Chanterelle

I think it looks great and would make for an awesome addition! Definite +1!

Byond key: Chanterelle Discord key: Chanterelle Character Name: Rhasdrimara Rhanmrero'Arhanja Item Name: Noble Adhomai Veil Item function(s): Headwear for a grieving woman of noble birth. Item description: An antique veil of black lace worn by noble Tajaran women during times of mourning. Why is your character bringing this item to work?: She still grieves deeply the family that she lost during the War on Adhomai, and showcases this by having adopted the veil into her regular attire. How did your character obtain this item?: She would have obtained veil before fleeing Adhomai, perhaps it was given to her by her mother or something she would have had made specifically for her when her grandfather or father would have passed away. What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: As a noble lady and a victim of the war, she would have been exposed to many untold horrors. Having lost those nearest to her would have likely affected her profoundly, and the grief would be something felt for the rest of her life. As she approaches her own end, these feelings would likely be compounded. The veil would act as as an outward expression of her sorrows and a reminder to some of what had happened to Tajarans of her status. Sprites: There are two versions of this veil. One with a gap that is specifically designed for the Tajaran head, with the veil's peak sitting between their ears and the other for a human/unathi/skrell head that lacks this gap. Both versions use the same front. Tajara Version: Non-Tajara Version: Additional Comments: Credit for this sprite goes to Dronz, huge thank you to them for making it. Enclosed below is the .dmi file for your inspection as well. Should be a total of 9 sprites all together. Veil.dmi

She feels more strongly against the PRA than she would the DPRA. Both in her opinion, are entities that have seized control through bloodshed and underhanded methods. She would likely keep these opinions to herself when speaking to people she was not familiar with. Those who know the Princess well likely have heard her express her views and feelings about all three Governments on Adhomai at one point or another. Her close friends know better than to bring up these topics around her simply because of the distress it causes her. As for her religion, I Feel she would practice the S'rand'marr faith. It would fit with her carrying a prayer book and keeping very important photographs of family and friends she had lost during the conflict as she feels she is likely approaching her end of life.

BYOND Key: Chanterelle Character Names: Trucy Faraday, Yureka Trevils, Janna Ramsey, May Hawthorne, Usara Yinzr, Neesha Miharil Species you are applying to play: Tajara What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Royal Orange Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes Why do you wish to play this specific race: I would like the opportunity to navigate through the difficult social climate of the Tajaran species. The different factions and how they interact, as well as the various breed-types. Tajarans as a whole are even more of an underdog species when compared to the likes of Unathi, Varuca or even Diona because of humanity's view of them. The aspect of a character trying to preserve their dignity against a greater opposing views fascinates me. I also would like to contribute ideas to the Tajara group as well in regards to fashions, other world building elements through characters and their interactions. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Humans seem to be such a stable race when compared to the Tajara and are much more progressive in their beliefs. You can be just about anything you want to be as a human, with the exception of royalty. Tajara, specifically the Njarir'Akhran group is the smallest group of the Adhomai factions, but arguably the most culturally rich with their noble bloodlines and great historical significance to the species. Though things have been ugly, there will still be a sense of nostalgia for the simplicity of times long gone. For the other ethnicities, there are other woes and hardships that have been imposed upon them by the new regimes that came to power after the Uprisings and Revolutions that would all be very unique to explore and navigate through from a character's perspective. Also the inevitable clash of ideals. Character Name: (Possible to change, also for SPECIAL EVENT purposes and Off Station RP) Yekaterrína Alekséevna Rrostov-Kurragin Please provide a short backstory for this character The granddaughter of a former Njarir'Akhran King, she is styled her Serene Highness, Princess Kurragin of House Kurragin after the death of her father. As a young Tajara, she managed to survive the Uprisings and the First Revolution with most of her family having fled their Castle for safer territories to hide from the ensuing bloodshed. The few that remained to defend their home would subsequently be imprisoned and later executed. While on the run, more of her immediate family would be captured, with only the Princess and her grandson having avoided the same fate. Her small entourage would be part of the first wave of nobility leaving the planet. As a result of the cruelty experienced at the hands of the PRA, she holds a very negative view of them. Her fears of what would happen to her or her grandson should they return to Adhomai, even with the NKA established, have kept the Princess firmly in human space for the time being. Upon arriving on Biesel, the Princess would be faced with the hardships of re-establishing herself and raising her grandson alone. However with more noble blooded Tajara arriving on Biesel and still more that were loyal to the old Kingdoms, she would manage to get the aid of Royalist supporters to help build a small fortune through the primarily human Stock Exchanges. She would also provide paid interviews with information about various Njarir'Akhran customs to a small handful of researchers as well. Though a very minor presence in Mendell City Society, the Princess has nonetheless been able to live comfortably and has been grooming her grandson to become the next Prince of their bloodline. The Princess's apartments are tastefully decorated in a subtle regal motif, with the most lavishly decorated rooms being used for entertaining guests. Tajaran paintings as well as other relics are displayed in these rooms. A Butler, Maid and Chef are all that compose her household staff. The Princess frequently relies on human an Skrellian medical treatment. What do you like about this character? I like that she would instantly come to verbal exchanges with any of the other Tajaran faction members if encountered during the EVENT CIRCUMSTANCES or OFF STATION RP. Having these polarizing views thrown at her, an old woman at this point in her life would be fun to RP out. Also getting to toy with fancy Tajaran fashions natively will be fun too. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I would say my Roleplaying ability is Average-Fair. I'm still working at the ability to write lengthier posts. Notes: I would like to say that this is just one character that I had been inspired to create after watching a classic film. I do plan on creating other characters that could possibly bud off from this one, like her Great-Great Grandson, other Njrarir etc. This is just the most thought out character I have which is why I used her for the Application. This particular character was inspired by Princess Dragomiroff of the Orient Express, particularly Wendy Hiller's version of the character in the 1974 film. The character's musical theme played a big part in the inspiration: As did her appearance:

With Trucy, I have her wear a white undershirt polo, a knee-length skirt that matches the officer's jumpsuit pants, navy tie, security red armband, officer's beret, pantyhose, black leather gloves, holo badge and dress heels . Kind of like a formal lady's officer uniform you'd see in the military or police force in some countries. Best reference I could come up with is Officer Jenny throughout the years except the skirt wouldn't be so short. The color scheme and gear really do let other folks know you're in security. I would love to have a dressier skirt option that is officially Nanotrasen security instead of beating around the bush with clothing sporting the Nanotrasen logo.

I would like to suggest that incident reports, depending on the degree of incident, have a time frame. Like in most companies, you have usually 3-6 months for a strike against you to fall off your record. So lesser incidents would fall off after 3 weeks of time elapsed since the incident, where as something more severe would possibly stay on the character's record from upwards of 6 months to a whole year. Maybe after the time has elapsed, an option to review it with a staff member or flat out delete it will become available?

I'm all about more realism! It does sound complicated though.~

Either way. It would be nice just to have robes in general be wearable in the jumpsuit slot. They used to be.

Well it is a traditional Unathi garment, which would help identify Unathi that are of a more conservative mindset, and it's just nice having a bit of variety to play with in terms of Xeno clothing. Layering it with a hide mantle or a poncho etc. It was also an option we used to have before the update to the newer code.

Beyond Key: Chanterelle Character Name: Ishani Uwazee Item Name: Roughspun Dress Why I'm Bringing It To Work: As an older Unathi, I had wanted to give her a bit of distinguish of having a layered effect with the Tan Poncho. The roughspun dress would layer under the poncho giving her a more matronly and traditional appearance due to her age. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Item Functions: As a jumpsuit instead of an outer robe. Item Description: a popular Unathi garment Item Appearance: Same sprite as the Roughspun Robes, perhaps shrunken a bit so it's more dress/jumpsuit size.

I'm hoping to get more folks to play on the server. It's no fun just surviving by yourself. xD

I wish more people were playing on the server. :c It's awfully lonesome, and my friends want to see other people's creations! I'd also love to showcase my own little house too.

BYOND Key: Chanterelle Character name: Chantrea Eventide Item name: Black Dress (Item Path: lillian_amsel_1) Why is your character carrying said item to work? A preferred style of dress over the standard jumpsuit that plays into the gloomy Goth/Emo appearance of the character. Item function(s): It has the same function as a jumpsuit/outfit Item description: This is a black dress. Appropriate attire for a funeral. Item appearance: It's a black dress. Additional comments: Gives the character a more mournful flare than the standard black jumpsuit, which plays into the melodrama associated with both subcultures.

1. Evidence Lockup does not have Cadet access. --Intentional they are beginner security, reduced access. 2. The Security Locker Room is too large and feels like a waste of space. 3. Keycard Authentication Device is appearing in the Security Maintenance next to the Head of Security's office.

I really don't care much for blue Security. I miss the old red colors. Helped the department stand out more in my opinion.

I've RP'd with Hyacinth a few times now and I'm pretty confident in their ability to pull it off well, and I'd love to see more female Unathi aboard. We need some gender balance to give the Tajaran a run for their money!

Trucy Faraday Voice: Rachel McAdams portraying Regina George from Mean Girls. Regina Mills:

I think they were something like this originally, which is what was in my head. Now it seems like they're going for a more bird-like stance like this.

Most reptiles are plantigrade I think.

I believe Dinosaurs were digitigrade. Plantigrade is human-like, but what threw me is when they added jointed backwards.

I was just reading that Unathi legs are plantigrade legs that are jointed backward according to the wiki page. So they have Big Bird legs? I'm having difficulty visualizing what that might actually look like and how that would roleplay.

