  1. Rightio let's do this. The human apperance is designed to further encourage discussion and humanise the unit. This will greatly assist it in its role. Ethan was chosen to be a shell due to their complexity allowing them to analyse and deduce in a methodical advanced maner whilst using the human appearance to bridge the gap between what is essentially a human in most cases talking to a complex algorhythim. This meshing of ideas is in theory meant to allow Ethen to use the friendly appearence to better communicate and become closer with his interviewees whilst analysing and processing the best next step in his interaction to further improve chance of successfully assisting in the case. There are nine total making it a large pay out but if the preliminary models are successful it will hopefully be able to be sold in larger ammounts for a very tidy profit. Although it certainly had effect on the unit it was definately limited. Ethan would describe it as 'regetable' if asked about the subject. He has not allowed the event to effect his performance despite it 'saddening' the unit. They are not fake so to speak, he is friendly as it is benifical to be in almost all circumstances and has genuine respect for others. When it comes to the nity gritty of his role sometimes it is needed to change the way he behaves and operates in order to produce a more faverouble result, Ethan will have no issue with this. Think of it in the sense he will furfil his role and purpose regardless of what he must do and that ussualy will include faking emotions. He does not allow real emotion to overcome him as it would effect his effectivness, though he likely has some deep down. The main tension would come through his connection to the death of a human and his methords used during his role. People may see him as responcible for the death causing intresting confrontation. Others may see his anaylitics and logical approach behind a human face as deceptive and unethical. Some may simply praise him for his effectivness. There can and will be a lot of variation here and I would love to explore it. Hopefully this anwsers all of your questions! I pride myself in this. Thank you.
  2. An anonymous message appears upon Evan's screen. It simply reads: "Do you call all of your subordinates Fish Tits or am I special?".
  3. BYOND Key: Elliot123 Character Names: Elliot Proctor, Hayley Lagget, Ryliab Weeshib, Alfie Danlof (unplayed). Species you are applying to play: IPC (Shell). What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): N/A. Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yessir. 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 wish to play IPCs due to the new roleplay avenues it would open due to their unique properties and style of character. IPCs and AIs always interested me much more than station bounds due to their higher threshold for development and have many different options for roleplaying in comparison. A few IPCs have interested me in the past as characters and I would like to make a contribution to their impression on the station and get into the nitty gritty of their relationships between crew and different beliefs. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The main difference between IPCs and humans are of course that IPCs do not 'feel' they emulate emotions instead. They also have more frayed relations with many other races, factions, etcetera meaning they will be treated vastly differently depending on the situation they find themselves in. The way they behave can also be vastly different, depending on how you play them of course. Some will attempt to empathise with others whilst some will be purely analytical and make decision purely on logic and cause and consequence. They are also (mostly) owned by another entity meaning they have a purpose and loyalty to that said entity. Character Name: Ethan Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Ethan was produced by Terraneus Diagnostics in early 2460 as a line of preliminary Shells designed to work within the security field as analysts and assistants rather than in front line roles. In particular the Ethan line was designed to fill a detective role. They were designed as Shells to better converse with humans and other species whilst analysing those they came across in their role to better influence the outcome of the interaction. There are nine units in total within the Ethan line, the first one being damaged on accident during testing meant the activation of the second unit, this Ethan. He underwent many tests with Terraneus Diagnostics to ensure top performance of the unit. Ethan's specialisation is of course within the detective field and as such is most adapt to understanding organic emotions in a methodical way and using them to his advantage. After he was put through his paces Ethan was sold to fulfil his role aboard the Odin for a brief time under an organic detective to ease him into his position. He surpassed expectation being the leading factor in the solution of many cases due to his analytical capacities and ability to better interact with humans. Unfortunately this eventually led to the suicide of his organic companion. He is now to be stationed aboard the Aurora due to the tension with his co-workers aboard the Odin after the death. Here it is hoped it will be proved that the Ethan line is capable of not only working under organics but independently to better improve the odds of the model taking off. What do you like about this character? I like to think the backstory of the unit is unique and something that will be explorable for other characters. I also like that that he will be able to develop and grow with the crew aboard the station as he will never have met the bunch and this will influence his character from shift to shift. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Pretty good. Though that's a somewhat biased opinion. See below feedback for the truth! Notes: I have played a large amount of AI in the past meaning I believe I can effectively play this character as I've already got my feet wet when playing as synthetics. Cookies to whoever can remember the name of the AI as I can't.
