Metagaming is the certain type of knowledge you're limited to. Like a time zone. In this case a sort of medieval time
Powergaming is putting your progress towards a spastic goal.

Written Test!


My character Arouraíos Degray are human. Aged of 24 years. Male. He was raised on a small secluded cottage in the woods in the first few years of his life by his parents Benevolence, and Elspeth Degray, or Mrs and Mr Degray. He was a unique baby. He had Heterochromia consisting of a brown and blue eye. The years he spent there were happy. Though not much of those times are remembered by him. After those couple of splendid years, an unfortunate event had occurred when Elspeth was caught by the mother practicing some gruesome rituals in the firewood shack by the well. Considering that the mother was very religious, it was more of a heart ache to see her husband practicing another that involved such violence. Around a week of Elspeth sleeping in the empty farm house on the hay bales, the parents decided to communicate. Since they both very much loved their child, they could equally decide on something. After some thought out thinking, they decided that they'd send their baby away. Their relationship was bound for destruction, and they couldn't bare seeing their baby boy go through that experience. Since their home was quite secluded, they entrusted the monthly grain delivery citizen to deliver their child to Annabelle's sisters' home as she was also along the delivery-man's route. When the time arose when the delivery-man made his trip to the Degray's household, he was told the situation and given the request. He accepted the chore, as he felt pity for the them.
Along the journey, the delivery-man had gotten a message from another passing man. Something urgent had occurred at his home, and he was needed. Learning this, the man decided to drop
the boy off at the closest stop so he would be able to get home as soon as possible. His closest stop was at Janshai house. Known to be a doctor. The man thought that since the woman was able to hold others' lives in her hands, that it would be a suited place for the young boy. As he would feel less guilt by going against the Degray's family orders. The baby was left on the doorstep to this very nice looking home. High roofs and fences. It looked very safe and comfy. Once the baby was dropped off, the man left to go care for his situation. No less than 10 minutes later, the woman, presumably to be the doctor emerged from the forest carrying a basket of all different kinds of shrubs and mushrooms you could think of. Immediately spotting the child, she took him in. He lived there without a name, as Janshai was quite cold, and thought of a name as somewhat of a metal. It was something earned not given. On the boys 4th birthday -which was decided on by the date he was found- he wanted nothing more than something to be called by. He wanted to feel special. So Janshai, feeling more kind than usual, decided to give this boy a name. She thought that Arouraíos was a suiting name as he was often found feeding the rats behind the garden, and all together bonding with them. Happy, the boy spent 12 more years living in what he thought of as Bliss. On the time
Arouraíos hit year 16, it was decided that he was strong enough both mentally and physically to be let off on his own adventure to seek for a better life. As this was what Janshai had done. He was given a fresh set of clothes. Layered clothes with bits of leather. He also received a knife and holder for his suited needs. That and a bag filled of food, he was off. He walked around 11 hours before he came across a home. It was pretty overgrown, but with different kinds of flowers making it look magical. Since it was dark, and he could hear the howls of a distant pack of wolves, he decided to seek for shelter. He saw that there was a dim light coming from one of the rooms, so he came to the door closest to that location. He knocked three times. The door then opened to reveal an old woman. She seemed rather down, or maybe tired. She had gray hair, pinned up with some locks of hair draping down to her shoulders as they would not hold. And as soon as the woman laid her eyes on Arouraíos, her face then lit up with life. She then lunged towards Arouraíos with open arms. Arouraíos being caught off guard by this, he leaped back positioning his arm so that he'd be able to grab his knife easily if needed. This caused the old women to stumble forward but catching herself. She quickly apologized and wanted to explain herself. She let Arouraíos into her home and sat him down. She offered him foods, some seeming more difficult to receive. Because of this Arouraíos politely declined. The woman seemed slightly displeased by this and sat down a next to him. She started to explain her previous actions, and who she was. That she was intact his mother, and she was able to recognize him because of his Heterochromia eyes. She couldn't help but mention that she was a little distraught as he didn't recognize here, but she understood as he was only a baby since last united. Arouraíos began to tell his mother about Janshai, and how lovely it is there. They kept talking for what seemed like hours, mentioning the blissful times, and also mentions to why he wasn't raised by his birth parents. It also turns out that the father had passed away a couple of years earlier, before the reunion. Benevolence, still recovering from the unfortunate event, seemed to feel a little better when seeing her son for the first time in years. Though since Benevolence could not support both herself, and Arouraíos, he would have to continue on his journey. So off he went, to find a better life, a better story.

Hello there. Before I am able to approve your application, there are a few things I would like you to revise.
  • Your definitions of metagaming and powergaming are not quite correct. The King's Law page expresses our definitions of the terms.
  • Starting characters with heterochromia are discouraged, as it is a very rare condition, and I would request that you remove this trait.
  • There are a number of grammatical errors within your written test. We do not require utterly pristine writing, but I also ask that you look back and clean your test further.
Reply to this thread once your edits have been made, and I will look into your application once more. Naturally, feel free to ask myself or another mentor any questions you may have. Thank you.
