BYOND Key: Donofnyc3 Character Names: Unwani Rimirdalv, Oen'g Issek How long have you been playing on Aurora: Not... Long, Mostly a few rounds here and there when I'm really feeling spessmehns Species you are applying to play: Tajara! What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Blonde/Wheat Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Have so! Why do you wish to play this specific race: Honestly, it's less the species itself, more two characters I've been wanting to pick up who are Tajara. I've really tried to get into the RP with Unwani and that was a mistake due to his style of robotics research (More transhuman/resleeving) which isn't how Aurora does their cyborgs, and ...Oen'g's just not that fun. I don't find medical fun anymore. Really, I'd like to try my big idiot cat. Play less stressful civilian jobs, turn off my brain IC and OOC and just enjoy the atmosphere. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: I'm not gonna go the route of: DERE BIG CATS and more ...Go into the biology. For one, they're heavily suited for colder, more tundra climates, it shows in their thick fur, their sleep cycles(and night vision), their size and mass. The fur and hide's an obvious protection from cold. Their sleep cycle is more fitting to longer planetary rotations and day cycles. Their eyes support nocturnal activity for equally long night cycles. and their 'lithe' frame and mass is good for low and efficient energy and calorie use. Emotionally and neurologically? I'm not sure there's much to say. They're a sapient species with a wide variety of behaviors and views. Character Name: Nah'him Al-Nasser Please provide a short backstory for this character: In all honesty, Nah'him is ...To be blunt, not bright. The eldest brother in a trio of three siblings, he's about 7' 2", somewhat built and a pretty naive meathead. Coming from a very lower class family. He had to work early in his life to help support it, and given it had only been a decade since the recent overthrowing of the ruling body. His education suffered badly. He reads and writes poorly and has a poor grasp on most basic subjects. He's had quite a few manual labor jobs, most recently at the spaceport of his home city. It was little surprise he had gotten mixed up with one of the local cartels who paid Nah'him to smuggle contraband in the cargo he was responsible to unload and offload. Currently he's been released from medium security prison for a five year sentence after moderate assault on a peace officer and possession of contraband following an inspection that was based off an anonymous tip. Relying on his brother's word and (Mostly) clean record to get entry level employment and move on with his life. What do you like about this character? That he's there to play when I really want to play something simple, fun and engaging on their own merits. It's easy to make my own fun when all I have is a poorly educated oxen of a tajara, some coworkers and a society he's unfamiliar with and behind on. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I don't know how to answer this honestly without sounding self indulging. To repeat like I said in my unathi app? I have a habit of making snowflakes that somehow work in the setting they're given and play more like a good support cast, and I'm happy with that. I've played several tabletop systems, MMO's, and other RP outlets and come out of most of them with positive experiences. Notes: *If it wasn't obvious by now, Nah'him is the older brother of Omnir, played by Jams. *Why's he so tall? Genetic quirk, it's also very not good on his joints, bone structure and heart.

Someone honestly remembers my borg before I got the custom sprite? Or was it after? That was you?!! Yes it was! I'd play him here but his backstory doesn't fit Aurora's fluff http://www.baystation12.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=11250 http://baystation12.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=5906&start=15#p240710

Someone honestly remembers my borg before I got the custom sprite? Or was it after? I never started bald, I started with a Mohawk. Began on /tg/ and quit at the beginning when /v/ discovered SS13 and the server went from semi-reasonable shenanigans to ALL THAT MATTERS IS SCORING VALIDS. Hopped to Bay when it was a really strict mess and people literally berated others in ooc on a daily basis and Spaceman96 was the prime example of it before he finally fucked off. Eventually staff turned over and things got more lax but not to /tg/ level and recently SS13 hasn't had it's same draw.

I don't even play Sec with Unwani, he's more for Robotics or R&D.

I honestly didn't expect this kind of support from strangers, it's ...pretty amazing. I should be playing more often though if my friends didn't have me stuck in EvE for the past two days.

