I belive it would be a good re-addition. If its abused, it can easily be taken away +1

Hi there!!! First off, thanks for applying (please remember to bold the correct segments next time!) Now, questions: I see your Dionae initially bonded with Unathi and Humans (non-Dominians). How do they view the non-Dominians? How would your Dionae react to Dominians? Especially ones that new of your origin? Goodluck! There are no wrong answers.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_ChVXr7iATgUCU4HcHvnNlLAUawJugIcZ4iHThoGqko/edit?usp=sharing Shared this on the Lore Discord. One of the segments I actually wish to work on, as I mentioned in my essay.

Wassup! As I asked Monomyth, I'd like to ask about your opinion on the Skrell/Dionae relationship. Do you plan to change the relationship between Skrell and Dionae? If so, how? Do you believe that there are any plothooks that advances both Skrell and Dionae? If not, would you expand on one? Goodluck for your application!

This is officially my favorite Laowart piece!!!

Yes, it definitely did! I'm a Dionae Lore Deputy alongside Yonnimer and Zundy. I'm interested in your expansion of Skrell/Dionae relations - hypothetically, without any obstacles, what would you wish to expand upon in this manner? @monomyth

Hi Hay!! So I've been lurking for a few days in regards to this - so I have some questions. 1) The quote above is really interesting. Can you expand on what possible events you'd run as Unathi Maintainer? 2) How do you believe the Unathi are being affected by the KOTW Arc?

Hi! I'm curious as to your feelings towards the Dionae/Skrell relationship. Do you plan to change the relationship between Skrell and Dionae? If so, how? Do you believe Dionae should be treated as 2nd Class Citizens? Goodluck for your application!

Dude's on a speedrun. Anyhow, I have roleplayed quite extensively with Myphicboweser's characters (through most of my unknown characters). I'd like to see how they in a Command trial.

This application has my support, thank you for answering the questions so quickly!

WARP ACHIEVED; SPEED ACROSS REGION INCREASES EPSILON URSAE MINORIS - Probing Discoveries of Unknown Investigations has sent a communique via the Communications Relay housed within the Lxzti Station confirming the development of the ‘Czjkan Drive’ - a crude warp drive capable of breaching FTL speeds. Whilst inferior to the bulk of those created by humanity; relations amongst the galactic community haven’t been cordial enough to allow for the transfer of schematics involving more advanced warp drives. Whilst the ‘Czjkan Drive’ is said to require immense amounts of energy, it is said to double, if not triple, the speed in which the Epsilon Expeditionary Forces can reach the outermost reaches of the developing nation’s sphere of influence and is expected to be capable of reaching Qerrbalak in merely sixteen months - exponentially better than the previous thirty-six months the trip would take. Capable of achieving 0.032 light-years per day, it is considered one of the more faster engines produced by the species. The construction of a new generation of vessels, known to the greater scientific community as ‘Thok-Class’, will begin test runs on Gnisep 18 Jzki-Wxi, which when transferred to Tau Ceti Standard, is November 14th. The invention of the ‘Czjkan Drive’ is said to bring a time of prosperity, paving new pathways as well as increasing the region’s ability to protect their borders from vile plunderers. Military Overseer, Growing Hunger of Insatiable Greed, has stated that all efforts will go forward to improving the ‘Czjkan Drive’, as well as the weaponry aboard the new Thok-Class Vessels. Cheers to you reader, and good luck to our siblings in the Epsilon Ursae Minoris System - forging pathways through sheer might!

Welcome to the Land of the Trees! Thanks so much for applying, I enjoyed reading your application. 1) Can you tell me a bit about how your Dionae feels about the Biesellian Cluster? Do they gel well with the Eternal followers? 2) Does your Dionae have a degree to do with medicine? If so, how has this affected them in the present? 3) How does the Unathi life the gestalt live affect it on Biesel? Thanks!

