Ever heard of TOR browser? Theres the end of sensorship for you- whatever sopa or TPP does is squat.

Alrighty then! Sounds like a plan. If you wanna talk about the Skrell stuff with anybody- Your always welcome to messege me here on the forums or in the client. I'm always super excited about skrell stuff, and always available for discussing things/ opinions. Available at all times!

Thanks man, I appreciate it alot.

Uh... that was a joke, right? I really hope that was a joke, but Poe's Law means I can't be sure. Uh- nope. thats on the wiki.

BYOND Key: Fritz_Kuhn Character Names: Robert Spenlow, Samuel Czechi, Maurice Hanson Species you are applying to play: Skrell What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): White (Aliosian Skree) Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: 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 specific race: I have Always been Particularly Interested in Races besides human- Mainly because its somthing To switch things up, But I am most interested in the skrell. My personal reasons? I find the Skrell's history and culture very intriguing within the lore we have, As it shares many things that peak my intrests Examples of some of those intrests are, but not limited too, The Superiour Intelligence of most skrell and the advanced technological capibilities of the race,I personal believe it could be used to further Role-play on a Peaceful and intresting level that would create fun for everyone. Their likeness to humans but yet their difference, I think its a good alien to chase after for a fist application, they are much like the humans- but slightly different, there isn't alot that is hard to understand about them from a human-players perspective and I like that, yet I like the differnces and uniqueness they can bring to the table compared to humans as well. Also- We really don't have enough skrell players on the server and this is a wonderful, beautiful race with SO much potential and alot of people seem to let it slide by, that makes me very very sad...And I want to help remedy that situation, so why not Add to the skrell population of the server in the easiest way I can? Becoming one. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Oh gosh- Where do you even start with this one? The skrell have an interesting set of roleplay mechanics I would enjoy using- for one I veiw them personally as kind of the de-facto "big brother" figures of the other races, having been around longer and being more advanced- but still wanting to reach out and work with them, not having a superiority complex /too much/, Sharing knowledge and Teaching the others...well, humans at least, And I have always been a fan of being that role. Another big difference is the Intricate inter-politics of the skrell when interacting with one another- all the sub-races of the skrell are so very diverse and intresting in their own accord, Truly no one skrell is alike the other and I think that would be a fun mechanic for coming in contact with another skree-brethren. Character Name: Rinoi Warufsh (RIN-OY WARF-USH) Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Rinoi was born to a humble hatch of fifteen offspring, his mother and father were very typical Aliosian Skree, the entire family lived in a moderate subterranean home on their home-world of Sralaark (Aliose to non-skree) Living comfortable and cozy daily lives. His mother practiced Culinary-Arts from many different corners of the universe, often blending them...or...attempting to at the very least, while Rinoi's Father Worked as a Bio-engineer for the Federation. They Were not Wealthy, There were not special in any way- just a typical, Average Skree family on alosia...That is, They were...Until Rinoi grew into a young teenager... Rinoi Was Very strange for a typical skree- it was noticeable almost immediately, his emotions were much more potent then those around him- he wanted to do illogical things out of curiosity, He was...A rebel, by all intensive purposes, Totally Swept up in the culture and history of The Xeno's around the galaxy he buried himself in E-books Day and night- reading about them all, The humans, the dionae, the unathi, the tajara. Even the Vaurcae and Vox. He wanted to go to places- Dangerous places to see their culture first hand like Adhomai, Moghes and ourea. But as time went on he found himself Burying himself more and more in his personal studies rather then his academic studies, this turned out to be a pain for him once his father forced him into the Nralakk Institute of Bio-Mechanics and robotics, Something he /really/ did not care for. Eventually- Enough was enough and he did what any young teenager who "knows everything" would do- he packed up his bags, Snagged some credits and left, Course set...For...Moghes, He had a rough time Getting into the planet but eventually- he was allowed residency. Rinoi stayed on moghes for a good Ten years, bathing himself in the unathi's Primitive culture and influence even becoming employed by the Izweski nation themselves as an Archaeologist, but he still wanted more- to dig..deeper- that's when it hit him, Surgeon, he wanted to be a surgeon! of course! The opportunity to legally and safely dissect and study every little thing that got an injury that required a good ol' fashioned scalpel... He set off once again- Pulling all the credits from his account onto a single charge card and Setting course for Mendel City- Where he enrolled in a local medical university. Graduating with full honors at the top of his class in Medical practice,Anatomy, Virology and Chemistry quickly, easily and even a bit earlier than the rest of his class. Taking notice of his Heritage and Profound academic skills he was plucked out of the bunch by a Nanotrasen Employer- One thing led to another and quickly he was on his way to being employed as a surgeon for nanotrasen...and well, the rest is history or- really all of that was. What do you like about this character? Well- My favorite part about Rinoi is that he is, Different- Withing different. I mean not only is he a skrell but he is a /weird/ skrell...but not /too/ weird y'know? Just an out of the box kinda guy and I really like that Idea- I am very excited to be able to play as him someday (sooner rather then later- hopefully ). How would you rate your role-playing ability? ohhhh boy...To be honest? About a six...ish? I think I am slightly above the average bracket...possibly? but I still have /a lot/ to learn And I definitely won't deny that- I am also still working out the very fine tuned points of English and what not so...yeah about a Six out of ten. Notes:

