Johnny Mnemonic

I'm gonna go against the stream here, I'm gonna focus on more recent sights of Technokat's playstyle. Victor usually comes of as having a tendency to interpret the rules differently just so he can arrest someone, or knock something down. He's not nearly as confrontational as he used to be, albeit he does push for his ways. My concerns lay in seeing Technokat playing Victor esque Unathi the same way, except now he can get away with being confrontational. Lauren Blade comes off exactly as Jakers described, albeit i never tried talking to her extensively. I'm leaning more towards Jackboot's concerns too, seeing as an Unathi /is/ a tank While i believe OOC'ly Techokat probably improved somewhat, i will still be very reluctant as to approach his future Unathi, should he get one

ALRIGHT, GRAMMAR CHECKED TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES

BYOND Key: JohnnyMnemonic Character Names: James Crimson, Morgana Static, Hosea Reeliah, Dorothy Sublett. previously Wiliam Rydell How long have you been playing on Aurora: 5 months Species you are applying to play: Dionea 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 Ok Why do you wish to play this specific race: Because they're something you can't get out of playing a Taj or Unathi or Human or Skrell. Usually you can make just as compelling of a character that's human then you could making any of the others. Why Diona over IPC's? 1) there are tooooo many IPC's these days, and i would really like playing Dionea. Conspire2Ignite already kind of told me he would like to see me make one when i got turned into a black Diona by a wizard once. And Conspire is my senpai, i am jelly of his RP. Also Jenna's Diona, A Rose Amidst Gunpowder, served to inspire me to make this, as i also hold that character in high regard. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Conspire sort of set the precedence for how strange Diona are, and i intend to borrow a similar playstyle, also they learn differently, can survive in space, are slow and hard to touch and very curious, not overly talkative either, and the backstories aren't that commonly shared. Also have no idea what personal and mental space means, which IC means HUGS HUGS HUGS. They're also lovable, i mean, seriously, who could hate a Diona? Character Name: A Hard Measure Of Law Being Handed Out One Shell At A Time Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs "Carl, is that...oh no, don't tell me it it's-" "YUP, IT'S A DIONA NYMPH" Patton looked over his lab cheerfull lab assistant, he sighed deeply and stared at the green little shape in his assistants hands, Patton was a xenobiologist by trade, he knew better then to get close to one of them bitey ones. He looked back at Carl, "wait, how come /you/ got one?" "biology department" "WHAT?! Carl, you know you aren't supposed to accept anyth-" Carl rushed and placed a hand over Patton's mouth, which were intent to list reasons why that was a stupid idea regardless of being muffled or not. Carl pleaded, "hey, you want Research manager catching wind of this? shut it, please, i'll feed it and everything". Patton considered calling the higher ups, but briefly, he knew he would be blamed for his assistants misdoings, and also, Carl might be lazy and dumb, but he certainly isn't like his last partner. Patton shuddered remembering the now incarcerated silent bald person that tried his hand at commiting homicide by stabbing Patton not even a year ago. Patton quickly regained his senses and said, "alright, alright...what are you even gonna do with...it?" "Ah, i dunno, really, guess he'll just be my little chill buddy, hey, maybe he can even help out eventually, what do you think?", Patton swore under his breath, knowing full well now why he got ahold of one, avoiding work was Carl's forte. Carl and his diona sat down at the nearby chair in the corner, turning on the holoTV and plugging a holotape inside, Patton lacked any animals to work with in the absence of their benefactors sending any, so he resigned to watch the two. The lowly assistant grabbed a flask filled with something bubbly, placed a straw in it, and began drinking it as a dreadfully old movie came onto the holoscreen. The Diona seemed to replicate this as it dug something into Carl's flesh and began absorbing droplets of blood. This amused Patton. The next few days, The Diona grew exponentially, It didn't seem to venture outside much, but it sure loved the bright reflective screen of the holoTV and whatever was playing on it. It also proved to be more of a help around the lab then Carl did. When told this, Carl let out a quiet moan, his pale face staring at Patton almost pleadingly from the chair, Carl didn't look his prime these days. Patton thought to himself that perhaps it was time he reports this, before Carl bites the dust...then again, it was a really helpful Diona. 1 MONTH LATER Carl woke up. he must have fallen asleep at the chair again, when was the last time he had a proper meal again? The Diona was nuzzling him and watching the movies again. Sounds of exploding drug cartels filled his ears. He wished he could have got something other then hundreds of years old action movies, but the Sol Copyright laws were strict. He didn't seem to mind the Diona's constant biting or it's rough, painful, hard hugs as it nuzzled closer. The Diona was looking quite silly with it's new sunglasses, they were Carls originally. hopefully the Diona won't be affected by all these movies too hard...how long was it watching them anyway? he also noticed he was full of needle wounds, is Patton stabbing him with something to keep him alive? couldn't be the Diona still, Carl briefly wondered it was still taking genetic material from him, before passing out again 1 MONTH LATER Carl's funeral was fast and without much flare. He said in his will that he wishes to be spaced, however they were located on Earth and Carl didn't have any family of friends willing to pay for extravagant funeral processions. A group of suited up lawyers quickly settled on finding a loophole and chucking him off the side of a ravine. The "funeral" wasn't attended by anyone but the Diona and one very confused worker. The Diona was holding Carl's autopsy paper. It knew how to read. The paper clearly stated that Carl was "drained of his blood by a vampire". It was signed by Patton. The Diona very briefly wondered if Patton was a legitimate coroner, it never saw him cut open anything but slimes and cake. The Diona tipped his sunglasses as it watched it's friend hit the end of the ravine, Carl was only couple dozen years from retirment... The next day it returned to the lab, it sat down and watched one last movie. Getting up it said to itself "your move, creep..." before picking all the holotapes and making it's exit, It couldn't resist simply walking away, not without an explosion, but he didn't see any cocaine or bad guys around. He settled for just breaking the TV instead. Patton deeply regretted the loss of it's Diona, he died two weeks later due to a bald assistant shanking him in his laboratory while waiting for a shipment of slimes. The Diona wondered aimlessly for a while, it saw a sign saying "NT wants you!" He stared at the sign before being approached by a lawyer looking person, he wore what The diona could only describe as..."drug cartel-y". After a brief discussion, the silly looking person recommended applying for a place aboard the Space Science Station Aurora as a lab assistant. The Diona oriented it's sunglasses towards him, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" "what?" The diona pointed at a sign depicting a security officer. "what?“, the drug peddler looking scum repeated itself. The Diona rumblled, "Say what again, I DARE YOU, I DOUBLE DARE YOU, go ahead, make my day" "W-wh-i-can sign you up as a cadet?" "you're a disease and i'm the cure" "is that a yes...?" "yes" "phew...alright...just need your name now...“ "I am...the law..." "wait, are you being serious" "YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH" "alright then...the law...works for me" "i'll be back" And with that the Diona departed...to the waiting room...hopefully expanding it's dictionary some more What do you like about this character? It's a joke character meant to make fun of 80's action movies aswell as space 'nams. It also has an amazing backstory, if i do says sos myselfs. there's opportunity for both serious and joke playstyles here. but mostly joke ones. How would you rate your role-playing ability? depends what a person's average is, could be 2/10 if you're used to INTENSE RP HARDCORE REALISM ACTIUN. or it can be 20/10 if you've learned about roleplaying yesterday, also why does this question exist?

