Wassup!

As I asked Monomyth, I'd like to ask about your opinion on the Skrell/Dionae relationship. 

Do you plan to change the relationship between Skrell and Dionae? If so, how?

Do you believe that there are any plothooks that advances both Skrell and Dionae? If not, would you expand on one?

Goodluck for your application!

You seem to have recently come back and even then play in  irregular bursts, this is not an issue as a player, but can be an issue for staff.

 

How confident are you of being active? Lore staff have a lot of stake in the progress of the server, they're by no means required to stay for years, but leaving a few months in can be extremely jarring especially if there's unfinished business?

The relationship between Skrell and Dionae is understated. I feel like it has less of a stated impact on the Federation then the Cthur, who have only recently entered into the Federations graces. I don't know how i honestly feel about that. the general kind of feel that i have about Dionae in the setting is that they are "domesticated" by the Skrell. They are now parts and pieces of life support, terraforming, in addition to their status as a scientific curiosity. If I had to guess, the Skrell are view  the Dionae  with only a little fascination, in the sense that they only really interact with them as long as they hold their interest, and after generations of study that interest is starting to wane.

I could be wrong, this is only my general feeling. I haven't had that much of an interest in any other species of Aurora. Considering the close relationship between the species, I'll read up more on Dionae lore and be open to any ideas or plans that we could come up with. Dionae are a part of the cosmos, after all. I think they would make a excellent part of my plans to expand the ruins and deteritus of the Federations past, considering their capacity to live in extreme environments.

one plot-hook that comes to mind is the Federations pursuit for Skrellian DNA untarnished by Glorsh-Omega tampering: what better source than a Diona who had drank the blood of a Skrell long ago? It might not be easy to find, but it could be expanded upon later.

My interest in actually playing Aurora itself wanes and fills, but I've always kept track of the Aurora's news and events: sometimes I enjoy reading up on the lore and thinking about playing characters rather than actually playing them. If I'm not on the SS13 server, I am basically always active on the Discord server, and I will be able to devote time towards any duties I will have as a species maintainer.
