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:

At first, it was simply because 'ooh furries, my interest is piqued.' However, after interacting with them in game and inquiring on their lore, my interest has

expanded to include their significant political unrest, how their society is adapting to extraterrestrial contact, the sudden jumps in technology, and so on.

Most of all I wish to see first hand what its like to play this kind of person, exposed to such turmoil and promptly shoved out into the rest of the galaxy,

surrounded by so many more perspectives.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:

As stated previously, the significant political turmoil on their home planet provides for very different rp and perspective than most humans, who live in a

state of peace until relatively recently in the lore. On top of this, there is also the relatively recent addition of advanced technology, with a lot of

Adhomai not having access to what the rest of the universe would consider modern technology.

Character Name:

Ma'Naheh'raya Sahir

Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs

Born to a small family in a relatively little town, she lived a simple life of little note up until 11 years, when the second revolution kicked off, and a DRPA

raid on her town killed most of the occupants, including the majority of her family. Until then the town was primarily PRA, and while some turned their backs

on them for their late response to the attack, she chose to stand by them even more than before, having no others to turn to in her broken state. During her time

tagging along with PRA soldiers, she quickly fell into a medical role, helping the medics with basic things such as grabbing items or holding something, eventually

working her way to actual first aid and field medicine. During this time she saw first hand the atrocities that the DRPA committed, to both civilians and PRA

combined.

After some time, she returned to proper education, spending her free time volunteering at local clinics, and eventually enrolling into the Trizar State Medical

Academy at 18. After a year of courses, she was put into an exchange program with the Biesel Institute of Medical Sciences, giving her a chance to leave her home

world for the first time, and further her education with a fresh perspective from this extra-terrestrial college. However, due to only having a year of proper medical

education under her belt, she isn't quite qualified for a medical internship or residency. This, combined with an increased cost of living, has driven her to pick up

work as a cargo tech on the Aurora.

What do you like about this character?

What I like about her isn't so much what is, but what can be. I am planning on developing her character from what she is now, a die-hard PRA supporter, into a more

neutral, human-like Tajaran. through interactions with other cultures, an expanded perspective on not only her home-world's situation, but the universe as a whole,

and simply interacting with more than just her own race primarily, I look forward to the potential for growth as a person coming to fruition.

How would you rate your role-playing ability?

I can't consider myself skilled by any means, however I appear to be adequate enough to not be bwoinked for failrp in the time I've spent station-side.

Notes:

I would like to add that watching her family and friends be butchered by the DRPA has had a lasting effect, in that she is mostly numb to watching death unfold before her. This is one of a number of factors that lead to her falling into the medical field. Though she is prone to very, violent nightmares, often finding herself waking up on the floor.

Have had a great time with Jalen Roberts. A refreshingly kind character in a department of Dr. Houses. Don't sell yourself short---you're a fantastic roleplayer. I can't speak on Tajaran lore but I presume you could roleplay anything if you were well-informed on it. +1.

Ill be reviewing this application tomorrow. Be sure to advertise once let round in OOC to collect feedback!

There's not a whole lot to dig into with your application. It's pretty cookie cutter as far as Tajara applications go, but you seem to have a strong grasp of the common tropes and major themes. I do have two things to caution about. The first is densensitivity to violence. PTSD and first-hand experience with violence is common among Tajara characters, but just never use this as an excuse to valid hunt or anything along the lines of "I've covered wars you know" as justification to chase down and kill antags. The second is the gradual transition to being a "human-like Tajara." You have to be very careful with this, since in some cases it's been done masterfully but in many its gone less well. So long as your character isn't walking around talking openly about their sexual predilections, it should work out just fine.

You had some feedback, and checking the web interface, you are REALLY active on station. I wish I had the kind of time on my hands to play spessmens as often as you do, it's honestly impressive. So activity is no issue at all.

Application accepted! I hope to see Sahir arround on station.
