    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Metagaming is when you use outside sources to affect how you play, This is mostly in the form of information that my character wouldn't know and by doing this action I would be doing an OOC action rather than staying in the limits of the character that I
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Powergaming is act of forgetting the strengths and weaknesses of your character and forcing them to do something that they are incapable of doing.

Despicable, Unbreakable and Mild Mannered, words that would describe Elwin. There is nothing extraordinary about Elwin apart from the fact that he is completely shameless in his determination to survive, at times pretending to be deceased just to live another day to even leading victims to deceit just to survive another day, amounting his lifestyle to that of a rat.

 

Born to a lowly religious family Elwin never had the luxury of training or study to help himself, often saved and brought into trouble by his lack of shame. An act he had done was during The Gentlemen’s War of 1700, He’d often loot the corpses that’d laid on the ground so he could sell back valuables to grieving families deprived of their loved one’s life.

 

Having lived a life of deceit and anger, Elwin sought to change himself and practiced the faith of The Church of Canon. He’d wanted to become a Cleric to save his soul, but became disgusted at the hypocrite he had become. Full of bitterness and spite, he proclaimed himself a true holy man, devoid of all worldly wants and watched by idly as others succumb to their greed without aiding or helping them as he believed that it was their right to suffer.

 

After he’d reached the age of 22, he’d had enough of himself, faith and everyone and left leaving nothing of significant importance behind. Armed with a helmet to act as a disguise, and his rags to hide tools on him, he never lost heart and never looked back. He only marched in one direction, forward, with an unknown motive, it is often unknown if he is your friend or your foe.

Character Name: Elwin
Character Race: Human
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 25
Physical Description: Elwin has a medium build and wears rags and a helmet that he uses to conceal his identity, The helmet is of poor quality and his rags even worse.
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…

  • Please revise your definitions of Metagaming and Powergaming; you’re getting there but not quite spot on with the definitions.

  • Either change or revise how he survives all the time. Your character cannot be too overpowered; this includes invincibility. Is it just a fluke that he lived every time he went into danger, or is this something that needs to be taken out completely?

  • You need at least 2 references to lore in your character biography. Please take a look at our wiki to find some things to add. 

  • “Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll.” “I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow to the knee.” -Please change your skin, this is not Skyrim. (However, it is fine to still use an armored skin.)
