Species you are applying to play: Vaurca

 

What color do you plan on making your first alien character: (RGB 91, 31, 0)

 

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

 

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 way that Vaurca interacts with the universe seems much more alien than most, the structure of their society and caste system adds a lot of depth within character to character interaction with other vaurca or other aliens. The influence a hive can have is also quite alluring to me, with how the hive crafts their spawn through bioengineering and the influence the hives ideologies have on development, having micro philosophies within their hives due to high/lesser queen influence allowing for interesting ideological discussions of how to best forward the progress of their brood within even the same hive. all this and wishing to play a more lore focused character that interacts differently then most 

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

 Much of the way that vaurca are even brought into this world are vastly different with the species being formed towards what is needed before even birth, leading to many of them having distinctive roles and interactions with the worlds due to how the hive/queen deems ineeded this can lead to differing ideologies, personalities and specialisation due to how they are brought up within their queens group. These run into two distinctive groups of vaurca with 4 different specializations within that cluster but the part that largely changes the interaction with others are the two groups being Unbound and bound.

The unbound are ones that are hearing, feeling, and thinking creatures that are seen as higher than their bound counterparts being seen as the upper caste within their society, these vaurca while in their early years are placed into their hives VR network, being a library of information of Vaurce of past and present, allowing a safe comfortable environment to learn and spend their lives, before being taken out to help the hive in its current endeavors, though disconnected they may still access the Hive Network in which all unbound can connect too in which they can share their knowledge and feelings within.                            

they bound on the other hand lack are practically forcibly underdeveloped, not being given the brain capacity to think much for themselves outside of the orders issued onto them, and underdeveloped with internal organs for the better accompaniment of the implants they shall receive upon birth. Many of these bound are subjugated to becoming underlings for unbound .

This all then being sperated towards one of the 4 specializations with most falling under either a worker (Ka) a warrior (Za) or a breeder (TA) and more rarely the Cephalon who tend to act more like a bio engineered machine to be used to house the large virtual realities

this all allows for unique role-play due to the structure as to how they interact with different topics and interspecies relationship depending on how they where developed.

 

Character Name: Ka'Akaix'Kack Zo'ra

 

Please provide a short backstory for this character:

Kack was like many other workers vaurca under Xakt before them, their early developmental years being spent within VR like many other Vaurca before them. They took solace within the vast landscape that their queen Xaht had the pleasure of providing them, seeing such a large open area may be off-putting to some, but this only drove their thirst for knowledge as They was blessed with a workshop and just needed to find ways of filling it with glory. Kack grew an unnatural fascination with the inner workings of how many vehicles and their assembly to that point, spending days on end sometimes attempting to craft great works of mechanical art within the confines of this scarce virtual space, this is the thing that drew them so heavily to begin study under the mind of Za'akaix'cimm zo'ra. Much of their time working under Za'akaix'cimm zo'ra was not one Kack looks back on fondly, being pushed to their breaking point many times due to Cimm ill-temper towards their often unworking creations, but Kack pushed on deeming it to be a worthwhile endeavor to best support their fellow hive members and gain knowledge to one day craft a mighty work of their own. Kack turned out all the better for pushing on, finding an obsession with the differing power methods that many of these theoretical machines may have and the different ways the same machine can have completely different powering methods with vastly different effects. Although feeling as though They only scratched the surface of the knowledge that could be gained from this vast landscape, their time for study was over as They must now undergo the work needed by their hive and must enter the next chapter of their life.

 

The next chapter wasn't nearly as pleasant as their life within the virtual reality, being forceable pushed into the workforce with haste, due to the added demand of resources within the Vaurca that came about by the initially mass immigration off of Titan Prime. To best support, their species in getting any sort of foothold in the galaxy Kack was pushed into the NanoTrasen job market. Hoping to give as much of a helping hand to their hive and wishing to assist in returning it to its former glory they gladly accepts, allowing themself to be placed within any area in which they are needed, working diligently to best secure a hopeful foothold in regards to NanoTrasen relations and the Vaurce. This while being a goal that may forever be in vain ultimately pushes towards the betterment of their kind, if not to just be recognized by the queen and for her to guide them pleasantly into the aether, so they may one day have such a project to even wow the queen herself. Through this pursuit they has come to think lesser of some vaurca that fall under the K'lax hive, this wish to contend with the position of the Zo'ra hives seem to run antithetical to their goals to bring the vaurca back to former glory. They seem to be striving towards taking independence while their hive is weak leading to what they thinks will lead to the destruction of both, with nothing to be gained at the end of the conflict.

