    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: metagaming is using outside knowlede, I.E. Knowledge that your character would not possess, to give yourself an advantage. Example: attacking a player on site because someone messaged me on discord and told me that he's gone rouge.

John was born in the shopping district of Esgaroth, under a well off Merchant named Kinley who ran the General Store in the southern district. John helped his father run the store, and became decent at handling money, until one day, his Father’s success attracted the underbelly of the town. John was managing the store, when two large men came in and demanded to know where Kinley was. As John explained to them that his father was purchasing some more supplies, and that he would be back shortly, Kinley walked into the room, only for the two men to grab John’s father and drag him outside to the dock. John chased after the two men, only to see them slash Kinley’s throat and throw him into the river. John charged at the men, but they knocked him out and threw him into the water. he awakened to find himself floating adrift on his father’s corpse. John took up the blade that very day, taking jobs that required killing evil men, and helping people. As he fought villain after villain, his skill with his sword continued to grow. John has gained a small reputation for being competent, a feat that has earned him the name “Wacko”. John hopes to find the men responsible for killing his father, and the people who sent them.

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?”
