Even though I don't like people putting existing characters in command roles I think this time it's fitting and I happily updoot this app with a +1. I've played with you a lot of rounds together and I'm happy to see you with Armstrong again lately and I think you'll be a good command player. Your roleplay is very good and I enjoy it, most of the time, if not always. You'll do great.

And how exactly did they end up employed on the Aurora as a Head of Security with a pirate background? The story reads well but kind of cuts off in the end.

As I said on discord, if you're at it, maybe an EMT bag. For balancing reasons give it slots instead of space, for medical items only. I'd be fine with the EMT belt being removed for it.

As a dirty medical main (former some would say) I like them very much. I hope they, or an iteration of them, make it into the game.

You guys actually seek fights in a canon chill vacation beach party event? oof...that's really something. Still sad I missed it.

Robotics catched fire today. Twice. You were there @geeves :^)

I'd like to ask for more light switches, because I like to turn off the lights in areas that are unused, just like you would in real life. Next comes a list with areas I think could use a light switch: Mailing Office Kitchen Freezer Cloning Lab Medical Main Storage Command Conference Room Detective's Office Crime Scene Training Security Theoretical Training Evidence Storage Cyborgification Bay Mech Bay Library, maybe Surface Cargo Loading Bay Surface Shield Control The Research Shuttle Docking Area I hope this doesn't list any area that already has a switch, if so, feel free to call me a big dumbo.

whAT, me big confused now. I think I'll join the Discord.

Atmospheric Technicians are the designated firefighters. There are never any, so engineering does the firefighting. To your suggestion - doesn't make much sense. a), what Sleepy said, b) it's for firefighting purposes (hence the name, hue) so it should be where the...well, firefighters of the station are.

I haven't played Starbound in ages....sounds good. I'll swing by. Maybe, probably.

How so? Do you want to explain it?

Can we get a coat rack in Anomalous Materials? Also maybe one in the medical break room/smoking lounge.

What? Have you actually read the suggestion? I tell you - with this, the numbers of people being cloned will skyrocket (compared to now). What makes you think that this will lead to even less cloning?

Also I just noticed I can't attend the picnic due to me being on a real holiday. Me very, very sad.

Hell yes. The Halloween Ball and the Christmas event are always my personal highlights. Glad this gets extended.

I've read your application with interest since your story is creative, I think most would agree with that, however, some questions arise, when reading it but I'm sure you can answer them easily. Here we go: Why and more importantly how were their names completely wiped from the records? As nobles they surely were either well known for, well something, had possesions of notable worth, maybe even land, and thus power. What happened that they were basically forgotten by those that once knew them? So how ended up a random (seemingly) peasant Tajara, living in the streets, attending the most basic of schooling institutions, where you probably don't learn much except reading, writing and probably the history of Adhomai, in a NanoTrasen funded University, with an emphasis on Engineering? That reads as a very, very, far stretch. Even if he got a scholarship or something similar the questions still stand: How, through whom and why? So, what are his political views on the civil war? When President Hadii (bless his heart) was assasinated in 2451 Garilor was 24. How did he react? You wrote that he was made to believe that his father was a hero of the rebellion, but on what side was he supposedly on. The term "rebels" shouldn't be used loosely here, who's side did he support, if at all? The People's Republic of Adhomai or the Adhomai Liberation Army? Another question is how his view has changed after he found out about his father and his noble bloodline. What are his current views on the New Kingdom of Adhomai? Regarding the question above, you might want to direct me to this sentence you wrote: But then I ask you why. Why does he know nothing of his people? Does he not want to know? If so, why? Does he just not care? If so - how can he, when his youth and time at university was so heavily influenced about who he thought he was and who he is? I'll be looking forward to your replies.

I'd also say that the current posted ones look 100% fine. Not too brown not too flashy. Death to the corporation!

