Eve never ceases to amaze me. His 7/10 roleplay rating is a blatant lie. I'd give him a solid 10, because every single interaction I've had with him IC had me grinning like a child in a candy store. Despite his amazingly crazy conduct OOC and in Discord, he does a complete 180 IC and plays out his character with his own touch of flair. I have no clue about IPC lore, so I won't make a comment about that, but I would like to add that I've had many interactions with his Station-bound E.V.E and it's been pleasant every single time. He knows how to roleplay a synthetic being well and I'm damn sure he'll do it with an IPC aswell. Huge +1 from me, and thanks for teaching me engineering, nerd.

Woop woop! Edited the last four paragraphs based heavily on Jackboot's suggestions. [EDIT] On further thought, the slime extract might be a bit extreme, subject to change. [EDIT 2] I just thought about having them implant a healing anomaly into him and it being activated by an electronic pulse of a pacemaker. Whichever or neither fits better I can just slot in. Thanks for reading <3

I spoke a bit with Dronz in Discord about the guns, suggesting recolouring the yellow to blue for a more sec feel, which I feel they achieved really well! I also believe that it'd be really damn neato for Mercs / Raiders to have additional ballistics, that might turn the gameplay from "Stealth until we're caught, then have a pathetic shootout in a hallway" to "Holy shit, these guys are Mercenaries sent to really screw us up!". Besides that, I also think the sprites are wonderfully done, and fits the aesthetic we currently have regarding guns.

I can totally see a Royal Chef taking this to work instead of the usual boring chef garments. Additionally, I really like how the sprite itself looks. This'd likely open some doorways to interesting roleplay, depending on how it's handled. It's pretty harmless, why the hell not? +1

I don't quite get why no one's posted feedback yet. Shadow's an amazing role-player and my interactions with all their characters thus far have been great. I've had some brief experiences with SIERRA and REM, so I can safely say robotic role-play is well within their reach. We've had pAI's that get turned into IPCs, but I haven't seen an AI that's been turned into an IPC yet. I find this to be quite the interesting approach! I feel like this'd allow an interesting way of role-playing an IPC. Naturally, the AI's super-knowledge would have to be tuned down, but still interesting! I will forever remember my interactions with Lovesense, especially that one time she threw a locker onto my head and nearly broke my neck. And that one time I flushed her down disposals immediately after. Naturally exchanging insults as we do so. Great role-player, great fun had. A big +1 from me.

I quite like how you had the characters career set up from the very start, growing from interest to full blown career. As I don't know much of the Skrell lore, I can't really say much else about it. What I can say, however, is that Riq is pretty damn good at playing alien characters. My interactions with him as Irusole were delightful, and Delta will forever be my second best medical friend. (ha!) I fully believe that he'll be able to play a Skrell character extremely well, and I can't wait to bully him ingame. +1 <3

BYOND Key: geeves Character Names: Harvey Isemann, Grayson Mintfill, Geoff Lufvio, Skrawl, Touch Of The Light, Trust In Everlasting Hope Species you are applying to play: Unathi What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yep! 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: This is one of those races that constantly bring a "woah" feeling, to me. The first time I read the written news article about the Unathi Crisis, the HMV Cataclysm ramming the NMV Daedalus gave me goosebumps. The Unathi Honor system also conveniently aligns with how I like to play my characters, which is quite nice! Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: As mentioned above, the Honor system would change how the character would respond to conflict of any kind, preferring to face it head-on. The species is also a few eras behind the rest of the galaxy, only recently being thrusted onto the galactic stage, with a massive technology boost that the species now has to adapt to. Character Name: Ruzaaki Ih'akhar Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs: What do you like about this character?: I like the fact that he isn't a 10/10 goody character. He has an arrogant nature that gets him into trouble more often than not, which in turn temporarily humbles him. I also enjoy that he's my first original character that has an amputated limb and an actual reason for having it. How would you rate your role-playing ability?: A solid 7/10. Notes: As usual, I wrote this whilst in a trance, so grammatical, spelling, logic or even plain word errors will be everywhere. Feel free to shout at me to fix it, and I will do so as soon as possible!

Alright, I'm way crunched on time. Test series will be going on for a week or two. I think it'd be best if we deny this application and keep the feedback on this one in mind for my next one. Naturally I'll either rewrite Rruffiak or make a new one. [leaning towards new]. Before this is archived though, I would like to thank everyone that gave me feedback on this one, appreciate y'all. <3 EDIT/PS: I'm going to talk to some peeps about Tajarans to see what I'm missing, so don't worry, next one will be better to the times eight.

