BYOND Key: Diggey Mineson Character Names: Han Song, Keira Pfeifer, ZHP-E-2400, Ka'Akaix Theth K'lax, Ka'Viax Tlili K'lax (deceased) , Layana Oumarou-Bouba, Marlowe Phillips, X-Avier Species you are applying to play: Skrell , Axiori What color do you plan on making your first alien character: A dark brown/green (Seaweed) (around 1B2C00), splotchy Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes, and a couple extra, including food. 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 seen these goofy fuckers warble around the station for a long time now, usually less than any other race, only really see fun amounts of them as the odd funky Service worker or during events, but they seem exceedingly charming so I went digging. First I, playing as Keira, decided to learn about what they like, how they think, how they interact with people, the things they enjoy, how they interact with others and so on and so forth. Turns out they are really important so it hurts to see only the odd one or two around, especially during my Timezone, so I decided to put myself up to the task to fill that hole. Now of course comes the interesting part where I actually went into the lore, and I was quite smitten with the way that they handle interpersonal relationships and how they express themselves, and how much interpersonal relations mean to them and how even in hatred they consider it an exchange I find that quite striking and I wanted to actually actually play one. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Good heavens I don't think I'd be done with 10 paragraphs, but I will give some cliffnotes push your tongue against the top of the roof of your mouth and tense your forehead, this odd feeling in the back of your head? Yeah that's how a Skrell feels all the time, and now add in the fact that emotions will have a physiological effect on them. Humor burns, fear swells, you cry tar when you are feeling overworked, if you've been working for 3 hours your second skin itches and cracks and you need some effing water in your system. You have to wear a Tin Foil hat if you want to have a good night's sleep by yourself (and if you do you must be up to something!!). A preference for sweet and Sour food while beeing unable to chew with your hardened gums so most of the good cuisine is out and you prefer menthol flavoured potato mash. It ain't easy beeing Skrell. This is not even to mention the actual mechanical differences include such things as using Lube to slide around the station (no slipping), beeing able to psionically ping and message people, the reliance on water and the preference for having an AC around, dousing yourself in water, beeing highly squishy and beeing easy to hurt (ba dum tish), I guess mechanically for the ID card you also don't have a set but a chosen gender which of course you leave unanswered until you find a soulmate. (I could use the correct starlight terminology but you know what I mean when I say soulmate) and then you can just set it back to neutral at any given point because fuck it who cares. Character Name: Litt'Kaax Xonq-tup Please provide a short backstory for this character: Litt'Kaax was a Skrell born to 3 Qu'Poxii in a Quya on the Jupiter Moon of Europa, all three of them considered themselves to be infertile, a regular assumption to make, but when his parents realised what has happened it was too late to fly into Jargon space to officially integrate them into Jargon society, so they decided to keep their child in Sol. Growing up Litt'Kaax was raised by the submarine crew of the ship where they were born, taking swimming classes in the submarine's airlock and beeing mentored by the Ship's Engineer, their F'ex'Qa, with the other two Skrell of the union beeing the Ship's EVA expert and the last the ship's Head of Security, the human crew in this are also considered Litt'Kaax's mentors but to a lesser extent, due to their casual negligence compared to the rigorous schooling performed by Litt'Kaax's blood family. After