Hi there. I play the Dionae Approaching the Rain, someone whom has interacted several times with a character I know this person to play in engineering. Their apprentice seems to disregard a lot and get hostile very quickly, which could just be RP choice. However, when trying to help teach something, I have been disregarded in LOOC as well, only to see the player use the chat in other instances. As a Dionae I cannot reasonably tell you how to wear a voidsuit, but as a player I can. Another note is that the character vanishes to eat/drink/pee/nap consistently. It's sometimes immersion breaking to have someone go back and forth every couple of minutes. Regarding the app itself, I'm not gonna beat a dead horse. You are already aware of the main difficulty and you have stated an effort to repair it, which I commend. The backstory, as was mentioned, is lacking in the past. We know she is a native Adhomaian born Tajara and that she studied chemistry. What experiences gave her the drive to chemistry? how did being shy effect her home and school life? Did her parents support her decisions? These are simple starter questions to help you think about the character more. Lastly, this is not D&D. As a fellow player and GM I must admit that separating the ideas of different RP systems can be daunting at first. Here there is no real DM/GM. You get to build your character completely and decide everything for them. The only restriction on this is that it must be believable. It'd be difficult to play a high profile war criminal on our station, though a low-profile one could be done subtly. All said, I wish you luck, perhaps in the future I will have a better idea on givving you support or not, for now I'm neutral.

As a note, the idea of using rootsong and leeting it be more long-distance is nifty. There exists a concept that has them using rootsong over vast distances to communicate and coordinate. The cool part about the rootsong is we could have it so that any being that knows the language can hear it as well. Your AI and station bounds, alond with any pAI with a translator would pick it up. Those who cannot understand it would only "hear" the sounds in sight range as normal, representing a frequency change over long distances or something. I dunno. I'm not really for or against it, just throwing out a few ideas and saying that it's nifty.

I wanted to know what people think of my tree. I think it's a pretty tree. ------ Edit (To add some info in case people need more to go off of.): Approaching the Rain is an Engeering Apprentice with hopes of becoming an Engine Technician. It is often found wearing a gear harness and engineering poncho, these are the only articles of "clothing" it owns. It can also be found wearing just about anything it finds in maintenance. It likes trying new things. As of writing this update (09/04/2019) a few people have gathered information from it or it's records. -It is from the Ophion Gestalt, a gestalt known for producing Dionae with cold and calculating minds and also known for "consuming" the crew of the spaceship after which it is named. -It intends to attempt to purchase a SM core to take home to the Ophion, a purchase NT will likely never allow to happen. -It is not the only gestalt sent from the Ophion with this or similar missions. -It's citizenship, schooling, and employment are sponsored by NT and are considered debts to be repaid before it can purchase a SM core.

Remember, in an ageless race, the concept of age is actually irrelevant. The things you know and mental maturity matter more. You can be an older group of Dionae who so happened to be from a conglomerate, so mentally your dionae would not know about other races socially. They would be immature in that sense, but would likely have a strong bond within the nymphs.

The objective is to have a method of not knowing who a character is because their name popped up in text somewhere due to game mechanics, such as general comms. Ive grown a station nymph into a gestalt and had the HoP wordlessly generate me an ID and records, never once asking my name.

Door control for the IAA office to avoid having to shuffle about to let someone out? Also, This little gem in the engineering sublevel. The room where the tesla stuff is stored.

Nein, let me know if I overstepped by posting here. As a hint, this would be regarding the desire for emotional response and the age of the gestalt as a whole. I'm not hinting anymore, I'm helping cause I love this race and want more people to understand it and play it. The younger your gestalt the less likely they are to really understand emotion as they have to logically communicate with one another for each and every action they take. Eventually they learn to empathize with one another, not unlike any normal group of friends or other social groupings. Also, regarding tree ages: Usually the actual age of the nymphs/gestalt doesn't usually matter that I am aware of. Nein should correct me if I'm wrong, but due to their evaluations for citizenship and education, they are typically assigned an "equivalent" age that would appear on the records. The length of your name is what would really indicate your age as a gestalt.

I agree with the comments so far regarding the item. It's supposed to stand out and be a quick identifier when a person is in a dangerous or less that ideal location. It would help you be seen in the dark to prevent accidents from vehicles, tools, or construction equipment. It's also useful to rescue teams as a quick pass over an area with a flashlight allows one to easily find the reflective strips in a dark environment. In daylight it's supposed to starkly contrast with typically work clothing and make someone stand out to the typical observer, thus preventing accidents with tools, vehicles, and construction equipment.

