I think even when the Storyteller decides it is going to be like this I'd like for the Horizon crew to go down and Build an entire FOB, that I saw on the first test with all Six Departments since even if it is a full on combat mission we return to the FOB every now and then anyway and that's some great time for some roleplay while you rest, sort yourself, refill your ammo and head back out. (It'd be pretty funny if the FOB gets overrun and we have to hold the service area like a waffle house too) ((Hell make them pull out a limited Menu)) An SOP Supporting every department going down would be great, just so we don't have any discussion around it and everything gets done quicker.

I've read through this and upping Secoff and Shaft Miner to "Alright" would be beneficial because those jobs do go into the line of "Is this worth my Life" and I really don't think any Security officer would lift a finger for the Chainlink if the Vault is being robbed or whatever is going on canonically for not even 5k a month or a shaft miner would just go out once and get the bare minimum because they don't feel like the extra risk is worth the extra materials. Alternatively for Security and Miners they could get paid by performance on top of their regular pay. For example a shaft miner takes some extra risk and gets a lot of Ore out of the haul then they get a bonus. For security the Horizon gets boarded they get repelled they get a bonus or they defend the Horizon crew during an event successfully or manage to evacuate the crew successfully they get a bonus. I agree with what Ben said about the insurance policy, because really if you want those people to hop in front of bullets if shit hits the fan they better be sure that whatever the Injuries they had to take for the Chainlink would get Insured properly.

