{{ speaking as a player here, not the character: the brackets are used to denote out of character conversation }}

How about the [] with our name in it?

{{ those are a private message only to that character's plurk so only the poster and that character can see it }}

((yes, japan is right ))

{{ anything said in there cannot be used in play by other players }}

{{so its almost like your character is not able to see those messages, correct?}}

{{ right. they shouldn't be able to see them }}

{{so its just so that us players can read em, is that it?}}

{{ yes, but we can't use any information we read in playing or that's called breaking the fourth wall and metagaming - which is a huge no }}

{{ah I see. So if somebody has a private message, anything they say or do, I can not see as NENE}}

{{ right }}

{{this is more complicated than I thought}}

xiexie Japan, aru~

{{ it's roleplaying - it has its rules like any other game, really }}

{{are there anyother rules?}}

{{ mostly just make sure things stay fun, try not to assume the actions of other characters without asking the player first, don't go OOC }}

{{ things like that? i guess }}

{{yes fun! OOC?}}

{{ out of character: acting against the way canon describes a character to be. in this case, Hetalia. }}

{{ like it would be OOC of me to have Japan start flirting with everyone and stripping his clothes off }}

{{yeah, japan can't do that hahaha}}

{{ yeah, so staying IC - in character - as much as possible and keeping up communication via actual private or OOC plurks is important }}

{{its hard for me, since there aren't that much info about Nene, so I tend to get a little from Yao's character}}

{{I see. so by just using {{}} I can say things out of character?}}

{{ yeah. }

{{ and Nene is technically just a female Yao anyway? So looking at China's character as your base is a good starting point. }}

{{ otherwise, research into the country's culture and how women live since the nations are personifications of that }}

{{no fem Japan or Korea though}}

{{I see. So in that sense, it should be easier?}}

{{ it should be? I guess. I don't play Nyotalia so I don't know }}

{{ but I'd go through all the hetalia strips translated and look into the hetalia fan communities since there is information to be had }}

{{true! when I read it, I love nene with kiku as a small boy}}

{{Can Nene and Japan be friends here too?}}

{{ he's still a bit standoffish toward the other asians and will likely treat nene the same as he does with yao, but if that's okay? }}

how do you treat Yao?}}

{{ Japan is friendly, sure, but he's very closed off and standoffish since he isn't sure how to act around him after WW2 }}

{{ that said, he does try but he gets frustrated with China for all the copies the guy makes }}

{{copies}}

{{ yeah, China is famous for making bootlegs? }}

{{ also it's canon that Japan gets angry at China and lectures him when he sees another bootleg of his products }}

{{yes, China does that a lot}}

Japan is younger right?}}

{{ yeah, he's the first nation that China found }}

{{so can I call you little brother?}}

{{ Nene can call Japan that, but he'll deny it. }}

{{ yeah, feel free to shoot me a private OOC plurk on this if you have anything else you need to ask }}

thank you so much! For now I think Nene will have fun with Korea!}}

((ooc: if I want to talk in ooc, I usually use parentheses. and it's me the player talking, not England))

((ooc: this is good to use if you want to plot. otherwise you can send private plurks :3 ))

((<---so this works well to?))

((plot, you mean tell others what you intend to do?))

((yeah! especially if you want to ask other people 'hey can we do this?'))

{{ yeah, either parentheses work |D I just use these because they're easier for me }}

((so both works, I get it))

((so if I want to do something, and require other players help, I can do this?))

((yeah, and you can also send private plurks))

((okay!!))

((I'll ask if there is something else I need to know, is that okay?))

(please ^^ )

((Thank you very much!!))
