BYOND Key: Mr.Fagetti
Character Names: Tr'Akr, or Tracker
Species you are applying to play: Vaurca
What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Default grey, like the in-game picture.
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:
I feel that my character is well suited for this role, as he would work as a engineer or miner and battle the onslaught of racism that he would frequently deal with and suspicion he would be put under as his past would otherwise mention. I've written Tr'Akr as a more or less free-willed character and otherwise would like to see how people would react to seeing a rather unusual alien on their station. Taking into consideration that I've written a before-hand backstory and am still thinking of ways to branch this character to have more emotional and regular sight on the Exodus/Aurora station.
Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:
The Vaurca are a race of insectoid that work on the station, I feel that they would experience racism just the same as a Vox or Skrell and deal with the discrimination of being this race. The Vaurca are know for being part of two large hives and have a complex caste system to this day. I hope that Tr'Akr's hive (being the K'lax hive) and caste (which is rather undetermined as of his past) will play a role in his relationships with other personnel and that he will face the struggles of being a bugman in a apeman's galaxy.
Character Name: Tr'Akr
Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs
Tr'Akr was stolen during his egg-stage in development by a group of pirates working for a unknown Syndicate group. When he hatched he was raised and hired by the Syndicate group to do relatively unknown sabotage and kidnapping. During one of his operations, he was flanked and he and the group were taken and killed, except for Tr'Akr.
Nanotrasen representative realized that Tr'Akr was unnamed and uneducated, only knowing Gutter and what little Galactic Common he could chatter. Tr'Akr (which was later named Tracker by his educators) was taught basic language and his native language and was then hired on by Nanotrasen for his abilities in mechanical engineering and machine operation. Although Tr'Akr was young when he was caught, Nanotrasen still holds suspicions over him mixed with their natural racism.
What do you like about this character?
His backstory, and his charater are one of the things I like about Tr'Akr as he deals with his problems through a drab personality, he also works to maintain his past and actively trys to learn about Humans and their history.
How would you rate your role-playing ability?
I'd say I'm not exactly a master of roleplay, but I do love developing characters and I hope I can see another perspective for my roleplay.
Notes: I'd like to thank you for taking you time in reading all of this, I can't say I'm great at writing but I hope I met all your criteria!
