NO OP CHARACTERS!
In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. Meta-gaming and Power gaming are looked down upon by a great number of the role playing community. The use of OOC knowledge for IC is called Meta gaming and is looked down on because Meta-gaming makes character interaction flawed, since there is no way that the character would know of Sir bob's betrayal back when he was a young squire when they never met. Power gaming is also not accept in most communities, as it places characters to be forced upon by others. This sometimes creates OP characters who think that they can do whatever they want and become power hungry. Thus, killing any chance for the other role players to have a fair and equal chance at things.

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):
Albel was born in a small cottage in the wilderness. His father a Human while his mother was an Elf, and before the child could even remember his parents were never there... Everyone in the nearest village gossiped of the lonely abandoned child and how he was unfit to be in their village. Though Albel fought to survive, alone with no one but himself.
After years in the abyss of lonelness a girl around his age with short brown hair spoke to him, her eyes as red as fire and her heart just as ablazed. Her name was Xial, she was always an energetic soul with many thoughts swarming in her head of adventure. She began to talk with the souless child and soon she broke through the cold and dead to the world outside exterior and found a friend. Albel finally had someone to live for besides himself. They would always hang out together even though Xial's parents dissaproved, they still found a way to see and contact each other. Though not all happy times last...
After Xial's 16's birthday she contracted a disease. She was bed ridden and unable to go outside and play with Albel. Albel wished to see Xial but was not able to because of her parents wanting Albel no where near their daughter. Though Albel never gave up and continued to try and see her when he could. After a year of fighting the disease Xial was getting to where the medicine was not working anymore and her condition worsened. Albel still wishing to help went and made his own medicine and was able to sneak in and give it to Xial one night. Happy to see her friend she gladly accept his help and he took his form of "medicine" with a smile and they remenised on the good time that they had together. after a while Xial got sleepy again as she had before since she was still sick Albel never thought anything about it and allowed her to rest and slowy she nodded off. Albel quietly left her and walked back home happy to have helped his only friend.
The next day Albel rushed to the town to see if his medicine worked, As he got to the outskirts he saw a group of people. As he became closer he could see the people were gathered around Xial's house and some were weaping and crying. As he finally reached the crowd he could see them taking a body out of the house, he saw the mother and father following the man carrying the body and he knew... He realised that the lifeless limp corpse in that man's arms was Xial. The people were speaking and he had begun to hear their voices, "She was already sick. Who would do this?" A woman said. "It may have been her parents." replied an older man snortfully, "They probably coun't take car of her anymore." As Albel watched as they took Xial's body away he wondered why the people talked they way they did. Did she not die of her disease? Was the medicine not good enough? Then from the back Albel heard the words which would haunt him for the rest of his life, "I can't believe she was poisoned..."
The words echoed in his mind as it tried so hard to wrap understanding around the fleeting words that were spoken. "Poisoned...?" Who would have poisoned Xial? He became wished he could be angry but something didn't seem right. He was still in shock. Then, his life would screatch to a halt when he snapped back to reality to hear 2 women and a man talking of how she was poisoned. "I hear is was from something the girl ate she was found with a type of berries and herbs found around here. I can't believe the child would eat that even though we all know that those were poisones." The words hit him like a blade, they sliced through him and broke him down. "D..id I-I-I kill Xial...?" Deep sorrow filled him with greif as he realised what the people were talking about. Xail had taken Albel's medicine even though it was poisones and even thanked him for it, knowing she'd die from eating it she was happy he made it for her, knowing that she still was happy it was him who was still her friend....
After Xial's death Albel left that village and went on his way, leaving the cottage that was even emptier than he had ever felt it. He left with nothing but the clothes on his back and the pain of what he had done to the only person he called friend. Now, Albel appears to be around 19-20 in physical age. His eyes, one red and one blue, are barely covers with his medium length snowy white hair. His body is of a smaller frame of the elven body at 6ft. His ears are long and jutted back and are mainly covered by his hair. His clothes are that of cloth with 2 metal plates on his shoulders as pauldrons, with a small plate on his chest, the rest is a leather and mesh. He wears fingerless gloves to grips his sword better and to be able to do meanial things like eat and interact with things. He taught himself the sword to protect himself and has steeled himself to this world. He now walks the lonely road that He has been on for a long time.... Hoping to start a new life somewhere else, and find some purpose to his life.
