Species you are applying to play:  Unathi

What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Metallic Silver (Aut’Akh)

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:

One day when I was playing Aimee I ended up having an Aut’Akh co-worker in robotics, and it was probably the most pleasant experience I had. This left quite the impression on me. The unathi acted like no other unathi I’ve seen, so friendly and bordering on Zen-like. I was curious so I started reading up on their lore and mechanics and well… here I am. 

 

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

Aut’akh are peculiar, especially amongst the unathi. They are a relatively new sect, focusing on quite frankly stupendous level of augmentation, to the point where discussion on whether they are cyborgs or not could be appropriate. Yet, despite this outcast status in their society, they are encouraged to be the friendliest creatures on the planet due to the hole the lack of Oss’s connection leaves inside them. I always liked the idea that maybe we can become better and something more through machines, and there frankly is no race that can represent that better than the Aut’akh. And oh god Oss quirks are downright fascinating.

 

Character Name: Optikam Azski, Paramedic

Please provide a short backstory for this character:

“Life’s what you make out of what you’re given” was the first thing the discolored female sinta learned in her childhood. She was expected to grow up into a young lady of the house, to stay in the background as those discolored like she was were expected to. Her local shaman claimed her sickly white color to be a stain on her clan - a curse of the ancestors who were displeased with how they’ve conducted themselves lately.

And yet…

...not one of those things mattered when the contact wars came. Still merely a 5 summers old child Azski’s world was thrown into chaos when her village, family and neighbours all either perished or disappeared. The little one survived, albeit barely. Living on what she could find, and running away from danger she couldn’t handle she bumbled her way through the wars, always moving, never staying in one place. For everyone would remember the discolored thief should she find a place for herself. 

Eventually she was accepted into the Kuhwinla orphanage. She, like many others was scarred from the war in more ways than one. And yet, still, she was unable to find common ground with the others. Bullied and ostracized for her colour she was bottom of the ladder in her newfound home. 

And yet…

… despite all of that, she survived. Her will hardened and steeled itself through all the hardships and she learned to fight back. And that was around the time a certain individual approached her. Offered her a new start, with no history to weigh her down, with no body to be judged by, and a place where one may be revered solely by their actions. And that’s a day that Azski will remember forever, for that is the day she joined the Aut’Akh.

Being part of the commune was difficult at first, but Azski was more than willing to leave her cursed, discolored visage behind. Yet, she opted for a silvery metal chassis, a clear statement of defiance to the world who had treated her so unkindly. A message sent with not words, but action. And this attitude is what lead her to joining with the Optikam, for she saw the value in their willingness to act when everyone else is still talking. For life is what you make out of what you’re given.

Amongst the Aut’Akh she may be recognized as a Paradigm who added optional rescue and quick first-aid subroutines to BattleTrance.OSS, allowing for BattleTrance fielding of medical personnel in sync with their combat units.

What do you like about this character?

Azski is a character who was growing up throughout the Contact War, and it has shaped who she is. She is not particularly talkative, preferably using laconic phrases. This is completely different to a lot of my other characters - Aimee for example is very talkative and often has very long sentences due to filling in unnecessary words. She, as all Optikam, would seek to achieve her given objective by any acceptable means necessary, and her short and cut-to-the-point attitude should make for quite an interesting development when she will feel the need to bond with everyone around her.


How would you rate your role-playing ability?
7/10 - While I do try to look for rp chances, sadly I often reply only reactively and don't drive a narrative to my satisfaction. I currently see this as my biggest weakness and it bothers me. However, I try to work on this. So why did I rate my ability as above average but not excellent? Because while I do believe I have a huge weakness in that, I also believe that I have a big strength in rp - and that is willingness to improv and change my entire plan at drop of a hat if something is more fun for everyone involved.


Notes: Thank you for taking the time to read the app :)

I haven't had a lot of chances to RP with Naelynn but I have enjoyed all the times I have been able to! Naelynn has also been super helpful in answering any questions I might have and I will always be super appreciative of that! +1

Also nooo I will miss Curator! RIP : (

I got back earlier than I thought. I'm so full on pizza that I almost fell asleep but I rolled out of bed to my laptop on the floor next to it and am responding to this app from there.

You have a solid character background and you look to have a genuine interest in the species. As an Optikam you have a reason to perform very mild shenanigans but be careful about it.

Application accepted!
