5. In your own words, how would you define metagaming and powergaming?
Powergaming: When you 'over power' a person in order to avoid a specific action to take place by ignoring roleplay consequences or outcomes. E.g. someone who can withstand an excess amount of pain in RP (unnatural and overpowered).
Metagaming: The knowledge of a particular in-game event or action, without hearing or knowing about it from the game itself. For example, if an event occurred in-game (e.g. someone stole from your house), and someone contacted you by means other than the server (e.g. through Discord), and this is how you learn about the event, you are metagaming.

No

8. Tell us about yourself!
Hey there. My name is Ali (IGN: Constipated_Crow) and I've been playing Minecraft for a few years now. I'm a fan of strategy and tactical games, such as the Total War franchise, Crusader Kings, Hearts of Iron, and tactical shooters such as Arma 3 and Rainbow Six Siege. I have been playing Flamenco guitar for th decade, and I enjoy creative writing in my spare time. I'm currently writing a short fiction novel and draw inspiration through fantasy roleplay. I'm also almost fanatically into fitness and nutrition.
9. Do you have any examples of your work?
I have a couple of chapters of my short novel online.
10. Did anyone refer you? If not, how did you find our server?

About Your Character!
Character Name:
Theodyl Kordel
Character Age:
29
Character Race:
Human Sangrian
Appearance:
Theodyl is a 5'10, stern looking man. Contrary to the common Northern Sangrian's sullen and sombre appearance, he has a more pleasant air about him. He stands at almost 6 feet tall with a head of dark rose-gold curls, and a complexion you’d need a magnifying glass to spot a flaw on. He has deep, glittering emeralds where his eyes should be, and does his best to maintain his often scruffy-looking beard. He is barrel-chested for his age, and displays dominance through proudly showcasing his many scars which are jotted along his torso, back, and arms.
Written Test!
Theodyl had never been well off in his early youth, yet he did not grow up in complete poverty either. Though many would consider themselves lucky to warm their bellies with hot food almost every day, Theo was more reluctant to count his household a blessing. His parents were farmers in the countryside; his mother quiet, timid and kind, and his father drunk, violent and cruel. Theo had always awaited wartime eagerly, so that his father may leave for soldiering duty, and leave him and his mother at peace. Sadly for Theo, his father always returned.
Following his mother's eventual death after many bedridden years, Theo left the farm in the dead of night - with only the clothes on his back, and his father's curses behind him. With no alluring tales of his "exotic youth", nor anecdotes to speak of around a fire, Theo made few friends, yet even fewer enemies during his first few years of freedom in Altera. Tired of his sedentary and mundane life however, he pledged not to enter his grave until he has seen every corner of the realm; wondrous and wretched alike.
Though Theo's childhood was filled with the unending monotony of gruelling farm work and little time to socialise with anyone save his mother, Theo has found that he finds the company of women particularly enticing. Counting his jestful and flirtatious nature alluring, Theo has found many a woman in his embrace, with his silver-tongue seemingly a work of miracles. To Theo's dismay however, it seemed that his silver-tongue was not without its adversities. Theo has found his witty quips, and keen japes to be a death-wish; flirting with death's scythe on many an occasion, seeming as though the men of Altera (playful Sangrians or otherwise) did not greet his carefree and casually arrogant attitude with the open arms he'd have expected... especially when caught with their lovers in his embrace...
Theo had never been particularly fond of the Gods of the Divine Law, believing them to be either inept, or fiction (though he has often kept this belief to himself). He takes a more pragmatic approach to life, though some would more readily call it a hedonistic one. Concerned with the well-being and enrichment of only himself, and those he holds dear to himself, he finds that treachery and manipulation come to him naturally, even though he would insist on calling it "adaptation to circumstances" and "positive persuasion".
