BYOND Key: incognitojesus Character Names: Senri Ishikawa, Damian del Prado, Kir Suhl, Jameson Suhl, Gunny, ISU-6672, Hiroto Sato Species you are applying to play: Tajara What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Ruddy (RGB 138, 54, 15) 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 would like to play the Tajara race because they seem to have the best thing going for them in terms of actual lore development. I've seen that Mofo plans on developing the Tajara storyline more than just adding fluff every so often. I honestly really enjoy the ingrained sort of differences between the different races of Tajara, which is honestly something that you don't see in any of the other species (the closest parallel I can think of is the way that Guwans are segmented away from society in Unathi culture, but even that is a stretch). The ongoing war was getting very weary, but I do greatly enjoy the dynamic between the different factions, and it provides for tension between the individuals on the station (something I have observed firsthand). Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Roleplaying as a Tajara is different from roleplaying a human in several ways. First, Humans are the general blank slate, and have a lot more freedom in terms of how their backstories can be constructed whereas Tajara are more limited, although they do have much, much more to build off of. Tajara also have different priorities in terms of physical needs while on station such as monitoring their temperature, etc. Tajara have different priorities in general when it comes to their coworkers. A Zhan-Khazan may hold their family closer than M'sai or Hharar, while Njarir may view their family simply as an extension of their bloodline. Lastly, the animosity that can form between Tajaran characters that come from different factions or locations is very interesting, and has lead to some of the most interesting character dynamics I've seen that have come as a result of actual lore. Character Name: Kadir Al-Shennawi Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Kadir Al-Shennawi was born on 24 May 2439 in the military base of Miran'mir on Adhomai. The Civil War displaced his mother, Rrhuyala of the Njarir'Akhran Rrhamrare line, and her family, forcing her and her father to flee from their ancestral home as the Republican Army closed in on the seat in the year 2429. Facing imminent extermination, the patriarch of the Rrhamrares stowed himself and his young daughter away aboard a fishing vessel where they retreated to Miran'mir. The years passed, and while the patriarch found his family and he well-received because of the few levies he was able to escape with to Miran'mir and as befit his social station, this staled quickly as those levies were exhausted. By the end of the first war, the once-proud noble was nothing more than that but in name, and in turn resorted to helping connect wayward Tajara with coyotes to smuggle them off-planet in the wake of the Republican victory before he himself died of lockjaw in 2442, leaving Kadir's mother a modest sum of money. The death of Kadir's grandfather left Rrhuyala with enough money to survive for the next ten years, although this only lasted three years before the debts owed by Kadir's father, a sailor in the Republican Navy, forced Rrhuyala into an early poverty by 2445, just a step above the peasantry. Rrhuyala found herself working in a supply warehouse as a clerk, with the kit Kadir at her side as she labored long hours poring over manifests and the sort. As the years went on, Kadir developed an interest in the ships he would see moving in and out of the naval yard, watching and waiting for his father to return after he left in 2444, which he never did. At the dawn of the year 2453, while Kadir was working in a library in Barj'ar, his mother dropped dead of shock as fireworks went off above Miran'mir. Hearing this dreadful news several months later, Kadir returned to Miran'mir, lied about his age and claimed to be two years older, before enlisting in the Royal Navy at the age of 14, working his way up from an Able Seaman aboard a battleship to a gunner's mate over the course of the next five years. He blamed the PRA for his family's hardship, and was determined to get into the fight, although he would never experience any heavy combat beyond moderate skirmishes. He was medically discharged in 2458 after loss of hearing in his left ear, and Kadir returned to Miran'mir once more. This time, however, Kadir was not content to remain in Miran'mir for the rest of his life, toiling away like some peasant in a warehouse. Instead, he arranged passage with a family friend who worked with the coyotes, and smuggled himself to Tau Ceti in the cargo hold of a fur trader in the year. In Tau Ceti, he applied for a visa, and found himself working for the biggest employer in the system, Nanotrasen, as a slightly less impoverished noble in a warehouse, taking up shifts as a cargo technician when possible, and working on his poetry. He arrived in Tau Ceti, a newfound sense of freedom in the air mixed with fear as he stepped off the ship, stretching out his legs, and with a flick of his ear, went to a safehouse in District Six, Little Adhomai while the coyotes awaited the rest of his payment to arrive on the next ship. Kadir was sickened having to live amongst his lesser Tajara, and pondered a way to get out of the district, perhaps even out of the city. More so, he was sickened with himself for his method of payment, a silvered brooch wrought with gold that was given to his mother by her late father. The payment went through, and he was given forged documents, and then Kadir was on his own. Where else was he to turn for employment, a Tajara in Tau Ceti? Kadir was conflicted, but the hunger pains in his stomach and the lost weight practically forced him to either beggar himself, or work for the very corporation that could very well have supported those who wrought destruction upon his family, and his birthright. Kadir of the line Rrhamrare swore to himself that he would begrudgingly work for Nanotrasen at the time, and one day, when the NKA, the rightful government, was poised to destroy the Communists, he would return home to Adhomai. He would not return to Miran'mir, but rather to his ancestral home. What do you like about this character? I would say that I enjoy the struggle of identity that is present in Kadir, as while he does come from a noble background, this didn't mean much in his upbringing. He craves to reclaim what he views as his birthright, or to at least live in luxury as he feels he should be. He views himself as genetically superior to his non-Njarir coworkers, although he doesn't play this up openly. He acknowledges that there are PRA and ALA sympathizers on the station, but takes pleasure in knowing there is nothing they can do to him while he is in Tau Ceti space, or so he believes. He is a firm believer in the NKA, and despises what he views as Communist peasants. How would you rate your role-playing ability? This is always a loaded question. I could definitely work on emoting more, but I would hope that this whitelist would facilitate that more. I always try to keep my character at least believable, and am open to suggestions regarding backstory. Notes: As I said, I'm open to editing the backstory. I worked with Alb to try and make a backstory that connects to an already established character, and want to give a shout out that way. I felt as though the backstory of the family was important because he is Njarir, although I did cut out a few things because of length that may come up as questions, so feel free to ask away. EDIT: Also changed the color to Ruddy because Garfield isn't cool.

