As a long time whitelistee, from a time where seeing one of out species was few and far apart (it still kinda is) I have personally spent a lot of in game time explaining dionae biology to crewmates. I would find a retcon of their biology/lore a little disruptive. Perhaps instead add new kinds of dionae who are symbiotic with fungi? As an added note. Boggle mentions disliking the dionae being likened to treents. But at the same time, we speak slow, and have to manually develope 1-2 emotions over the course of what could potentially be lifetimes for other species. I was under the impression that cold and unfeeling was the idea. With the wiggle room lore wise to allow actual emotional development.

seeing as im currently logged out of the forums (God dam forums. never remember your login after 30 days). Im messaging you here. Im familiar with github, but an incredibly rusty with everything else. Im interested in lectures. (This is a copy paste from a DM)

Reporting Personnel: Drifting On Debris Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Xenobotanist Game ID: b2X-ahxf Personnel Involved: Cleo Ora: My Research director (HOR). First person to be informed so i could escalate the issue Uriel Evans: The Captain, Given Evidence of This incident and directly questioned offender. Fernando Gonzales: Chief Medical Officer, The person in question, Gave me a bottle of hazardous materials and conducted themselfs very unprofessionally. Time of Incident: Real Time: 8:30pm GMT-7 (roughly) 8/27/2019 Location of Incident: Medical Reception Lobby Nature of Incident: [ ] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ ] - Destruction of Property [X] - Neglect of Duty [ ] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [X] - Misconduct [ ] - Other _____ (Place an x in the box that applies. If other, replace line and specify.) Overview of the Incident: I am a Dinoa. We Dinoa do not function biologically like most species. We feed and heal using light and radiation. Conventional medicine does not effect us. Because of this, We went down to medical in order to get a prescription of Radium Pills. Radium Pills can be used as first aid as well as supplementing us during times of darkness. The pharmacist would not supply us with a prescription of Radium. Stating that his computer was on the fritz and he could not retrieve any prescription information. So we went to the Reception Desk. ((OOC NOTE: I have gone through the process of getting a radium prescription IC in previous rounds)). The CMO greeted us. When we asked about getting a prescription paper he stated that due to budget cuts he could not print forms. We asked what would need to be done to get a prescription at that time. The response to this was the CMO sighing and going into a back room. They came back and gave us a UNLABLED spray bottle. They stared "You get one spray". Due to the spray bottle not being labled, and the Unprofessional-ism demonstrated , I went back to my lab (Xenobotany) And checked the contents of the bottle. It contained 10 units of Radium, and 5 units of Phoron. This greatly upset us, CMO should not be distributing chemicals without prescription, let alone TWO chemicals, both highly hazardous to crew life IN A SPRAY AIRBORNE FORM. We reported this to our RD, and then to the captain. Unfortunately during questioning from the captain, the CMO cryod. Did you report it to a Head of Department or IAA? If so, who?: Uriel Evans: Captain Actions taken: Once i provided the bottle and its contents to the captain, he personally went to question the CMO. But the CMO went to cryo. Additional Notes: No Additional Notes ((OOC I do not believe someone in a position of power ESPECIALLY MEDICAL should be so rude AND risk causing damage to crew. I do have screenshots of how i was treated if a different report needs to be filled, I asked what form to fill out and got linked this one.))

I do not. He would have to get his degree again.

Having lost memory, my character would have boarded the aurora as a guest at first. Likely enjoying dynamic of the crew. Due to the drastic changes, he would have to go re register for citizenship (probably Sol because his rescuers were human) later as well as develope himself a little more before joining the aurora (a period of yeara). He does have the same interests because he can remember being a scientist and enjoying that.

After recieving some advice and having some misconceptions cleared up I removed the sloppily tacked on section at the end of backstory and changed character name.

That last bit about age helps A LOT. And i will probably adjust my applicatuon to fit much better tonight. My problem was i want to RP a more inexperienced gestalt. One that would still show emotion, but not have advanced emotional control. (Keep in mind the character will be adjusted to still meet NT employment regulations)

I have looked at the emotions section. But im still a little confused. Is it because morning the dead briefly is uncharacteristic of the race? Or because he decided to honor the crew tradition of informing families?