I enjoyed RPing with Loow as Teresa Vasquez! They're a very competent RPer and would be an excellent IPC no question.~

Oh wow! Thank you guys! I can't wait to start Roleplaying this character!

I haven't actually met any of your characters ICly, but I can definitely support this. We need more Unathi in Security to mix things up a bit!

BYOND Key: Chanterelle Character Names: May Hawthorne, Trucy Faraday, Yureka Trevils, SIENA, NubIA, AMbIENCE How long have you been playing on Aurora: For roughly 3 to 4 months maybe more? Species you are applying to play: Unathi What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Pale Gray or another Pale color associated with Unathi Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes, and the Baystation 12 Wiki as well. 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: As Unathi are a rather primitive race in comparison to humans, Skrell, and possibly even the Tajaran, I thought it would be an interesting opportunity to Roleplay a female Unathi having escaped Moghes and the horribly unbalanced gender inequality issues in their culture. It presents a unique angle to Roleplay since the character would likely still have a shadow of that mindset where Unathi females are still considered property and struggle to adjust to living a more independent lifestyle, not to mention the hardships she might have to face trying to establish herself elsewhere. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The culture, the physiology, and their mindset. It's an interesting opportunity to be able to think and act like they do versus how free humans are by comparison. Especially when you throw some very turbulent marital and familial problems into the mix. How would a female running away from an unhappy marriage be viewed? Even going a step further and avoiding the 'Guwandi' ritualistic suicide? With their strict honor based hierarchical society, this could be the ultimate slap in the face for her husband if she wished to wound him in a non-physical way. So much more complicated than a simple human divorce! Why does this species in particular hold your interest? Specifically their gender inequality issues and how their females are treated. While I'm sure most females live comfortably with their mates/husband, there would probably be a fairly high percentage of those living unhappily or in an even worse situation. Though the likelihood of them running away or abandoning such relationships would be very slim due their strict honor code. I wanted to see how other Unathi would view a female that has willingly ran away and manage to escape a very unpleasant situation through Roleplay.[/hr] Character Name: Usara Miharil Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Born (or hatched) in the Moghean year 2433, Usara is the second youngest of three sisters by 2 minutes. Her clan lives in one of the larger settlements situated in the Northern Hemisphere and closer to the Northern Pole. She enjoyed an average childhood, or what can be deemed as average for an Unathi female. Learning what would be expected of her and the duties she would eventually be responsible for when it came time for her own marriage and eventual motherhood from her Mother Zoura and other clan females. Usara was the first of the three sisters to marry after coming of age, having caught the attentions of a strong Unathi soldier named Chuna Jaraleet. Usara's father Utatul, being a former military man himself, needed little convincing and the marriage was easily arranged. Things went well at the beginning, Usara relocated to Chuna's family settlement to begin her life as a married Unathi, and was fairly content. The trouble began with Chani, Usara's controlling mother-in-law. Chani was not convinced that Usara was a capable wife or mother and seemed to be bitterly jealous of her. The two females began to squabble, and the conflict eventually spread to Chuna who, siding with his mother, punished Usara. Things continued to escalate over the following years and became not only verbal, but physically abusive. Usara desperately tried to contact her family and to see them, but her efforts were always thwarted by Chani. Things finally came to a head when Usara laid her first egg. She had only been able to produce one, possibly due to the stressful environment. Once it had been laid, the egg was no longer hers as Chani immediately tried to take it from her. In the scuffle, the egg broke. Chani blamed Usara and once again Chuna sided with his mother. Usara endured extensive beatings as punishment for bringing great shame upon their family. This proved to be the breaking point. No longer able to endure the violence, Usara considered becoming a 'Guwandi," the mantle and ritualistic suicide an Unathi takes part in when it is either mortally wounded or can no longer live with pride. However, another opportunity presented itself during her consideration. One of exile similar to the 'Guwandi', but a possible new beginning. A journey to one of the interstellar colonies beyond the stars. Deciding that this would be her course of action, Usara gathered two of her most cherished belongings and left one night when everyone was asleep. Fleeing into the wilderness in pursuit of the Unathi preparing to travel off planet. She found herself in Biesel after stowing away aboard the ship. Her life in Mendell City was difficult. Having nothing to start with, Usara had to resort to scavenging for a time just to survive and eventually she was able to eek out a simple living in one of the poorer slums. For money, she had to do some rather unsavory things in the beginning, but things would eventually improve through some of her new found connections and she eventually managed to get a job with Nanotrasen which is where we find her in the present. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Modestly I'd consider my roleplaying a 6/10 or perhaps a 7/10 on a good day. Notes: Usara is an extremely thin Unathi and has a lighter scale pigment. These two factors make it difficult for her to retain heat in colder environments, and she will sometimes sun herself or layer up to keep warm.
