Garnascus Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 BYOND Key: Garnascus Character Names: ludwick foreal, J.A.C.K, P.E.R.I, Isaac Taylor. Species you are applying to play: IPC What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: I havePlease 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 IPC because i really enjoy playing synthetic characters. Although sometimes its frustrating not having the use of hands. Playing an IPC lets me still have my love of synthetics while also have a job aboard the station and not have to deal with those annoying non-paladin lawsets! In all seriousness i enjoy the complexity of playing something made in the image of man and struggling with "emotions" and utilizing cold logic. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: As i touched on in the previous question. IPC's are made in the likeness of humans and thus shouldn't be played entirely like one. an IPC would likely rely heavily on logic and the most direct and efficient route to problem-solving. rarely if ever taking emotional pleas into consideration. Mechanically its quite differant. I can have little fear of pain or even death assuming my components are recoverable. Last but not least it will i think open up a great affinity for my RD character that im going to create. Character Name: Thaumiel Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs No great scientific breakthrough is made without significant sacrifice. Richard keen understood this all too well. He started life like many scientists. grew up in a normal home, went to a normal school and graduated with a normal degree in applied energistics. Richard had no lofty visions of changing the world. In fact he often became annoyed by his peers pouring so much energy into LOOKING like a scientist. Sure they would give speeches and these speeches might grant them a substantial amount of funding but did they have the skills to truly change the world? unlikely... Richard keen devoted himself to knowledge, not satisfied with simply holding a degree and boasting about his status at events or begging for funding from government officials. Year after year passed as richard keening bounced from project to project, Sometimes even leading a few smaller ones but he would often lose interest and appoint others in his place. never quite satisfied with what he had learned. As the years dragged on richard became painfully aware of his own condition. He was organic and as such his time was finite. Or at least much shorter than he would like. Nanotrasen could provide richard with what he truly wanted. an IPC body would lengthen his life and drive away these human conditions interrupting his work. they could also provide him with research material and equipment on the very fringe of science. plasma research. the only price would be his eternal service to nanotrasen. Richard eagerly accepted the terms and as his mind was shifted into his new synthetic body he felt more alive than he had ever before. What do you like about this character? I love this characters morally questionable pursuit of science and his insane devotion to detail and progress How would you rate your role-playing ability? I would rate it fairly high since for the most part i try and consider others enjoyment and how my actions will effect them. Notes:
Guest Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Character concept sounds very interesting, but I am not completely sure it's viable according to lore, the transfer of personality from Human mind to IPC core. I'm sure lore devs know better, though. The app itself is well written, and that name, 'Thaumiel', has helped me learns bits of Islamic theology upon searching its origins. Thank you for that. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I would rate it fairly high since for the most part i try and consider others enjoyment and how my actions will effect them. I'll just point, not everyone likes unserious characters and yours might have been described as Lulzy in the past and while this is in no way prohibited to have one, I would like a bit more information on your tought processes concerning them. Don't consider this something you need to fix, I am just interested to see how you think you can manage balancing other players need for a 'Seriouz workplez" and generally lolzy view on the game?
Garnascus Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 http://aurorastation.org/wiki/index.php?title=IPC According to our wiki it says some IPC's can be "cyborgs" or full machines except for the brain so i figured me turning a character into a machine would be fine for the story. Your second point i dont really understand. My characters are mostly serious with the exception of Isaac taylor my captain and HoS. hes blindly loyal to nanotrasen and despises communism in all form. I created him as a poster boy for the morally questionable policies and conduct of nanotrasen and his bombastic and erratic actions reflect this. such as demoting problem employees to "communist sympathizer" or holding interviews for a highly respected "ship wizard" position.

Alright, I get it on the IPC. That change wasn't something I was aware. As for the lulzy bit, it's just something that certain people have various definitions of. Regardless, your reply clarifies it.
jackfractal Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Hi Garn! I think this is an interesting character and you have the unique position of being the first person to apply to play a shell cyborg. If you could tell me the code phrase from the lore page, I'll be happy to approve this application.
