Yoshifan360 Posted March 1 Posted March 1 BYOND Ckey: Yoshifan360 Discord username: Yoshifan360 Character names: Ellis Cliff, Cayden Metzer, Janicelle Clarke, a few others. Species you are applying to play: Diona / Dionae ------------------------------ General Whitelist Requirements What colour do you plan on making your first alien character?: A darker, almost forest green. Have you read the lore pages for the species you wish to be whitelisted for?: Yes, of course. 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 generally believe that some lore on Aurora is a bit too war-torn and militaristic for my tastes. I feel like Diona are generally without much war, which I believe to be great. In my opinion, some species' lore (Especially Tajara and Unathi, to me) have too much (for lack of a better word) grimdark-ness. It feels sometimes to me that the setting is trying a bit too hard to be "dark and gritty" and I feel like Diona are a nice break from that. What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: Diona have very different values to that of a human. Diona generally value peace, cooperation, and unity over other species' values. In addition, you need to think a lot more about how their mind might work than for a human, or even a human character with a mental disorder. Due to Dionae being a gestalt, you need to think about how each nymph in the gestalt would build towards the main character of the gestalt itself. Plus, due to Mindtypes, you need to consider that when playing or creating a Diona. ------------------------------ Character Application Character Name: Shifting Wind On The Crumbling Castle Write a backstory for your character. This may include their origin, education, personality and how they arrived to the SCCV Horizon. (2 paragraphs minimum) Castle, a Medio gestalt, was created in 2421, in The Narrows. They worked as a 3rd Octave engineer in the C-Block. They, when originally grown, were a 1st Octave worker. Through hard-enough work due to their enjoyment of the profession, they were able to work their way up to the 3rd Octave, where they still sit. As a First and Second Octave worker, during their Coeus years, they worked for one of their Major Fourth Octave supervisors, helping with basic, mundane tasks. Eventually, when they graduated to become a Third Octave, they continued to help their Major supervisor, albeit with more important tasks than they did as a Second Octave. Despite growing in The Narrows, they ended up not adhering to the Iron Eternal. Even hearing a sermon lead by a Third Octave Iron Eternal follower from the D-Block, they ended up following Orthodox Eternal in their later years. They arrived to the Horizon in a complicated affair: Their Fourth Octave supervisor and then friend, had a position open for someone to represent the Narrows in the SCC, working for Hephaestus Industries. Due to the personal relationship between Castle and their supervisor, they went into a course with an elder worker on the Narrows to learn Tau Ceti Basic. After a year or few learning there, they were sent to work with Hephaestus, and were stationed on the Horizon due to their work behavior and ethic on the Narrows. How has the recent events of the Orion Spur impacted your character? Events such as the Phoron Scarcity, the Solarian Collapse or even the Invasions of Biesel for interstellar-wide affairs, while region-specific events such as the Peacekeeper Mandate, The Titan Rises or even Cold Dawn may impact your character. (1 paragraph minimum) The recent Solarian Election has led to Castle fearing for the wellbeing of Hephaestus and Dionae in the Alliance, as Castle has heard about the ideas towards corporations and alien species that Strom follows. Even if Castle isn't a Solarian, they hope that the Dionae that are in the Alliance will manage to live well despite their upcoming, and present position. In addition, the Union of Gla'orr's recent pushes into space travel worry Castle a bit, as they recognize the relationship between Skrell and Dionae, and hope that it shall continue. How does your character view the megacorporation they work for? (1 paragraph minimum) Due to their origin and growth on the Narrows, alongside their close relationship with a fervent supporter of Hephaestus, their supervisor, they ended up believing Hephaestus to be a great corporation, and a friend of the Narrows, and Castle themself. They also believe that Hephaestus was, in a way, partly responsible for their growth. They hope that someday, Hephaestus might expand the Narrows into an entire fleet, and wishes to return and support the Narrows again, if something like that were to ever happen.
Caelphon Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Hi there. Apologies for the delay. Spoiler 1. How does the Eternal have an impact on your Dionae? 2. What is the origin of your gestalt's name?
Yoshifan360 Posted March 8 Author Posted March 8 1. Castle has been, since they've learned of it, an adherent to Orthodox Eternal. It helped inspire them to take the opportunity to go on the SCCV Horizon, as the Orthodox Eternal appreciates memories unique opportunities shared to others. It has also led to them wanting to, at some point, take a voyage to the Eternal Temple, to listen to a sermon by Connected to the Blossoms Beyond. Their medical notes also require them to, upon death, be absorbed or sent home to the Narrows to be absorbed by another Orthodox Dionae. 2. Shifting Wind on the Crumbling Castle took their name due to their history with the Narrows. The "Shifting Wind" represents themself, and their changing position in life. The "Crumbling Castle", refers to The Narrows, and how the ship remains notably in poor condition in some places.
