    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Metagaming is using information that you've obtained OOCly, ICly. An example being you and your friends set up a private discord server to share IC information, then you proceed to relay that IC information even though you didn't figure it out originally.
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Powergaming is preforming an action in roleplay which doesn't give the person the ability to react to what you're doing. An example being you use magic to rip someone's face right off without giving them a chance to react.

Ruvaen Ularo. An oceanographer, astronomer, and scholar. Ruvaen Ularo was born to a father, and a mother, both of whom studied the scientific pursuits. With his Father specializing in the science of medicine and healing, and his mother the science of forging and creating. His family was respectable and lived in a middle-upper class dwelling within the City of Lin'evaral. A priority was placed on his education and he excelled at his studies. As he grew his interests drifted away from arts and crafts, music, and other forms of what he would refer to as “meaningless drivel” and instead towards more enlightened pursuits, such as the study of the natural world. He turned his attention to the oceans and the skies, studying both the large body of water and the unending void of space in an attempt to understand them. 

 

As he aged throughout childhood, into his teenage years, he gravitated away from the social aspects of his childhood, instead, inherently dedicating himself to his preferred study, working with the regional experts he developed hypotheses, worked on theories, assisted on projects, and contributed to the overall understanding of the High Elf people. His passion for research grew only more fervently when his mentor informed him that he had a research project within the Center Atlas, offering Ruvaen the chance to participate, he of course emphatically accepted. They packed their bags and proceeded to the famed island.

 

One of the most prominent places on the Center Atlas is the City of Okarn’thilln, unbeknownst to him it was a place of wonder and study. As he proceeded into the walls of the Okarn'thilln he was surrounded by that truth and it hit him square in the face. He wanted to explore the city and learn all about it, unfortunately his work left him no time to do that. Him and the Professor who accompanied him proceeded with their study of the tides surrounding the Center Atlas and left the City of Okarn’thilln without understanding it’s mysteries. 

 

As soon as Ruvaen went back home, he felt a longing, a longing to return to the City of Okarn’thilln, to study what they studied, to understand what they understood, and so, after completing his research internship and being recognized as an adept and associate research professor of the ocean and space sciences, he set off on a journey to one day return to that city, with either the knowledge they share so freely within, or with a passion to learn all that he could. One way or another, he was going to make that city his home, but for now he has to gain experience lest they laugh him off the face of this plane. 

 

So he proceeds to a land known as Arcas and to a city known as Lareh’thilln, in part to continue his research through the use of their Eternal Library in addition to seeking entrance into their Eternal College, but also to explore various locations of the aforementioned lands, to build his breadth of knowledge and make a name for himself, so that when he does approach the City of Okarn’thilln, he is not shunned but rather welcomed in. 


Character Name: Ruvaen Ularo
Character Race: High Elf
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 63
Physical Description: A tall, high-elf male, with short blonde hair. His eyes are blue and his face wears an intrusive glare. He's scrawny and is draped in a tan robe.
Roleplay Scenario:

I’d look at the man with an inquisitive glare, knowing that his kind has a history of preforming acts which are unsavory to most of the Mali'aheral. Cautiously I’d engage him in conversation, saying the following

 

“My business here is my own, now unless you understand the intricacies of the tides, the secrets of the skies, or the way to Okarn’thilln I believe we are done talking.” No doubt this will get a reaction of stares, for I suspect the only motivation he has for speaking to me is greed or because he wants to swindle me out of my items. I don’t trust him, no sensible man comes to a random stranger and begins talking to them, asking them about their business, it doesn’t make sense.

 

After he replies to my previous comment I’ll attempt to end the conversation with a nod, and or a stare, and or something of the sort and then proceed on my way. I’m here for a purpose and a duty, not to be hassled for my wares and or swindled by humans in fanciful suits.

Changed Status to Under Review

on an unrelated note, stunning application

ZqR9OJr2pNSTRtIecYhn-caphQLp2L1j7o4cDMS_7BUs5FGA2mvOWPrcysDlL9TIA52Ig8Bs6W3ba3Vtftqd5jCsI3mOmHUqrdi0g7Dfh4PKjGMqibRTyXY4ukqNIHF-_jgAVJQy

Your application has been put on pending as there are changes needing to be made before you may be accepted, as follows:

 Your lore references were amazing, and that is exactly what we’re looking for when we ask for lore references. The only problems with your references are that they do not pertain to this map, being Arcas. Those are all old references to old lore, I highly suggest adding two more relevant pieces of lore.

If you do not make these changes within 24 hours, your application will be denied. When you are finished, please message me on Discord Epistile#4565 to let me know, or if you don’t have a Discord, send me a forum message, and please do ask if you have any questions. 

If you still need help, make sure to check the wiki, and I highly recommend joining the
LoTC Discord as well.
