Discord username: master_ambrose

 

Character names: Machinist Rejuvenation Of Melted Rust, Cadet Ayden Reiten, Officer I-17-Cuth-sithe

 

Species you are applying to play: Tajara

 

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

 

General Whitelist Requirements 

 

What colour do you plan on making your first alien character?: Taupe

 

Have you read the lore pages for the species you wish to be whitelisted for?: Yes, I have read the NKA pages, PRA pages, some of the DPRA pages, and the Tajara religion pages along with other similar pages aswell as many articles, I have worked to incorporate some of that into my whitelist.

 

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 personally quite enjoy the ideas presented by a more technologically young and rapidly advancing species, it is struggling to adapt to this new realm with the conflicts of the first revolution and the second one having just finished recently, I also think their species race class conflict is, in passing, atleast interesting surface level.

I also REALLY like the religions which are a part of tajaran culture, it feels a bit more organic than most we have and I could see an actual person believing in it.

 

What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: Well, there is a few standouts such as the second perspective in how they talk, though I personally think it is a relatively minor albeit front facing aspect of the species compared to the omnipresent race classism embedded in their species by the plutocracy and how this affects the character and their job opportunities as well as socialisation though this would not be as apparent to a human meeting a average tajaran given it is mostly a internal affair not as obvious as the body difference of vaurca or the apparent age of dionae. The political system also takes a large impact on how a tajaran might choose to act whereas for humans they are able to much more freely express opinions and are for the most part not at war with each other modern day.

Character Application

 

Character Name: Annissim Zima

 

Write a backstory for your character. This may include their origin, education, personality and how they arrived to the SCCV Horizon. 

 

Zima was born 01/03/2441 to a Hharar family of three in the Nraz'i Basin, the family in question being highly indoctrinated in Hadiist ideologies as the extreme majority of the population is. This fostered a strong admiration and fascination between the hadiist party and Zima dedicated themselves primarily to the studies and school, working to become much like the Hadiis they admired, respected and well-learned.

They showed high promise in their younger years in high-school and college, being top of their classes and a loyal Hadiist, they soon became enamoured with Visionary Hadiism, the sleek promises of a future free from constraints bound by evolution and the plutocracy’s caste system, and a Adhomi united under the guiding hand of the People’s Republic destined to conquer the stars.

Unfortunately this did not exactly bare much fruit in future despite his efforts, even with their acceptance into the Hadii institute of orbital research in a degree for mechatronics in 2459, a great achievement in the eyes of their family and former peers, they were falling behind their peers and this was only further exacerbated by the death of their older sister, 19 at the time, in the second civil war a year prior.

He found it difficult to continue with the war continuing on and the death of their sister, however they managed to graduate 2464 within a hair's length allowing them the ability to find work in the field of robotics and took up work with Nanotrasen as a machinist to maintain their equipment.

He found themself working on the NTV Plover from 19/02/2464 to 10/02/2467, a freighter primarily working with IPCs produced by Nanotrasen and shipping them around the coalition and they were mainly tasked with maintaining the units in case of issues or giving repair to the IPC crew onboard the vessel, this time felt very much like a dead end being away from the PRA and their contact with their family minimal they eventually began to look for a new job, one that valued him.

Hephaestus Industries was a clear choice, offering higher wages and willing to take on anyone willing to work hard, Zima found it hard to resist when the offer to join Hephaestus Industries passed by him and soon after, he had put in their letter of resignation and was assigned to the horizon.

 

Zima’s personality could be described as eccentric in some ways, easily interested in one thing, and then the next, with only some things holding his attention for a long period, he has an interest in hadiist literature and aspire to write like them, however most of his writings do not amount to anything.

 

(2 paragraphs minimum) 

 

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) 

 

He unlike their sister were allowed to stay studying in the PRA while their sister joined the war effort as their family could afford the fee for Zima’s draft, and their sister did well however, in 20/8/2458, their sister died in the siege of Ron’tul hit by a shell impacting near to them, and they were unable to receive medical attention in time.
This loss devastated Zima and almost cost them their graduation from the Hadii Institute of Orbital Research, however they managed to push on, although this event in specific did not directly effect Zima, it has influenced their ideas around war and has cemented their loyalty to Hadiism further.

 

How does your character view the megacorporation they work for?

 

(1 paragraph minimum) Zima at the moment views Hephaestus much more positively than other corporations, Nanotrasen in particular despite it’s strong connections to the PRA. They especially value the focus of robotics in Hephaestus industries, as they view robotics as a key aspect to the advancement of the Tajara and People’s Republic’s victory amongst the other nations.

Hi! Thank you for applying. Just a few questions I would like to ask regarding your character.

1. How does Annissim view the DPRA/ALA and NKA?

2. What religion (if any) does Annissim follow?

3. As mentioned, the death of Zima's sister had affected them insofar as their loyalty to Hadiism and their views on the war. Could you (briefly) expand on how they viewed the war?

Otherwise, you have a well put together application. I can't wait to see your answers!
