    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Using out-of-character knowledge to your advantage. Shortest example I can think of is that you're reading someone else's character profile to know all of their weaknesses/quirks and using that to your advantage. Let's say that Character B has a crippling
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: /doj /kill. Powergaming is where you treat yourself like the baddest of badasses to ever badass. You can't fail, because that isn't fun. When you attack, you WILL cut off their arm. You WILL dodge or block their attack, and you WILL ignore just about ever

Alright, round 2.

Indoril was born, or at the very least, found in a small, lawless 'town', a shanty of shacks, abandoned forts, and makeshift buildings located in some forgotten corner of the Ker'nor of Axios. He never really knew his parents, being abandoned at an early age of 5, and he never knew why. Perhaps something ill happened to them? Not that he cares, any more.

Growing up a street rat, it was there Indoril learned that the world was a terrible place and that cruelty, cunning, and adaptability was crucial to survive.


At the age of 13, Indoril found himself a new family with the rest of the pickpockets and cutthroats. The "House" of Varys. The house part was a little bit of irony, seeing as they were almost the exact opposite of a house, simply being a group of criminals that decided to ironically call themselves nobility. Indoril soon learned that honesty was a terrible quality to have. Beaten raw and bloody and threatened to an inch of his life each time he neared the house, Indoril stubbornly came back day after day, week after week, until eventually, his tenacity and will to survive grew on the band of criminals.


Over the next few decades "Golden Boy Indoril", a name he earned from his love for gold jewelry and pretty boy looks, quickly became known throughout the town as the leader of a small group of thugs and quickly grew the influence and power of his house. 
Life was harsh, but treated Indoril right. It wasn't until his "family" grew a bit too powerful that the neighboring criminal "houses" decided that they should be cut down to size.

It was the middle of night, on an eclipse, when Indoril heard the sound of explosions and smelled the familiar smell of oil and smoke. It was a slaughter on both ends.  It was towards the end of the fighting that Indoril claimed his first real victim. One who didn't deserve it. A real murder. It was an impulsive reaction, a reaction to the stabbing pain in his back. He only meant to aim for the stomach, and It was as if time slowed down. His dagger found its place in the heart of a young elvish child. A normal wood elf boy. Perhaps only ten. Too young to be in this line of work, too pure to be in dark elf territory. He let go of the dagger, his hands shaking. For a second, he saw himself in the boy. His vision blurred, his body felt damp and cold. He asked the boy for his family's name and why he was here, out of all places. He buried the boy and dyed his hair black, as a way of mourning. 


As the head of the house died during the fighting, they had to elect for a new head. Most voted for the Golden Boy and life continued as normal for all except for poor Indoril. He never forgot what happened that night. For the next year,  all he saw in his dreams were the cold eyes of that young elvish boy. He  eventually left the town after a year, saying that he simply wanted to take a walk. See what the rest of the world was. It was a lie, of course. He was going to kill the boy's parents, for sending him to this fate. He never really understood why he felt so motivated to do so. Perhaps it's because he, too, was an abandoned child, maybe he wanted to fulfill what the boy would want, maybe it was to simply avenge the boy.


He never did find the boy's parents and he never did find the need to go back to his house. Maybe he really did want to take a walk around the world, after all.

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…

Upon review, your application has been placed onto Pending. It's a well written application, lots of depth, and was a good read. However, there are a few portions that don't add up to our current timeline, so I'm gonna go ahead and point those out below. If you need any help, don't be afraid to utilize our wiki or New Player Discord, as they are fantastic sources to find information.

Below, you will find the necessary changes that must be made to your application in order to be accepted:

  • The dates don't match up to our current timeline. We've only been on Atlas for 20-30 years, for your character to of "grown up" in Atlas, you'd be closer to that age range.
  • You can always utilize a former map, such as Axios/Vailor/etc., you'll just need to dig up the city information.
