    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Metagaming is taking information from any place that isn't in-character roleplaying and utilizing it when you do enter a roleplay session. For example, let’s say I'm roleplaying with a friend on this server and they tell me that another character we have
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Powergaming is the act of deciding and concluding the next action of another player--whom is interacting with you—and demanding that they accept the outcome. This makes what should be turn-based action into a one-sided decision. An example of powergaming

Exelia is the only child of Yvaeta and Wexling Varodair. Wexling and Yvaeta Varodair ran a successful glass business in Athalia where they raised their daughter, though they weren’t very wealthy they tried to teach her with books from Wexlings fathers childhood so she might learn something and have a better life than they did. While Exelia and her family ethnically look very Adunian, her father decided that it would be best for them to forge a new life and forget about their peoples past. Thus Exelia does not know much about the tragedies that stain the past Adunian civilizations or cultural tensions like that with the Highlander Andunian’s. Additionally, Wexling created a bastardized version of their last name in order to mislead people from thinking any connection to a Adunian clan/house. However, her father did instill a great belief of New Adunian Creatorism within her, but her mother also convinced her that making it known what religion she follows might bring about negative scenarios. Though her parents failed to produce a healthy foundation of social skills in Excelia, because of their fear of people discovering to whom they were related, they did excel in producing a strong interest in science and mathematics within Exelia. Paired with her constant exposure to glass-blowing, molding, and the powerful flames of a forge Exelia has taken great interests in objects that give her the ability to look at distances farther than the human eye can. Now that Exelia has grown to a appropriate age her parents have sent her off to begin her own life, and in the hopes of finding a professor/mage/noble-man whom might take her on in learning about astrological and astronomical studies. She is left with few belongings such as two bags of currency, a makeshift magnifier, a blunt dagger, and a small glass sculpture of what her father thought a dragon might look like.  


Character Name: Exelia Byeol Varodair
Character Race: Human
Character Gender: Female
Character Age: 18
Physical Description: Exelia is 5'11 with dark black hair, green eyes, and pale skin. She has a plump pear-shaped build and well-proportioned facial features.
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.))

"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…

Note: I’ve been having a little trouble finding out what the current lore/lay of the land is within the wiki and forum pages. So, if anything is factually incorrect in regards to lore its because of that. I also assumed it was okay to choose Adunian because it was featured on the, “Races” wikia page. Thanks for reading this! ?

 

Edit: I also just noticed my examples of powergaming and metagaming were cut off for some reason. For metagaming I provided the example of my character learning from someone else that a third character was planning to propose to mine. If I logged onto a rp session with those people and refused to marry him before he could even begin, that would be metagaming. For powergaming, I gave the example of pulling a all consuming black hole (Kirby) out of a bag and swallowing two other characters into a void in which they couldn’t return from. Doing so would not let either react or respond to my action.
