Student Roleplay Tips

  • Live the Student Life: Pick a major – or don’t. Study hard, or fake it better. What matters is how your character grows over time, not your GPA.
  • Build Your Reputation: Make friends, enemies, rivals, lovers. Stir drama in class, at parties, or in shady study groups. Every connection fuels your arc.
  • Embrace the Struggle: Bomb a test. Cheat on a paper. Crack under pressure. College life is messy—lean into the chaos and evolve your character.
  • Join the Scene: Rush a frat. Start a cult. Launch a book club that becomes a fight club. Clubs and events are fuel for your next big storyline.
  • Think Beyond Campus: Intern at a shady business. Pick up a job at a sketchy boba shop. Use your student status to crash stories in Hathian and the Backwaters.