Aesthetic as hell, I love it. +1

He was born in 2434, which makes him 26, I believe it fits with the timeframe, events and his studies. I do admit, I overlooked the map when I went through the wiki page on the Tajarans, even after multiple scans, that's on me. I'm pretty bad at writing the kind of conflict you need to display the civil war going on in this sort of story form, as my IC personas have a much quicker, shorter "delivery" style, which I try to replicate in my applications. I believe I'd be able to carry the lore through my character though, in the style of folklore and studied history, as well as personal thoughts on the conflict ravaging Adhomai, citing the oppression his family faced.

I'm on mobile too, so excuse my typing. I think this is actually super cool! Maybe not make it be so bluntly a cham kit, but something near it. If you take a look at the gimmicks some other characters have, like Lunea's cardborg helmet, Harvey's addiction to his hardsuit and half of security's blatant edginess, this doesn't seem to be too bizarre! Good sprites, good player, good idea! Big +1 from me.

Added a paragraph based on Coalf's suggestions, thank you <3.

I don't exactly know which cities the Tajarans have, and neither do I feel completely feel comfortable pulling one out of the ether, which is why I kept it kinda vague. I was intending for it to be a no-name semi-modernized city far from the combat. Which is why Rruffiak and his father wasn't just immediately drafted. Now here's just a straight up plot hole that I intend to fix in a wee bit. I was writing without thinking and just threw "Engineering" out there. I intend for it to be a generic construction/handy-man/you-ask-it-we-build-it kinda place. Again, I was sleep deprived and it will be addressed, rest assured! Never stay awake and write, guys. As usual, I was in a bit of a trance whilst writing. I meant it was like a doll house kind of thing. A early manifestation of his 3D visualization ability and general building know-how. I suppose you're right, but in terms of a whitelist application, I don't believe having a character that I intend to expand on ingame needs to have their entire lives laid bare. While it could make sense in a character story or a lore application, this piece is just to show that I have a grasp on Tajarans, their lore and how to RP them without absolutely tarnishing the species. ~~sorry dionae!~~ As I mentioned before, they're general construction dudes. Handy-men. With a large workshop and access to a variety of supplied/hired equipment, this wasn't made clear in the piece itself and will be added (thanks for bringing to my attention!). As I'm at a pretty young and tender age, I'm not exactly sure WHAT you can even graduate in, so I just threw Engineering in there. I'll make an effort to do some research and flesh 'em out in that department! Dangit, you got me there! Shocked was a pretty strong word to use (but hey, gotta give your story some feel, eh? ). I meant that he was more, for a lack of better word, extremely pleased that he ended up getting the job. Well, I had some real life experience with something similar. My dad had two companies but was in a no way rich, the one basically supported the other. When one had a set-back, the other was the crutch until both were up and running. I imagine Rruffiak's father was in a similar situation, having the crutch kicked out from beneath him. Thus Rruffiak getting the job was effectively the new crutch, supporting the family and the remaining factory. [Damn my sleep deprived rambling, honestly. I'll have to refine the heck out of it.] Get me coffee and a free afternoon, Boss. It'll look more polished than Faysal's golden throne room.

I loved being Wendigo's cadet partner as Grayson Mintfill ages ago, but I loved being Lycan's Raider partner Skrawl yesterday too. Your characters are all bloody great to RP with.

One Diona-Saver and Four Man-savers, please. jk lmao. Good char, love the /me scribbles. One of the few scientist characters that actually feel like they do science.

