The only parts I'm concerned about are how on Earth a bunch of tajara got the gumption to think they could start bullying a skrell, but I'm extremely interested in how a Glorsh denier will be received on station, especially with being such a young skrell with so much inexperience. Also, I left this application up too long. Application accepted.

mice are valid lmao git gud

I was in this round! There was this whole thing where a bunch of us were confronting Corvo, who was trapped in the bridge, and then the agent turned into a highlander. Not all of us, just the one. It was pretty dumb. There was another highlander at roundend somewhat recently, but the only I remember was the seventeenth of February.

I like this. It's fun. This is usually enough but this is the forums so I have to actually elucidate my thoughts for once in my life. While the whole "NSS Aurora is the best research station! Simply the most advanced!" thing certainly has its charm it's always felt a little empty. A little forced, like we were making ourselves believe even though it couldn't possibly be true, because there are so many other things the station should be capable of, mechanically or otherwise, but we're just not! We're not the best, we've been lying to ourselves! Upsilon fills that empty spot just right, in addition to being a catalyst for oodles of conflict for roleplay. Also the name is great, it's perfect, do we all agree on that? Yes? Awesome, let's keep it.

I admit that I've become very endeared to this character very quickly. They're a little spoiled, they've faced a little bit of defeat before, they went to the planet I wrote - and you've even written in the importance of hydroponics farming! You have a very well-written frog. Application accepted. And I'm really sorry for the late reply.

That's pretty acceptable. Nanotrasen is without a doubt one of the largest employers in Tau Ceti. I think you've made some great choices in writing this character, especially one that's going to be seeing just how close humans can be with their synthetic counterparts. I look forward to seeing how fear plays a part of Sqrlesh Squish's life. Application accepted.

Vyyal will be getting their hands on some "forbidden fruit" very shortly, in any case, now that they're among humans. Your replies leave me itching even more to see just how they interact with the culture shock that is Tau Ceti. I'm excited to see them in action. Application accepted.

It's no stretch for a skrell to want a piece of human action authentic human culture. I'm excited to see how Vyyal's experiences develop them as a character. Couple of questions. What are Vyyal's feelings towards synthetics, as a young skrell? Secondly, how does Vyyal feel about humans themselves, not their creations? Are there feelings of disdain, or wariness, or perhaps admiration? And of course, the application will be up for about a week to collect comments and critique. [mention]Lualyrr[/mention]

This application reads very well. You have a great eye for detail, I can easily tell you've read the wiki pages, and I'm also loving your ironic angle of a skrellian underdog. Just a few questions, as per the status quo. What made Sqrlesh Squish choose Nanotrasen, specifically? Being a younger skrell, how does Sqrlesh Squish see artificial intelligence? Are they more lax than an older skrell would be? Unlike the warring on Adhomai, Glorsh isn't an ongoing crisis. Even though there are still survivors who remember, it's long since passed, and all that's left of Glorsh now is the imprint it left on society, and the consequences that come with that. It is, however, absolutely necessary that you reflect these consequences in designing your character. As always, your application will be up for about a week to collect comments and critique. Don't feel sheepish about advertising it! [mention]Hocka[/mention]

The player of the vaurca told me in adminhelps that they had no idea what was going on, and realized it too late to help (and it would be perfectly reasonable not wanting to fight a surgeon with a circular saw, much less get between it and someone else.) I have no reason to disbelieve them.

Apologies for delay. Refusing to give you ckeys was not a personal decision, I was working off of what Aboshehab has told us to do in the past. As for the incident itself, it did boil down to miscommunication. The round had escalated to a point where cyborg destruction was justified, but the surgeon did not understand that you were trying to leave and the vaurca who blocked your path did so unintentionally, which was perfectly believable because, as I said, the round has escalated, and it is very easy to see why someone would lock themselves to harm intent in that moment. What happened was unfortunate and avoidable, but mistakes are bound to happen during chaotic gameplay.

Skrell are capable of jobhopping, yeah. Just remember to get permission from administration first. Those are both sufficient answers to my questions. You leave me no choice but to accept this whitelist, and I look forward to seeing Qlglinshi! [mention]elianabeth[/mention]

Hey there! I'm a lore deputy for skrell in charge of whitelists atm. This is a solid application. You've shown a decent understanding of history with your character's backstory, as well as a strong grasp of the culture, and they seem like a pretty interesting person to see on the station. I'm a big fan of how you included the skrell's liberal use of augments in your character. I just have a few questions. This is a character with a somewhat varied background. What job/s will they be taking up on the station? At around 129, your skrell is a proper adult age. How do they deal with cultural pressures to attempt having and raising children? Did they undergo sterilization therapy, and if so, did it fail? Feel free to answer these in any order you desire, [mention]elianabeth[/mention].

That works, too. Locking and archiving.

Regardless of what the character was asked to do earlier in the round, the character should have felt some reasonable apprehension upon being close to a fire fight in addition to a serial killer and should have, by no means, gotten into the middle of it, for any reason. Shane's player has admitted that they've made a mistake. This will be noted on the player's account, and I'm happy to leave it at that. This will be closed in twenty four hours unless anyone has any objections. [mention]UnknownMurder[/mention][mention]Kryostro[/mention]

I think skrell are far more likely to value security over personal freedoms, possibly because of their lifespan - they may find it far more easy than other species to see a bigger picture. I think this makes them a little more like Sol Alliance space, in that regard - for instance, they both have a very large, very capable military. I also think, like the Alliance, they may be more willing to bar certain people from their systems because of "security reasons" like the Skrell have with the Tajara. I feel like we haven't seen enough of Jargon's biases, and I'm interested in playing with them and seeing what happens.

I will explain this to you as I had explained it in the ahelps. The cultists we see in game are based in our lore. https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?p=59180#p59180 https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?p=59183#p59183 The Cult of Narsie is canon. All the power they have comes from Narsie, their abilities to summon arms and armor, to manifest ghosts, heal themselves, etcetera. They are ingrained in our universe as a blood cult that worships Narsie with the intent of bringing it into this plane, and I told you that the gimmick was unnecessary and inappropriate for these reasons. You also said that this had been cleared before by a trial mod named "Sentinal" or something similar, but we do not have a trial mod or even a full staff member going by this name.