Seeking further feedback and critique on Hosea Reeliah and my psych, Dorothy Sublett Feedback on James Crimson welcome aswell

Brage, the only evidently super salty angry emotional motherfucker here is you, Cassy held back, meanwhile reading your earliest posts, you came off sounding like the angriest douche. I'm frankly insulted in her name. And if this gets locked, can we at least conclude that those charges were bullshit so people don't place mutiny and sedation charges instead of assault? Because security=/=command

this guy gets it. also, it's not really "sec was trying to RP" when you got people sticking engineers in perma because "oh they be mean". Yea i bet that would have made super great RP

Pinkie

So, these Blueshields went from being this fabulously dressed, lethal weapons carrying, whitelisted command besties antag killing machines to an overly glorified security guards with no licenses to kill, no lethals and they sound objectively worse then just designating a normal security officer to protection services. This sounds like it wouldn't even be worth it at this point. Maybe if it isn't whitelisted it could make some players get close to otherwise hard to approach command players and their lives, but i'm not sure that's the case. Im all up for this if it does remove security slots. It's one less department to worry about, and security is one of the most stacked department at any time anyway. Almost everyone that wants to play this sounds like a security player who can't get an opportunity to guard Command so they're making a job slot dedicated to it. Is that really favorable? I mean whitelisted captains and HoS's OOC jobs are to make a good RP environment, it probably SHOULD be their final word if a security goes and bodyguards people or not. Maybe make a thread to let whitelistees know you want this, but making an entire job, one that through the course of the thread got downgraded to sounding like a boring mess, sounds excessive to me. My suggestion is to remove security slots for this and don't give them lethals, if the emphasis seems to be "meatshield". Also those lethal weapons sound easily snatchable by any antag or chucklefuck if that's all they got to work with. Perhaps behind a safe or something, maybe some better armor however, as to not make them as imposing as secretaries. Personally, i dislike the idea though. But it might be bias, seems like a lot of people are into current tech guns and military and guns and armor and guns and giving security /more/ power and guns and mistaking combat for RP and guns, none of which appeal to me in the slightest, especially the guns, especially whe they're unimaginative

As Lore writers i believe you can do much better then to rely on a cheap accent to differentiate between a Skrell and a human. Personality>gimicks, afterall. Although the Skrell pattern makes sense lore wise, it's clearly making people hesitant to pick up the race, and the ones that do tend to ignore that piece of lore. So what's the point of having it around?

