    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Powergaming, described by the act of doing something that does not fit within the boundaries of what a persons character should be capable of doing, is an act that should not be partaken in due to the unfairness that it allows a persons character to accurately represent. Not only this, but actions such as controlling and ignoring actions fall under this category.
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Metagaming, described by the act of knowing OOCLY (Out of characterly) information in order to do something that does not fit in the boundaries of what a character should know, should be avoided due to the unfairness that it provides to fellow roleplayers.

33 years ago, a blue-skinned goblin was born in an encampment located East in the Horde-controlled lands. Thus began the story of "Linn" the goblin, and the beginning of his endeavors. Linn grew up within a monster encampment where he was forced to do mining work once he hit a certain age in order to make life livable. Though he was treated differently due to the odd color of his goblin skin, he never knew of where he came from and what it truly meant. Nevertheless, Linn dreamed of higher heights than just the camp- riches and more importantly a family that would love and treat him with respect, unlike the plethora of people he was forced to work under throughout his early life. As he hit the age that signaled adulthood for goblins, he continued to grow better at the mining job he was placed under as a young goblin. This made others working at the camp very resentful towards him- so much to the point that they intentionally sabotaged his work.

 

Once Linn had hit the age of 24, he was forcibly removed from the camp; this was due to him 'under performing' in his job criteria. Later on, he realized that it was due to the underlying sabotages from others that he had been led down to this path.

 

Without a doubt, Linn still only craved few things in the world- the most important being someone to care for... and soon he'd encountered.... another.

Roleplay Scenario:


~

Upon arriving into the smaller looking town, Linn searched around for a inn of some sort to cower into during the night. Eventually finding himself into one of the shacks, he finds himself face-to-face with the old hag before saying; "Oh sorry! I didn't see you there when I entered, I only wished to find a place to stay for the night-" Linn couldn't even finish his sentence before he was interrupted. "What? I'm not who you think I am... I promise you that." He gave a stern look, this ticked something inside of his head. Whether or not she was being serious about knowing who he was, he continued to act oblivious.

Seeing the gesture towards the chair, Linn let out a sigh of relief before making his way to sit down. "I apologize for the mishap, I appreciate the kind gesture- Oh um... I'm simply searching for my brother in arms, Gobb." He took his seat, trying to act as normal as he possibly could. "We hope to make a home for ourselves somewhere... to try and show people that we really can make it somewhere in this world!" He excitingly said, nearly standing out of his chair with how much he was starting to flare.
