[Accepted] Local newbie wants to play as a scary bug | Vaurca application

[ErshOurHerzog]

BYOND Key: Ershovdi

Character Names: 

- Thadeus Proteus, an average Biesel citizen who decided to become an investigator.
- V1-X451, an average overprotective robot.

Species you are applying to play: Vaurca!

What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Light blue, (RGB 150, 180, 255), Mouv hive. I'm a Skrell lover as well.

Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes, 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: 
Vaurca seem to me like a complex yet easy to understand race. For me they're like a gateway to all the other races that I want to play as in a future. Their social system is simple and deep, it gives the player a power to create something truly unique and interesting in a way that doesn't require a lot of roleplay experience. Ka Type (the workers) vaurcas are the most flexible for a new player like me, and I've seen a Bound heavily-augmented vaurca who got me like: "Wow, I wanna do something like that too!" Also, I love bugs *a little too much*.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:
Well, for me the thing that makes roleplaying as Vaurca different is their life-cycle. They are being born with a pre-destined future, a plan of some kind. They are being created just for their Queen to do a small variety of tasks, almost like synthetics. Vaurcas' life is very different from other species life, even without Virtual Reality. That's why it's hard for them to integrate in any other societies and envirnoments besides their hive - they don't even really understand the concept of freedom. 

Character Name: Ka'Akaix'Sotis C'thur

Please provide a short backstory for this character 
Ka'Akaix'Sotis C'thur is an Unbound Vaurca who came out of C'thur's hive. His lesser queen was Ta’Akaix’Mouv’lek’tanta C'thur, the Recondite Queen. Sotis was created to help their Queen to gather valuable information. At their time in Virtual Reality they showed their talent of navigating trough immense amounts of data from the Hivenet. They were interested in information of any kind, even the most useless, but deep pieces of data were caught by Sotis. After being in their Queen's realm for one year Sotis was destined to become a data-hunter in the real world. They showed great communication abilities because of their confidence in the things they say, while not understanding the social aspect of life. That's why they don't pay attention to racism - they don't really understand what that is.

After Queen's decision to expand to the other planets of Jargon Federation, Sotis was one of the few who got sent in the Tau Ceti space. They are "afraid" of the new envirnoment, and will be one of the most careful Vaurcas in human space. Anyhow, Sotis is enjoying worshipping his Queen, because it is her who gave them the gift of life, and this belief makes him going. As for now, they're trying to stick to the Skrells while looking at other species with mild apprehension. 

What do you like about this character? 
The thing I like about Sotis is their curiosity in everything new they see, much like Diona. I will be able to be an annyoing, buzzing bug that asks stupid questions while not being too stupid. 

How would you rate your role-playing ability?
I wouldn't say I'm a great roleplayer. I didn't participate in any *real* HRP games, but I have an understanding what's a good roleplay experience is. Overall... Eh, 6 out of 10. I'm just an average Joe, realy.

Notes: I am not a fluent English speaker so there might be some mistakes.

Hey, thanks for applying. I like your enthusiasm and will ask a few questions just to expand on the character.

1. What job would Sotis take?

2. What does Sotis think about Skrell? How much did it interact with them before leaving the Federation?

3. Does Sotis follow a religion?

4. What are its thoughts on the other hives, especially after what happened with the whole Bulwark ordeal?

Thanks for the reply.

They will probably be a lab assistant for some time, then try to get to the position of a scientist - a perfect job to unravel the deep secrets of Tau Ceti.

2. What does Sotis think about Skrell? How much did it interact with them before leaving the Federation?

Being from Jargon Federation's planet Diulszi, Sotis didn't see skrells on the planete as much as he saw his Vaurca comrades, but every interaction with skrells was pleasant. Sotis knows that C'thur hive can compete with other hives only because of skrellian help, and they appreciate it. If Sotis wanted to find some friends from aliens, it would choose the Skrell.

3. Does Sotis follow a religion?

I would say he is a follower of Classic (or natural) Hive Pantheon. It's hive is sort of an outsider in the political world of Vaurca and Sotis rejected the Modern Pantheon mostly because they want to stick with the C'thur hive without any pressure from other hives, especially Zo'ra. Sotis sees it's Queens like some sorts of Gods. In the end, Queens gave life to vaurcas, and they should repay them with good work.

4. What are its thoughts on the other hives, especially after what happened with the whole Bulwark ordeal?

Sotis is a young Vaurca, but it saw the news. Being from C'thur hive, it thought it was unfair. All of the hives have more support from humans than C'thur and the last year probably was the worst year in C'thur hive history. The mystery of the genetic code original creators is still a mystery, but Sotis wants to believe that the C'thur hive and Skrell are right, yet it can't believe that Zo'ra hive could make such an aggressive move. Looking at the recent act of violence in Flagsdale, Sotis suspects the Zo'ra hive being the mastermind behind all this drama. Sotis is, however, more neutral to the K'lax hive, because C'thur hive and K'lax hive are not so different in the shadow of Zo'ra.
