[Denied] Dark1Star IPC Application

[Dark1Star]

BYOND Key: (byond key) Dark1Star

Character Names: (character name) John Normandy, Reiner Rivette, Karthis Tarryk, Jake Jarvis, Buck Woodward

Species you are applying to play: (species name) IPC (Intergrated Positronic Chassis)

What color do you plan on making your first alien character: (Color of your character; Dionaea & IPCs exempt): N/A

Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes, I have read the lore on IPCs

 

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 bellive playing an IPC can offer unique experiecnes in role-play scenarios. They don't drink, eat or require sleep which can be a big plus at times, they are only limited by their battery life and how weak they are to EMP attacks. They also do not heal like regular living beings, so for them to be repaired, they require being fixed by Robotocists or Nanopaste, even then sometimes the damage is so severe that Nanopaste cannot fix it.

(One paragraph minimum)

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

IPCs cannot... FEEL like a human can and they cannot show emotion, like a human can. Depending on the type of model could effect their personality as well, a baseline IPC could be pretty human like, but a G2 Frame could have a very basic personality and not show any kind of emotion. As I said above, their ability to heal does not exist and must be repaired, so in security situations, they would be really good at protecting a point, or just acting sentry.

(One Paragraph minimum)

Character Name: (Character name) Aquila

Please provide a short backstory for this character

Created in 2433 2447, Aquila was created for the soul purpose of tactical defence, it has a basic personality, but also being military focused. He was created for many uses, Security, Emergency Response, Military etc. When he was built he was put in a miliary contract and traded around a few military corporations and such, after a while he was transferd over from a military unit to a security unit in high profile areas. During which Aqulla protected several VIPs and people of High Standing.

After a lot of work protecting VIPs, he was bought by NanoTrasen and transfered to the ISD for space station and asset protection instead of VIPs. One of those assets is the NSS Aurora Station. Tasked to the ISD protecting the station and the crew inside, for NanoTrasen.

(Aproxomately two paragraphs)

What do you like about this character? (Describe what you like about this character)

I like this character because of the scenarios he could be in and get in to as a security officer with a basic but military focused personality, not showing much emotion and being very neutral about situations. Example would be a situation where someone has a hostage. He would go "ASSESSING THREAT: THREAT LEVEL: YELLOW, ADVISE NON-LETHAL: FORCE" He can talk to people still, but it wouldn't be as human or as... normal IPC would be.

How would you rate your role-playing ability?

I like to think my roleplaying ability is good, but I'm not going to say it's the greatest, I know there are people out there with waaay better roleplaying ability than I have that I can name off by heart. I rate my roleplaying ability at about a 5-6, out of 10.

Notes:

I used to have an IPC whtielist some time ago, I don't remember how I lost it and why but It's probably because I did something not IPC like. It was a while ago but my memory fails me.

Also, I SUCK at coming up with decent backstorys for anything in any game or RPG like in DnD and other tabletop games. So I know there is room for improvement, but if you can give me some ideas on the backstory, or what I should add to it, that'd be great! (also I wrote this at 12am please don't eat me alive)

Yeah, his speach won't always be like that. Just when it involves security. If someone asks him a question he will respond in kind.

Heyo! So, I will be honest I don't know much about IPCs. so I'll leave the big hitters that know IPC lore to ask the questions... but...! I can talk about John Normandy!

 

And I will say I really really enjoy John Normandy as a character. Sometimes I think he's a total meme and a goofball, but his quality as a character is refreshing and fun. He gives great RP and I really enjoy him for what he is as a character.

 

I support this whitelist and would like to see Dark grow as a player

I can vouch for Dark1Star’s roleplayability and do see the potential for him to expand into other species, IPC being a good first step for him.

I have to agree with Allakai’s points here.

So, you have my +1

Was he a robot before he was an IPC? Modern IPCs as we know them didn't show up till around 2440, and the Skrell leak that created positronics happened 2437. You have his creation set at 2433.

Oh right, honestly it completely blanked on me about his age when it came to when they showed up, I'll fix that with a quick edit. I don't know how I missed that.

Cool. I assume since NT transferred him, he's an owned IPC?

Seems alright to me with the fix and I like Darks RP.

Yep he's owned by NT.

After letting the feedback come around, it's time to process this.

I will be honest and say that the majority of the roleplay I've seen from John Normandy is lackluster, leaning on the blatant power gaming side of things. Your application is mechanically driven, focusing on some of the least important aspects of IPCs themselves (those being the gameplay differentiations) and I see little difference from what originally got your whitelist stripped in the first place in your behavior. I don't feel confident in accepting this application with all that said.

Application denied.
