How long have you been playing on Aurora: About a year and a half
Species you are applying to play: Tajara
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:
The Tajara as a species seem to be easily impressed and convinced by the simplest of things, the concept of one true God, Heaven, etc would resonate well with their history, and their nature as a whole. Basically, I imagine them to be loyal to a concept, in this case, religion. (So no Raieed Tajara, thank God).
I want to play as a Tajara simply because his religion defies his (supposedly) nature and initial impression as a member of a supposedly an uncultured, uncouth, and morally bankrupt.
Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:
First of all, the easily pointed out differences: No footwear, No spacesuits not designed for them, and of course, the rolling of the Rs.
The Tajara as stated, are viewed in a negative light, so much so, it prevents them from being appointed in leadership positions, leading to some interesting scenarios with racism. However, I think their low position in society might also give them a rather unique view on spirituality and the nature of what God is.
Why does this species in particular hold your interest?
The Tajara for me are interesting in the fact of their history and nature, being commonly believed to be rabble and criminals, though their history begs to differ, being basically a story of liberation and revolution. Also, the stated unique views on spirituality and god. I’d like to try and explore that avenue of RP as a catman.
Character Name: Moses Tra’Jirra
Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs
What do you like about this character?
I like how he’s different from the cookie cutter template of what is expected of Tajarans. He’s more passionate about things, and of course his piety must be taken into account. He was raised by humans, adopting their religion and values, while still being of a different species and having the labels associated with that being applied to him. That and the religious upbringing made for a rather unique early life for Moses.
How would you rate your role-playing ability?
10 catmans/10
Notes:
Roosty helped, and bullied me into doing it.
