Myphicbowser's Tajara Application

[Myphicbowser]

BYOND Key: Myphicbowser
Character Names: Katha Mars, Za'Akaix'Vak K'lax, Zaqix Zixquu, IRU-Kathy, Issa Korvitis
Species you are applying to play: Tajaran
What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Beaver Brown (RGB 159, 139, 112)
Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Conceivably

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:
This server has the only interesting usage of Tajaran I have ever seen, I’ve never seen another species like this in general but to see Tajaran, which are widely regarded as memes in other servers, so when I came here and saw these Tajaran, I fell in love, and who wouldn’t?

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:
This species is much less xenophillic than humans, even barely able to tolerate different ethnicities of Tajaran which seems like a largely defeated issue in the humans in this setting. I would say that the Tajaran here are also different in how they believe one should represent their Nation, 

Character Name: Makjurl Hrarvahrrhaz
Please provide a short backstory for this character

Born in 2428 to a remote family of Hharar that was spared the brunt of the fighting, Makjurl saw as a young child the glory of Hadii’s army after the war and during the interwar period and what he represented for Tajara. As a staunch Hadiist, Makjurl was devastated as Hadii started acting against Nanotrasen and was outraged that they were taking steps to undue what was done, Adhomai benefited from Nanotrasen and megacorporations, they had the resources they lacked in her opinion. She went with what he had to say until the day that changed Adhomai forever, the assissination of Al'Mari, from that day forth she was right back with the People’s Republic of Adhomai, she never missed an execution and kept calendar dates of demonstrations, she was proud to be a citizen once again.

The prosperity brought on by Nanotrasen far outweighed the potential and clearly falsified fears of a stratified society, those who went to the Nal’tor College of Career Excellence only wanted what was best for the PRA, and they were admirable for this. While Makjurl held those in the service and backbone industries as heroes, she was physically meek and not built for labor, her marks were excellent and her constant support of the party was well documented, she when she applied for the Hadii Institute of Orbital Research, it was not a question of if, but of when. She started her journey to true education there, studying in robotics and participating in all Party organized events and celebrations, keeping her displays of loyalty loud and numerous. During these exhilibrating times is when she met her first husband, a lovely Hharar just like her. Her times with her first love were always exciting and full of study, but as they stayed together and planned for a family, the horrible truths of the Second Revolution caught up with them more and more, hearing of the stories on the front seemed to change the love of her life, making him distant and less receptive to the demonstrations. Her fears came to a head one night, after a shift working in the factories he came home tired and weak, and he spoke of another way, citizenship with the rebels. She was appalled but didn’t say anything until the next day, she came to him in the factory with his lunch as she did between her studies and work, and with Loyal Agents of the Party nearby, she demanded he renounce his ideals, that she return to him. She tried to apprehend him after he admitted he was planning to run away from the PRA, as she grabbed him he took the power saw he was using previously and attacked her, destroying her arm and the nerves within, leaving it useless.

As she recovered from her attack and the pain of having to report a loved one, she mulled over her life for a few days as she adjusted to living with a single arm. The time was short but unbearable before she was presented with a choice, after some counseling and decisive choices, she decided to be fitted with a tesla spine and receive a prosthetic. Her faith in the party was restored, as by the might of the Republic’s Technology, she was able to work once more and continue serving with distinction because of the grace she was given.

What do you like about this character?
I’ve always wanted to play a character that was, admittedly, a bad person from human standards but a loyal citizen of an alien faction, so I really enjoy that aspect. And I am not trying to be antagonistic as I will OOCly miss a lot of signs that Tajaran report to the Party, but I would love to be a reminder to Tajaran who are a bit open about not liking the PRA that people will report you, there will be issues with others of the same species, there should be reasonable conflict as they are on the verge of another way.

How would you rate your role-playing ability?
I, once again, never know how to answer this slot, I am a good Roleplayer in my opinion and I know I could be better, but when it comes down to it I know I can interact and have fun with other players, keep a story going up and keep a consistent narrative, so I think I am a fine roleplayer, but it is always hard to ask someone to judge themselves, so take that with a grain of salt.

Notes: Ha ha, cat go *purr *hiss *mlem

While the first two questions are rather succinct, the backstory was put a lot of effort into. While the character's story is fine, but it is missing an important part: how and why is the character working with NanoTrasen at Tau Ceti? I will ask for you to expand on that in the backstory and tell me what job you are planning on playing the character as.

Also, one question:

1- What does Makjurl thinks of the DPRA and the NKA?

 

[Myphicbowser]

So as for occupation and reason for leaving, I was planning on making her either a Roboticist or an Engineering following her time of study at Institute of Orbital Research, and after the second revolution she decided to seek employment with Nanotrasen as they were a trusted supplier of jobs and she wanted to see more of the universe. So just generally a sense of wanting to see more, I think her experiences would push her to wanting to see more through a trusted medium.

And as for your question: Makjurl views the DPRA with what she considers the proper level of contempt all PRA citizens should feel for them, she blames them for her husband's turn of ideals and considers to use them as a convenient scapegoat for all issues that befall Adhomai, she thinks they are dangerous rebels. The NKA however is entirely different, viewed with distrust more then outright hatred, she thinks they will not last long and will most likely be absorbed by the PRA if they know what is good for them, she was far too young to remember most of the horrible things the previous noble factions did and has no lingering hatred of them, just kinda pity and distrust. Of course she can't doo much about Tajara she considers dangerous radicals outside of PRA space, so her hatred of DPRA is admittedly just minor petty inconveniences while working, she is a professional that dare not misrepresent the PRA, so nothing that could reflect poorly on her or the Institute should be expected.

I added that last bit so you knew I wouldn't Valid or abuse DPRA players too much, just enough to be rude and annoying yah know?

Application accepted then.
