Okay, these are crucial elements to role-play & are not hard to learn and pick up.
Realism - It's basic and only requires common sense, if your a human you can't shoot around walls, you can't magically summon a sword etc etc. So when you roleplay the easiest way to do this is imagine yourself in the situation, like it is real the real world where things like this simply can not happen. Here is an example of " Unrealism " & then " Realism "

That is simply not realistic, so it is not realism. I know if you were new the last thing you want to do is die right? Well thats part of Role Play, the scenes you partake in and create.
That is good, you died sure thats not good but the point is it was realistic.
Detail : Role Play has 2 aspects, the speed in which you can Role Play and how good you are at Role Play now you may think the speed is most important WRONG in percentage it would be 80 % Role Play ability and 20 speed. A massive aspect of Role Play ability is detail, and its simple aswell. Describe the smells of the area you would be in the sounds your emotions even things you would do in real life like scratching your head. All these things count in detail, I will give another example, The scene is this your walking into a bar It's filled with smoke and looks like a seedy bar.
Example Of No Detail :
That is boring...

Not only does it look better it gives you the chance to engage others in your Role Play.
