BYOND Key: Dekser

Character Names: Zissan A'Asshan (asshat), Eddy James

Species you are applying to play: Dionae

What color do you plan on making your first alien character:

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

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: Dionae are weird. After my Unathi whitelist I met a few Dionae players and could not believe that I didn't notice how awesome they were before, I hopped on the wiki and instantly loved their lore. Especially how mysterious they are. They're even more alien than Vaurca and I'm very interested to see if I can try them out.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Humans are lame, sure they have speed and flesh n' stuff but Dionae can split off into separate Nymphs, can create objects with their biomass and eat radiation, mechanically and lore-wise it will drastically change RP

Character Name: Floats Among Shattered Machines

Please provide a short backstory for this character: Fifty or so years after Dionae were discovered, a cluster Nymphs were grown in isolation and kept in separate chambers. Tragically a meteor collided with the station of which they were being grown in. This impact caused major damage and killed the majority of the crew even breaching the isolation cells containing the Nymphs. Minutes after being exposed to the vacuum of space they managed to connect, forming an un-named gestalt. Among themselves, they agreed upon a similar mindset to a Harmonious Hymn, internally discussing amongst themselves before preforming a major action or speaking. Decades passed and they found themselves floating through space, collecting any biomass they could find while absorbing natural gases and radiation. Because of their space faring life style and how many scrapyards, broken vessels and ruins they had encountered. They decided to call themselves "Floats Among Shattered Machines". For two-hundred and fifty years they floated around with none but themselves, alone with each other and thus became very efficient at their system, discussing actions and solutions at times in under a second. For a very long time, they had not encountered any life since their Nymph stage but soon, they found themselves coming into contact with NTCC Odin, which changed their lives indefinitely.

Upon reaching the massive space station, they were greeted by patrol drones as well as a few exterior Engineers. Brought inside they attempted to speak with a few Humans, Skrell and even synthetics but were nearly unable to communicate at all having such limited fluency in Tau Ceti Basic. A year of learning speech, training and discussion passed with the outcome being that they were to board Aurora Station as a station Engineer in exchange for safety and a place to live. Because of their years of isolation, they are not very knowledgeable in the cultures of many even including their own kind. They do however enjoy learning of cultures and specifically find Unathi interesting. At this point they were approaching 255 years of being in the same gestalt and surprisingly had never split into several nymphs, they specifically have one nymph who is the explorer that leaves the gestalt when needed.

Order of the gestalt:
note that none of them had names in Tau Ceti basic prior to first contact

The Speaker: Known as "The One Who Speaks Poorly", this one often pauses or stops talking entirely. Due to their many years in isolation of any other living beings, they previously found no purpose in speaking and thus never assigned one to do so. Interestingly, when being taught speech by Dionae researchers on ODIN, this one was the one that listened, all other Nymphs lacked interest and left it to Speaks Poorly.

The Explorer: Known as "The One Who Explores Many Ventilation Ducts", while in space, they encountered many derelict stations, asteroids or scrapyards and did not want to risk the whole gestalt by moving inside, thus they sent out this one to explore and report any biomass or items of interest. Once they arrived on Aurora they gave this one a proper title.

The Manipulators: Known as No name in Tau Ceti Basic or Hand#1 and Hand#2, these two have been in their position for many years and excelled at picking up stuff. Nothing else interesting about these two.

The Motivators: Known as No name in Tau Ceti Basic otherwise Leg#1 and Leg#2, these ones are still new to their work, only being assigned as legs after the gestalt had first encountered gravity on ODIN. Because of this they often stumble or move even slower than a normal Dionae and are not very good at responding to emergencies.

Finally, The Idle: Known as No name in Tau Ceti Basic they are idle, waiting for a reason to exist and right now just help make choices on what to do with the gestalt.

What do you like about this character?: Floats Among Shattered Machines even for a Dionae has very individual Nymphs, each one having it's own unique personality. They also very rarely split into nymphs as they are pretty comfortable staying in the gestalt they have been a part of for over two and a half centuries. (however I will probably be testing and playing with the mechanics for my first few rounds)

How would you rate your role-playing ability?: Solid 8/10, not the best and not the worst but think I have improved.

Notes: I made some minor changes from my last app.
