BYOND Key: wheasymold552

Character Names: Evie Dennis, Qerros Jia’Meyk, Xiuying San-Khol

Species you are applying to play: Diona

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

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: I really feel like Diona add an interesting twist that the other races fail to meet. They’re exceedingly philosophical which I think will be an amazing way to get started rping religion for the first time on the Aurora. They have really interesting mechanics, having to manage their biomass and their light exposure rather than food and water.

(One paragraph minimum)

 

Identify what makes role-playing this species different from role-playing a Human: I’d say the largest difference between a human and a diona in terms of how you go about rping them is their psyche. Diona are much more docile creatures, thinking down on unnecessary violence and they generally speaking have a much more philosophical way of viewing things. Another huge difference on a more physical level would be their

Character Name:

Follower of the Eternal, Disciple of Light, Energy and Essence

 

Please provide a short backstory for this character:(I’ll be using Follower just as a shortened abbreviation of my character's name to save this from getting too long.)The original nymph that started Follower’s journey down the path of The Eternal was grown by a biology lab in Mendell University, year 2429 (making them 34) where they stayed for 2 years accruing DNA and knowledge from the students as they were studied. During this time they accrued biomass allowing for their form to take shape becoming a cerberus. Upon the unveiling of Unveiling of the Eternal Temple in Mendell, date 2441, it was decided by the class to release the small gestalt, allowing them to stay around other gestalts of varying sizes in the temple where the young gestalt learned much about philosophy and the eternal cycle. It was here that they accumulated more nymphs into their mass, absorbing the occasional inspired nymph and even growing a few nymphs of their own. It was here that they grew into their Cyclops form and adopted the name Follower of the Eternal, Disciple of Light, Energy and Essence. After 32 years of study and devotion, not only to their temple but to understanding the deeper meanings of Light, Essence, and Energy, they deemed themselves ready to take on the world, accepting an offer from the Aurora as a sort of priest representing the eternal. Moving on from Mendel Follower set forth into the next chapter of their life, vying to spread the word of the eternal and help where they can, looking to help the residents on the station through their issues and potentially recruiting them for their cause. 

 

(Approximately two paragraphs)

 

What do you like about this character?: I really like their cause/purpose in life. I think their religion and their views and interactions with other characters on the station will be really interesting and it will be enjoyable to help talk other characters through the troubles that plague their minds. 

(Describe what you like about this character)

 

How would you rate your role-playing ability? I’d rate my roleplaying ability at a 6 or 7 as there’s always room for improvement and I’m learning new skills etc everyday.

 

Notes: This gestalt has the Emphatic Echo mind type.

Emphatic Echo

These are a unique gestalt that have formed more in the modern era of Dionae xenos relations. What makes them particularly interesting to the observer is near to all of the nymphs are social nymphs, with expertly trained skills in specific areas of social nuance. This gives them an almost eerie essence when they pick up even your most subtle facial movements and deduce your emotional state. They are renowned for their social skills and patience, however due to the quantity of social nymphs are quite incapable of complex physical tasks. (This mind type is restricted to, Liaison/Rep, Psychologist(includes alt titles), Investigator, Chaplain, Librarian and visitor.)

OH MY GOSH I MIXED UP THE 4 AND THE 6 IN WHAT ALL THE DATES WERE I MAY OR MAY NOT BE VERY DUMB. P.S. Thanks Mel for catching this and bringing it to my attention

Wheasy does a great job playing Evie and as of late Xiuying. I think they could make a great Diona given the good level of detail they go into on their other characters if they take some time to flesh it out.

+1 from me at this point. I'd like to see another Diona player too.

I do think you might need a little more meat in this app though Wheasy, but good luck regardless!

[wheasymold552]

I admit backstory could be longer. Tbh I wrote it on my phone and it looked way longer there than it does on computer RIP

I've interacted with Evie, and Qeross. Starting with Evie, oh, my, goodness. Evie is such an amazing character, every time i've interacted with them they seem to be a real, live person (figures a real live person plays the game (you know what I mean)) Wheasy does an excellent job of breathing life into their characters and making them feel real. Qeross is painfully pink but done well, I've enjoyed most every opportunity with Wheasy I've had. +1

Hi, sorry for taking a lilbit to ask this, team has a few questions:

What type of mindtype are they?

How do they feel about the other branches of the Eternal? IE the blood eternal and iron eternal

How do they feel about other species?

Why work on the Aurora/a space station and not elsewhere?

[wheasymold552]

What type of mindtype are they?

Sorry about this one, I had it in notes since I didn't really know how to include in the actual backstory portion of the application. They have the Emphatic Echo mindtype.

How do they feel about the other branches of the Eternal? IE the blood eternal and iron eternal

Follower of the Eternal, Disciple of Light, Energy and Essence doesn’t necessarily hate these other groups. They feel as though their way of worship is the correct way of worship but that doesn’t mean that they hate the individual. They’ll treat these followers of other religions just the same as they would the followers of religions such as christianity etc. Growing up in mendel exposed them to a lot of different types of people and as a consequence of this they’re very open to other’s views.

How do they feel about other species?

Having not only grown up in mendel but growing up in a university at that, I'm certain they've been exposed to numerous species. They think fairly not judging anyone by their species but by the virtue of their character. Things like honesty and loyalty are what they look for the most to be extra specific.

Why work on the Aurora/a space station and not elsewhere?

I suppose my best answer I can give for this as I admit it, haven't given it much thought, is that and this is both from an OOC standpoint as well as an IC standpoint. There's one, almost no religious figures on the Aurora which means that Follower of the Eternal, Disciple of Light, Energy and Essence will be filling a void, rather than replacing anybody. They feel as though they'll be able to solve issues etc as there's not many others doing this.

Sorry for the delay with this! Your answers are fairly reasonable, so after some discussion we've decided to accept you app