BYOND Key: Geeves Character Names: Geoff Lufvio, Harvey Isemann, Last Hope Of The Void, Touch Of The Light, Trust In Everlasting Hope, Grayson Mintfill, Skrawl Species you are applying to play: Tajara What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Dark Gray 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: Whilst lumbering around as my Dionae characters, I always ended up in conversations with Tajaran characters. During these conversations I was always pleasantly surprised by the cheeriness these characters had, as well as the rich backstory they would draw on to speak to me about. Aside from the lore, I really like how do they look, being much more customizable than the races I'm used to. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The rich lore the Tajarans have to draw from would make it rather fun and easy to role-play this species. Simply the fact that Tajarans roll their R's, speak in second-person and have a generally different outlook on life (depending on who you've made!), adds to the differences in roleplay. Character Name: Rruffiak Yeshraktar Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs: Rruffiak was born into a Zhan-Khazan family on the outskirts of a more modernized Tajaran city. Here he grew up and received an above-average education, funded by his father's engineering business. Taking after his father, Rruffiak showed interest in engineering and mechanical applications from a young age, building massive roadworks in mud as a child, makeshift weaponry out of wood in his teens, and a small-scale version of his family home in his late teens. Noticing Rruffiak's interest in the field, his father enrolled him into an advanced engineering course, where he was on-par or even greater than his fellow students. His interest was in construction, but electronics and other high-tech appliances enraptured him aswell. Almost partying as hard as he studied, he impressed one of the professors with his unorthodoxical way of handling problems, applying a different knowledge skillset in ways that solved problems effectively. This professor remarked that he'd do well away from Adhomai, but Rruffiak didn't yet heed his advice. Shortly after graduating, Rruffiak joined his father's engineering business, sketching up rough drafts of new mechanical devices, as well as assisting in the construction of many a nobleman's vehicles. He continued a cycle of work, entertainment at a local bar and sleep for a decade, which was finally broken when President Rhagrrhuzau was assassinated, sparking tensions between the nobility and the Zhans. Some time after this event, Rruffiak noticed weaponry being shipped out of the secondary factory en masse. After enquiring about it he was shocked to find out that his father's company has been forcibly taken, profits being sent to the government and factories being used to mass produce weaponry. Soon after finding out about this, he decided he could no longer be a part of this system of cogs, producing weaponry to annihilate his kin, he had passed by a Nanotrasen recruitment bureau several times but for once, he considered applying. To his shock his application was accepted that he'd be working onboard their latest research station at a lower pay. To get enough money for his family, get away from the weapon factory, and get to live his dream career without guilt, he took the job. What do you like about this character?: Rather than give up and sulk about his situation, he decided to follow his dreams and become a true engineer and overcome, to a certain level, the oppression of the government that held him. How would you rate your role-playing ability?: A solid 7/10. Notes: This is the first time I've really taken an in-depth look at the Tajaran lore and mannerisms. There is bound to be logical, lore or even grammar errors. I wrote this while mildly sleep deprived, which lorewriters told me was a good way to write in <3. But seriously, if there's any problems, feel free to hit me up on discord [GG#4318] or post critical feedback here. I'll attempt to fix it as soon as possible.

BYOND Key: geeves Character Names: Geoff Lufvio, Rovumbo, L.U.F.V Species you are applying to play: Dionaea What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Exempt due to Dionaea. 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 really think the change from playing one entity, to something that consists of (potentially) multiple entities would open the gates for an even more interesting roleplay experience. The Dionaea itself being very interesting to me, mechanically and lorewise. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: As I mentioned earlier, the possibility for inner-conflict in the face of outer-conflict could make this species much more interesting to play. There could be situations that are dangerous for Humans, but trivial for the Dionaea, and vice-versa. Character Name: Last Hope of the Void Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Last Hope of the Void, his name originally being Restless in Growth, was spawned on a remote planet taken over entirely by Diona and various plantlife's overgrowth, he spent most of his time as part of the larger gestalt, absorbing info from the other nymphs and things that he could observe around the gestalt. This however was not enough, as he seeked to learn as much as he possibly could. Some years later, his lust for knowledge was finally satiated when a Skrell research vessel made contact with his gestalt, giving him an opening to be released from the gestalt with some accompanying nymphs and travel with the Skrell. At first the Skrell sought to research the new gestalt that he had formed, giving him Skrell blood samples and allowing them to observe their work, noticing that he's extremely quick at learning the new skills, some researchers remarked that he even wrote as if he's been writing since spawning. They gave the gestalt a few field tests, noting that he was exceptionally quick in absorbing and applying knowledge to jobs aboard the ship. He was finally given a position as an Engineering Aid aboard the ship, helping out the more veteran engineers. Some time after he was given his position, a micrometeorite tore through the life support systems. The room being completely depressurized, only he could go in and survive. Via instructions relayed through radio, Last Hope of the Void managed to repair the life support systems, earning his new name. He was taken to Tau Ceti shortly thereafter, the Skrell giving him high praise. He got into contact with Nanotrasen and was offered a job aboard the nearby station. Seeing it as another opportunity to learn, he gladly accepted it. What do you like about this character? His entire character being purely after knowledge, being willing to abandon his gestalt and go on an adventure to learn even more. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I think I'm pretty alright, but I've much to learn from the other players on the server. A solid 7/10. Notes: I haven't written in ages, so I'm a little rusty. Grammar, spelling and general backstory suggestions welcome. I don't know if the knowledge thing could be seen as powergaming. If it does seem a little over the top, I can always adjust it a bit.
