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: So, I've been playing on this server for some time, and I'm ready for changing things up. I mean, playing the average human is fine, but it's also fun to see what else there is to offer, right? In all honesty, I'm interested in playing the IPC race because of one reason; tabletop. I've recently started a GURPS campaign, and without going into any detail, I'm playing an artificially intelligent robot. I'm looking to replicate that character concept here, a character of massive potential with very limited knowledge. A being with the ABILITY to become whatever it's needed to become, but the knowledge of a newborn. That's what PAL:0S is. Basically, I'm hoping that NT would realize the flexible personality that is PAL:0S and put him to work, in the fashion it was intended.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Within the lore, IPC's are different because of a few different things. First off, they're always created by another race, designed. Either they're made by an entity, or a group of entities. Or, in some cases, they simply find consciousness within the vast pool of code that is the interstellar internet.

Character Name: PAL:0S

This stands for Positronic Artificial Lifeform, possessing designation; "0S". Pronounced, phonetically as "Pay Lows."

Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs

The PAL project originates with its designer Kevin Mann, an employee under Seabra Robotics, a very small collective that specialized in the creation of robotics that would aid humanity. This group is unknown to most, because of the majority of failures regarding the creation of its limited research subject. Eventually, Kevin Mann, backed by Seabra would go on to produce the PAL line, their first, and only successful AI project. Seabra's assets were ultimately bought out by NT.

PAL:0S is the result of constant revision and experimentation. PAL:0S is the nineteenth revision on the PAL line ("0" being the alpha line, and "S", following numbering of alphabetical letters, is the 19th of that line.) This creation is one of the first to be that of functioning capability, created with limited emotional parameters, and enhanced learning capabilities. PAL:0S is the embodiment of what Kevin Mann dreamed of, the very pinnacle of his ideal life form. Unfortunately, the company became bankrupt. This forced the collective known as Seabra to sell off their assets to whoever would buy them. Fortunately for the bit of code that was PAL:0S, this buying entity was NanoTrasen.

PAL:0S's beginning parameters are that of construction and emergency repairs. He is currently qualified in matters involving the repair of station systems and electronics.

What do you like about this character?

This character concept is one of great potential, as stated above. Once deployed (Deployment being defined as first activation), the personality takes on its assigned role. From there on, it will begin to take in data from its surroundings, and adjust its performance based upon what its experienced. PAL:0S plays as if a newborn was fast-tracked through childhood, to adulthood in a matter of a few years. This concept, coupled with the idea of playing an emotionally undeveloped, neutral entity is a genuinely exciting prospect.

How would you rate your role-playing ability?

I'd rate my own roleplaying ability highly. Whenever I'm in a session of tabletop, I'm always commended on how I can always stay in character, no matter my character concept.

Notes:I understand that my character, Jimmy McFly may have an abrasive personality, but please do not let that impact your decision. I implore you to judge me based on the content of what's being presented.

Hey!

I've reviewed your application, and I find nothing immediately wrong with it.

So do two things for me:

1. RAVIOLI RAVIOLI GIVE ME THE PASSWORDI

2. Advertise your app in OOC, once per round, to get reviews.

I'll be coming back to this app on Tuesday.

[Chada1]

Alright, so I've roleplayed with Jimmy, and seen PAL:OS around as a Cyborg/AI once or twice, I think. but my impression of Jimmy was rather negative, and not ICly, In OOC. From what i've seen he's the type of Security, (Don't know if it's intentional or a character trait, or if like most Security players you're just de-sensitized.) that rushes into combat without any fear whatsoever. My impression of PAL:OS was good. But it was rather brief. The application is well done IMO.

This is my opinion at this time, after I roleplay with Jimmy/your other characters more it'll probably change-- I don't have much experience RPing with you and only go off of what I've seen/read here. And I might've just came in at the wrong time and saw the bad side of Jimmy.

Like you asked, I judged you by PAL:OS and not Jimmy/Violet Mcfly.

I +1.

Thanks for taking the time to review, man!

