Well in most normal LARP's, you are in a game that will have a setting, and depending on the game, will decide what your characters are. Like I play in a Vampire: The Requiem LARP. So all the characters are Vampires based on the settings rules. In this type of game, you design your character, dress up as it, and play with others in a Setting. A LARP that would be played at a Con, would be played by Cosplayers, in full costume, acting true to the character they are portraying The main problem of course is getting a setting to work properly with all the various types of characters in Anime. Which is easily fixed if one doesn't mind designating a theme. Like "Only character from the modern era" or "only characters from Yami No Matsuei." Cause it makes no sense for Vash to run into Kenshin, and have them act like its all normal. *Snickers*
The main answer though is, you dress up as the character, and play as the character to interact with other characters with a plot driven story.
So you actually walk around, chatting with others, as the character. Think of it as your an Actor in a Improve play.
