Coalf

Long time ago, in interwebz far far away. BAROTRAUMA

Well, I don't have much to say towards this app. I would call it weak in the backstory department but it has everything that a backstory needs, motivation, reasons, personality. Now for the point I can judge you, role-play. You seem like a fine guy on that, you have your on and off moments but we all have our ups and downs don't we? One great instance I remember was Sap being held hostage and a scared hostage at that, actually pleading for your life and I must say it was enjoyable. But one thing, where the fuck does Zohjar work? He's a doctor according to your custom item, who worked at cargo and now works in xenobiology? I mean I saw you learn xenobiology as a lab assistant ICly for 6 rounds I'll give you that but don't you have to have special diplomas for that? I'd like that cleared up. Otherwise I don't know your history and frankly I don't care, people change and shutting you down because you did something a long time ago seems unfair to me.

Well durr hurr Coalf, good job you fucking idiot. I apologize for not being able to read. So no issue from me. +1

Seems like I shall be the first herald of the apocalypse. First the obvious things. So, by reading it I have summed up this, while this guy was 15 years old he became a hunter and got a breacher, now hold on a second, if I am not mistaken Breachers are pretty fucking rare and in a clan that had 450 heads in its prime? Not to mention they gave him a breacher to go hunt food, that is the equivalent of giving someone a tank to go deer hunting. (not including the electronic spear and laser gun (muh honor) ) Now by random conicidence he bumps into this Coalition guy and points his gun at him, at which point the coalition guy pulls out his glaive and for some reason Izkhezash, not only switches to his spear, I guess for honor but gets off of his Azkrazal which makes the animal pointless but hey if he wants his honor. Now at this point he stabs the warrior in the chest and renders him unconscious only for the warrior to be brought back and executed which renders that whole fight completely irrelevant. And suddenly we are somewhere else and Izkhezash has already passed and is in NanoTrasen. I mean, your whole backstory is a massive mess, it seems you wanted to make a cool rootin' tootin' bullet shootin' with no actual way to connect it together, we know nothing about your character, his motivations, history anything, we just know he got in a fight once and was from some clan, that is it. Now the ugly part, where I judge you as a player. You are all over the place man, sometimes you have great moments where role-playing with you can be a joy but those moments are overshadowed by the amount of times where you just acted goofy and annoying. And I get it, being goofy is fine, in moderation. But acting like a pirate five consecutive rounds stops being funny really fast. Honestly this needs work and a lot of work, we have plenty of good Unathi players who would love to give advice to someone like you, ask them.

I've met Mix both as an IPC and M1-X as a cyborg and both encounters were a joy. But It has been barely a week since Mix as an IPC came to be and already applying for a heads of staff? I honestly think you need a bit more time as both an IPC and as a medical doctor in order to be a CMO, being a CMO is not only about knowing the game but also being a people person and optimizing your department so they can be as effective as possible. But that is just my humble opinion.

Yep you pretty much confirmed my thoughts and with gusto too! No issues from me, an earned +1.

Well, I would object but you seem to have everything in there. Origin, intelligence level, feelings and emotions. Honestly I think IPCs are a little too humey (I am also guilty of that), mostly because of how hard it is to play an actual functioning robot. If you're capable of pulling this I'd love to see you around. Of course standard question, characters opinion on the Synth X Anti-synth agenda going on right now? Of course I think I know the answer but I would like to hear the final message from you.

M1-X as an IPC? Yes, I'd very much enjoy this. M1-X has been probably what I could call a staple of what a cyborg player should be, he doesn't stop and bicker about things, he doesn't shout obscenities over the radio and he doesn't yell out every five seconds to talk to someone. He is fast, effective, polite and I can say that every interaction with M1-X has been a good one. Although I will regret the loss of an actually useful borg. But A simple question, as we have the contest running on which side do you see M1-X? Pro-synth? Anti-synth? I am simply curious as I don't really see M1-X on either side.

Happy Hanukkah to you too buddeh.

