    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: power gaming to me, is essentially just an attempt at "winning" a roleplay when really there is no winning or losing. rps should be on equal footing with fair and earned strengths, stats, knowledge, and power. I try to avoid it by making sure for every positive trait my character has, she has at least one more negative trait. Is she honest and loyal? well, she is also too blunt & lacks tact. Is she a strong mage? She is absolutely useless at hand-to-hand or martial melee. for me, I avoid it by trying my best to balance these things out.
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: metagaming is using out-of-character knowledge to influence your characters' actions in-game. like for example, if I had a friend who told me their character was going to ambush another group, if my character then went to warn the group ahead of time in-game, that would be metagaming.

    it really just sucks the joy out of roleplay for me, I just don't understand it. I try to avoid telling my friends plans i have for my character ooc to avoid accidental metagaming as much as possible!

    It is disruptive because that information was ill-gotten, and used in bad faith.

Character Name: Aska Elverhilin
Character Race: Elf
Character Gender: Female
Character Age: 21
Physical Description: 5'3, around 160 lbs, hair is auburn with blonde streaks strewn about due to her vitiligo. her eyes are seafoam green, & she has freckles all over.
Roleplay Scenario:

You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You 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?))




Aska eyed the hag warily. "Why should I? That's not exactly A proper hello, is it?" She looked her up and down before huffing. "I've been expecting you....Gods. Is that what you tell every poor sod who walks in here? Have you got A special trinket or bauble to sell me on? A prophecy? A mystery elixir?" She tapped her foot impatiently. "I haven't got time for this. I've somewhere to be, and ideally, with honest folk." Having said her piece, Aska gave her one last calculating glance, before turning on her heels and leaving the tent. She'd be A bit more careful entering strange tents the next time.