Of course: I worked on the front page: https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Dionae I added the visual to the page, and editted it to be less blocky. I added the lore additionsin regards to Dionae organs, and worked alongside @Chada1 to implement the Dionae becomming immobile as they grow older. I added the self-preservation paragraph, and worked on reproduction as one of my first additions. I created psychology, with help from @Zundy in regards to how they can be affected. The other is the Dionae Clusters page: https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Dionae_Clusters I worked alongside Zundy to create the the history, as well as the split ideologies. I wrote the entirety of the Dominian Cluster, as well as the subcatergories in which the Dionae are divided into across the Empire. I expanded on both the Wild Ones, and then was assisted by Zundy in regards to the Narrows. I wrote the Dionae History page: https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Dionae_History @Yonnimer assisted me in regards to the foundations of the species history. I wrote the Dionae Relations page: https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Dionae_Relations Now, onto the second part. I not only disappointed the playerbase, but myself as well. The lack of adequiet planning lead to the arc to fall somewhat lacklustre, despite the initial success its saw. I will not only increase the planning into the arc, but request assistance from my fellow lore colleagues (which I shouldve done in the first place). I will be 'checking' in with both Loremasters to ensure that it is up to the standards of Aurora, as well as interesting for each and every character to take part in. I never wish to cancel another arc again, and will strive in all that I do to ensure that it meets the requirements (as well as be more well-planned). I hope this is a satisfactory answer @Aboshedab Edit: I have this for an example of my planetary lore. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZJQEnBzNplM4VnJbHiTtX_cw-Vwfd1QlBK-qb-nS9Xk/edit?usp=sharing

Oh! the above will also likely include the removal/alteration of Glorsh's ability to manipulate psionics to such a powerful degree. Yes, it should be capable of interacting with Skrell through the Nlom, but I do not believe it should be capable of simply altering reality to its whim. Essentially, making Glorsh less human and more machine.

Whilst I enjoyed some segments of the Skrell History reworked, there are some that I utterly despise. The modification of Glorsh; It's ... sad. It went from an intelligence with goals unable to be deciphered by the Skrell, to one that apologized for interuptting a Skrell's day. I do wish to alter, as well as contract, the Glorsh segments of the page so that it reflects the communities loudest calls, for Glorsh to return. I believe reverting Glorsh's ideology (whilst maintaining some details) would be the best course of action, and make the intelligence less 'synth-sympathetic' and more a reason for why synths should be feared for their capabilities. Yes, synths might be evil but they can also be good. I whole heartedly agree with @DanseMacabre viewpoint: I also have plans to make the History Rework into more digestable segments, as I have attempted to do so here: https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=User:Caelphon/Sandbox/4. I think that the vast majority of the feedback can be utilized into making a new (but old) and more interesting History for the species. I hope this answers your question @MattAtlas

Thanks for replying Itzal! So, the Dionae Deputy will likely fall away if I am chosen as the Skrell Maintainer (as per the Lore Team Rules & Regulations). I believe I am capable of maintaining both my role in the CCIA and be a Lore Developers(be it Dionae Deputy or Skrell Maintainer) as I have done since roughly March of this year. I will soon be going on holiday (after a series of exams) so I'll have endless time to work on lore. @Shadow

Ckey/BYOND Username: Caelphon Position Being Applied For: (Species Maintainer, Wiki Maintainer, Lore Developer, Deputy Lore developer): Skrell Species Maintainer Have you read the Lore Team Rules and Regulations wiki page?: Yes. Past Experiences/Knowledge: I have been a Dionae Deputy for little over half a year. Examples of Past Work: https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Dionae I have worked alongside both Zundy and Yonnimer to create what Dionae is today. Additional Comments: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aCSVtoRtG8rwCAORf54MrFVqKEy7QcLHZONdT2vdPJI/edit?usp=sharing The link above is the entirety of my essay.

I've gone and updated the following: https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Notable_Dionae_Factions https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Notable_Dionae_Locations https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Epsilon_Ursae_Minoris Expect more changes to come, more so additional details on Dionae Space Travel as well as detailing life on Epsilon Ursae Minoris.

JOYOUS ROAR; BILL #41-2C PASSES! The Hum cries out in joy to announce the passing of Bill #41-2C. The last few updates have made reality increasingly saddening, however, today we wish to bring only good news forth. Whilst some changes to the Bill occurred by a unanimous vote of the Congress, the Bill has laid a foundation for those both aboard and within Tau Ceti. Dionae grown within sphere of Tau Ceti’s influence will be required to be chipped at birth, however, this will allow for a much quicker, and easier, application of citizenship for those that wish to apply. The Sentience Exam will still be required, but can easily be passed by those that are in fact sentient. The second part of the Bill refers to the ability of granting asylum to Dionae who are in turbulent circumstances. Whilst there are many legal obstacles, it has become exponentially easier to grant asylum as long as the Dionae are willing to serve within the TCFL for approximately a year; the position of which isn’t important. The amplified cries of all our allies that don the green armband has been heard! We thank all those who directly, and indirectly, supported the movement. It is one small step for the Dionae but a giant leap in the right direction of equality of all. The Hum will continue to update you as time passes, including that of the charge increase so the Solarian criminals that gassed our siblings.

