    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Using outside sources of information not available to your character in order to make decisions about what to do next, or to aid conversation. e.g. calling the name of someone your character doesn't know, suddenly deciding to return home with a small army
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Powergaming is roleplaying in a way that forces the situation in the powergamer's favour, by saying that their character will certainly do something that can not be done easily, such that the target of the action has little opportunity for reaction. Examp
    Status: Accepted

Katarin is the lone daughter of a Heartlander Banker of Presa de Madera (her father) and a Highlander from the lands surrounding Santegia (her mother). She had quite a sheltered upbringing, learning the Common language and a decent standard of Santegian, taught the religion of Canonism from a young age (though it has little bearing on her life anymore) and taught traditional manners. At the age of 18 she selfishly left home with a small bag of coins, clothing and a flimsy golden dagger (claimed from a bank client as repayment, not designed to see combat) in search of another life after her father’s bank went through a rough patch. In the 5 years since, she has not returned home, instead roaming the lands of central Atlas, frequenting pubs and taverns in hope of something greater. Once her travels took her all the way to Gladewynn, where she came to envy the tall elves, infinitely older and wiser than she, tall and fair-haired. Within the last year she returned to central Atlas, occasionally serving as a mercenary to anyone with the cash for her service and a problem that could be solved with weapons. Although she has experience of small petty fights, she has not witnessed war or any true armed conflict. She is relatively naive to the wider world still. She hopes someday to form an army and fight for the good of the continent, not minding much under which banner, but she is still innocent of the horrors of war, and does not truly comprehend what this could be like.

 

(P.S, since there’s no ‘additional info’ section i’m going to put my opinion of the skin I’ve made for this character and how it might affect the chances of being accepted here)

okay, i redid the clothes on the skin from scratch, trying to include a little armour. It still looks very fancy, and the white is quite bright, but the design itself is a little more tolkien-y (if still quite bright)

if it’s still not in the style of the server or the palette doesn’t fit just tell me again


Character Name: Katarin
Character Race: Human
Character Gender: Female
Character Age: 23
Physical Description: Her height is 5 foot 6 or 167cm, with a small figure. She has thick brown hair down to her back, pale skin and dull blue eyes. Clothing varies.
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…

Oh dear.

 

Some of the form has been cut off (at least from my mobile), probably because I made parts of it very long and full of fluffy and pointless language.

 

I'll say what they were supposed to say here, but I understand if I need to rewrite them to be more concise.

The line that abruptly ends 'let loose a ' should end with laugh.

The metagaming and powergaming defs got cut too. Metagaming should end 'because another player tells you it's being raided' and powergaming would have had an example. If this is because I'm reading on mobile I'm sorry.

- Your skin format isn’t perfect. The colour scheme is presentable, but the clothing doesn’t realistically fit into the lore of LotC. If you require assistance in acquiring a good quality skin, please refer to the Skin Archive or the Tailors Guild.

 

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.
