Interacted with Broadsword a few times, a lot. They, as a character and player, seem fit for the heightened skills of a command member. I have never seen any problems with them, and they seem to encourage a nice and flowing command structure as a crew member. Haven't interacted with them while on their trial (should have posted this later before). But I have high hopes that Broadsword will do great as an XO. Good luck on the paperwork! +1

As a mining player, I support this. It would make our jobs way more easier while also allowing for more interaction when we are cruising to (literal or not) our deaths. Usually we barely get any fun when it comes to interacting with the rest of the crew (except when sometimes a exoplanet is luckily positioned nearby the Horizon), so having a way to process ores on the way back is great, and it makes it fun to interact with other miners like yourself while on the shuttle. I’d appreciate if the shuttle was fitted with a bar/kitchen area. I’m concerned about space though. How will people get around the shuttle when it is undocked?

IN-DIFER-NT behaves in one way; a monotone fashion, focused on work and service rather than recreation and emotion. IN-DIF would rather do their job than do something else, showing how that have gained a strong attachment to their company, and their position. In IN-DIF’s, their job is their entire life, and to upset their creators would mean taboo to them. IN-DIF believes that they were made for a purpose, and rather proceeds to offer their personality and tone in exchange for efficiency, explaining the monotone tone; straight to the point and ready to get into work. While IN-DIF lacks emotion, perhaps on the way they can gain it by personal experience and learning from others on the ship.

Hi, sorry for the delay. I have not abandoned this application just yet. I'll answer the second question when I have more time, but for now I'll answer the first one. IPCs are treated more terribly and more as an object in most sectors. Mostly they are considered servants in some places, but in others, they have rights. An IPC may be treated differently depending on if they are free or an owned IPC according to the law in some places, however it varies on personal opinion. An IPC would have a vanity of reasons to be free or buy their freedom. Maybe because they wish rather to work for themselves, or perhaps to preserve themselves. Free IPCs gain more freedom than owned ones, so perhaps an IPC would find it better for them to gain their freedom in order to put their protection in their own hands. Some other IPCs may have developed an opinion that free IPCS are more or less good than owned ones, and may seek to become one of them. Major factors that change an IPC's behavior is learning. An IPC may choose to do something one way or another because it learned it from another being, and adapts it to themselves. It may act another way because they themselves see it as a benefit to themselves.

BYOND Key: Epicgamer545 Character Names: John Howard, Dall Kelly Species you are applying to play: IPC What color do you plan on making your first alien character: N/A Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yeah, good stuff. Why do you wish to play this specific race? While I would play other species, IPCs have a more vibrant and more familiar concept out of all of them. I have experience playing around with robotic characters, in other servers mostly. I always thought that robotic characters like IPCs speak louder than others, as their very existence is, made with a purpose and is man-made, instead of being organic. Role playing as a robotic character like a IPC allows me to express myself more creatively than it would as a human. It allows for more unique backstories and great concepts. I also really like the idea of how IPCs work, and how they understand emotions and feelings, or, how they barely understand it, however do so much to proceed with production rather than focus on the world and themselves. Instead of playing as a free IPC, I want to play as one who does not understand freedom. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human. Humans and other species have always thought with a conscience, and their level of understanding has never been known. The mystery of the human brain is not known, and in the standard IPC unit, that is the same. Positronic Brains focus more on reason, rather than desire. Their AI is focused on perfection and statistics, rather than a normal human brain. It calculates, stores data, and organizes itself. However, many of them range in thinking. While some may be built to be slaved, some may choose to be free. Many brains may choose to act more like a human, rather some may choose to be formal and cold. They vary a lot, much like humans, just the difference is that IPCs are built for a purpose, and made for the workforce. Character Name: IN-DIFER-NT Please provide a short backstory for this character. The beginning of an IPC ranges from factory to factory. However, this unit was mass made. One in million of IPC units, built in a steaming factory, with engineers and workers moderating giant, industrial arms that, stage by staged, produced the shell. First was the frame, then the wires, the parts, the limbs, the components. Then the brain, as a small delicate arm, reaches out to the lifeless body, placing it inside the IPC. This IPC wasn't made for industrial units, nor medical reasons, it was made to serve. After the paint job settles onto the shell, it was clear. This was a Bishop Accessory unit. A delicate body for the most delicate levels of service. Highly expensive, as well. But who would be willing to buy it? Turns out, it's future already had been secured. Nanotrashen, with their highly expensive budget, secured it. And, because of that, now, in the next stage of production, the unit would be labeled, chipped, and tagged across the body, personalizing it all over. And finally, then, it was given a name. Randomly generated, it used a more differnet format of naming, ending with its buyer, "-NT", the name had to be short, using a 7 character generated code. What proceeded is the name IN-DIFER-NT, and, without any second thoughts, the factory made haste to ship it to the buyer, and give it a clean slate. Now, the unit, sitting inactive, was about to be formatted. Its first activation was in Biesel, Tau Ceti, given a maintenance check for any faults the factory may have caused. Workers noted that the unit's personality was "cold" and didn't have a trend or pattern. It's way of speaking was sometimes monotone, and was purely focusing on its own orders, rather than using reason. This was, indeed, strange. The workers theorized that the IPC's formatting session may have contributed to the abnormal... However, it seemed to preform other tasks well, so workers, not caring less, took the option to ship it further to their next job and move on with their day. IN-DIF would be put in stasis until being sought a position onboard the SCCV Horizon. As cold as they may seem, do they really have a personality? Why don't they have a personality? Will they ever get it back? What do you like about this character? I feel like IN-DIFER-NT has potential to have character growth to learn about other people's behavior. IN-DIFER-NT is not like other IPCs, given that they side more with their employers rather than other units like them. Also, this allows me some lee-way as I learn how IPCs act normally, giving me some time to learn. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I don't roleplay in the "write a bunch of flavor text as soon as I enter the room" way, how I roleplay is that I simply understand people. As John Howard, my interaction with other characters has improved overtime, and I feel good about my roleplaying skills. The only bad thing I have on my notes is about me leaving without cryoing, but that was in an emergency and I think I can be forgiven for that. Anything else? beep boop I play on /TG/ sometimes beep boop