I think a decent solution would be to just reduce the cooldown? Honestly, three seconds sounds like a lot given how quickly combat and hostage situations go. Or even just make the first few shots after a little more inaccurate. This would negate bullshit autoaim and still allow you to hold people hostage.

I like the concept of the character, and like I've said, you're a very good roleplayer despite the flak people throw at you OOCly for your beliefs. I won't touch on that, but I would like to see the rest of your answers fleshed out more, especially with maybe your individual IPC unit in conjunction with the history of the line of IPCs.

I would never support this. In the past, you've shown that you just aren't a good trialmod, and judging from your performance as CCIAA in your relatively short tenure, I doubt that has changed. Not only that, but you've also admitted that you only applied for CCIAA as a stepping stone to trying for a moderator position again. This isn't an attitude I would ever encourage. Not only all of this that I've mentioned before, but your note history is extensive with a resounding number of seven warnings, twenty-seven notes, and several bans resulting from you not being able to maintain a cool head. TL;DR you aren't fit for a staff position, any staff position, really

Appeal accepted. Locking and archiving.

I'm fine with lifting this so long as you understand that logging on as Biphen Isra in any engineering position will constitute another ban that won't be removed as easily as this one. Furthermore, seeking a transfer into any engineering position as Biphen will also result in the ban being reapplied until the CCIAA appeal is acted upon. And if the appeal is denied, then you still may not play as Biphen in engineering. So long as you understand all that, I can just lift this as it was only placed for procedure anyways.

Here's my only issue with this. It shouldn't have various banking hubs, etc. on the station since most of that is in District 13 of Mendell City. Sure, it would have commercial banks and perhaps the various investment bank office or private equity firm maybe, but it more than likely wouldn't be a banking hub, per se. Nanotrasen isn't a bank, either, surprisingly. If any commercial bank would have any presence on station, it would probably be one of the largest ones in the galaxy, Idris Incorporated. Other than that, it's cool. I'd like to expand the lore for NTCC Odin and the sort, but I'm currently occupied with college and all.

I'm already starting.

Note: Any griefing action on another server will result in a permanent ban here. No raiding other servers, or anything of the sort because we will hear of it.

I'd reword that a touch. Those complaints were about the rewrite.

