DronzTheWolf

Yet another post of legitimate criticisms. Thank you as well.

I'd like to thank you for your criticisms and your overall message. I've looked over it and you're correct, it is vague and unoffensive. I'll likely think of more and flesh it out as I have time to think about this, and update the post fittingly. Nervousness really got to me here and I got a bit sloppy. I'll flesh it out a bit and get more ideas.

BYOND Key: DronzTheWolf Character Names: Richard Evans (Formerly), Eric Karson, Drake Costle Species you are applying to play:Tajaran What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Blue-Grey/Dark Grey Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes, and I plan to continue reading it until I have it memorized well. 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've played Tajaran on another server, and I plan to make it on this one as well. They provide an interesting dynamic on the mix, and will give an interesting change in the gameplay for me. I hope, mostly, to provide more fun for others and help to change my RPing ability. But mostly, I want to get out of the human mindset and get into something else, putting an emphasis on the different wordings, forgetting words in Ceti Basic sometimes, and overall making a better quality character than most of my humans. It'd make an interesting dynamic for me. Tajaran come from a war-torn world with extreme weather conditions, a very flawed government, a flawed revolution, and next to no viable solutions for it's problems. From the Tajaran perspective, they live in a new government with more freedom and education, or fight for a just cause against a terribly corrupt government, and their solutions are absolute. The perspective will lead to an interesting change in how I deal with different situations on-station. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Tajara are different for a few reasons, their referring to themselves in third person and other linguistic oddities. They have different social classes that are socially and ethnically different. They are often seen working lower ranking jobs, but are also often seen in command positions. They have a sense of individuality and togetherness that most races lack, but they also have a deep socio-economic rift driving them apart. The dynamic within their own races, as well as the interactions with those outside their race are rich in opportunity. Character Name: Arenu Mala'Karan Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Born in a village at the southern tip of the Nraz'i mountain range, Arenu is a Zhan-Khazan Tajaran. His early life was one of working with smaller things, such as help around the house and the like. His family hadn't taken a side in the war, nor did he. Their village was under Republic control and they'd live a hard, simple life. He'd gone to the capital a few times, and the technology never ceased to amaze him at a younger age. Into adolescence, he'd began doing some harder jobs. Splitting firewood, mining, and he'd began going to the capital to take lessons in Tau Ceti basic. His family was having hard times, and he wanted to be able to help. Once he had an understanding of the language, he applied to work for NanoTrasen. Eventually, he secured a position on one the planet-side mines. The money was good, and he learned from the experience. His family appreciated the money. At the age of twenty, he applied for a work visa to go and work on a mining station off-planet. The money was better, his family could live comfortably. He was denied, and so he began applying for better training to become a better worker to apply again. At the age of twenty three, he applies for a work visa to be a miner at one of NanoTrasen's off-planet facilities. He is accepted, and is thrust from the planet to a new and different lifestyle he is trying to adjust to. What do you like about this character? He is struggling to further life for himself and his family. He has lived a life of struggle and keeps hope. He has avoided the war and fighting, and hopes to claim a life of peace. It is possible to sympathize with him, yet still alienate him as well. How would you rate your role-playing ability? 7/10 Not the best, but not bad either. Notes: The last time I played a Tajaran was on Prospector station, so I'll be a bit rusty.

Essentially a re-skinned cane with a bit changed.

I say 10/10

BYOND Key: DronzTheWolf Character name: Richard Evans Item name: Shilelagh Why is your character carrying said item to work? Well, he is tired of asking for weapon permits so he brought his walking stick.[/hr]Item function(s): It will function as a cane, and do the same things as a cane. Realistically, a shilelagh would be more damaging but the realism-gameplay exchange Item description: A wooden stick with a rounded ball at the top. Item appearance: None available, but I can provide a picture. How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? People will ask about his odd walking stick. Additional comments: To be smacked with a shilelagh is to be "Bollocked" so if you re-use the code of the cane, instead of being disciplined make it so the receiver is bollocked. I realize I spelled shilelagh wrong at 2 AM.

+1 for egg.

I like it. +1.

BYOND Key: DronzTheWolf Character name: Eric Karson Item name: Karson's Cap Why is your character carrying said item to work? It is an average Corperate Security cap, but it is one Karson always wears. He has come to wear it casually around as well as when on-duty. It has his name on the bottom of the brim to identify it as his as well as being shaped with his head from being worn often. It's his good luck charm, of sorts. Item function(s): To look good and add a bit of personality to his wardrobe, as well as be a nice design for the character. Item description: The hat belonging to mediocre Security Personnel Eric Karson. What is so special about this hat, you ask? Nothing, other than the fact that Karson has written his name on the underside of the brim and wears it all the time, to the point where it has shaped to his head. Item appearance: Corporate Security Cap

I'm down as long as I can use them, mate.
