I tried but alas it didn't do much. I'm going to remove the sounds today.

Good man who does roleplay the big good. I've had lots of good interactions with his characters and not a single bad one. I'm sure he's good for the whitelist. +1

Looks real good man. Fuck biker helmet hardsuit I hate it +1

It was before the PRA was driven out, yeah. The 'few years' was hinting towards that, but I fucked up by not including the actual date he left. Which would be about 2458, so after the attack on the Parliament.

Thank you for the response. 1) I didn't know that, actually, and it's a good point. I've changed the religion to S'rendarr and Messa. 2) The motivations for leaving are mainly that their bloodline will be destroyed if they remain on Adhomai, so at least someone should leave and escape. He already knows his parents don't approve of it, but he sees it as necessary. As the conflict is going on, it doesn't seem like the NKA is getting anywhere.

Sounds good to me. +1

I've been playing with Schwann ever since we met in Bay like, almost 6 months ago at this point, and they've always been a consistent roleplayer. I can't attest to your ability to play foreign species, but I can say that you're really good at playing humans and making them stand out - the little things in personalities are really evident in your characters. That said, I'm not giving you a free pass here. Does Nikandr follow any kind of religion and why? Would it affect his views on mysticism? What about his parents? Did they contribute to his views on it? Did he have any close friends to investigate with?

We have found no evidence of wrongdoing in the -cttM round ID. It is a standard vampire round gone wrong - yes, the gimmick may have been disagreeable, but there is nothing against the rules. Naelynn was not in the other round ID provided. This complaint will be closed in 24 hours unless further evidence is presented.

BYOND Key: - MattAtlas Character Names: - I was known for playing Erana'Weshi Xoqia and Araa Plenek. Nowadays I play Emily Cress and Luo Jingyi the most. Species you are applying to play: - Tajara. What color do you plan on making your first alien character: - 138, 54, 15 (Ruddy) Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: - Yeah. 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: - It's very easy to assume why; Tajara have a lot of interesting inter-species conflict and I think they're the one that does it the best. It comes out a lot on-station and there are a ton of different character concepts you can play as one due to the sheer amount of lore. Sure, it's a lot to get through, but it's worth it. I've played lots of humans now and I think it's time I go for something fresh. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: - Obviously, the political tensions between different Tajara are the number one difference. This greatly affects how they view eachother on the station. Rarely does humanity have this, if at all. The amount of lore is pretty humongous, making lots of characters possible, and it's all a very different outlook from what humanity has. There's a lot of areas that humanity hasn't explored; mysticism, to name one of the biggest. Something else that also stands out is that you're not playing someone that's on the same status as humans. Character Name: - Kortnev Ndraanovich Please provide a short backstory for this character. Kortnev Ndraanovich, a Njarir'Akhran Tajara born in 2424, three years after the event that sparked the start of the uprisings. By this time, his parents had already narrowly fleed from their original keep shortly before its slaughter into the northern part of Harr'masir, where life was decidedly not easy. Their life was relegated to an isolated and small settlement in the icy mountains. Food and water were equally scarce, not fitting Tajara of noble lineage. Over the years, Kortnev's father had taught him skills necessary to his survival while his mother taught him the more academic parts in her spare time, including their belief in S'rendarr and Messa, as his mother believed in the original Njarir religion and she was the one to pass down her knowledge to Kortnev. As time went on, the situation seemed more and more hopeless, with little keeping the family alive. It turned out that most of these skills had to be learnt on the spot by his parents; they were not things the nobles were accustomed to doing themselves. They cursed the greedy peasantry for initiating this unnecessary bloodshed, and Kortnev picked up on it. A few months after the rebellions end, Kortnev's father gave them the all clear to return to the area around Kaltir. The family was sickly at this point, but they had hung in there. A slow and painful descent from the upper mountains later, they had finally arrived at Kaltir. But it was not without cost; their lives were changed for the worse. With no territories or land left, without a name anymore and with a deep-seated grudge, they settle in their new home. From this point on, their destinies split. Kortnev's father was relegated to military service and his mother tended to their new, small room and belongings. Moved by the lack of local medical personnel and the desire for a more 'noble' occupation, Kortnev sought out education to receive a medical doctorate and become a surgeon. The local IAC camp was always full, with lacking surgeons due to excessive needs during the PRA assault. During one particular day, Hadii's assassination happened. Yet another grim reminder that the republicans caused all of this. More slaughters would continue, he thought; this was a war made by the greedy peasantry, who plunged Adhomai into endless slaughter. While he wished to see the New Kingdom regain its rightful reign, it was most likely a pipe dream. A wish to leave this planet was born, but it was still not considerate enough. Soon after their doctorate was acquired, Kortnev proceeded to work for the IAC camp near Kaltir. As the days went on, more and more soldiers were slaughtered by the same republicans. The war against the PRA seemed endless, with countless victims reaching the camp where he had been working. At this point, Kortnev decided to leave the planet behind, since there was little hope left. As much as he wished for the NKA to rule again, it looked less and less possible as time went on. In secrecy, he approached the IAC personnel near their camp and asked to leave and assist elsewhere in space. He had told nobody, not even their friends, in a show of cowardice. A few troubled years and reassignments to several refugee camps later - from the Frontier to Tau Ceti - and he has now been hired by Nanotrasen as a surgeon, a more stable job considering the need for money. In 2461, he has been promoted to a chief medical officer, and reassigned. What do you like about this character? I'd say it's the unique outlook on the war, it's a view I don't really see represented often. It'll clash with many characters since it's a pretty controversial way to view the current conflict in Adhomai, where the PRA is in the wrong for the slaughters they've done. In addition, working with a character who has things to hide, and things that make them weak is always good. I'll enjoy these two aspects the most, but there's lots of other stuff too; Ma'take seems really fun as well. How would you rate your role-playing ability? - I'd say a solid 7.5/10. In introspection I'm good at immersing myself into a character, but I often struggle to come up with ways to make a character stand out from the rest. Notes: bruh momento numero dos

