Owen Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 BYOND Key: YouJustGotOwened Character Names: Valorallen Vitellia, Ilena Romanescu, Aefia Vitellia, Ri’Kistae Sahir, Zavi Sahir, Ciri Sahir, One Who Walks With Rain, Shadow Of The Stars Species you are applying to play:Skrell What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt):Light Blue? ((I like to try a lot of the colors but this is most likely it)) 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: Because ever since the new Skrell lore update that Frances made I have become more interested in the Skrell. I have noticed a lot more Skrell players since then and think I could make some interesting characters if I received the Skrell whitelist. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The Skrell are the most accepted race by the Humans so they are treated pretty fairly compared to the other alien races. The thing that makes them the most different is their ability to master many skills since they live for such a long time (450 when assisted). Skrell are also a highly intelligent race who strive for knowledge more than war. Character Name: Eurail Qu-Tup Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Born on Qerrbalak, Eurail Qu-Tup was born almost 250 years ago. She was one of the earlier Skrell to announce their trust in Humanity and active in voicing her opinion in trusting them as a species. In her younger years she went to school to learn advanced medicine and surgical techniques. She worked on in a medical facility on Qerrbalak for almost 30 years until she had enough money to become educated in Management and Leadership courses. She then was sent out on a ship to a colony that was close to the then unknown humans. When she arrived there, she was given a leadership role on the colony. She was a advanced medical doctor who was able to lead the workers who were assigned to her. During her time there she continued working for the Medical Facilities on the planet while advancing her education further in other fields. This continued until about the time humans were discovered and eventually trusted enough where the Federation started to allow the Skrellian citizens to start to work with the humans. Eurail, picked up an interest with the colony of Biesel that was located in Human space and the mega-corporation that was surrounding the planet called Nanotrasen. She was then offered a job by Nanotrasen due to her advanced knowledge in many fields. What do you like about this character? In my mind she is a strong leader and very intelligent. She is very accepting to new races that are discovered and quick to put her trust into them. I am liking how she is turning out so far. How would you rate your role-playing ability? 7/10 I still have a bunch of things that I can improve on but I believe that I am a pretty strong roleplayer. Notes: I will say this, my backstory for this character is not very strong at all at this time. I will continue to evolve her story as I get more familiar with the Skrell as a race and how things work. Eventually I hope to add more definite dates and probably rework a lot of it. Also, please point out anything that you feel isn't right with the application or something I should change about my roleplay.
Xelnagahunter Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 I certainly vouch for Vittelia. Owen has displayed a great apptitude for roleplay in my several interactions with him with various characters. I think he has the mindset to play something like the skrell and to do it justice. I support this and I wish you luck Owen.
Saintsbury Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 To be honest I somewhat dislike Valorallen Vitellia, but I really liked Ri’Kistae Sahir, knows how to behave as Tajaran, but still strong independent character. Roleplays nice and just has the Tajaran flaire I still lack. +1 From me. //Edit: I really like his roleplaying style, I just dislike the particular character. Just to clarify that.
Eliot Clef Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 I've seen enough of Valorallen and Aefia to be reasonably impressed. I'm sure he'll do justice to Skrell. +1
Redfield5 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 This guy is a catbeast sympathizer, and he'll ruin our children. That being said, I have the utmost respect for Owen, and Vitellia. +1
Blingx3 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I have interacted with alot of his characters and enjoyed all of the RP we had. the application looks great and well written. I don't see any reason to NOT give him skrell. +1
Guest Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I honestly adore this guy, he is my paperwork buddy. His play as Heads is unmatched and he is an awesome member of the community. +1
Frances Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Oh, my. I would certainly like to see more Skrell heads. Sorry if the Skrell lore is a bit lacking for backstories. I've had my mind somewhere else regarding the lore but I should definitely get to expanding Skrell fluff this week. Speaking of which, if you're interested in writing your own fluff articles for the Skrell (maybe you have an idea for a cool new planet or faction your character could originate from?), you are very much welcome to submit a suggestion or send me a PM. I'm inviting pretty much everyone to write as there's a lot of ways people can get very creative with a technology-oriented race. But even if you don't, well... I'd feel bad not approving this. So have fun with the race, and feel free to drop by the lore forums if you want to discuss the Skrell anytime!
