Species you are applying to play: IPC
What color do you plan on making your first alien character: N/A; IPC
Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes.
Why do you wish to play this specific race?
I would like to play as an IPC because it opens up more options for scenarios and situations, and the mechanics of an IPC make it sound appealing to play as.
Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:
1. IPCs have different needs. For instance, they need to recharge, rather than eating food.
2. A positronic brain's highest directive is self-preservation, so they are much more likely to make decisions that would keep themselves safe rather than others.
3. An IPC may take up hobbies for different reasons than a human. For instance, and IPC may learn to cook to expand their abilities and create possible opportunities, making them more valuable and more likely to succeed.
4. IPCs may receive worse treatment from people depending on their beliefs concerning them. For example, someone coming from a planet under the Sol Alliance's control may not see them as an equal.
Character Name:
Titan Ishida
Please provide a short backstory for this character:
Titan Ishida is a Shell IPC made in Konyang, around 13 years ago. He was made a Shell, and soon employed by a man, only known to him as Ishida, who would approach him shortly after he was given orientation with an offer to work in Ishida Protection Services. It was routine to travel to other worlds within the span of 2 months, with very little downtime, but he was paid well and had good benefits. He had to receive repairs often, and as such had commonly hit parts replaced with more durable ones. He has had several memory wipes during the time he has existed, as requested by some clients, and due to the amount of time it takes to train, Ishida had PTIs (Port Training Inputs) installed so that Titan could be quickly trained and be given manufactured memories following a memory wipe through 'memory chips.'
Sometime in mid-2462, Titan was sent to Tau Ceti for a long-term protection job. However, upon arrival, he found that line of communication had gone quiet, and he now no longer had new instructions to follow. He began taking protection jobs by himself for money to keep up on maintenance, because getting better pay in standard jobs required IPC citizenship, and there were too many hoops to jump through to get it. Sometime in early 2464, he would be contacted by a former client of Ishida, who explained to Titan that Ishida had suddenly disappeared without any notice or records, and offered to get him a spot aboard a large ship that would be docking in Persepolis, relatively nearby..
What do you like about this character?
I like the fact that this character feels unique, compared to most of my other characters. I think he would be an interesting character to play as and would be fun to interact with.
How would you rate your role-playing ability?
On a scale of 1-10, I'd say an 8.
