Feel free to Google the answers or browse our forums, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not those of another website or person!
 
What is roleplaying?:  Roleplaying is the act of using yourself to represent a character within a story. It is also the act of puppeting an avatar of sorts to play a role within a storyline or alternative world setting. It is a form of interactive story telling. 
What is metagaming?: Metagaming is ICly using knowledge gained by OOC observations and information. The information gained is most detrimental to RP when utilized to get ahead and obtain unfair advantages over other characters. 
What is powergaming?: Powergaming is ignoring IC factors and limitiations to push one's own character and/or storyline towards the goals set in place. The actions are unrealistic for the setting/situation and are typically driven by a desire to "win".  Powergaming is similar to, but should not be confused with, Godmoding.

Biography:
A child of the Lur clan, Taga was born to this world to be a hunter. Like other cubs, she was trained in bow and spear from a young age. She was not a poor hunter, but was often chastised for being distracted and more focused on the land. Though she could be thought of as absent minded, she was a decent tracker and learned the land quickly. She was a source of more worry than her brothers and sisters as her hunts took longer than normal.
 

The truth was that Taga's hunts were quite short. It was her travels that took so long. Her leathery feet would slap against the sand as she jogged as far as her legs could take her. Many times she had debated crossing the waters into other lands to bring back more exotic game. She had enough hesitation within her to always turn back home. And each time she returned to her mother and aunts clucking their tongues at the slow and daft child. 
 

Stupid girl... that's what they all saw her as. The typical Orcish banter didn't rouse her, which caused many to suspect she was too dumb to understand. She would fight when engaged, but otherwise didn't fall into the conflict. But even the most patient of Orcs have a nerve that can be touched. 

 

Perhaps the most telling event of her youth would be when many realized their misconceptions of the young woman. She was observing a klomp in silence, perhaps more of a childish brawl. One of the young orcs scratched the eye of his more antagonizing opponent. Those loyal to the one who scratched saw this as an opportunity to take out their frustration on the annoying one and began attacking the other in rage. 

 

Taga stepped in, speaking of no honor in many beating a downed opponent. Not wanting to end their bloodlust....and hormonal rage.... they took Taga by the hair and turned their frustration to her. Even in the moment of uncontrolled barbarity, Taga remained silent and composed. In testament to how of hand the disagreement had gotten, a few of the elders headed to the fight to break it up, albeit slowly. Seeing her as weak, the attackers grew comfortable in their act, laughing and grunting.

 

 Calmly, almost slowly, she lifted her hands to the crook of one of the male orcs arms. She waited for him to throttle her again. When the moment came and his arm straightened, she pulled his elbow inwards with the strength of her body, snapping it. In more shock than pain, the orc paused. As a daughter with the blood of Lur, she moved swiftly to use the hesitation to her advantage and down her attacker. 

 

She was outnumbered and not the strongest, so it's possible the unharmed orcs would have severely beaten her. But by the time the sands of the desert settled around the disabled orc attacker, the elders had arrived to slap and thump the young ones for their disrespect and dishonorable actions. She never heard any particular praises nor curses after that, but she did notice how the word "dumb" never quite popped back up.

Personality Traits:  Taga is patient for an orc, displaying unshakable calm in frustrating situations. She also tends to be more empathetic than others. Because of this, she tends to be seen as reckless or careless when she tries to help others in unfavorable circumstances. She also has an odd sense of humor. It's common for her to do small, silly things she finds amusing but others see as a sign of stupidity. 

Ambitions: Travel. Taga has always itched with wanderlust. The idea of new smells, foods, and experiences entice her. She is eager to learn the land, taking in the opportunities each area presents. Each hunting trip she  always scouts a bit further, travels a bit longer, and runs a bit faster. 

Strengths/Talents: Instead of being exceptionally good at one or two tasks, Taga does decently in many. She can travel long distances without requiring many resources. This feat requires her to be able to hunt, forage, craft, and generally survive on her own. She isn't the best at those activities, but she can hold her own in them all. 

Weaknesses/Inabilities: While Taga has the general gruff exterior of an Orc, she can be a bleeding heart. It's not hard for her to make a poor decision in order to help others. 

Appearance: 6'5" of a medium orc build. Her physique is more athletic than buff. She has a dark, auburn-tinted color of hair. She is marked with various, insignificant scars she has accumulated over her life of hunting and gathering. Each hand is tough with callouses, as is each foot. Her ears are lined with golden rods that pierce through the cartilage.