reaching only 25 Years of Age Litt'Kaax was sponsored by his Submarine's Captain to be shipped off to the Sol Cognitus University to study Engineering where he, over the course of the following years, adopted a casually masculine aesthetic due to beeing raised in human space, there he took his Doctorate in Engine and Propulsion theory and a second doctorate in Engineering and the Applied Sciences. He finished his education at the Age of 55, incredibly old for a human but just in line with Skrellian standards for a basic education. In the following years he returned to work as a Propulsion specialist and Engineer on his "homeworld" of Europa where he had been assigned to many craft some of which were Idris Incorporated multiengine luxury cruise Submarines. After recent, and during current, Events Litt'Kaax quit his job working for Einstein Engines as a subcontractor for Idris and decided to pursue a career outside of Sol Alliance space as an Engineer in the Biesel Republic What do you like about this character? Well some of the personality aspects of the character do not quite shine through in the Background I have written up but I like him as a cynical and prideful individual, something that will come through in his social interactions with others, high stress, as all my characters are, with a highly neurotic and affected personality, with a perception of human interaction heavily biased by his parents but molded by his time in University, heavily opinionating himself on people, forming grudges or friendships quicker than I hope other skrell will and making active efforts towards putting himself in a social hierarchy. As for my own Roleplaying ability I usually play characters with livid and very active internal workings and driving forces which rarely ever shows well to those around observing them, which works well into playing a Skrell who notably have a harder time displaying their emotional states and intentions to those of other species but are deeply physiologically affected by them, something that I can pour out to my hearts content to other Skrell while keeping it on the downlow to non-Skrell. Something I hope will play very well into my usual playstyle. As for my Ability to Roleplay, some people love it to bits others hate it to bits, so I would say I am very polarising. I am a typo machine but my characters are well played and well acted and I think I can enrich the station with my RP Notes: Litt'Kaax is 63 at Begining of play and a Sol Alliance Citizen, during play he will desperately attempt to be granted Biesel Republic Citizenship and finally, after that, strive for a final Jargon Federation citizenship Name means Little dancer in Norwegian/Nral'Malic because his parents were delighted by their little tadpole Litt'Kax was named in honor of a family friend, a man of norwegian ancestry, their Ship's Doctor, who was the first to break them the news about their child, which, initially, was believed to be a parasitic infection, but later was acknowledged as something far more beautiful. The Submarine captain in question is actually the same as the captain of my other Characters, Marlowe, who finally lost his ship in a rogue Blood Kraken Attack. Litt'Kaax also has a Bachelors in Water and Waste Management, Atmospheric science, Nuclear Physics and an Associates Degree as a Nuclear Powerplant Technician , Nuclear power which is far more common on the Submarines of Europa than Phoron, considering the import costs. Due to the fact that Idris does not provide Engineering services Litt-Kaax applied for a Job with Hephaestus Industries one of the subcontractors of Idris (and a far better paying, and service providing, employer than Nanotrasen) where he has been assigned to the Nanotrasen owned Research Installation NSS Aurora as an Engineer and eventually to the SCCV Horizon as a Propulsion Engine technician I considered having him raised in Jargon Federation territory but enjoyed the idea of beeing a "fish out of Water" more

