Sparky_hotdog Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) BYOND Key: Sparky_hotdog Character Names: Erina Shen, Torrent, Elise Miravic (These are those I currently play) Species you are applying to play: Vaurca What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Brownish-Red? (131, 41, 11, Athvur's unbound colour) 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: I'll be honest, for the longest time I didn't have much interest in Vaurca, seeing them as just the weird bug race of the server. Then about a year ago maybe I interacted with a few in game in short succession, and something dawned on me. By their very nature, Vaurca are specialised at one thing; They have their jobs and they do them well. However, while a Human might develop these skills over the course of their whole life, building and growing their perception of the world as they do so, Vaurca learn in VR, and because of such are somewhat juvenile and innocent when it come to general life things. This not only makes them very different from every race on board, but makes them both fascinating as a concept, and usually highly adorable. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: I won't reiterate my point about their innocent nature here, but I think that's a key part. They are also very social creatures, as it is written into their biology; They are loyal to their Hive, Brood and fellow Vaurca, and while not biological, I think this does lead to them naturally being more loyal to other people and groups as well. Additionally, they are one of the most excluded races in the Spur, bar maybe synthetics (but it's pretty close honestly), which always alters the dynamic when it comes to interacting with other species. Character Name: Za'Akaix'Syx Zo'ra Please provide a short backstory for this character: Za’Akaix’Syx Zo’ra, more commonly referred to by their identifier, Syx, was created by Athvur’s brood in 2460 in the aftermath of the Lii’dra invasion of Tau Ceti. They were formed to bolster the ranks of Vaurca in Tau Ceti Foreign Legion. As might be expected of one of Athvur’s brood, they were not created as an efficient fighter, but rather as a medic and protector to keep their fellow legionaires alive. In their time in the VR realm of Athvur, Syx trained diligently in medicine for their future role, while also spending time studying Human culture and society to better allow them to integrate into the TCFL when the time came. When they did first step foot outside of Athvur’s realm and join the TCFL, Syx performed diligently in the field, and being a social creature by nature, found they enjoyed the comradery they had with their teammates. This was also the first experience with the other broods Syx would have, and as one might predict, they very quickly became familiar with the brood of Zoleth in particular, even entering her Realm to take part in team bloodsports with some of her warriors. Syx’s Ta' attitude towards having her Vaurca deployed as part of the Foreign Legion soured with the announcement of the Peacekeeper Mandate, and she began considering sending her Brood into the reserves, looking elsewhere to send them. Nexus Corporate Security reached out, offering a chance to send one of her Vaurca to the SCCV Horizon as a First Responder, for which Syx was chosen. They see this as a great honour, and a chance to learn about new cultures beyond Tau Ceti. What do you like about this character?: I'm a stickler for characters who fight (in this case non-literally) not to injure, but to protect, and Syx is not just someone who has chosen that life, but who was created to live that life, and being from Athvur's brood would allow me to play into the juvenile curiosity I love about the species so much. How would you rate your role-playing ability?: 6-7.5, depending on the day. Notes: Edited November 27, 2022 by Desven Minor backstory change. Edit 2: Changed from Worker to Warrior
Desven Posted November 26, 2022 Posted November 26, 2022 I'm willing to accept this application if you change your character to Warrior. It's just an environment a Warrior would be more comfortable with, even if they don't really have combat experience.

Changed.
