Hello! Outside of the previously mentioned thing we needed changed, the app is overall fairly solid so we'll be accepting it

Hello! Overall we fell your app is fairly solid, but do have some questions regarding Star's time in the spur: Have they formed any opinions on the Eternal religion or church? Do they have any opinions on other species or synthetics? Has anything happened to cause them to hold these opinions? What about the megacorps and the SCC as a whole? Is it intended that they were just assigned to the Horizon, or did they request to be sent there, and if the latter, why?

Hello! Overall we feel your app is fairly solid and don't have any significant questions, so we'll be accepting your app.

Sorry for the delay with this! App is overall fairly solid, so we'll be accepting it. Although please don't use the full name as your actual character's name lmao, little too long

I'd have no issues with either of these suggestions, once school starts to calm down a bit I can see how hard it would be to implement.

Answers sound good and NT should be fine, app accepted

Hello! Overall we feel your app is fairly solid, but got a major point and some questions to ask For starters, this isn't something that's really been thought about before, but, we've decided that Dionae from the wasteland cannot be in Idris as Unathi can't either, it doesn't really make sense they'd hire Unathi-like Dionae but not Unathi. For the questions: How do they feel about different species? Other Dionae? Humans? Unathi? How do they feel about the Hegemony's authoritarian nature versus other more democratic nations? Are they religious in any of the Unathi religions? Does this effect them at all?

I'm not entirely sure how to quote the video for this, but there are some flaws with this I noticed in testing. I tested Humans, Dionae, and G2s with the pulse rifle on DESTROY mode as well as the merc assault rifle (automatic/rifle/sts35) on single shot. The results (note, no clothes at all): Burn (Pulse rifle) Dionae: 5-6, dead/split G2s: 4-5 dead (usually 4) Humans: 4-5(usually 4), to paincrit, but getting up after. Usually takes six, sometimes 5, to ensure they don't come back up Ballistic (Merc rifle, single shots) Dionae: 7-8, split/dead G2s 11-14, dead (About 50-50 split) Humans: 7-9 paincrit, 10 always was them gone Note that none of this is taking into account shrapnel or rng hitting in different places, from just shooting and seeing what happens, I am not counting shots that straight-up missed though. After this, I tested with the merc armor only (helmet/chest) Ballistic (Merc rifle, single shots) Dionae: 13-14 shots G2: 20-23(more towards 20) Human: 17 to pain, 20 to not getting up Burn (Pulse rifle) Exact same results as without armor Because of this, I figured that pulse rifle goes through armor, so I went and tested laser fire (used the pulse rifle on lasershot). Without armor Dionae: 9-10 G2 7-8 Humans 7-9 paincrit, (11-12 to down for good) With Armor Dionae: 50-55 G2: 31-32 Human: 45 to paincrit, 55 to death (Note, i left one in paintcrit, it took nearly 8 minutes for them to stop getting up, so they were easily able to be recovered/healed up So with this data, G2s are universally taking more damage than Humans and Dionae when it comes to ballistics, with armor especially it seems to give them a nice boost. Dionae are more resilient to laser fire than G2, but are forced to split sooner than a human is done for the count. The only major excpeion to this was with merc armor where they did take noticeably more burn damage. Part of this is likely that, due to the amount of time it took for me to shoot off each laser fire individually and grab another gun, dionae likely had time to heal off a little bit of damage to give them a small 2-4 shot buffer as all in all getting enough shots to kill them took minutes, realistically this would never be enough for a Dionae to survive since more than likely they're being shot by multiple people at once, so the self-healing is never quick enough. Notably humans are taking nearly the same amount to go into pain crit where realistically they can be saved, about the same to get to the point where it's less likely/they can't get up at all. Conclusion with this: Dionae are more resilent than G2s to burns, but just about to the same amount humans are, and humans can recover, a Dionae who is split is likely to lose all but one or two nymphs (something that happens almost every time a dionae splits in combat on the server, each nymph has 10 health when they're split, a single bullet from any gun will kill them, if a nymph runs into a vent the rest will not follow in, only the leader nymph), and be unable to reform for quite some time, plus lorew-sie they shouldnt' be getting back into the fight, they're severally fucked up at this point and are essentially brain-damaged and have major memory loss, even if they split but keep their nymphs all alive they should be confused and not immediately trying to join back into the fight, forcefully splitting is traumatizing as hell, and a whitelist issue, something we have punished people for doing before. An IPC meanwhile can always get a new body without any long-term issues so long as there's a machinist, something that can take 10-20 minutes if people are dedicated to restore them. Overall, A dionae is tankier with lasers, less than a g2 with ballistics, and with the other factors mentioned above, worse off than a human no matter what.

