Species you are applying to play: Tajara

What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Kochiba as called on the wiki.

Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes
 

Why do you wish to play this specific race:

Tajara are a species whose entire history is embroiled in war with no clear cut heros or villians, not to mention the interesting societal issues present throughout all three of the major factions. I believe it would be extremely interesting to play a character who interacts with these ideas. They are also extremely different to humans and interactions between these two races often lead to interesting conflict that I would be interested in exploring.   

 

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

Tajara society has only recently been technologically accelerated. How your Tajara character views this and the strife that could be caused by this is extremely different to anything you could accomplish with a human character. Not to mention it would not be a stretch to say the big events (The civil wars) have completely defined their current society and the scars of which are something that are still extremely fresh in almost all Tajara characters minds. There is not really a human equivalent for this.

 

Character Name: Killarun Hazmrakri

 

Please provide a short backstory for this character:

Killarun Hazmrakri was born in a small farming village a distance from Olska to Hharar parents. Due to the small size of the satellite hamlet, she was required to help her parents with chores from an extremely young age and had very little time to herself, although her mother did try and teach her what literacy and medicinal skills she had. The People's Republic farming modernisation programme had yet to reach them and since the revolution that had claimed the life of their great-grandfather a levy with their local noble, they had seen little change in conditions outside of the name of who they were paying tithe to. This frustration and feeling of being forgotten was a constant point of contention amongst her parents, both of whom had different perspectives on whether their hard work would pay off. 

 

Killarun was still young when the second revolution began. When the New Kingdom forces arrived following the surrender of Olska, her father eagerly joined the Imperial Adhomian Army against the wishes of the young Tajara's mother, who pleaded with him to remain. With her father's hasty departure, the two of them were forced to take up more duties around the village, Killarun even taking a surprise opportunity to learn with the village cobbler for extra knuckles. It was not to last, however. Several years later, news arrived in the village that Killarun's father was MIA and her mother, who had recently been struggling with sickness, only got worse. She cursed him for leaving to fight, a sentiment which Killarun shared. When herbal medicines administered by herself and the village elder failed, she turned to praying to Marryam and outside help, using all the money she had saved to bring in a proper doctor. Her mother was discovered to have a rare genetic disorder that he couldn't treat. She died peacefully six months later. 

 

Killarun, now on her own, began working even harder and had become a full-time cobbler. The New Kingdom promised great things, and whilst she was wary of what they could provide, she believed a strong figure of royalty that was not susceptible to the abuses of the People's Republic, which had failed to deliver for them, to be the only way forward.  However, much to the shock of Killarun, she fell ill not unlike her mother and discovered in horror she had inherited the same genetic disorder. Knowing that it would be fatal without treatment, she was forced to turn instead to make the arduous and expensive journey to the capital of the New Kingdom Kaltir hoping to employ her skills as a cobbler however they too were unable to treat the Tajara and her money most of which had been spent on temporary accommodation was rapidly fading. After hearing talk of others doing the same she was pushed into the only option she could see left, which was to leave Adhomai altogether, using a New Kingdom Corporate recruitment office within the capital. This would end in her obtaining a job as a bartender aboard the SCCV Horizon under NanoTrasen which would also provide a prescription for her condition in exchange for an extremely predatory contract. 

 

The new environment is completely different to any she has ever seen before. Whilst lacking in credits, she is forced to adapt to a vessel with equipment more advanced than even the industrial technology she briefly saw within the Kaltir and is quickly forced to come to terms with working alongside aliens she had never even heard of before, nevermind seen. Not only this, but she must persevere, not just working alongside Tajara of the PRA, which she feels abandoned them originally despite all their talk and the extremist DPRA, she is now stuck in a position where she must adapt quickly. 

 

What do you like about this character?

I like the idea of exploring a character who comes from somewhere antiquated and is forced to rapidly adapt to a changing environment which she's been thrust into in order to survive. I don't see many rural characters and think it'd be interesting to explore. 

 

How would you rate your role-playing ability?:

Reasonably decent I'd hope.

Out of the royalists' schools of thought, which one does she align herself with?

What does Killarun Hazmrakri think of the PRA and DPRA now?: The People's Republic of Adhomai abandoned Killarun and her family despite lofty promises and attempts to break-down traditional structures which have existed for thousands of years. The Democratic People's Republic are extremist terrorists who use a broken system, letting corrupt and foolish commoners guide them instead of a true authority.

 

Out of the royalists' schools of thought, which one does she align herself with?: Killarun considers herself a conservative royalist, believing that whilst the old nobility had failures and abuses, a wise and educated central figure such as the Queen, kept in check-through a constitution is the perfect system to guide the Tajara commoners. Systems that integrate commoners into leading positions are too slow and full of people who wish for nothing but to serve themselves.
