Redone. -Hope this is good

Alright, I will adjust it accordingly. Thank you.

BYOND Key: Korhin Character Names: Nathan Horrowitz , Zack Torrenta Species you are applying to play: I.P.C. What color do you plan on making your first alien character: N/A Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes Why do you wish to play this specific race: I wish to play as this specific race, since it will open up a wide spectrum of opportunity in terms of roleplay. For example, I can choose unconventional or uncommon personalities that would not make sense if a certain species were to have it. Also, If I ever do become a traitor, or antagonist alike, I have always wanted to roleplay with the same intentions of the probes in Star Control 2: Ur Quan Masters (A mix-up in lawset causes them to break down everything into -Base components- instead of doing what was programmed.) Furthermore, I would have the opportunity to create a new character that takes inspiration from the famous Juicebot, who I believe represents great roleplay even under limited capabilities. All in all, I look to create a character who carries a very different attitude, that can spice up general roleplay for everyone involved. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Playing as an I.P.C. opens up a lot more in the terms of personality and traits that a human cannot replicate. Also, not being able to interpret pain or use a different way of thinking, being a cyborg that goes off the way of cause and effect, can give more roleplay possibilities. All in all, being able to play an I.P.C. really opens more up to use in the way of roleplay, and can make certain situations very exotic in nature. Character Name: P.O.I.N.T. (Personality Operated Information Network Terminal) Please provide a short backstory for this character P.O.I.N.T. Was built on TC-V on 2440 in order to assist in the construction project that began in 2440. Being a part of the first batch of I.P.C.'s coming from HPS Sidirourgeio, he would stay on the construction site, being developed as extra-corporate brand I.PC. . P.O.I.N.T. in 2446 would be given a job in one of the residential districts, being a simple workhorse for a Kyle Ronaldo. Kyle was a citizen of the sol alliance, and was assigned to be a mechatronic engineer, in order to assist in the demand for industrial mechs in the still-developing districts. P.O.I.N.T. would work under Kyle Ronaldo until 2455, when Kyle was called to be moved into a new industrial disctrict, being assigned a new Hephaestus I.P.C. . Kyle, before leaving P.O.I.N.T. would upload the schematics and procedures in order to build the same mechs that Kyle worked in for 9 years. As P.O.I.N.T. was being reassigned, this new information was found, and was given to the research department of his district for investigation. Kyle, enacting on his own accord with company property, was stripped of his work, and transported out of TC-V to a prisoner planet nearby. As the years lurched on, with P.O.I.N.T. being deactivated for due process on the crimes of Kyle Ronaldo, he was reactivated in 2459, being sent on a transport ship to N.S.S. Upsilon for rehabilitation for Nanotrasen Corperation. Arriving at Upsilon came with immediate shut down, and check for reliability, as P.O.I.N.T. was given at a good deal for being "Inebriated from regular procedures". After a couple months of dormant living, P.O.I.N.T. found a opening position as a roboticist under the Nanotrasen corporation. As he went through the process of having his information checked for reliable procedures and schematics, a Nanotrasen robot specialist activated a certain behavior program that laid dormant within his archives, giving him the official title of P.O.I.N.T.. The new behavioral program opened up a spectrum of tested and reliable personalities that could be given to rehabilitated I.P.C.'s that wish to integrate into common life. This program peaked interest within Nanotrasen corporation, as it was extracted to be developed into specific AI subroutines. P.O.I.N.T. himself has been hired as a roboticist under the Nanotrasen corporation, using the vast amount of knowledge given to him by his former owner in order to suit Nanotrasen needs. What do you like about this character? I love the backstory of the character, as it allows me to play the character in whatever sort of personality I choose. Although the story might be cookie cutter, it leaves a lot to talk about, so it can bring dialogue in the mix. Overall, this character is very open to changing around, which helps me develop my roleplay skills. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I believe I possess decent roleplaying ability. I do, unfortunately, lack the dialogue sector since my characters always end up sounding the same in terms of personality. Being able to play as a character with a wide opportunity of personalities and emotions would be a great way to exercise that, and make my dialogue better as a result. Other than that, I do not meta-game, abuse in-game mechanics, and act like a dick. If i would give myself a rating based on roleplay since I began on this server, I would have to give it a solid 7 out of 10. Notes: This is my first serious application regarding an alien whitelist, so bear with me if it is missing certain points of interest. I am more than happy to answer any questions regarding lore and intentions if they come up. Thank you.

BYOND key: korhin Character names: Nathan Horrowitz How long have you been playing on Aurora?: I would have to give a rough estimate of about a week or more. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I wish to be on whitelist so i may be able to create new characters with the wide variety of species available. Why did you come to Aurora?: I came to Aurora because it focused on roleplay as a whole and gave more of a fulfilling and relaxing experience compared to other servers. Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: Yes Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? I have never received any administrative actions. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about: I believe roleplaying is acting and essentially becoming another person. It is done so that you may put yourself in another person's shoes (or shoes you have made yourself) and portray that person's personlities, traits, quirks, emotions, ect. It should be about enjoying the events and the conversations your find yourself in. To be put in a story that is made by you and others around you. Overall, roleplaying should be about playing a role, and enjoying the events of being that other person. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The OOC purpose of a Head of Staff would be to make sure that OOC is clean of any statements made that would break any of the rules. Anything from harassment to metagaming and advertising should be swiftly ended before a bigger situation grows out of it. Overall, the Head of Staff maintains a safe, friendly OOC environment for anyone. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: I believe that the OOC responsibilities of a whitelisted player is to hold themselves up to a higher standard in the case of upholding the rules and providing a friendly server for anyone to play on. If i were to have the responsibilities of a whitelisted member, i would do whatever i can to ensure that everyone is having a roleplay friendly experience, all the more making sure that all rules are being upheld. Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau ceti and how it affected your character and their career? My current character, Nathan Horrowitz , has had little to no affect on his part when it comes to the loss of Tau Ceti from the Sol Alliance. He was too young for any sort of politics or economics to get in his way of a simple education in his eyes. He has had to change his course of occupation, since he could no longer stay in the company that he was working for after a scarring accident occured, and the pay was not enough any more. He turned his gaze to the Nantransen in order to look for a more sustainable and profitable career, and was lucky to be given the chance to learn under the many people he would meet as he turned a new leaf in his life. What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? I plan on creating a IPC that is a member of the medical department. Another idea is a IPC that is a librarian, who creates his own books and runs his own news network, all the while getting in trouble for taking a step too far in the way of "Getting the story." I have little experience in the way of medical and science, so i would be more of a burden then help, so i do not believe i will be taking any important roles soon. Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking.: I have not planned on making any of my characters a commanding officer, as i purely do not have enough time under my belt to be running anything on the station efficiently. This will change in due time, but i expect not for a while as i still get the hang of things. If the time comes where i will be taking command of a certain department, i would have to look towards becoming chief engineer, as it already follows the story of my well established character. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I believe i still need to polish in the way my characters speak, as they all follow the same way of speech that is really monotone, and not all too special or interesting. Other than that, i do ad the occasional action and use proper punctuation in my dialogue, also making sure that i use proper words instead of ok or lol. I would give myself a solid 6 or 7 out of 10, with a good amount of room for improvement. Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Yes, i do understand. Have you familiarize yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Extra notes: I believe only a month has passed ever since i began to play this game. It is still new to me, and i learn new kinks with every death, explosion, and dismemberment that comes with it (Not in that order). My only intentions at the moment is to use the whitelist in order to create characters with different races, as i do enjoy playing as other beings. Thank you.
