    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Letting the knowledge you have outside of your character interfere in your role playing actions
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Excluding other people's considerations aiming to achieve a fast objective within the game, an example being a player "sneaking" up on you and slicing your thumb so now you cant hold a weapon properly on that hand

   Akker, son of Utdruk Oreshaper, has lived most of his live as a miner, with his cousin Bumnick OakenDigger, who is mostly a farmer per say (someones gotta get food). Unlikely most of their race, they both are quite ok with other races and understand that socialization maybe necessary in the future, when they are outside their caves. Their parents died in the War of the Beards so now they live alone in a not very well know mountain in Atlas. 

   He didnt take part in the war since he never heard of it until the notice of his parents death came to his door one day. Akker never heard of it cause he spent years mining and fighting the creatures from the depths, some even say its some kind of addiction. Before his parents death, he wasnt really found of other races nor strange people, but now his before unwillingness (seen on most cave dwarfs) is starting to fade, recently he even likes going to Dunshire eventually and sinking the night off in alcohol.

   Now hes on a mission to become a great warrior and a legendary miner amongst dwarfs. 


Character Name: Akker Oreshaper
Character Race: Cave Dwarf
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 171
Physical Description: A middle-aged dwarf, not very frightening looking but you can see he knows his ways both around weapons and ores. Dark eyes and 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?”

((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…

Why he thinks hes a shaman:

 

One day, during some territorial disputes close to their home, the cousins found themselves in the middle of a battle (not a huge one, around 40 dwarfs vs 75 Elfs), a massacre was about to be bestowed upon the dwarfs.

Blood after blood, his cousin tripped (to this day he still not very fond of fighting) and fell down in a river, carried away by the flowing current (he fainted as soon as he dropped, since his cousin is not fond of huge bodies of water). Akker was surrounded, he saw his whole life passing through his eyes. It was there that he remembered an old tale of shamans and he yelled to the skies: “Storm, earth and fire, heed my call! I am the son of the wind and rain, Thunder beckons and I heed the call! If I die, upon this day, In battle I will fall! Dwarf brothers falling at my side, With honor I will die! And upon the altar of the storms, I shall be reborn!!”

A little weather forecast here: They were indeed fighting alongside a mountain (likely a stone pinnacle of sorts, with a river flowing below), and huge clouds of thundering storms were coming their way since the beginning.

As soon as he finished his glorious speech (blatantly copied from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brWXG6sQe5I), huge stones started falling from the top of the mountain (it had been the worst storm that land had seen in years, some say even the Gods battled that day) and Akker got hit in the head by a falling stone (he doesnt seem to be any left damage currently), as he fainted he saw a huge lightning coming to the ground and splattering around the place and he claims that he TOTALLY heard his name across the sky, like an thunder echoing across the world.

His cousin, when he got a grip of himself again and swore to never touch huge masses of water, went to the now what Akker calls the Stone Altar, just to find his cousin body there, not dead, just unconcious. When Akker and his cousin got back home, Akker told him what happened after he falled into the river, saying he had became a shaman.

 

His cousin, thinking he had lost his mind, went along with it and made him promise to not tell anyone about the “shaman” stuff (he knows everything happened at the right time and at the right place, but they cant afford to argue in these hard times.)

 

Now, Akker awaits for the nature to call him to his true mission on earth, it being …
