BYOND Key: Sleepy Wolf Character Names: Species you are applying to play: Unathi What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Pale grey-green 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 want to play the traditionalist Izweski national that slowly begins to conform to human society, and hates it. This idea of a scouter-painter has been in my mind for a while, and I really want to actually draw Unathi lore-based ancient drawings, with their own stories in the game library. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Unathi recently went through the whole nuclear holocaust, have a loyalty and clan based society (like Imperial Japan), have Guwan that are clanless and criminals, are heavily traditionalist (but it feels like traditionalism is falling apart in Human and Ouerean society), and have Th'akh and Sk'ahk as religions, based on spirits and stuff. Synths are despised. Of course, they're not a hive-mind, so lots of these things can be a bit different. Character Name: Sk'ash Skung Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Sk'ash didn't care much about the war until it affected him. Living in a lake-side fishing town right outside of where the wasteland is now, he saw everything slowly wither, the women and men die, and the animals die out. The war came to his village, clansmen of the Izweski putting everyone to die for glory. Skung, young and ambitious, would easily go kill for his clan - but never did. As the militia formed from his home village, artillery came down. Everyone, not fully aware - looked for the infantry, only to die from the dishonourable commonwealth - or whoever they were! Sk'ash and his family continued to live in the village, artillery strikes attacking often, destroying the pastures of animals, bombing the lake's fishing tents, destroying any attempts to resist. Sk'ash, taking an energy pistol and riding a threshbeast out, scouted each and every day for where any nearby artillery were, and told the militia to attack. This went on for years, sandstorms beginning to pick up from the far off nukes, herds of escaping animals stampeding down little kids and elders, the village priest becoming sick in the final month of the war. Sk'ash tried his best to cheer everyone up, remembering the way things were and painting the good times on stretched canvas, with beautiful style - and all the colours he could pick from the berries he'd gather while scouting. This continued on, for years. Living in what used to be a beautiful area - bled dry by nuclear warfare. The town didn't grow any more, everyone began to leave. The lake dried up, and that's when the last of the Skung clan left, following the Town Clan-leader to the untouched lands, and eventually following the same clan-leader to Tau Ceti. Now, Skung, with no qualities to his name besides 'Scouting' and 'Painting', searches for a job while now living in an overpacked house of four different clan families. Maybe aboard this new station Nanotrasen is building? To crew a 70-crew station, they'll need someone like Skung. Someone, diverse, and creative. Lying on his job application a bit, he applies for a 'Maintenance Technician' job role. All he needs to do is screw a few bolts tighter, kick a computer, and get the job. What do you like about this character? Skung is an artist, and will almost always be out of his zone. Creative and innovative, he'll try and wriggle his way out of any problems and show off some drawings or raps to his friends. Most likely going to hang out with other Unathi, he'll try his best to remember what his life used to be like, and make his creations and stuff from that. How would you rate your role-playing ability? ask yourself for me Notes: NAME IS STUPID I WILL CHANGE IT SOME TIME SOON

We need more bound drones, but could you make the application for an Akaix please? I know you basically wrote them, but a few things are different with how Fowl is going, and we should make sure you know the lore and how to play an unbound well, since a bound is so easy to make an application for.

Please archive this, I've decided not to join the lore group, and Hurtz is taking my suggestions I'm giving very well.

BYOND Key: Sleepy Wolf Character name: Flaming Hearts Love Stars Item name: Stitched Heart White Poncho Why is your character carrying said item to work? Flaming Hearts is a light-hearted idealist, and has found many friends who they love so much. The poncho, made of flame resistant material, will be made for Flaming over the course of the time it takes this application to be accepted, and made by all of their friends. They'll ask every one of their friends for help in creating it, asking at least one piece of the white stitching in the poncho from each of them. It will help grow his friendships they always nurture. Item function(s): Suit-wear Item description: A white poncho stitched together shoddily, with a pink heart made of flame patterned on the front. The fabric is rough, like chainmail. Item appearance: How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? Flaming would always congratulate everyone for helping the poncho be made, and it would help grow relationships. Everyone is always happier around Flaming. Additional comments:

The 'Character names' at the top is supposed to be all your characters you currently have, not the one you're applying for. So, list off your current characters so people know who you play currently and can help find out if you're Good.

