BoryaTheSlayer

Okay. Hi! I am glad that you took your time with this after you first contacted me to check your application draft. First things first, formatting. Please don't put everything in bold. Just make the questions in bold and leave your answers as regular text. I am not sure what you mean by "under the eyes of the Republic of Biesel", but the Republic of Biesel is THE government that resides within the Tau Ceti system. And, also, I have to doubt the fact that Korosh became a high-ranking officer in just 3 years. And I should probably put this here just to clear any misunderstanding: From the HoP page on our wiki. He could, of course, get the degree after his work on the frontier ship, but I wanted to just clear this out of the way. It'd also be nice to know just what kind of ship it was and how his experience as an officer aboard that ship is relevant to the qualifications required to be a Head of Personnel. That being said, this is not a +1 or a -1 yet. I have not seen you play that much so I will refrain from posting my opinion here, but I hope that you take in the points mentioned above. Good luck!

Just look at this man getting so much positive posts left here. I'mma join them too. I love your work and I think you're very easy to work with from what I've seen. +1 pretty cool guy

Hi! Thanks for the answers to the questions. I'll ask you regarding the Frontier Alliance-- do you have ideas as to what you plan to do? I have to ask this because me and Pegasus are currently working on expanding Frontier lore already. I want to hear your thoughts on this to understand that our ideas won't clash should you be accepted.

Yeahhh, I am aware of that, and this is something that I wanted to tread carefully with. I do not plan to play a man-hating lizard woman--if I wanted to do that, I'd have Reshessi grow up in the Queendom. The idea here is that Reshessi, who has been treated equally in times of distress(the poor life in the outskirts of Sahltyr and the initial journey through the Wasteland), actually finds herself almost as miserable as back then, despite having a seemingly stable life and all the necessary means of survival. The decision to leave for Tau Ceti was influenced by Drifting Across the Sands and the volunteers, both of whom she has spent a lot of time with, preferring their company to that of the other Sinta, as well as her coming to a conclusion that she can not have a happy future on Moghes, seeing how everything always seems to be going in a downward spiral(whether she goes, trouble follows). I do not exactly have quips in mind, besides, perhaps, the fact that she might feel ashamed to talk about her past-- and, considering that Unathi prefer to be addressed by their clan name rather than their first name, she might be hesitant to respond and/or frown when she is addressed as Dorviza, since she essentially abandoned her clan for selfish reasons. This is another idea that I would like to explore with her-- the place of egoism in Unathi. Going back to the "I DON'T NEED NO MAN" trope, I hope to avoid doing that--I have intentionally made it so that Reshessi starts off as more or less traditional and would act appropriate to her social status, keeping her opinion to herself so as to avoid trouble, and probably opening up to other species, or, perhaps, sympathetic Sinta.

Upside Down Eleven! Reconstruction of Fourteen and Fifteen! With the acquisition of many parts of district 11, 14 and 15 the Mendell Labor Organization has stated that they will turn much of the acquired derelict structures in district 11 into homes for their personnel with buildings which follow the same idea being constructed in district 14 and 15 in order to shorten the transit time their personnel has to undergo. The MLO has also unveiled their district centers which is currently located in district 11, 14 and 15 which is aimed to provide jobs to those who are in need of them while offering a variety of advantages akin to some of the larger cooperations. Developments continue in district 11 as the MLO has now announced the project which has been kept hidden from public eyes for the last week, calling it "Upside Down Eleven", a project aimed at bringing the district to new glory while also testing new methods to increase the effective space which can be utilized in city planning by moving the parts of district 11 they acquired below ground. Upside Down Eleven will be receiving it's first access station in the coming months, the MLO funding the project without government support which caused another wave of suspicion from district 12 due the questionable origin of these funds. The project was allegedly planned years in advance but only now realized however a majority of information to what Upside Down Eleven will look like is still kept from public eyes. Meanwhile district 14 and 15 will also see a surge of activity from the MLO as they've started to reconstruct the destroyed factories they acquired in the district, while also constructing additional factories to support their sudden growth in district 11. District 15, on the other hand, will see much of the acquired land cleared of buildings. The MLO has offered to hire those who would lose their house in the process, a move which has been heavily criticized by the inhabitants of district 14, but so far met no government challenge due to them possessing the property rights to these areas. Minor construction has already begun in district 15 with people complaining about the noise disturbance these constructions have caused so far. ((OOC: thanks to DaSmog for the article.))

