ErshOurHerzog Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 BYOND Key: Ershovdi Character Names: Ka'Akaix'Sotis C'thur, a Vaurca Scientist who is a gamer. Za'Akaix'Rang Zo'ra, a Zo'leth veteran of Lii'dra invasion on Tau Ceti - also a security member. Jribekk Drajulmir, a normal, chilled Zhan-Khazhan Tajara who happens to work in the engineering department. and other characters that I do not play and noone knows them, and it's better to stay this way ;D Species you are applying to play: Skrell What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Dark Blue Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes. Why do you wish to play this specific race: Skrell live a long time. Sometimes five hundred years. This makes them able to create very long, complex plans that will continue to grow for centuries, resulting in some crazy stuff like becoming an idol for the whole species. My first character will be from the Jargon Federation. While I don't like the concept of government going as far as creating a thought police, playing a character that I, myself, might hate - sounds fun as hell. Also, I love psyonics and telepathy, and on Aurora that's something very special. Never seen anything close to Skrell psyonics, maybe I should read more. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: I think it's the conflict between those who are influenced by the brainwashing government and those who are influenced by "indomitable human spirit". This can lead to some conflicts with other skrells and species in-game. Not to mention the synthetics. "Glorsh-Omega was a mistake! Do not trust this IPC even if the human in danger might die!!" - that's the stuff I wanna scream. Also I want to mention the emotions of skrell - they are hard to understand because all skrell use their headtails to compensate for weird facial muscles placement. Character Name: Willsh-Qabe Juxeq Please provide a short backstory for this character. Willsh is an Axiori skrell born in year 2310 on Qerrbalak in Ucra Region, becoming a skrell of the Supernova Era. Seeing only the consequences of Tri-Qyu Calamity in their young age, they were challenged with restoring the fractured Jargon Federation. And what is the main force that will return normal life to Skrell? In Willsh's opinion it was manual labour. Their late-age Ukutanii was mixed with the pressure of hard times, as well as their other moments of education. By taking humans in the consideration, Willsh decided to get to the higher level of knowledge, moving themselves towards three skrell degrees: first in history, second in law, and third in astronomy, becoming a Star Graduate of the Gliutip'lyaz University. Realising that there won't be any breakthroughs from Willsh in science, they decided to pursue their carrer in Qukala after looking at the results of their psyonic capabilities test. Yes, they were a great reciever, and that was of the deciding factors when becoming a Star Enforcer and climbing up the ranks. Their time in Qukala forces made Willsh make an addition to their name -Qabe, showing a feeling of respect to one of their ship captain who was almost an idol of order and discipline for Willsh. Willsh-Qabe became quite popular in Qukala for their knowledge of history and how they always applied it to present work. However, when the Phoron Scarcity kicked the universe right in the gut, Willsh contacted with the SCC, becoming a member of the Bridge Crew of SCCV Horizon. The Jargon Federation fully trusts Willsh-Qabe and their capabilites as a pilot of an important vessel. What do you like about this character? It's an Axiori skrell who is also a pilot - I always wanted to create a Bridge Crew character. Willsh-Qabe is also a Jargon Federation lover, and the Federation loves them too. I think it will be fun to roleplay as a very professional and smart ex-Qukala pilot who got thrown into a completely new envirnoment. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Just fine. Notes: Just some minor character details. Willsh is a follower of Qeblak, but never got into the clergy because of the hard work in Qukala, but they do follow basic doctrines and they believe that knowledge is the most valuable thing there can be. Willsh hates synthetics, but somewhat trusts the humans in their control - it wouldn't be very good if a member of the Bridge Crew had problems with one of the essential parts of the ship. This hate gives an opportunity for Diona and Vaurca to be loved by Willsh-Qabe for their love to labour and work. Willsh has a social credit score of 7.5. Willsh loves Homeworld: Invasion for it's gameplay, but doesn't actually like the lore of the game - humans are enemies in it, and Willsh respects humans. Link to comment
WhatsUpBrotendo Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hi, thanks for applying. I think you've hit the main points, and I don't have much feedback/questions regarding what you've written other than Willsh's justification for leaving the Federation. What convinced them to contact the SCC and go abroad, keeping in mind that being a primary comes with many benefits in the Federation? I've also got some additional questions just to get a better idea of your character: How do they feel about Skrell born outside of the Federation? How do they feel about Skrell who fled the Federation, such as those in the Starlight Zone in Mendell City? How would they react if they had to work alongside them while on the Horizon? How do they feel about Vaurca or Dionae in general? Did they interact with either species much while on Qerrbalak or in the Qukala? Willsh has a varied education. What was their plan post-Depth College? Was the plan always to join the Qukala, or did they have other things in mind? Can you talk a bit more about their family and early childhood? Were they an only child? How big was their family? Do they have a quya of their own, or are they single? What was their role in the Qukala? You mention them being a pilot, but were they involved in logistics/transport, or did they see combat? How do they feel about the events of the Beauchamp arc? Link to comment
