((Bump? I thought you said you were making something that would be put up later in the day. That was a few days ago.))

Alright so, this happened a few months ago. You are right. I am worried this now character is going to be exactly like Seon and you are going to use her to continue your previous roleplay. Many people don't want a return of Seon because she was unrealistic. If you are just going to make another Von Illdenberg and label your unban request as the Return of Von Illdenberg. Then no, I would not want to see this happen because she was banned for a reason.

Elyra News Network “For Greatness, We Strive” Standoff Explodes into Violence 3.4.2458 Standoff Explodes into Violence Late yesterday evening, there were multiple incursions on the Federal Bank located on Persepolis led by suspected Unathi terrorists. The terrorists held the workers inside the bank at gunpoint while explosives were set on the vault to steal the massive amounts of credits stored inside. Luckily, one of the tellers set off the silent alarm, alerting the nearby authorities of the situation. Within 7 minutes, law enforcement units arrived on scene surrounding the building. The terrorists were holding up inside the bank threatening to kill hostages that they had taken. During negotiations, SWAT units were brought in to attempt to stealthily enter the building to defuse the situation. The details of what happened after the units entered the building are very sparse but five minutes after they entered, an explosion occurred that caused much of the front of the bank to be heavily damaged. After the explosion, there was a firefight that lasted around twenty minutes until the Unathi terrorists were killed. To our relief, there were no civilian causalities and there were four minor injuries reported. Investigation will be underway to find out how the situation turned out how it did. At this moment in time, there are no connections between the terrorists and the Izweski Raiders outside of the system. The possibility of them working with the Hegemony has not yet been ruled out but many experts on Unathi culture believe that they do not act in the ways that were seen yesterday. Multiple Explosions on the EMV Aris Around 4:00 PM, Galactic Standard Time, Commander Al-Jarraden, the current Commander of the Elyran Defense Division based in the New Ankara system released information on the recent events that occurred in the early morning hours of March 4. The documents that were released contained details of a bombing on the EMV Aris which caused severe hull damage and a mass venting of the ships internal atmospheric systems. Luckily, 3/4 of the crew successfully managed to evacuate the vessel before the situation became too dangerous. The bombing is believed to have been caused by the now deceased engine technician, Yagmur Saban. It is believed that he managed to sneak an multiple explosive devices onto the vessel inside of his tools. After further investigation of the source of the explosion and research into the records of Mr. Saban, there is no reason to believe that the bombing was brought on due to involvement from the Izweski Hegemony. Authorities are currently investigating further into Yagmur Saban's history and where he may have gotten the motive to do these terrorist acts.

Elyra News Network “For Greatness, We Strive” Brink of an Elyran-Izweski War? 3.3.2458 Brink of an Elyran-Izweski War? As I am sure some of you are aware, earlier today, a large fleet of Izweski Vessels were spotted outside of the New Ankara system. There have been attempts to communicate with the fleet command ship that clearly is part of the Izweski Navy, so far though, there has been no response to communication attempts. Prime Minister Tatenda has mobilized the Ankaran Defense Division to defend any ships in the system. He has said that if the fleet moves any closer to Persepolis, the EDD Forces have been authorized to open fire in order to protect the Elyran Government. There have been words going around that calls for aid have been sent out to the neighboring systems in order to help get the Unathi away from the Elyran Capital. So far, no response has been given to the rumored messages for aid. It is said that the Izweski Navy that is outside of New Ankara are attempting to blockade the system before any further action takes place. The Izweski forces have been denying entry to many ships that have attempted to return to Persepolis including Minister Nabil who was returning from a diplomatic mission with the Biesel Government. Nabil has since moved to Jedeed Isfahan. A warning has also been sent out to the Izweski fleet that any more attempts to block the Elyran vessels will result in conflict, the warning has also not seemed to have made them notice. Tensions are high and more reports will be coming in on the current events.