Although I don't interact with Rooster's characters a lot in-game, I often observe his rounds and hear a lot of positive opinion about Crono from other players. This is not a definite +1 as I do not have much to personally judge you on, but I'd love to see your trial.

BYOND Key: BoryaTheSlayer Character Names: All these bad boys and gals. Species you are applying to play: Unathi What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Dark Green...-ish? RGB 23/78/44 to be exact. Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yesss. 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: Just like any other race in our setting, they have a different feeling about them that makes me want to play one, as well. Somewhat reminiscent of, perhaps, Edo period Japan, the Unathi have a lot of ideas for a player to play around with, especially with all these recents additions for Unathi outside the Hegemony, i.e. Aut'akh, Grim Compact, and the Wasteland factions. I've had a lot of interesting concepts swimming in my mind for Unathi, but the recent addition to the Unathi lore by Geeves finally made me apply. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Aside from all the physiological and biological differences, sociologically, Unathi are far more bound by tradition than humans. The most apparent examples of this are the code of honor(or the Star Code for the pirates),the various religions tied to different Unathi groups, their feudal society consisting of various social classes, and so on. And on the topic of religion, Unathi are also heavily religious, be it that they follow the Th'akh, the Sk'akh and the various heresies. Frankly, despite me finding it hard to make religious character as I myself am not a religious person, the well-written religions of Unathi and Tajara are worth investing in for me and I have recently overcome this difficulty of mine, so I hope to utilize these religious elements well in my characters. Oh, and, well, I guess the unathi history also creates a unique perspective for them, you know, considering the contact war and all. Character Name: Reshessi Dorviza Please provide a short backstory for this character: It's kinda lengthy, so... spoiler. What do you like about this character? Despite sharing some of the themes with another character of mine, a Tajara IAC paramedic, I have worked on taking Reshessi in a different direction. She has suffered extensively through her life, and the injustices against her, despite being the norm in the society she was a part of, did not sit with her and she took action. She is still young and I'd love to see where she will end up through the interactions with the crew on Aurora, especially the Unathi. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I dunno, I'm a pretty cool bean if I do say so myself, but there's always room for improvement. I've stated the various problems I see in my RP and I still believe it's my slowness in writing and minor unwillingness to be the initiator in interactions. Notes: I have two more definite concepts, albeit probably rather generic, for unathi characters in my mind that I will probably make shortly after I get the whitelist, considering that I have heavily considered using these concepts to apply at a much earlier point. Also give me love kthx. Also i love geeves and he is great kthx

Thank you for answering that quickly. That is reasonable, and I certainly want to see what you will bring to us once you're in the team. As someone who often plays Tajara, I'd really love to see all the things you'll make in the game and utilize them in my roleplay.

Great answers. I'm glad that you applied, Coalf, because I think you are the perfect fit for the Tajara lore team. Claim your rightful throne that position and own it, baybee. Now, some questions. You're probably not planning on bloating the Tajara lore any further, but I want to ask this anyway: Are you planning any completely new additions to the Tajaran lore, or only expanding on what already exists? Also, something that I was surprised to find on Allakai's application is the mention of naval culture. While I don't think we need a whole new social group of Tajara for that, I do think it is a topic that has a lot of place in the context of Tajaran lore, considering the geography of Adhomai. Do you have to say anything on this?

Hi! I really love your application and I see that you're enthusiastic about it. I'm also glad to hear that you're doing better now than you have when you were on the team last time. As someone who is new to the server I was not around for those times, but I can say that my interactions with you have been positive so far. There's not much to ask, in my mind, but I do have one thing to say: Even though everyone is afraid you'll get super technical and noone will understand the lore you will write, I for one, am always willing to learn something new through lore. I sincerely hope that you will use your real life knowledge on the topic of artificial intelligence to make good, cohesive lore that is presented in a manner that is readable to a layman. That is all I have to say for now. Good luck.

