Roleplaying is the action of taking on the role of a made up character, within a fictional world.

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are.

Metagaming is when a character has a knowledge that he or she should not be aware of. This can include knowledge that a player has been exposed to out of character. An example of this would be your character knowing the name of an individual before it has been mentioned in game.

Powergaming is when a character performs actions which can be considered unfair or unrealistic. Such actions can include your character having a power which he/she should not have or deciding the fate of another character without giving them an opportunity to react.

In-Character:

Character Name:

Annabelle

What is your Race?:

Human

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):

Appearance: Annabelle is about 5’5”. She has long black hair and green eyes.

Age: 22

Personality: Annabelle is a very calm, laid back person. She can be a little hard to anger. She is accepting towards other races and tries to be friendly with people. She is not very tolerant of violence and will try to avoid it in most situations unless someone is in danger.

Biography: Annabelle has lived a relatively normal and peaceful life. When she was an infant, she was found abandoned by a young craftsman named Kallen. At that time she was only a little over a year old. Kallen had become a father figure to Annabelle. He raised her and educated her. When she had turned seven, Kallen began to teach her some craftwork so that she would be able to help out at the shop. Annabelle did not mind the work. She enjoyed being able to help Kallen.

When Annabelle was not doing work, she would quickly grow bored. On many occasions, Annabelle would sneak out of the house to go adventuring on her own. This had always resulted in Kallen scolding her, but Annabelle was too stubborn to listen to him. Seeing that his words had no effect on her, Kallen decided that he would teach her some swordsmanship. Although it was not much, it was just enough so that she would be able to defend herself at the very least.

Annabelle was rather naïve when she was young. She believed that she was invulnerable, that nothing bad could ever happen to her. Now that she is older, she acknowledges the hardships and suffering that exists within this world. Annabelle desires to learn more about the world around her and to help those who have become victims of the harsh side of life.

Your characters ambitions:

As of now, she seeks to start an independent life and find a home of her own.

Out in the Wilds, your character comes across a small cottage. Outside, there appears to be an elf struggling combat with two bandits. What does your character do?

Instead of rushing in to help the elf, Annabelle would first observe the situation so that she can get a better understanding of what is going on before she attempts to act. She might try to negotiate with the bandits even though that most likely would not work. She is not very skilled with her blade, but she would also try to fight them off if necessary. If the bandits turn out to be too overpowering, she will try to get herself and the elf out of harm’s way if possible.

Your character walks up to a shop in a quiet market. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer?

Annabelle smiles. “I am just looking around for now. I will let you know if I need anything, thank you.”

Denied.

The open reponse questions are the biggest issue, but I'm going to point out everything else I can find to make this application better.

If you insist on being an orphan you will need to write about your character's life before they were abandoned as well.

Your personality doesn't seem to be consistent. Your character seems to be the delicate pacifist, yet is later described as stubborn and sneaks out of the house for "adventure". You'll need to set out a personality you can really stick to.

Your first open response question is far too vague. There is no "would" when answering this question. You need to write exactly what is happening, including dialogue and details of any combat.

Your second open reponse question ends prematurely. I'd at least want to see your character hold a conversation or continue the scenario until your character leaves the shop.

Also, a surname would be useful.