Reporting Personnel: Keira Pfeifer Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Service manager Game ID: round before cgJ-aqEk Personnel Involved: Anya Orlova, Chef , Offender - Isskssi Issana, Cook, Witness/Victim - Keira Pfeifer, Service Manager, Witness Secondary Witnesses: Nariah Sewell, Head of Security, Was approached about the Documents filed about the report and wether or not she had to acknowledge her own Misconduct if the complaint is not from a Head of Staff Time of Incident: 00:45 Real Time: 3:05 GMT+1 01.03.2022 Location of Incident: SCCV Horizon Kitchen/Hydroponics Nature of Incident: [X] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [X] - Destruction of Property [X] - Neglect of Duty [ ] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [X] - Misconduct Overview of the Incident: Unauthorized unprompted modification of the Horizon that resulted in the depressurisation of a Department and the endangerment of Crew at around 00:15 Anya Orlova had been unfrozen from Cryogenic storage, I was coincidentally just finishing up with cleaning up a biohazard in the Medbay and was as such returning from the Custodial closet. When I attempted to exit the Elevator the doors shut in front of me, someone else, Anya Orlova, had called the elevator up, we entered together, I attempted Smalltalk, Anya was dismissive. I set the Elevator to our Level, Level 2, and exited, Anya stood in the elevator looking at me, told me she hit the wrong button, then went to a different level, not the level she was assigned to. I had a call from the Warden, after doing the rounds I returned to the Bar and Lounge, manning it due to our lack of a Bartender to offer recreational options to the crew, I saw Anya going the same way as me, for no reason she dipped into the Public garden, clearly trying to avoid me, I decided not to press the issue in order to make the shift as amenable as possible for her. The other cook, Miss Issana, came ,from the Living quarters, to work in the Kitchen, while she was passing the bar I informed her firmly to contact me either through comms or my PDA or via fax to my office (an unclaimed Office I had decided to set up shop in) if there was anything that needed doing, any supplies required or anything else I could do for them in the kitchen. Some time later the Warden contacted me again about Reishi, not beeing a Hydroponocist, I decided to head into Botany in order to check the Botanical records on the plant, this is where I noticed that there have been significant changes to the Hydroponics, including the removal of barriers that would normally block the airflow between departments. This includes, I believe, an Automatic airlock. I saw Miss Issana standing there so I started reprimanding her about the Alterations and how I specifically notified her of my role on this ship, the ability to issue Guest Passes, grow plants myself, or authorize alterations to the workplace if I ,as the Manager, deem them reasonable, she seemed clearly unconfortable, like as if she was taking the blame for something she had not done. She did not correct me however. As I was filing the necessary paperwork to remedy this issue and Absolve Issana of any Crimes she may become implicit in, through the alteration of SCC property, a Meteor hit the bar, creating a hole in the kitchen, and in conclusion emptying the Botanical Department, within which was a Cow, unsupervised, which likely died as a result. My fears had come true immediatly. I made a copy of all necessary Documentation to Absolve the kitchen After beeing rescued from my office (which had also been depressurised) I handed Miss Orlova a copy of the documents, warning her that this had been her fault, as well as a Guest Pass to authorize access to the Botanical department, I then headed to my crew quarters to blow off some steam after my entire Department had been effectively destroyed by the actions of what I believe to be one person. I later learned that these documents have been discarded and my authority in issuing these was questioned. The guest Pass was also passed off to a different person, not the person it was issued to, which I also believe to be a crime. Which, you know- Submitted Evidence: Attached are copies of the unfinished unsigned Documents the originals of which have not been handed to their respective Departments for handling and filing. These were located in the Unassigned Office above the Horizon Chapel, manually labeled "Service Manager" with a Hand Labeler Would you like to be personally interviewed?: [X] - Yes [ ] - No Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: I chose not to submit the final document at the time of the incident as a Disciplinary measure, as a Mercy. I later learned that the Documentation was entirely neglected and the Guest Pass Issued to Miss Orlova was handed off to Miss Issana instead. Actions taken: I had informed the Victim and the Offender that all they had to do to gain access or Recources was to ask me, A thing I had explicitly informed the Victim about and attempted to inform the Offender about who purposefully attempted to avoid me, going so far as going into an elevator, and changing floors in an attempt to avoid contact. I had informed both over the Radio an additional time. After the damage had been done I attempted to file the necessary paperwork to retroactively absolve the offender of their crimes in an attempt to keep the Department operational without Security intervention. Additional Notes: This attempt has not only been ignored but actively been avoided, therefore making the crimes committed unabsolved and official. They did NOT have Access they did NOT have permission to enter the other Department they did NOT have permission to make the alterations, They did NOT use their Guest pass to circumvent this they did NOT talk to me to resolve the Incident report inside the Department and I am therefore forced to take this up the Line. Miss Orlova is trying her hardest to not comply with corporate procedure and to do as much damage to the Horizon as possible. It is not only the duty of the departments to leave things as they found it to guarantee a safe turnover to the next shift and an easy start to procedure for following colleagues, it is also their duty to not Depressurize unrelated departments in the pursuit of pursuing their vague job description over actually doing their actual job and serving the Crew like she was supposed to.