One last thought on my telepathy thing- thinking about it more...Heres a good one- So They Can communicate telepathically- EVEN WHEN UNCONCIOUS- /massive pro/ right? Heres the thing- It can ONLY be with other skrell AND they have to be within a certain tile radius huh? I know its a mechanical buff again but still, I think its pretty awesome. ALSO - for an RP buff- maybe...uh...Maybe they can like...uhhhh...Do- things, Like be contortionists really epically, Because squishiness? Or...They can Understand somones intention or motive more easily due to enhanced intelligence- or- uhhhh...Stuff...

oh- sorry. I will call you SKRELLMASTER FRANCES.- just frances for short. but seriously though...what could we do to Add to the skrell- maybe Make them immune to or have a massive de-buff to burn damage, Cuz Slimey layer of protection, or maybe they can't be shocked- there body is an excellent conducter but maybe its made of a substance that can't be grounded- so they bypass the shock/burn...Skrell engineers and scientists would be more widely played then- it seems like it would be "their roles" anyhow, seeing as intelligence y'know?... or the whole language thing I talked about- or maybe they heal in cryo faster because they metobolize the chems more effeciently...I dunno- just tosing out idea's as they hit me. ALSO frances - http://aurorastation.org/wiki/index.php?title=Skrell

that could be an interesting twist- however on the other side of the coin- they are superior and could have worked /past/ that kind of mindset seeing racism/speicism as primitive and Unnecessary as each species will eventually develop on their own- essentially acting like everyone big brother/father/mother figure. Also- tough to think of some mechanics- I listed some I thought of above. But I really do think they need some sort of advantage to robustness...what about a Burn Damage De-buff? Since they are so smiley and stuffs, a considerable debuff, I mean hell IPC's are immune to chems, why not skrell immune to burns? or Maybe they can ignore gases- that could be a big advantage AND disadvantage, like "oh hey I can walk into this plasma/n20 filled room, BUUUT Anesthetic doesn't work on me etc.

theres muh frogs , Those mini-skrells and their cuteness~

Well Ffrances- I got your back! Im totally pumped to see the skrell Actually get somthing done with them I REALLY REALL REEEEEAAAAALLLLY wanna see them get popular- I literally know of only ONE SINGLE SKRELL ON THE SERVER- Flaundra Muelack. I want to know more Akward squishy people! Especially- I WANT TO BECOME ONE.

Right- allow me to clarify(last post promise! sorry forummins ) SSL- the stereotypical ones- oh yes I totally Agree and they should be tackled around a bit- I thought wat was meant /WAS/ normal lesbians/furries. I didnt catch the SSL part- Sorry! , But yeah- if its just the extreems you guys are talking about its cool- extremist /anything/ is bad typically, like I said I was just trying to pass along a friendly reminder and try and cool off a heated post, now- lets all get back to having a calm collected civilized discussion on this. My following posts will be relevent.