BYOND Ckey: tzui5020 Discord username: taser5162 Character names: Parsa Asayesh, Samuel Hound, Yasuko-14, Z.I Seeker, Za'Akaix'Pwe K'lax, ISU-Shining, and so on the list is too long at this point. Species you are applying to play: Tajara M'sai ------------------------------ General Whitelist Requirements What colour do you plan on making your first alien character?: Wheat Have you read the lore pages for the species you wish to be whitelisted for?: 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 species?: To be completely Honest with you if you know me, I am a big history guy and especially when its about war and I really enjoy the history of the Tajaran species when it comes to that fact. I like the way it mimics real life occurrences and how it is still in the aurora setting but seemingly years behind in human history. The Articles written by the Tajaran lore team especially the ones during the second revolution really have that style of writing that I really enjoy and you hear about all of these pushes and retreats with propaganda sprinkled into the articles. I really got into the DPRA due to how they operate as a decentrilized faction with parts of them being Militaristic while parts of them being Civilian and that they are just not as advanced as the other factions because they steal their research but they just use it better and they got nuked and still kept fighting and took the city back. What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: Well when we put aside the obvious differences of biological differences. There are lots of cultural differences that Tajarans have over Humans especially because they are not as culturally advanced as Humans they have/had a caste system based on ethnicity of the Tajarans as humans did way before and there is still oppression of many beliefs and ways of living that are more usual in human space these days. Most Tajarans have also lived through a war on the ground as soldiers or as civilians but everyone was affected by the push and pull of the three factions. The Three factions interacting with eachother is also very interesting since all of them have differing views on what is best for adhomai and the tajaran people. ------------------------------ Character Application Character Name: Ramzi Ma'jid Write a backstory for your character. This may include their origin, education, personality and how they arrived to the SCCV Horizon. I decided the best way to show you a character was by making the character talk to you directly but for the sake of someone having to read this I left out the rolling of r's Act 1 Olska He was born in 2443 in the city of Olska during a difficult birth, which tragically took his mothers life and left his father grieving. His father, a veteran from the first revolution, believed that a strong son would bring forth a better future for Adhomai. As such, he was trained from a young age to hunt and fight, he would say that he is thankful for his fathers efforts, because he is alive now and speaking to you, if it was due to the training he does not know but he believes that it was. Even if it wasn’t he enjoys the memories of the time he spent with his father. His father taught him Siik’tajr aswell, in school, he learned how to write and read Siik’Maas which he wasn’t very proficient at but it was enough for him but he sees that his childhood is rather boring for them so he will jump a bit forward in time to the day where everything changed. One day, he was visiting his sick friend as he did not have many and leaving her alone would be very unkind of him, especially as her Mother was out of town watching the military parade, just like his father, they were watched by her neighbour at the time. After some time she turned on the Television to watch the parade too but she tuned in at the wrong time as it was shortly before President Hadii’s assassination. Act 2 The Mountains It was all so fast, he remembers staring at the Television even after the neighbor quickly turned it off and his friend was crying and balling her eyes out. His father picked him up a few days after and ran off with him and brought him to a “safe” place in Olska with other children from defecting families. His father told him that he had to leave to fight for what he believed is right , he didn’t understand at the time but the papers he read spoke of major Victories of the Winter offensive but his father never returned and he was left to fend for himself until a distant uncle took him in. He was naive at the time and believed his uncle was there to save him, bring him far away from this war that had already taken everything from him but he was stupid the war only took and never returned. His uncle wanted him to be a fighter for the ALA so he was put on a ship towards southern Ras’nrr and as soon as he arrived he was put to work fighting for a guerilla cell day in and day out he either trained or fought, he hated it. He remembers the Twenty-Fourth day of November of 2458 where he and a few others went to burn villages around Nal’tor while the larger guerilla forces headed to the city itself. He managed to ambush the local enforcers and overwhelm them. It wasn't hard as they were like confused fatshouters trying to find their zhsram as they strayed far from their herd and were picked off by a pack Ha’rron. He was ordered to stop every PRA aligned tajaran from leaving the village alive. He did as he was told like a good soldier would and fired upon every tajaran he saw, He is disgusted by his actions on that day but he remembers a life he possibly saved that day the life of a younger tajara he believes she was around his age, it was a Njarir, he is certain. She was running away with her mother holding her hand. He fired at them but missed to signal to them that they have been spotted and she should run faster so she could escape but one of his comrades took aim at them too, he had to act and bumped his comrade and threw off his aim enough for the Njarir and her mother to open the gate and escape the burning village and this hell. His Comrades if he even can call them that weren’t happy with his mercy and in their eyes sabotage so on the way back to camp they grabbed him and bound him to chair with rope as they took turns beating and slashing him but as he was fading in and out of consciousness he could only think of his childhood friend, the only friend that stood by him all those years ago. After they were bored with him, they decided to leave a mark, one that would never fade. Ramzi lifts his right hand with the missing ring finger He doesn’t miss his finger much as through the loss of his finger he can assure himself that if he finds his friend again he can look her in her eyes, proud of what he has survived and as a tajaran rather than a beast. His Uncle never returned from Nal’tor however, even though his Uncle brought him to this fate he was still family and as he is now older he can forgive him for pulling him into this conflict. Act 3 Das'nrra He spent a few months with the same guerilla cell eagerly awaiting his sixteenth birthday so he could fight for the last thing he had left in his life. The day he turned sixteen he left his “Comrades” and his atrocities in the mountains. He was proud to sign up to be a true soldier and during his training he learned a lot from the veterans and they truly did a good job to prepare them for battle but nothing could’ve prepared us for the upcoming battle. He found some friends in the base they were trained at, good friends. They were all shipped out to the Das’nrra front to reinforce the Das’nrra offensive to finally push the PRA off the Island. When they arrived at the front he was greeted with true comradery and brotherhood, he enjoyed the short respite that his comrades gave him. The next day he was deployed into an active forward offensive as shots rang out near him and the screams of the fallen overtook his senses…He remembered all the years before, he remembered what his father taught him and he returned fire. He still hears the sound of his comrades…No, friend's helmet being punctured when he attempted to peek out of cover. He managed to survive the battle but he had no time to mourn the loss of his friend. He was a Zhan, a very brave zhan. He saw flashes on the horizon as the republican guard descended on the PRA defensive positions to reinforce them as the cowards ran for the ships. The Republican guard held against the assault even as their position was crumbling. He never believed a Hadiist could fight so well but they didn’t fight well enough to avoid being shot by the Das’nrra marksmen. He heard a war cry roll over the hill as the horde of men stood up and charged the last hold of the republican guard and with that his last friend, a fellow M’sai was shot during the charge and slowly bled out onto his white fur as he could do nothing to save them. He never knew their names but he thanks them for their sacrifice. Act 4 Little Adhomai After the armistice was signed, he was discharged from the military. He had nowhere to go anymore, The war was over, He had no purpose anymore. He couldn’t return to his hometown anymore as it was NKA territory. He thought that after the first revolution and the fight his Father fought that there would be no more monarchism upon Adhomai, but well - stupid people exist everywhere. Remember, he told you he was stupid once before, you could say that is how he came to sit here in front of you. He decided to leave Adhomai, to leave the blood in the snow behind and start a new life so he called an old comrade of his to help him off-world but as Crevus is, everything has a catch so he had to guard the smugglers wares as they headed off-world towards Tau Ceti and his new life. When they arrived at Little Adhomai, he didn’t have any money to buy shelter but a tajaran in a suit approached him with an offer he couldn’t refuse, because he was in need of credits. He worked in a restaurant as a bartender for some time and then war found him again as the Little Adhomai riots began and his home with all of his belongings was burnt down. He decided to do what he is best at and signed up with the Kazarrhaldiye Operations Group that was taking lots of second revolution veterans in at the time and giving them safer jobs than what was found in Little Adhomai. That is how, after some time, he landed here on the Horizon. How has the recent events of the Orion Spur impacted your character? Events such as the Phoron Scarcity, the Solarian Collapse or even the Invasions of Biesel for interstellar-wide affairs, while region-specific events such as the Peacekeeper Mandate, The Titan Rises or even Cold Dawn may impact your character. In the Second Revolution he was taken as a child soldier and forced to do heinous shit that he is even disgusted by all these years later. When he finally joined a formal military for the Das'nrra offensive he was again hit with the horrors of war and new found respect for the ones who stood and fought that war instead of running. It changed him from the sweet child he was before into a hardened veteran having lost the chance to be a child and have a proper education for training regimes to make him a soldier. In Little Adhomai he started to settle in, even got a nice job in a Restaurant but then a molotov was thrown through the Restaurant's window and as the Restaurant and his Apartment burned down so did his New Life and that's how he got into KOG in the first place - to do what he was evidently good at and make money to fund and try to somehow salvage a happily ever after. How does your character view the megacorporation they work for? The Kazarrhaldiye Operations Group for Ramzi is a means to an end as he cannot easily get a job anywhere else due to a lack of formal education or really any training that would put him in a stable job that could carry him to retirement. KOG pays him for what he is good at and he doesn't stay in one place for too long either so he doesn't have to worry much about his home being taken over or burnt down while he is away and his belongings are always safe with him but after so much fighting he doesn't know how long he can keep going but this is his only option.

Immidiate +1 I genuinely thought they already had their Command WL simply because they were so good, Interaction with Off-ships is 10/10, Interaction with crew 10/10, even during extended when a security problem happens they handle it well , Brother I'd give them a +2 if I could. Edit: Even when an Accident happened they were handling stuff well.

I know this man, a great guy 10/10 +1 He's a great roleplayer too and also ambitious.

+1 I haven't played for a while but I think this idea is cool as hell and for me it makes great sense that something like this would be developed and I think its written damn well on a lighter note: HOLY SHIT DEATHTROOPERS ARE SO REAL!!

+1 HATSUNE MIKU!?!? but really its a great WL if you ask me you can see that it had a lot of effort and care put into it

As the actor of Jim Ariel, I loved everything about it from getting frozen and the reaction of despair from my fellow actors after I was Frozen and later died to an Infection. I didn't really Interact with Most of the crew but the Security Banter kept everything fun and I see myself playing an actor a lot more and if this is the worst case scenario I wonder what the best would look like Unpopular opinion but I think the standard round time should be extended to 3 hours for oddyssey since the decision to just kidnapp the Investigator was kinda rushed so we could get things going but other then that.

The Lab assistant is in a weird spot as Some people see it as a Full learner role that should switch to the full role and not stay as an LA forever but Some people think the LA is a Long Term Role that can be used as a job and My Opinion is the latter as I think learner roles should be for High Stress Roles like Security or Medical where you don't have much time to check the wiki or ask in OOC and wait for an answer but in Sci you can since I don't know about many time constraints and RnD is just a List of things you need to do and then you can get to the other stuff and if it was supposed to be a learner role the Age should've been higher so that they can transfer but this means that many characters have to be retconned.

That'd be very cool and as it is just the officers sights its just a nice way to Spectate the frontlines and React Accordingly even tho I will miss using the Radio to communicate back and forth and even if an antag is spotted on the bodycam the officer already saw him, its just the same effect plus not everybody is going to watch the Bodycams 24/7 and even if they are and it is a Dangerous antag the Officer still has to walk his ass back to the security armory to get gear and then its basically just a Very helpful spectating camera for wardens ,HoS and Investigator to spectate and Communicate with the officers instead of Guessing what's happening or just walking there and they could like every other camera open up to full security viewing on blue or even be Standard Helmet cameras instead so the Officer has to put the Helmet on on blue for it to even work (The helmet is also easily removeable by antags so if they want to kidnap an officer they can just take off the helmet or get them on green where they can't wear a helmet). ((It'd be damn harrowing to see your officers dead on the Helmet/Bodycam while you flip through))

As a Fellow Z.I enjoyer all I have to say is this Very good character I enjoy working and roleplaying with the character.

I think the main point is time even if the trade off is us being More Powerful I perfer being able to respond to Mercs and whatever the fuck in a good amount of time and wouldn't you think the admin team would find it a bit suspicious that you convieniently havd four combat hardsuits sitting in the corner unfinished or and entire combat mech in a box also convieniently Unfinished? But I don't like the incredibly High lethality we have already with the only drawback being we sit in medical for a good while if we do escelate to a big firefight people should be more careful, we aren't walking tanks, using cover and suppression should be feard like a good mechanical combat system that's realistic would serve this really well sicne everybody would think twice before escelating to a gunfight. science guns just essentially deleting the antag in one shot isn't fun for anyone well maybe for the scientist because they made somthing cool but that'll whine off when they make it every round just in case. and even if we keep it like this I'd like some good non and less lethal options just so we could have antags survive and have the possibility of breaking out to keep their gimmick going or have a good interrogation and actually give the warden something to do, I know it's maybe a stupid Idea or Just straight up a bad one but its Disheartening to have Five hostiles announced and then only being able to process one and only being able to hear their a bit which is not always the case because the one that survived convieniently surrendred..

As I've said it is really fun to do teamwork even if its just boring most of the Time Security won't ask anything from the machinist in fear of being bwoinked but really early in my days we used the help of engineers to breach the antag shuttles. Science could make Combat drugs or cool Implants to help security and so on and so forth making security the main frontliners while the others help with Logisitics, Just imagine a fully hyped up on hyperzine sec team going from Light armor with SMGs to Heavy Hardsuits , a mech, good guns and so on to really fight off a Full merc team really dispersing securitys power into the crew and making them more reliant on others to fight bigger threats,

AHHH, I'm late but its a clear +1 from me. I interacted with Mueller during a Rather weird round but they handled everything very well and I appreciate you for letting me use your Fax machine.

What I mean by this is VIABLE non-lethal weaponary even when used against armored targets since all of our Non or less Lethal options can be damn easily Negated with flashbangs you just pop your sunglasses with extra features stingers are a good less-then lethal option for ANY situation that's what I like about them but I see the point you are making lone-antagging is damn hard even if you are pretty robust and know what you are doing. This is just a suggestion that was on my mind, the warden could access the Less and non-lethal weponary while the Lethal ones were barred and only acquireable with Command access but then there is the issue with Hivebots and what not its Balancing is an Incredibly hard thing to do. but I would lovingly use a good non-lethal option that is not easily negateable by armor or sunglasses and it would make medicals life slightly easier and give the warden more work to do. and just as an add on, the ship events like Hivebots/blob/Vines and such do make us play together more and with the Pirate base or cult base off-ships there are lots of diffrent tactics security can undertake with the help of engineering/Operations/Bridge Like to tilt the chances in their favour but this is slightly off-topic. Oh and thank you for the back and forth and reading my Arguement and I agree with you on the rest of the points.

I mean, Most of my charachters perfer laser weaponary then ballistics and the diffrence is they don't have a High delay and as said do more AP and absolutely Singe the antag even giving them hard to repair damage since they have to recover the inevitable blood lost when you get hit with a Laser for comparison I shot an Antag ONCE and he was falling over for the entire rest of the round until he was arrested and brought to medical, Lasers are more effective then Ballistics they get balanced out by the short magazine size, hell powerful laser weapons like LWAP can Disable an Entire exosuit if used correctly. Now, that is why we are using an Intermidiate Poly 5.56 Cartridge in the first place since 5.56 doesn't have much Overpen atleast not on a Steel wall and a bullet after richoet tends to not cause the same amount of damage as if it came straight out of the barrel. what I want to say is the choice between Laser- and a Ballistic Rifle is down to prefrence since I haven't seen one Lord over the other Balance wise. and personnaly , we are balanced for the worst possible situation like Mercs which can Still wipe security if done well due to them getting fully automatic guns with 7.62 and more often then not some kind of thermal Vision. I think the armory should have more options for Lighter threats instead the Big Bulky heavy armor and rifles only being Reserved for High Risk Situations and there is just a Low risk section that would be applicable to most situations it having like maybe a Tranquilizer rifle and all of it being Non-lethal or Less-lethal options like rubber rifle ammo or a Stun orientated Laser rifle with okay armor pen that cause mostly pain. and lethal ammo only being used when the antags running Heavy Armor full sized rifle or a Full merc team deciding to roll up and steal Ian forcefully or something along those lines. The rant is Lethals as LAST option even after the Exosuits and Hardsuits have been brought out they should get more non-lethal options too other then the taser on the Exosuit and Ecarbine on the hardsuit (maybe a tranquilizer dart?)

Just saying something here, No argueing just trying to broaden this a bit, Nanopaste is the only way an IPC can self-heal in a Pinch if they need it, and if we added components it could be exclusively acting as something as IPC first aid and a small nerf reducing how many are in the stack yes, but since we can't self heal every IPC is generally fucked after combat and especially the Lighter frames so nanopaste could be nerfed to act like duct tape for voidsuits or a splint, Just keeping the part alive for one or two shots until they can reach a machinist and get healed properly, You know?

