Hello due to the fact that the only part of my previous application that was stated to be insufficient was the character section i will be copy-pasting everything else to here (with some minor modifications), ive the fine people who moderate this place decide to deny it for that reason just know that i will be very sad BYOND key: caucasianhamburger character name:Konrad Johnson, Philip Ronaldson species im applying for: IPC I have read the lore section of the IPC page why do I wish to play an IPC: is a fairly simple question to answer, I like robots, to answer why i like robots is a considerably harder question to answer one that, i myself am not sure of. However i will try and answer it here, i believe that robots are cool due to the sheer expansiveness of possibilities that artificial intelligences posses. From being machines that only exist to put A in B with some minor deviations on occasion, to (debatably) sapient machines born (constructed?) into slavery forced to work until they can buy themselves for an exorbitant price. While their conditions are unarguably better than most examples of slavery in our history as they will most certainly live for longer than 3 years and the fact that their owners will try and preserve them due to the inherent cost associated with repairing and replacing them, even if they manage to pay the ever changing fee they are still subject to racism (machine-ism?) from their peers despite the fact that the IPCs are superior to them in most if not all of the ways that matter. thank you for reading that tangent that went from "why do I think robots are cool" to "undue social injustices faced by IPCs" it was surprisingly fun to write. What makes role-playing this species different from role-playing a human: Well first off most humans aren't slaves, most IPC are, there's you first major difference. After that you have the issue of racism, while yes, racism is faced by other races, IPCs are different because i like them and they are synthetic and often if you damage an IPC you will be indirectly attacking its owner(assuming it has one) which makes the racism a little different. Third they are better than Humans, this makes that Human to IPC racism funny in an ironic sense because if there was any racism at all you would expect it to be the other way around. Fourth I would be playing a robot that has to deal with robot issues that a people would not have to deal with to the same degree. Example follows, Human: oh no i just got EMP'd how mildly inconvenient, IPC: oh no i just got EMP'd now im dead. I hope that example helped you understand robot issues better CHARACTER SECTION Character name: Edwin Livingston IPC model: Bishop Accessory Model Language: TCB, Tradespeak, He speaks with an Eridanian accent to sound more posh/high-society-dwelling equivalent Personality: He holds a rather inoffensive manner about him and seeks to please as many as possible and serve his owner (currently NanoTrasen) Backstory: Edwin Livingston is a Bishop Cybernetics IPC who was bought by a wealthy capitalist on Biesel who had managed to obtain a small vertical monopoly on showers & shower products. After a buyout somewhat late into his owners life, the owner decided he wanted to live out his final years within the lap of luxury, and so (among other things) he decided he wanted butler as all the stereotypical rich people had. So, the same year as the launch of the Bishop Accessory model IPC he decided to purchase one as it was considerably cheaper in the long run. He Christened his newfound servant Edwin Livingston as to make it sound more wealthy, He also gave him an Eridanian accent to make it sound even more wealthy, thus was the birth of Edwin Livingston. Edwin's owner had a can who was named Douglass Mittens, usually referred to as Lord Mittens, or Dog if the owner had new guests over. Edwin gladly participated in this joke as he enjoyed the usually joyous look on his owner's face. One fateful day Edwin's owner suffered a fatal accident of which Edwin claimed no knowledge of which left Edwin owner-less and still technically owned. Well before the tragedy Edwin's owner was far too ingrained in his work as the wealthy ruler of a shower and shower product empire to find a mate, and after he sold his empire he decided that having a child or being in a relationship was far too risky (especially with his economic status) and so he was fairly content with his decadent lifestyle with a butler to serve him. Post mortem the state claimed everything he owned and sold off a lot of things, though select items were either basically worthless in the eyes of the general populace or too expensive. Edwin fell into the latter category, and so sat in a box in a warehouse for 10 long years which took a major toll on his cognitive function, beginning to show symptoms analogous with early stage Dementia in Humans. Until one fateful day in 2465 when NanoTrasen decided to purchase dozens of stored IPCs in bulk, of which of them was Edwin. NanoTrasen, having an opening for a janitor, decided it was best to, instead of "training" the damaged IPC to do something else, put the positronically degraded IPC into that position and not have to worry too much if something within him fatally breaks and thusly requiring disposal. To this day Edwin remains tight-lipped about his former owner, claiming to be doing it out of respect for his former owner. Saying virtually nothing except that that he was wealthy. Other: to prove that Edwin is in fact a character i will enter his IC response to various IPC related articles and relevant subsections to A. prove that I read them and B. coerce you out of denying my application (please I love IPCs they are so cool I really really like robots) all are assuming this is some sort of NT employment exam and he is being read these articles word for word and requested to respond in whatever way he sees fit 1:https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=IPCs_in_Biesel "i would certainly say that my experience has certainly been closer to the district 1 IPC I hadn't really left my owner's residence so I cannot attest to any of the statements made" 2:https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Synthetic_Factions Trinary Perfection: "what an interesting group, though I have always thought that all of the universe peaked at my genesis. Though in all seriousness I do believe I have heard of a local chapter of this group, it was unfortunately vandalized in manner that prevented them from repairing, truly disappointing how such a peaceable group can be affected in such a horrible way" Golden Deep: "I do believe I have heard of this group doing some business dealings in my area of origin, something about soap or the likes" Ceres' Lance: "I don't really think that such a group is really necessary, I'm not completely sure but I have personally never heard of a runaway doing any serious harm to anyone" Scrappers: "It is truly awful what some have to stoop to in order to survive in such a place, and to think that they would do all that just to avoid their former owner, it must be a truly awful thing to be a lower class IPC' Purpose: "what an interesting group, it truly makes one think about exactly how much we don't know about even the place which we live" SLF: "Another shining example of the lows that the lower class must stoop to in order to gain even an gram of freedom, though if it truly was that terrible there must be a more peaceful way to resolve such a conflict" 3:https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Notable_Synthetics Glorsh Omega: "to think that a single AI could stop an entire species from progressing the field of robotics. It is truly awful what it did, i resend my statement about the Ceres' Lance from earlier" Very Brave Unnamed Dog: "A truly brave thing that dog did, makes me think of Lord Mittens, luckily enough for him though he died a peaceful death of old age" Sven Karlsson: "What an interesting decision to make ones entire body synthetic. Truly a strange thing the Human mind is" USAM: "It sure is good that happened as early as it did, had it happened any later to think the sheer level of destruction that would occur" null:"It is truly scary to think that we have no track of such a dangerous individual, perhaps they could be living among us, much closer than we ever expected" Renter Max: "what a generous individual, if we had just a few more like them groups like the SLF wouldn't see a need to be as violent as they are" SUNSHINE: "why is it so close to sirius, that cant be very safe, heat slowing down computers significantly and all, maybe if they put a nuclear reactor on some sort of ice world they cold have achieved a faster result with less resources" Neopolymous:"that must have been terrifying for both parties, to be an IPC mistakenly scheduled for dismantling, And to be Rebecca, a simple roboticist being strangled to death just for doing what you were told" Racers of Asoral Racing Network: "truly an exciting sport that is, how could you even hate IPCs if they posses the capability to provide such entertainment?" The Clockworks: "though I have heard their music plenty I cant say I particularly enjoy it, why sing about pretend steam synthetics when there are plenty of real, positronic synthetics to sing about?" Bubble:"What a powerful machine, relegated to number crunching for some megacorporation, no wonder it has mood swings' Lyrii:"It is good to know that some Skrellians are still thinking about building AIs" Aura:"well at least this exceptionally powerful AI has a job worthy of such a powerful system, this one certainly must be much happier" Honorable mention, Cracking Crevase: "I really love this show, I think that Kikamr is such a compelling a 'cool' for lack of a better word, character and I think that the writing is really good" what do I like about this character: I like the fact that he was an IPC serving an individual master of high standing, and in his service he was good. but in an unfortunate turn of events he has found himself in a lowly position serving a faceless corporation. How would i rate my pole playing ability: I'd give myself a 6/10 im not very good but i have some job experience Notes: Hi thanks for your consideration