' I was under the impression the genetic thing was killing them off rapidly- at least thats the impression I got form it- THANK GOD ITS NOT. because I /really/ wanna play skrell...Also, question. why do we associate them with squids? They are slimy Typically green pretty much amphibious little dude...sounds like a frog to me, not a squid, I never got that one, Like is it /just/ cause of the tenticulars?

Alright Awesome! Thats a step in the right direction- but yeah my other main thing is they just have no way to compete with the other races, I think if we raised the bar a little on skrellian robustness- in /some/ way, it would attract more players- because frankly they /should/ be the most populated race /besides/ humans...and its currently TAJARANS, of all things.

Ballisticurity was a horribly terryfying thing im Estatic and celebrating it was denied.- I have hope for this and hope we get it it would be REALLY nice to FINNALY have a new race around...*cough* VAURCA, RESOMI *cough*.

Yeah- the tribal Skrell thing, Actually caused me to NOT turn in my app- I legitimately don't want to play them now.

A two man Oddy would be So freaking useful in medbay- This has my FULL support...also- Two man Maulers for Deathsquad...Clown invasion- Two clowned HONKS...

For reals though- its pretty annoying to me too..maybe just- The traditional "it flashes red" and only around a few tiles around an emergancy light sorce- like a fire or air alarm- ect.

Well, given that Inis is neither a lesbian nor a furry gives me the impression you are just throwing those terms around to insult and discredit me. Nice; classy. just- Really getting tired of all the bashing going around. Why? If you don't like lesbians, Gays, Trans or furries. Then let me give you some friendly advice- Ignore it and move on without saying anything. As Many would say "If you don't have somthing nice to say, Don't say anything" Besides- this is supposed to be a place do civilly discuss things civilly and to iron out issues, even if you get upset there is a professional way to do so. Tossing around slurs and other terms in an offensive manner is not appropriate. Now- I have seen you use them quite a few times on the forums before, I don't know is you are trying to be offensive, or just don't care, Or if you don't realize it's offensive(witch I would hope is the case) But I would just like to ask everyone to please tone it down a little bit. We can discuss this civilly with everyone still being respected for who they are. Additional note: Sorry if this came out seeming like I was angry or somthing- I'm really not, I just wanted to extend the reminder that there are Actual Lesbians and Actual Furries In our community and that terms used in such a manner can be offensive- lets try and keep everyone in respects here please. Thank you for your time- Sorry for the irrelevant post here, Just trying to help, And I hope everyone has a wonderful day .