I don't really play IPCs anymore, but I agree as a synth whitelist holder. There is little to no downside to playing an IPC at the current point, they are strong mechanically and treated with much the same respect as their organic counterparts (save for a few outlier characters). Granted, the entire playerbase seems to be largely avoiding racism as a whole, but this could be fixed with a few well aimed lore bits. Note: These are based solely on the observations as I have seen them while I play or observe. I may be missing some of the racism and whatnot due to playtimes, but I don't think I really have.

I was waiting for the interview. I already had great expectations on Cnaym because of past interactions but I truly feel like their interview was well worded and showed an understanding of proper escalations for punishments, which is good as that was a focus for them in the end. I would very much love to see them get a trial at the very least. +1

You mentioned to me in-game that my own application was an inspiration for you so I wanted to take a look here. You display the basics in understanding the race and I kinda love the character backstory bit. Can I preemptively ask how you think this character could spark RP with others? As of right now, based on what you have gathered there for the lore, mechanics, and the character backstory, I give you a +1. I'd love to get to RP with you at some point. If you want to see my current Dionae, I have three: Chasing forgotten Dreams, Approaching the Rain, and Advancing the Mind. Hope to see you in game.

Location of Incident: Research Wing Nature of Incident: [ ] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ X ] - Destruction of Property [ X ] - Neglect of Duty [ X ] - Harassment [ X ] - Assault [ X ] - Misconduct [ ] - Other _____ Overview of the Incident: [00:00] Recording started. [00:28] Fa'iq Nejem says, "This is Interrnal Affairrrrs Agent Nejem with Officerr Tii'Aei." [00:41] Fa'iq Nejem says, "Please give a statement as to what occurrred rrregarrrrding this incident rreporrrt." [01:01] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "Right. The shift began fairly normal, nothing major happened until about...twenty five, to thirty minutes in." [01:11] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "We got called to science and arrived on scene. There were two Skrell, and a human. The offenders listed." [01:38] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "Doctor Songna had attacked a IPC, the robotocist listed in the report. Slapping from my understanding. An officer detained them and moved them to the brig. The issue seemed defused." [01:55] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "However, less than ten minutes later we got called back. The scientist, Vo'lorem was breaking into the robotocist's lab. I witnessed this personally." [02:08] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "The door had been barricaded and they were removing the window pane's and screaming at us to detain the IPC for Neglect of Duty as they had not given them parts needed for research." [02:14] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "The Head of Security and a stationbound arrived on scene." [02:38] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "The Head of Security took the IPC aside to ask them what happened. While the researcher refused to talk to me, and instead mocked me. Calling me a race traitor, and they were going to report me to the Jargon Federation for crimes." [03:00] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "The IPC then fled the Head of Security's attempt to detain them, sparking a manhunt which resulted in the ion rifle being issued from the armoury and two officers having to search for the IPC before they could be brought in and charged." [03:26] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "During this, Doctor Songna returned screaming she was going to dismantle the IPC herself if the parts weren't printed and started smashing the door. The stationbound had to bolt the airlock." [03:38] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "Doctor Songna was not charged for this, for some unknown reason." [03:48] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "After all this, we're forced back to science by screams of help from a EMT." [04:11] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "We arrive on scene to a crowd of people gawking through the window. Doctor Lesh Songna'Yullra had a pair of force gloves and a prototype weapon on his belt. Contained within the science wing." [04:24] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "He had attacked a lab assistant for 'working in his lab and taking tools'. A wrench and a crowbar, to note. Which could easily have been printed." [04:47] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "Doctor Songna started attempting to man-handle the assistant out of the lab. Again, the Head of Security arrived on scene to assist and issued a formal warning to both persons not to do it again or they would be charged." [05:05] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "Several times during this Doctor Lesh Songna'Yullra utilized force gloves in front of myself and the Head of Security to physically throw the assistant across the lab." [05:19] Fa'iq Nejem says, "He thinks we have to leave verrrry soon." [05:30] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "About fifteen minutes after this, Doctor Songna and Songna'Yullra left the lab." [05:42] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "Songna'Yullra was then detained as they brought the force gloves and prototype weapon outside of the lab." [05:50] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "Doctor Songna then proceeded to chase a EMT into the medical bay and attack them, and was also detained." [05:57] Qaeio Tii'Aei says, "That's...the summary of it." [06:04] Fa'iq Nejem says, "OKay. To the shuttle." [06:06] Recording stopped. Did you report it to a Head of Department or IAA? If so, who?: Yes, D'jar Sa'Kaute (HoS) and Fa'iq Nejem (IAA) Actions taken: As one could read, security was called and the offenders were arrested. Additional Notes: IAA Fa'iq Nejem has written this report on behalf of Officer Tii'Aei. He recorded the officer's statement and has used it as the main body of this document. Also, Doctor DeFranco was added to this report as he was harrassed by the anomalists as well, being threatened to be assaulted via taser by the pair, to which Fa'iq was a personal witness.

