Species you are applying to play: Dionaea.
What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt):Green.
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: Seeing others playing the Dionaea caught my instrest, the long names and the way they speak using "We" instead of "I", they are consider a peacefull, curious and intelligent. They have their own language, also the idea of feeling a sort of pain in different manner is really interesting and seems really fun to play, i really like to experiment and trying new characters so i decided to give this a go.
Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Difference will be in the behavior, they are curious and intelligent creature. As i read, they use to call themself "We" instead of "I" but there is also exception where the Dionaea is exposure to humans and learns to use it. They are probably going to stick to the lit areas and avoid dark corridors like maintenance (I dunno if they can use flaslight to negative that effect). Light functions as nutrution and as "medkit" and dark as opposite so you would want to stay away from the dark. They also have no concept of personal space, so those who sees/meets humans for first time might invade their privacy.
Why does this species in particular hold your interest? Dionaeas are plant-like race, they tend to be curious and examines their surrounding and people of different race. I found interesting their mechanism, they are reliant on the light because it is their source of survival and nutrition which then heals them. Yes the behavior aswell, they tend to be friendly and curious. They also have no DNA...maybe.
Character Name: Dew Of Grass At Night
Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Darkness...thats all there was and suddenly a spark of light. The prison holding me has suddenly opened in to gloomy room, almost seeming like a night with the humid air and grass all around me. First what i saw, was a single drop of dew rolling down a stalk of grass, the room was gloomy like at night. Dew of grass at night, i thought to myself. But before i could get settled around, a door flew open and group of people has entered the room.
One of them come close to me with a symbol "NT" on his shoulder. He extanded his hand to me, i was not sure what he ment by that so i stinged him with a needle like stinger and took few drops of his blood. He smiled upon me, grabbed me and placed me on his shoulders. Suddenly i was able to understand him and the other two, he was a scientist and the place i was in, is a long abandoned station and they were a group of explorers looking for archaeology findings. They asked me what's my name and all i could think was dew of grass at night. I told them that my name was dew of grass at night and the man who was carrying me just smiled and nods. We exited the station to their ship, he then said that they are going back their station so they asked me if i would like to come with them. I was really curious what their station looks like and what they are doing so i answered yes. In several day we arrived to the place they mentioned.
I was looking forward to meet other people and see what they are doing. As i arrived with the scientist and entered the station i was suprised on how big and lid the station was, i immediately went inside and starts examining everything i could see. But before i could finish that the scientist stopped me and i saw a man with fancy uniform coming towards us. The man greets us, and asked me if i would like to work here. I told yes, i'm curious on what it is like to work on a station. He told me to come with him, so i said goodbye to the man that found me and left with Nanotrasen officer. The nanotrasen officer instructed me abotu the space law and other important matter i should know.
After the instruction he send me on education program, before that he asked me which department would i like to be part of. I looked at the list of the jobs and after quite a time of thinking i said Cargo! The man looked at me with a smile and asked just cargo? I then immediatly asnwered and chef! The man scratched his head and said "Well i didn't expected for you to choose this but as you wish." with that he sent me on the education program off the station. After several years i returned growned up and ready to go on my first time at job.
What do you like about this character? Very curious with tendency to know everyone it meets. Sometimes obtrusive, but very friendly. Fan of green color and actually calls him/herself "I" instead of "We". Some might call him/her weird but, he/she always stays happy and hugs people if they led him/her.
How would you rate your role-playing ability? 6/10 i would rate myself.
Notes: First application, please don't be hard on this...i mean like i tried hard enough to do this.
EDIT: Here is my improvment, i really do hope i improved. (btw i don't know if they have genders but if so, then it is female, and yes i read the lore but still in the game it shows if dionaea is a female or male)
