NeepBeep Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) BYOND Key: NeepBeep666 Character Names: Owen Quinn Species you are applying to play: Skrell What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Cyan, but I might change it later 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: First of all, because I think they're cool looking. I'll admit, that's a big reason. But the biggest reason I want to be a Skrell is because I love their backstory, even if I don't understand all of it yet. Their personality differences, their social media presence, even the way they show stress. All of it is so alien and unique, and I'd really love to be able to partake in it. Besides that, I think being a skrell would be a good way to get into the science side of the station Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: While a skrell and a human are both bipedal, thats just about all they share. Skrell have psionic powers, their personalities shift with the moon, everything about a skrell is alien to a human Character Name: Kwixiki L'Lompom Please provide a short backstory for this character- Born in the notoriously dangerous District 11 of Mendell city, Kwixi has had a rough life. He was born to one of the few Skrell families in the district, and had a few siblings and 2 parents that tried their best to care for them. Kwixi's oldest sibling, his sister, was kidnapped just after Kwixi's 7th birthday and his younger brother was killed by disease. Thus, Kwixi's mother and father became very strict on Kwixi. He wasn't allowed outside after 6, wasn't allowed to talk with anyone other than skrell (Because non-skrell were, quote, "Disgusting and disease riddled"), and he certainly wasn't allowed to bring anyone into their house. Because of this, Kwixi formed an extreme case of social ansiety that he's still working on today. However, Kwixi was able to find an outlet for himself- Social Media. Despite not being able to socialize with real people, Kwixi was still able to talk to those on Social Media. This also allowed Kwixi his first coversation with someone from outside the district- a man living on a space station, something Kwixi hadn't even known existed up until then. To Kwixi, space was his only way out of an untimely death, a way out from the gang violence and the dangers of Mendell City. But at only 11 years old, Kwixi was far too young to be hired by NanoTrasen for any reason. So Kwixi was stuck in district 11 for the foreseeable future. Kwixi's trouble was far from over, however. Kwixi was home when a band of Unathi criminals broke into their home. When they realized that Kwixi's family had less than they did, they decided not to leave any witnesses. They shot Kwixi, Kwixi's mother, and Kwixi's father that night. Kwixi was the only survivor, simply because the Unathi that shot him aimed too high and only shot off one of his head tentacles. At only 17, Kwixi was left to fend for himself. With no family to stop him, Kwixi decided to try Nanotraseon again. He lied about his age, and managed to get on board the next shuttle onto a station. What do you like about this character? Not only does the backstory for Kwixi give me a canon reason for why I don't know much about space stations and the lore, it also gives me a person who can reliably learn any job and let me learn the ins and outs of this server How would you rate your role-playing ability? I've been roleplaying on discord for a couple years, so I'd say slightly above average Notes: Edited August 18, 2021 by NeepBeep Link to comment
Caelphon Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Hi there. The Skrell Maintainer slot is unfilled, so I am acting as Deputy Loremaster in this capacity. While I admire your ability to weave a story, when looking at a whitelist application a maintainer needs to know that you've gone through the lore of the species. Just a quick glance shows that you've likely skimmed or havn't read it at all. I'd advise you go and read the following pages; https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Skrellhttps://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Skrell_Relationships https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Skrell_Culture https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Notable_Skrell_Systems_and_Locations https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Skrell_Faith https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Refugees Your newness to the server also leaves much to be desired in regards to your character. Nobody knows you sorta thing, so maybe stick around for a few weeks and interact with folks (ic and ooc) and we'll take it from there? This application is denied, you are free to reapply in two weeks. Link to comment
