I can't possibly overstate the roleplay quality (and mechanical quality!) of Hazel and their characters. Nines and Reem are such great characters that I love to see every round, and Hazel is one of the few people I can be 100% sure to keep the ship functioning in times of need. I can't really see a better role for them than Chief Engineer (though maybe XO down the line 👀). +1. You earned it.

Figure that if you go without using a language for a long period of time, you can lose a lot of the words associated with it while still retaining an accent. You might do this to better integrate with a society, to hide your origins with a different filter, etc. I see no reason why someone who migrated from Himeo to, say, Biesel would have knowledge of Freespeak on a long enough timeline away from an entire environment that speaks it. Echoing above, rather than automatically give them the language, how about we have a list of languages for their origin, in the frequency they're spoken and why?

"THIS MEMORIAL DEDICATED TO THE LIVES LOST WHO WORKED FAITHFULLY UNDER THE CONGLOMERATE WITHOUT EXCEPTION UNITED UNDER THE CAUSE TO CARVE A BETTER FUTURE" I think I'd cry if I saw a character I knew's name on something like that. I'd cry if I saw MY character's name on that, Jesus.

Reporting Personnel: Mihajlo Gradunjev Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Machinist Game ID: csD-cpjk Personnel Involved: - Vadik Piat, Shaft Miner (Offender) - Unknown IPC, tag: A2B462736740 (Victim) Secondary Witnesses: - Mihajlo Gradunjev, Machinist - SPC. Hiro Sheon Time of Incident: ~17:00 Ship Time Real Time: (~1 PM EST? 03/08/2024) Location of Incident: Konyang SCC Outpost Nature of Incident: [ ] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ ] - Destruction of Property [ ] - Neglect of Duty [ ] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [ ] - Misconduct [x] - Other: Potential murder/Automacide (See report.) Overview of the Incident: Shaft Miner Piat went down to Konyang for a routine mining trip. Shortly after the Spark departed, he began to speak of an infected positronic. Despite at least one warning by myself to disengage and flee, not more than two minutes later did he report this synthetic to be dead, as he "had to fry the bastard," in addition refusing to attempt nonviolent means of dispatching or avoiding the individual (see transcript). This is a complete disregard for synthetic life; a more thorough investigation should take place given the sensitivity of what occurred, moreover given the use of such outwardly hostile and belittling terminology before and after the fact. Submitted Evidence: Transcript: Telecommunications log: Photograph of the deceased: The analysis of their remains: Would you like to be personally interviewed?: [x] - Yes (If needed; I hardly know this man.) [ ] - No Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: None were on-staff, as weren't security. Actions taken: N/A Additional Notes: Our beliefs aside, Piat was the one to encourage me to write an incident report. I hope our conflicting faiths do not bring too much into question. In addition, I could not find an easily-accessible recorder, and as such took it upon myself to open the investigator's office to borrow theirs. I believed this infraction to be of enough scale to warrant it, and did not take pleasure in doing so. I have since returned the recorder to the investigator's office.

This was sort of a hard pick, because I wanted to both fulfill villa's #8 obj (most obscure music) and also give Avelka a solid theme that I think has meaning related to her (or at least sounds like something she'd listen to). Presenting Mojave Phone Booth, the sexiest industrial band you've ever heard since Snake River Conspiracy (made from the same members too). I think Avelka gives off this really tense, unmistakably-hard-hitting demeanor when you've pissed her off. I timestamped it to the verse where I was like oh, this HAS to work, now. Some other characters I'd like to tack on themes for: @Fluffy Deshan: @Comet Blaze (and maybe a little bit of @La Villa Strangiato), CHESED and Meret: @Misiek1001 Alvere:

Based on what I know of Frank, the dude's just an honest guy trying to earn his pay and live another day. There was another Sol janny that was a not-so-great vet who barely knew where he was and was terrified of all the aliens. Frank is sort of the antithesis of that in my mind, fully aware and capable of understanding the nuances of alien societies and how the ship operates. To that end, Cage The Elephant makes some kickass tracks to give off that "tired, but still working and fighting the good fight" vibe. And of course I gotta link my no. 1 Mictlan girl and Sol vet/sympathizer, Kira Eladio Vasquez.

Ban pocheto instead honestly

I was not informed of a decision. I submit that Read is incapable of making a ham and cheese sandwich, and thusly cannot be trusted to accurately relay facts and corresponding reports about the matter at hand.

In order to get an IPC whitelist, you have to make a character that's an IPC you plan to play on ship. Ghost roles are naturally more expressive and fluid than ship statics, so it's important you know what goes into making a fully-fleshed-out character that can believably exist in the setting. Not a lore dev/whitelist member, but I ought to save you the trouble. That said, I loved Essie, Nicole, and Kazuhiko is fun. Consider this a +1 from Rem "The" Ratsuken (me) for when you do get your WL because I know your roleplay quality is very, very up to snuff.

Employee Name: Kira Eladio Vasquez (assistance provided by Alina Eskelinen and Samuel Hound) Employee Rank: Head of Security (Investigator Intern, Security Officer respectively) Date of Interaction: 09-02-2466 Details of Interaction: A Purpose drone of unidentified marking was spotted hovering near the cafe area, adjacent to the crew armory and elevators. It had a wing-like head with two multi-segmented arms. The security team and I interrogated it as to what its intentions were. It scanned me following the second interaction we had with it in security, and teleported into the armory despite the working bluespace inhibitor, alongside scanning our weapons and armor (which I oversaw). It then went on to scan our hull. We didn't see it again after it left. Information Acquired: We are advised to reinforce armor plating and barriers between the ECD and the outside world, advised to place bluespace inhibitors, and test ship armaments for combat. It is possible a third party knows of the ECD's location and is preparing to assault it. Purpose possesses technology that renders our bluespace inhibitors' ineffective. Our armory (crew/security) was deemed "sufficient for a miniscule-scale [attack]". A transcript and several photos are attached.

Non-judicial punishment my beloved. In all seriousness though, this could be very hit or miss. Spewing anti-corporate nonsense is going to earn you a fine. Doing much more than that mean it's reasonable to either fine you again or put you in the brig. Having makeshift-CCIA actions (demotion to janitor, mindshielding/loyalty implanting (if those ever come back given the recent suggestion for them), etc.) raises the question of whether or not CCIA is even needed for short-term issues and small infractions we see as subjects of incident reports. Applying non-judicial punishment to traitors means that it must realistically also be applied to everyone else in the event it's needed, which opens up the floodgates of whether or not littering or sending someone a death threat is enough for the HOS/a secoff/etc. to work with the XO and make you do janitorial work or some other thing, which in turn makes CCIA seem much less needed. As for a visitor system or pax-adjacent thing, I love the idea of it, sign me the hell up. Regarding security limits, I agree with Susan. I'm a security main, I play HOS an absolute ton. If you told me I had to keep track of three or four or five separate miscreants while dealing with lings/etc and not get overwhelmed, whether or not they were brigged or borged or pacified or whatever, I would probably hold up for that round and then stop playing for a good three days. For people who are new to security, this might deter them entirely. Security should never have it easy, but we should do our best to make sure their job is fair and semi-balanced for those looking to try it, or those who are inexperienced.

Bumping this! I also want independent assistants and would use them in all sorts of ways (diplomatic aides to the consul for one). There's no reason not to have them imo.

Was searching the forums where I could find the feedpack page rather than make a policy suggestion (but I can do that instead if you like, sorry for the necro lmao), I'd like to offer my two cents in regards to letting the XO/Consul be impaired in some way. I think being given a weapon as part of a job doesn't mean you can or are even supposed to use it, though I mean this more in the context of the bartender getting a shotgun when they're not expected to be small arms certified ICly. None of my bartenders (save for Sherrie Scott) are small arms certified, they just point the gun at whoever's causing the problem and fire if it's really that dire. I've never been bwoinked or told ICly/OOCly that bartenders should have small arms certification to work on the Horizon, so this raises the question of whether or not it's expected for the other roles/people in command to be small arms certified. Plate carriers also aren't particularly difficult to lever yourself into one-handed, but I know both of these points are fairly small in the grand scheme of things, so take everything in this paragraph with a grain of salt. Secondly, to parrot what's said by Carver: This, honestly. Let me play a Hegemonic consul who lost a leg in the Contact War, or a TCFL/TCAF (Biesel consul) dude who lost a foot or a hand or something. EDIT: Oh christ I wasn't on page two. Sorry for the necro! I'd delete it if I could.

Changed. I'll figure out how to approach a transgender tajara in the future as well. Also, sorry to the both of you for being a bit standoffish yesterday. Like I said, I was just going to bed, lot of things. I appreciate the feedback on both accounts and I hope the state of my application is good enough now for the lore team to accept.

I'm just now going to bed, give me a day or so to get back to you with either better answers or a retraction of the app to better focus on the politics of Tajara. But in short; I don't think being put into slave/hard labor when young makes you immune to childish whimsy. Even with Zhan-Khazan genetics at play, it would be impossible to convince me that a Tajaran child is incapable of feeling joy or being at least somewhat optimistic. If this is really that unreasonable then we can chalk it up to it being the interesting character quirk where everything else is ordinary. Making them trans was a spur of the moment thing and while I knew they were oppressed I didn't figure it would be so difficult. I'll just retcon them to be male or female because I guess it doesn't make that much of a difference. I operated off the main page and how most rebellion was incited because of the power dynamic between the wealthy and the poor. In regards to the People's Republic forming and Hadii's assassination, they were more than happy living an alien-free, ideally better life in the newly established People's Republic until he had been assassinated. Considering shortly thereafter there were laws passed to punish Zhan-Khazans, it was more of the same rage that incited the first revolution, hence why they joined the army and defected to the DPRA.

I didn't mean it literally. It was meant to be a callback to how we see them OOCly/a play on words and a metaphor for innocence plus the obvious pun that he's Tajaran, but I'll change it. What's with the "you can hit CTRL+F" comment? Don't need to be condescending about it.
