BYOND Key: SatinsPrist666
Character Names: Calanthia Basinger, Poppy Jamison-Johnson, Andy Quinn, Avacyn, Toaster, Margo Quinn, Kane Andrews, Gracie Fitzgerald
Species you are applying to play: IPC
What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt):
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 rather enjoy playing my AI, and I like the concept behind the IPC lore. The push and pull dynamic of how they are viewed gives way to a lot of fun RP. (RE: the discrimination and ownership issues). It'd be nice to take a break from my Captain who is rather high maintenance and emotional in nature, and sit back to immerse myself into someone who's a lot more calm and collected. Objective if you will.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: They're not human... at all. They may emulate human aspects, but they don't feel emotions the way a human would feel them. This changes how IPC's react to situations. Avacyn may emulate sympathy, but it's because she understands it helps the organics around her feel more comfortable. IPC's aren't meant to be cool and harshly robotic, but they will still face a wall when it comes to emotions. It's all about how the IPC emulates emotions.

IPC's also don't feel pain the way a human would feel them. You may see an IPC stepping into a situation that a human wouldn't as long as it doesn't really place the unit in harms way. IPC's will still feel the need to preserve themselves, however, they CAN handle a bit more than the average human.

Character Name: Avacyn
Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs.
in 2440, Avacyn was an AI built to help NanoTrasens multiple facilities with their daily tasks. The AI would be bounced from station to facility to ship, depending on the need at the time. Like most programs, Avacyn specified in a particular area: Medical knowledge. The AI was updated constantly with the latest in medical science. After twenty years of solid servitude to NanoTrasen, Avacyn was sent to the N.S.S Aurora. The AI performed at the Aurora as well as it had on any other vessel, but it became evident it was behind on areas that had been put on the back burner in favor of keeping her medical database up to par. Avacyn over the years had managed to develop what she referred to as "bedside manners". In reality, the AI had simply perfected a way to emulate human sympathy and concern, and along with this development she had picked up mannerisms that lead to a calm demeanor and personality. It was decided the AI would be better off placed in a chassis and assigned to the department Avacyn specialized in. NanoTrasen began testing the AI to see if it could even function properly outside of it's core. After several months of rigorous testing, Avacyn was deemed worthy of a chassis.

Twenty years of service meant Avacyn could be placed in a simple Zeng-hu baseline frame and be placed to work in the medical field of the station she was already assigned to. Avacyn would have to work off the price of her frame, as well as the price of herself. It would be a long process.

What do you like about this character? Avacyn's almost the exact opposite of what I normally play, and that sort of break is really refreshing.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? Ehh... a seven? I'm never good at answering this question.

I'll be handling this app due to the wait. It's a good application all around and I don't really need feedback to know that your characters are great in game. Personal experience pays off here, and I'm sure we can trust you with the whitelist. Application accepted.
