Pale White Have you read our lore section's page on this species?:
Yes and there's so much to bloody read. However i'm enjoying it a lot. 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:
First a foremost, been a fan of insectoids and hivemind races for so, so long.
The lore about the vaurca and the C'thur hive (also how they integrated into Orion Spur) is really fascinating, was thinking about playing Zo'ra at first but the C'thur was much more to my liking.
There's really not much to type here since my reason to play this race is based on their culture (C'thur), the apperance and the enjoyment i'll get for playing a Vaurca Ka.
And they remind of a race in DnD call Thri'Kreens who i enjoy playing as. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:
As an unbound Vaurca I'll have freedom to do what I think will benefit the Queen and the Hive. (So that may mean doing illegal actions, aka some drama) As part of the Mouv brood and Jargon Alliance, I'll have the ambition to learn new stuff that's focus the scientific field and do this while working in unity with other researchers. The Vaurca have different values than human like, humans work for self importance and gains to satisfy themselves. While the Vaurca is all about improving the hive and making the Queen happy. Also I think it'll be fun to RP talking like a Vaurca since they mostly communicate with pheromones, i plan on making Vollic speak slow single words and using a lot of body language. Character Name: Ka'Akaix'Vollic C'thur Please provide a short backstory for this character:
A child of Ta'Akaix'Mouv'lek'tanta C'thur, The Recondite, Ka'Akaix'Vollic C'thur (nickname Vollic) was given life on the planet Akerliim and the gift of being unshackled and unbound. As a lava, Vollic did what a young unbound did, explored around them as they mature, watched the bound work like robots and the unbound act sociable. As Vollic grew he gained an interest in building stuff out of things found around the hive, it was mostly sticks, rocks and mud, making them into little monuments and spaceships. As 6 months passed, Vollic received his implant to be able to connect into VR and the experience was pure ecstasy. After enjoy just visiting another place with ease, Volic started to find information on construction, machinery, robotics and coding. Spending most of the next 6 months studying the coding and construction of robots and machinery, Vollic wish to start making robots to help the hive to be more efficient and safer. The first thing Vollic made was a cleaning bot (named Clicky Clacky), there were errors in the coding since it kept trying to clean Vollic and any other Vaurca nearby, however over time it was fixed with time and his own coding. The Skrell took notice of this and offer Vollic a place on Diulszi to improve his studies and help with researching.
As time passed, Vollic made, with the supplies possible, many robots and machines. However ambitions grew to make better and more efficient robots and machines, this was strange for Vollic since building small robots and machines was so fulfilling for him not so long ago, yet as years went on Vollic ambitions grew as he saw the inefficiency of the machines around him was. Vollic wanted to make grander robots, more advance machinery and high tech spaceships but the C'thur hive was limited to what they can build with it supplies and technology. So Vollic begun it's search to find a place where it could join and build something to satisfy his ambition. After asking around in VR, other unbound and the Skrell, Vollic slowly gained the knowledge of other worlds and stations that fulfill that need of resources and new advance technologies.
Vollic was given the okay to go study abroad, but to prove that he was worth the investment, he was to build a spaceship himself and with that he started to worked hard. Vollic went many days without sleep, even longer than normal for a Vaurca. Months past and the completion of Vollic's ship was done. it was small, couldn't hold much,but it was enough. With some Vaurca food, Clicky Clacky and his dedication, Vollic went out in search of new places to learn from.
As he ran into new races and alien atmosphere of mixed cultures excited Viollic, same with learning all about other the different races and what's out there to learn. However this does have it's downside since the Vaurca are subjected to mockery and racism. The concept is not new to him but the continuation of it does worry and frighten Volllic, since living in Jargon was quite tolerable towards the Vaurca.
While the racism does get to him, the idea of helping the queen by finding more knowledge and learning new things excite and pushes Vollic forward.
In this new area of space, Vollic doesn't really have a place to call home. He's a wanderer of the stars, worlds and stations in search of that one place that'll take Vollic in. What do you like about this character?
Well first it's an insectoid race with great lore and I've been learning the robotics job. Now add those two together and I would love playing on this server even more!
I'm still new to the server and SS13, but I've been roleplaying in other things for years like DnD, Pathfinder, ect. One of the best things about this is learning the lore, timelines and how races act. Notes:
Still new to the server/ss13 and wish to make my first official character.
