In Blood Red Roses, players physically portray characters in the fictional setting of Algandy, improvising their characters' speech and movements like actors in improvisational theatre.

PLAYERS
Players each have their own predefined characters (see character creation below) with associated skills, strengths, knowledge and even disadvantages. Players' may play and develop their characters over a number of Blood Red Roses events unless their character is killed during play. At this point they may develop a new character or, if they wish become crew.

NON-PLAYER CHARACTERS (CREW)
Non-player characters, or NPCs, facilitate the plotline by playing a variety of roles. These roles can be anything from well-defined characters who interact with the players to being part of a ravaging hoard of undead. Crew frequently change character many times in one day.

IN CHARACTER
Players are in character from the moment time in is called and remain so untill time out is called. During this period, crew also remain in character if they are visible to the players. If it is necessary for players or visible crew to act out of character during this time (crew for example may need to pass players en route to another area), they may demonstrate the fact by raising one arm in the air. In dialogue, it is also possible to use the phrase "out of character" to prefix out of character dialogue.