BYOND Key: Donofnyc3 Character Names: Ika Thane How long have you been playing on Aurora: About a day, which makes this very, very bold but I have my reasons! Species you are applying to play: Unathi What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Dawrwililian at 116/198/156 if this RBG scale if of any truth Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes! Infact I actually wrote Bay's which is very similar to Aurora's 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: Being a migrant from Bay, I feel very, very neutered stuck playing my old humans and without the species access to my old unathi characters I just don't feel that /invested/ in my RP. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Like said above they're amazingly stubborn in the face of easier or more sane paths, and have the cultural upbringing of not be afraid to lay down their life to be the better or more honorable person in a conflict, and it shows in their warfare and lifestyle. Physiology-wise they're tall, their sternum and trunk region is built to withstand blows and protect vital innards and their sensory is dependent on visual and scent. They're cold blooded which means their habitation is important for survival and metabolism. Their scales are thick to protect against natural hazards and predators, though this protection doesn't translate well against vibroblades or heat-axes. Why does this species in particular hold your interest? I honestly find humans boring, I play a lot of tabletop games and my first question will often be at chargen: What fun, actually different in anatomy or perceptions species/mutant/xenos can I play? Does it mean I can tend to snowflakes a bit? A... Little, yes. Why I want to play Unathi? I adore their stubborn, patchwork, batshit ballsy approach at life. Where every other species will take the path of least resistance and change over time Unathi will adamantly stick with what /works/ despite what's better or easier. Character Name: Unwani Rimirdalv Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs: Unwani's old clan name and origins stem from a settlement in the temperate south polar region of Moghes made of high built and aged precursor walls and buildings overgrown by flora and jungle. Hailing from the engineering clan Ou'weesa prided locally for their ability to retrofit and understand precursor tech for everyday utility and use giving Unwani a healthy exposure to machinery understanding growing up. What would prevent him from taking his father's mantle and starting his own family would be a string of faintings and other weaknesses soon identified by their doctors as 'scale rot', an autoimmune genetic illness that was known as terminal. Choosing the path of Gladuim to die with some dignity, he had left his possessions to his clan aside from a single vibroblade claymore and food and water, spending at least two years challenging bandits and beasts hoping to die in bloodshed. Eventually he stumbled upon mercenaries from the Sol medical corporation of Hellstrome in hire by the city-state of Dwiane to root out slaver outcasts and had linked up with them to help, once again this campaign hadn't gotten Unwani killed like he would have liked ...Yet he had taken a shuttle back with the Hellstrome forces to enroll in employment with their company where he was given a second chance at life. By then his legs had been heavily atrophied from Scale Rot and were replaced with company prosthetics, aswell as his heart which was given filters to catch and limit the amount of T-cells in his blood heavily slowing the autoimmune illnesses' progress. In the next ten years he worked in Hellstrome as a 3rd party contract employee hired to other settlements and corporations through them for limited periods as each contract dictated, which is how he has come to work with Nanotransen. In that time he's gotten an associates' in Neurology and Synthetic engineering and currently lives on New London on Mars What do you like about this character? In full honesty? Unwani straight up started as a Batou expy, then eventually grew into something else. Someone who's an absolute hedonist terrified of death, So intent to live life as fully as they can and hopefully extend or immortalize it as much as possible, a fear brought on by a very real and terrifyingly slow near death experience. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I make the biggest special snowflakes and yet /somehow/ make them plausible I'm told. I'm the sort of guy who makes a delusional Tengu in Pathfinder who thinks they're a dragon and it meshes well with the party, or makes someone with a male Fury morph in Eclipse Phase that looks like a dinosaur and turns it into a social camouflage pretending to be a smart pet while keeping in mind the testosterone poisoning it causes. I know advertising oneself as a maker of special snowflakes isn't the best thing ever, but I rather be honest rather than flatter myself. Notes: The last name Rimirdalv is due to the fact he swore off his clan name not expecting to need it on a death quest, when that didn't work out he picked it as a surname out of a book of all things, it's not something he's proud of... I also have art of him! http://i.gyazo.com/08c176292eb5d5e350cb8c6bf3d04129.png http://i.imgur.com/aEXxzSe.jpg
