Species you are applying to play: Unathi

What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Green or Tan

Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: no lol (yes) (no) (maybe)

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: 

Unathi fill an interesting niche to me. They can be bombastic and honorbound or weird technophiles that live in the desert. Their mannerisms and just how different their society is come off as extremely interesting to me. I got particular enjoyment out of reading their social mannerisms when it comes to body language, such as the fact that they see staring unblinkingly at someone while crouched to their eye level as perfectly normal and proper, and how those same mannerisms conflict with the rest of the spur. Their attitude is engaging and their focus on religion is something I don't see come out as often in other races (barring Dominians obviously).

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

For one thing, their society and how they act socially are a completely different ballgame. Going from Feudal life to a corporate spaceship with every known species in the Spur is a hell of a transition, and the cultural clashes of Unathi with any other culture are something I see on a regular basis. On top of this, they have WAY more emphasis on body language than anyone else does.  Actual mechanics speaking, they can run in what is basically a short-range teleport for a long stamina recharge, fucking die in the cold (sort of), and are built to eat brute trauma for breakfast. This isn't so much a glass cannon as much as it is a cannon with a very short range.

Character Name: Saheel Zahr'ko

Please provide a short backstory for this character 

Born into the Zahr'ko clan on Moghes, Saheel's birthplace was nestled into the Untouched lands of the desert planet during the Contact War. His clan was greatly affected by the atomic exchange that obliterated most of the planet's surface, reducing them from a great clan with many members to only a few dozen by the time it was all said and done, only spared by the fact that their now sole village was sufficiently far away from population centers that were likely to be struck next, and even then the resulting fallout washing over from the newly created wasteland that was dangerously close to their homes killed more. This put the clan into survival mode and also happened to strengthen their belief in Th'akh tenfold, as religion became an escape from what had befallen the clan and a way to grieve for the lost, instead of just a part of life.

Regardless of this devastation mere years before his hatching, Saheel was raised with the Warrior code in mind. Its tenets were drilled into his mind and he was expected to follow it to the letter, regardless of what he himself actually wanted to do. When he became of age, he was set off to be married in a bid to make an alliance with a neighboring clan, to which Saheel complied and married his wife Kah'nla, to which he quickly fell for in earnest, the two coincidentally being a perfect pairing. 

Now in his mid-twenties, Saheel has already had multiple children and has dreams of moving on beyond Moghes, having heard stories of what lies beyond the radiated sandball that is his home planet. He'd gone his entire life following whatever was expected of him, and only recently had the idea of his own free will jarred in somewhere, and he wanted that for his entire family. The only problem was, he had absolutely no idea what the world 'out there' was like. He figured the only way to find out - and be likely to survive - was to take up a job with the Corporations, and so he did, as a security officer that was assigned to the SCCV Horizon for a totally safe and not ratchet-as-hell exploration voyage.

 

What do you like about this character? 

I set this character up to be the type that is well-meaning and genuine, but drastically out of his depth when it comes to interacting with other species. He wants to see what else the galaxy has to get his family the hell off of Moghes, and while he intends on living that goal out, he really has no clue whatsoever of how to interact with anyone that is not a Unathi or a K'lax. He has THE CODE™ drilled into his gator brain and a lifetime of clan backing and religion following the somewhat traumatic experience of living a childhood in the last decade of the Contact War, but that really doesn't count for much when you are suddenly the minority. He is Pure of Heart, but Dumb of Ass.

How would you rate your role-playing ability?

0/10 the fact that I have played here for years without getting banned is nothing but a miracle

Notes: I made this just to assassinate geeves' next character
