Gillian is a great writer and has an abundance of well-rounded and personable characters. I am certain they'll do great with the Unathi whitelist. +1

I like the idea of this, although in getting it wiki-ready, it's coming out to be a bit too short. Are you able to expand on the sect or potentially brainstorm additional sects?

Thank you for applying! In regards to Artemis' backstory, Why does Artemis go by she/her pronouns? Why wasn't she worked as hard as the other synthetic staff? How did the other synthetics ostracize her? What was her role in these medical facilities? What will her role be on the Aurora? Seven years is a long time, what happened during that time? If Artemis comes with exorbitant maintenance costs, why did Nanotrasen opt to purchase it? What sort of reeducation and deprogramming was done? Lastly, if I need to approach you over whitelist issues in the future, will there be any issues?

Thanks! I think so long as you keep in mind how self preservation would drive an IPC, everything will work out. Nonetheless, your application demonstrates an understanding of IPCs. Accepted.

An IPC intentionally acting inefficient, especially where the question of 'which chassis is better' is being put to question, would go against self preservation. However if you're open to tailoring it to not be intentional, and that the IPC continued it's work to the best of it's ability while enduring what could be considered depression, I am fine moving ahead with the application.

Sounds good, thank you for the additions and clarifications! Your application demonstrates an understanding of IPCs, accepted.

Thank you for applying! In terms of the backstory, what chassis is Franky? What occurred during the investigation that prompted Franky to consider the 'why'? I'll make a point to make the date more clear on the wiki but Konyang was under the Solarian government until recently and so freedom would not have been available to your IPC until 2463.

Thank you for the clarifications and expansions. The only thing I'm still uncertain is the point here, which I may have not been clear enough in asking about it. Did HC choose to work less than optimally due to feeling useless? Or is it more than the circumstance of it's lack of repairs meant that it continued to perform sub-optimally?

Sorry, by how they differ systematically I meant legally, not the brain itself. Are you able to go into detail there?

Thank you for applying, are you able to greatly expand on the question of how they differ from humans? Consider the systematic or Aurora specific differences. What is an IPC beyond mimicry? If HC was programmed only to communicate concisely and return to work, how are they able to form relations now that they're on the Aurora? What are their thoughts on freedom, or their own identity? Where did they work? Twenty years is a lot of time. What more happened in that time that shaped the character? Why do they go by HC? Why would an IPC, feeling useless, opt to intentionally work less-than-optimally? If NT went through the burden to repair the unit, why didn't the original company do so?

Thank you for applying! Could you go into detail on how they differ systematically from humans? In regards to the backstory, IPCs cannot become free in Solarian space, so Luna will not work. It seems like a stretch for the hospital to allow or facilitate Lara working in nightclubs. Why did they allow this? Why did Lara want an apartment? How was Lara able to juggle acquiring her freedom while renting an apartment? Lara seems to largely print money throughout the backstory. Why did she opt to change her name? Moreover, there's adopting a new religion, but why become an initiate?

Aaaa I love all of them. Do you take commissions?

Thank you for the additions! Your application offers an understanding of IPCs. Accepted.

You are a great writer, creative but most importantly communicative and level headed. I have had zero issues working with you and you have my full support. +1 Do you believe that you'll be able to navigate and address conflicts that come up between team members? Not that I have any particular doubts, but it may be the greatest change in responsibilities moving forward.

Personally, and I don't hope to cause any offense, but I do not believe you'd be good fit for the role of the loremaster deputy. You have a lot of passion, you're active and a fantastic writer, which is great. However, I have had numerous communication issues with you while on the team, some where you have overstepped your bounds as a maintainer, that do not lead me to believe you'd be the right fit for what is a role that requires good communication and management skills.

This is precisely the concern I have as well. I wonder how it would compound as well with Security typically not arresting or charging their own, antag or not.

Thank you for the clarifications and expansions. In regards to her positronic as well as the 40 years she would have been alive, I will need those details. The whitelist application is a way of proving that you have read and understood the lore and so with that comes the downside that an application cannot be particularly vague or open ended that a character, made after getting the application, can. How has her experiences shaped her perspective, ideals or outlook? How does she feel about freedom? Thirteen years is a long time. Does she keep in contact with the daughter still? Where does she live?

Hello, Thank you for applying. Are you able to greatly expand on the question of how IPCs differ from humans? Consider the social, hierarchical and specific things to Aurora lore. Moreover what do you mean by this? In terms of the backstory, I'm not sure I follow the origin on Mars. She was made here? Assembled from parts? Was she dumped here? If so, why did the original company dump her over selling her? Especially considering the value of a shell chassis and positronic brain. Why would the father choose to donate Trill over selling her to NT, or continue to own her while leasing her to the company? How old is Trill?

You've put a lot of thought and work into the recent Unathi clothing PR and it shows. The designs are distinctive, well-sprited and all around amazing. I have no doubt you'd be a great addition to the team. +1

Understood, thank you for the clarifications! Your application demonstrates an understanding of IPCs, accepted!
