    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Use of ooc info to inform your actions in character. For example, I read on the forums that X is preparing to attack Z. My character is a member of Z, so I warn my fellow Z members in character about the attack. In this situation, I have used my out of ch
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Trying to control a character's actions other than your own, or attempting to do something that your character would be incapable of. For example, saying in rp "My character lifts the giant boulder." Not only would that likely be impossible for a single p

Oda Shingen was born in the far-off land of Yulthar, a land plagued by demons and other-worldly creatures. He was born into the noble Oda Clan, a powerful clan who ruled as Daimyos in Western Yulthar. He was born the son and heir to the Clan, and was trained as such: given the education and training befitting one who would one day be a Daimyo. However, the day that he reached the age of 18 all of that changed. Shingen had fallen in love with a beautiful young maiden from a nearby village. However, the maiden was considered an unsuitable bride for a future daimyo, and Shingen's father Hideyoshi refused to allow them to be married. So, ignoring the wishes of his father and the honor of his family, Shingen eloped with the young maiden, taking her hand and her maidenhood in a secret ceremony. His father, furious, declared that Shingen would be slain if he ever set foot in his lands again, disinheriting the young man. Shingen and his young bride traveled the land of Yulthar, searching for some sort of solace and peace, but only war, bloodshed, and misfortune met them at every turn. They lived like this for over a decade, traveling from village to village in attempts to support themselves and their children. Shingen took jobs killing monsters, killing men, anything that he could do to keep his family fed. Then, one day, when Shingen was 29 years old, he returned to the makeshift home that they had made for themselves to find that his wife and children had been slaughtered in their sleep, and all their worldly possessions stolen. Shingen was left with only the armor on his back and the swords he carried with him. Over the next year he hunted down the bandits who had killed his family, but he found no solace in their deaths; only emptiness. He attempted to live on his own in Yulthar for the next few months, but found that everything he saw in his homeland reminded him of the life and the family that he had lost. Finally, with no other recourse, he returned home to his father's castle. However, his younger brother was now daimyo, his father dead. his younger brother, fearing that his lordship would be taken from him by his elder brother, drove Shingen away. Shingen, with all lost, was ready to end his life when he heard of an expedition to a far-off land called Atlas. With nothing left to lose, Shingen set off to this new world of opportunity, in the hopes that he could find there the salvation that he had been denied in his homeland.

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…
