This is fine.

Just to ask: If this gets rejected, shouldnt the gear harness be removed from ipcs, because they have it at the moment as an option

no i meant that the dixel name is a joke, and that it's not only for male characters. ...am I right or is this only for male characters

Im pretty sure them calling it the "dixel" is a joke and they want to remove it for all people

1. I'd love to know about local governments and public opinion. How do Dionae politicians, if there are any, get around the lack of psionics? What parties do they tend to side with? Is there a notable divide between them and their Skrellian fellows? 2. I'd love to see Dionae have more of a split regarding their lack of psionics. Maybe an iron eternal movement to develop gestalt-based recievers, or a prejudice in government against them similar to Listeners. Have it be a more salient source of conflict. 3. I'd like more cross-species interactions: not even cohabitation, necessarily, but just relations and public opinion. What does the average Skrell think of the expansion of the Golden Deep, and what does a citizen of the PRA know about Elyra? In a setting with FTL communication, I'd love to see more stuff like that.

1. I'd like to focus more on the minor parts of the Federation- what do day-to-day planetary operations look like? What's its political history like? It's very interesting, but I'd especially love more of the little things. 2. I wouldn't have any issues with that! I'd love to help. 3. I've been invested in both recent lore arcs involving them and I keep up-to-date on their updates! I also talk with Desven occasionally. I know a lot about Dionae, but more about Vaurcae, generally. 4. I don't think so. I've gotten much better with criticism in my personal life over the past 3 years. 5. I think I'll be able to work myself, but I'd also like to note that setting periodic deadlines does help me in not procrastinating.

Ckey/BYOND Username: Pocheto Position Being Applied For: Skrell Lore Deputy Have you read the Lore Team Rules and Regulations wiki page? Yes! Past Experiences/Knowledge: I know basic working with the github (enough to put one pr up at time of writing), and Aurora lore is my special interest I suppose(?) Examples of Past Work: None so far. The Proposal: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SaOet4wQN2TlGdge1cMiFNjIiDGI0PPsJNWtL4buW2o/edit?tab=t.0 The Why: I’ll be honest, I just love Aurora and I want to be a part of it somehow. The lore is one of my interests, and I would love to contribute to it in some way, especially as a member of LTA. Having been here for a couple of years, I really enjoy the server and I’d really like to help make it better. Thoughts on Skrore: I adore the amount of details that Skrell lore has added- things like cooking, media, and art make the species feel more alive, and make its members feel more like people. The psionic wake also adds a unique inhumanity to them, in the sense that they are influenced by a force and therefore have a fundamentally different experience than humans. The Federation as an entity, though, I feel could be improved- more about its inner workings, its policies, and the way it affects Skrell living outside of it.

Just noting that humans made the chassis and only copied the brains, iirc.

Forgot about this, but me too, I think!

a beautiful round

Just noting I'm not sure that dionae can mechanically be PMCG. srry anyways i give my +1, they do good rp and i like mae lin!

good i like gooliss rp seriously though i trust them with 🌲 +1

I FUCKING LOVE GENDER!!!!!!!!! +1 i like this

1) I'd first set up the economic decline using articles, establishing it in the wider spur before focusing on how it would affect the Horizon. Then, using the relay's announcements and IC Announcements, start talking about budget cuts to the Horizon, increased productivity goals, etc. Mechanically, I'd say taking away some luxuries would make the crew at the very least cognizant of it- nothing too disruptive, but perhaps decreased stock of supplies in the deck 3 cafe or less equipment vendor stock. 2) I think I'm capable of that. Creative control is important for making sure our setting is internally consistent in tone. 1) I think that gameplay should generally reflect lore, as this is a roleplaying game first and foremost. Some gameplay concerns should also be written into lore to justify large changes- see cloning, and how that had to be removed for gameplay reasons and retconned in lore. I think that generally, the two should be focused on facilitating what we're here for- roleplay that's accessible for everyone. 2) I think that generally, we should focus on some more modern concepts added to the game- the lack of phones, for instance, has always been strange for me, but I understand the anachronisms are usually parts of the game's culture. I'm not too hard-set on changing any of these things. I think that drugs as portrayed should, most of the time, be fictional- being quite honest, I do not trust myself to tackle those topics in a realistic way, as I have no personal experience. Thanks for considering me!

Will we be able to select stickers in loadout?