AS A REMINDER THIS IS JUST WHAT I PERSONALLY THINK ABOUT THE SKRELL, I AM JUST SPOUTING THIS OFF IN THE SUGGESTIONS THREAD BECAUSE IT KIND OF COULD BE A SUGGESTION FEEDBACK ON THIS WOULD BE PRETTY COOL- ALSO GENERAL "HOW TO IMPROVE SQUIDMAN THREAD" JUMP IN AND SHARE IDEA'S MUH FRIENDS honestly have to say- And I know this might sound like a stupid reason buuut...The only reason I haven't made a skrell white-list yet. Is because of that flippen accent man.... Don't get me wrong,I'm By FAR not against accents on species- I love the Tajarans Third person speak and rolling of the R's and the unathi's hissing of the S's but Really, I find the skrell accent hard to grasp and write out- even when I was practicing, The double letters like the SH's seem a bit much for me as they are used /very/ frequently and arn't typed out as smoothly as the unathi's S's or Tajara's R's... In my personal opinion if we could bump it down to one letter, (maybe W) and figure out a new accent, It would be a lot easier to manage and I would be a lot cooler with it. OR, Abandon the accent and give them somthing else about their speech that makes it unique! like the dionea have with there collective type speak referring to themselves as "We". Thats my biggest issue, to be honest but here are a few other things I could think of. Jargens Disease, I mean I REALLY do not want to play as a dying race, thats just my complete personal opinion. I'm Sure plenty of people find it an intriguing aspect for people to make them want to play them. But- it's not my jive, Not sure how many others think that as well but I do. The lore right now is equivalent to a five year old trying to mimic a Da'vinci in MS paint with the text tool out. Not sure how to put this one but, They just- Don't give off the aura of uniqueness the other races do...And I am honestly not sure how to aid in that.Just- The general feel of the skrell seems, like the color grey in a rainbow, people look at them and go WHY ARE YOU EVEN THERE GRAY- YOUR POINTLESS GTFO OUT OF MY RAINBOW, GOD....And That saddens me, it really truly does. I really think they need a SERIOUS makeover as a race to even compete with the others. I mean- give them some nicer buffs! somthing to entice people in...Look at the Robust as hell unathi, or the Claw Bearing tajarans that can see in the dark (kind of)...IPC's are immune to chems, Dionea are walking TANKS for gosh sake! What do the Skrell have that compares to that? I mean. They have /stuff/ but nothing that can /compare/, The rest of the races have something that can compare with one another while the skrell have been left in the outfield of the contest, They need something- something awesome. Something epic like everyone else, Something unique...and we can make it based of their superior intellect even! Don't even have to be a big thing, Lets say skrell are so smart they can pick up languages easily right? They can pick up to TWO extra languages including Alien languages like Siikh Maa's or Solian, Maybe even Voxese as a trade language- OR since there so hyper advanced technologically How about even Robotic speak! OR Telepathy, That would be cool Just- be able to whisper into someones head that's within eye-shot, Not really a huge thing but, its COOL. Maybe due to there Aquatic Heritage they require less oxygen than humans and are not as harmed by pressure- or even IMMUNE to pressure damage entirely, Now I know that ones a leap- but I think that would be something to Shove skrell in the right direction, Give them that edge, that robustness they need to compete with other races. Now- those are just my opinions but...I love the skrell as an /Idea/ and would love to play them if they improve, but right now...there's just no benefit to playing a skrell besides slime and warbling...

IM GOING TO NEED TWO BOLTERS FOR ALL THIS HERESY, FOR THE IMPERIUM OF MAN!!!!

Sorry about that... Its the middle of the night for me and I am Deadpan Tired.(calling you delta) as stated, Some of the issues are severe, some arnt. but its the /amount/ of them all thats what is warrantable, As stated. pretty much everyone kisses this place goodbye at a max of five warnings, Except for techno aparently he is special, He has TWENTY EIGHT warnings and still messing about, hasnt changed hardly at all and he offends /somone/ every other time he says somthing, As jboy said its completely ridiculas that this topic even exsists, techno should have had this happen to him a VERY long time ago and for some reason, whatever that may be, did not. This is long overdue and quite frankly just needs to end here.

The problem is regardless of how it seems, the issue stands. staff /have/ pulled him off to the side and tried to work with him, Many a time, and it has done nothing, As I have said it burns me to say but the only option left is a Permnanent ban, Everyone has tried everything else, We have tried to work with the problamatic user and No real changes have occured, Every step we could have taken before this has been done, In fact each of them has been done multiple times Theres nothing else left to do but this. Look, its not like its the complete end of things, later on down the road a while he can always apologize and appeal, and it can be given another shot. But I agree, This IS a last resort measure, because this flat out is The last resort with techno, Everythings been tried, nothing has changed his attitude.

Unfortunatly, we will have to agree to disagree here. As I and plenty of others believe Techno passed that threshold your speaking of long ago, Delta he has TWENTY EIGHT notes and warnings, countless complaints and other various punishments against him, hes forum banned as of RIGHT NOW for his actions. This has gone on long enough with no improvement, he has had his chance. And I can Say without a doubt (After having been told) That there are several players who think he destroys their game ICly and OOCly, And the lot of those people DONT want to see him here , Ever, Ever again. I know what a permanent ban is for, and thats exactly what the lot of us feel is needed.Everything else that can be done has been done and he has had a ridiculas amount of time to improve and failed misreably. No more chances. just. no. He has had WAY to many as is.

Non-Antag Combat related stuff? Sure. But thats the very least of the concern here. It's just time. This should have been done long ago and nobody has an answer for why it wasnt.