I think Hunter plays character that are quite competent in their jobs and he knows his shit regarding xenobiology. A bit of a warning, every time Edgar becomes an Interim RD a massive stick is blue-spaced up his ass and it is an extremely jarring change when Edgar suddenly becomes this un-approchable, paperwork hungry creature of the night instead of his usual normal self, it's probably you trying to be as professional as you can be since you are trying to become an RD, but this massive personality change is just weird and I can't be the only one that notices, but hey what do I know, maybe it's on purpose, people tend to become assholes when they get promoted. Anyways no other issues and I wouldn't mind him to be a head. +1

Yes thank you for typing out this massive response in order to say "git gud" on a HRP server where you sneaked behind two antags who were trying to spark an interesting hostage situation which you promptly ruined by using, not injections no, auto-injectors, which don't even produce a warning message when used. Sec didn't get to roleplay shit, hostages didn't get to roleplay shit, antags didn't get to roleplay shit, all we got was *click* *click* and the entire situation was resolved, not a single /me. That is on par with an traitor coming to medbay, and using a parapen+c4 to down you and massdriver the brain without a single word because "He prefers when assassins display a little competence now and then" Antags are here to create interesting situations and make crew have fun, shutting them down like this is /vg/ or even hippie tier bullshit. I fully agree with Someone for once in the fact that you ruined an interesting situation just so you could feel robust.

I really am amazed at this Muncorn, I know what kind of characters you tend to backstory and this is, amazingly plain and boring. Don't take it as an insult, it's quite refreshing seeing a normal dude being a captain and not only that he's 52 instead of barely hitting the captaincy limit with his age. Also male? Since when do you play guys? Anyways now we get serious. I've played with you, I know you, but do I know you enough? So far every time I encountered you it's been in a normally low tier role such as librarian, plain old medical or a simple security officer and now you want to tackle the power a Captain can have. So I have to give you a question, do you want to be a Captain/head? I mean you made this app yes but have you considered all cons as well as pros? Being a captain can be extremely stressful and as someone who I haven't really seen in a command role this could really ruin your impression of the game, don't forget there are plenty of capable people but you have to deal with greytiding, in-fighting and bickering almost alone, the only people capable of providing help are going to be heads which are (depending on time and day) either taking over your job completely or never there. Plus you will mostly likely be a number one target for all antagonists and that can be frustrating when 7/10 times are spent being dead since somebody decided to bomb your office or the AI just fucked off with oxygen. So I urge you, please, please, think this stuff over, I have met plenty of people who got burned out on playing head roles simply from the fact they were too frustrated with the staff. But if you can answer all of these things positively, I think you would be a capable captain, although I'd keep a regulations tab open in your internet 24/7 from now on, expect a lot of lawyer work and paperwork. tl;dr +1 git gud scrub

I'd call you shit but people already did that instead I'm going to give you a proper robusting tip that works 90% of time and counters every single fucking OP thing, I mean everything, batons, knives, spears, breacher and oh yeah, EVERYTHING ELSE (except cats). This dude is robusting hot bitches and basically, you're fucking stupid Want to find out how? Just click here. every single weapon in the game completely countered, *cough* except emitter *cough*.

In an amazing display of retardation by me I set the pastebin to private instead of unlisted, it should be readable now. Pyro you just don't understand my point of view.

BYOND Key: Coalf Character Names:] R.U.R(IPC), Brother Eye (AI), Vol-xuqqix Zao'oqil (Skrell), Dane Huey(Human), Species you are applying to play: Tajaran What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Cinnamon (RGB 160, 82, 45) Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question Why do you wish to play this specific race: Simple, as a person of many tastes I have been around the block and have seen quite a few servers with Tajarans as a playable species, they never struck me as something I should be interested in, noble savages trying to get through space with all these meanie humans around ;(. But here they seem like something that could actually exist, their story is not of noble duty but a bunch of politicians doing what they do best, fucking up as such they have to reap what they've sown. Plus the general Russian aesthetic Tajarans have on this server draws me to them as I live in a post-communistic country and this PRA business is something I can easily relate to, censorship of books/words/individuals, shooting squads, secret police and the general fear of your neighbor ratting you out each day. To shorten it, this lore has drawn me to the Tajaran and I want to see how it is to play through the eyes of the species that gets blamed for every single problem on the station. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: First the speed. No seriously playing a Tajaran seems like a challenge I can tackle, I've never really played anyone who differs THAT much from a humans but Tajarans, well that's something completely different, a Red Menace(PRA) situation where Romanov's (Njarir) managed to survive and make their own state(NKA) up north? Yes please I love me some of that. Plus the fact that I'll have a chance to actually discuss the situation of Ahdomai and all the Tajaran that came from there ICly is something I am really looking forward to since they're really shy about openly speaking to humans or skrell about their own personal affiliations with the various groups. Character Name: Al-Afdal Mikheyev Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Short Version: Long version: http://pastebin.com/2KjaCkNN What do you like about this character? I like how his entire life has pretty much been a secret and a lie, he barely showed other who he really was and when he did life punished him for it, he understands people that lie and knows how much pain truth can bring but even after all that he is trying to improve, to be something more than a lie but an actually proud Njarir'Akhran someone who isn't afraid to show he is part of this, but even on Exodus he can be a bit paranoid. How would you rate your role-playing ability? 7 I guess? Can't judge myself others need to judge for me. Notes: Watch out the long version is long and full of grammatical and spacing mistakes if you find anything wrong with this app please tell me so I can improve or fix it. IMPORTANT NOTE: I have poured much more time into the Long story than the short story thus short story is of questionable quality.