1, Well, One Thing I'd like to see added is a Notification for certain Damage threshholds just so an IPC knows how they're doing midfight giving them an Incentive to retreat because now you have to either wait three seconds or click on yourself to see how you're doing it would maybe be a Buff or QoL. 2. I'd like some kind of component system that changes depending on Frame for example a G2 can't be repaired normally and has to replace external armor plating for external damage or the Xion has an Internal heatsink and so on things tied to their Abilities and maybe coolant for shells that they bleed out instead of them being air cooled like everyone else or maybe just a few Generic ones like Hydraulics , air circulation systems and so on. (These could be affected by EMPs too instead of just turning you off because it can happen where you just sit in a Corner for three Hours straight without doing anything and the game can say something like EMP DETECTED and it'd give you a good reason to pull out of the fight basically putting you on a Timer like bleeding)

Just adding on to that, Because it wasn't here before

BYOND Ckey: tzui5020 Discord username: tzui5020 Character names: Samuel Hound, Hans Jaeger, Sebastian Richter, Z.I seeker, Liu-su. Species you are applying to play: ------------------------------ General Whitelist Requirements What colour do you plan on making your first alien character?: (RGB 130, 150, 20) (Vedhra's Vaucrea) Have you read the lore pages for the species you wish to be whitelisted for?: Yes (I wonder why this question is here sometimes) 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 species?: Well, It all started when I Stumbled upon the Kata Off-ship and saw you could play a K'laxan but you needed the WL so I started reading a bit and kept on Reading and what Fascinated me the Most was the War in Heaven Arc where Tupii and Zakaii are having an Unfathomable battle inside of Virutal Reality shrouded in mystery I can't imagine How warfare would work there but its Really intresting and I want to know where it goes. I read up a bit more on their History and the Lii'dra and Saw the Incredible Yellow of Vedhra and the Great Hive war reminds me a bit of WW1 and that after that Sedantis was De-stabilised up until they had to go with the Exodus because sedantis was going to get absorbed into the sun in 300 Years so in short The History really Hooked me. Now we get to the Vaucrae Themselves in-game people don't think about them much and treat them like well bugs I heard about the Great Hive war but didn't really think about it now that I've read it I understand the Hierarchy the Casts and How VR training affects them and how they think about the Hive more then about their personal needs. From the Broods I didn't pick Vedhra only for the Holy Yellow , I like the Lii'dra Paranoia and how Vedhra's Za's get trained to fight them and that its a Reasonable fear to have due to the Losses they caused in the Great Hive war. What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: Setting the Mechanical Diffrences aside , Their way of thinking is diffrent due to them being Trained and focused to one Task whatever it may be. They also think more communaly then humans while Humans would care for themselves , making a Family , Finding friends and so on but the Vaucrae thinks about the Needs of their hive and Brood before anything. The fact that they have VR technology and how it is usually a Very nice and happy place and that it can be used to train and that when they die they get transferd into that Realm makes their relationship with Death more light. They also Eat K'ois which causes issues for other people which could cause discrimination, For Example the Cursed asteroids or in Flagsdale where they are Protesting to have the remaining phoron distributes to vaucrae. ------------------------------ Character Application Character Name: Za'akaix'Pwe'K'lax Write a backstory for your character. This may include their origin, education, personality and how they arrived to the SCCV Horizon. Za'akaix'Pwe'K'lax from the Vedhra brood has been trained to fight Lii'dra in the Retek or Diffrent Trials which has grown to be his Favorite activity due to the sheer hatred he harbinges for Lii'dra and him always playing making new strategies Improvising and passively Improving his combat and his Hatred for Lii'dra growing with every trial and war game when Pwe was out of VR and doing his standard duties he awaited the day he'd face down the Lii'dra menace. His Improvisation Improved that in his Mind a Weapon to kill a Lii'dra could be a rock or an Energy glaive it didn't matter to him aslong as it killed the One that killed so many of his Hive before. Za'akaix'Pwe'K'lax would Jump to any Mention of Lii'dra presence without hesitation, even tho he hates the Lii'dra without compromise he tries but fails to keep a Cool head even when Confronted in VR but that doesn't mean he turns Reckless, Pwe ups his Brutality and Ruthlessness believing that Lii'dra are the Enemy of all Lifeforms he doesn't give them mercy for him they don't have a right to live. Pwe Believes the Lii'dra took his fellow Vaucrae Lives due to them being pure evil. Due to the lack of Resources of his Brood Pwe's Ta send him to the Vek'tak phalanx to send money back to the Hive. This is where he learned about other Cultures learned how to use their weapons in person and saw how they fought and tried to replicate it not always to Success but Pwe is always trying to get better through learning from other species and trying to spread his message of Hating the Lii'dra tho that is rather hard due to his Voice Synthesizer being rather cheap. He was assigned to the SCCV Horizon and due to the Multi-cultural nature of the workplace he hopes to find out more and due to the expeditionary nature of the Horizon to maybe find the Lii'dra threat and destory it once and for all. How has the recent events of the Orion Spur impacted your character? Events such as the Phoron Scarcity, the Solarian Collapse or even the Invasions of Biesel for interstellar-wide affairs, while region-specific events such as the Peacekeeper Mandate, The Titan Rises or even Cold Dawn may impact your character. The event that mostly affects Za'akaix'Pwe'K'lax is the War in Heaven arc. Za'akaix'Pwe'K'lax doesn't Really understand why they are fighting eachother and wasting away their Warforms and warriors against eachother instead of focusing on the True enemy the Lii'dra as they could attack any day at any Moment without warning and if they do and Vaukind doesn't have the manpower due to the ongoing succession war it might mean the end of all Free Lifeforms. How does your character view the megacorporation they work for? Pwe likes the Dislike of the Vaucrae that Every member of the Vek'tak shares against the Lii'dra and is curios about the "adventures" and opportunity the Vek'tak phalanx brings. Notes:

Hey, Thank you for the response. Self-Persevation also called Directive Zero by some people has many Interpretations for example it could be an IPC Bartender learning how to cook to keep his Job secure by being versatile and by keeping his Job secure he keeps money flowing to his account which he'd use for maintenance and power. To make this a little more clear we're going to Grab the Two IPCs from my App and look at their Self-Preservation Directive ISS-Omega due to him being restricted in his Job all the Time he sees Self-Preservation as Keeping His Frame and Positronic intact and to Only act in Index's Interest and not his own or anybody else's. This comes from him being in a corporation Heavy Environment (Eridani) and him being Owned by Index which logically means if he goes against Corporate Interest he'll be scrapped. The IPC that works for Zeng-Hu we'll call him Ki-won (because I forgot to name him in the app) he developed a lot so he had multiple Interpretations but for simplicities sake we're going to Focus on two things: How He Started out , When He got Friends. When He simply worked for Zeng-Hu at his Desk-Job it was pretty standard Keeping Himself safe and Having a Stable Job when He got His Friends it added on To Stay with His friends , Because they were Important to Him and if he needed any help either by keeping up the other two or any help in general he knew his friends would be there for him because he was there for them. Now to my Z.I Seeker due to him being wiped this will be TWO Different Interpretations of Self-Preservation one pre-wipe and one after-wipe. Pre-Wipe His Pre-Wipe self with his Brother was Physical Self-Preservation mostly and Preserving the Life of His Battle Buddy since they spent Five years together. His brother was Very Important to him , Because His Brother was always reliable and always there for him to help him with his Physical Self-Preservation or other Simpler Things and when he abandoned his post the decision was made between a rock and a Hard place. After-Wipe Now this being Him now after he has been wiped his new Interpretation would be Physical Self-Preservation and Keeping his Knowledge (Avoid being Wiped) that made him make the decisions of keeping himself hidden by putting a mask on and muting himself unless he has to speak, Because if he goes to his Handler for barely anything she won't have Face or Voice to remember him by since he hands in his report in writing and when there's nothing else he leaves and since he doesn't bring any Major Complaints in and the Minor ones (when there even are any) sometimes forgetting him since he just looks so Rank and File. He wants people to forget about him so they can forget his mistakes and not report them and by Putting himself in that position he is trying to avoid the mistake that got him wiped even tho he doesn't know what it was he is sheltering himself behind a mask until he can one day Seek out a Way to gain his Freedom. (He keeps this a secret from everyone not even talking about it its just in his Head) He also wants to Acquire more Knowledge to be better at his Job so he can Fulfill every other part of his Interpretation. To answer this question I can say that I will try and How I will Try to do better. I will gather more experience from other IPC players and Observe how they play their IPCs. If I think something about a Character Concept of Mine could be iffy I will ask if it is a Viable thing for an IPC to do. Before I try anything more advanced again I will gather more Experience with it myself so that I can reliably portray IPC by Naturally going through Development and exploring those stages when I get there with a Character that explored a Previous one. (does this make sense?) If I don't understand something Fully I will ask someone else to expand my Knowledge (probably Stryker I asked him a lot of questions at un-godly Hours the past few days) I believe I found the Previous Problem and how to avoid making the same mistake again tho I will not mention it here. And before I even Made the WL app I thought about it and how I could do better instead of just wanting to get it back , I believe I can learn from my Mistakes and do better. This is for you to decide but I am willing to do better and I will do my Best to play my little Robots. Thank you for Reading all of this and I hope the answers are satisfactory.

