Baguette Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) BYOND Key: Skaterboybob Character Names: Muhammad Aldi, Sean Cromwell, Dr. James Richards, PhD, Booker Craddock Species you are applying to play: IPC/Shell 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?: 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 think the possibility of my character being a Shell would bring some interesting RP, and good motives behind traitor actions Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The fact they dont need to breathe is a big plus to the species, and brings alot of difference when it comes to a room being vented. Another thing that makes them different from Humans is the fact that they are machines, which means they can be easily reprogrammed to do someone else's bidding, which could lead to some interesting traitor motives, as I said before. Character Name: 231-HONDA Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs HONDA is a late model of the Shell IPC. He was created around 3 years ago and was showcased at RoboCon 2454. See Transcript 241-A TRANSCRIPT 241-A "The new HONDA model includes all-new features, Like Synthcorp Synthetic Flesh, 200K Cameras, Plasteel Chasis, and programmable personalities!" *Crowd gasping as HONDA is revealed* "BOOTING CORE SYSTEM... SELECT PERSONALITY." "Now, we have one pre-programmed for this unit, but you can make your own! HONDA, Load personality 234-2." "COMMAND DETECTED. BOOTING FILE 'PERSONALITY_234-2.BAT'... Hello!" "Now, Who wants a HONDA unit?" END OF TRANSCRIPT 241-A What do you like about this character? I find the fact that he can be reprogrammed an interesting roleplay element, as people could completley change the way he acts. Another thing I like is the secrecy that he is, in fact, a Shell. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Probably something like 8/10. Dont want to be too modest, but I dont want to be big-headed, either. There're plenty of people better than me, but nobody better at my roleplaying style than me. Notes: Edited January 26, 2016 by Guest Link to comment
Killerhurtz Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Nnnnno. Let's start from the beginning. First, "Muhammad Aldi"? How were you not banned from having a name that's literally one letter away from being a famous boxer? Second, speculation? Good motives behind traitor actions? Sounds like a weak reason to me. Third, both of the things you mentioned that makes IPCs different from humans are wrong. Fourth, I'd be a dumbass to let you have an IPC named HONDA. I'm honestly surprised you didn't plain try naming it ASIMO. Fifth, a sentence is not a paragraph. Sixth, your backstory gives me exactly zero info on what exactly you plan on playing. Seventh, there's major conflict. Your backstory makes it sound like borderline robot, your intentions seem to make it realistic. Eighth, IPCs are not human+. Ninth, you're missing the password. TENTH YOU BUMPED YOUR POST WITHIN FOUR HOURS OF POSTING IT. It usually takes two days for apps to process. I give you until Friday to correct your sheet and get positive feedback. Only with a sheet I consider acceptable AND at least three positive reviews (advertise your app in OOC on the server). Otherwise, your application will be denied. Link to comment
Owen Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I am giving this application a -1 due to the state of your application and the personalities that I have experienced coming from your characters. One the application is fixed, I may consider changing my vote. Link to comment

Gollee Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Mohammad Aldi is a neurotic bartender or cannibal chef that more often than not ends up in medical, straitjacketted after either trying to eat pun pun, repeatedly giving himself alcohol poisoning, or disposals surfing. I'm going to have to -1. Link to comment

I'm going to have to -1. Yes, he also job hops a lot from what I have seen. Along with acting in ways that would not keep a person like him hired for a very long period of time. I would suggest trying to develop one character to be not very extreme and play them quite a bit so people can experience good roleplay coming from you. My first character was pretty insane so I canned them and created a new character who was developed. Just a suggestion that may help with getting this application accepted. Also, creating a character who is trained in specific things and sticking to those things help quite a bit in my opinion. Link to comment
Jennalele Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 -1, my opinion of your characters very closely mirrors everyone else's here. I have not had a single pleasant experience with them. Link to comment

I have made characters specialised in specific departments and/or jobs, such as Sean Cromwell, the detective, James Richards, who works science and medical, and Booker Craddock, who works supply.

Owen Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Alright, that is good. I will keep an eye out for those characters and then say something here if I feel you can handle a whitelist. Link to comment
