Demonofthefall Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) BYOND Key: Demonofthefall Character Names: Ava Kalashnikova (Surgeon) How long have you been playing on Aurora: couple weeks or so Species you are applying to play: Unathi Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: I sure have 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: I like the idea of playing as a giant space reptile as it would offer new roleplaying opportunities and I am a big fan of Unathi. I want to make a character who works in security as a warden or officer and I feel a Unathi security officer would be fun to play as. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Unathi use a lot of body language to communicate with each other and they refer to each other on a last name basis unless they are close friends, family etc.The way Unathi treat Females is quite different to other Aliens and will provide new roleplaying situations. Why does this species in particular hold your interest? I want to play as an gigantic serpent creature Warden/security officer who communicates in a series of grunts and short sentences as it would be a lot different to playing as a Russian surgeon. I always liked the Unathi race and enjoyed playing as them over the other races you can choose from. I have played as a Unathi a lot on other servers and I think I can play one well. Character Name: Vulcan Laz'a'rus Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Vulcan Laz'a'rus was born into a tribe of nomadic water merchants who live in the very hottest regions of Moghes. They would travel from city to city selling water to the locals in exchange for supplies like food and weaponry. These Unathi merchants were trusted by all who met them because of their high quality merchandise and the many acts of kindness they would preform. Known as a peaceful tribe they would often aid lost travellers and act as guides for anyone wanting to navigate the vast deserts of Moghes. Each Family has their own caravan and Vulcan would act as one of the guards, riding along side this families caravan on a Sissalik. Vulcan is a Unathi of few words, he only communicates through a series of grunts, short sentences or giving single word responses although he is known to talk more when using his native language. This may give people the idea that he may not know much Sol common but this is untrue, he prefers to keep communication short and to the point. He holds a strong belief in giving respect and trust to everyone but if his trust is broken it Is extremely difficult to earn back. Not one for telling lies or deception he will give anyone who wishes to hear it his most honest and most times blunt opinion. Vulcan willingly follows orders from those in positions of power and people he considers his superior unless it is something that would break his moral code, dishonour him or his family. He sees showing emotions like anger, affection and sadness as a sign of weakness and attempts to hide his feelings which leads some to believe that he does not have feeling. Vulcan brought great honour to his family when he was offered a job joining NT's security division and after many years serving as a cadet he was promoted to officer. What do you like about this character? He's a lot different to my other characters and will provide some unique roleplaying experiences. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I think it is fine, my spelling and grammar could use some work. I feel I will be able to play a convincing Unathi. Notes: Completely rewrote the character to make him much more honourable character who would fit in easier on the station. Thankssssss for reading ^_^ Edited October 14, 2014 by Guest
Gollee Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) That sounds a whole lot better, and a lot more reserved than most of the Unathi I see on station. +1 Edited October 13, 2014 by Guest
Witt Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 -1 NT would definatly not hire them expesially given how your Unathi was introduced to NT. Unathi as a spieces are a highly honor bound people who would never treat prisioners like that as the more honorable option is killing them in combat or refusing to fight. Also, I have never seen you on server, so you should work on becoming known before you run for an app
witchbells Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Noooooo. -1. Unathi are not a beastial, blood-thirsty race of killers. They have strict codes of honor and tradition. An abusive jailor would have no place in unathi society, nor would he find himself working with NanoTrasen.
Demonofthefall Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 after reading all the comments I realize it probably wasn't my best idea so I rewrote my application
Guest Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 That's better. +1, I might see good roleplay from you.
Tainavaa Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 I'll support this, I had fun roleplaying with Ava in all sorts of situations and I feel that Vulcan wouldn't like Tina at all. That could be fun!
Guest Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I like the simple but adequate depth you gave to the origin, family and homeworld as well your desire to play not just a different species but a different emotional/mental style of character in general. There's enough room for development of character without being bland, and certainly isn't overwritten. All in all I'd like to give this character a chance to enter the station and exist. +1
Nanayanyanya Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 +1 for antisocial space lizards, but in all seriousness Demon is good rper, and now that their backstory for lizard is fixed and it actually makes sense for NT to hire it I see no reason not to +1 it.
Witt Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Given your new backstory, I am going to remove my -1 vote from earlier.
Demonofthefall Posted October 20, 2014 Author Posted October 20, 2014 Going to bump this before its forgotten
Lessick Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 As backstory has been updated to better fit the lore and feedback has been positive since, the initial -1s are no longer relevant. Application accepted.
