Hi, thanks for applying and apologies for the delay. I just have some concerns for the application. Could you expand on role-playing an IPC? I think you sufficiently cover how IPCs are treated but the application could be expanded by discussing positronic brains, how IPCs learn, and more. Additionally, the backstory does a good job of explaining how the traumatic loss of Sable's partner affected their worldview but could you expand more on how living in Biesel affected them before hand? The application doesn't have an age, which is a loss as an IPC can behave very differently depending on how old they are simply because of how many things and facets of society they would have experienced, as opposed to simply relying on their base programming.

This application is accepted.

Hi, thanks for applying! I just have some concerns and questions for the application. Could you expand a bit more on how IPCs learn new things or adopt certain ideals? Additionally, could you give certain examples of how IPCs are treated by organics across human space? Is there any reason Kayra/Ceryn was given a full name as opposed to a designation? Sol in particular takes a more hardline approach to IPCs, viewing them as property and being one of the only places in our setting where IPCs have no chance to be given equal rights. Additionally, why did Ceryn change their name and why was this allowed? Additionally, why was Kayra reluctant to name her captors? How did she come to prioritize other people over herself? It's fine not to explain these things in-character, but it's important to be able to explain them OOCly. Is there any place in particular in the CRZ she was deployed? Why was she even ambushed and kidnapped? These details could help flesh out the character. Finally, does anything remain of her behavior after being wiped?

[Denied] IPC whitelist for Bots mk2
The Stryker replied to Bots's topic in Whitelist Applications Archives
Hello and thanks for applying. Unfortunately, we are denying your application due to a number of concerns. This section needs to discuss self-preservation more, and talk about how an IPC character can learn information and evolve beyond their programming and original purpose. It can also talk about their treatment in certain areas of the setting. GYURZA sees a lot of combat service but the application fails to discuss where they were built and where they were deployed, thus missing crucial details of why they were treated well even in a megacorporation notorious for its harsh treatment of IPCs. The character could be fleshed out more by talking about why it behaves the way it does - why is it obsessed with weaponry? Does it care about death? What sort of treatment does it receive from its human handlers? These are questions that need to be considered with a backstory. Overall, the character's military past is unfeasible for an application and we recommend starting over with a new, less conflict-focused character. -
[Accepted] Tex-Mex's IPC Application
The Stryker replied to Tex-Mex's topic in Whitelist Applications Archives
Hi, thanks for applying! Just some concerns for the application. Could you expand on this section a bit more? How would an IPC learn something such as social behavior? 11 years is a long time for a shell to be alive? How has their worldview shifted from when they were first built? Additionally, although the backstory provides sufficient detail as to the conditions of their life, how do Itzcoatl behave? What's its personality like? What brings this character to the Horizon? -
[Accepted] LforLouise's IPC Application
The Stryker replied to LforLouiseeee's topic in Whitelist Applications Archives
Hi, thanks for applying! You mentioned that IPCs never do things without a reason. Could you describe how an IPC might learn certain behaviors? How do they take things from certain cultures? Alright, there's a lot to unpack here. One thing I suppose is why would RS4-Chukar engage in an affair with his wife? Where did Chukar pick up the idea for romantic love? Why did Chukar engage despite knowing the consequences? How did the affair affect Chukar, both during and after it ended? In general, I would say that 9 years with the family has huge impacts on the character, and the way it ended was especially abrupt, so the effects should be discussed more. How does RS4-Chukar behave? What are their mannerisms like? Additionally, what is Chukar's current occupation? What does Chukar believe in? Is this belief informed by their production as an Elyran shell? -
Hi, thanks for applying! The ruling exists primarily because Konyanger culture and Konyanger IPCs prioritize integration of IPCs into society. Could you expand a bit more on this? How are IPC brains more logical than human brains? What are some examples of discrimination that IPCs face? What made Luo lean on an anti-corporate focus, especially in the highly hierarchical society of Konyang? What drove them to spotlight the Trinary Perfection in their content? How does Luo reconcile their anti-corporate past with getting a job with the SCC? How has this affected the content they create?

Could you describe how CH-3FFFF behaves in a number of scenarios, such as their day to day routine? How about interacting with other people? -
[Accepted] Jasorn - IPC Application
The Stryker replied to Jasorn's topic in Whitelist Applications Archives
Hi, thanks for applying! You mentioned that IPCs have different ways of communicating, or are inept at social cues. Can you provide some examples, especially in the case of your character? Could you expand a bit more on their time before they were sold? Their early surroundings could have informed their initial perceptions of life. -
The position of the Synth Team on this is that Hazels are products that are bought and sold. If you buy a car and give it a new paintjob, change out the engine, adds a spoiler, what have you, it isn't the same car components-wise, but that doesn't stop you from calling it a Toyota, etc. Copyright would only kick in if someone else were manufacturing these Hazels. It would be different if Hazel Electromotive were leasing out these shells, but the name of these IPCs is already out of the company's hands, especially when they're free.

Many different ways to go about this, the most important thing is that an IPC character can explain all their actions in a logical fashion. Others can disagree with me but a Hazel being in the corporate offices might work better. You could just have them working in a local Einstein-owned company since the KRC was formed by the nationalization of Einstein Engines assets after independence. As for character behavior, could you provide some concrete examples of how she behaves before and after the Crisis? It's important for the application to get a sense of how the character behaves and why they behave the way they do.

Hi, thanks for applying and apologies for the delay. Just some concerns for the app. Could you expand a bit more on this? You mention self-preservation but can you provide more nuance for that? Additionally, are there any differences to the way IPCs behave compared to humans, or at least the way they think? The detail is the backstory is excellent and incorporates the recent lore into it.
