  1. In my opinion, one of the ways Clock cult can get better is if instead of the Wave-Defense thing being gone all-together, it is replaced with a buildable object that we'll call for the purposes of presentation: the Summoning Beacon/Signal. Basically, it'd be a thing that just charges up to turn the station into Reebe, OOCly this would mean round end with a giant text of "The City of Cogs has been summoned forth, Ratvar will come soon after" and ICly, the clock cultists aummingly summon Ratvar. Another way this could go would be Ratvar is gone all together and the cultists just want to turn the station into brass paradise. I also think that Clockwork cult not having a shit ton of variants is okay. Not every roundtype can have a million possibilities and most successful or semi-successful gimmicks are either cliche or weird like how rev is always "[insert event, insert NT firing people or doing budget cuts" because crew can only react to that. In my opinion, Clock cult could be "People with advanced technology" "People with advanced technology who want to go to their city" "Religious fanatics with advanced technology who want to do [religious reasoning]", I think the execution would be the most important part. P.S. If it is ever added, I suggest getting rid of Ratvarian Cameras that allow for teleporting everywhere or at least making it something like "You can only use it three times" or "You can use it but it has a long cooldown/ You can use it, but it uses a shit ton of power"
  2. I don't know if this fits here, but I've been wondering as to why camera alarms still happen if you deactivate cameras by hacking them. I think a character knowing how to hack cameras should be rewarded with either a delayed alarm or no alarm at all. I think this would make it so the Guy Who Stealthily Deactivated The Camera alone isn't immediately Guy Who Is Suspect Numero Uno because deactivating it is just silently smashing a camera..
  3. BYOND Key: Diggiez Character Names: Preston Fulton Species you are applying to play: Diona What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): How do you color a tree? Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes, I read all of it. Each word. 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: Once I read how the species worked and what they were all about when I first played on the server, I knew I had to get the whitelist. Just what about a plant person made out of small animals that can grow into a literal planet with it's own atmosphere doesn't sound fun or intriguing to anyone? Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: EVERYTHING! I mean, hunger becomes obsolete due to your unorthodox, but totally cool method of eating, and you can survive in space with just a flashlight. Plus, you can make plant sounds which are actually just your way of talking to other dionae Character Name: Our Hand of Green Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs In 2445, a diona made of 6 nymphs left their gestalt to pursue their goal of researching more about the species who communicated with their gestalts and were apparent allies. The diona drifted through space, aiming at reaching the Human-Skrell ship that was a safe distance aways from the gestalt. There, Our Hand of Green learned the language of the humans, Sol-Common, and could understand the skrell, but they were physically unable to to talk in Skrell. The diona met other dionae who were aboard the ship, those dionae had become integrated into the ship's crew since they stayed on the ship for so long. Our Hand of Green learned that species used terms called "gender pronouns" to identify people based on how they looked so Our Hand of Green became calling themselves "he" for easy understanding for other species. After staying on the ship for 7 months, Hand of Green learned that if he wished to learn more about anything, he'd have to go to college, and so the diona did. He went on to study in a Nal'tor College of Career Excellence where he got three degrees that led to three different jobs. (The rest of the background will be split into three separate paths based on the career choice OHOG chose because I couldn't choose him to have only one career) [LIBRARIAN] During his time at NCCE, Hand of Green learned that the paper vessels known as books provided a great source of knowledge. He wanted to share this knowledge to others so he become a librarian, organizing books while also reading them in his downtime. It became his personal hobby and source of happiness. "These vessels of paper, 'books' as one calls them, are entertaining and very informative. We will always enjoy reading these books even if we are disappointed by it's climax or end." -Our Hand of Greens motto to reading books [CHAPLAIN] While he still studied, Hand of Green picked up a thing for theology and it's concepts. He learned of the many religions of species and how they practiced their religion. Hand of Green soon became deeply interested in theology, and practiced different religions for fun and research. Whenever he sees someone reading a bible or holy text, he can't help but ask what it's about so he can then try practicing this new religion. "Theology is intriguing to us. How can one, how can we, spend a life worshiping one of 'higher power'? Do these 'gods' truly exist, that is the question that lingers in us- a question we may never find the answer to" -Our Hand of Green's thoughts about theology [bOTANIST] It's obvious that a diona, a literal plant person, would have an interest in plants. Our Hand of Green realized his liking and interest in plants when he first saw one grow. "It grows in the light similar to us, it loves to be bathed in water, but it cannot stand any flames like us, and will mutate to radiation..remarkable." These were the diona's first thoughts about plants, and they were the thoughts that drove the diona to becoming a botanist who'd grow and work by several species of plants evey day. "We do not understand. How could one pass up this field and label it as a 'hobbyist's' job, it is everything, but that. This is clearly a field of research that cannot be ignored." -Our Hand of Green's thoughts about botany and people who disregard it What do you like about this character? OHOG is meant to be a symbol. He's to represent a person's curiosity and quest for knowledge. He's also my first shot of making a character who's limited to a few jobs due to their backstory, and not just a person with a magically changing personality and job like Preston is. It feels nice to do this instead of a sprite just used to represent and everchanging character. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Average, but with my plans for OHOG and the design I went for him, I'll most likely be able to rp better than before. Notes: While writing this, I remembered that dionae had no real gender so I had to change all the he's to their's, but then I came up with a plot reason as to why you say "he" for him and not "their"
