[ACCEPTED] KingOfThePing's Hard Bug Life

[KingOfThePing]

Byond Key: KingOfThePing

Character Names: Sei Armas, Natalie Pershing, Dana Zirin

Species you are applying to play: Vaurca
What colour do you plan on making your first alien character: RGB 55, 0, 120
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:
Vaurca are so immensly different from humans, it's terrifying. Their hirachy and social constructs are fascinating and they have a great in-depth lore, which I think is interesting to utilize.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:
You feed off a highly lethal, poisonous mushroom-thingy to survive, which is already pretty...interesting. And dangerous. Vaurca are as alien as any of the races can get. The Vaurca are often distrusted, discriminated and just being viewed as cheap labour force. I think it's interesting to play in a, let's call it, disadvantageous social situation, when playing. The upside is, that I don't have to care much about depressurizing and vented areas anymore, or going EVA to avoid a dangerous situation. You also have a cool "telepathy" hivenet ability, which is way cooler than the Skrell's. I am interested to see how it plays to be on the recieving end of xeno-discrimination.

Character Name: Ka'Akaix'Ven C'thur
Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs:
Born to Ta'Akaix'Xetl'jyatk'yatu C'thur, The Voracious Queen in 2458, Ven was raised and grown the same way as every other unbound worker, with half a year of organic development and another half year in VR to train him and form his personality. In the virtual world Ven decided that repairing, maintaining and constructing grand projects would benefit his hive and especially queen, the most. Ven first learned about the theory of structural engineering, electrical wiring, physics and thermodynamics and many more fields before constructing his first project in the virtual world. He is fascinated with the different materials used for construction, studying them in great detail, learning the different advantages and disadvantages and how to use them most efficiently. After that Ven was planning and constructing a multitude of projects, in varying size and complexity. He started with relatively easy projects, like structural sound corridors, bridges and catwalks but soon moved on to more complex topics, like shuttles, whole departments and in the end, his Magnum Opus, a virtual space station, fully functional and designed by himself. He, in his eyes, was the greatest engineer that has ever existed and told himself to use his abilities to bring his hive and his queen to new heights. He regularily shared his work within the construct with his queen and tried to please her and make her as proud as vaurca-ly possible. When leaving the virtual reality world, Ven quickly learned that reality is often disappointing. Unlike his expectations, he wasn't assigend to grand construction projects, as he thought he would be, at least at first. Soon, though, as more and more engineering teams were requested by the Skrell, he also started to help constructing the underwater colony projects within Glorashi, among other things. He felt significant and important again and with every assigend project, he gave his everything to please his queen and represent her, as he was taught. The Skrell he met in Glorashi were accepting him and his hive and that mislead him to thinking it would be like this in the whole universe. He was wrong. When he was sent to Tau Ceti, to work for NanoTrasen it was a hard time for him. Not only does he have to be an engineering apprentice again, since the corporation did not acknowledge him as a fully fledged engineer, but he learned that not everyone is as accepting of him and his brothers as the Skrell were in Glorashi. All that matters little to him, or so he thought, since it has gotten increasingly difficult to remain calm and ignore the discrimination he recieved lately. All that keeps him going is his undying devotion for his hive and especially, his Queen.

What do you like about this character?
The queen loves her Ka, and this Ven loves his queen above all else. He overcame the disappointments he experienced in his life cycle, because of his devotion to his queen. All he wants it so make his queen proud. Letting her down would be an error he wouldn't forgive himself. Also, his age, with 2 years and a bit is very young. He still learns about the world outside the virtual reality and is still met with everyday challenges.

How would you rate your role-playing ability: Rating yourself is presumptuous, but I think my roleplaying is alright.

Notes: Any feedback or critique, no matter if positiv or negative would me appreciated.

Yes, very good player. Good RP. Surprised no one has responded to this. +1

King Ping is a generally good RPer and this app is pretty decent, I don't see a reason why they shouldn't be whitelisted.

 

and mainly, not a zo'ra

It's good to see people making freshly out of VR Vaurca characters. To me, I think it has the most opportunities for interesting roleplay situations. Your characters hope and will to please their queen is also refreshing. Application accepted!