I also haven't seen much of bluesec, however i do enjoy fashionable characters. I would love to see the black upper one in security Good job btw

>lives in the whitest christianity dominated country ever All those movies and home entertainment devices lied to me!

Well, most richer countries have a large-ish population of black people, and i can kinda understand the interpretation of white being a snowflakey feature, doesn't mean being white is snowflakey all on it's on, but this is obviously all made on Frances's model of what she invisiones snowflakes to be. The glasses this is on the other hand really confuse me, why the gender difference?

Oooooh...we have way different standards for snowflakes. Well...that and i'm judging myself too harshly.

Doing this one character at a time, James, fabulously perceived IAA implanted with a loyalty implant beholding artificial intelligence that stops anything it perceives as non professional conduct Actual Snowflake level:12/20 Snowflake level:410, semi snowflake Morgana, started off as a CSI self insert Snowflake actual level: 14/20 Snowflake level:740(hahaha only ten points to dangerously snowflake) Hosea, an incompotent heavily religious love and peace promoting bald 50 year old security cadet who solves every security issue with a bible and had a traumatic past and also can't do 10 push ups without dying and is also a chaplain. Can't understand technology Snowflake actual level:40/20 Snowflake leve:235 not a snowflake Dorothy, nazi-ish psychologist 85 year old grandma Actual snowflake level:20/20 Snowflake level:215, not a snowflake

>never played engineering >no idea what i'm even looking at As soon a someone explains this i'm so ready to clap hard.

Ok, but after you accused Taivanna(and others?) of being a "powergaming asshole", and brought into question everyones ability to roleplay, your next logical progression to being questioned 'bout your behavior is to call Tai a cunt and be making passive agressive remarks. Point 1: Tai wasn't being snide, you were tip toeing the line even before the cunt remark Point 2:you seem to get upset over really overall insignificant matters, perhaps the problem is still in you?

An admin decision seems fitting, it was they who had a deal with him afterall, and he broke it.

Well, seeing as his original ban was literally He most likely won't imporove and probably made the deal he did out of pure desperation to get back on the server. His current offence granted isn't as severe, and i doubt this will be/was the only instance of him getting angry and insulting someone. He technically should be banned again i guess, due to the poor deal he made. But then again if no one was hurt, andhe has apparently shown improvement, a purely principle ban leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Bleh, i'm gonna stay away from picking a side this time

I dunno, is it really a good practice to ban someone over being rude? I mean, ok, he thought you were a cunt, that's kinda insulting, but is it really worthy of a whole complaint and trying to perma ban him again for breaking this supposed temporary guideline. I don't know, maybe its just a feeling of being disensitiezed, because i personally don't see insults as anything that bad, i mean someone calls you a name once, just who gives a shit, just tell them to piss off or something and move on with your life is generally my conduct. Ok, so hes displaying personal insults in an argument. And being slightly paranoid(?), evident from him thinking the staff was out to crush his ambitions the first time around and now implying Taivanna was also saying stuff when it's evident she has not from the logs. Question is will this impact roleplay for more then 2 minutes after the insult when it was spoken? And shoul we really ban someone over baseless insults?

Agreeing with this. Security rushed her, hasn't made any attempt to fear or panic RP by my understanding, and they got shot. Even with Dire having an antidote they killed her. I enjoyed roleplaying with Dire priorly, a perma ban seems like overly harsh

Yes, i was, albeit i wasn't even aware there was a difference personally (i don't generally interact with or play ERT). Thank you for correcting me Accomodating accordingly- ERT commanders> captain>ERT leading trooper>heads of staff>ERT>crew>synthetics As for murdering captains, if the validity of the loyalty implant can be brought into question, sidestepping the chain is as probably valid

Not sure about heads of staff. What about Captain>ERT commander>heads of staff>ERT>crew>synthetics With ERT taking orders from both heads of staff and Commander, but taking precedence to commanders orders In emergencies this would encourage acting captains, and ERT will still retain some modecum of power if the ERT commander was played by a competent player, while the station can still retain independence with the whitelisted captain

Row row (Kudos to anyone who gets the reference)

Watch everyone make a mute character now

>Inb4 every christian going for this version. Can't wait to call heresy on all this though, and have old man panic attacks as half the station dooms themselves to hell with this radical belief. Swearing in God's name is also good heresy material. Hopefully people will convert and not retcon, the initiation ritual seems fun. +1 Will they be using the bible as basis aswell? Or should they get their own unique version. Because this is important to keep in mind when i beat them with the bible spread the gospel to them. Probably the latter, but i wanted to ask anyway