It's already been mentioned a bit, but, there's two main issues i've seen: The rivets/screws on the tiles just does not look good, especially in rooms with a bunch of them. There could be instances where it looks fine, but, not room-wide. I think this is already being looked at, but some of the department colors definitely do not work with these new tiles, science, security, and medical especially are way too bright, the bright pink-blue doesn't look good with it. Some departments did benefit from this though from what i've seen, operations, the bridge, and service especially, engineering is fine but probably needs a different orange. Overall the darker floor sprites worked better and less straining on the eye, Outside of these issues, most of the sprites look good so far, the grass, linoleum, and reinforced tiles outside the ship especially. The kitchen and bar look great as well. The plating/grates look a little strange as it stands, but, this might improve with the new wall resprites. While in maint it might end up being fine, in places like the docks or where there's like a 10x10 number of plating tiles it tends not to look too great, they don't blend in well together. Outside of this everything else seems fine from what i've seen.

Hello, after discussing some things in your dms, we've decided we'll be accepting your app. As mentioned, if you got any questions or are unsure of something feel free to dm any member of the dionae team over discord

Talked in DMS, ban is lifted

This should be lifted, if not make another reply, I'll leave this open for a day or so just in case.

Hello! The answers to the questions sound good. After some discussion, we've decided we'll be accepting your application

Answers seem good, after some discussions with the applicant, app is accepted.

Hello! Apologies for the delay with looking over this. We're glad to see your interest in getting a whitelist for the species, but we had a few concerns with the application we'd like to bring up: The name for the character is a little, strange, and something we'd like to see changed to seem a little less silly for a Dionae, something more integrated into their origin if possible Regarding the backstory, we'd generally advise against initially applying for a Dionae that isn't from a Human or Dionae-centric place unless you also hold that species' whitelist. It can make initially applying for and playing with them incredibly difficult as you need to juggle the lore of two species that you may not be fully used to playing. In this backstory's case, we also noticed a few oddities and strange bits that may not really work under skrell lore, the relationship between the initial nymph, the family, and the child of the family isn't really how a skrell family would work, there are not many mentions of how the Federation has influenced them, or how the family would've tried to get the Dionae to act the way the federation would've wanted, an example being the fact that their mind type is Chaotic Cacophony, something the Federation would not really encourage as a mind type for a Dionae, especially one with 5.6 social credit score, the Federation implicitly encourages their Dionae to have more unified or democratic-leaning gestalts such as Competence Choir, Harmonious Hymn, or Emphatic Echo, they certainly wouldn't be encouraging them to as a Chaotic Cacophony to leave the Fed and look for work. The backstory itself also lacks a few points we'd generally like to see in a whitelist: What made them decide to work for the SCC and their specific megacorp, opinions on other species, their religion, and how their pacifism has affected them, the points outline here specifically: https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Dionae_Out-Of-Character#Major_points_to_consider_while_making_a_character: Ultimately we will be denying this application under the request of a complete rework of the backstory using the above points, you'll be free to reapply at any time, you can copypaste everything minus the backstory and name, for a rewritten backstory i'd suggest having them be either from a Dionae-centric or human-centric origin point, Biesel, the Eternal gardens, or the narrows as examples. If you have questions or need help with drafting something up our dms are always open, myself, GrandMasterChef, and Zer0Winds are the current members of the Dionae team and can help at any time so long as we're online.

The SCC Announces the Promotion of Dionae Command Staff As a follow-up to NanoTrasen and Hephaestus Industries jointly announcing their plans on loosening restrictions on certain positions to allow for Dionae to be promoted to higher positions within the companies, the companies have announced that effective immediately this policy will be going into effect, with the majority of planned potential candidates already being reached out to and given requisite training prior to this official announcement. Both companies have noted that while this will allow for Dionae to be in more managerial and administrative positions within the companies, restrictions are not being loosened on executive, internal investigations divisions, and high-level internal security positions. While the other members of the SCC have not announced plans to promote or loosen their own restrictions on higher positions for Dionae, the SCC as a whole has announced that some new positions will be opening up for Dionae on jointly-operated facilities effective immediately in tandem with previous announcements.

NanoTrasen and Hephaestus Industries Announce Joint Increases In Employment Opportunities for Dionae Today NanoTrasen and Hephaestus Industries have jointly announced their plans to remove certain restrictions on the positions that Dionae employees can hold within the companies, namely removing the restrictions previously set in place on certain managerial and administrative positions within the companies. Both companies have mentioned that this has been planned for some time, and training for potential promotions has been ongoing, although a specific date for which this will go into effect has yet to be announced. Whilst the exact reason for this loosening of restrictions has not been publicly stated, it’s generally believed to be a result of pressure from the Eternal Church located on Biesel, as well as several smaller activist organizations across Biesel and parts of the CoC. These groups have been arguing against the restrictions placed on Dionae employees for the mega corporations for many managerial positions, arguing against their discriminatory nature as they are one of the few species with these restrictions still in place. Information on how this will affect the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate as a whole is yet unknown, although a following announcement by the Conglomerate as a whole is expected to be coming in the following weeks.

The banning staffmember is no longer staff, so i'll be handling this. Given how long it's been the since the original ban, appeal accepted. I'll leave this open for a day or so in case there are any issues, if you're still banned while trying to log in either respond here or send me a discord dm at Yonnimer#7387

Answers are good, application accepted.

Hi, overall we feel your app is fairly solid, but do have a few questions regarding the backstory we'd like to ask: How do they feel about other species? How do they feel about the other branches of the eternal? Do they have any opinions on the SCC/NT?
