One paragraph minimum per question. Why do you wish to play this specific race: (One paragraph minimum) I see the Vaurca as one of the most, if not THE most, interesting species on the server for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, they follow what is essentially a hivemind, Which I find fascinating as it can open up opportunities for RP when faced with another Hive member, Such as communicating over the Hivemind when faced with a problem while the two of you are separated. Secondly, I like the fact that they specialize in ways, With workers being used for, well, labor and research and things along those lines, and soldiers handling most defensive duties. I enjoy and admire the fact that the two are not a simple title difference, but actually different biologically. As well as the noticeable gameplay differences between the two types ( Not counting the breeder). Third, I have spent a good deal of time looking over the lore on the wiki and find it interesting how the hives interact with one another, along with the shortcomings of each one and the advancements of another. I also find the Idea of VR Paradise to be a very interesting Idea that threw me off at first. All of these things combined make me feel it could be a very interesting race to play with as their behavior can be a multitude of things. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: (One Paragraph minimum) Aside from things like EVA capability, the fact that warriors can bite and take less damage ( workers dealing with radiation better as a tradeoff for no biting), And the fact that they bleed a bit more than humans, I like the fact that they have a unique speech Impediment that can VERY MUCH affect how you interact with the crew, with un-augmented Vaurca having some difficulty making S and PH noises as this means you may have to take a different approach to communication, such as trying to veer away from S,P, and H heavy sentences. They are also highly discriminated against, which although negative, can still lead to some interesting RP situations down the line such as bigotry and general Racism, which I believe, IF DONE RIGHT, can be interesting for all parties involved. They are also a bit more specialized than humans, with Bound Vaurca very rarely allowing themselves to deviate from a given task to the relative Independent thinking of the Unbound. Both of which can affect the kind of job you are permitted into. They are also barred from Heads of Staff. Character Name:(Character name) Ka'Akaix'Krik' Zo'ra Please provide a short backstory for this character (Approximately two paragraphs) Ka'Akaix'Krik' Zo'ra was born very similarly to most other Unbound, it's egg was handled with more care by the Bound workers in the hive than what would normally be used with Bound eggs, and Ka'Akaix'Krik' Zo'ra was born with fully developed organs, although sterile. He went through the first 6 months of life before being implanted with the Neural Socket and experiencing VR for the first time, which lasted a couple of days. As with most Unbound after this change, Ka'Akaix'Krik' Zo'ra Really disliked being outside of VR, but recognized his Queen, of which being Vaur'skiyet'sca, needed him to fulfill a job, not personally of course, but Ka'Akaix'Krik' Zo'ra was destined to work outside of District 9 as an agreement with a corporation known as Nanotrasen. Which he had no problem with, as he saw it as an opportunity to leave the confines of the planet and explore his surroundings, as well as slightly better living conditions. After implantation Ka'Akaix'Krik' Zo'ra wentrough training in VR for the job Nanotrasen wanted him to do, which after some consideration, ended up being a Xenobiologist. The corporation wanted a Vaurca Xenobiologist because they recognized that Unbound Vaurca can both be suited for the role nicely, and be paid less than the average human. He went through countless simulations of a lab in which he conducted work on various lifeforms, the pertinent one being slimes. This training period went on for some time before Ka'Akaix'Krik' Zo'ra was finally discharged from the VR training program and set to ship off to a facility in Tau Ceti, a system the hive dealt with normally, as well as being the location contact was first made with a Vaurca hiveship. Ka'Akaix'Krik' Zo'ra was set to leave in about 2 days, most of which he spent in VR re-doing simulations, just to be sure he can do the job right. Before thoselast few hours flew by as he was suddenly on a shuttle zipping threw space on a beeline to the Aurora... What do you like about this character? (Describe what you like about this character) I enjoy how the character was made for a sole purpose, Just like most other Vaurca, and followed the same routine as other Unbound Vaurca for the first six to seven months of life, As I see the Vaurca as more of a collective during that time than as individuals I feel it fits the character well. The character's story pertaining to Nanotrasen is something I also find interesting as I took elements from the lore, Such as discrimination and being able to pay the Vaurca less, How Vaur's brood often dealt with corporations, one of the reasons it is the most powerful hive. and how the Unbound are usually the more Intelligent and free thinking kind of Vaurca compared to Bound workers, and integrated that into the character. How would you rate your role-playing ability? 7/10 Above average, I am capable of starting situations everyone can have fun with, although I tend to prefer following what other people have started. I have plenty of experience with HRP and have been with the server for over a year and a half. Notes: You spelled Approximately wrong in the format ( I fixed it in this app)

BYOND Key: Roostercat12 Character Names: Riley Crixx, Aaron Whirlow, Derek Williams Species you are applying to play: Dionae 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?: 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 wish to play as this race because I want to have a different roleplay experience as a different race. Simply changing races can make your experience that much different, Aspects like racism, different mechanics, and restricted jobs can change everything about a character and what they do on the station. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Roleplaying as a Dionae can vary very much depending on the situation. For example, Dionae are slow, VERY slow. This makes escaping a threat that much harder. basic annoyances, like the lights going out, can be life threatening for a Dionae that is far away from any other sources of light. Plus any particularly troublesome crew members may harass you, or start smashing lights to mess with you. Plus they are legally confusing, I have seen arguments happen over where a Dionae is considered an animal, or an actual Individual. Character Name: Emerald with Zen Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Emerald with Zen was spawned some time ago in the form of several Nymphs. Over a short time, These Nymphs would join together to create one creature of a humanoid design, with an Emerald caught in the middle. The newly formed Dionae wandered around the planet it was created on for days, weeks even. Until something strange occurred. The sun stopped supplying energy, a great mass enveloped the ball of light, quickly covering the Dionae in a blanket of darkness. Losing energy, Emerald stumbled as fast as it could, but simply could not outrun the darkness. Then another strange thing occurred, a sparkle of light, from inside a mass of metal. Emerald shambled with all it's might and finally reached the light, that came from the flashlight of a creature known as a Skrell. Emerald was met with great confusion and panic, and was almost shot by the Expedition force. Once the explorers finally realized what Emerald actually was, They began talking to it, trying to calm the group of Nymphs down. Of course, since Emerald had never encountered any other sentient race previously, it had no idea what they were saying. After Emerald figured out that the Skrell meant no harm, it settled down next to the flashlight, and listened. It quickly learned the Skrellian language over the next couple of days as the eclipse ended. However, there were problems that arose while they were huddled in the fallen ship. Nocturnal creatures had attempted time and again to feast on the explorers, and while the group had laser rifles, eventually they ran out of charge. Emerald came to the rescue, as it had the bright idea to use a metal coil and a salvaged power cell to recharge the weapons. . He grabbed the coil with one hand, a gun in the other, while the crew Used the power cell to transfer energy to the coil. The energy surged through Emerald as the gun received bolts of energy, recharging them. After the eclipse came to a close, the explorers brought Emerald back to the research station in orbit around the planet. And there he was offered a position on a distant station, as NanoTrasen wanted his services, seeing the potential in his Intelligence. What do you like about this character? I like the fact that he used his wits alone to find a way to solve a very dangerous problem. I also enjoy how he ended up meeting another sentient race, by almost dying in the darkeness in the midst of a Solar eclipse. These experiences could make interesting experiences to bring up in Normal conversation. And could make RP that much more interesting on the station, both for me and others. How would you rate your role-playing ability? 5/10, I can make some interesting Rp situations, but most of the Time I prefer to follow what other people started. Notes:
