Star Dust Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 BYOND Key: Sarge7767 Character Names: Evelyn Heaven, Surgeon Violeta Arche, Physician Viviana Doroteia, Warden Trhofiim R'odion, Assistant Carmina Divina, First Responder Scarlett Savali, Cook Yakov Genrikh, Shaft Miner Species you are applying to play: Dionae What color do you plan on making your first alien character: N/A Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes 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: Dionae to me are one of the most unique and fascinating races of Aurora lore, they have no known homeworld, and their culture is to say the least one of the most diverse outside of Humans, and maybe the Skrell. Dionae also have so many different mindsets, styles of play, and that gives me a lot of freedom to customize my Dionae in almost any way I wish, with a few key exceptions, and that is something I really enjoy about a race, is when I have the most freedom. Another reason why I wish to play the Dionae is because I really like the religion The Eternal, it is possibly the largest reason why I’m making this app, The Eternal is extremely diverse in its ideals, and how to pursue said ideal which is them being turned into a star and giving off energy and life. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The biggest difference between roleplaying a Dionae compared to a Human would be the fact that Dionae is that a Dionae Gestalt is not one person, its multiple people with their own thoughts, desires, and wishes all coming together as one to form a single body that they all have to share and this is often reflected as different mindsets and how they interact with others and their surroundings. Another major difference between the two is that Dionae are normally very good natured, respectful, and rather adverse to violence, though that is to say that not all Dionae are passive and kind, but they more often than not act much more passive than Humans. Another major thing is how Dionae learn, while Dionae can learn just like how a Human would, they also can learn rather quickly via ingesting blood from intelligent creatures like Humans, Skrell, ect. Character Name: Endless Wells of Crimson Bring About Untold Wisdom Please provide a short backstory for this character (For the sake of not having to write out their full name every time, I will simply be referring to them as Endless Wells) Endless Wells’s Gestalt formed about a century ago on a small asteroid within Coalition space near the Rebels Reach region, They were a part of a small independent community of Void Tamers. In this community Endless Wells partook in the normal activities that comes with Void Tamer life, herding, raising, and butchering the carp and gants they raised for profit, often selling it to small nearby colony merchant ships. But Endless Wells’s was always a curious Dionae, always asking questions regarding matters of theology, logic, philosophy, and the sorts, and this caught the attention of the groups local Overseer/religious figure, finding potential in Endless Wells, they took to teaching them all they knew about the Blood Eternal, its teachings, practices, and its songs. Decades passed for Endless Wells’s, at this point becoming the communities record keeper, and scribe. Detailing the small but proud history of their community, but it didn’t take long for Endless Wells’s desire and yearn to learn more about the outside, and to properly be ordained as an Overseer of the Blood Eternal. So Endless Wells’s took a few years to save up enough credits to buy passage onto a merchant ship, and to finally make their way to Xanu Prime first, for they didn’t have alot of credits still, even after working years it was just enough to book passage to Xanu Prime. Endless Wells’s worked on Xanu Prime for a few years as a common laborer, saving up most of their wages, and to also earn Coalition citizenship proper. During their time on Xanu Prime, Endless Wells’s took to studying and learning as much as they could in their freetime, they learned about other Dionae clusters and cultures that lived in the Spur, and also along with other matters such as philosophy, poetry, politics, and more, seeming to have an almost unquenchable thirst for information and the like. Nearly five years passed, and Endless Wells’s was ready to set out, and so the first place they went was to the Viscerabelt where they after some time, were ordained properly as an Overseer. Once ordained Endless Wells’s, being of the mindtype Scholarly Song then opted to migrate to Biesel, for the stores of knowledge, ideals, and stories from other walks of life was too tempting for the Gestalt to pass up. Though their stay on Biesel was brief, for when they learned of the launching of the SCCV Horizon, they signed up to work for Nanotransen as a Priest, so to not only spread the teachings of the Eternal, but to also see many of the new and wondrous discoveries that would be made by the ship itself. What do you like about this character?: I would say what I most enjoy about this character is the mix of religious beliefs, and starry eye wonder. How would you rate your role-playing ability?: I would say my roleplaying skills are to an acceptable level for Aurora. Notes: Link to comment
