    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Powergaming is when an individual applies either unrealistic and/or overpowering aspect to a roleplay situation. An examples of such behaviour is forcing down actions onto another player without giving them a chance to react back and respond.

    Powergaming should be avoided because it can give a player an unfair advantage in a roleplay scenario. One way of avoiding powergaming is by instead of performing an action directly, a player should first attempt doing the action.
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Metagaming can be simply explained as a situation, in which a character knows information they have no way to know thruought In-Charcter means. An example of meta is when a friend of yours DMs you on Discord where a certain person is without being informed about it ICly.

    Metagaming should be avoided due to the fact that, the same as Powergaming, it creates an unfair advantage to a player who hasn't gained any information in-game, and instead got informed OOCly.

Astram was born in the Kingdom of Norland around 32 years ago to a single mother, with his father absent ever since. His mother raised him to be mindful and respectful. Some time around the age of 6, during a cold winter night, inside their lakeside hut, broken glass would have been heard falling onto the floor—something wasn't right... As the child woke up, calling for his mother, heavy footsteps could be heard throughout the hut. With the child now worried, he would peek out of the door of his small room, yet the complete darkness of the night would have masked anything he could have seen at that moment. With the young Astram slowly making his way in complete blindness towards the general direction of his mother's room, the child would continue calling for his own mother, but he was met with no luck. The calls would slowly turn into screams, followed by worried tears slowly streaming down the kid's cheeks. Finally, having been able to reach his mom's room, the child would be met with an unexpected occurrence—no one was there; the room would be completely trashed, with almost every wall having been scratched up. It was obvious there were signs of struggle. The child would continue to make his way throughout the whole hut, trying to find his mother at any cost, but he was met with no success. After what felt like days, the sun would slowly go up from the East, the darkness of the night would slowly fade away, and light would peek in through the broken windows. As the young Astram slowly opened up his eyes, he would be met with a disastrous view—a blood trail, which went from the mother's room into the hut's doors. The child would fall into tears as he began sobbing over his missing mother. After a few days of the child walking around the woods, trying his best to find his mother, he would be found by a group of wanderers, who, after hearing what had happened, decided to take him to an orphanage. Having been taken under the wings of an orphan house, the child went from being a talkative soul to a quiet child, having been sitting alone and not talking with anyone. Throughout his life in the children’s shelter, young Astram was able to make a handful of friends, with whom he spent most of his teenage years, until reaching the age of 18 years old, which is when he decided on one thing—to either find his mother, or take revenge on the people who had hurt her. Having travelled throughout the whole land of Azuras, he was able to find the people who had taken him to the orphanage. After a few minutes of talking with them, Kaldsen was unable to find any clues as to where his mother might be. Even now, at the ripe age of 32 he is still looking for his mother and the people who have taken her away from him.


Character Name: Astram Kaldsen
Character Race: Highlander
Character Gender: Male

Physical Description: Astram appeared to be a 6'2" adult man. Having a fit frame, the man would weigh around 195 lbs. He would also have dark hazel eyes and brown hair.
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?”

The man would slowly turn towards the woman. "Ehh... Norland." Astram would simply answer. "I'm looking for... Someone."  He said, before sitting down in the chair, placing his left leg over his right,

"Right... Okay!"  The woman would say as she sat down on a chair.

As Astram looked the old hag up and down, questioning her appearance an- Wait, wait... What? "Wait-..." — "...-Expecting me?" The man's brow would slowly raise as his eyes filled with suspicion. "What do you mean that you expected me..."
