Found near the great capital of Marna by a group of adventurers, abandoned and left to die, he was given to a simple farming family to raise. After his home, a small farming village outside of Marna, was raided by a necromancer, and his adoptive parents killed, he swore to get revenge on the person who ruined his life. Wandering around Atlas for a time, he learned many survival skills. He finally settled down in the great city of Marna, and took the simple job of day-laborer, when a mysterious dark elf told him one thing. The name of the necromancer who killed his parents. Emboldened by the knowledge of his enemy, he left the city of Marna with his few possessions, and set out to avenge his family. 


Character Name: Falx Messorem
Character Race: Heartlander
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 19
Physical Description: A brown-haired human with restless eyes, and always on guard. His untrustworthy demeanor makes people around him uncomfortable, but not purposefully.
Roleplay Scenario: The traveller has just arrived in a small town. As they look around, their gaze is met with run down houses and shops. 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?”

((How does your character respond? Please ensure your response is at least six sentences long, and uses at least two actions.))

Example: (delete this when you add your own)

"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…

Like last time, my metagaming and powergaming definitions were cut short. Here are the completed versions. Sorry for the mistake.

Metagaming: 

Metagaming, to me (now ? ) is when you basically help your character out by telling them things that they wouldn't know usually if they were living in Atlas (and no, praying to your deity so they can PM your friends on discord for some help with a boss is still metagaming ? ).  Some examples of metagaming is when you go on discord with your friend, a member of a group you are attacking, and learning about your enemies through your traitorous friend. Basically, it's cheating, and to hardcore roleplayers it is really annoying. Metagaming is using out of game help to upgrade or benefit your character.

 

Poweremoting, also known as powergaming, is when you make your character do something that is basically impossible for them. For example, my character Falx Messorem is an assassin. I can't just throw a cow or something, or one-shot another player, as that is an example (a perfect one) of poweremoting. Whether I'm poweremoting or not is really easy for me to determine, as I just have to think if I could possibly do the thing in real life, albeit with better speed and slightly better strength. I could not backflip off a cliff and survive, but I probably could backstab an orc and run away after.

Ø  Your powergaming definition is correct, however your mention of magic within it isn't allowed. Just to clarify- your character cannot start with any knowledge or ability with magic- not even basic. Just take that part out of the definition :)