ErshOurHerzog Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Well, that was fast. Good thing I got the main stuff. 3 hours ago, WhatsUpBrotendo said: How do they feel about Skrell born outside of the Federation? Unease. Willsh doesn't trust them. "Real, loyal skrell who shoot for the stars can only be born in the Federation. Otherwise they will be corrupted by alien knowledge and culture." - that sounds like something they would say. But not because they hate aliens, it's simply that they're scared for young generation with no real control. 3 hours ago, WhatsUpBrotendo said: How do they feel about Skrell who fled the Federation, such as those in the Starlight Zone in Mendell City? How would they react if they had to work alongside them while on the Horizon? I would say Willsh doesn't really see the difference between those who fled the Federation and those who were born outside of it. There is only difference in their thoughts about possible danger: refugees are dangerous right now and skrells born outside of the Federation will be dangerous later, if no action will be done. There should be control, Willsh thinks. And if they had to work with them... Well, it depends. If those skrell got a job on SCC flagship, they shouldn't be that bad, right? 3 hours ago, WhatsUpBrotendo said: How do they feel about Vaurca or Dionae in general? Did they interact with either species much while on Qerrbalak or in the Qukala? They did interact with various Dionae in the Qukala, and they are proven to be great, supportive workers who can do their job. Yes, they're alien, but the Federation did a great job integrating them in the society. So, Willsh likes them. But Vaurcae - not so much. C'thur is a very new power in hands of the Federation, and Willsh tends to think that their "high queen" would be a great problem if it would be healthy. But as for now, Vaurcae are more "good" than "bad". As for other hives, Willsh doesn't know much about them expect for basics, so they are very careful about them. 4 hours ago, WhatsUpBrotendo said: What convinced them to contact the SCC and go abroad, keeping in mind that being a primary comes with many benefits in the Federation? / Willsh has a varied education. What was their plan post-Depth College? Was the plan always to join the Qukala, or did they have other things in mind? The thing that Willsh dislikes the most is politics. During their time in Depth-College they were planning to get into it, but, while getting a third degree in Astronomy, they realised they won't get very high in their homeworld. There was something about space that made them join the Qukala. Maybe they wanted to serve their homeworld by defending it in the borders? After careful consideration, Willsh joined the Qukala and was not dissapointed. They wanted to protect their home by being far away from it. And that is also what made them join the adventure of Horizon. It is a popular ship of powerful SCC that can impact the whole universe. And maybe, while directing it, Willsh will make the Jargon Federation look better in the eyes of the aliens, as well as the skrell outside of it. 4 hours ago, WhatsUpBrotendo said: Can you talk a bit more about their family and early childhood? Were they an only child? How big was their family? Do they have a quya of their own, or are they single? Yes, they were the only child. And a very precious child for their normal-sized (for skrell) familiy, perhaps even more precious then to any other skrell. The influence of their mentors and caretakers was the main reason Willsh got first two degrees in history and law, and Willsh is grateful for it. They do not have a quya of their own as for now, because that is something that should be decided with a very, very careful consideration. Though WIllsh was an object of interest by other skrell. 4 hours ago, WhatsUpBrotendo said: What was their role in the Qukala? You mention them being a pilot, but were they involved in logistics/transport, or did they see combat? They were a pilot of a military multipurpose fighter Eyrixoq, becoming a leader of their 3-member crew. This crew created a good connection with eachother, becoming one of the best-performing crews in battles against maradeurs. Even though some higher-ups of Qukala advised Willsh to increase the number of the crew, they refused, explaining it with the fact that current connection between the members of a figher is already perfect and would be damaged with a fourth member. This combat performance is also why Willsh has a high social credit score. 4 hours ago, WhatsUpBrotendo said: How do they feel about the events of the Beauchamp arc? They feel guilty for leaving Qukala just before the attack of Admiral Beauchamp. Of course, the Qukala won the battle, but Willsh and their crew could make it easier and get more recognition. But, on the other hand, learning about the SCC before joining it on the Horizon payed off. These events proved that some humans are more chaotic than the others, because of lack of control. Welp, that's it. Thank you for asking more questions, they really did help making the character more interesting for me and, hopefully, for other players. Link to comment
