Have you read our lore section's page on this species?
Yes! The resources I looked were as follows:

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've always been interested in the Tajara lore and bringing this idea of my OC to life, Rainbow Stardust Princess  Asghar Khrazma'zur. Following their story as a race, and development has always been interesting. The Second Revolution that then developed into the Cold War Arc between the PRA, DPRA, NKA. Even the Warring Kingdoms was fun, the break down, the massacre, their history is interesting to a extreme level! I also enjoy the idea of their different break ups, the M'Sai, Zhan, Najrir, and Hharar. More so, how their interact, view each other, and affect their RP styles, colorings, and ideals. Even more so that the M'sai can only be Head of Security- The Zhan can't be any of them, and the Hharar and Njarir'Akhran can be everything but the HoS. The forum needs to be updated Head of Personnel to Executive Officer.

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

Outside of mechanics, having claws, running faster, lasting lest brute, better night vision, slower reagent processing, and a bunch of other things that I don't want to list to just fill out the paragraph. Tajara are very revolutionary, at least until up to recently. They're very 'tradition' shaming or at least shunning homosexuality, xenophilic ideals, and overt displays of affection. They are different when compared to humanity due to the wide shotgun of said humanity: from the strongest traditionalist and authoritarian to the most libertarian and freedom seeking Martian. When speaking basic, their R's are drawn (I'm unsure of this automagical like the S's for Unathis), but they other speak in a shared Tajaran language with other Tajara. A lot of direct conflict, and politic ideology is more recent than with humanity. While Sol is very authoritarian, they seem to have bigger things to worry about then how each Tajara thinks- Where the PRA, and arguably the DPRA or NKA, are much more invested in how you act.  

Character Name:
Asghar Rrhazhal Khrazma'zur, PRA Consular 

Please provide a short backstory for this character (Approximately two paragraphs)

Asghar is a Njarir, a noble from a bloodline dating to the Amohdan Empire, before the first great revolution to establish the People's Republic. Holding to the tradition of the Khrazma'zur and Amohdan swordsman taught him early in life to be strong, but, instead of holding to the actual tradition, he moved towards a more romanticized version of it. Honor, Loyalty, Bravery were all ideals that were held close to his heart. A Tajara who believed in the Kingdom, and Monarchy, and the re-establishment of his line, even if it was a far off and quiet dream in his heart. Growing up under the PRA as a Njarir was not easy- even though his nobility were all but stripped from him and family, the Zhan, M'sai, and Hharar all harbored loathing. The hatred, the fear of looking over his shoulder lead him to the Royalist cause.

The Second Revolution began when he was young- sixteen or so, and like a patriotic fool, with no real taste of death, or war- Just the stories of the massacre and first revolution to light a fire in his heart. The murder, death, and destruction being pinned on the Authoritarian Republic was too much for his young soul to bear. His blood and claim to the line putting him forward to the front lines of the fighting. The opening of the second revolution was violent, but he was spared some of the worse in his unit- till garrison became front line soldier. There was.. or well always is, this romantic idea of war- The fighting, the dying- it's all for your nation, your cause. But there you are- on the crater soaked fields of the Ras'nrr Prairies, the swirling mud as life of Adhomai is replaced with the burning fires of civil war once again. These horrors, these truths, pushed the young noble away from the this war and back to the PRA- He realized how little he knew.

And when asked why he gave up, his only reply, 'No Throne is worth any Tajara Blood, for it is far more precious than all the salt in the sea.' His words come off from the Siik'maas tongue, and an Amohdan accent to match.

What do you like about this character? 

I like this character because he is noble who was born into the PRA at the end of the revolution, 2433. While growing up in a nation who hated him for his blood, a family afraid that they would be next, and a childhood forged in worry and fear. Learning the ways and processes of following the Republic- of being the best little citizen he can. While behind closed doors learning swordsmanship, a romanticized idea of nobility and the horrors of the PRA and what they've done. That just because he was a noble, he deserved better, but this, he couldn't share any of this. The the second revolution came around and gave him a chance to be 'a man' and that just left him hollow and broken on the inside. He left the Kingdom, surrendered intelligence and himself back to the PRA before working himself as their newest loyal follower. Protecting his family and trying to push the ideal that Tajara shouldn't kill each other. War showed him too much.

How would you rate your role-playing ability?

I'd say I'm fairly good at roleplaying, been doing it for years on and off server- got tons of hours under my belt and I think I play a good mix of characters. I think this character can and hopefully will be really interesting and fun to interact. Sent off from the PRA to make sure tajara are loyal to the cause and the President. A new bright future for the PRA.

Please leave any feedback below, and/or ask any questions you'd like! I'd love to try answer them to the best of my ability.

Seen LordPwner RP for quite a while as Zane and Hope, does a great job OOC mechanically and IC roleplay wise, don't think they will have any issue playing a Tajaran race, especially considering their character history. Look forward to being bullied once again, but by a cat this time

This is my opinion as a player and should carry no weight from my admin status.
 

In my experience with @LordPwner, I have never had a bad encounter. They are excellent at following the servers standard for Roleplay, they do great when it comes to representing specific lore and I have noticed that they do their best to remain up to date and thoroughly informed with current events.

I enjoy playing with their characters, Uriel Evan’s, Zane Miller and Hope Are all excellent, well planned and executed characters- with different personalities and backstories. If I didn’t know who these people were played by, I never would have came to the conclusion that they are all creations from the applicant. 
 

I have nothing but faith that Pwner will not only add to the Tajaran experience, but also assist in growing healthy exposure to the species as a whole.

I can’t speak to the tajaran lore or how it fits, but he role plays well, especially war trauma, can’t wait for the pysches to try to break through prince tough guy anime MC bravado.

+1 on roleplay and character, but I’ll let a tajaran lore master school him on whether it fits tajaran lore but he should pick it up fast.

I have played with Pwner's characters for years now and never had a negative experience. This application has my full support.

Some questions:

-How does he sees the PRA, DPRA and the NKA?

-Does he follow any faith and which one?

-How did he end up working in the Horizon? What job do you plan to play them as?

Some questions:

-How does he sees the PRA, DPRA and the NKA?

-Does he follow any faith and which one?

-How did he end up working in the Horizon? What job do you plan to play them as?

1.) When he was younger- He saw the PRA as murderers, saw the DPRA as idiotic murderers, and the NKA as a new hope. That changed after the conflict, leading to his more pacifism ideals, at least among fellow tajara. Now, he sees the PRA as a hope for the people, the DPRA still has this sour taste to his tongue, since they refuse to work with the megacorporations that while do use and abuse their workforce, have benefits to work with. With the NKA, he wishes in his deepest heart that they full out won and captured the Tajara world and the following galactic nation, hopefully without bloodshed.  

2.) As a bloodline of the Adomdan Empire, and resident of the Harr’masir continent, his family and himself are devout members of S'rand'marr followers of the Suns. Holding to hiding one's feelings, keeping private matters private, and acting with reservation are expected of every Tajara, young or old. While to not shame his family, holding more to the sect of the Suns Penitent

3.) He ended up on the Horizon from his betrayal of the NKA back to the PRA- To prove his worth and loyalty- giving basic information, working in 'not propaganda', and in minor administration. Working as a Consular for the PRA to instill loyalty, to work for the greatness of the President, and if he is a rebel- his influence is quite minor this far from PRA Space. Also- following the pay to help his family on the East Coast of the Amohda Island. So both political and personal reasons
