Lilly Evans Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Foreword - I am always open to correction, guidance, and education. IF there is anything in here that needs to be expanded upon or fixed, please let me know! I will respond with an answer and try to bring this character further into line! Feel free to give your input and insight, I hope to see you all on team Fuzzball soon! BYOND Key: Shajo Character Names: Hiyin Qwll, Kusai Riori, Marin O'Neill, Task, The AI formerly known as PALADIN. Species you are applying to play: Tajara What color do you plan on making your first alien character: (Color of your character; Dionaea & IPCs exempt) : Calico if I can get the game to cooperate with that idea (Hharar) Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: I have! Gosh it was a lot but it was a wonderful read! 7/5 would read again. And probably will have to! Always want to make sure I'm on point for my lore! 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: (One paragraph minimum) I'll give you the joke answer first: KHAJIIT IN SPAAAAACE! Moving on! I've always loved the idea of Tajara, from their manner of speech to the unique way their culture has evolved and split into so many subsections. Let alone the trials they face amongst alien races and trying to keep out of trouble with their own governments! It's like the Soviet Union met the IRA met the.. I don't have a good comparison on hand for the New Kingdom of Adhomai. I want to be able to explore the mindset of a person who came from the harsh world they live on and how they struggle to find their place in the galaxy. Who they are, where they come from, how they view and interact with other species, and in the end how they finally find where they belong. I also love that they look like giant felines. As a player of Khajiit, I wish them warm sands. It's just something I've always enjoyed playing when available! Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: (One Paragraph minimum) Modern humans have had an extensive amount of time to evolve and make cultural and scientific progress, where as the Tajara became stunted in both of these regards due to the green of the nobility of Adhomai. Where as Humans might expect to be granted the rights of privacy and freedom of speech, a Tajara has grown up without these rights and often adopts a more reserved approach to life. Tajara face more galactic scrutiny and racism than humans as well, being viewed as 'intellectually and culturally inferior' to many peoples of the cosmos. They are also a people of strong oral storytelling/song traditions along with theater and performance arts, relying less on books (Until recent years) to share stories and information and instead using word of mouth to teach. They are often less educated as well. Character Name:(Character name) Mrro'Zardynh Vidarii Please provide a short backstory for this character (Approximately two paragraphs) Born in 2444, Mrro'Zardynh was raised in a modest sized city within the domain of the Peoples Republic of Adhomai. Raised in a family of four children, of which she was the second youngest, life for her was one filled with joy from playing with her siblings and a curiosity at the wider galaxy. With NanoTrasen integrating its operations upon Adhomai, Mrro was given an opportunity denied her parents: A chance to obtain a proper education. A gifted child, she found a great love for learning and would often try to scrounge up small scrap parts to tinker with. She even managed a few small creations, very simple things that helped with small problems she found as a youth. When she was seven years old her Father left the planet with her two eldest siblings, just after President Hadii was assassinated and his brother took over, on a contract with NanoTrasen as miners. Leaving the young Tajara with her mother at home and her youngest sibling, they struggled to make ends meet as no credits arrived from their family to assist. The reason was simple: Their brothers were too far away to access banking systems to make transfers and their father had died in an accident on the mines. Grieving the loss of her family, she took to her education with an almost obsessive interest. She flourished in mathematics and structural engineering, eventually finding her place within the Hadii Institute of Orbital Research for a degree in Engineering. Blessed with a chance to take part in an exchange program with Tau Ceti, she took her first steps onto a foreign planet when she was nineteen years old.. And fell in love with the strange, alien world about her. She finished her education at the age of twenty two and took a contract with Zavodskoi instead of the traditional NanoTrasen that her people usually went to. This was due to the loss of her father under the employ of NanoTrasen. Taking life into her own hands and seeking better for herself, she left Adhomai and moved closer to a district where her employer actively had an office: Mendell City. Along with being contracted to the SCC Horizon as an Engineering Apprentice, she also has taken to earning her citizenship through service in the TCFL as part of their engineering core. What do you like about this character? (Describe what you like about this character) I love the idea of someone coming from a society they love, but realize the inherent flaws of, and leaving to try and find a better life for themselves in any way they are able. They are a driven and determined young woman who managed a decent education and has the drive to continue to learn and attend college to better herself while working her jobs. Also space cat. I love space cat. I think it will be fun interacting with other Tajara on the Horizon and finding out how she TRULY feels about those darn terrorists in the other governments of Adhomai she encounters. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Pretty darn good! I think most people who have played with me can attest that I can stick to my job duties and provide decent rp! Who doesn't love Task?! Notes: Religion: S'rand'marr. She's not a dedicated, scripture reciting sort. But it's comforting to believe in something. It keeps you going when you're at your lowest. PRA: She's a citizen of the PRA and while she has no belief that her country is perfect and has room to grow, she believes they're on the right track. She's not fully sure what to make of human influence on her people, but she loves the vibrance of human society! DPRA: She views them as little better than terrorists who want to keep Adhomai in the dark ages. Sure the PRA might be human influenced, but at least they're striving for technological advances instead of shunning the help her people desperately need! NKA: Traitors who helped overthrow the Nobility… Only to reinstate the Nobility. She can make no sense out of this and thinks the NKA are dangerous who want to take their her people and throw them back under the ball and chain of the nobility that should now be gone! Everyone should be on equal footing, not 'ruling because we have the blood to do so'. Humanity: A curiousity and novelty, she is seeking citizenship in Beisel for what she believes will be a better life for herself. She doesn't always agree with what humans do, but they make her feel like she has some semblance of privacy and rights to free speech. So there's that! Skrell: Friendly. She views what little she knows of Skrell society as fascinating. Lead by creative thinkers and scientists, she hopes that Adhomai can take a lesson from here and move away from military style governance in full and allow great thinkers to lead. Bugmen, because I can never spell their name right: A 'what in the name of the moon and sun are these things?!' feeling. She KNOWS they're people and should be treated right, but by the gods they are just so ALIEN AND STRANGE! She avoids them unless she's forced to interact. Dionae: Living plants? Neat! Eating blood to learn? Less neat! Alien, sure, but the fact they're basically plant people makes her feel strangely at ease. Since when has a plant ever hurt anyone? Until it does. IPC: Free thinking machine people are super interesting as well as super worrying. There's no emotion, just logic. Which can be fine.. But she doesn't want one to decide burning down her home is the best way to get rid of a termite infestation instead of doing something less dire! Unathi: She's never met one, she does not even know they exist. So that will be fun! Edited June 15, 2022 by Haydizzle Alberyk accepted the application. Link to comment
Alberyk Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 A bit of an issue, Tajara can't work with Zavodskoi. Some questions: Out of all the Hadiists schools of thought, which one Mrro'Zardynh relates the most with and why? What exactly are ther plans with moving outside of Adhomai? What is she trying to accomplish? Link to comment
Lilly Evans Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 Ah, I didn't catch that. I am 100% willing to change my concept around for Heph as well for engineering work! Thanks for pointing that out, it highlights some extra reading I'll be doing today! They support the young hadiism school of thought. Mrro is a young soul who has grown up during a very rough time in Tajaran history. She believes that military rule needs to change with the times to come and that greater assurances of privacy and equality should be assured for all. The Party should serve the People, not vice versa. If things remain as they are, she fears that yet another revolution will come and Adhomai will become further fractured than it already is, a thought which breaks her heart. Their moving outside of Adhomai is a means to an end. They want to be able to access a greater system of continuing education and technology that is available in the wider galaxy, not only that which NanoTrasen and a few other factions gift them to. Eventually they want to be able to afford to move their mother and youngest sibling (Still a VERY young child) to Mendell City and ensure that her youngest sibling can get the best in education that she can offer. She also wants to ensure an easier life for her family there (so she hopes) than is available on Adhomai. Through their work contract and education they hope to one day be able to return to Adhomai and assist in planning large infrastructure and rebuilding projects, especially focusing on rural areas that typically are left without the technological advances available in the cities. In short, go out, get her family a better life, learn all she possibly can and make as much money as she can, and try to come home and help fund/plan/enact projects to better the lives of her fellow Tajara.
