Soultheif96 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) BYOND Key: Soulthief96 Character Names: Sterben, ORION, Ryder L. Philips, Flamel, and Quintin Copperfield. Species you are applying to play: Vaurca What color do you plan on making your first alien character: (RGB 20,20,55) 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. No. I am not follow that. Why do you wish to play this specific race: The reason I want to play this specific race is because of how unique and vast the lore is surrounding the Vaurca. The concept of being an entirely different species apart from Human or IPC would prove to be quite a challenge. I look forward to better understand what it is like to be a Vaurca as I play and read the lore in depth as I go on. There is a lot of go through but I will go with C'Thur for the first character. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The way the Vaurca is different from Human is the reliance on Phoron to survive. We understand the drives we go off of as Humans, the ambition, the need to become greater for the sake of ourselves or our children. The Vaurca is different, they are generally passive and go by what the group wants. They have a reliance on the virtual reality to stay connected with one another and their lesser queens. As for bounds, they only understand the job they were created for and that only. It is difficult for one to deviate from their own job. Character Name: Za’Akaix’Koliax C'thur Please provide a short backstory for this character: Koliax was born as a warrior to the Lesser Queen Vytel. Bred for combat, yet he would rather seek passive means to bring down the opponents before him, unless otherwise. Like the mother, Koliax seeks justice and fairness, sought out to make right from wrong and correct those who violate the code. Through this time, he has learned the meaning of being a peacekeeper within the hive. Koliax was then tasked to explore the surrounding systems and relay the information of how other species uphold justice among their wrongdoers. So he went to Tau Ceti. Koliax struggled to find work outside of the hive as an unbound, until he was directed towards NanoTrasen to sign up as part of the security force. Koliax grew familiar with how to operate within regulations and subdue the violators of the infractions. He is still currently learning how each species act on crime and how they correct their criminals. What do you like about this character? What I like about Za'Akiax'Koliax C'Thur is he is an unbound who acts in favor of what is right from wrong, yet he is still curious of how his co-workers use their methods to subdue criminals before they get out of hand. All there is for him to learn is up to the crew of NSS Aurora. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I would a 7/10. Notes: N/A Edited May 20, 2019 by Soultheif96 Changes Link to comment
JamOfBoy Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hi, deputy here. I've noticed a couple (hopefully) honest mistakes in your application. Firstly, you are using the C'thur "default" colouration which has since been removed from the wiki. Your character is from Vytel's brood, so they'd use Vytel's colouration. Second, the T in C'thur shouldn't be capitalised. And you've spelt Akaix wrong. Question time: How much of the Prime Means does Koliax know? Does Koliax follow the Hive Pantheon, Preimminence or Pilot Dream religion? What augments does Koliax have? How does Koliax feel toward the K'lax hive? Link to comment

Ah, apologies, I did not mean to overlook minor details of the mistakes I’ve made. Inital parts are corrected. Since Koliax is a Za in the Vytel brood, The Prime Means is instrumental in his whole life within the hive. The set rules of war and engagement is strictly followed with little deviation as to retain the honor Koliax intend to keep. Openly, Koliax appears to be a follower of the Hive Patheon, but secretly, he delves in the Preimmenence for guidance as he goes on with the pursuit of justice Koliax is so driven on. He cannot risk exposing his own true following out of fear that other Vaurca may detest him for it or perhaps kill him for being associated with what instigated the First Hive War. The augmentations are rather simplistic and is enough for him, a oxygen filter and a neural socket. As an unbound, Koliax values his own indepence from the Queen, but will always obey the word of C’thur or Vytel. Koliax holds no dispute or sense of lording over another K’lax as he intende to stay neutral as possible, even with the Vaurca. As long as they do not violate the laws of the current system, the corporate regulations, and the code the Hives follow, they will be left alone. I hope this is sufficent enough. Link to comment
armrha Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Sterben just had a fun round where a traitor tried to coerce him into doing the traitor's dirty work and he managed to turn the tables on the traitor, bringing all the sordid details to light with security. Instead of setting off a murderous rogue of rambo security guys, they made a plan and used N2O to knock out the traitor and their captive on the bridge, as there was a threat of a bomb and they hoped to eliminate any chance they could set it off. It was like the Moscow theater hostage crisis but no hostages died, and the only hostage was a robot anyway so there was no threat of that. I thought his depiction was interesting, immersive and fun. +1 Link to comment
Seeli Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 +1 Great roleplayer and interesting characters, would like to see more. Link to comment
DeadLantern Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I think this character is interesting, but not in the way you meant it. It would be interesting to see a Vaurca that knows from right to wrong but in Vaurcae ideals, and try to apply them to a human workplace. I'm not here to give a plus 1 or minus 1, just a thought Link to comment
