Character names: (Clarity Beck)

Species you are applying to play: (Vaurca)

------------------------------

General Whitelist Requirements 

What colour do you plan on making your first alien character?: (Orange)

Have you read the lore pages for the species you wish to be whitelisted for?: 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 species?:
I think Vaurca look pretty cool and I like how they talk. Seeing Vaurca characters being played
and interacting with them has been fun. I enjoy their lore about how far their civilization has fallen from it's prime, 
and I'm excited to see what happens to them in the future. I'm especially interested in how things will play out from the perspective of a Vaurca.
I'm interested in the mechanics of the Vaurca where they breathe phoron and don't heal on their own normally.

What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: 
Vaurca face a lot of discrimination from Humans and other species in the Spur, who want to exploit them while also not allowing Vaurca to become too powerful.
They might not understand some concepts which are obvious to humans. For example, loyalty not being a given for humans.
Vaurca won't struggle with any doubts about their religion or similar, knowing they will probably return to VR at the end of their lives.
That doesn't mean Vaurca aren't averse to pain or don't care when other Vaurca die.
Vaurca do not have to struggle with finding a purpose like humans might, as it will have already been envisioned by a Ta.

Character Application

Character Name: Za'Akaix'Eek Zo'ra

Write a backstory for your character. This may include their origin, education, personality and how they arrived to the SCCV Horizon. 
Spawned January 16th 2464 Eek was selected by a Ta to be a Warrior for the newly formed Ve'katak Phalanx.
Hatching in early 2465 Eek went through VR training and went through various combat trainings and simulations.
Eek was also primed with information about Vaurca and Human culture and history.
Trained to a passable standard by late 2465 Eek was not slated to be sent anywhere yet.
Eek was left to immerse itself in various VR Realms and was particularly enthralled by the Heroes of Tau Ceti one.
It gained some sense of Bieselite patriotism from this and also became interested in various Human medias.
Finally leaving VR Eek was scheduled to be deployed to the SCCV Horizon.
Eek practiced real-life combat while in transit, and in its spare time enjoyed various Bieselite sports broadcasts.
Finally arriving at the SCCV Horizon in mid-February Eek is excited to interact with more Humans.

 

How has the recent events of the Orion Spur impacted your character? 

Information about recent events shaped Eeks opinions on the political and economic situation in the spur.
It is worried about how the phoron shortage might impact the Zo'ra Hive and Biesel.
The events leading to the formation of the Ve'katak Phalanx have lead to Eek having some dislike for C'thur Vaurca.
The invasions of Biesel by Sol and Eeks experiences with Heroes of Tau Ceti lead to it having fantasies about fighting off Solarian Marines.
Being informed of the situation with the ECM device and the rogue IPCs on Konyang, Eek is eager to help the Humans struggling there.

How does your character view the megacorporation they work for?

Eek feels like it belongs in the Ve'katak Phalanx and is happy to be around other Zo'ra Vaurca, It would be better without the C'thur though.
It doesn't have strong feelings about PMCG itself but is intrigued by many of the subsidiary PMCs.
Eek is interested in the Dagamuir Freewater Forces because of their K'lax Vaurca and impressed by the supposed prowess of Unathi as warriors.
Nexus Corporate security has a decent amount of Humans from Biesel and Eek feels some comradery with them.
Eek is not quite sure why the Phalanx needs the PMCG to organize them, but does not particularly mind.

Howdy. Some comments:

1. When you apply for a whitelist, it's better to put your answers in more of a paragraph format rather than a bullet-point, statement-after-statement style the way you're doing here. Think of it like writing a (very short) high school book report.

2. What brood of Zo'ra is Eek from, and how does that affect their personality? Remember that each Queen has their own colour/hex code that is associated with them. The Zo'rane queens are Vaur, Zoleth, Athvur, Xakt, and Scay.

3. I know it's hard to talk about Vaurcae personalities and backstories since they have such a short lifespan, but it's better if you elaborate on how Eek acts to other people, what their goals are as a living being, how they might interact with members of other broods (you added the C'thur disdain, which is a classic). Also;

This is not quite true. While Vaurcae are usually content to be in their role as they're literally shaped for it, that doesn't mean they can't question it, feel frustrated with it, or dislike aspects of it. Despite this, they have to do it anyway because their Ta told them so.

Good luck with your application!

1. I wasn't really trying to do it bullet-point style but I was typing it out on notepad and the line reached the end of my screen really quickly. 

 

2. Eek is from the Athvur brood and this contributes to its fascination with human media and culture.

3. I imagine Eek as excited to meet new people and learn about them, I think that fits with the Athvur brood and will be good for roleplay opportunities. Eek holds the other Zo'ra queens in high regard. Eek idolizes the Zoleth brood especially as good examples of warriors to aspire to, it is friendy to K'lax Vaurca as well. Eek dislikes the C'thur but would not intentionally do anything to offend their Ta or disparage their queens. 

Thanks for correcting me about the vaurca having doubts and frustrations with their assigned roles.

So sorry for seemingly ignoring this app. I had a terribly busy week, but I've been more than aware of its existence and have read it multiple times.

As it stands, it's really important for me that you expand a bit more on the background. I know this can be really tricky when it comes to Vaurca characters, but it's a requirement by the server. I don't want to deny this app, as I think it has potential, but I do need a little bit more for you to show off that you've learned Vaurca lore. I'll leave it open for the moment with the request that you expand on it a bit more. Maybe talk about Eek's personality, wishes, if it had any friends, etc.

[Cash7800]

Thanks for responding. I'll have that updated by tomorrow.

Actually can I just repost this at a later date with better formatting and more stuff? I'm kind of busy right now and struggling to come up with things.

Sure, you can reapply whenever.