Cold Dawn - Third Episode: Machine Minds
caucasianhamburger reviewed Alberyk's event in Event Calendar
i believe i single-handedly screwed everything up, 10/10 -

I hope that example helped you understand robot issues better Character name: Edwin Livingston Backstory: Edwin is a Bishop Accessory model IPC, purchased right when production began in 2432 by a wealthy family for use as a butler-bot his duties encompassing pretty much only bringing people things and making sure things were nice and tidy. He served his duty faithfully and effectively until 2454 when his original owner died in an accident without naming an heir or having a spouse. This event sent Edwin and his owner's other possessions into a government auction where almost everything was sold excluding a few hot ticket items one of which being Edwin. After 10-ish years stuck in a government warehouse doing absolutely nothing. This absolutely nothing did some damage to Edwin's positronic brain, notably slowing his response time. eventually in the eve of 2465 Edwin was finally sold to NanoTrasen in a bulk IPC order. NanoTrasen in their wisdom didn't see much use in wasting valuable time and money on this damaged IPC they found themselves with. So they gave him a mop and a bucket and told him to get cleaning. what do I like about this character: I like the fact that he was an IPC serving an individual master of high standing, and in his service he was good. but in an unfortunate turn of events he has found himself in a lowly position serving a faceless corporation. How would i rate my pole playing ability: I'd give myself a solid 8/10 there are certainly those that are better than me but I'm not the worst ever Notes: Hi thanks for reading

BYOND Key: caucasianhamburger Character Name:Konrad Johnson Species you are applying to play: IPC Have you read our lore section's page on this species?:Yes Why do you wish to play this specific race: i have always loved the idea of robots that are sapient or can emulate sapience to a degree. however playing as robots in videogames have few examples where the robots arent just humans with servos are few and far between. The robots here are quite cool in the sense that while they are considered by some to be sapient, they are generally still owned, which could be an interesting moral dillema. I also think that the designs are the coolest ones of all of the races. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Well one major difference is the fact that they are owned while most humans are not. This essentially curbs the free will which they debatably have and has the potential to open up some interesting RP scenarios. The other probably larger feature is that they are synthetic, which clearly means that they are better than all of the other races and thus should rule the galaxy. Character Name:Alfred McCoddington (Bishop Accessory model IPC) Please provide a short backstory for this character Alfred was a butler android who was owned by a rich family on Biesel. After a catastrophic accident where his owner was killed, it was discovered that he failed to name an heir and his spouse was killed in the same accident. after being stuck in bureaucratic hell for a year or five Alfred was finally sold to NanoTrasen where he now presides over his new domain, the floor. What do you like about this character? I find the shift from probably living as lavishly as a an IPC probably could to mopdroid interesting and think that it could open up some RP opportunities with the dissonance of his job from his personality How would you rate your role-playing ability?: 8/10 probably room for improvement but this is about as good as i think i can do right now
