An expansion on synthetics as well as an update following the KOTW arc has been added to Konyang’s page. Additionally, gestures of prayer as well as the Konyang holy sites have been added to the Trinary Perfection page. (Art of the gestures has been pushed to a later release.) Credit to Schwann for the Konyang expansion and Trinary Perfection gestures. https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Konyang https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=The_Trinary_Perfection#Gestures_of_Prayer

Denying this application for reasons explained via Discord. If you’d like to discuss the matter further you’re welcome to reach out to me nonetheless.

Some recent stuff I’ve been making in Procreate.

Can you format the story so it isn’t a wall of text? In addition to an expansion on the backstory. How did the character make their way to the Aurora, why, so on and so forth. Who owns them then and now, etc etc. Moreover, what is meant by this portion here? On the topic of ownership and citizenship, they are separate things. An IPC can be self-owned but not possess any citizenship. The passage there is ultimately referring to synthetics whose owner passes or run away synthetics from other star systems. Each star system and sometimes even planets treats their IPCs differently. Sorry, my question or the application’s?

Hello, thank you for applying! Are you able to greatly expand on the backstory? As it stands, it’s too bare bones. I recommend trying to tell a story with that portion of the application. Moving on, what do you mean by this? Moreover this portion here? Presently the only way to acquire a Biesel citizenship is through the TCFL or the Golden Deep. Lastly, if I am reading this right, you haven’t read the IPC wiki?

Removing the second bartender slot would be an awful change. A full bar is just about impossible to navigate AND rp in. Having a second person on staff means both the players and bartenders get to have more meaningful interaction between one another. Moreover, on those shifts where no one decides to visit the bar, the bartender potentially has another RP buddy.

There have been a few instances where I voted extended, it won, and only after it won I went "Wait why did I do that, I dont actually want to play". Which was honestly unfair of me to do. I think by imposing this, it will mean the player has to decide "do I really want to play" or, "do I want to vote, not knowing the manifest". As such I think this would be a good change.

An easy +1. Cylean's RD was communicative with my character in cargo when transporting an exosuit and assisted in answering a few questions that could have otherwise been neglected. Seldom people play HOS during their trial so I applaud you for your courage.

I’ve found that in the two interactions I’ve had with Valetzrhonaja, they have been particularly rude to cargo over the common frequency and in regards to what boils down to a communication issue about the phoron canisters. I don’t know if it’s a character trait however I am a bit pensive that the same character will be in a command role. That being said I haven’t rped with the character in full and I may have misinterpreted what I saw so this is more a +0.

Sounds great. If you want, you can keep the character as a shell. The shell chassis’ could have been purchased but the intelligence, databases and whatnot manufactured by the company of choice. Your application offers an understanding of IPCs and the ability to apply said concepts to character creation. Accepted.

Turns out I can do my usual style in Procreate. Although it seems the forums are compressing my images?? Gulrez

Thank you for applying! I like the personification to Trace. So, Nanotrasen isn’t in the business of manufacturing IPCs however joint projects where NT commissions another is however possible. Or that the IPC was purchased by Nanotrasen. That being said, where was Trace manufactured and by who? Has Trace worked exclusively for Nanotrasen since being manufactured? How do they feel about the prospect of being owned or even self owned?

Faye is a great writer, personable and friendly. I am certain they can handle the role of command and do so swimmingly. +1

Happy to see more applicants. I am unfamiliar with your work however there’s one question I wish to ask all Tajara deputy’s applying: There has been a lot of recent contention surrounding Tajara and issues of LGBT. Some feel deeply uncomfortable by the present lore while others don’t want to see the race lose a point of conflict. What are your opinions on the matter?

LGBT issues and how it pertains to Tajara lore is incredibly important and I appreciate it’s mention. There’s a lot of OOC contention between those who want it gone and those who want to keep it and so I feel it’s appropriate that it’s addressed in every Tajara deputy application. However, I do not feel that it’s mention warrants attacking the applicant outright. In fact, if you want a target, I mentioned to Cylean in passing that I’d likely be asking every applicant their opinion on the matter. Working as staff can often be draining or cause for burn out. Do you believe you will be able to navigate the deputy responsibilities in addition to moderator work? Are there steps you will take to try to mitigate these possibilities? How?

I enjoyed the round where you came to the bar, interacted with the crew and spoke on some recent matters pertaining to some of the Zavodskoi contractors. I am certain you can handle the rp responsibilities of a liaison. +1 Feel free to advertise your application at round end also!

This is a really creative concept, acceptable within the lore and I would love to see it implemented. +1

Looks good! Given how seldom these variants are used I don’t imagine anyone will have any issue.

I do still feel as though the issue of the warehouse is counter intuitive to gameplay and gameplay expectation. Which is why I feel many assume the warehouse must be sorted and sent out. Otherwise why have all the crates, and the system in place to easily deliver said items? People may say the warehouse doesn’t need to be sorted here, but that I don’t feel as though that stops a HoP or Quartermaster demanding it is sorted in game. Maybe just halving the amount that spawns would solve this however? If say we want to keep the garbage items.

Thank you for the clarifications as well as the expansion. Your application demonstrates an understanding of IPCs, accepted. I would jump on getting the custom item application up asap, as that will likely take a substantial amount of time.

Thank you for applying! I hope to eventually give shells the ability to have stripped away synthetic skin, likely applied as a ‘body marking’ however I see no issue with the custom load out item in the meantime! It’ll likely be quite sometime before we see a more official version after all. Nevertheless. Are you able to expand on how IPCs are different from humans, excluding mechanics? What made Jennifer Ashe take an interest in Hearse? What does Miss Ashe do now that she has lost her business? How does Hearse feel about this? Both the integration into her family, and the subsequent loss of her business over his person. Is the family just Miss Ashe or are there more members? How does Hearse feel about freedom? How does Hearse feel about death, given his profession’s close relationship with it?

Thank you for clarifying your answers. I wanted to see if my Deputies had any questions but they don't. That being said, your application demonstrates an understanding of IPCs and the ability to apply said concepts to character creation. Accepted. Fair, and I figured this was the case. The rebranding date can be found in articles but we should make it a point to add it to the wiki.

What I fear from this sentiment is that we’ll likely just see a decease of events all together. There was a halloween event last year that, although silly, left me with a memory and something that broke up the general monotony of traitors stealing the spare and mercenaries taking hostages but offering no demands. Perhaps it’d be worth giving players a sort’ve concept of what to expect (ie. silliness, seriousness etc) but beyond that, I don’t know.

Thank you for the clarifications. Due to your account being new, I took a bit longer with your application, so sorry for any wait there. However, your application demonstrates an understanding of IPCs. Accepted!

That's fine by me! Thank you. I am uncertain how the player idea that it must be sorted can go away but maybe a reduction of items will make that process all the more easier on the brain. Although, one issue with the current system is that it relies on the technician to know a good item from a junk item.