I am excited for a suit, and I have seen Zoey and Anastasia personally what is most important is of course their OOC and LOOC etiquette. They seem to be very kind as a player and I have faith in their ability to approach more mechanically and Roleplay heavy sectors. I would like to see them cut their teeth on this.

This person manages to play someone who is in command perfectly, as in, he does his job, he cares about the job, and you hate him. But in the best possible way. Like, It is fun to be forced to do your job and he will help you every step of the way. And in the end you realise he isn't actually an asshole, that he cares. This is REALLY hard to roleplay out. As in. This is one of the few few few once in a decade kinda person. They deserve a Head of Staff role, also they are on during times where a Head of Staff is dearly needed.

Absolutely flawless RP, always cordial OOC, not seen them do anything questionable, always fun. +1

we already got ladders (usually in places that get locked off by the everencroaching wave of yellow doors with red blinking lights) and now I am here to lobby for stairs Yes,I know it's already something the Devs are problably working on,it is exceptionally hard to find those things because I'm an idiot,but making this a "hey I haven't thought about this in a while" thing seems like a prudent idea When the elevators stop working for one of a million reasons I think a little staircase would be prudent,there is afterall a reason we started implementing these in buildings after the first few hundred people died in fires These would and should be located next to elevators and maybe close to the departments in case of emergencies (in case of service it should be a staircase in the back of the bar) Many a time I was hammering an elevator button or couldn't get the elevator to raise because some chucklefuck emagged one elevator door

I recall a scenario where I was stuck in a room with Conspiir waiting for death I don't even have to go further into detail as to why I'm giving this application a +1 flawless roleplayer

When you pick the mandible garment in your custom loadout you spawn with one,but not on your face,in your backpack. You have to quickly switch it out and toggle it on before your character breathes in or you suffer from toxins,this means your body aching all over,of course that goes well with the general feel of Vaurca,but please no I don't want to have to go to medbay every round to ask for antitoxins and roleplay beeing in pain for...what reason exactly? My Vaurca got on the shuttle transfered and din't put on his mask,then he got to his department tried to quickly change masks but was too stupid to hold his breath? Yeah,this sucks roleplay wise a lot Please,if we have Mandible Garments equipped,autoequip them on us like you autoequip vests and pants and watches and everything else I don't want to rp an idiot who can't hold their breath

I would love stuff like this happening more aboard the station,compulsive characters having to go to a psychiatrist I certainly know a few,one of mine included,who could use that :'D

obviously meaning bound and unbound workers as bound warriors are not allowed to work for Nanotrasen and only intern level jobs are allowed for unbound so employing a warrior Vaurca Cadet is just weird,it can happen,but it's such a minority that it isn't worth mentioning at least that's my impression This is my personaly headcanon,now it might be this was formed due to me possibly having had access to a pre rework wikipage so take everything I say with a grain of salt, The Virtual is less of a place and more of a thing,in old-new lore there were Vaurca bread specifically so their brains could be cultivated as storage space for the virtual,inside the virtual you don't walk around,it's more of an internet type place,where you can talk with anyone at any time and exchange knowledge in an instant,you could "look at" (more like interact with) another unbound and would instantly know their life story as it is integrated into your conciousness,it's pretty rad yo Yeah,internet is a good descriptor of my perception of the virtual,where your conciousness is just a buncha 1s and 0s only that it's not binary and the Vaurca used to be highly sophisticated in their technology before the degradation and collapse of their technology aboard the hiveships leaving them technologically crippled I'm pretty sure there is "space" in the Virtual to "walk around" but the Vaurca don't seem like something so pointless is in their interest,they flourish in fullfillment,doing stuff...not sitting in a meadow stuffing themselves on virtual k'ois,they read,they think up stuff,they share in the Hive which is why descending is so jarring,they can't just instantly do things,making a mistake is painful,you have to do things you didn't want to do before,it's all so forceful and unpleasant You need only one Vaurca to command a few thousand Bound to be honest,and administrators have their role in the hive hierarchy,descending in this case is an honorable choice as it cuts your lifespan shorter to further the hive and shit Again,salt grains,mad ramblings,correct me please

Still lobbying for that

I have never seen a traitor go loud McShootybang not once have I seen someone pull a pistol on me this might be because I work in the service sector,but if somone pulled a gun on me I'd problably try to get that info out to the station,and then that antagonist has to play the next 2 hours as locker-hide simulator going loud is just never interesting Especially because it isn't really an option,you just said so,you can't fight off security,I'm not talking kill everyone,Security will never retreat,will always chase you,will tell the AI to bolt you in while they vent the air and replace it with superheated phoron or something... like Why would you buy a revolver if not to inevitably fail? Does this sound like a fun time for...anyone?

