BYOND Key: (byond key) Shajo

 

Character Names: (character name) Mrro'Zardynh Vidarii, Rrhuyala Zidan, Task, Hiyin Qwll, Tesla, Unity, Kiqui Qwll, Kiu Laishi, PALADIN, INQUISITOR

 

Species you are applying to play: (species name) Vaurca Bulwark

 

What color do you plan on making your first alien character: (Color of your character; Dionaea & IPCs exempt) wintergreen-esque (RGB 28, 102, 84)

 

Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: I have! While there's always more to learn, I feel like I've got a decent grasp on the race! As always, I love feedback and continued learning! (Also been getting some IC learning on a character too!)

 

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)

There's playing an alien, then there's the Vaurca who are so foreign from most other species that we have that learning all of their lore has been mind boggling! My interest was piqued after some IC interactions with our resident C'thur liaison and I'm really excited to try and learn more about this unique race and play them in an environment where they are around other people! From their strange hivemind and VR afterlife to the way their society is structured and integrates into human, unathi, and skrell society? There's so much to explore with them!

 

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:

(One Paragraph minimum)

The hivemind stands out, along with heavy augmentation that many organic species tend to find disturbing. You are also an individual (If unbound) that has a biological tick to be loyal and useful to your hive. You're also playing a race that potentially lives FOREVER due to their consciousness being uploaded to VR upon death, and can be reslotted into another body (Though a novelty at this time) for further use in the physical world. Death does not stop your ability to aid and advance your species, as you can continue research and aiding from VR. You can't breathe normal air or eat normal food, You survive on K'ois and phoron which would kill others! It's a super neat system that makes them feel truly alien, along with how they are having to adapt to other alien species and find themselves captured within those societies and work to survive in them. 

 

Character Name:(Character name) Ra'Akaix'Vrith K'lax

 

Please provide a short backstory for this character

(Approximately two paragraphs)

Ra'Akaix'Vrith K'lax was created in the Brood of Leto, one of the new Bulwarks recently spotted in the galaxy. After their six month organic growth period they were slotted with a neural socket and began training under the guidance of Ka'Akaix'Doss K'lax in the field of archaeology. Unlike many of their peers, they were not created and relegated to menial work or engineering, but rather designed to share in scientific pursuits that required a bit more muscle. Afterall, some artifacts that had been discovered were quite large and having a bigger frame allowed for Vrith to handle them more easily and transport them. The six month period went well for the young Vaurca, taking easily to the training and finding an innate eagerness to pursue the unknown. 

 

After their full one year period of growth they fully came into their body from VR and was sent for a brief period to work with a mining operation on Tret to have some practical, hands on experience with excavation. A few months time was all they needed to grasp the finer details of mining operations and safety before they were chosen to be amongst a group of scientifically minded Vaurca to be sent off to NanoTrasen for profitable work. They have spent the last six months working on various NT stations before being assigned fully to the SCCV Horizon as an Archaeologist, providing them with the opportunity to traverse the unknown and search for the ancient artifacts their Queen held so dear.

What do you like about this character?

(Describe what you like about this character)
I love the fact that the Vaurca have such a well traveled and mysterious history that I will get to explore from the prospect of a Xenoarchaeologist! Digging in to the history and lore of ancient Vaurca from an IC aspect will be rather thrilling, as will being one of the new Bulwarks who look AMAZING. I'm excited to learn more as I play them and find the quirks of their personality. 

 

How would you rate your role-playing ability?

Pretty decent! I think anyone who's interacted with my characters can say that I'm a reasonably good roleplayer! Sometimes I need a nudge to make sure I get things juuuust right, but once that's done I feel that I stay in the theme and feel of what I set out to do very well!

 

Notes:
Religion: Hive/Clasiccal pantheon - The queens bring life to barren worlds, without them the Vaurca would not survive. They are to be protected and cared for, and sought for guidance when needed.

Feelings on other hives:
Zo'ra - Disliked, feels as though the Zo'ra still view the K'lax as their vassals instead of an independent people. Not hostile, but not favorable.

C'thur - Neutral. Approves of the amount of scientific experimentation and exploration that the C'thur undertake as a whole, but find themselves unable to grasp their connection to the Skrell. At least they know where the K'lax stand with the Unathi. Think's it's very sorrowful that High Queen C'thur is injured, wishes them a full recovery because they don't want to see -any- queen die. It's a tragedy.

Lii'dra - Hates. Both from biological conditioning and what they've heard and understood in their own life so far. No one should seek to subjugate all the Hives, let them be independent! Nor is violence the solution to the problems the Vaurca face.

 

Races:
Skrell - Interesting, long lived, technologically advanced. Afraid they might accidentally break them due to how squishy they are if they so much as look at them the wrong way.

Humanity - Positive, even if the Zo'ra are the ones who mostly deal with Humanity. Their time on Tret has given them a positive view of humanity and working alongside them. Just wait until they meet their first xenophobe…

Unathi - Positive. Very thankful the Unathi took them in and even gave them their own space to live on. Does not like that the Unathi hold dominion over them via vassalage, but they hope a bright future for the two races can be obtained as equals, not as masters and servants. Approves of the Unathi sense of honor and finds that its an appealing addition to life. Also they're covered in hardened hide, which is less squishy than most. Very agreeable.

 

IPC - Mostly positive. Views them as less effective Cephalon. Humanities step in the right direction towards technological advancement, but they forgot the biological aspect. Likes most IPC's work ethic since it's hard coded in and can resonate with having biological programming that resembles IPC programming.

Dionae - Loves. Considering how Dionae can combine into massive lifeforms and multiple minds become one, they are fascinated with Dionae. It's like an entire hive in a small body! Goes out of their way to try and get to know Dionae and befriend them.

 

Tajara - Neutral. Has heard stories of them but has never met one. Does not understand how an intelligent species evolved to have fur. Carapace is better.

 

Hobbies:

Coin collection - Loves to collect antique coins and currency from other species. They don't understand the real value of them, they just love the varied designs and stylistic choices.

 

Music - Avid listener of alien music, especially anything that has a thrum to it (String instruments). Loves classical human orchestra or anything with a deep drumming beat.

This is a nice application and I like the fleshed out character. My main question is: what would you say Vrith's purpose is? And would you consider them more on the mechanical side (menial excavating, albeit of fragile artifacts) or scientific (mostly interested in the research)?

[Lilly Evans]

Thanks for the reply! My interest in Vrith would be more on the scientific side, after locating and retrieving the artifacts being able to study and figure out their origin. I figured he's larger and sturdier than normal workers, so he'd have an easier time surviving unexplored and potentially dangerous areas to be able to find things to study.

Consume wildly? Done!
