    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Metagaming is when you are told something in real life, and then you go and do it in game without your character in-game being told.

Thomas was born in a small home located in Gladewyn, and had two younger siblings named Margaret and Paul. As a kid, he was very strong and always defending his siblings no matter what. His father was about 20% elf and 80% human, and his mother was all human. Thomas grew up in a small, poor family, so he was not very wealthy as a kid, but didn’t know that when he turned 15 he would become a “work in progress” guard for the emperor’s family. He decided that being a guard just didn’t fit him, and decided to drop the idea. Thomas weighs 135 pounds, and was 5”7. Two years later, his parents and siblings were taken into the north mountains by the Orcs, never to be seen again. After they had disappeared, his anger overtook him and he became a thief robbing Orcs, even though he didn’t know exactly why they took them away. He has stopped his crime, and now tries to be like he was whenever he was a kid, trying to help everyone he sees.

 

After he turned 21, he decided he was going to move to Fenn, and on his way he passed through the mountains looking for his parents. But, he had seen no traces of them, and went up to Fenn. He had to adjust to the new culture, but after a few weeks, he lost all of his money and couldn’t find a new job. He ended up being homeless, which made him want to start robbing again, but he knew that in the long-run it would be the wrong thing to do. Thomas, to this day, continues looking for his family, but has not found any traces of them yet.


Character Name: Thomas Stanford
Character Race: Human
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 24
Physical Description: Thomas has blue eyes, brown hair, and a bandana wrapped around his face. He has light skin, dark clothes, and a bow & arrow hidden behind his back.
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…

  • Your powergaming definition is cut off at some point. You seem to start a sentence, but then it gets cut off from the first word. I just suggest tidying it up.
  • You failed to include two references to lore in your character biogaphy.
    • You can find the wiki [here] . These references can be cities, events and so on. Remember to make sure they fit in with the timeline.
  • You should have a positive, neutral and negative traite. Physical or mental.
    • Being a bandit is irrelevent and not a trait,
    • Being strong is fine, but remember that at 19 he would not be perfect, and would not be unbeatable. Please keep this in mind.
  • Finally, your skin is very generic. I understand that it might be difficult to find suitable skins, but there are a plethora available on the forums, through skin makers, or on things like planet mine craft. I say  this purely, because a typical bandit skin, while technically suitable, isn’t unique in any which way.

Please, make your changes in your own time! Any questions, feel free to PM me on the forums or on discord, Laurelin#0797

Hi Lirinya, thanks for the feedback! I just have one question, do I need to find/make a different skin? Edit: nevermind, I got it.

Your partly there.

Remember your interesting facts, how they should be traits.

  • You basically need a neutral trait.
    • Being strong is a positive, as long as you remember the powergaming rules,
    • Being a risk taker can be your negative.

Come up with a relevent one, and you should be good to go.

 

As a side note, the new skin is still quite generic, but it looks better than the last one.

I think we're getting a little lost on the bandit side of things as well as traits. 

 

Being a bandit isn't relevent to the interesting facts side of things. 

 

Neutral traits could be things like being ordinary, or being absent minded.
