Species you are applying to play: Unathi

What color do you plan on making your first alien character:i'm thinking about making them green or brown if i do green it will be a darker sen emerald 

Have you read our lore section's page on this species?:Yes

 

Why do you wish to play this specific race:

Well to start it's because i like the mechanics in the species, but i also enjoy the lore itself. Like their religions because of how they think that natural disaters are caused by groups of spirits or the imbalance in the “three of one” . i like how they act how they raise their head if they surrender or feel lots of compassion. I like how when their feel afraid or unhappy they will lower their head and protect their neck. Overall the Unathi are a fun species giveing a lot of opportunities for roleplay which is really nice.

 

Identify what makes role-playing this species different from role-playing a Human: the unathi have gender roles which means male unathi are warriors and female unathi are healers traditionally. Unathi also stare a lot compared to humans. Unathi also dislikes it when anybody uses their first name. And unathi find it very rude to point at echother for prolonged periods of time and it is considered an insult to their honor.

 

Character Name:Keth’ran Skar’Vak

Please provide a short backstory for this character: Keth’ran Skar’Vak was born into a modest clan on the Unathi homeworld of Moghes, his upbringing shaped by the guidance of his father, Vak’thor Skar’Vak. Raised as a single parent, Vak’thor instilled in Keth’ran a deep respect for tradition and the values of their people. Keth’ran grew up listening to his father’s stories about their ancestors, learning the tenets of honor, righteousness, and courage that had been passed down for generations. He embraced the Unathi customs wholeheartedly, adopting the practice of addressing others by their last names as a gesture of respect, as his father had taught him. This cultural grounding shaped his worldview, fostering a strong sense of duty and loyalty.

As Keth’ran matured, he found himself drawn to the concept of preserving his clan's heritage. His conversations with his father often revolved around their history, and he recognized the importance of upholding the values that had guided his people for so long. Yet, he also began to notice the changing world around them. The Contact War and the subsequent introduction to other species had brought shifts in dynamics and beliefs. This collision of tradition and evolution intrigued Keth’ran, prompting him to explore how the ancient principles could find relevance in the modern era. With the passing of his father, Keth’ran’s determination to bridge these worlds grew even stronger, leading him to embark on a journey that would test his commitment to both his heritage and the challenges of the present day.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? I think i'm pretty good i spend time Roleplaying when i'm in a server this can get tiring which is when my roleplay is at its worst but when im a species i will be to nervous about messing up to mess up and when this stage is over i think i will already be pretty competent 

 

Notes: Sorry for any poor quality this is my first whitelist application for this server and please give me some questions so i can fix any future RP mistakes also im horrible at making storys/backstorys

Hello! Sorry for taking a little while to respond. I've got a few questions.

1) How old is Keth’ran? Or in what year was he born? You make it sound like he experienced the Contact War so I don't imagine him to be too young.

2) Is he leaning more on the Traditional side of things? Or is he more loyal to the Hegemony?

3) What faith is he following?

2) Is he leaning more on the Traditional side of things? Or is he more loyal to the Hegemony? Hes more traditional

3) What faith is he following? Th'akh because I think this would be cool if it were real

Alright! Well, we would like to see you expand some more on your character's backstory. How did he end up on the Horizon? Why? What kind of job would he even do and why also?

[Gregory]

How he ended up on the horizon and what job does he do? And why: after the War when things stabalized slightly keth’ran decided he wanted off the planet because he has always loved the thought of going to space some day so he signed with the Zavodskoi Interstellar under the condition that he was sent to space and out of pure luck he was sent to the horizon and the reason he signed with the ZI was because he knew what he wanted to do he wanted to be a security officer because he wanted to protect the crew and uphold the warriors code

Hi, I apologise for the long wait in response as the Unathi lore writer position has only recently been filled.

I will be denying this application for now, as I feel like it doesn't really get to the core of Unathi lore - little to no mention of Skar'vak's religion, despite the major role it plays in Unathi society, and your response to "what makes Unathi different from humans" seems to be largely stuff that just reads like a wiki paraphrase instead of getting to the things that distinguish the species. I encourage you to read up some more on Unathi lore, and ask either myself or @Captain Gecko any questions you may have with regards to a future application.

I hope this doesn't discourage you from applying again in future. You may submit another application in one week.
