The basic concept of role-play is to have your character grow and develop under your watchful eye as it interacts with other characters. A backstory for a new character typed up that says a character was the god Guthix in a past life simply to allow that character power is obviously frowned upon; however, gaining experience and power through role-play is what's advised, and it's also more challenging, fun, and worthwhile.

On the topic of over powering, well, I'd advise against it. Your character can develop power that's realistic to whatever extent, but it should be used fairly against/in unison with other role-players out of courtesy.

I hope that answered some things and more things, but if it didn't I'm sure another would like to give their opinion on the subject, too! :P