  4. BYOND Key: (This is your Byond Login/Ckey) Elliot123 Staff BYOND Key: (This is the Byond Login/Ckey of the staff member) More of a complaint about the warning rather than the staff, but LilahNovi. Game ID: (If applicable. Game ID of the round on which the incident took place. If you don't remember the exact one, then the round after or the round before works as well.) Reason for complaint: (State your reason for your complaint) (If I remeber correctly) this round was the one where the server was lagging to hell and I cryoed due to the sheer pain of waiting fourty plus seconds to move one tile. I was nearby the cryo chambers and immidiatly ghosted as this in itself took a few minutes. Evidence/logs/etc: Additional remarks: I do understand the neccesity of not cryoing as command roles but (assuming this is the round I think it was) this should be an expection.
  5. Point One: ..... Point Two: Although part one is slightly off it's fairly close. Part two looking good as well. Again agents will guide you with procedures for both to get you sharp. Again however, more on "why do you wish to join the CCIA?" would be good.
  6. Had a look over this application, and would like to put out my thoughts. I shall begin with Uriel Evans strangely enough. I really do enjoy this character, and had not the slightest clue that is what Pwner who plays him. A number of my characters have had interactions with Uriel all of which being interesting and engaging. I can however not speak of the other characters of which I have little to no experience with that I can recall; they are likely at least somewhat interesting. In this aspect I support that Pwner is mature and will likely add a pleasant dynamic and at the least have his agent act as they should. Dead inside. Onto my next point, the application itself. Though what is said is fine, it's the quantity which worries me. I would like clarity on the following points. To begin why do you wish to join the CCIA? this point I ask of due to the overall lack of a solid response. I would like a more fleshed out answer, wishing to assist the community is good and well but what do you wish to achieve? Why this and not the moderator or development team? My next point is in regards to the what do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent... questions. I do not think you fully understand our purpose and daily activity. Due to this I request the following: 1) A description of how you think a typical investigation pans out and what actions we take. 2) A description of how you think we act within a round (outside of normal investigation). That said, the above is not a pass and fail in my books. It is simply to gauge how much you know. Assuming the answers I hopefully receive aren't completely off I would have no issue in trialing you on the assumption your wishes to join are well founded. The previous bouts of inactivity are also slight cause for concern though nothing to worry off if they have now passed. Hope to hear back from you.
  7. Whoop whoop, time to address feedback. I'll start with [mention]Saudus[/mention]. Does she share her parent's view on synthetics? Does she view different synthetics in different ways, such as IPCs vs lawed station bounds/AIs? Ryliab will for sure have issues with trusting synthetics in general, though due to her age not she was not involved in the terrible situation her parents had been in involving them but has instead only been told of them second hand. This will effect the dynamic of her character I believe, as it will add a moderate conflict with an AI which by its nature has access to view her and listen to her radio whenever they choose but still has the chance to (cautiously) make her own opinion on the matter. In this nature, yes she shares her parents views but not to the extreme that they believe. On the other hand when it comes to IPCs she will still be cautious and distrusting though not to the level of her opinion of AIs due to their positronic brains making them slightly more natural, even if by just a little bit. Overall she will for sure have issues with synthetics but not to the point of no return as it were. Does she have any siblings? Unfortunately Ryliab's parents were deemed infertile after the Singularity due to the heavy use of biological weapons. Despite this, they underwent treatments and care which allowed them to have a single child as they felt it needed for their relationship to be fulfilled meaningfully. As a result Ryliab was born but without any siblings. Is she affected by the genophage? Has being sterile/not sterile had some impact on her? As mentioned above, this will effect her. She is sterile which up until this point in her life has not really had an effect. Her younger age means she is not looking to settle down in the near future and as such it's not been a huge issue and won't be for at least a little bit until she truly considers if she wishes to have children in the more distant future. Perhaps it will be something to explore. Did she try her hand at science and/or warfare? Did she try and find herself unsuitable or felt not good enough and never tried? Ryliab was never comfortable with the idea of being in a war based profession and as such when trying things and exploring her options the route was shut down fairly quickly. She is a more calm and caring character rather than one that would do well in combat. As for science, although intelligent and very much into learning and exploring new fields sticking in one subject never interested her. Instead Ryliab enjoys having a small amount of knowledge in varied fields and unfortunately this does not get you very far in scientifically based careers. The qualifications in management she got, were they from education/work/both? She gained her experience via work in middle management roles, slowing working her way up with education sprinkled in with training courses and time off to gain qualifications. Now for [mention]DoxxMedearly[/mention] How does she feel about working alongside synthetics? Perhaps this will develop over time, as you said, but I'm interested in her initial impressions and thoughts. Fears? Apprehension? Etc. This is a pretty big thing for Skrell, so it's important to know how she's feeling initially. As above. What was it about science that didn't click with her? How hard did she try? I'm interested to see how she interacts with science crew, so I think that's am important bit to nail down to help you RP. It seems to be very key to how she ended up where she is. As above again. As with most subjects she didn't try "hard", she learned what she enjoyed and skipped what she did not believing it would be wasteful to do what you don't want in life. This resulted in some failing in understanding and such as you can imagine. Let's hope this is formatted proper because I did it in the quick reply for the memes!