Valorallen Vitellia: Valorallen looks over to Aefia listening to her saying in Tradeband, "You know, you don't need to go on this cruise or whatever it is called. I mean, didn't we move back to Persepolis to get away from all of this stuff?" Valorallen responds in Tradeband saying, "Aefia, I told you this already, I am still a Captain for Nanotrasen, even if I am on break. Besides, I sort of just disappeared without a word when everyone transferred to the Exodus. Don't worry, I will be back before you know it. Just make sure you make it back to Persepolis before too long and take care of Kelsie." Aefia sighs, "I guess so..." Aefia hands over Valorallen's bags to him and waves goodbye. Valorallen then makes his way to the line to board the NCV Boadicea. By the time he makes it to the front, the room seems to have emptied quite a bit. Valorallen speaks to the lady at the desk and is allowed access to the Boadicea. While he begins to board the vessel, he looks around the room to see if he sees any familiar faces from the NSS Aurora.

Well, I wasn't really saying they needed to be aggressive more that they should show signs that they were effected. I mean, you can go your own way but I think it would make it realistic. Also, there is a two paragraph minimum for the applications. Some circumstances change it but it is so you can go over a little bit of parts of your character's life. Just a little more detail for the later parts of his should be fine.

Don't have the Vaurca whitelist but Skrell can be any color since the changing to the updated baycode. Not sure if you were talking mechanic-wise or lore-wise. Just thought I would bring that up. Ordessa has been around for a little while now. Many of their characters are fine from what I can tell. Haven't really seen any outstanding issues with them. I understand the amount of pain it is to get the one paragraph thing for bound Vaurca. Tried writing an application when they first came out but I couldn't get it to sound right so I scrapped it. Application seems pretty much to the point and I wouldn't have in issue with them having the Vaurca whitelist. +1

You got rid of the bold formatting . Not too big of an issue. Now, I don't believe I have ever seen your character ingame before so I will just go off of what I have from your application. This is completely fine but, I want to make sure you are aware that life on Adhomai at the moment is very difficult. There is a lot of unrest with three factions vying for control. Just keep that in mind when you are playing your character. (I would even say it is harder for Zhan-Kazan than most others. Just my point of view though.) You are able to play him as you please but I have seen SOME interesting characters who came from Adhomai that were from the lower economic levels who were one of those tough people that have seen a lot of shit. This didn't make them super insane where they were hyper-aggressive and all it was just something you really noticed when you got into their history. A cool little touch that I have seen improve peoples characters. Again, this can effect Nikita how you choose but I still am not sure how "lover of peace" he would be after basically having no family left at the age of 11 in the middle of Zhan-Khazan persecution. Besides those things, the last major issue is that his backstory is short. It doesn't really have much substance besides his early life. Doesn't really meet the minimum requirement for the backstory. As long as you add a bit on how Nikita managed to make his way to Nanotrasen, I would have no problem giving this application a +1. Once it is fixed, you can pretty much count this as a +1 if I don't get back to this post.

Xander is probably the only reason I have any good characters, especially those in Command. Pretty much introduced me to roleplay with actual depth. I played on the server before then with mediocre characters that were pretty bland. So yeah, a definite +1

I am dying looking at those voting numbers xD

There was supposed to be an 8th directive about the IPC Tagging stuff. Not sure if anyone has the exact wordings of it.

I have seen Jan in Engineering for quite some time now. They are fairly competent at their jobs and I haven't really seen an issue coming from there. None of my characters really interacted with any of Jorge's though. Most of my experience with them was just me being in the Command staff and you happening to be in Engineering that day. From what I have seen though, you seem to be a very competent player mechanics wise and there really haven't been any roleplaying issues that I have seen. Your backstory looks well thought out so I think I will give you a +1 on this. Good luck!

Here is a conversation that was had about good tips to RP. http://aurorastation.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4320 I haven't read over it fully but it should help.

I have seen Lea Fontaine in Engineering a few times. All of those times I have seen some pretty good interactions between them and the rest of the Engineering personnel. I think Juani did a good job on writing Ibrahim's backstory, not really seeing any outstanding issues with it +1 Also, I believe I remember you from an apartment server. I think I was on it a few times. As far as I remember it lasted for only a short time. Nevertheless, good luck with the whitelist.
