    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Using knowledge gained from outside roleplay as an advantage, for example receiving information from a friend outside the game and using that to make decisions that your character would not make or not have the knowledge necessary to make the decision.
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Powergaming is emoting actions that your character would not usually be able to do and takes away another players ability to respond/defend/react like *Evelyn karate chops Bob in half* which is unrealistic and stops bob from reacting.

Evelyn was born a peasant in the Imperial City Carolustadt, she never knew her mother as she passed away during childbirth and so she grew up alone with her father who dreamed of one day becoming a world renowned travelling merchant.

 

When Evelyn was 5 years of age her father finally got his start working under a local merchant selling farm produce at the marketplace and so Evelyn spent many days home alone doing housework hoping that when she was old enough her father would let her help him fulfil his dream.

 

When Evelyn was 12 years of age the merchant who hired her father had passed away, having no living relatives the merchant left all he had including his family name ‘Resat’ to Evelyn's father who over the years had gained the merchants trust, respect and friendship, With the merchants still small business left to him Evelyn's father began to expand the business opening up a general store and selling all manor of items, from food and drink to pottery and trinkets.

 

When Evelyn was 15 years of age her father decided it was time to begin expanding the business once again and started making deliveries to other cities and towns around the area, this proved to be profitable and the business became more and more prosperous. 

 

At the age of 20 Evelyn was finally able to convince her father to hire her, during her first trip escorting a caravan with her father they were ambushed by a heavily armoured mercenary company, the caravan was quickly overpowered and all the merchants and guards taken prisoner. A merchant from Carolustadt who was jealous of Evelyn’s fathers success came over to gloat at his victory and ordered a robed man standing next to him to execute the merchants and guards of the caravan, the prisoners were rounded up including Evelyn and her father and the Robed man began casting a elemental evocation and a torrent of flame came spewing towards the prisoners as Evelyn closed her eyes and braced for the impact of the blast.

 

Evelyn woke up in a strangers home, a small farm owned by a highlander couple, they told Evelyn that they found her amongst piles of ashes in the middle of the road and took her to their home in order to nurse her back to health.

 

After resting she set out on a journey to find a magic teacher and learn magic hoping that she could use those magics to help people that would fall victim to people like the merchant and mercenaries that ambushed her and her father.

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.))

Example: (delete this when you add your own)

"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…

reetings Applicant! As of now your application is currently:

7ahXQbs2iIw3HfIR6Q_Drbpb_-EvZ3w8pV23PeX1wLpfdnlol5vZd-0VIn8URpZm8zl3nUMjJalqXez6aiqVUjG0S0fwpBci_ye7uxGjIwgYtUmGqhLNYkXkjmtPNgf8OzXwDA-S

- Your definition for Metagaming needs greater expansion, as does your definition for Powergaming. Please refer to Wiki-Metagaming and Wiki-Powergaming whilst correcting this.

 

- Whilst your bio references a good amount of lore and structures a chronological timeline for your character, the last section is quite difficult to follow and feels a bit rushed and cliché. Fix your grammar and structure the last event with a slower pace.

 

You have 24 hours to correct the issues listed above.  Once you have done that, please contact me either over the forums or discord: (Gilded#1905), then I will take another look at your application.

 

For important information such as lore and definitions for metagaming and powergaming, I’d recommend using both the Wiki and forums. Please use these sources for reference when making changes to your application. I’d also recommend you join Lord of the Craft’s New Player Discord should you need any assistance from myself or other members of the Application Team.

 

You can also contact me on the server, /msg GildedDuke, or create an /atreq on the server for help from other Application Team members. If you have any further questions don’t be afraid to ask!
