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'm looking to expand my repitoire; this is one of few whitelists I don't have, and I'm looking to expand into it. We don't have enough trees walking around these days.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Diona are probably the most different from standard humans in the sense that they are only vaguely humanoid. They are a collection of plant cells, that form a full bodied-bipedal walking organism, wholly dependant on light for photosynthesis and day-to-day survivial, while also enjoying longevity benefits when immersed in doses of radiation.

Character Name: A Shivering Silhouette Amidst Stars

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

Originally a resident of Venter's Satellite, A Shivering Silhouette Admist Stars lived there for nearly two dozen years, after growing out of nymphhood, originally never having traveled away from it until having been selected for work within the Sol Alliance, and summarily being transferred out of its biomass, and employed and housed in Lowell City, Mars, having been staffed with the city's maintenance department as an apprentice for several years, before finally being deployed into the sewers and lower levels, charged with looking after day-to-day maintenance, working contentedly on the taxpayer's dollar for twenty-odd years, adapting to living with other species and attaining fluency in several humanoid languages.

Due to budget cuts within the city's public works department, numerous technicians were laid off, including A Shivering Silhouette Amidst Stars. After living unemployed for several months within Lowell City, burning off savings attained during their tenure in the public sector for living expenses as long as possible, they set out to leave the system - to New Gibson, Tau Ceti, hoping to find more work with their hands. After a cursory job search, they netted a position within the Nanotrasen Engineering Department, having attained qualifications as an atmospherics and maintenance technician, where they have been employed for eight years.

What do you like about this character? They will be one of my few characters that spent the majority of their life within the Sol Alliance; ironically, as a non-human. Additionally, I've always admired having non-human engineers, and diona look very entertaining for the role, as such, I am looking forward to being able to play as them.

How would you rate your role-playing ability?As I've said in my numerous other applications for species whitelists, I still really don't believe it's my place to judge how well I fit in roles, so I'll leave this open to community interpretation oncemore.

Notes: *Rustle rustle rustle*

EDIT: Somehow I just posted "I" last time. Edited the actual message in.

I've had many rounds with Serv, I hope to have many more. He's a great RPer, and I've seen some great stuff spawn from interactions with him and his characters. Give this man his rustles.

Hello hello!

As far as your app goes - it's plain and simple, I like it.

I will be coming back here on Wednesday, April 6th. You may post once per round, in OOC, a link to this application to get feedback.

Ta-ta!

I think that Serveris is a very good roleplayer and knows how things work. I fully support him for getting the DIonae whitelist. There really needs to be an increase of DIonae on the server. I rarely see even one on station at peak hours.
