To explain how the RPG forum works:

Somebody proposes a Story setting in which the world, rules, possibilities, and so on are described. Then the interested players gather and create their character (sometimes 2 or more are possible). If the character is accepted, the player can write the story of his character in this world.

So my question: Can I, someone who writes frequently in this forum, adapt that to my writing?

It's in German, so if there is interest I will add a link to the forum, but currently I'm at work so...

EDIT:

I'm sorry, it seems, like I formulated my question not in the right way. What I actually wanted to ask is if I can adapt the writing style and not the story content from the forum. That I can say: "I know how to narrate my characters in this forum so I can do so in books I want to write."

But I'm also thankful for the answers that were already given. Maybe I can use them in one occasion.