I know Araskael and I know that if he gets a Tajaran whitelist the amount of capable Tajarans players will increase. Although I am a bit sad at the fact how boring this character is even if we can't all be our very own special snowflakes with five novels of backstory I wouldn't mind getting a bit more information, maybe names of his family/friends/relatives just to spice this up a little bit. BUT and a big BUT, I realize a lot of people like to take a character which is just a blank canvas and use IC interactions instead of backstory to flesh them out and I can fully understand that, so yeah I'm curious what Araskael does with this character IC and here's hoping he doesn't get bored of it too quick. +1 Also props for not being another focking M'sai sec Taj.

Yes, yes and yes. But only if Turning it off and on again is a viable option.

It's short but informative everything you need in an app for an IPC, Backstory, how they work for Nanotrasen and even their current condition the only downside is having another disgusting synth on the station. Jokes aside I know Muncorn and can safely say he's a roleplay both with mind and heart both in-game and in off game discussions although I am a bit curious about his synthetic roleplay since acting like an actual robot without any or very limited display of emotions is one of the hardest things to do and I'm a bit worried he might be bitting off more than he can chew. like me But you miss 100% of the chances you don't take. So a +1 from me.

BYOND Key: Coalf Character name: R.U.R Item name: Tagging Collar Why is your character carrying said item to work?: With the recent anti-synth/pro-synth(anti-synth pride galaxy wide) I've decided to take this character, a synth, to the pro-synth side, it printed flyers that it put up in work, often engaged in arguments about synthetics and freedom and proudly wore the Synthetic Movement Armband. But I decided to take this character on a wild ride, since it's a cyborg turned IPC, bought and freed it of course had no idea how taxes, money and such things work often buying groceries only because other people bought them of course it gave them out to animals and things at the end of the day, but this mismanagement of money leads to harsh lessons, such as debt. Eventually not being able to handle all of the debt after being fired from its job, the synth had to sell it's house (Which technically didn't even belong to it, it was only rented so even more legal problems came from that) after that the lack of money was even more apperant as the synth couldn't even afford basic upkeep eventually resulting in the synth being bought for a steal transferring the debt to the owner who happily paid it off. Now when a man acquires property, he needs to show off it's his and if that man is a very important man he would want everyone to see that it's HIS property, such is Jon Grelway owner of Deringer Industries, after all the synth WAS a very avid fan of the Synthetic Freedom Movement and such a mark of his power would also serve as a reminder as to what happens to people that stand in the way of a rolling boulder. In short R.U.R is property owned by Deringer Industries and as such was LENDED to NanoTrasen since technically it doesn't actually work for NanoTrasen but is simply borrowed, all of it's pay automatically goes to Deringer Industries and as such R.U.R isn't actually a co-worker but equipment a good example would be a Cyborg from Hephaestus, Cloning Equipment from Zhen-shu or a toaster from Space Walmart. Item function(s): Synthetics can wear it, humans and others shouldn't be able to wear it since it's also supposed to work as a tag, and since I want it to be a tag I also played with the idea of it killing the wearer when removed. I also planned it to occupy the mask slot since IPCs don't actually use the mask slot. Item description: "A steel tagging collar, a giant golden D is imprinted on the front." Item appearance: DMI files for an easier job. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fnpoh3z1qecordm/AAAqCJr804bsrr66S7Tz19a_a?dl=0 How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? The contest came at the exactly right time and even if R.U.R was never an antag I wasn't afraid to use the contest to promote pro-synth policies such as handing out flyers, helping out synthetics and even giving advice to augmented humans on where they should go if they want quick and easy fixes. This is why this idea appeals to me, a simple flavourtext just wouldn't do it, I admit, I don't need this I simply want this, it's vocal and eye hitting and something you wouldn't see in such a century on a human, I want this to be provocative and something R.U.R would try and hide from other co-workers, I honestly think it's something that would simply show how far things can go if you stand against something that you can't actually fight, Additional comments: Sorry I made this application so long but I felt like I needed to explain including something like this in the game.