Some two months ago, the Vaurca lore was reworked, and quite a few community members spoke up regarding this change and how they were not pleased with it. The rewrite that isn't a rewrite was given a ton of feedback, and rather than having it reverted or altered, the Vaurca loredev instead elected to say that he would resign his post if fifteen people supported it, to which I responded there aren't fifteen Vaurca players. The Vaurca changes disrupted what was an original race native to Aurora (which has since been taken and altered what made people want to play the race, and that was the simplicity of it, and how it was something unique that had risen up organically within our lore. The chief complaint that I receive from former Vaurca players as well as those who were interested in the lore is that they've become something convoluted and people no longer want to read or understand the new changes. In fact, the only thing that I can think of that wasn't touched by the complete rewrite is the relationship between Vaurcae and the rest of the galaxy's powers. Even then, the interpersonal relationships between Vaurcae and the crew members has since now we have Vaurca-Human relationships that seem to be budding, and people either outright ignore the Vaurcae or just ignore the changes. Some gems I've read from people are that it seems like there is a "MILF fetish" within the species, or the infamous saying from one of the Vaurca, whom I won't out for this, but. Which brings me to something the Vaurca loredev said in staff_lobby which leads me to writing this post. They have further stated that they would rather resign than revert the Vaurca lore. I would not resort to this if it were not the case. While I understand the effort one puts forward towards their work, at the end of the day, it still needs to be something that people are interested in and are willing to play. I asked Arrow for the number of rounds started wherein people played Vaurca, and what I found was surprising, and shocking, honestly. This is the number of rounds started as a Vaurca mob (note: this excludes rounds when people have queued to start but ended up as a Mercenary, Cyborg, Space Wizard, or AI). Duration is from 05/01/2017 to 06/14/2017 (approx. when Chev took over as loredev and the rewrite began), so forty-five days. As compared to after Chev took over and the rewrites were initiated. Duration is from 06/14/2017 to 07/28/2017 with the same stipulations as before: What we can see here is that, while Bygone may have made up the difference for the number of rounds played (which stayed around the same, 246 before vs 219 after), the overall number of players who are actively playing the species has dropped, with the notable Pikl drastically reducing the number of rounds he's played. Furthermore, I'd like to really stress this point that in the month and a half leading up to the rewrite, Chevalier only played the species he's now a loredev for four rounds which I believe may be the cause of the frustration people who were legitimately interested in Vaurca lore before and Chevalier. So, if you're interested in having Vaurca reverted, or would like to contribute to the discussion, please say so below. It would result in the Vaurca loredev resigning, but he doesn't seem interested in cooperating with his own playerbase, so that would be an unfortunate, but necessary change.

Moved to questions subforum. Will have words with FT when possible.

Too late I'm already taking all of the business ahah ahha haha Thanks, I try to keep him believable besides some light memes. And yeah, I haven't been playing many other characters besides like, Gunny recently. It's not ERP if it's implications.

Moved to general since this is not a guide, really.

I know u r but what am I?:^)

i jus wantd feedback stop bullyin me

who tf r u anyways

Yeah, I haven't played Gunny as much because of that and it kind of kills the gimmick a bit. Like I was in maintenance once and came back and an HoS chewed me out for making comments towards people and I was just there like, "Bro I was just in maintenance," and to prove it I went and got the cow I found in maintenance, leaned on its head, and pointed out that this was proof. Still got a stern warning, so I just cryo'd because that sort of shit was annoying. But if Gunny makes people laugh, my job has been accomplished. It's much easier when there isn't an HoS, but still. mf nibba doesn't even wear tank tops or beat wimmin smh

I play uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Senri Ishikawa, Damian del Prado, Gunny, and ISU-6672. Make me feel good and feed my ever-growing sense of narcissism haha my dude or just leave constructive criticism that I'll respond to and that'd be even better or u can kiss my ass

Sorry, I haven't been around recently what with college starting back up soon. I've decided that, since I've seen a marked improvement in your attitude and a real effort to try and improve your roleplaying abilities by speaking with a multitude of people in the player discord, that while the ban won't be lifted entirely, it will be brought down to a three day. Which means it will expire when this post is roughly three hours and twenty minutes old. 1:00 PM EST, really. I would also caution you to exercise restraint ICly and heed the advice that other members of staff and the community have given you. Locking and archiving.

Since the player in question was permabanned before I could respond to this, locking and archiving.

I've seen Pyre around and witnessed some pretty decent roleplay from them, and this application shows an understanding of synthetic lore and applies it to the actual character itself rather than just rehashing it. I'd give it my support. Although Cinder is an ass name, he said, having an old minerbot named ISU-6672.

If other, replace line and specify.) Overview of the Incident: Did you report it to a Head of Department or IAA? If so, who?: Rrazujun Rrhazkal-Jawdat, Head of Personnel (Jackboot) Actions taken: I am unsure of the actions taken by Greene as he went to cryo shortly after dealing with the incident. Additional notes: I would recommend at least suspension if not ratification of Endsley's verbal termination of contract due to not only his abhorrent and childish behavior, but also the sheer lack of respect for the Chain of Command, taking any opportunity to attempt to besmirch or berate my person. I would say the same for Zaun. ((OOCly, this was an extended round)).

I would like to also add that Mystery of Darkness played the character Wood Burns, which he coincidentally omitted from this application, but I feel as though attention should be called to the complaint surrounding said character here.

I had a painful experience with them as CMO. A patient is brought in, and he basically just kept dragging them around while they were bleeding while a paramedic chased him to try and at least stop the bleeding. And then when I confronted him about it he tried saying that it was all the paramedic's fault and that he should be brought to justice and then refused to hand over his ID and medical equipment when I told him he would be suspended. And then immediately went to cryo. My problem with this player is that it seems like they are unable to accept the consequences of their actions if it doesn't go their way, which is pretty bad as a player because it makes everything difficult as hell for not much in the way of reason. I don't think players like this should be rewarded with white lists of any kind. -1 from me on this.