The IC vs. raider team thing really does not paint you in a positive light. What are your thoughts on it?

I have some reservations about this. Do you imagine this being counterintuitive to you being a staff member, and if not - why not?

Not sure about this one. The only remarkable thing I've seen about you is you rushing an antag with shocker gloves as an RD and taking them down near instantly. I don't think that's the kind of behaviour people should see RDs exhibiting.

How to do this, you ask? Don't go quote by quote. It's a pain in the ass to read and makes shit way too long. Just make a summary of your thoughts regarding the whole post instead.

The cartel, aboshehab cannot stop. Calling the kremlin I am. Mistake you have made. Sell your organs for ketamine I will. Yodie, you will.

Ketamine, where is it? Stolen my stash you have. Gave you two bottles I did. Pay the debt back, you promised. Ran to mexico you did.

You committed the ultimate cardinal sin, you got personal. You, as a team of professionals trying to make money, got personal. You got personal and decided to insult your playbase, calling us "ass-hats" and "freeloaders". Not a wise move. We won't forget this. You've set a new tone for the kind of interaction we'll be having with you. It's a cold one. One where there aren't any illusions about the reality of the situation. Previous notions of "family" are dead. We are mere consumers to you, and that is obvious. You have chosen to bring in a new era of hostility and bitterness. Well done. Great PR move.

Basically this. Especially security players who already wear cat ears on the daily. -1

You should know more than anyone the precedent that this sets. Communication is extremely important, especially in places as prone to pressure loss as a space station. You can argue that you "can just use a PDA" mechanically all you want, but you're the first that should know this makes no sense at all. It restricts you from using comms which already rules out several departments - head of staff, security, medical, engineering and so on. Yes, you were a mute engineer beforehand, there's no way a mute person would even be allowed in because of EVA communication being key in EVA repairs - and using your PDA EVA? Everyone knowing sign language? Sorry, but that ain't happening. This is why a blanket ban was put in place. It's easier to list what you CAN'T do as a mute person than what you CAN do - because that's what being mute does. It IS an extreme disability because it changes your entire life. There were zero mechanical* issues, is what you mean.

Why did you get banned from the citadel discord though? And how long ago? This is sorta important.

People need some indication of when someone dies. What do you suggest we could use instead of this?

30 or 40 damage with good AP is probably going to be instant bone break, if anything they'll most likely get IB and shrapnel. No. As I said, shotguns should be axed from the armory and replaced. There's just no good way to balance them.