KingOfThePing Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 The characters I interacted with, mainly the medical ones, were very good. This application has my support. Link to comment
JeffMomentRed Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Did not know this player was quite a few characters I've enjoyed such interactions with until I saw their post here. Sarge places a great amount of effort in their roleplay and really contributes to Aurora in a wonderful way with, at least in my experience, deep storied characters with immersive interactions. +1 *chirp* Link to comment
Yonnimer Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Hi, overall we feel your app is fairly solid, but do have a few questions regarding the backstory we'd like to ask: How do they feel about other species? How do they feel about the other branches of the eternal? Do they have any opinions on the SCC/NT? Link to comment

How do they feel about the other branches of the eternal? Do they have any opinions on the SCC/NT? 1. How do they feel about other species?: For most of the races, outside of Humans they haven't had much in the way of long term interactions to get a solid feeling on many races. But from what little they have seen? Humans, being the most common of the race in the Spur that Endless Wells have interacted with, Endless Wells view Humans as a go get-em kind of race, they're so short lived (Compared to a Dionae) but in their short times they have, they can do amazing things. But this is where Endless Wells feels this is also Humans biggest failing, due to they live such short lives, they tend to be quick to jump to things such as greed, anger, and hedonism. In short, Humanity can do great feats, but can also be at fault for also great tragedies for the sake of speed, and so Endless Wells is friendly, but cautious of Humans due to their unstable temperament. Skrell, being the second most common race Endless Wells has come into contact with but still really not that often compared to Humans. Endless Wells views Skrell to be more understanding, rational, and logical, but outside of that simply doesn't know enough to make a fair judgement. So in short, neutral but positive. IPC's, a race of machines, of logical thinkers, and of a great debate wither they're truly alive or not. Endless Wells see's IPC's as a race that is to vast to properly boil down into a single spot or feeling. Some IPC's are nearly robotic with no emotions, while others seem to mimic emotions almost perfectly which just muddies the thoughts of them even more. In short, neutral and of need of further study to truly understand them. Unathi, a race Endless Wells rarely got to interact with, but the few small times they did get to interact with them, Endless Wells can see Unathi as proud, strong, loyal friends, but are also very aggressive, and prone to anger in the right circumstances. so in short, Friendly, but cautious due to Unathi's natural strength coupled with their higher levels of aggression then in most other races. Vaurca, being a race Endless Wells has almost no interactions with, but from what little Endless Wells has learned, they're strange, extremely alien in mindset, and due to the many many different types of Vaurca hives out there, it makes it even harder to properly pin down a feeling for them. so in short, neutral and of need of further study. Tajara, being much like the Vaurca in terms of interactions, has almost no real clue on how to judge them. All Endless Wells knows is that they have been at endless war with themselves on their home planet. So in short, neutral and in need of further study. 2. How do they feel about the other branches of the eternal?: Orthodox Eternal, their fellow brethren in terms of faith. Endless Wells views them as the necessary arbiters of the The Ch’sssn’aah, and the ones who keep the faith from dead-locking or degrading as they help settle disputes. Iron Eternal, Endless Wells views them as those who deny the true path of the Eternal, seeing their focus on the physical aspects of the faith instead of the spiritual ones makes Endless Wells extremely upset, and rather annoyed. Though viewing them in a negative light, its never anywhere near to the point of aggression, or hate, simply disliking their practices. 3. Do they have any opinions on the SCC/NT?: Not really, its a company that like all others has a goal of making profit. There isn't really much dislike or hate for them, for they do help employ millions of people, with stable, well paying jobs. But there isn't much love either for it, for NT and the SCC are extremely greedy, to the point if left unchecked, could be harmful to all. But as of now, no real thoughts outside of them being just a very powerful company. Link to comment
