BruhMan69's IPC Application

[BruhMan69]

BYOND Key: BruhMan69

Character Names:  Eno Meril, George Forn, and Julius Carme (I used to play this guy the most)

Species you are applying to play: IPC

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

Have you read our lore sections page on this species?: Yes

Why do you wish to play this specific race: I find IPCs to be a very interesting race, plus Ive always enjoyed playing robots in games so it probably has to do with that. I also find it interesting how they are only capable of retaining how to do one or two jobs due to their computer memory limitations. I also enjoy how they have their own personalities and are both human and robot like, like how they try to act like humans and such. The factions also seem to be really interesting, id like to eventually make a character who is part of the Golden Deep. And lastly I just really enjoy their background and how they are kind of new tech(I think it was early 2400s so still kind of new).

Identify what makes roleplaying this species different than roleplaying a Human: Well first off being a robot clearly, this allows for some more diverse personalities, like how they could acquire their own peculiar speech habits, which humans could too I guess but with IPCs its more varied if you understand. I also find it interesting how they are in some cases forced to work in places that are dangerous, instead of humans since they are less valued than them. Also they have varied ways they deal with "self preservation" like how it said some may try to gain wealth, and another may run away to an occupation it wasnt made for. I enjoy how they think very rationally with the cause and effect mind set and are rarely irrational, and are very analytical. This really makes them seem machine like, which i enjoy. I also like how they are widely discriminated against and not thought of as "living" even though they can think and have emotions. I also think the adopting accent thing is good due to the fact it helps make every IPC more unique..

Character Name: Screw

Please provide a short backstory for this character: Screw is a Baseline IPC with a classic tv head. Screw was bought by nanotrasen and it serves as a Cargo Technician. Screw is quite young, they are 3 years old.  Screw is working to pay off its debt to nanotrasen so it may become free and do what it wants. Its skills include object management, sorting, and delivery. It was originally owned by a small company known as Clines Delivery Services, where it would drive small vehicles and deliver things around the city, it was based in Los Angeles on Earth. But 2 months ago it was sold to nanotrasen with some other IPCs that are now employed there. Screw is enjoying the atmosphere of the new job in space, they wish to make many friends up here. Screw had primarily IPC friends in Sol, they were treated harshly in comparison to the humans, they lived in cheap small slightly larger than closet sized apartments. Screw has enjoyed the (mostly) friendlier humans and other species he has encountered in the workplace. Screw currently lives in district Eleven in Mendell City. It has a larger apartment than it did previously, although it still is small, at least it has more than one room. Their friend Arp, an IPC, moved with it and Screw supports Arp and lets him live in his home, although he is encouraging Arp to get a job. His home is not in the best condition although it is livable and protects from the elements. Luckily for Screw the rent is quite inexpensive. Screw is enjoying Biesel more than Sol due to the better living quarters and less discrimination. In their three years Screw has learned a few things that are outside of its programming, it had developed a liking of photography, music, and even picked up on some fighting skills due to living in the shittier parts of Earth and Mendell City. Screw has had the misfortune of witnessing murder, which it does not enjoy, and tries to avoid death. Screw wishes to make friends because it thinks that the humans it works with are less discriminatory against it than the ones it is used to being around.

So generally speaking, Screw is enjoying life more now than it was for the past 3 or so years, due to friendlier people and bigger housing(although still small).
Screw will talk in a format like this {Emotion: Statement} an example being {Questioning: What do you require?}, or {Worried: Put the gun down.}. 

What do you like about this character? I think it would be very fun to try to learn new things as screw and speak in the odd way above. Plus I intend to keep track of the money Screw makes so i can eventually pay off my debt and approach the captain or HoP about it. Plus I havent played very much cargo tech and think it could be a lot of fun, also Ive always enjoyed IPCs as a whole and think they would be a lot of fun to play.

How would you rate your roleplaying ability? Probably 5 to 8ish, Im better when I know most of the lore, so like as an example I play ttrpgs a lot and I read entire books to learn about the backgrounds and stuff. Its slightly harder on a wiki in my opinion, I still enjoy reading random things I stumble upon though

Notes: Shells are cool but I dont personally think I would find them fun to play, so I probably wont, just a side note.

Hi! Thanks for applying! I have some questions for the application.

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

Could you expand more on this section? How IPCs think, how they behave, how they adopt accents, etc. Could you also talk about how IPCs are treated?

Please provide a short backstory for this character:

Can you provide another paragraph for this section? Could you talk about Screw's personality, where they currently live, how it behaves, and other facts about its life?

Quote

Screw is quite young, they are 3 years old.

3 years is a lot of time for an IPC, how did three years of life affect it? How is it handling the transition from Sol to Biesel?

Quote

Screw is enjoying their new job in space, they wish to make many friends up here.

Why is Screw enjoying their job and why do they wish to make friends?
