Well i think Gleech has pretty much covered it all (lol and my username is his creation...not mine) but some things that i think are essential to a good rp are things like this:
Make the rp sound realistic: I don't mean make it sound like it is possible, i mean don't make it look like that your character is controlled by you.
E.g. Arrow: I IZ GONNA FIRE MAH LAZAR WHEN I PRESS TEH H KEY ON MEH KEYBOARD
Mikey: (okay, wtf, you just gave away the cool suprise!) UMM YES :D
Make sure your character keeps their personality, unless something has MADE them change in the rp.
E.g. Arrow: *Knocks on door* *Door opens* Hey dude, how ya doin'?
Mikey: Hey mate! Yeah uhhh... i'm fine, you wanna play outside?
Arrow: NO YOU BIG FAT SON OF A *names Mikey's mum* I HATE GOING OUTSIDE!
Mikey: WELL I'M GOING OUT!!! YOU CAN'T STOP ME YOU BIG FAT SON OF A *names Arrow's mum*
Make it as CREATIVE as possible, don't just follow one boring storyline...
E.g. Arrow: Yay...we got the sparkly diapers...what ne-- *gets hit from behind and spun around by some shady chara.*
And finally try make your rp as LONG as possible, imagination has no limits!
E.g. Mikey: Finally after two years of roboticism, i am FREE!! MWAH AH AH AH AHA HAHA huh--? *metal substance crawls across arms and makes new robot armour* WHAT?!?"
Random computer: Well done you have completed your warriror training, now you will need to face two more LIGHT years of this! Enjoy! =D
Well that's what i can think of hope it helps!
