Hawkingtons Tajara Application


Recommended Posts

BYOND Key: Hawkington

 Character Names: Jacket, To Stab Individuals in a Healing Manner, V0x, Spawn of the Wind, Trace, Moss, Droz

Species you are applying to play: Zhan-Khazan Tajara

What colour do you plan on making your first alien character: Dark Grey (RGB 30, 30, 30)

Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yup

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: The Tajaran Cold War is a Particularly interesting and In-Depth-Feature that seems incredibly fun to RP as it has left it's mark on Near-Every Tajara, Their Lore is Incredibly in Depth, The Caste system most of which have a Specific language which stimulates RP even further means that Each Tajara is Unique. And the Aurora seems like a fun Staging ground for them and the Close-Knit communities they form.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Mechanically, Tajara Find the Station much warmer to an almost unberable degree, They Scratch instead of Punch, Tajara have a higher nutrition and hydration threshold and process reagents slightly slower. A Specialized set of Organs. And can see better in the Dark via Eye Dilation. They also Have to put their Voidsuits into a Suit Cycler, and Wear Specialized Gloves and Shoes. Tajara roll their Rs, and may speak Ceti Basic in a broken or slow manner.

Lore-Wise: Unlike Humanity, Tajara are relatively new to Interstellar Travel, and their Whole Civilisation is a bit of a Powder Keg, Due to the wars between factions, assassinations of notable leaders, with the second revolution only having ended quite recently, Even Currently, Gangs in Little Adhomai are being funded by Political Parties. They also have an elongated sleep cycle. A Tajaran’s shift might consist of bursts of activity, followed by brief periods of rest. Tajara are capable of using their appendages to express their emotions. Siik'maas also requires Certain inflections that Humans are incapable of.

Character Name Adrik Maa'zlouf

Please provide a short backstory for this character: Adrik was the Firstborn of a soon-to-be much larger Family. He was Born in a Small Farming Village in Adhomai in 2441. Quite aloof tinkering with small machines that never seemed to work the way he wanted them to. But always willing to stand up for his family when he Needed to. Adrik Never quite Understood what the PRA Was. Simply Noticing that there was a time where Everybody Crowded around the Radio, and that didn't particularly Interest him or His siblings. Until 2450. When He suddenly was Told to pack up and to Help his siblings do the Same by His mother. He Noticed the Radio was Now talking about something called the "New Kingdom of Adhomai" which Confused Him. Surely the Monarchies were bad right? If they weren't why were they Overthrown? Why would People want them back? Didn't Ma'ta'ke teach reunification? He Didn't have time To Question these. As his Father stayed Behind for the Village, Which Confuses Adrik to this day. And he had to help his Mother Deal with his four younger Siblings on the Hike to Nal'tor 

He barely Remembers Nal'tor though he loved the lights and the amount of how many different people there was, They had no time to enjoy it though as they had to go somewhere called Biesel to get away from the Bright Lights and loud noises in the Horizon. Caused By these Rebels. He didn't like the Pilot of the ship. Or how Cramped it was with Destitute Faces. Or the Gunshots he swore he heard, and had to drown out with talk of Trading cards and Comrade Rafama. And he Didn't care for This "District Six" Either, It was far too small for the amount of People in it and the "Social Harmony Committee" never felt as welcoming as it made itself out to be despite some of his siblings Interests in it . And Years Went By as He worked Washing Dishes for Shady Bars seeing the fallout of the Second Revolution, until He began to Fight Tooth and Nail to get into this "Hongsun Park Engineering Institute" at 16 years old. Barely Balancing Studying and working which Lead to long Periods of a Disturbed Sleep Cycle, Which caused The Siblings to grow apart slightly.

Eventually He got in, and Began to study until (Quite literally sometimes) he would Drop, eventually Graduating With an Engineering degree with a Specialization in Atmospherics. He Needed to get a Job offer as soon as possible, And Nanotransen Noticed This. Offering Him residence at The NTCC ODIN and a Job Offer for the Aurora. While he spent a lot on himself in the first couple of weeks with his suddenly much larger wages as an Apprentice. It never felt right, And each Email felt like a knife to him, Until he was Donating large portions of his Money on His Family and Buying himself the Cheapest Lunches Credits would Buy.

And while Some of his Siblings Made Things of Themselves. Others Didn't (The Hell is a Greaser and what is Dimo'chka doing with them?) and as a Result. Adrik feels Guilty about only sending Money to them. And has attempted to Re-integrate himself with the Others and get them Rooms on the Odin Because now These Gangs are Getting Goddamned backed by the Governments? Some Results have Been more Successful than others.

Adrik would be PRA Leaning most of the Time, He has a disdain for the "New Kingdom of Adhomai" as he heard the stories about how is People were Looked down upon Before the First Revolution. He has a Dislike for the DRPA, But he only Truly hates the Liberators.

What do you like about this character?: Adrik has a Large Investment outside the Aurora which I think would be very Fun to RP. He has made Mistakes and Still has Regrets.

How would you rate your role-playing ability?: 6-7/10 Alright. It could always be better

I am a bit confused about the NanoTrasen part, what job do you plan to play this character as in the station?

Also, I am kinda unsure how they would be really unaware of what the other factions are, getting information on them would be way easier outside of Adhomai due to the extranet and contact with members of it. Can you take this in consideration and expand a bit more Adrik's views on the sides?

(Sorry for the Late-ish Response I wanted to make sure I did this right)

Atmospheric Technician

New Kingdom: Adrik despises the caste system that means people would look down upon him and his family to him, it bars them from opportunity and leads to a spiral where they remain uneducated and unable to rise up, Which leads to contention with Rock-Nomads, who Adrik does view as Traitors and he vehemently denies the claims that all other Factions are illegitimate and that Bloodlines are somehow some indicator of Intelligence or Power and therefore thinks the New Kingdom is Doomed to repeat itself really, He thinks it's only a matter of time Until the Monarchy does something unwise that would upset their subjects or The Government and Military have a major disagreement leading to another revolution. He has also noticed that the Nobles don't have it that much better than the Common People despite the fancy titles. And He truly despises the House of Hamiyeh's Extortion Schemes and Protection Rackets mostly out of fear that one of his family members get involved and can't get out.

DPRA: Adrik's Hatred for the DRPA Began with stories of the Firing Squads and Loss of Supplies, and That of Dictator Nated, and as a Result Adrik has never lost that mentality, still viewing the DPRA as Insurgents first and a Political movement last, Which was furthered by the Nated Supremacist Movement, and Incredibly confused him when the Man himself stopped it. Even then the Juntas are the "True DRPA" According to Adrik. And while the removal of the caste system is a Noble goal, The PRA has already done that. and the Megacorporation are not threats to the Tajaran Freedom. that is Simply the DRPA trying to shift the blame and Despite the Revolutionary Ideals Adrik has noticed that plenty of prejudice is still thriving within the DPRA.

PRA: While not Perfect Adrik believes this is the best chance for Tajaran Reunification, Believing that their Technology, Prosperity and Stability is a sign of this, And Growing up on a small farm benefitting off the state means he had a very high view of the PRA Before he Left Adhomai. He thinks that they should tone down the level of Surveillance, but He would also argue that this was Necessary...for a time. Access to Biesel's Unrestricted Media allowed Adrik to see some of the More Authoritarian Practices that the Government decided to act upon, and as a result his Fervour for the PRA, While still there has dulled significantly. Most of his wages go to his Family to make sure they can Keep paying the Social Harmony Committee's Fees. Something he begrudgingly accepts he can do little about
