Arvak Morekborn's Unathi application

[Arvak Morekborn]

BYOND Key: Arvak Morekborn

Character Names: Whispering Willow, Anna Alvasdottir, Willard VarArtre, HUGINN-001

What color do you plan on making your alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt) : Beige/ Light brown

Species you are applying to play: Unathi

Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes, I have.

Why do you wish to play this specific race?:

After shadowing some Unathi for more experience on the race, be it in either RP or whilst observing, I've gotten a stronger feel for the Unathi race as a whole. Their warrior-culture is still extremely attractive to me as it is fairly compatible with the culture of my ancestry along with the staunch tradition that unathi carry within themselves. The personalities that arise from the aforementioned social structures are incredibly fascinating and appealing to me, and I would be happy to personally develop one.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:

Along with the various racial traits that will change my normal behavior, the social behaviours of the Unathi that I have observed are certainly vastly unique from that of Humans and other races.

Name: Vengar Ra'iaxka

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

Born into a minor clan on Moghes, Vengar was one of the three children born to his parents, and was the only male. Trained in the ways of combat and honour by his father, Vengar spent the majority of his early life in the clan's holdings. On his 21st year of life, he made the decision to leave his home. His fierce thirst to carve a path in his life beyond the cramped walls of his clan's home led him to go on a pilgrimage across Moghes. With leave from his father, Vengar set off in no particular direction in search of anything that could fulfill him.

Along the line of his travels, Vengar met with a caravan en route to Skalamar. He took the opportunity, and joined with them. After many days of hard travel, and fending off the wilderness, they arrived at their destination. Vengar wandered the city, searching much like he had when he had been outside of it, and eventually came upon an NT hiring troupe. He signed on, and was shipped from Moghes in the following week.

He seeks to further his saga through service to Nanotransen, and hopes to claim glory for himself in it's service.

What do you like about this character?:

Being able to build on a saga for Vengar as something to have pride in is something that will be fun for me. I love recounting stories, and Vengar could potentially become some sort of loremaster for his own exploits when he grows old on the station.

Seeing as he is still fairly young, Vengar could also take the initial path of one of my other characters, and seek tutelage under an elder that he could look up to. The wide availability of initial character development upon the station is appealing along with many of the other things that always come with making a new character. I'm extremely excited to get started with solidifying Vengar's personality, and seeing how it turns out due to the influences on him within the station throughout his service there.

How would you rate your role-playing ability?:

I'd say i'm a fairly good roleplayer, but I certainly have some kinks that could do with working out. If time is a testament to my skill, i've been roleplaying on various games/forums for over 4 years now, and i'm a huge fan of roleplaying in almost every aspect and form, and have been playing exclusively on Aurora for just a bit over a year now.

I'm Crazytoast, a new player. I joined on Thursday (I think, it was not earlier than Tuesday), and I've met a variety of players over the past few days. It's been an exciting, enthralling experience to be with all of you and to meet all of these people and find out all of these exciting things and bla bla bla I'm really having fun.

to the point, I'm saying all of this because Arvak is one of the people to make a powerful impression upon me. Ike709 was my mentor and guided me with his shenanigans and fun, the player of Ivensky (sp?) also drove a wonderful impression upon me with an officer I recognize each and every time. And countless medical staff, Nanako, Miller, et cet era, so many wonderful people I've met. But Anna, Arvak's character.. she stuck with me. She left a deep impression within me moreso than any other character.

She came to the Medbay, asking to speak to a psychiatrist. Miller had left, so Aerianna offered to speak with her, and they opened up the office, closed the windows, and chatted. For around twenty minutes about the events that had happened that shift. It was a beautiful discussion, something that opened up Aerianna's emotions and guided Anna's. It was one that provoked a deep emotional response within me as a player. Aerianna has been through so much, reacting to the world around her and saving lives... but this was the first experience to leave me feeling with a warm, powerful feeling in my heart. I sat there, even messaged them to thank Arvak for the roleplay.

I have confidence in Arvak's ability to roleplay this character properly. Someone with a drive, a goal to prove themselves.. it's a valuable, impressionable thing to observe them struggle and move forward in the world. Both the player and the character concept have my vouch for it~

*Gently steps off soap box and skitters away.*

I like all of Arvak's characters that i have met and Arvak's roleplay ability is very good from what I can tell. I like that you shadowed some well-established Unathi characters to get an idea of how things usually go. You backstory is a little barebones but not too bad. I am going to give this application a +1.

Also, if you could, fix your formatting. It is a little hard to read.

[Nanako]

Do you pick awkward surnames just to make it more difficult for me to be polite?

Detective Willard "CamelCase" VarAtre is one of my most regular visitors in medbay, he's often seen picking up his dexalin prescription, and i'm often seen frantically trying to do the necessary bureaucracy to get it to him. He's often the first person I call when something's strange in my neighborhood, or there's an invisible man sleeping in my bed and stealing my radio. He's always there to help, too, and has saved my life through direct intervention on quite a number of occasions

Willow was a very awesome person to have around too, slow and helpful, i liked him. I didn't know you were Anna Alvaslookhowlongmynameisdottir too, i can never type the whole thing. I should get to know her better, though she always seems to drop in when i'm surrounded by the dying, and can never talk.

Great person, definitely +1 from me. I miss willard too <3
