Shammy's Skrell Application

[Shamiel]

(This is a work in progress, and I am open to criticism!)

BYOND Key: Shamiel

Character Names: Ripley Giger

How long have you been playing on Aurora: I believe since last Christmas, perhaps a little before.

Species you are applying to play: Skrell

What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Light Blue.

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: Well, I've been thoroughly interested in the Skrell for a long time now, and i'm interested in their high-tech based society and their general way of life. I enjoy how their anatomy has some similarities to humanity, but more amphibious with some interesting body features.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: How they can breathe underwater, how they have no teeth and only hard gums, making them only able to eat soft foods and liquids, as well as not being able to digest meats. Another interesting thing that I like about them is how they can absorb liquids through their skin.

Character Name: Soju Niv'ku

Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Being born in a Skrellian space colony, Soju was raised by a two Skrellian chemists, making a living off of developing new medicines and potent anesthetics. Soju was a very socially inept and closed off individual, spending most of her time secluded and learning about different cultures and ethnicities, and gathering general knowledge about anything she could get her hands on. When Soju reached adolescence, she became more and more interested in her parents work, and with her new found passion, she began to spend all of her time working with chemicals. As she reached young adulthood, she set off to find better work in the vast Solar System, and soon became entranced by the NanoTrasen workforce, soon making her way to the next employment center to begin the next chapter of her life.

What do you like about this character? I like how she is very interested in chemicals, and how dedicated she is to get her job done. I feel she could be very beneficial to the Medical team, developing medicines and help get those prescriptions out the door, since it is always good to have a competent Chemist (which sometimes there is a lack of).

How would you rate your role-playing ability? 8/10

I'd be very happy to +1 you! You also play Tal Nejem, as far as I know, and others have enjoyed interacting with her a lot. I'm very eager for you to bring the subtle touch of your roleplay and a Skrell to medbay. It's just I'd recommend expanding the backstory juuust a little. It does say approximately two paragraphs, and all I can tell about her personality from the backstory is that she's socially inept and enjoys chemistry - a rather wooden framework if I'm honest. I have no doubt you'd be able to develop her more while playing her, but just a little more detail would give you my full support. c:

Heh, I was fairly uninspired with the back story as I was writing, so I will probably expand more later, but i'm glad that I have your support!

The wall of text was horrible to my eyes but, application accepted.
