    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: I love story building, and I understand that it needs to be balanced and can't revolve fully around one person. It also isn't fun to powergame. The best way to avoid it is to know your character, and make every decision as that character, and not as the perfect "heightened sences" version of that character. As an example, If you have to hold your breath underwater for some reason, Power gaming would be to say "I held my breath under water for 15 minutes while avoiding the fight going on on land." Instead, you should say "I held my breath underwater as long as I possibly could, but came up ghasping after a minute and a half to join the frey." This insures that you are being true to your characters capabilities
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Because you are reaching outside of the in-game reality, and it isn't fair to others. If you are given information about the game outside of the game, and then you use that to your advantage in the game, without your character naturally having learned that information, it is unfair to everyone. Say you are offline, and see a message on discord saying "Hey I heard your character was about to be betrayed, you should log in, and we can kill them first," The better option would be to ignore the message, and wait until your character finds out he is going to be betrayed. This makes it way more fair to you and everyone else, and often times it makes the game more fun for everyone else as well.

Character Name: Lance Brightlance
Character Race: Human
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 20
Physical Description: 5'11". Light brown-Olive skin. Bright green eyes. scraggly dark brown hair, with the start of a really terrible beard.
Roleplay Scenario:

Your character has just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As they look around, their gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. They duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? She begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”

((How do you respond?))


Hello there, dear woman! *His eyes nervously dart around in different directions* I have been travelling for days now trying to reach Numendil. I believe my cart driver may have missed his calling to be a court gester, because clearly I, Lance Brightlance don't belong here!  What with all the swords, and dirt, and... rats.  Anyway, it has been a pleasure, I would love to have a cup of water and be off now!  *Lance slowly turns around and starts to walk out the door*

 

Lance Grew up being given anything he needed.  He is 20 years old, and just now getting to explore the world by himself.  Or really, ""by himself"".  Lance has no clue that his loyal cart driver, Benjamin has been tasked with reporting everything he does back to his mother and father. Lance is very eager to get out and find a life of his own.  preferably in a place with the same comforts and convienences as at home.  He is an only child, and he is fascinated with the art of combat. Back at home, His family has an incredibly ornate sword that will soon be passed down to him by his father, Marcus Brightlance.  Sildash is the swords name, and Lance can't be more eager for the day he comes into his inheritence, but before that he has a duty. That duty is to learn about the world, and become his own man.