As an IAA main, I agree with this. It would be much easier to not look at every records when trying to do a quick scan for CCIA notes. +1

Usually when a head of staff has reason to break regulations or directives for the purpose of inclusion in the round, it's gonna be based on antagonist activity. Rarely will extended see need for that kind of action. Even if a scientist does become a slime during extended and get forced to sit in the xenobio wing for containment based on station directives, chances are they knew what they were doing enough to be aware of those consequences. If someone wants to go out of their way to include the player and break that directive, they should be aware that someone could file an IR and their character could get in trouble, you chose to play a character that was doing something wrong so I don't see the issue.

I've read this and the interview over and I like to say that I see the intentions of positivity in you. I've seen you be quite rude OOCly before, but I've also seen you get along with and joke about with quite a few members of the community. I think you have the ability to make the changes that the community would need to see from you to be a staff member and hope that you would do so. As such I give my own tentative +1. I would honestly love to see you trial and see what you can do regarding being staff, but I say so with the intent that your attitude is watched closely and is part of the scrutiny held against you. In any case, I wish you the best of luck. +1 (a second time in a more visible place.)

You have a way of misrepresenting what is being said to you. You take things too literally sometimes and it's making us feel like we beat a dead horse trying to talk to you. In your whitelist application specifically, I was not the only one saying what I said. Others had said it before me and I tried to help clarify. I then had to make another post to clarify that one because you still sounded like you didn't quite get my point. People aren't only discussing you on the forums, you are the topic of a decent amount of chatter on here, discord, and even the server. People are reacting to you in an organic manner based upon the behavior you display when talking to others. Getting punished for something, even if you willingly accept your wrong doing, does not absolve you of the thing. Let's take the comments to Cake as an example: You typed rude and disrespectful things to someone in "retaliation" for being disrespected. What was said that was disrespectful? He spoke to you harshly, as a staff member who is punishing a player should. He was the player involved so he had a right to post on the thread and as a staff member he has access to your notes, which sound extensive. In your retaliation you attacked his personal life, you also called him a "greedy new mod" when it was already stated that he has served time as staff prior to his current trial. You went out of your way to blast someone's character with no proof of anything. AFTER you got in trouble from ANOTHER MOD, you wrote the whole thing off as "my bad." Then you sit here and talk about being warned for it like it should be swept under the rug. The point is that you did something that you KNEW was wrong from the get go. People will think less of you for that. They will talk and this will be something people remember you for. If you weren't so busy defending your "honor" you'd be able to look at the people around you and realize that people have less fun when you are around. I'm not saying everyone. I knew a kid in high school that was hated by most of the school. He had a few friends, people whom either respected or feared him, but everyone else was miserable with him around. Coming to the forums and finding threads like this is draining for me, even when I'm not responding to them. Reading the levels of toxicity that you throw at everyone ruins bits of me every single time I find it. I try to find the good in everything, but I can't see it in you at this point. Like I said before, it's nothing personal. I don't dislike you. I just can't let you act this way and drag me down with you. Please think about your behavior and the way you have talked to people. Look at it from an outside point of view as if someone else were in your spot and you in theirs. Would you really feel like being around that? Hell, you already think some of the server is "after you," why do you want to be around THAT?

I really thought about wanting to join this, but as I was typing such I realized that I already feel my weekends are short and that I play in a game from noon to 6pm EST already. While I currently live in that house I won't soon and that means travel time would make me late anyways. Oh well. If you ever run one in a differing slot, I hope you let people here know as I'd love to see your GMing style. ((I play other RPGs, I have only the most basic understanding of 5E as I've never played that edition.))

