    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: To me, powergaming is when somebody tries to have their own character do generally overpowered or unfair which can ruin the experience of other players as it can include but isn't limited to 'killing' a character without permission or in blatant disregard for the roleplay or alternatively have every obstacle in a character's path be very easily overcome which can ruin the substance of a storyline
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Metagaming can ruin a roleplay as it can make plot much less engaging as there won't be any depth to the lore. For example if there is a hidden treasure chest (very vague example I'm sorry) that ties in to the future of a character or the storyline in general and the metagamer immediately finds it upon the information being given ooc then it completely ruins the whole experience.

Lorenka Scubbard was raised solely by an elderly woman within a little abandoned village in the woods. Thanks to her adoptive mother's accent, Lorenka speaks in a fairly steryotypical southern drawl. Given her adoptive mother was too old for most labour, in Lorenka's youth she began doing tasks such as farming, construction and occasionally tailoring. Given Lorenka and her mother lived alone, there was minimal opportunity for healthcare beyond basic herbology and with age, Lorenka's mother grew unwell by the time Lorenka turned 23, her mother passed away leaving Lorenka alone. As a result, Lorenka grew bored of the isolated life she'd been left with and went out to explore the world- as a result of not having any social life beyond her Mother, she comes across as overly enthusiastic and generally naive of the world.

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.))

Lorenka's mismatched eyes roam the small room, bouncing from unfamiliar object to unfamiliar object before finally stopping at the old hag, giving  a big smile as she sat down; ''Oh well I just thought I'd come n'visit! Not everyday 'ya pass through a town, am I right?'' She beams, her gaze once again roaming just about everywhere but the old hag. ''I just.. er- Wanna come by and see what everythin' is about, y'know?''
