In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are.
Metagaming is the act of taking information that your character doesn't currently know and using that information to the character's advantage.
Powergaming is the act of doing something that isn't realistically possible for your character to do, usually in his or her character's favor. For example: A thief is caught stealing from a shop by a group of three guards. The guards then proceed to bound the thief's arms and legs together. Then, said thief uses his strength to break free of the bindings, headbutt one of the guards and quickly knock out the other guards with a kick and a punch. That scenario makes for one powergaming Thief.

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):
I grew up in a quiet, peaceful mountain home of Kal'Domhain. Here I lived with my father Decks, my brother Bazian and my uncle Gulik. We all lived under the banner of the Blackaxe Clan, it was so peaceful back then...
There was much building during that time. Stone towers and walls where built on the tops of the mountains. More and more of our family came to fill our halls as we where all once again united. Most of the day the men worked as me and my halfing friend Gila tended to the farms.
One day, when we where harvesting mushrooms from the deep caves, Gila spotted a mushroom, by itself on a single piece of dirt surrounded by lava. She went over to fetch it for me as it was my birthday tommarow. Upon reaching the edge, she jumped over to the lonely dirt island in a sea of lava. She picked up the mushroom and tucked it carefully behind her ear. But then, she realized, that she had made a horrible mistake! Fear overcame her as she was surrounded by lava. Gila froze with fear, sat down, and screamed for help. I ran towards her cries as fast as my little dwarven legs would take me. I saw her in a fetal position laying on the dirt island. I quickly jumped over to the island, threw her smaller halfing body on my shoulders, and jumped back over. She got up and turned to me saying, "Knurla, you are the bravest person I know. Here, take this mushroom. It too is brave, as it stands along against a sea of fears." I took the mushroom and placed it gently behind my ear. It has stayed with me ever since.
Years passed, and Kal'Domhain grows more empty at each passing day. Decks and Gulik have both left without a trace. Bazian has return to Kal'Urguan for a position in the government. Since we are in the far North, the Undead are constantly at our doors. Me and Gila decided that we would have to leave, but to where?
We eventually decided to head off to Kal'Urguan to meet up with Bazian. He would give us food and a place to stay. The journey was hard and rigorous. We stopped at a town called Winterfell as we continued on to the human city of Al'Kazhar. We passed the town of the Crimson Vale and crossed through a path with gigantic trees. We arrives at the south gates of Al'Kazhar, but something was off. It was about noon and the sky was darkening. Then, all of a sudden, the sky lit up with flashes of lighting. In the distance you can hear explotions, like cannonballs. We passed through the north city gates and everyone was in a panic. Guards where rushing up to the keep and shrieks of people yelling, "Undead! Undead!" where all around. Lava started pouring out of the keep like molasses. Gila dropped to her knees and started coughing uncontrollably. Then out of the blue, Bazian grabbed me by my arm and said, "Oi, what are you doin' 'ere sis? T'is isn't a place fer ya!" He picked the unconscious Gila, and took us both back to Kal'Urguan.
Over the next few days, Gila got worse and worse, coughing every day. Bazian told me that the Miasma from the undead was doing all of this. On the fourth day, Gila passed away. Her final words on her final hours where, "..that mushroom.. it doesn't look a day older than when I gave it to you. See Knurla I told you.. that mushroom is strong and brave.. just.. like.. you.. And then, nothing. She was gone, and I would always remember her.
More years passed as the Undead swept from city to city. Each falling to the terrible Miasma. Some heros got together in the elf city and went to the depths of the Nether. They must of did something, because the very same day, a terrible beast was released! It destroyed everything! I only got a glimpse of the terrible thing as Bazian forced me through the portal to the Verge. We quickly ran to get aboard the ships before they departed.
We sailed for days but nothing. It felt like eternity until we finally arrived to a new land! It was fresh and furtile, without corruption from the undead. Bazian took me to the new dwarven home and gave me a room in the Clan Hall for the Blackaxes.
I still have that mushroom. Tucked away safely behind my ear. Never will you be forgotten, Gila.
Your characters ambitions:
Knurla is an ambitious herder of various types of animals. While watching over her flock, she likes shooting her bow on various targets she has placed around the farm. Over time she become proficient in the art of Archery and now wields her bow as her primary weapon of choice.
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?
I would walk up to the bandits and help the elf fend them off. Then I would turn to the elf and ask if he is okay. Then I would bid good day and leave. Then continuing on my way, as if nothing ever happened.
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?
I would answer "Hello, I would like some bread, please." The shop owner answers "How much bread would you like?" My reply is "Four loaves of bread, please". The shop owner nod hands me my bread, and I would pay for it. "Thank you, come again" the shop owner replies. I smile and nod saying "I sure will." As I walk out the door I wave goodbye.
