    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Metagaming is when you (as a person in real life) knows something that your character wouldn't/couldn't know and you use that info to your advantage
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Powergaming is when people decide to make their characters unstoppable. I.e. being able to kill 4+ enemy's without the smallest scratch. It is also when you try to control another players character. I.e. Billy shoots an arrow into Drakes head killing him

I was born in the middle of the forests of Gladewynn, or so I was told. I was raised by two elves, claiming to be my parents. We moved around a lot, never staying in the same place for more then a few months. At the age of 10 the elvish couple confessed that they were not my real parents, they explained to me that they couldn't have a child themselves and when they found me in the woods they didn’t care that I was an orc. But they later realized that they could no longer stay at their house, for the elvish state of Gladewynn has a strict ban on orcs for being brutish man-beasts. They returned only to pack their things but in doing so word got out about my parents fostering an orphaned orc. With the threat of my execution and their imprisonment all too real, they fled from their home with bounty placed apon our heads, never to return. When I was 11 my parents decided to settle down in an old farm house, it wasn’t much, especially by elvish standards. But it was our home, and about a year later we had it completely fixed up, it was time to start our new live as farmers. Unfortunately fate had another plan. A fire broke out in the house that night. I was out collecting timber when it happened, and by the time I came back all that was left of my home was cinders. I dug through the ashes frantically trying to find my  parents, but alas when I did find them they were already chard to a crisp, I will NEVER forget the smell of burning flesh. It was clear what started the fire, as their was a long scorch mark in the grass indicating a fuse of some sort, the fire was intentional. I don’t know who started the fire, or even if they are still alive, But I promised my parents that if I wound them I would slowly burn them alive, and make it as painful as I possibly could. I will never understand why they would adopt an orc as a son, they were elves after all. They truly should have just executed me on sight, like The Constitution of Gladewynn demands. As orc is not worthy of being their kin, and should instead be slaughtered like an animal.

They duck into one of the shacks, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the small room, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town?" She begins, then pauses to study their face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a chair, “Where do you come from? What do you hope to make of yourself?”

"Oh, I just, uh…" The traveler stutters, tensing up. They eye the crone, then back outside the shack. For a moment, the air thickens with anticipation, until…

Greetings, your application has been placed on pending. You will have 24 hours to complete the following changes

 

Your powergaming definition is half right. Please read our Powergaming wiki page to get the rest of it.

You need a little more lore in your biography. Look over the forums for settlements that you can include.

I highly suggest reading the Orc wiki page to understand them. It is very unlikely he would be raised by elves. However, you can claim this if you wish.

Your height is slightly lore breaking. Please bring him down a little in height.

 

You will find our New Player Discord will have valuable resources and members to help you. You are welcome to PM me with any questions comments or concerns you may have. Please notify me when you are finished with your changes
