    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Metagaming is the act of acting on something you know from out of character knowledge. Say I know that some dwarves are going to raid a city out of character, but I still act on going to defend said city in character.
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: This is forcing actions on another player's character without chance for them to react/deflect. It is also being overpowered in your physical strength, magic, etc.

Largo was born on the streets of Haense, he had a rough childhood, having no true home. His mother and father only knew eachother from a brief and drunken night in a tavern. This left him to be born into immediate poverty and abandoned shortly after his third birthday by his mother, never to see her again. So on these streets he grew, learning very little in his life but of the street. In his mind, he was one with the street in a sense, it coursed with him and he knew it as he knew his soul. At the ripe age of ten, he got into his first fight, losing it horribly, a pattern emerged of him getting into more fights with other street children, but as the years ticked on and time grew long, so did he. He began to brawl more often, in the corners of the city, never out in the light. Though the city was the only home he ever knew, and the forests the only wood he had ever roamed, he knew it was time to move on. So at eighteen he set off, without much to his name, too poor to afford another shirt than the one he had still.

 

As he ventured forth from Haense, down the long and cold road away from the city, he spotted somebody in the distance. A group of travelers, he thought, from Belvitz, he hailed them, and even though they stopped, to hail him back, he felt something was off. They came towards him, closer and closer, before unsheathing swords and yelling things frantically at him.

 

"Off with your bag! Mina! Now!"

 

Not knowing what to do, he was launched into a panic, charging at one of the men, though as he was going to tackle the him, he was hit in the head with the butt of the bandit's sword. This knocked him out only after the third blow to his cranium, leaving him robbed and left for dead, only his pants left with him. A couple hours later, a wandering monk from the Cloud Temple spotted him. The monk came upon a bloody hump of a man, near death, the monk quickly brought Largo back to the temple and had him nursed back to health. Now, Largo after weeks of being brought back to his full health is finally ready to leave the temple, far from his previous home.


Character Name: Largo
Character Race: Highlander
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 18
Physical Description: A ragged looking man with a strange glare in his eyes. He wears no shirt and his beard is matted. His pants are wool and held up by a loose belt.
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…
