The belief in higher powers or gods likely emerged as a way for early humans to explain and make sense of the world around them. It may have served as a coping mechanism for dealing with uncertainties, offering comfort and a sense of control over the unknown. Additionally, the development of complex societies and the need for social cohesion could have also contributed to the belief in higher powers to establish shared values and norms.

What is powerplaying?

Powerplaying is used when role-playing, and is when a character in the game suddenly gains unnatural power over himself or over other characters with no explanation to how this power was gained. A good example of this is when I was fighting another character in an online game, and I had the character cornered. The other character was suddenly dodging all my blows with no explanation how and had suddenly "awakened" her supernatural powers, more specifically ones the helped her get out of this specific situation. This character had never explained any history or present actions that would have led her to gain these supernatural powers. Basically, it's playing unfairly.