  8. BYOND Key: Elliot123 Character Names: Elliot Proctor, George Holt, Aaron Williams, Hayley Lagget Species you are applying to play: Skrell What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Pale blue 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: Skrell have always been an interesting race to RP with due to their contrast with the human population due to their high intelligence and low emotional expression due to their difficulty doing so. The main reason I wish to play Skrell is because of this as it will lead to interesting RP regarding the differences between them and other races. This is further enhanced by the fact the Skrell population (on the server) is currently almost non-existent and I wish for myself and other to experience interaction with them due to their rich interesting lore. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Skrell whilst not appearing as outlandish as other races have distinct differences in opinions and ways of living to humans. For example due to their low spectrum of show-able emotion to others they may appear rude or arrogant to others. They are also more logical and calculated than humans focusing more on planned decisions than emotional outbursts which contrasts heavily to most human characters. Character Name: Ryliab Weeshib Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Born on Aliose in 2420 into a well off family Ryliab had a comfortable early life. Her mother was a researcher on the planet, working on prototype equipment for the Skrellian fleet forces and her farther a member of said fleet forces. Both of Ryliab's parents lived in Fedas and witnessed the Era of Synthetic Oppression and as such her early years were often filled with the stories of evil synthetics and how they were unnatural and should not be trusted at all costs due. Ryliab was not talented in either science or warfare unlike her elders and as such was disjointed with herself in a sense as she would not achieve the levels of respect and pride of her parents. Due to this she would never feel truly at home on Aliose regardless of how much she loved it. When she grew Ryliab moved to Qerrbalak, the home of the Skrell society to explore its' surface and discover herself. Overtime she would find herself gaining qualifications in management and wished to use these skills to to become an administrator of a respectable company or other organisation. After some eleven years in various management positions NanoTresen caught her eye. It was the perfect role in her mind, a science based organisation where she could have a meaningful management role where she could oversee the groundbreaking scientific research being done. One faithful day she departed from her home system and traveled to Tau Ceti, renting a small apartment aboard the Odin to begin her new role as Head of Personnel. What do you like about this character? Ryliab is young and as such I can explore her character fully and develop it naturally. She is logical due to her parent's professions and I look forward to exploring the various RP interactions her culture and backstory will open up. I want to play her as a calculated HoP which is something I have no seen too much of yet still caring about the individual. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Overall I would say I am a competent role-player at the least, though other people should rate that. Notes: Hello! It's ya boi Elliot. This is my first race application and as such any suggestions are welcome. I feel as if I've done a fair enough job here but if you have any issues please let me know so I can improve it.
  9. Will be looking into this and working on it.

  11. Unfortunately, my initial thoughts on this application are not positive. It is extremely short and whilst I'm sure you are interested in joining it doesn't show the detail or effort required within the team. It also shows some misunderstanding on our duties and general way of going about things. I myself think that you will currently take things far too personally when it comes to the game, which has come to light in the past via other applications and game-play. This in particular would hinder you within this role as it requires a level head and you must hold no grudges about anything or anyone. Although it I dislike doing this, I recommend re-applying in a few months time if and when these issues are resolved. Currently I personally do not think you are suited to this role at this current time. I genuinely hope you find this feedback useful and take it into consideration when or if re-applying for our team and applying for anything else, be that staff roles or whitelists.
  12. +1 I've seen them round from round to round. Didn't realize they had a white-list app up till today though, Mae is a really interesting character and the backstory is a good read. They've also been interim CE a few times and they've done very well in that position, if only for a round. I see no issue with this app.
