Just a few questions ;]

Well, see, I'm new with the roleplaying thing. But most of my questions are pure curiousity questions, ones I don't know if I'll need to know for here or not.

I'm just wondering what 'anthro roleplaying' (if I spelled anthro right) and 'quad roleplaying' are. I'm assuming that they're types of roleplaying (obviously) and I know 'quad' had something to do with four =D But that's as far as I can go. :3 So, just for my curiousity, any one have an answer?

Um.... As far as I am aware, the term "anthro" refers to the Furry Fandom, and "anthro" characters are usually pictured as animal-esqe with a human construction.
See below:


As far as this goes with Harry Potter characters, I can only assume it would be with animaeguses (those whom can transform into animals at will), but I'm not entirely sure if that's what "anthro roleplay" is.


"Quad roleplay" I can only assume would mean a roleplay with four participants.


I'm sure this didn't help whatsoever, but I try. ^^'

xD It was a nice try.
I was just curious. And it gave me some idea. Anyways, this is the only roleplay I've been interested in so far, so all I need to know is what I've already learned ;3 And then I just have my naturally curiousity about the rest.