I was thinking the minimum age for most jobs. So 25. With the other nymphs being within the range of 5-19.

Hes meant to be younger (Compared to most gestalts, because of how old they can get). If rework is needed please tell me. Im greatly open to improvement or suggestions.

I hope that the chatacter name is ok. I know diona arent supposed to dwell on deaths for too long. At the point of veing at aurora, telling the families would already be done.

BYOND Key: Art of WASD Character Names: Joeseph Steel, Joe Steel, Jerold Steel (All related, Jerold is main character) Species you are applying to play: Dionaea 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 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: Science jobs are my favorite of all the occupations. The Diona are supposed to be curious experamentive beings so i felt like it would fit how i play and RP the game already. Also, through reading the lore of the species many RP ideas popped into my head. On top of that, I rarely see anyone playing Diona on the server, to the point where new players don't even know what they are. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Diona, unlike humans, are beings that consist of many smaller beings. Essentially like a hive mind that acts one, but not a hive mind. (because each individual nymph still has a mind. They just work all as one). Because of this, Diona take a little longer to respond to conversation, or take action on something. This is why they are "Slow". While 1000x faster than what a council of humans could do, the "Council" of diona still have to communicate and reach a decision/finish a sentence. What is also unique is the Dionas ability to survive in many environments, given that they at least have some form of radiation to feed off and stay functioning. They also have remarkable intelligence. Even the smallest nymph has an amount of intelligence, even understanding language (other than root song). On the subject of Language, the Diona can understand almost all languages given preparation (AKA some DNA) but cannot necessarily SPEAK all languages due to their physical limitations. The Diona are more likely to speak only their native language and common, with other languages being more of emulations of said speech. Character Name: Drifting On Debris (ID Name) Drifter (Nickname) Please provide a short backstory for this character Drifting On Debris (previously known as Planter Of Many) was once a well valued crew member on a research and transport ship further studying the various forms of life found throughout space. Including but not limited to: Fungi and spores that drift on solar winds, Less documented but ultimately unimportant plant life on planets, Space carp and their behavior, and how various forms of life (other than Diona) deal with "metabolizing" radiation (Drifter's personal favorite). This is all that Drifter On Debris can recall in detail. While out researching, some unknown force (not anomalous, just unknown) violently tore into the research vessel, venting key crew and passengers into space. Drifter was able to save some crew, getting them back into armosphere environments, but was not nearly fast enough to save many. Shortly after that again the force tore the hull. Now, nearly completely destroyed the ship was useless. And to make things worse, a school of space carp had been attracted by the commotion. In a quick decision of survival, Drifter split apart and the nymphs scattered into remaining ventilation ducts, lockers, and anywhere else they could go to escape being torn to shreds. The crew floating in space however, were not so fortunate. A better death than suffocation and freezing in space at least. When the carp had migrated away, and the ship was relatively safe, the nymphs formed back together. The sudden tearing apart to hide and survive the carps had resulted in a loss of memory. Some of the nymphs did not survive. Once Drifter pieced his mind back together (Literally = P) he took a moment to look out into space from his chunk of debris. The torn clothing, some frozen blood, and the light from their PDAs was all that remained of the crew. Having lost some of his nymphs in the process and losing many bits of memory, Drifter dawned the name "Drifter In Debris". It was 3 years floating in space before the wreck that was once the ship was discovered by traveling salvagers. They took in Drifter and promised to drop him off at the nearest habitable station. Aurora. What do you like about this character? I like Drifters new identity and the aspect of essentially starting a new life and learning things all over again after the destruction of the ship. How would you rate your role-playing ability? 6/10 My roleplay style has had to adapt to the more serious lore focused roleplay of aurora, but i feel like i have been coming along well. Developing my characters along side others. Notes: I had a little bit of a rough start on the server while i got used to all the RP rules. A few warnings were issued. (When i started playing i did read and follow the basic rules, but had not gone and seen all the important lore, specifically how NT operates and the higher standards of RP)