I intentionally play Jimmy as the daft type, I created him when I first joined, and that's how he's developed as a character. I stated the warning about Jimmy because he's got a love-hate type thing about him. Either people love him, or hate 'em. Partly because whenever Jimmy identifies someone as a jerk, or sees that they're a bit too stiff, he'll start trying to push buttons. Just a bit of explanation on 'em. His sister Violet is the opposite. She's a tad eccentric, but always tries to be on the good side of everyone.

Since I play Jimmy the most, I fear people will mistake his personality for a lack of capability on my part, which is why I feel the need to explain myself.

[SleepyWolf]

Jimmy's a babe so I gotta say +1

now gib that password out babe

[LemonTheFruit]

Oh. Password is brass bilberry. Woops.

[Blingx3]

Jimmy is one of the few characters I dislike on the Aurorroroa, he left many bad tastes in my mouth during our many interactions.Perhaps his personality is ment to be this way, and it just didn't play out well, I don't know. I just want assurance that if you play a head of staff position that you will keep the Jimmy personnality away, because I can't see a way it will be any good in such position.

[UnknownMurder]

I'll keep it brief.

• Jimmy is the most used character, Lemon uses, but that's not a fault. It's just that I haven't seen your other characters.
  
• Jimmy McFly tends to swap his jobs around, it's confusing to know Jimmy was a Quartermaster, then a Security Officer, then a Detective, and so on. It tends to lack roleplay.
  
• Jimmy has Immaturity and breaking Corporate Regulations as Officer occasionally. I don't think you should have the IPC Application for that purpose unless you can step up your game.
  
• PAL:OS seems to be an AI that was quickly made up for the Application. I have never seen or noticed PAL:OS. Or, that's just me.
  
• You are very well dislikes among the Head of Staffs because you get in troubles with them, trying to show high dominance.

 

I can't trust you on the content provided due to my experiences with Jimmy. That's not how the way it works. People are judged on the content provided and experiences with your RP characters; or at least I do. I'm sorry, -1. I hope you understand.

Also, Bling. This is an IPC Whitelist.

As stated, I'm not applying for a head of staff position. I will assure you though, that the personality of PAL:0S will, by nature, be entirely different than Jimmy, or any of my other characters.

In regards to this, I understand how you feel. Though I have entirely roleplayed out how Jimmy has gained his skills. All are from extended periods in internships, and vocational education. I've actually put him through cadethood before becoming an officer, I've put him through engineering apprenticeship, and all that jazz. On a side note, I've never played him as a quartermaster. He's not a leader, at all.

As for the lack of roleplay, unfortunately, you being Alex is the disadvantage here. I extensively roleplay as Jimmy, and the people who are more likely to see this roleplay are those that Jimmy gravitates toward. Otherwise, his interactions will be snarky, or (unless they entertain him,) brief.

I won't spoil anything about my extended character flaws here, but through extended roleplay, players HAVE seen what makes Jimmy tick. He's not just an excuse for being a dick.

I've probably been rambling, but still, just some more explanation.

PAL:0S is supposed to be an original character in any case, it'll be an offshoot of my borg/AI, but they will NOT be the same. The name is just something that's stuck with me.

[Killerhurtz]

I'm honestly ambivalent right now, so unless you have objections, I'm extending the evaluation to Thursday.

[LemonTheFruit]

I'm honestly ambivalent right now, so unless you have objections, I'm extending the evaluation to Thursday.

I'm excited to get started with my character, but I don't want to rush anything. If you feel the need to postpone judgement, I understand. However, I'm also fine with a decision based on what's currently presented. Basically, do whatever you'd like to. I'm fine with anything, and I'm confident that things will work out. I've put enough effort into what I'm applying for, that I'm not too anxious about what the outcome will be.

[Owen]

You are saying that you want us to trust you that your other characters are not all like Jimmy. I suggest this, play your other characters more so we know you are telling the truth. If people only ever see your one character and you tell them not to judge the application on them, you are either not going to get many responses or some from the few that know your other characters.