I've been a fairly silent bystander while watching things with you. I've also attempted to be helpful and have given you nothing but honest and single-minded respect at every moment I have interacted with you in any way. I'd like to weigh in here though as this seems to be an important topic that you do not seem to understand Orleans. You step out of line consistently. You argue everything to the most minute detail and act like everyone in the world is out to get you. You cling to one time statements, both positive and negative, as if spur-of-the-moment actions and one-time thoughts are final. You act as though a due process is strictly enforced in a gaming community and on a gaming server. The simple fact is that you are brash, rude, condescending, angry, and boisterous at nearly all time in which you interact with the community. You have been spoken to about this on many occasions and in the public eye, yet you refuse to keep your chill during many situations and speak in a manner that shows us some thought over emotional response. You're typical response to someone who posts in any quantity of disagreement to you is: This is just assuming that we haven't and that we haven't found some holes in your logic or even evidence. I have silently agreed on many threads against you because it would not have been proper for me to reply in those situations. This is where it finally is. I don't think you fully grasp the concept of the first rule written on both our server and forums. And before you tell me about that only being on the server as it talks about in-game communications... Your activity has been the cause of a lot of talk and there are people that meme about it, but there are enough people that genuinely dislike the vibes you give off and give to this community and game, myself included. Also, regarding not knowing who people are, you don't have to. We know you. You have a large footprint here and use a very loud voice whenever you have something to say. Because of this we have all walked through these forums and seen the way you interact with people. On the topic of the complaint, I do agree that this should result in something long term if that does not already happen elsewhere. I'd love to see improvement but I don't think that will happen while you are here. I think you need to spend some time away, give yourself ample time to think over your actions and behaviors and to think about the points of view coming from others. Getting in trouble and saying things like "I know you have to warn me", even if it was a good faith acknowledgement of you doing wrong, is bad. The fact that you KNOW you did something wrong and did it anyway or didn't seem to care at first is part of that problem. Take away from my comments what you want, I harbor no particular ill will against you and don't outright dislike you, I just don't think you belong in the same community as I do with your current behavior.

Thea is an amazing character. She brings a realism to the round that is missing more often than not by being a grounding force. When something is going on, she's making sure people are mentally well during and after, a strong link to her psychiatry background. She pulls persons aside and goes out of her way to meet with people in the most comfortable of settings. Her popularity among crew makes her someone whom people want to interact with which can make her seem to spread thin, but somehow she manages to meet with everyone. Her outward demeanor compared to her inner struggles are realistic and if anyone has a chance to speak with her during a crisis, they can often see the amount of effort Thea has to put into being rational and avoiding a breakdown. All in all she is easily one of the best people to get to know in any capacity, if you see her on the manifest, please bolt for the HoP office for something. =P (Make her work.)

All around I can't tell you just how much additional RP I think something like this will bring to the rounds in which we see Thea. Since my return I've interacted with Thea a lot, mainly through IAA roles where I am already working closely with command and tend to play characters that only have bravado behind a desk, never when actually confronted. She has offered tea and other drinks to my characters to calm their nerves during many antag rounds and I love the play that it adds to everything. Just giving her something else to talk about through it would be great. Please consider this. +1

Part of my answer is to let yourself seem ignorant ICly. It's a big galaxy. Maybe you have a hard time reading massive wiki-dumps, that's fine. Ask people about current events where they are from. I am missing a ton of human lore. I'm also missing a ton of other information for the various factions in play. This is mostly because I'm not gonna spend hours reading a wiki on something I'm not stupidly interested in. So unlike my whitelisted races and their homes I didn't go on a binge. I've also taken a huge break from the server recently and there are a LOT of news articles on the forums here that I am not reading, mostly because sorting what I do and don't want to read is impossible. So I just try to learn things as I go by asking people. Seeming ignorant IC isn't always a bad thing, it's a VERY large galaxy with a lot of information being sent from place to place, it's okay for a Bieselite to not keep up with events in Sol or any of the frontier worlds. THose news articles don't get read because they don't effect you, even if they do.

One thing I think would have been for the best would have been a "private comms relay" that only worked on the beach or a PDA server for it. Additionally, a better way to access the beach, such as a teleporter in place of the shuttle that we couldn't recall once stranded on the moon, would have done wonders, there were a few times I wanted to leave for the station and couldn't. Otherwise this was a blast. It was a lot of fun seeing character gather that wouldn't have normally, such as several heads of staff with overlapping positions. It was worth being stranded there and spending 15 mins trying to find someone.