One paragraph minimum per question. Why do you wish to play this species?: As I've said before I really Like IPC lore tho it can be a Headache to Find most of it since its Scattered over many planets and clutures but that's why its Great, since IPCs are viewed upon diffrently from the entire spur and Corporations what I mean by this is that There is No In lore rule on How IPCs Should be Treated as an Example we have Bruszia and Zavodski who Treat their IPCs like tools but wipe them regularaly tho Zavod only wipes them when they underperfrom to keep quality up, Meanwhile Zeng-Hu Treats Their IPCs Rather Loosley even Granting them freedom if they do especially well , PMCG Depends on PMC the one I thought was really Intresting was Index Security soloutions they keep their IPCs forever and have ATAs which makes them stick out and give you really good opportunities for Roleplay with Threat assesment. Oh and don't get me started on the Spurs Factions on one hand we Have Dominia that uses them as "Malign spirits that have to be destroyed" in their Religion and on the Other Hand we Have Konyang which has lots of Freedoms for IPCs and even puts them in schools has IPC cuisine and Treats them as if they were just like other sentients. It can also be like Elyra where their Population and Culture sees them as soulless but with the Synthetic Citizenship Act they have been given rights by the government. Alright Enough with that now to the Positronic Brain which is Incredibly Complex resembling the Human Brain by Gaining knowledge and Memories and using them to better itself which does add to the Controversy of them being Sentient or Not .Personnaly I believe they are since an ability to Learn is a Trait found in many Sentients even if its Programmed they aren't simply limited to their Programming and they Can be more , they can Form a Terrorist Pirate group (Exclusionists) or Join the IAC and help people , even make and lead a Religion in form of the Trinirary Perfection which sees them as divine. With That Knowledge there is also a Diffrence in ability of a Young Factory New IPC and an Old IPC that's been through a lot for Example let's take Z.Is as an Example, as my Character is one, a Freshly made Z.I will do his Job according to his programming and isn't very adaptable to situations where it hasn't gatherd much Knowledge yet , Meanwhile an Older Z.I who has been at this for Let's say Ten years will know all the Tricks of the Craft and also be more adaptable and capable to situations even if they aren't withing its Programming. Head on Z.I young vs Z.I Old the Older Z.I would win most of the Time. Corporations that Value the quality of a certain service they put their IPCs through an Orientational Course Those being Zeng-Hu and Idris. What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: Alright, So Humans and Organics In general start off with Hormones and have parents and Full Childhoods which then forms their Personalities and What they take for Their Jobs For Example John Doe , Goes to work for Ringspire every Morning but he Thinks the Pay is rather Lacking and can't support his kids but he is a Very Skilled Fighter so he gets Deployed for many Things where he has to do things that make him sick to his Stomach even hesistating a few times which get him or his Colleagues Shot, so he starts looking for a New Job so he goes to colleage and gets a Degree in Robotics and Starts working for Hepheastus a Job which he Likes way more and also pays him better there he Finds the Love of his Life and they Live happily Ever after. Meanwhile The IPC is Built for his Job its is Programmed to do its Job and has to develop Feelings over time if it even is in an Enviroment where it can Develop which isn't always the case for this I will Have two Examples First one is ISS-Omega it is Owned IPC and its get thrown into his Job The First day its Technically Born and Following his Programming he is Ruthless and is neutralizing Threats no matter what no matter who and it doesn't even get paid and it doesn't even have a Concept of Love or what Grief the families of the people he Neutralizes feel so he keeps going doing his Job Blindly Until he Inevitably meets his end either by being dismantled and replaced or Shot in the Positronic. The Second IPC Lives on Konyang and works for Zeng-Hu at a Standard Desk Job due to him Living on Konyang which is a Great place to Develop and his colleagues drag him out for Activities rather often and he slowly figures these activities are positive things that he can do while off work so he goes out with his Colleagues which he sees as friends due to their Care for him and one of his Friends takes him out for dinner just them two and he doesn't understand yet but after a few years he also gets a Concept of Love by Mirroing their friend, how nice they are to him and Observing other couples at his workplace where he began to slowly Understand and they live with eachother for Years before he reaches the end of his Positronic lifecycle. ( he never Started Flirting it was just his Friend even after he reached the end of his Positronic Lifecycle he never understood it truly.) ------------------------------ Character Application Character Name: Z.I Seeker Write a backstory for your character. This may include their origin, education, personality and how they arrived to the SCCV Horizon. The Wiping Let's start with the story of why he was wiped at Four years old since it is Important for his current views of Zavodski. The Vessel he was assigned to protect was ambushed and Boarded by Pirates after a Failed attempt at Repelling the Boarding due to the Lack of Manpower the Current Captain Ordered an Immidiate evacuation of the vessel and he was assigned to guard an escape pod during the evacuation but when he saw another Z.I crawling to his escape pod he abandoned his Post to help his Brother in Arms reach it but because he abandoned his post to save a Z.I that had failed their assignement he was notified of his upcoming wiping and instead of running away and or Hiding he simply waited knowing it was the Right thing to save his fellow Z.Is life instead of leaving it