    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Metagaming is when a player uses information gathered from OOC conversations that would otherwise be inaccessible to influence their character.
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Powergaming is when a player uses a roleplay tactic or action that they would not be able to do in reality. An example of powergaming might go something like this - Bandit: steals womans purse. This action leaves very little room for the other interacting
    Status: Accepted

Background:

Arryn was born outside of the city of Gladewynn after her mother fled from Okarn'thilln out of fear for her and Arryn’s life. Her parents were an unfortunate love story, a high elf woman falling in love with a wood elf man. Arryn’s mother knew that her people would hate her above all else for the sin of interbreeding, but she worried that they may also try to exact revenge on her.  Her mother and father spent days on end trying to craft a solution, but their love for Arryn made them fearful. They worried that if they were to stay together as a family, a shadow of shame would loom over Arryn for her entire life. Thinking she would be well accepted, they left Arryn outside of Gladewynn with an embroidered blanket wrapped around her. The only clue as to her identity was the name stitched into Arryn’s coverings when she was discovered.

 

Unlike the down-to-earth Wood Elves she grew up around, Arryn is logical and precise, taking an intense liking to math and philosophy. To the irritation of her friends and family, Arryn often finds her thoughts carrying her away from important conversations and tasks. The analytical mind of a High Elf is in constant strife with the expressive heart of a Wood Elf inside Arryn. Arryn is wonderfully kind and generous, but always willing to barter with shopkeepers to get her loved ones the best price possible. Her personality isn't always sunny, especially when the prim-and-proper attitude of a High Elf sneaks into her behaviour.

 

Arryn wants to understand why there seem to be bits of her past that are out of order or missing altogether. She has a strong desire to receive an education but is not interested in the druid magic that those in Gladewynn have tried to teach her. For some reason, the city of Gladewynn does not hold her down like a home would. She feels as though the few roots she has laid in the city are barely enough to keep her from flying away. Arryn would want nothing more than to set out on foot or on horseback to travel for as long as she could manage.

Character Name: Arryn Virilee
Character Race: High Elf
Character Gender: Female
Character Age: 37
Physical Description: Arryn has grey eyes, olive skin, and chestnut hair. She is 5'4 with a strong but lean build.
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?”

"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…

Ø  Your powergaming definition is very close but does not quite cover the key point in the server’s definition of powergaming. Please refer to our wiki page on Powergaming for the most correct and relevant info (Just keep in mind not to plagiarize).

 

Ø  While it is not at all required to change this, I wanted to make you aware that your character’s age makes them very young for an elf. In most elven cultures, elves are not culturally considered adults until they reach the age of about 50. This means that while your character would be physically mature, they will still be considered a child by most elves on LotC.

 

Ø The city you’ve mentioned, Linandria, is from a previous map, now vacated. Due to your characters age, it is not possible for them to have been born there. Please look for a city from our current map/continent, ‘Arcas’, or the map that has just been fled in game, ‘Atlas’.

 

Ø Your character’s skin does not match their physical description. Please change your character’s description or find another, more appropriate skin. The LoTC Skin Archive on the forum is there for use and for inspiration.

 

 

You’re nearly there however there are a few changes that you must make to your application before you can be whitelisted. You have 24 hours to make the changes above. Once you’ve finished editing your application, shoot me a message here on the forums or through discord and I’ll take another look.

Feel free to also join our New Player Discord! Here you can ask questions to our Communication Team, meet other players and view up to date roleplay opportunities.

 

If you ever have any questions or need help, please feel free to contact me here on the forums, through my discord (Aqua#5363) or by /msg Aquaquean in-game. You can also /atreq on the server to place a ticket if you require assistance from any of us Communication Team members.

I’m happy to be the first to welcome you to LOTC! As soon as this is posted, you should be whitelisted onto the server. Contact me or make an /atreq in game if there’s any issues with whitelisting.
