I've been roleplaying ever since my early teens, and I've learned a lot so far without an acceptable basis or at least prior knowledge on roleplaying. I've taken no advices (since apparently asking experienced roleplayers mostly lead to misunderstandings due to my insufficient details when asking), I only learned through browsing good roleplays, and kept a makeshift format (from studying common terms and basics) in mind whenever I roleplay.
But the thing is, now that I find myself in an actual community of roleplayers with a seemingly organized system of RP'ing, I feel degenerate with the knowledge I have whenever I write a prompt and not understand what a 'trope' is or what kind of 'aspects' (e.g. crime noir aspect) there are in writing a story.
Basically, I want to know how to roleplay back to square one, where the foundation is set. And to know those specific terms and aspects that I may have missed when I was starting out under my self-tutelage. A guide will suffice, and maybe include an advice as well.
