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 want to play as a Skrell considering how interesting they are. Their biology, more specifically their reproductive system, intrigues me. The fact that their head tails, NOT TENTACLES, are what's used, and the fact that they're born in groups can make for interesting scenarios and backstories for characters, perhaps having them as the run of their siblings or perhaps a lone survivor.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Well, the slurring is one thing, along with the fact that you can't just eat anything you find, unlike you could if you were a human. You have to be more careful about what is you choose to eat, and I'd also assume that you'd need to be a little bit more passive than if you were, say, a human. Along with the both of these, Skrell are different with showing their emotion, which could add interesting roleplay as one.

Character Names: Vlasiin and Senaki Klovern

Please provide a short backstory for these characters, approximately 2 paragraphs

Vlasiin Klovern was born on the planet Qerrbalak, and was one of four to survive to adulthood. She spent the majority of her as a young girl running about and playing with her siblings, most notably her sister, Senaki. Vlasiin was a good child, always doing as she was instructed and always doing as much as she could to help out other people. Senaki, on the other hand, often spent her time doing what would benefit herself and her sister.

Vlasiin spent most of her childhood looking up to Senaki, using her as a role model, doing some of the things she did. When she was around age seven, however, she began to change and act her own way. She would often make sacrifices for other people, giving up the things that would give her happiness, however, she found happiness from doing this. The more she began to commit to selfless acts, and the more Senaki began to commit to selfish acts, the more they grew apart.

The Klovern sisters both went to school, one of them finishing with an Engineering degree, the other with a degree in pharmaceuticals. After nearly ten years of not seeing each other at all, they both find themselves working with one another on the NSS Aurora. Vlasiin is a well-respected, hard-working employee, and Senaki is still a selfish person, whom will take the easy way out whenever possible. However, financial issues have come up with Senaki, causing her to begin desperately looking for help, from anybody that will give help...

What do you like about these characters? Their differences. They are practically polar opposites, Vlasiin being the much-loved, kind, and hard working twin, Senaki is rude, not very much liked, and she always tries to find the easy way out of things.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? Honestly speaking, I'd give myself a 6/10, maybe a 7/10.

Notes: we need more jelly people gawsh dangit. Also, I apologize for the crappy, boring backstory, I don't want them to be 2edgy4u, and I suck at writing. Also, I am aware that it was supposed to just be one character I apply for for the alien whitelist, but I just love both of them so much, and I couldn't choose between them.

Answers need to be at least a paragraph long, backstory is a little lacking size wise considering it's for two characters. Fix the answers and I'm willing to accept this.

[SilentNight195]

Fixed 'er up.

[mrimatool]

Much better, accepted.