Byond key: KingOfThePing Discord key: Lanze#0792 Item name: Leather Journal Item description: An old, worn out journal made out of leather. It has a lot of loose pages stuck in it, it surely has seen better days. The front just says "Fraseq". Item appearance: It's a book. Imagine a journal, made out of leather, probably brown. Some of the lose pages that have been tucked between the pages can be seen partially hanging out of it's sides. It's a small item, i'd say. Why is your character bringing this item to work? It's Quorrdash's personal journal he writes about the things he finds during his work on the Aurora/Expeditions or any expedition he participates in while not on the Aurora. He writes down anything that might be relevent to an interesting find and any conclusions he has drawn so far. He uses these notes to write his research papers he then turns in and hopes they will be published. As a scientist it's always important to have pen and something to write on in reach at all times. One never knows, when you have an idea to write down or something unexpected during your experiments happens. How did your character obtain this item: Quorrdash is 58 years old so of course, he only has been practicing archeology for some years (big brained Skrell have a lotta years in school and uni, ok). One would think that writing on paper would be outdated in 2461, and they might be right, but Quorrdash got this very journal as a present from his mentor, a renowned scientist he worked under, back on his home planet Aliose, who teached him pretty much all he knows, regarding anomalies and archeology. The habit to write down notes and thoughts on paper was adopted by Fraseq, because his mentor did it. So, to put it short, the journal was a gift from someone he has very, very, very high opinion of, pretty much an idol to him. What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: Quorrdash is a very ambitious scientist. He takes his work very seriously and is always eager for the next breakthrough. Or any breakthrough, really, for now. He is a member of the Interstellar Archeologists Guild and regularly tries to hand in papers about his findings to publish them and get recognized back in Jargon (maybe some of you remember from my application, that he is a die-hard patriot), as a scientist who can be taken seriously, so he maybe finally gets awarded a real Nebula Cape for his discoveries. So, because of this, he studies even the smallest and most (at first sight) insignificant findings, writing all what he concludes, all theories he develops down in his journal. It's not only a habit he developed back during his times as a Lab Assistant, it's just practical, he has all his thoughts and notes in one place and can cross-reference other findings, if possible connections come up. Maybe not all notes are cohesive, some of them are also rambling about theories, desperately trying to find sense in something he excavated or found. So it can show how hard the life of a scientist can be, when your field of work is such a relatively niche thing, always hunting for that one big finding, the next connection, the next little piece for the big picture. The picture about those who were before us. Who were not from here, where they went and what they have become. Maybe. So, this Journal has become more like a codex, a piece of reference, Fraseq's work infused into an object - it's basically a summary of what he achieved in his work, his life, you can almost say. He hopes he can, someday, make sense of it all, getting the recognition he thinks he deserves with his (in his opinion) important work, maybe even get an institue or theory or discovery named after him. This journal means a lot to him. It might seem silly at first, it is just a book after all - but to him his work is so very important to him, the book is a reflection of that. Losing it would be a heavy, very, very heavy hit to him. He would do everything to never let that happen. How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? Mechanically the book doesn't have anything to it. Maybe it's possible so it can link to the google doc I use (see additional comments section) to describe the findings during his work (of course, only reasonable things will be added, mostly small things probably, no artifacts that are super crazy), as soon as I feel like I can show it to "the public". I'd probably get some fluff in it first, if it's possible at all. How it simulates RP, I think it's quite obvious. Fraseq can show what he found, both to his coworkers and to other crew in general, when he socializes at the bar, for example. He will also have it during experiments, writing things down, showing others old findings, experiments and how they link. It provides a lot of topics to talk about, even if they are probably all work related. Xenoarcheology/Anomalous Materials is a RP heavy job as it is, ths journal will put give it an extra layer and, most importantly, cohesive, over many rounds. Sprites: Done by Amory. Additional Comments: I heavily enjoy Xenoarch and recently started that google document I was talking about in the last paragraphs, it was something for myself, to keep track of what I found so far and what I found cool (I know there have been some people in the past that also did this and someone that is currently doing it). This document is pretty bare bones yet, but I will keep writing it, no matter if this gets accepted or not, but after thinking a bit about it I thought it's pretty cool and with some fluff and flavour it would be cool to share it with those interested. The name of the item is subject to change, I didn't want to do anything fancy, but I don't know if that generic name of "leather journal" is either a) taken by another item yet or b) too boring. I try to think of something better. Have mercy with my grammar, it's hella late.

The Legion can equip a blaster type sniper rifle, I think it's called a "bolt slinger". This should be a projectile from that weapon.

I agree, it sounds great and is probably the better approach.

Agree, duct tape is even ghetto-ier. Hell yeah, I'm in. While I partially agree that this could be abused I have to say: Most things can, if you want and there will always people that will do this. You can easily make spears and makeshift weapons with the tools in the public tool storage, too, if you want. Just an example. If people do this without reason just to powergame - then there are rules against that. I am not against tweaking this suggestion. You could also make it that the longer you wear such a rag as a bandage without getting proper gauze or medical treatment in general the infection rate gets higher over time. All food for tought.

Alright listen here, kids Rags as ghetto bandages. Tearing some clothing items (where it makes sense) into rags to use as ghetto bandages. Basic stuff, think about it. You won't die or bleed out from papercuts anymore. Isn't that great. Discuss, please. Credit for suggesting this goes to the kitchen waifu gang.

You put a lot of effort into this singer/entertainment thing, actively seeking out people, giving them radios (and very good coffee) and using the entertainment channel with this character. The first time I read all the lines of song you had ready for this character gimmick I was honestly baffled, you put a lot of effort in this and I think this request is very reasonable. We need more entertainers on board, more live acts and this is a very good idea to give it a nice touch. Really cool beans, nice name, nice sprite, I love it. Big +1