Alright, hi. Glad to see that you applied and I'd love to see you working in our team. Since I already talked to you about the essay in PM's, I'll just go straight to the questions: 1)I am glad to know you want to be diplomatic in case any issues with a player's IPC character arise, but I also want to know if you will be able to do what's right in case the perpetrator is being uncooperative. 2) Aside from trying to get the SLF arc going again, do you have any other plans? Are you going to try and maintain what is already there(and there is, in my opinion, enough synthetic lore already on the wiki), or will you be adding anything new? 3) What is, in your opinion, the essence of synthetic roleplay within our setting? There is no right answer to this, I just want to hear what you have to say about this.

If anything, I do want to see your IPC play because I know you're passionate and have grown a lot since we first met on the server. I know you're aware of the issue, but if you're gonna play Heph contractor, you can't really be janitor. Other than that, though, +1, baybee.

Alright! Hi, Schwann, was waiting for you to apply. I would love to hear your answers to the questions already posed, and also add some of mine. I know you wanna write for the frontier and I know you'd do great, but you gotta understand that we can't make Frontier Alliance the deepest faction in the lore(and keep in mind that we want it to still remain THE faction for freeform creativity). I appreciate your writing but you also have to consider that not everyone is willing to read 100 pages of lore for a single faction. Don't take this as me being apprehensive, I just want you to keep this in mind so me and Pegasus don't have to stand like a wall in front of whatever you wanna submit to the wiki. Now, the questions: Is there anything else you would like to work on in human lore? There has been a lack of corporate lore lately, and I, admittedly, don't have a lot of ideas as to what to do with it, so I hope you do. What you find to be the most troublesome, illogical, or any other adjective of the sort, piece of human lore?

I think Schev would be a great synth maintainer. I like you as a person, and this application, and your answers are very satisfactory. I am also extremely glad that you will be finishing what your master started. The essay is very inspiring; I had a rough time with playing synths lately, but reading this thread is a blast and might get me back to playing again. I don't really know what to ask as most here have already posed a lot of interesting questions, but for the sake of my own curiousity, I do have one question: Besides continuing the arc with SLF and Rudatek and this third antagonist group you mention, what is the general direction you're going to take? Will you largely keep things as they are right now, and only continue what has been started?

Okay! Hi. I like your application, Drago, and I am sure that you'd be a great addition to the team. I gotta ask, though: is Eridani all you plan on working with? I sincerely hope that you won't stop there in your tenure as a deputy on our team It's lonely here with just me and Pegasus. Also, I'm an idiot and skipped an important part of your app. I would keep the suit vs dreg conflict as it is and only work on expanding on Eridani. It is an integral theme to most eridanian characters and it works well.

B0ss, wiggles is a fun person to RP with and just to talk with in general. Even though he's a disgusting sec main, I'm always glad to see more people in command, so I'd love to see you in your trial.

Bump, considering my trial's supposed to be over

AAAAAAAAAAAAA. I love this doona. Diggiez, you're a great roleplayer, and dionae are finally getting some love, so I hope you get this whitelist and show people how fun these guys can be.

Back when Bear played security, he was on point with his knowledge of corporate regulations and station directives. He knows his stuff and is fit for the position, as far as I know. I'm glad to see that you applied, since I've been telling you to for a while

Matt is a REAL gamer and I love him. I love Walter and I see that you love him, too! I do wanna ask, tho. Considering you're putting an accent on the fact that you're not human at all, I have a concern: Are you just gonna play the straightman robot, absolutely all the time, no exceptions? I don't doubt your ability to RP, but I'm just worried that you may find that boring soon enough unless you have a very clear view of what you're going to do with this character. That being said, could have answered the other questions with more depth, but that is not really an issue either. A solid application, in my opinion. walter

Hi! Considering I reviewed the earlier drafts of this and helped you with this in a way(however I really don't wanna lie claim to this huge-ass work you've done since my contribution was minimal), I am just going to say this here that I freaking love it. But after having talked to Pegasus and Kyres, I gotta say that this is really big in comparison to the rest of the Frontier Alliance lore. Pegasus offered a compromise, however: We can condense this for the wiki, and have the link to the app posted should people want to read more about Himeo. Pinging @Mofo1995 for input on the said compromise.