 

They had a somewhat sheltered view of many aliens, with much of this information being pieced together from conversations with fellow Vaurca and other workforce employees who are willing to even interact with them through the thick buzzing within their speach and possessing a implant that only allows for the use of Tau Ceti Basic. This can be seen in their view on factions such as those from the Izweski Hegemony, viewing them as possibly having ties to the joint effort of certain K'lax hive members to help gain independence, possibly for the reason of subjugating more vaurca to a low pay labor force, and the use of their species ancient technology and while they doesn't think that many working within or under the Izweski banner are all conspiring to do such a thing, seeing many of them as merely ignorant of the true situation while their higher-ups control them. They has an equally sheltered view of the jargon alliance and their relationship with C'thur, viewing what they are doing as the assimilation of their people to acquire much of their equipment and manpower through a more peaceful but equally destructive means, also viewing C'thur as ones who think they are in control of much which what they do while thinking they have to chance to seize more power than all through political negotiations, but is merely being played to better how their resources stripped of them, due to this they sees many working within the political sphere of the jargon alliance to be swindlers that use others for their gains.

 

Kack has been working for about five years within NanoTrasen operated stations within the Republic of Biesel, primarily helping with the maintenance of common mining vehicles, upkeep on electrical maintenance, or helping with overlooking small departments of bound workforces. This has soured Kack on NanoTrasen, firstly with the negligent displacement of their people relegating them to such low forms of action within the workplace and secondly the inability to allow kack to push towards a greater position, but through it all, they know their standing within NanoTrasen is the best way in helping their people in the way of relations and income. Fortunately for Kack NanoTrasen has allowed a transfer towards a more illustrious workplace, aboard the NSS Aurora. Due to their new location of deployment and the much higher degree of work they is expected to undertake within the station they will be under the watchful eye of the company staff and be relegated to a mere apprentice until proven worthy through an Avowal of Responsibility. Kack took the opportunity instantly, knowing that they will be able to show many within the station the true strength of hiring their mighty species and maybe one day after it all be safely laid to rest within the aether knowing that they has served their queen proud.

 

What do you like about this character? generally being a goal-orientated person that wishes to pursue the glory of their one station species at all cost, this leads them to having sometimes warped and simplistic views on others due to having tunnel vision on bettering their people leading to what seems to me as interesting lore interaction with others. Being somewhat of an underdog within their workplace, having to strive for excellence within their workplace to even be allowed a spot within the official engineers of the station drives a lot of shifts to feel like a pursuit of a meaningful goal, whether in attempting to gain a social foothold within the group or showing their techniques they developed and their implementation of them.

 

How would you rate your role-playing ability? I think I do alright like 7/10 as most will probly put it, I could tend to be faster at typing to better quickly convey speech back and forth, but I feel I often go out of my way to attempt to meaningfully interact with others, even if such a person is outside of the usual people that I would be interacting with.

All in all a good app, and from what you've written - to me - you appear to understand the overall nature of Vaurcae. A few questions from me:
 

1) From what you've written here I assume that Kack will be an assistant, if so what department will you place them in if they are able to gain their avowal?

2) say Kack is seated in the bar and one of the other patrons starts to get a little violent, turning their attention to the Vaurca in question. How would Kack respond to this?

Kack would assist within the engineering department until found fit to be apart of the team as a offical station engineer. This is for the purpose of possibly better understanding other species equipment and mechanisms so that one day when they return to the Aether and they have time to truly make their works, they may be considered to have a project that Xaht'yagz'isk might gaze upon, such a work that may be equal or surpass a K'lax like machine, one that would push them ever closer to being on the same footing as many of the other species.

Kack would immediately attempt to decelerate such a situation, willing to say kind words in an attempt to stop such aggression seen towards them. They are willing to claim they are wrong or spoke out of line if to better pacify the situation. they see no point in attempting to prove to this lone bar patron that they are correct in such an escalating argument And finds great fear in the thought of seeing or smelling the blood that may spill during this conflict, leading them to want to reach a non-violent resolution as quickly as possible. This fear would be heightened exponentially more if such a patron was a Tajara. Kack has heard from fellow Vaurca that some Tarjara have been prosecuting some Vaurca for other hives' misdeeds, leading him to potentially attempting to leave the scene as quickly as possibly.