Ckey/BYOND Username: Pocheto, for both Position Being Applied For: Deputy Loremaster Have you read the Lore Team Rules and Regulations wiki page? Yes! Past Experiences/Knowledge: I'm an avid reader of Aurora lore, and although I don't have experience leading a team professionally, I 100% love the setting and world and want to improve it. I also write, although as an amateur. Examples of Past Work: I don't have any past work for Aurora lore unless you count being a color commentator. Most of my experience writing is for personal satisfaction or tabletop gaming. 1) What do you believe you can bring to the team as Deputy Loremaster. I believe that I can help support the teams by providing an overview perspective of the lore, and helping head-Lore keep the setting grounded and tie things together. I've helped some members of lorestaff (namely, Desven) with ideas before, and I think that having a person who's genuinely interested in the lore and wants to improve it with a passion would be beneficial to Aurora. I'm quite enthusiastic about the lore; I've been active in all species on the lore discord since I joined, essentially, along with obtaining every whitelist. 2) Do you have any experience managing a Team? The duties of a Deputy Loremaster often revolve around being a Project Lead, not necessarily just writing. Not professionally. 3) Your thoughts on me as a loremaster, and how best you think you can assist me. I quite like your loremaster tenure, even though I've only been here since the one before it. Some of my favorite lore has been developed during it, such as Unathi gender lore. You also have been quite cordial in our few interactions. 4) What do you believe are your biggest drawbacks, both as a writer and as an applicant for this position? I have quite a lot of anxiety, and I am a newer player, comparatively. I've been here for 8 months. Besides that, I do tend to procrastinate somewhat. 5) In a brief summary, explain the direction you'd wish to see the Lore Team take in regards to AuroraLore. I'd love for even more of that 'everyday' lore I talked about previously. Seeing how overarching, large lore impacts individual characters should be the main focus of Aurora, seeing as, fundamentally, the lore is a tool for players to create their own stories. 6) Where do you think lore is lacking currently? I personally think that certain lore could interact more with the rest of the setting (see; Golden Deep, until recently.) I'd love for lore to have a more connected feeling, especially when it comes to alien-alien interactions: I don't think humans should be the only focus of the setting. 7) Lastly, what timezone are you normally awake during? PST. (it's 10 for me right now, technically within cutoff)

BYOND key: Pocheto Discord Username: pocheto Character names: How long have you been playing on Aurora? Around 9 months. Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? I have received a warning for not telling the administration before logging off as a burglar. Other than that, my record is clean. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame? Heads facilitate the game. By providing an authority figure in-setting, they are the first and most responsive people who work to make a round enjoyable. They function as a tutorial giver and teacher, delegate tasks, coordinate efforts, and help the story of a round progress. When a new player needs help with the mechanics of engine setup or an antagonist demands something from the crew, it is up to command to respond and set the backdrop for the story the players are telling. The command whitelist exists to make sure that the people facilitating the roleplay know the setting, the rhythm of the game, and know what other command members have done in the past. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them? Your responsibility is primarily to ensure your department’s function and the round as a whole are going well for everyone involved. Your job is not to try and micromanage or make sure that the crew wins an antag round. You’re also responsible for enforcing certain standards of believability, both for yourself and others. Being a master of your department and taking over all of the work isn’t fun for anyone but yourself, but you should also prevent your department members from creating unrestricted chaos that makes the round less fun for everyone. Explain how the recent events in the Spur changed your character and how they came to be employed on the SCCV Horizon. Hatched on Aliose in 2312, Kuu’lor Qurioxi came out of their education in 2386 with three degrees and a hunger for even more knowledge. They gained employment on a Jarqo-class exploration ship with the blessing of their family and began their first real work, surveying exoplanets. The still somewhat fresh human contact spurred them to take a position near the border of the northern Solarian Alliance and the frontiers of the Nralakk Foundation. Serving there for a few decades, they soon decided to abandon the relatively confined, lonely Jarqo-class and begin their work for Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals corporation in 2418, shortly after the discovery of phoron by NanoTrasen, which they worked with often. Kuu’lor continued productive employment with the corporation, eventually opting adopt their veterancy plate, which they take great pride in. Their continued loyalty to the corporation compelled their superiors to eventually decide to allow them to be contracted out to the Conglomerate, after almost a century of steady work. The phoron scarcity, however, shook their faith in the current state of affairs. The once promising fields of phoronics and bluespace research became almost dead-ends, and they sometimes ponder how the increasing desperation of the Federation and corporations will end for them. They have watched the world around them torn from under their feet in the span of under a decade, and yet they carry on. What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? I’ll probably be playing XO, Captain, RD, and the two representative roles the most. Have you familiarized yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Yup! I don’t know how to answer this one in a paragraph Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking: Kuu’lor Qurioxi, Research Director Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Hopefully Have you linked your BYOND account to the Forums? Yes! Extra notes: Sure

As someone who's worked with it, yeah, the TCB is just visual emotes and works for everyone.

make me a grilled cheese or i player complaint you for this

If we're adding tents, can we add a temporary xenofauna holding chamber? Give us that premium hamster cage RP.
