Bristling_Feces Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 BYOND Key: Bristling_Feces Character Names: Noia Kurusava, Diama Ruter, Pao Pua, Winter Ase, Ginnunga Ase, Falle Greyleaf, Midna Haewire Species you are applying to play: Bishop Accessory Frame What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Well, you know... White. I'm not sure what options there are for Bishop, if any. lol Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes, my favorite part is Bishop being extremely calculated, and that IPCs in general are programmed to perform specific tasks. It's exactly the character I'm aiming for. 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'm looking to play a type of character that can fit the 'Secretary' sort of role better than a typical stock-standard human. I like the unerring nature of IPCs, and the simple, yet unnerving perfection that Bishops bring to the table of that within Service. With that in mind, I've taken inspiration from, really, any AI servant you can name, be it Cortana, and very similar synthetic beings from many different movies and games. Thinking of this character gets me excited. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The sheer polar differences between the imperfect human race and the perfect IPC mentality. I've always wanted to play something that had the right to boast about how flawless they are, whether or not it's true, which most likely isn't the case. The way they speak, the way they act, they survival instincts, the wholesome dedication to their strict directives. You can't find those traits in a human being (at least without holes in the script, so-to-speak). Character Name: Crown Please provide a short backstory for this character Among the streets of Tau Ceti, built within a dark alleyway, was a small community of shunned, discarded, and forgotten IPCs. Barely surviving day-to-day, still convinced of their purposes. A band of Dominians regularly passed by this part of town to 'remind' them where they belong, that nobody wants them anymore. One brave IPC stood out, and up, against these oppressing vagabonds. It wasn't mainly concerned about it's own safety, but the safety of the community that had kept each other, including them, active and alive. This left seemingly irreparable damage to the brave IPC. Until a scientist from Bishop came along, revealing to have witnessed the entire act. He gave the intelligence another chance, and at that, a doorway to a higher place in society. Wishing, now she, could have brought the small family she had with her, she took the step forward regardless, as she now served a higher cause, and had been directed by the most charitable human encountered, to serve within Bishop, and furthermore, unto Nanotrasen's very own Aurora. ((Programmed for Liasonary work, or Culinary dining.)) What do you like about this character? I have a very elegant image with this character. I hope it gains the reputation as 'the crown' of the service wing on the station, and hope it becomes somewhat iconic not only among the crew, but as part of the station itself. I want vibes for her like 'The Lady of Aurora' or something-- of course those are far out of my reach. But that's a good baseline for what kind of character I'm aiming toward. I hope it flavors RP better for everyone around her. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I hate this question. I really should have others rate my role-playing. However, I've been on the server for about a year now, and find most of my interactions enjoyable through the oddity of my characters. Snowflaking is frowned upon, but there always needs to be that one person that stands out in every wing, I think! Notes: Link to comment
niennab Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The character back story is a bit too simple and doesn't address certain story beats as to how the IPC was originally manufactured, it's purpose and what caused it to become effectively discarded or cast aside, etc etc. I typically look for more information from the OOC answers as well in order to glean that the player exhibits an understanding of the lore as well as the fundamental differences between IPCs and humans. Denied for now but feel free to apply in a week! Link to comment
