completely of your own making, however your character cannot possess knowledge that is not learned in game.
In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are.
Metagaming is pretty much using information you obtain out of character while in character. An
example of this is knowing a player's name prior to learning this in character. Powergaming is

in RP. An example of this could be if your character is elderly and you have them sprinting
around the map or performing a task without rest.

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age,
appearance and personality, etc.):
John, born Johannes Fredericksson, was raised in a small cottage to the South of Winterfell with his parents Frederick and Helen. His upbringing was rather simple, growing up in a lumberjack household until the seige of Winterfell forced his father to its defense. The fall of the north also brought about the death of his father and forced his family out of their home as refugees. He has very little experience with combat and is better using a sword to cut grass and slaughter animals than to fight. Surprisingly for his rural background John is literate and spends time not spent outdoors reading for a better understanding of the world around him. Since the fall of the North sent his family into turmoil, he has as been wandering the forests of Oren surviving on what the forests provide and seeking refuge from conflict in their vastness.
-Age: 26
-Appearance: Fair-skinned northerner. He generally dresses in heavy clothes, having grown up in the north. His tool of choice is a good quality axe as he is most comfortable in the forest.
-Personality: John is generally quite quiet and enjoys having time alone to himself. He prefers to avoid conflict whenever possible, and if avoidance is unlikely he looks for the most peaceful solution.
Your characters ambitions:
He would like to establish himself as a lumberjack and possible carpenter in some small village or town to finally stop his travels and settle down. While he is a fine leader, he does not seek power, but accepts whatever responsibilities are given to him.
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?
While John truly wishes he could help the struggling elf, he has not trained with swords nor
bows and would be unable to help the elf without ensuring his own demise. Thus he avoids the
conflict backing away as quietly as he can and proceeds to a nearby village to warn travelers
of the presence of the bandits and the location to avoid.
Your character walks up to a shop in the middle of Al'Khazar. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer?
"Good day fine sir, would you happen to have a good quality iron axe in your wares?"
If the gentleman indeed has the item I would then proceed to haggle with him over the price. After settling on an agreeable price I proceed with the trade, thank him for the sale and be on my way.
