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?: 

Vaurcae provide an interesting departure from a normal gameplay, both IC and OOC wise.

What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: 

Vaurca (even unbound) are indoctrinated to serve the hive from birth, acces and intertwining of their life with VR also provides a big difference in their perception of time and reality and makes them quite unique from other species. Another difference comes from their upbringing as a species very reliant on their augments to the point of being ashamed of the pre-augmentation era of their species and anything to do with it.

Character Application

Character Name: Ka'Akaix'Kiis K'lax

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

Stemming from Ta’Akaix’Leto’yahkt’zor K’lax brood on Tret, it was born to be an anomalist from the egg stage with its VR education mostly being focused on the thinking part of the xenoarcheology rather than unearthing (though, obviously, it is capable of doing it should the bound be unavailable in remote excavation/exploration sites). From a young age it was very active in VR which later developed into it becoming a delver as a hobby and its fanaticism with the realms, forgotten and not so much, to the point of even entering vibrations from time to time when it is not delving or working in real space.

Seeing SCCV Horizon as great opportunity to complete its purpose of progressing hive's knowledge and potentialy even finding augmentation era artifacts that drifted through space for ages, it was employed as NanoTrasen xenoarcheologist of SCCV Horizon with the help of Vaurca Office of Administrative Services.

Due to Leto's brood influence, the shyness relating to pre-augmentation era of vaurcae does not hit it as much. While it would be very offended and defensive when accused of such heinous activities, it is not ashamed of watching such due to desensitization relating to being heavily invested in vaurca history (in the same way doctors are not affected by seeing blood as much as an average person would). In general, it's personality can be described as inquisitive and curious, if somewhat obsessive and single-minded, though not to a viax degree, more of a workaholic type of deal. When interacting with others it would be described as kind of a reserved nerd unless the topic discussed relates to history in some way, in which case it would talk about it all day if it is not stopped. It is also fascinated with cephalons as a phenomena and inspired greatly by Za'Akaix'Lot K'lax, hoping to become an archivist itself upon reaching afterlife.

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.  

Recents events have definetly sparked its interest, though not without fear and anxiety. Phoron Scarcity is something vaurca have been thinking about ever since exodus and the impure phoron use in the hiveships, while Solarian Collapse's magnitude can be seen similar to The Decline of Zo'ra and interstellar war to great hive war. The history does not repeat, it rhymes, something it knows.

A special place is reserved for the War in Heaven. Being very active in VR, it can see what it is doing to the whole system, causing a lot of strain and instability in the realms due to the sheer magnitude of Xathul Xon. Seeing the whole thing as completely detrimental to the Hives, it is very against the new method of hivenet warfare. Being a historian traditionalist, Zo'raphile Restorationism is what they believe to be right, seeing Hegemony as nothing but a "crutch" to survive through the times of chaos and misery.

How does your character view the megacorporation they work for?

Not much more than a tool to achieve the agenda. Should the corporation's views start diverging from the focus of research and exploration, it would no longer be interested in this cooperation. But that did not happen... /yet/.

Thank you for your application, and your interest in the species. I have a few questions I'd like to ask:

1. Could you elaborate further on why you would like to play a Vaurca?

3. How does Kiis view the other K'lax queens? Has the War in Heaven changed any of these opinions?

4. How has Kiis personally been affected by the Phoron Scarcity?

5. How does Kiis view and interact with other species, especially Unathi?

Thank you for your application, and your interest in the species. I have a few questions I'd like to ask:

1. Could you elaborate further on why you would like to play a Vaurca?

Vaurca have a very interesting change of mentality from other species, working in a very different social hierarchy. Hivenet/VR (and it's time dilation) impact on the individual specimens also provides very interesting implications and venues for roleplay.

2. How openly does Kiis express their Zo'raphile Restorationist views?

I would say it depends on the people it's speaking to. If it is surrounded by those who do not understand the basis behind this ideology and are "lost cause" it will most likely stay quiet in their presence - partially to not spark needless conflict and partially because it would be quite pointless. They would also, most likely, downplay the importance of zo'ra in presence of an average zo'ra akaix to not fuel their baseless (as they are not Ta) superiority complex. They would very much like to discuss it with people open for constructive debates.

3. How does Kiis view the other K'lax queens? Has the War in Heaven changed any of these opinions?

All queens warrant request. While it may not consider them as important as Leto, they no less serve valuable purposes, otherwise they would not be in power. War in Heaven did not make it consider any queen any less important than it was before, as it is obvious that wars, vr or not, are always inevitable and existed for as long as vaurca did. A sad and inseparable part of hives' lives. It is happy, at least, that the peace between the queens lasted so long before.

4. How has Kiis personally been affected by the Phoron Scarcity?

Not much more than anyone else. Mostly everything becoming more expensive which results in lesser margin to send to the hive cell which is sad and probably more fuel for the anxiety for the future of Leto's mission when everything becomes so costly, exploration and extraction of vaurcan artifacts and ancient knowledge will have to stop temporarily to route resources to simple survival.

5. How does Kiis view and interact with other species, especially Unathi?

If we take purely racial component alone, it would consider them fleeting and somewhat primitive as they lack the blessing of VR afterlife and deep databanks of immense uncountable information and technology assembled over the centuries. It would have more respect for the skrell as they are much more knowledgable due to their naturally longer lives and the nlom (which /very remotely/ can resemble something of a natural hivenet to a vaurca i would assume) but the overall sentiment would be the same as they are still mortal (they are not aware of the elegies that some skrell are capable of performing). This would be the reason for the condescending and belittling opinion of the alien species.
When communicating with them, however, it would try to look as respectful as it can to reduce the chance of conflict unless it is a very rare circumstance where conflict can help them in analyzing the alien specimen in question more.
