Species you are applying to play: IPC (Shell Frame Accessory)

What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Exempt, BOIIII

Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: A lot more thoroughly this time, ye

 

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 seeking to put together a character that's as very 'literal' in the sense of words and their meanings, as well as somebody who's actually suppose to me optimized for their work. Somebody who's work ethic is rarely outmatched. To be honest, I think it'll help my role playing ability, as I usually play characters that only view things from the perspective of an organic, born-and-raised, naturally grown person. Not to mention, I rarely give myself a chance to play a character from this perspective of society. So why? Improvement & exploration.

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

I think most notably the ceaseless discrimination that humans have against them. The idea is that you're playing something that, whether adamantly trying or not, is trying to impersonate a living being. Many people are against this, and typically don't receive it well that they didn't truly have a genuine human interaction. Whether it was a good or bad experience, some can't push past the fact they're synthetic. Due to the history of invasive and infiltration-based occurrences, one can understand where all the distaste originates from. (Expanded) The differences a human bears against being an IPC, or otherwise synthetic, is that their personality and nature is built upon the foundation of their entire lives; from birth and childhood, to workforce and social activity. While IPCs learn of every individual and their natures, as well as gaining knowledge about self-preservation and the daily needs to get by, they don't let their experiences change them, unless it's for the betterment of themselves and/or the individuals they consider allies or superiors.

Character Name: Requiem

Please provide a short backstory for this character (Aproxomately two paragraphs)

Being constructed under Einstein Engines' subsidiary Taipei Engineering, Tingting Huang proposed a project to create a Shell Frame that would outclass even the most productive Bishop Frame; of course striking where they lack the most, the mimicry factor. This plan came together within the company, by calling forth favors from Terraneus Diagnostics for their Shell Frame research, and both from some outstretched sources within Bishop. The idea was to take the best of both the finance and service worlds, making a chassis capable of covering culinary dining, as well as executive work. A perfect hand-servant.

Finally, the frame was created. Requiem was its name, to reflect the gentle sound of elevator music, or record-players from old Earth. A very rustic feel adorned this frame, reflecting a typical handmaid from early century Europe, with mixed influence from other cultures. The frame was then traded around between Bishop, Einstein and Taipei for individual maintenance and improvements. Nanotrasen caught wind of this, and proposed a very expensive deal for this dauntless frame; and once brought into Nanotrasen hands, was re-optimized to work in Nanotrasen's best interests.

As a part of Requiem's training she underwent was to frequently visit and work under a trade member within the Golden Ones faction. Through this, she learned methods of trade, the attitude of a merchant, and the many natures of business. This shaped her own signature personality, learning to be polite in the face of growing toxicity, and to be patient and understanding of every individual; not only to use this to the benefit of her business, but to utilize this knowledge should it ever prove useful.

The expenses and effort gone into her training, conditioning, programming and mechanical structure, as well as her positive attitude and dedication to Nanotrasen, makes her a common target among crime groups and competitive companies alike. The gullible nature of her single-minded training is just a simple misdemeanor away from putting her on the wrong path. Likewise, her unassuming attitude of malicious intent leave her vulnerable to obvious threats until proven.

What do you like about this character? I used the word dauntless as a defining trait. I think my favorite part will be playing something that's dedicated unerringly to the ideals of Nanotrasen; this is something I simply haven't given myself the chance to play before, and thought this would be an excellent opportunity to try. Personal servants are always something that amazed me, as well, in which this character may be wholly dedicated to the safety and assurance of the Captain, or some other Head of Personel where applicable, otherwise simply 'housekeeping' in their absence to make sure conduct is followed.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? I've been roleplaying a long time now, in D&D, online games, MMO's, otherwise. I've had a lot of experience with Space Station as a whole, and a little less than a year's worth on Aurora alone. I think my roleplaying reflects that, is really all I can say for myself. I do also roleplay as many different archetypes of characters and persona's. Being able to shift from one to another is not a problem for me.

 

Notes: Dear god I really hope I read my share of lore this time.

Thank you for reading! ❤️

Expanding on Topics; Adding interaction with the Golden Ones in backstory

[niennab]

Keep in mind that IPCs themselves aren't inherently flawless. One could argue their inability to truly pass off as human is one such example. Or, errors in production.

Nonetheless, can you expand upon what makes a human different from an IPC? I use this portion to glean that the player has not only read the wiki, but are able to interpret it so to not cause any issues server side. Also, could you expand upon the story?

[Bristling_Feces]

I can do that. Should i update it or place it in a reply?

[niennab]

Updating it is fine!

[Bristling_Feces]

Yus! Ill try and get to it soon. These feel tough.

[Bristling_Feces]

Because i know ipc arent actually flawless, they just act on as if their directive MUST BE DONE, or their difficult to influence through the same concerns a person would be.

[Bristling_Feces]

Edited, had to do a little extra reading. I thought, where does her personality come from? What even is her personality?

I hope I did better. I really had to figure out what a life of an IPC really consists of other than work.

[Brutishcrab51]

I like how you included the Golden Deep faction in this character's backstory.

I also like all of your characters. I usually don't do hollow or short posts for applications, but frankly, you can handle an IPC. It's a good character concept, you've displayed a general understanding of the "race" and you play a wide variety of diverse characters from differing backgrounds already.

An easy +1

[Bristling_Feces]

Thank you, that means a lot! ^ . ^

[RadiantRose]

You're a solid roleplayer and Midna's fun to interact with! I haven't seen your other characters, but I don't see any reason not to +1.

[niennab]

Technically to receive training from the Golden Deep, one would need to be a member. It is unlikely they would sell their knowledge of trade to those outside of the faction.

I will deny the application for now based on insubstantial content from the answers and the misinterpretation of the Golden Deep but I feel you do have a start to a great app. It might be worth considering this character being a previously owned Golden Deep or current Golden Deep owned character, as the server is sadly lacking representation from that faction.

Feel free to apply in a week nonetheless!
