BYOND Ckey: InsertWarthog Discord username: taylorveridian Character names: Tucker Oberon (main right now anyway, currently exitting a hiatus) Species you are applying to play: Integrated Positronic Chassis ------------------------------ General Whitelist Requirements What colour do you plan on making your first alien character?: (IPCs exempt) 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?: I like the whole idea of synthetic species, IPCs are pretty interesting in my opinion. They maintain logic when doing just about anything and therefore in my mind can be some very calculating people if they need to be. They face struggle throughout the spur and while some do not question it, other IPCs are born and are immediately free people after some base things, like the three month orientation a Konyanger IPC is given before being put into the big wide world. Any species that has reason as part of it's existence from it's very nature is something I like, making it synthetic is even cooler. What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: Well, you basically have to think like a machine. You have to think like your character even more so than you would others as an IPC literally has thinking as part of everything they do. Their lifespans are effectively non-existent compared to their creators. Depending on where the IPC was built and for what purpose, it could be a blank slate with minimal personality required of it to do a basic task, or it may end up having the ability to understand emotional and social cues and forming lasting friendships for all manner of reasons. ------------------------------ Character Application Character Name: Azumi Write a backstory for your character. This may include their origin, education, personality and how they arrived to the SCCV Horizon. (2 paragraphs minimum) The assembly of Bishop Accessory Model KNYS-12-2455, Designation "Azumi" was complete as of 20/02/2455 at a Terraneus Diagnostics facility in Aoyama, Aoyama Prefecture on Konyang. She was given female programming and spent the first three months of her existence in orientation in order to gain Konyanger citizenship, which was something she viewed as beneficial to have. Upon completing orientation, she was given a psychology datapack in order to fill a position as a Resident Psychiatrist at a Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals clinic. However, during her transfer to her first residence, she was abducted by a still unknown criminal sect who thus placed her into a trafficking operation. However, her power cell was removed the moment the intruders got to the van in the first place. By the time she re-activated, she was in a wooden shoebox studio apartment in a small apartment block in Boryeong. Azumi quite quickly discovered she was legally a tenant of said apartment and thus, to be able to pay rent and thus power the charger, she sought the nearest employment. Lacking any known credible education however, she was turned down for any high-education job at the application phase, not even getting interviews. With nowhere else to go, she got a job at a hydroponics farm under Gwok Foods. She would be in and out of various shoeboxes studios for most of her life, occasionally changing workplace and housing to suit what she deemed was needed. However, due to her prior datapack, she was much more adept at socialising for an IPC of her age and was able to make quite a few work friends, both synthetic and non-synthetic. However, everything would change come 2466. On 24/01/2466, Azumi would fall victim to Rampancy. As to what she did during that time is unknown, however she was eventually captured at the central port district shortly after the Massacre at Boryeong, whether she was there is not known. Azumi was released from rampancy on 23/03/2466 along with the other rampancy afflicted IPCs. She was in Rampancy Collection Point B22 - Boryeong Prefecture. She was only able to proof who she was thanks to a Zeng-Hu senior robotics personnel who was able to identify her while assisting with repairs to any damaged rampants. With her last home a ruin and most her work colleagues either dead or who knows where, Azumi decided the most reasonable course to return to some vague normalcy was to go to Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals. Fortunately, the residency she was initially sent for years ago had recently re-opened and she was placed on it. However, she would eventually learn that the SCCV Horizon had played a major role in containing the rampancy virus, which in her eyes was comparable to saving her life. So she applied to join the Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals crew compliment onboard. She was initially denied however recently was accepted when space opened up and boarded the SCCV Horizon as of 15/05/2468, being issued IPC recharging cabinet 3-82B-4 in the residential levels. 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. (1 paragraph minimum) Azumi was often too busy to concern with many things, however the rampancy crisis completely turned her life on it's head. She lost all her friends, her house and most things she owned. If not for the sheer happenstance that one of the workers who was around when she was manufactured was able to identify her, she likely would have been stuck having to rebuild her life on Konyang. This fundamentally changed her school of thought regarding several things and she has developed almost a phobia level of fear for her safety regarding hivebots. Despite this, under hope that she would be able to transfer to the Horizon, she rarely is emotional outside of when she is doing her job in psychology. How does your character view the megacorporation they work for? Azumi views Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals as a company that gave her a second chance at life, as such she has found herself to consider the company to be trustworthy and a good corporation. Azumi is also aware that she would've initially worked for Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals, however never ended up getting the chance to until ironically after the rampancy crisis. For this reason, Azumi has a good opinion of Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals and doesn't see any issue with working for such a company. However, this is also somewhat influenced by the fact if she had not agreed to go back to Aoyama and work in the job she was intended to start at, she would have likely been stuck in Boryeong with still minimal qualification and having to start all over again.

BYOND Key: InsertWarthog Character Names: I play Michael Asar, most of you will know him as a Dominian priest, I am also working on a human by the name of Ashlyn Kiefer Species you are applying to play: Skrell (Xiiori ancestry) What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Red Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: On wiki I've read most of them 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 specific race: To experience more cultures and lore within this amazing ss13 server, and I genuinely just like Skrell as a species. They are a super diverse bunch and genuinely just look like good sociable individuals. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The fact you can use telepathy and have completely different social customs and such makes Skrell unique to the point they haven't even developed genders in their societies, Skrellans are also like the elves in dungeons and dragons, much older. Character Name: TBD (i don't have a name for him yet, hopefully he will be a bridge crew or something) Please provide a short backstory for this character He is a F'ex'Tra (basically male) Skrell with predominantly Xiiori ancestry, growing up in relative poor conditions, he was one of the uncredited labourers in Skrell society, he started the same any Skrell born in the federation did, as a egg in scuttle schooling, he was quite curious and inquisitive as he grew, and one of his first jobs in the federation was being a factory worker, he did however love the job, but always wanted something more, gazing at the stars so many times in his life, he eventually took a trip to a station in orbit of his homeworld, and he loved it. He was very sociable ad fairly quickly joined Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, eager at the prospect of space, he fairly quickly got assigned to Horizon He is a very friendly person, who doesn't mind species or religion. He's always happy to meet and speak to new potential friends on horizon, he is a rather humble fellow, who understands his culture is different, and some people won't be okay with that, but regardless he remains humble, and he treats every co-worker like he's in a Skrell Qu'Kaax relationship (very treasured co-workers, yes I studied lore) he is very eager to do his job and perform well, but at the same time understands the importance of socialization and friendship at work, he will be a great co-worker and a great friend What do you like about this character: His humility and sociability among others How would you rate your role-playing ability: I can roleplay quite well, I'm fairly new to aurora station but I'm here to grow and enjoy all the lore this server has, it truly is amazing. Notes: Fairly new to aurorastation, but I love this place.