Ckey/BYOND Username: Sleepy Wolf Position Being Applied For (coder, mapper, spriter): Dionaea Lore Dev Past Experiences/Knowledge: I hosted a string of DND campaigns with their own stories for 3-6 people each week for a year and a half, and I always play and grow my Dionaea characters on station with different biological quirks and psych. Examples of Past Work: Most of my roleplay on the station. Preferred Mode of Communication (Skype, Steam, etc.): Discord, steam, the forums. Additional Comments: If I'm made lore dev, I'll clean up the Diona lore page (because it has a few redundancies and things that are not true), I'll move the discovery of Diona back to before the Skrell met the Humans by a few decades, and I'll add a further in depth biology of a gestalt and its parts. I'll also add a blood-diffusion update to the lore that will explain why a gestalt can know the language of a Unathi (after taking in three pints of blood) and then lose it the next round because of 'Blood diffusion', and the only permanent way to keep a language is with professionals teaching and feeding the gestalt over a longer time, or it being the first language learned besides Rootsong.

Is the personality just going to be a basic robotic personality, or will it have something to it? How does the bot react to hate messages, or even attacks, if at all? Was it around during the Sol occupation, and if so how did it survive? Will it make friends, or simply have face recognition software to greet people that it knows? Does the bot have ambitions, or goals, or does it simply do its job? Fuck?????

Lord has been a friend of mine for a while and every IC interaction is beautiful and funny, while also not breaking the feel of bugs/plants/robots/humans on a space station. I think lordie can play a toad person pretty well B)

I talked with a few other mods and we've agreed to lift it, but do be more careful, maybe log off of BYOND if you don't want to be banned for someone else's problem.

I'll accept the appeal if Muncorn agrees, they were the one that dealt with most of the issue I think, but had issues banning. Your brother shot a welding tank and killed two people.

There's a few key things that IPC's are going through right now in the lore though, and I think you need to go over how these things have effected your character, if at all. How has the Sol occupation effected your character, if they've even been activated at the time?

I like it, but how would T.B. react to being mistreated or put down by others? Also, would T.B. attach to other characters, any sort of hard-coded 'No Killing' or a lawset in him?

BYOND Key: Sleepy Wolf Character name: Ka'Akaix'Ghoz Zo'ra Item name: Prosthetic Vaurca Eyelids Why is your character carrying said item to work? All Ghoz did, day after day in his own false Reality, was work on drones. Maintaining and repairing, dismantling and commanding. His Virtual Reality was perfect. Non-stop work, excellent flow of input and results - If a drone came to his chamber to be repaired, he commanded the drones at his disposal to work seamlessly with each other, none interrupting the other. Then, the pod hissed. His neural socket unlatched from his Perfect World. He was ejected. Forced into this world where the blinding lights burn like Sedantis - Forced into the brightness and pain. His head ached all the time now, either from the violent screens on the walls, or the ignorant species that would shine their lights in his direction. These other species won't adapt to our Hives ways, so we have to adapt ourselves. He saw how these other species weren't reacting to the light as painfully - Flesh over their eyes, moving at will. Ingenuity and flexibility - That's what Akaix means. Item function(s): 'Open' and 'Close' the eyelids, like a welding mask or welding goggles. Item description: A small contraption of micro-actuators with a button on the side. Item appearance: http://imgur.com/vGEINMh Closed eyelids http://imgur.com/VLBZYLt Open eyelids The .dmi are down below for inventory sprite and head sprite. How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? Ghoz will probably gloat about how evolution is something someone has to work for, and claim this simple invention as an example. Additional comments: I only ever play Ghoz as a roboticist - Never as a visitor or anything, that's not what a Vaurca would do. They're always working - So, as a roboticist, I'd always have access to the multiple welding masks and such. Here's the .dmi for the handheld sprite! Hope it works. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B51LF-qUQGrPUk9kMnBZWndyY3c/view?usp=sharing - Inventory item https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B51LF-qUQGrPZjB6MlVoSW5Kd3c/view?usp=sharing - Head item sprite

Bygone's very nice to play with, and this beautiful story thing is so great! I hope you get to play as a fellow Vaurca B^)

I'm fine with xeno-IPC's being removed, but I think that at least adding the synth-flesh prosthetics back would improve so much. For some reason, they were removed when xeno-IPC's were removed, only leaving behind 'Human Synthflesh' in the robotics constructor. I'd definitely like the xeno synthflesh back.

Evildude helps spur roleplay forward, and I love him. let him beep.

Icy's a good friend, honestly. His charachters work, and have roleplay. 1+

I never like to actually give away my characters backstory fully, and I feel the trailer here is a basis around what you can expect. And, regarding the vents, I mean living right under the vent, right under a light. They'd found the perfect place, and stayed there until they finally decided to move on the situation.