Well,the Aurora however is a state of the art kinda really important station it would have the merit to merit a state of the art cloning device,I do however still support the necessity for more elaborate cloning,player death should be an extreme,not something you can handwave and cloning technology is basically beeing pushed by one developer with little competition (as far as I remember) maybe allow cloning like we have it currently for special cases like people who died mere minutes ago and the more extreme means are for more extreme cases like someone who has been dead for 30 minutes in mining or died of acute poisoning or somesuch? With the rework of the genetecist job coming back this could be an aspect of that If cloning is so darn elaborate make it a speciality job seriously xD

So far I've never been fucked over by a legitimate traitor and been salty about it,I don't think this is a bad suggestion,more Telecrystals means more rp ability for traitors and operatives alike if you have to choose between A or B for a gimmick instead of beeing able to do both in case one of them is locked by unforseen consequences you can still enrich the round with your presence by having options soooo Basically what I'm saying here is a well funded antagonist is exciting for all parties involved

This is great,well it is better than before,which was good enough It woouuld help if you identify what you are problably going to like about the character such as,par example, his difficult past and how his desperate survival shaped him or something like that I 'unno

on the topic of disarming,is it just me or is there a 100% chance of knocking the person down you are trying to disarm? You run at a guy with a knife (or heck even a basketball) and just fucking sumo them into the ground

Well most of the time when it's an issue you are not medical staff or your character has no medical knowledge so they don't know they are blatantly beeing mistreated Update,just went into medbay with a mild poisoning,was injected like 6 times and suddenly died then instantly cloned which is nice in theory if it weren't for the fact I'm Vaurca so I was soon suffocating so it's 9/11 times now was stuffed in a cryo tube,all is well,then pulled out without a phoron tank,suffocating again,put in again after voicing I needed a phoron tank and pulled out again with still no one handing me a phoron tank where I almost died,and had to manually climb back in or else I'd have died so yeah,even after knowing what to get they pull me out of cryo to suffocate Yeah that's good If you are Vaurca you might as well play Pain RP because if you actually go to get fixed you are playing Cryotube RP Again I don't blame the individual player if it's literally every round with all kinds of players it's the curse of medical

I'm not one to whine and bitch or even file incident reports but I've been in medical 10 times in recent memory where I was mistreated 8 of those times This needs to stop Seriously "just clone them" is not an addage you should follow if you decide to click "medical doctor" as your "High" priority job Got it? just this round I was a Vaurca and they just instantly cloned me,they didn't bother to take out my transplants and reimplant them into my clone,they didn't bother to hand me a phoron tank,the janitor bot pulled me out of the cloning tube and then I suffocated for 5 minutes and died in great pain from suffocation and poisoning the other Vaurca was told to be cloned and then stuffed in the morgue and forgotten This is not proper conduct,neither was it the last 5 rounds I played If you get a proper Treatment it shouldn't be an amazing experience it should be the norm

I'll try

Take care!

y'all are actively shooting this idea in the foot by not taking the murderous potential as serious as Nanotrasen should if you keep memeing it the mods will think it's not a serious suggestion Space Lube needs a serious update for serious folk

No idea

if you write "or some shit" in your unban appeal that is problably going to attract ire,quick,rephrase it before a moderator finds you

This application has had so much work put into it and you can see it is out of respect and understanding,at least I see it as that,and with this level of dedication I do not think this application is not worthwhile +1

I now want your personal spear to have a mop attachment on the other side,don't blame me. Jokes aside I think this story sounds relatively unique and the potential for good roleplay and even good antagging is out of the question,personalitywise and from what I've seen on station you are a competent roleplayer so I give a +1
