Definitions
In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:

Role-playing: Roleplaying is the changing of a person to adapt or become another. When you role-play you abandon what you know and gain the knowledge of who you are becoming. Roleplaying can be used in many places excluding games, such as theater or acting in general. You change your behavior to fill a role. It could be from social to independent. When role-playing in Minecraft you are not your username but are the character you desire. For example pretend you are a cat you do not bark, that means you are not role-playing because your role is not to bark but to run from barking.
Meta-gaming: Meta gaming is when a player or a group of player uses a strategy to obtain a goal. This is also considered gaining knowledge about your character in life. This is saying that you are changing your character to how you would do to others. For example John walks down the street and he sees bullies and they bully him. He goes home and plays his role-play game. He sees a group of people dress in black waiting for him and he runs away. This is something in real life that helps John in the game. Thus equaling Meta gaming. You can also use the game’s mechanics to gain knowledge to help your player succeed in the game.
Power-emoting: Power gaming is basically to be over powered, to have no weaknesses and to have no flaws. This takes the fun out of playing games. Since you’re so over powered there is nothing for you to do and you have achieved everything. If you are not power gaming then you are faced with difficulties, problems, challenges. This adds concern to your character and adds a better experience for yourself and others. For example a person who is power gaming is that he or she walks around in full diamond having the best tools and maxed out levels. They see a monster and they destroy it. If you are not power gaming then you are faced with challenge when fighting the monster and for my character it would be hard killing it with a sword.

--

 

Your biography didn't seem to have a lot of effort put into it. Add a backstory of a fleshed out character that has official LOTC integrated within it. You can find information about places and races on the wiki.

 

You neglected to do any ORQ questions. Use the official format.

 

I liked your definitions, except for Meta-gaming. It was a little confusing and you might have out-done yourself.

 

You may reapply 24 hours after this post. You may PM me with any questions concerns!