Right, this is the whole of September and a bit of October's updates for Trees: - Two new accents, as per https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/10203 - A page dedicated to OOC stuff about Diona https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Dionae_Out-Of-Character *Pacifism & Character Outlines were highlighted.

PRICES SOAR; ECONOMIC COLLAPSE ON THE RISE? Despite strict guidelines set by NanoTrasen, Phoron has continued to inflate in price. The interstellar use of Phoron has decreased by nearly 34% and the Scarcity is fast becoming one of the greatest threats to interstellar trade. A spokesperson the Republic of Biesel has warned that the shortage of Phoron has resulted in decreased amounts of both imports and exports - and will lead to the prices of many goods and services to increase in the coming weeks. According to a report by various sources, the Bluespace Gates throughout the Orion Spur will remain active for as long as fuel can be supplied to the titanic machines. Majority of the trade between the systems occurs through these gates. Xiao Ji, Chairperson of the Biesellite Economist Forum, has stated that not only does the organization expect the various economies within the Orion Spur to enter a recession - but the complete collapse of some markets. "We estimate that not only will the price of basic goods increase exponentially, but the cost of living will become too high and lead to an unprecedented recession within the interstellar economy" says Ji. According to Ji and data collected by the Biesellite Economist Forums, staple goods have already seen a price increase of 33% and expected to rise more in the face of the Scarcity. Luxury goods have drastically risen with an increase of 46% forcing many within the lower income brackets to completely be cut off. "Intervention is required, the earlier the better. Unless strict rationing is implemented immediately, the average citizen within the Orion Spur will see their living wage become impossible to survive off of." The struggle derived from the Scarcity is becoming increasingly apparent, and fear over an economic collapse is rapidly increasing - with many liquidating their monetary assets in an attempt to retain their value.

RETALIATION; OUTCRY FOR INCREASED CHARGES TO ASSAULTERS The Hum amplifies the calling of our injured siblings. We stand in solidarity with our siblings who call for the increase charges of the Solarians that attacked the non-violent protest in support of Bill #41-2C. The deviants were charged only with battery, despite placing dozens of Dionae into critical states, with one withering early this morning due to the inability to recover. We declare now, the Dionae within the Eternal Temple, will not rest until the Solarians behind the heinous actions have been brought to justice amongst their peers in Court. We plead our case to those tuning in, raise awareness and speak about the injustices wreaked upon our species. Join us in our fight against such actions from occurring. Again, we will be hosting a protest not only to show support for Bill #41-2C but also to make others aware of our anger and frustration that the Solarian criminals will continue to walk free. We call out to those that stand with us to proclaim your support through the use of wearing a green armband - which will be sold at the Eternal Temple in District 11. The Hum will update you as the situation unfolds, but urge listeners to purchase and wear green armbands.

DOZENS CRITICAL; PROTEST OVER CITIZENSHIP TURNS TO MASSACRE The Hum wishes to make those tuning in aware of the horrific actions done to our non-violent protest. We watched as violence erupted outside the Biesel Congress Building where hundreds of Dionae had gathered in a show of support of Bill #41-2C. The bill aims to allow us, being Dionae, to be given Biesel citizenship upon birth within the soil of the planet. It also will let our siblings that are fleeing from turbulent circumstances to apply for asylum. However, we believe that few congressmen wish to support such a bill from being introduced. We organized a non-violent protest, not only in an attempt to sway those that believe we do not deserve citizenship, but to show that if given the chance to carve our own path on Biesel as we did when we constructed the Eternal Temple, we will not abuse such privileges. It was for nought, as we were attacked by those that used to inhabit the Solarian Alliance - hailing the Dionae as demons that killed their ancestors within the Rueltab System. Connected to the Blossoms Beyond, Leader of the Eternal Temple within District Eleven, has requested us to convey their sympathies to the gestalts that were harmed in the onslaught. The Solarian use of modified pesticide sprayers capable of dispersing Plant-B-Gone led to the health of over a dozen gestalts to enter a critical state. Whilst we believe that the situation is now under control, several of our allies within the Mendell Police Department have stated that the vicious attackers will be released with merely a charge of battery. The Hum actively takes a stand against the brutality against the Dionae within Biesel, and will update you as the situation unfolds.
