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 find the fact that they are multiple beings fascinating. I think it lends itself to the fact that they are slow. I'd like to challenge myself by thinking in terms of a collective, rather than as an individual.
Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:
I like to take things slow, which is one of the aspects that draw me to this race. Their slow, measured nature is the way, in the real world, tend to take in life around me. I like to take my time, make sure that I get things done correctly rather than quickly. I think the best role play comes from drawing from personal experience, and this is a trait I am happy to have. Also, the multiple personalities within them make them slower because they have to take more time within each, individual mind to, collectively, come to a decision.
Character Name: Many Who See Below The Surface
Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs
Below the Surface began as a small nymph as they all do. It was curious, and wanted to learn. It consumed it's weight, always seeming to want more. To grow more. While trying to pace itself, it's hunger for knowledge and growth became exponential, to the point that others shared this vision became one gestalt and formed into Many Who See Below The Surface. While they found them self to be in a peculiar state, once they had fully formed a humanoid state, they found it exhilarating. The freedom of movement. Talking. All of it was new to them, and they always seemed to want to no more. They explored for a time, but found them self back on the Aurora, their spawning ground, as something within it called to them. They wanted a chance to spread their message, the message their species had been carrying for as long as they had been, that it is better to come together as one than to stand apart and think individually.
What do you like about this character?
Dionaea have an interesting ideology and system of behavior. Instead of trying to go fast, go everywhere, they allow themselves the time to take things in. To absorb them, as it were. I think it will be quite fun to try out a few different roles for this character.I liked the idea that, somewhere out there, is the ultimate form of gestalt. The ultimate capacity for a Diona has no limit, so forming some kind of religion around growing more nymphs and adding to the collective is where I am at with this character. I think that chaplain would be best suited for this character as they would want to spread their "religion," their idea that as a collective more can be done than as a single entity.
How would you rate your role-playing ability? I've played role playing games since I was an early teen. The way I find them interesting is that they allow you to express yourself in a safe, natural way. I've been playing on the station for awhile, trying to get myself accustomed to the game before I decided to request a whitelist.
Notes:
I am not One Who Sees. I never said I was. I thought it was clear before, but I will make it clear now. I was below the surface. I will change the name now so that the other player does not consider this theft, which was never my intention.
@Neinbox I've made some corrections to the post. Let me know if this will suffice.
