    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Powergaming (in my opinion) is a unrealistic style of playing where the individual acts as if they are above everyone else. By that, I mean that they often enforce certain situations or make the overall Roleplay less fun for other participats. Why it should be avoided is simple - it makes the fun dissapear.
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Metagaming is basically oversharing information you received out of Roleplay - for example while talking privately with a friend. Using such information in the actual roleplay will not only 'spoil' certain things for the character we play as, but it will also cause annoyance and irritation for others. It should be avoided simply to keep the Roleplay proper.

((Share your character’s backstory! Please ensure it’s at least six sentences, written in third person, and references to the server lore, including a current realm in our map.))

If you’re stuck on what to add, consider the following:
- Your character’s family (parents, siblings, etc.)
- Where your character is from (include a real place on the map)
- What kind of environment was your character raised in
- Why your character left home

Hikares is a young elf who spent most of her life on her own. Information about her family has too many gaps to create a full story - everything that is known, is the fact that she had an older brother (who she had a netural relationship with) and both parents were alive at the moment of leaving her original place of birth. That being said, she was observed to be a rather quiet individual with little to no hobbies or interest beside observing stars below the moonlight. Hikares is proven to be a pacifist, no situation has given a clear view as to whether or not she would resort to violence if absolutely needed. Based on her hesitance while handling fragile items and/or creatures, the answer would most likely be 'no'. As for now, she lives in wetlands and swamps, often changing her location depending on the season or needs. Due to being on her own, food became an issue nearly right away - that on the other hand explains her being underfed. Her diet consists of mushroom stews and wild berries or vegetables she'd find on her path, rarely getting to taste meat. Despite having poor fighting/hunting skills, Hikares appears to be swift in terrain, often climbing trees in search for birds' eggs or hiding to avoid being seen. It is hard to say whether or not her social skills would be any good - although based on her quiet personality, silence and simple nods would do it for her. She is a sympath by heart, often recognising good in bad. That alone brought her into much trouble with more agressive species. Originaly, Hikares was born in an area covered by mostly woods. She herself decided to migrate into a quieter area, often spotted in swamps. There was no specific reason for her to leave her home, it was mostly for her own good - probably the only time she chose herself over others. At the very moment Hikares occupies space in Nevaehlen where she appeared to feel the most comfortable due to a very nature-related area. If her personality had to be named in three simple words, it would be cautious, curious, introverted.

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.))

Hikares raised her chin at the sudden voice sounding from the back of the room. Her eyes darted towards the exit once, hesitation flashed behind her iris before she took a cautious step towards the chair.
"I-.. I'm not sure."

Her hands folded carefully over her lap as she took a seat on the chair, which creaked patheticaly in protest.
"How do you know me?"
The last question asked by the other woman was left ignored by Hikares as she instead focused on the first information given. For whatever reason, the older female knew her - just why? How? Suspicion laced her, the furrow of her brows gave away just how uncertain she felt.