to be captured and scrapped by Pirates. This wasn't done just because the other Z.I was one It was done because before they were assigned they were in storage together going through the Militaristic Zavodski Routine Together and they relied on eachother to get through the day to day they were molded to be a Team and Leaving His Brother Behind would've been in his Mind a useless loss of a good Z.I unit and without him he would've needed to work with other Z.Is that maybe wouldn't do as good as his Brother also knowing that his brother would've done the same if he was the one crawling on the Ground but they spent their last moments waiting together knowing that they would never know this ever happend. His Time After the Wipe After he was wiped he overheard a conversation of a Machinist telling his Handler that he was wiped which made him realise the Noose above his head that Zavodski posed. That whatever he did got him wiped and he couldn't even know what he did so to avoid any further mistakes he simply remained silent and never spoke unless it was required to relay Important Information, He avoided speaking in general and coverd his face to seem as much like a Faceless, Voiceless goon to reinforce this he would write down daily reports in his Journal with Timestamps to Hand to his Handler or to any Higher up not even speaking with them unless explicitley told so. He was as Rank and File as he could get simply getting the Job done without Complaints or Questions but after Two years of this practice he had a period where he remained un-assigned for some Time where he went through his routine as usual during that time his Handler wanted to test his capabilities against a more seasoned Z.I where he lost as the Older Z.I was more Experienced then him and His avoidance to speaking did halt his development into a more effiecent Z.I due to him not gathering much knowledge from his peers after the testing he spoke to the more seasoned Z.I fearing due to the loss of the competition he might be wiped again if he doesn't get better at his Job and his fellow Z.I told him to gather knowledge about the people around him as they might know more then he does building rapport with those around him will also help with them Ignoring mistakes and not reporting him to his Handler and the more developed he is the less likely it would be for him to make a mistake which would in turn grant him rewards aswell. Wanting to stay mute to keep his reputation as someone who simply gets the Job done (Since that reputation helped him not be wiped thus far) he began to use gestures to communicate with his colleagues and peers which were effective to Introduce himself but when more complicated issues came up he couldn't answer, so due to his good track record at that time he requested to learn sign language under the cover of wanting to be able to communicate with his colleagues even if they were deafened which was one of the reasons he wanted to know sign Language but not the main one. His request was Granted tho limited with whom he could talk to it did help with deaf clients which forwarded positive recommendations to his Handler. Even when he worked on larger Vessels with Bigger security teams him being able to "speak" sign language helped with escorting expeditions where anomalies were disrupting their radio's. As Originally Intended by Him he also signed with his colleagues and learned a few Tricks from them to be better at his Job. Even after all this Time Focusing on not being wiped and Seeking a Crack where he could slip through he has not found it no matter the assignement but he was now Informed that he was being assigned to the SCCV Horizon to Bolster the Zavodski Presence in the Security Department which for him is Just a new Assignement but even if he doesn't know it yet the SCCV Horizon could be either his doom or the Light at the End of the Tunnel he's been searching for. He will be Joining the Security Team at 12 Years old with the Wipe It'd be seven. How has the recent events of the Orion Spur impacted your character? Events such as the Phoron Scarcity, the Solarian Collapse or even the Invasions of Biesel for interstellar-wide affairs, while region-specific events such as the Peacekeeper Mandate, The Titan Rises or even Cold Dawn may impact your character. The Konyang Arcs Warehouse raid has affected him by Opening up positions for Zavodski to put him in but he was only put in after the Crisis was finished because his Handler didn't want to risk Z.I seeker to fall to rampancy and be shot as it would be a stupid loss of a Z.I so she kept him at his Barracks which in turn gave him more time to share knowledge with other Z.Is and give the advice that the Z.I that beat him to younger Z.Is to help them avoid being wiped aswell.(Why did he help them? because getting wiped in his Experience is really bad so helping your Fellow Z.Is be better is a plus without consequences) How does your character view the megacorporation they work for? Z.I Seeker sees Zavodski as a Noose around his neck ready to tighten if he ever fails to meet expectations that's why he is always trying to become better to have more room to go down if he makes a mistake and Staying Faceless and keeping his reputation up as a goon helps him hide from the prying eyes of others so he can one day escape the noose around his neck and live without worrying about losing everything again or even being fully scrapped. Notes: As usual excuse my Broken English

Hey, man First time I saw him he was playing a machinist and since I saw him then he has become really good at the Role so I see Willingness and the ability to Learn new things which is one of the More Important things to me and the IC Interactions have been always fun too no matter what so its a Good +1 from me. +1

+1 Geier is nice to Interact with and His HoS which has a Name I can't Write for the Life of me brings some really good spice to the Security Gameplay and he makes good decsisons.

+1 Noack was there for my First Round ever and I've always had fun when Interacting with Noack and During the trial she is also playing a Great Captain from my Perspective that is all