I've played with Icy and this fits Greene perfectly since to me he's a big fucking spender and isn't afraid to go all out on things he doesn't even need. (Even if he probably won't shut up about it if he gets it.) But hey I might be a bit biased I made that thing and I would really like to see it in game. +1

I... You know I actually strangely like this, it's a new and daring way on an IPC something most of us wouldn't have the balls to do due to porn, but I can see you approached this issue as an adult and instead of making it the focus point of a character you made it just a jumpstart. I always rant on the backstory but I saw your note down there so I'll keep backstory rants to myself, for now. I met Seraphina(Wouldn't just Seraphin be better, it's a female name too.) and Ginger multiple times but never enough to have a serious discussion with them or get a feeling for what they play like. But after some consideration I'll give it a +1, I'm interested to see how you'll handle the robot with that kind of background.

DIRTY SYNTH LOVER But in all seriousness I support this app and fully, I often nag at the backstory being short but right here I can see that House is keeping this short on purpose and not because he lacks imagination or information. In that short text I have been given enough information to know what kind of IPC he plans to play and what I'm going to encounter in game, although the broken IPC is kind of a trope now, but I wouldn't mind a more emotional(I'm guilty of this too) IPC in game as most of them are just borgs with hands which can get tiring not only to the player of that character but to others around him. I interacted with him plenty of times and I know for a fact that House is a good roleplayer, although his fashion sense is shit fucking magboots and beret. But +1 to this guy, hoping to see more robots to abuse.

Alright you ask for notes I give notes. First off let me tell you that IPC's aren't really that rare don't quote me on this but Skull showed us logs and they're the second most played species right after humans, that says something. Second the backstory, it's short, very short, I mean I know they say two paragraphs but I expect two paragraphs of information, I don't know anything about the character from this. So I know the characters name, maker and job, but where is his motivation? Opinions on the world around him? Opinions or atleast a description of how he interacts with other people or his maker. Also people being cruel to him, how? Why? Is there something we should know about it? How does he react to it does he get mad/sad/neutral? Hate isn't just a single emotion you can hate others in a variety of ways (Trust me I know) I may be a bit biased since I interacted with you about five times with mostly short talks so I don't know what kind of roleplayer you are but from what I read this character might as-well be a borg and I wouldn't even notice. Third, you also say he's different from other IPCs, but in what way? I don't know anything about him since the backstory is so short. So far it's a -1 from me, but remember nothing started out perfect, work and work and work that's how things improve.

I know Abosh, great roleplayer,capable story teller and a good player too. Although some questions, I know this is a played out question but what about some of the Synths? How does he feel about them? Hatred, Love, Neutrality, I think giving us a few lines about that would give him a bit more depth since y'know the synthetic uprising was like the centerpiece of Skrell history. Otherwise no complaint or questions, also appreciate you made something else than a Scientist/Medical skrell. +1 from me

I think I should chip in with my two cents. If this is the round I think it is, it means that I was the AI(Brother Eye) and probably the main catalyst for this happening and so I would hate to see someone being punished for something that I might have caused. The round was Rev and I being the AI and having eyes all over the station saw multiple times that suspicious stuff was happening, I admit I was a bit frustrated about it but I couldn't really act out since it would be blatant powergaming, the revs were doing nothing illegal that I could have reported and all I could do was point the captain to some suspicious PDA messages. Well one thing led to another and after crashing for the fifth time I reconnect and discover that captain is being held hostage in bridge with Fenrir being the only one confronting Laurente. Now the thing I saw was Laurente pulling out a gun while Fenrir had a baton already at the ready, now of course being the overactive fuck I am immediately jumped to conclusions and thought that a fight was already happening, so trying to save the captain or atleast Fenrir I shut the lights to give Fenrir the necessary advantage to close the gap and after Laurente used her PDA lights I turned the main lights back on at which point Roderick's screenshot happened. Now I fully recognize this as my fault and my fault only if I hadn't shut the lights I believe Fenrir wouldn't have attacked and rushed since it was simply a reflex from me shutting the lights.
