Species you are applying to play: IPC What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Exempted (IPC) 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 want to play as an IPC because I like the concept of humanoid, human-like robot that exist alongside with human in general. Their places in society also varies from place to place within human's space which would probably give them unique rp interaction with diffrent characters of different origins. Their unique gameplay mechanic like requiring charging instead of food and drinks, different xenowears, etc. also a major factor that drawn me to making IPC application(s). Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The fact that they are Positronic brains and mechanical which make them decide things logically based on the causes and effects which make them largely different in terms of decision making and how they would approach their jobs or other situations. In term of social interaction, there would also be different in varying degree based on the background of the IPC like a free IPC from Konyang would probably be more natural with human due to their natural status in Konyang society while an owned coporate Eridani IPC would be strictly professional, polite and corporate-ish. Their behaviour would also be largely depends on their age and purpose as they learns from experiences and their environments. A "young" months old industrial IPC would be quite robotic and, socially, a toaster while a five years old Bishop-made bartender would be eloquent and probably even more fluent in socialising than some bio-people. Character Name: Zim Please provide a short backstory for this character: Zim (AZIM-55-23, "Azim" is a common muslim name which mean something likes "protector") is a free IPC from Elyra. He is assembled and activated in 2455 in accordance to that year quota of IPC citizen with underlying purpose of filling in the need for manpower of the republic's army. He initially lived among the "Assimilationist" IPCs on Persepolis which ingrain him with "Elyranism" and patriotism. He joined the Elyran Army in late 2455 where he was assigned to Busra which means he fought in the Lii'dra incursion in 2457. His contract with Elyran Army later that year where he decided not to renew as he belive the "compensation" for his participation in the defense of Busra unfair when compared to the promotions and awards given to his human counterparts who participated in battles. Although expected, he is disappointed with how the state treated him. Zim moved to New Suez afterward and work there for the port authority as a security personel in New Hormuz. The diversity of the Free Trade Zone expose Zim to the cultures and characters of the rest of the Spur. The most important he notices while living in New Hormuz is how the IPCs and human, both Elyran and migrants, interact with each other in a more natural way. It doesn't take long for Zim to get used to the new environment. Working at the ports, Zim makes a number of new friends, many of which were migrant workers from the Coalition. He is content with his life there for a while. Then, the Phoron Crisis happens. As number of cargo passing through the ports of New Hormuz decrease, his salary stagnated. The cost of living also starts to get more expensive. Zim contemplates finding a better paying job, but there is not many paying job for an ex-military IPC in Elyra. He then looks further to the neighbouring states like the CoC. Then as the Sol Alliance further collapse in 2462 and the various PMCs are on a hiring sprees as the demand for such service increased, Zim decided to travel to the CoC. Given his experience in the Lii'dra incursion and previous job as a security personel, he managed to get a job with the Xanu Defense Service along with the Xanu Free League citizenship in 2463. Initially he has been assigned to works on short-term security jobs on cargo haulers or occasionally some vip vessels. As Zim starts to get used to the frequent travels that come with his jobs he starts to take interest in it. He sees travelling around the coalition as an oppurtunity to learn and experience new things. Then as the SCCV Horizon is scheduled for launch. Zim found himself on the list of staff XDS sending to station on the vessel. He is completely fine with that and perhaps even looking foward to it. What do you like about this character? I think a Free citizen IPC from Elyra is an interesting subject so I decides to make one although, this one maybe a bit less Elyran-ish due to their experience mostly confined to military base of Busra and works on the international port of New Suez. If anything Zim would be considered a jaded "Assimilationist" who no longer belive that it is really possible to fully integrates into the mainstream Elyran society. Also, I haven't seen many IPC from Elyra on the Horizon so Zim could, probably, be an interesting addition. How would you rate your role-playing ability? In a scale I would rate myself at 7/10. I feel like I have improved a lot since starting playing on Aurora regularly around a month ago. But I still have difficulity coming up with a nice gimmick or interesting story as traitors or antags in general. I belive that my roleplay ability is improving and I find it easier to learns about parts of the lore if I play a character with related origins. Note: I am sorry for editing this application a lot. I hope this time the story is more grounded and adequate. Edited May 22, 2022 by The lancer Big revision of Character backstory. Should be much more grounded now. Link to comment