Pyro's definitely a good roleplayer, and deserves this whitelist. I say let'em have it B)

BYOND Key: Sleepy Wolf Character Names: Pearl - Facet Minor 188, Follower - Facet Beta 209, Ka'Akaix'Zah Zo'ra, Ka'Viax'Vag K'lax, Ka'Viax'Zon Zo'ra, Viax'Zor, Viax'Zin, Viax'Zen, etc etc. Species you are applying to play: Dionaea What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): NA 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 They're asexual plant-like creatures that are curious, calm, and sometimes wise. They're a cluster and refer to themselves as 'We', are reliant on light, and are generally viewed as friendly to most. If I were to create a Diona, I wouldn't react to being called 'Tree' angrily, and all, which I've criticized a few times in other Diona players. Why do you wish to play this specific race: Their unique characteristics and uprising into the world, along with the multiple things you could spin off of their lore. A Diona that grew up attached to a clown's shuttle, watching from the windows into the views of laughing kids and balloon animals? A diona that somehow became trapped inside an asteroid and was saved by a miner? A diona that was eaten by a dog, and decided to name the experience 'Mammilian Animal Attacking Us'? Speaking on that, the naming system really speaks to me. Technically, their name could continuously grow into something larger, starting with 'Creation', and then flowing from that, changing its name to 'Creation, Fire, and Warmth,', after it's grown and taken to some humans home, laid in front of a fireplace? I don't know, it's all just /really/ cool. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Dionaea come in one form, nymphs. But - the nymphs can collectively form a larger, structured body - in any shape or form - with any amount of nymphs. They're mainly based off of plants, move slowly, and are often passive. Sensitivity to darkness, and their slower pace, are some things that might be hostile to them. Character Name: Living Beneath the Creation of Fake Lives Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs We lived in the tunnels and crevices beneath the station, watching from the vents. The heat of the radiators, the light of the luminescent bulbs. We saw everything. A human wearing metal plating over their face, creating fire, and structure, from a metal body. Over days, the structure became humanoid as the human worked tirelessly. The human, apparently nearing completion of his project, seemed to become excited as it moved a final piece into the statue, and then speaking to it. The human waited, continuing to speak to the structure, to no response. In anger, the human became furious, toppling over tables and screaming obscenities we could not understand. We all agreed we would help. We came out of the vents, collectively, forming a . The human seemed to be crying, not noticing us. We did not mind them, and moved over to the statue, finally taking a close inspection of it. We did not understand why the human was so mad, the statue seemed very alluring to the senses. We decided to speak. "It is beaut eee fulll," The human looked up from its distraught thought, its eyes red and its skin pale, very much like the statue it created. Years later, we take over the profession of our first friend. Roboticist. The statue - an android unit - still stands in the side of the lab on Biesel, completed in the eyes of Us. What do you like about this character? What I aim to have is an over-affectionate diona that seeks friendship, wisdom, and creation. They look for the good in everything, especially the incomplete or damaged. Perfection is something unknown to this gestalt, although it always seems to finish the jobs it's assigned - with minimal maintenance required afterwards. How would you rate your role-playing ability? 10/10, especially in antag-related incidents. Notes: i will give out bribes

Hey! So, I've already been through trial mod and was disallowed due to me not being their for the last few weeks. I got positive feedback on those, and I'd prefer you also include that in your assumptions! I've sort of been waiting for half a year for applications to be re-opened, and I'd really appreciate if you made me mod. I won't disappoint, I can definitely help people learn from mistakes, teach them how to not make the mistakes in the first place, and deal with a huge amount of adminhelps at one time. To quote my previous application, "Even though this is a vague and minor case, i do not want to undermine how important it is for staff, in under whatever kind of pressure, to remain positive and respectful." When I become a moderator, I promise I will keep a cool head at /all/ times, and ensure people know when their adminhelp is being worked on - and when it's done. These are definitely things I bug myself about when I send an adminhelp. I know most of the people in the server decently well, and I assure you I'll do my best.

If you're having issues with my character, it's not the same as OOC me. Nanako, when I shot that guy with the Ripley laser, I was an antag. Nikov, you were planning on crowbarring open a vented area when two others were in the same room as you - and the room we were in was /not/ vented. Jboy, that's something for an incident report. Lots of things happened IC'ly that round that I'd like to have as a secret for whatever upcoming IC thing gets brought up from that incident.

Lord's definitely got the skills to handle a Head of Staff whitelist, they're a good roleplayer with a huge variety of characters - that are all different. If they can do that, they've got the ability to handle and care for /other/ peoples characters like their own, and that's probably the best thing a head whitelisted person can do. Plus lord is /really/ fun.
