Dreathlord Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 BYOND Key: Dreathlord Character Names: Akex Xavier, Teah Terana, Zed Zanders, James McLoid, Derick Dixson, Granidos Thorman, Flaundra Muelack, Franklin Bourman, and Dante Dextriss. Species you are applying to play: Tajara What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Black and grey Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: 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 specific race: I adore the Tajara race because...in truth I love the furry fandom. On top of that, Tajarans just seem fun to me. The way the interact with people around them, or to other Tajarans. They just seem like a race I'd really enjoy playing Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: In an RP standpoint, the interact with stuff differently. They very much dislike heat, and get uncomfortable with it a lot of the times. Because of their muzzled mouths they have a hard time talking in normal tongue, and so tend to elongate their "R"s. If one is compared to a cat, they become angry and take very much offence to it. Character Name:Tatyana Radomir Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Tatyana's story is a sad one to say the least. She was birth in captivity, on a slave trading ship and was raised there with her mother until she was old enough to eat solid food. At which point her mother was put down due to her age. She was seen as no longer worth carrying. At the age of six (6) she was sold to an abusive owner, who was killed about ten (10) years later by Sol military units. There she was found caged, and scared. One of the units that found her felt bad for her, and decided to try and help her. Her name was Teva Deaze. This is when she was first ever given a name, and the first time she was ever able to actually learn anything. Teva slowly rehabilitated Tatyana. She taught her to write, and read. Taught her stuff about her own race...what little someone from Sol could teach anyways. Slowly Tatyana became a mother figure for Teva. A single woman, who worked in the Sol military. Despite Teva gaining her trust, Tatyana still has a hard time trusting humans, specifically males. Teva was guilty of babying Tatyana, and not making her get over her fear...that was until Teva died during a "work related incident" leaving Tatyana alone. That was about twelve (12) years after Teva finding Tatyana. Now Tatyana being alone, she must learn to cope. She must work in order to eat, and...she wants to be strong. She wants to explore, and meet others of her race...something she hasn't gotten very much experience in doing. So after doing some research, she sent an application off to NT. The one thing she was taught by her mother was how to speak her native language, and Teva taught her everything else. On the day she sent the application, she was somewhere around twenty eight (28) years old. With no memory, or record of her actual birth date. What do you like about this character? I like the idea behind her struggle, and the problems it gives her even today. She is scared and twitchy, and has a really hard time trusting men. She doesn't like people very much, but is driven by the urge to meet others like her. To see how her race is today. Because of what happened to her, working will be hard but luckily she can work. Thanks to Teva anyways. Teva made sure to teach her how to work, and learn. Tatyana has a hard time speaking her mind, due to the fear of punishment that was given by her "Owner" and trusts woman a lot more than men because of Teva. She is still reclusive, and scared yet she is so driven. Both by her own will, and Teva's wish for her to survive and be happy. So she forces herself to be strong and pushes herself to be free from the chains that were around her ankles so long ago. How would you rate your role-playing ability? 8.5 break dancing furries out of 10 Notes: Tatyana does have records, Teva helped her to become a Sol citizen. While Tatyana live with Teva, she research her own language to stay fluent in it. Link to comment

Susan Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I have to admit, the sheer amount of snowflake in the backstory is off-putting for me. I can't make a decision. What I want to know is, how has her history fleshed out her character? I don't want to approve another Tajaran with a super sad tragic backstory, no offense. What impact has these events made on her life, and how does it continue to affect her? Link to comment
