Species you are applying to play: Vaurca
What color do you plan on making your first alien character: RGB (0,80,60) Leto Brood, of the K'lax
Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: I have indeed.

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 have mixed feelings about the Vaurca. Their lore tended to confuse me, but I decided to... give it a try. Anyway, I have been seeing some Vaurca players, and I kind of got some character concept in mind, and then I slowly began getting interested in playing at least one Vaurca. I don't have any great reasoning honestly, beyond just a bit more variation in what I can do, not going to lie. Though I have also been interested in the possibility of playing a Ta, but that would come at a much later time.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:
    They are insectoid, with hard exoskeletons and breathe Phoron, instead of the typical air mixture on station. I'll be perfectly honest I'm not quite sure how it translates to in-game play, and it's something I'll have to see in game. Anyway, they are split into Bound and Unbound, which the former is almost like a Cyborg, they are often called Drones, they are very specialized in their field, and typically are less "educated" because they have less free will. The latter, the Unbound, are the more human like, they have free will, and are typically "smarter" than their Bound counterparts. Vaurca are highly discriminated, unable to hold command positions, and even require avowals of responsibility forms signed and on-record by command staff, to take any non-civilian or intern-level job. They are also split between three more variants, to further segregate them, that being Ka (Workers), Za (Soldiers), and Ta (Breeders). Ta are only ever seen on station as representatives, and are literally made for the job they are given, meaning they are highly intelligent in the way things work in Biesel. Vaurca tend to literally live to serve, Unbound or not, and will often find enjoyment in working, especially if it benefits their hive, and brood.

Character Name: Ka'Akaix'Sikt K'lax
Please provide a short backstory for this character
    Ka'Akaix'Sikt is an unbound, hatched in the Leto brood, of the K'lax hive. They worked particularly to study the artifacts acquired through Leto's search into the past. Ka'Akaix'Sikt worked farther away, with a multitude of Bound and Unbound with them, in human space, and for this reason, they had adopted a highly sociable attitude, and enjoy greatly sharing their discoveries with the different aliens, organic or not. This led to people finding Sikt to be strange, and somewhat annoying. They did not let up though, continuing to speak of the discoveries that the brood would find, and talk about how they are definitely linked to the ancient Vaurca.

    Invested in their search for artifacts, they learned of a certain asteroid, that had many recorded ancient objects, and Xenoarchaeologists working on the station situated on top of it. The station, being owned by NanoTrasen, meant that Sikt, if they wanted to serve the brood, and locate yet more of the "Vaurca past", they would need to be employed there, to which they had moved to Tau Ceti. They would work as an Assistant, until they could prove useful, and trusted... Then, they would begin their search on the asteroid, and share their findings with all who would listen.
    
What do you like about this character?
    They are... Probably my most social character, oddly enough. I mean, I have them envisioned to be... Almost annoyingly talkative, and their sociable attitude means that if I do get them into a Xenoarchaeologist position, I'll be able to share my findings with all who would listen, like I said. Great RP potential in a potentially lonely job. Also, they're teal. Teal is a cool colour.

How would you rate your role-playing ability?
    I am... Decent, I think. At least, I try my best.

Notes:
    Sorry the backstory is short. It's not much, I know, and if you want more, do tell me, and I'll see what I can do.

I had the pleasure to play with ZeroWinds a number of times, with different characters, and it has always been a solid and very nice RP, i have no doubt he will give a very solid Vaurca with great RP.

+1 And good luck on your application

Zero is an absolute champ at Roleplay. I find myself actually waiting for them to log on just so I can speak to them in either OOC, LOOC or IC. I without a doubt believe that they can accurately portray the vaurca species.

Hi. I am the deputy. I like how you managed to tie Leto's goals in to how Sikt seeked employment on the Aurora, usually its just "I need a job guess I'll go here" but you found an ulterior motive along with it, well done! As for the character itself, I have some questions. 

1: What does Sikt think of the other 2 hives?

2: Does Sikt follow a religion?

 

[Zer0Winds]

Sikt thinks of the Zo'ra rather lowly, for their arrogance in assuming they are the rightful rulers of the K'lax. The C'thur, they aren't really as bad, but they do think the hive is foolish, compared to the Technologically Advanced K'lax.

For religion, I'd say they follow the Hive Pantheon, since they revere Leto tremendously.

[Roostercat]

Decent answers. I'll support it. +1

Hello! I'm sorry for taking a while in getting to this.

Application accepted. I look forward to seeing you play Sikt on station.