I am willing to give you a chance if I see your other characters ingame being roleplayed well and different like you claim they are. If I was going to vote now, purely on what I have seen from the characters that I have experienced, it would be a definite -1. It just doesn't even seem like you are trying with your character, he moves gets overly angry to the point where if this was real, I doubt they would even be hired anymore.

Like I said, giving this a chance until I see your other characters ingame. Just keep that in mind.

[Dreviore]

So my big issue is I've only ever interacted with your Android and that was as Aurelia being the station AI, and you never really interacted with me.

As a station bound Android you are expected to communicate with your AI about what you're doing, even if you're not bound, the least you could do is talk to the AI and ensure it knows you're not doing things that count end with the crew blaming the AI for being rogue.

Now I can't comment on your other characters because frankly I've never seen them.

[UnknownMurder]

Oh boy, thanks for the aggressive feedback. Let me just make things clear for you and the audience.

I am sure I have seen Jimmy McFly as a Cargo Staff, whether Miner or Cargo Staff.

 

As for the lack of roleplay, unfortunately, you being Alex is the disadvantage here. I extensively roleplay as Jimmy, and the people who are more likely to see this roleplay are those that Jimmy gravitates toward. Otherwise, his interactions will be snarky, or (unless they entertain him,) brief.

So, it's about me now? It's my fault? No. This is YOUR whitelist, we're talking about YOUR character. I have never applied to be an IPC. I should remind you again that the Command Staffs hates your character.

 

I won't spoil anything about my extended character flaws here, but through extended roleplay, players HAVE seen what makes Jimmy tick. He's not just an excuse for being a dick.

Please clarify. I am interested in this. What makes Jimmy tick off is a excuse to be a dick, but not himself to be a dick?

 

I've probably been rambling, but still, just some more explanation.

PAL:0S is supposed to be an original character in any case, it'll be an offshoot of my borg/AI, but they will NOT be the same. The name is just something that's stuck with me.

 

Okay. We still haven't seen them for a long time. You tend to frequently use Jimmy McFly over all your characters. Since, my other statements still remains not to be noticed or unanswered. Staying at -1. I'm out.

Also, Owened and I are talking about the same thing about you but in a different tone. You're too focused on Jimmy McFly. It's obvious.

I apologize if you took anything of what I said to be accusatory.. I'm sensing upset, and I'm sorry that you feel that way.

I was under the impression that people liking me as a person was irrelevant. The only thing that should matter in this setting is my ability to roleplay, and my knowledge of the role I'm applying for. I understand that you may not have experienced my extended roleplay, which is basically what I was getting at. In addition, if this is going to be based on how people think about ME as a person, and how people view Jimmy, as opposed to my knowledge of this role, I'm never going to be able to successfully get approved for any whitelists. I've got an abrasive personality, and I can recognize that. BUT I also pride myself in my ability to roleplay in a manner that doesn't necessarily have to connect me to my character in all aspects. I can be a different person if that's needed. That's what I want to do with PAL:0S.

On another note, that post is not an attempt to sway your opinion, I respect your opinion, as it is valid. I'm merely trying to explain myself for other people, and shed light on my case.

[Blingx3]

Then I should propably stop writing replys when I get up from bed.

[GoodGuyCap]

I play a bit on this server and have had a few moments of RP with you as all your characters. +1, haven't had any issues and enjoyed the times we RP'd.

[Ricky_the_banshee]

I'm familiar with his character Jimmy. Jimmy is an asshole, complaints alot over the Security channel and causes fights over the common channel. If you see Jimmy walking through the hallways, the urge to punch him instantly gets real. +1

[Nanako]

Lemon played a pretty interesting ninja the other day

Not a GOOD ninja, granted. But i can't fault him for his lack of powergaming. He was a fun spook

+1

[Killerhurtz]

SO, I have come to a judgement.

Unfortunately, at this time, I will need to decline your application - I feel that what people have reported feels off, and I fear that you may not be an ideal applicant for an IPC. I have no guarantee you will play it well.

But don't fret - play some more, get your other characters out there - ones that don't leave a bad taste in players' mouth - and you're free to resubmit an application as early as March 25th.

Locking and archiving. PM me if there are questions, comments or anything else you wish to communicate.
