Melariara Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) BYOND Key: Melariara Character Names: Spoiler Species you are applying to play: Vaurca What color do you plan on making your first alien character: I can tell you the exact colour code: 130, 150, 20 (Vedhra's hive) (I know this off by heart now on god.) Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Hyezz 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: Honestly, I would very much like to play a Ta when I gain more confidence in playing a Vaurca, in the long run. I enjoy the thought of walking around as a ten foot tall talking bug that is extremely good at talking but terrifies others. Until I am more confident in my views of expressing an important character as a consular officer, I will practice, essentially, with other vaurca roles. I will be starting with a vaurca officer (bugge) in order to gain the confidence I need in both that department and playing a vaurca as a whole. In a weird way they're also adorable, in a childish way in how they behave around other races sometimes. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The fact they don't really have a great understanding, at least the non-Ta's, of emotions and just general humanity, as well as being used to all shittery as a bound is definitely going to be vastly different to what I normally play. The vaurca I've seen and interacted with on station are different to humans and sometimes seem to struggle to communicate with anyone else. Character Name: Za'Akaix'Yiltz K'lax Please provide a short backstory for this character Za'Akaix'Yiltz K'lax is a Unbound Warrior of Ta'Akaix'Vedhra'rept'ylanze K'lax. They were created and shaped for the purpose of helping hunt down and destroy Lii'dra. Yiltz started off in VR, learning their trade for three years before coming out, briefly being assigned to a Hopeful in the Kataphract chapter, learning the ways of honor and the two sides of Unathi religion (but keeping to their own, Preimmence,) and gaining a fondness for the hegemony energy blade, training whenever they could with it and maintaining a good contact with unathi, making a few friends along the way. They likely would not have tried to tell any of the unathi about their own religion, just because they would have known that unathi are rather sensitive when it comes to it, but definitely would have mentioned it should the topic ever come up. They stayed with the chapterhouse for a year or two until their queen bid them move to Tau Ceti space with other vaurca. They're not quite sure on what to make of humans yet, but they're not too impressed by them, having had a few racist remarks directed at them. Their opinion on Miranda Trasen is that she's just another queen to follow, mainly due to politics and making sure their own queen continues to look good. Politics! What do you like about this character? I'm genuinely excited to play something different that's able to communicate and essentially "smell" stuff from fellow bugges, and I also love that I'll be able to spawn in choccy milk. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Like, 7 or a 8 I hope. Notes: Thank you for Rooster for putting up with my fifty questions and stupid jokes during this, and to the fifty people I prodded to check this out. Edited January 2, 2022 by Melariara Fucking idiot forgot to put her characters in didn't she?
Gr33d Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 Mel is a wonderful roleplayer and someone I personally would love to see join the ever expanding bug squad! +1
Kaizr Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 Mel + Bug = Based? Jokes aside, very cool person, probably has infinite brownie points, amazing RPer and definitely deserving of a WL. However, the backstory does seem to be a bit lacking though, doesn't really feel like it touches on who the character is or why they were chosen to do any o' this. But, I don't have a bug WL, so maybe it's perfect. +1 from me anywaaaaays!
whitewolftamer Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 I've genuinely enjoyed interacting with a lot of characters on their list (Most of which I didnt even know were Mel 💀) Phat ol +1 from me
Desven Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Hi, sorry for the delay. I'm mainly interested in Yiltz opinions of Unathi, and, of course, Dionae.

Yiltz is very respectful of Unathi honor due to the time spent serving as a Hopeful, and is aware of their traditions involving many things as a result. Yiltz would 100% be more open to an unathi than a dionae for example, due to having spent more time around unathi over dionae, but would not be bothered by dionae unless told to be, essentially.
CourierBravo Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Loving it! Out of curiosity, how do you think they'll acclimate? The change from the "honor makes right, we do what we must" culture around kataphracts, to the much more laissez faire "you are responsible for your own destiny, and little about an action truly matters if it advanced your social or financial position" attitudes found in the republic?

Honestly, that's going to be the joy of playing Yiltz, I think. Going from "Mom says do thizzz, (this being a kataphact)" to being a mall cop on a space station is going to be a super interesting experience, likely shaped by those around them. I, the player, am one hundred percent expecting Yiltz to get slapped with racism at some point, and Yiltz to be like "Ok" but yeah, I'm going to enjoy how playing them shapes them.
Roostercat Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Known Mel for a while, and I know they are a fantastic roleplayer. Also satisfied with the backstory and answers to questions. App Accepted.
