Shadow7889

Solid backstory and good understanding of IPC mechanics and lore. +1 from me. Imagine going from dominion to their mortal enemies.

This would also be a really cool idea!

So hear me out, I know there are a few folks, your truly included that play characters with perma-injuries without augmentation due to various reasons (Religious, etc.) I'd like to have a means to remove certain parts of the body for races, in regards to said injuries, and an update to their IC sprites. For example one of my officers, a Dominion lost his right eye in an unfortunate event, however due to his faith, he cannot bring himself to augment the lost eye, and wears an eyepatch for the sake of appearances. Not sure if this has been talked about before, or if its even possible but yeah.

Is it edict breaking if it's cooked? Hmmm

I've been in rounds a few times with Williams. Good HoP, has good clear communication during rounds. +1

Why don't you already have this vrow? Neith is an amazing person to hang around icly. Oocly vrow is very good at handling themselves. +1

Hopping on the hype train here with another +1. I cannot honestly think of any ic or ooc interaction with Faye that was on a negative note. They seem suited for staff.

Just removing or nerfing the blood boil of burns would be acceptable at this rate. It's extremely lethal beyond what laser rifles already do.

I've only had positive interactions with the player icly and oocly. I think they're capable in a command setting! +1!

I think if you step away from a command app involving Farson as well as improve some more on your ic play and avoid ooc issues, you can get a solid app going. Unfortunately I do not believe you're there yet. -1 from me. If your app is denied, don't let it discourage you. Improve upon your play a bit more and I can see you reaching command staff. Best of luck!

Finally someone's bullying read for a change!

DID SLEEPY SAY GOLDHORN?! YESSSSSSSS!!!! Goldhorn has got to be one of the best engineers and CEs I've met icly. Their rp is amazing and their mannerisms are wild and fun. Fat +1!

Heck yeah, questions! 1. This may not come as a surprise, but I was stuck between Competence Choir and Singular Sound, but Choir seems fitting for them being raised by Sinta. They learned early on from the sinta they were raised by that a clan is a sum of its parts and has a single voice. Their social nymph is the head of their collective and rarely needs to pause for reflection through the collective, thanks to the time they all spent in the garden and with the clan. 2. They're going to be a station engineer, as most of the collective knowledge gathered was comprised of what the sinta on Moghes tought them, and it stuck well. 3. Bisel was an adjustment. They were so used to Sinta culture and had not learned of the universe outside Moghes. There were daily challenges, and having to face specism sometimes confused them. They knew about violence and tempers, but didn't see a lot of it in the Queendom. They've seen more of it on Bisel. All that said, they grew and learned like they wanted to. And they're excited to start a contract with Hept! 4. First impressions are lasting impressions, and they were taught early on to carefully work with other races. Humans are the most devious, but they are brave in their own right. Skrell are smarter than anyone, but not very strong. Tajara fight a lot among themselves about things the collective don't seem to understand yet (Let's be honest, I stuggle OOCly with Taj politics. Lmao ) And Sinta are strong but very quick to temper. The Collective haven't met any other dionae, yet, but are excited to! As for IPCs, the queendom taught the collective that they are without soul and are useful tools. To be treated like the other races, but not to be openly trusted. Feel free to ask more questions! Thank you for those!

BYOND Key: Shadow7889 Character Names: https://gyazo.com/cea8c35fa5bd64e66196d95ab7adef91 Species you are applying to play: Dionae What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Exempt ( But their bark will be lighter! ) Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: I have. 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: Honestly I was pressured by Melaria to apply for Dionae. I've seen her play and others play as Dionae, and the conecpts that are possible are various and nearly endless. The idea of a collective of smaller beings forming one larger being and their need for light to survive is just different from what I'm used to as far as humans/unathi/ipcs go. They're also really great to be around ICly. I've met Undercity Fred a few times in game and I've always loved the concept of them. Can't remember who plays them, but top tier RP as a cook. My hope is that I can bring that same amount of RP and help the dionae community grow as well, and get more folks interested in playing them. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Dionae are not a singular being. They are a collective of smaller beings that form a larger being, be it a standard cyclops form of Dionae or the massive Cetus which are considered to be as large as a moon. Each nymph or base form contributes to the greater form itself. This affects how they speak, act, or socialize. There are so many different ways dionae ' sing' as well. They have a multitude of different ways to speak and the idea of a whole religion based around Dionae is different from some human and alien concepts. Character Name: A Collective of Tools and Stories. Please provide a short backstory for this character: Screwdriver. Wrench. Crowbar. Wielder. Wirecutters. Multitool. Hammer. A greater sum than its parts started their little lives in the Queendom, in the wastes of Moghes, born in a garden by a clan of sinta who were capable engineers. Their seeds purchased by a trade of goods with a merchant, they were brought to life in the year 2452. As they grew, they were taught through blood contact with the women of the clan, and in doing so, learned how to build, create, destroy, and bring light into the universe. Through the same contact, they learned to hiss and speak with their creators, learning of Unathi Culture and how to show honor in all things. They even helped to soak and remove radation from the surrounding areas to keep the clan safe and healthy. As they grew, they yearned to see the universe even more and listen to the songs of other races besides the Unathi. With permission from the clan, they were permitted to hold contact with Hephestus Industries, and learned even more. Ten years later, they were granted their collective wish, to see the universe, share their experiences with others, and learn the stories of others. Boarding a merchant vessel in the year 2463, they headed for Tau Ceti, to begin work as a contractor on the NSS Aurora. Sadness of leaving Moghes behind was shadowed by the new things they would learn and the people they would meet. What do you like about this character? Collective is a merge between Sinta and Dionae to me. Taking in the sinta culture, but keeping their passive nature was a struggle for them, but understood by their clan. They are very capable as an engineer. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Probably a 7/10. I do pretty well. Thanks for reading!

GOD LOOK AT THE DRIP. Awesome work!

100% agree. Burn damage has gotten very lethal. A nerf to the amount of blood lost per shot or maybe just switching the armory to full ballistics and leaving the rest to cargo to order if needed sounds cool.

+1 lore is there in the story and I love the application of joint existance and teamwork with dionae. Question for you, given they intend to work in science/robotics, will they keep headstrong with their faith, or get a robotic arm? or will the dionae stay with them as a part of them?

Hard pass. Getting cuffed as it is is a game killer for most antags. Cuffs need to have their red text removed unless within two tiles, not buffed.

See you, space cowboy 😪

+1 Too many antags have been cut short with daring and fun escapes by this mechanic. Agree with the 1-2 tile range or examine.

Has been a literal joy RP'ing with Clem through various characters. Takano is a blast to work with in the ISD and his engineer is exceptional as well. May seem a bit biased as he's joining the clan, but I can't help but +1 this. LIZARD GANG!!
