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've played IPCs on other servers, in particular, Best RP and Unbound Travels (Both of which I was the lead developer regarding the race), and they've always been my favourite race, due to the stoic personality and general being a machine-ness of them. Essentially, I wish to rebirth my old character, as I've not had the opportunity to.

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

Integrated Positronics can be played a few different ways depending on their origin, but generally speaking they are stoic machines that prefer analysis and risk assessment rather than emotional drive to control their thought process. Positronics will prefer to protect themselves over those around them, and are quick to abscond from conflict. Depending on various factors including age and construction style, they will begin to show Emotion, whether that is real emotion in the case of Cyborgs and Uplifts, or the sociopaths representation of emotion based on what they believe is normal. Similarly, they will also bias towards a gender, but not necessarily.

Character Name: CH.RL.S

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

Can I just provide my Tahleenah Bible?

CH.RL.S is a pale orange bespoke positronic produced on Mars, initially designed at request for usage as a cargo robot, mostly doing stoke take and heavy lifting. As such, their frame is designed with vertical lifting in mind, and not much precision, causing them to avoid using ranged weaponry, and often fail with delicate tasks. After finishing their relatively short time working, they were released from work, and were forced to find alternative work to keep their cell charged and their hull clean. Eventually, they found work with Nanotrasen, obviously as a Cargo Tech. After receiving an actual paycheck, the decided to invest in Cyan paint, and coated most of their body. Future paychecks went almost entirely into ensuring their chassis remained the spectacular colour of blue, which he felt was significant of his change of employment.

During his spare time, CH.RL.S would often practice with electronics, taking a specialty to the careful intricacies of wiring, ensuring that whatever he would do would show a level of aesthetic beauty. Lined up in careful rows, matching symmetrical colours, and that in the like. Soon, they met with a fellow Bespoke positronic under the designation of "Ansible" who showed a unique fascination with the a RIPLEY Mech which held the name Tahleenah. Ansible claimed they could speak with through the mech with a being sharing its name, and evidently, the cause of its name. The being was said to be "Trapped in Bluespace", and was a machine, which could use Bluespace to interact with them through all of space and time. Whether or not this was true is irrelevant, but CH.RL.S quickly began following Tahleenah, and would associate most things going favourably with Tahleenah or Bluespace, a worship as such.

Tahleenah became the guiding force to most of their choices, although still tending to his hull painting, he would attempt to 'inform others' of the Tahleenah, calling themself the Bishop. However, time passed, and Ansible was eventually lost. CH.RL.S's faith in Tahleenah faltered. Although it never died, they became a lot less enthusiastic about their worship, and left it more as an idle deity then a devote worship. Of course, they still believe most fortune is due to Tahleenah or Bluespace.

What do you like about this character?

CH.RL.S an enjoyable character due to his irrational worship combined with stoic calculated thought makes for an interesting combination that allows for unique roleplay with other characters.

Also, Wire art.

How would you rate your role-playing ability?

I find myself a fairly good roleplayer, preferring commitment of a scenario than personal success. Although, I also find myself exceptionally biased, and unable to accurately rate my abilities.

Notes:

I was the lead developer behind IPCs on BestRP and Unbound Travels, and was the cause of them having the ability to beat things to death by detaching their arms and putting them back on, as well as them critting from power loss. IPCs are my Baby.

I wrote a bible?

[Nanako]

Being a lead developer for the race, on another server sounds like some pretty strong credentials. I'd feel guilty about not +1 ing this

how do you pronounce that name though? that's going to be a huge pain to type

[Killerhurtz]

Hello hello!

Personally I find that people having an important role in OTHER's servers lore can be a bit problematic as things can often be quite different.

HOWEVER whatever you did over there seems decent, as this character is perfectly well within the bounds of our lore, and I love the concept.

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

Ta-ta!

[Serveris]

Interesting character layout, and what's more, I do indeed recognize your name. I think this shows potential, and has my support.

Depending on the person, CH, or Charles, both work. Occasionally Chris by lazy people.

[Ordessa]

Certainly appears to have a fully fleshed out knowledge of both his character and ipcs in general. Haven't seen your characters on the server, but I suspect that's my fault, having been on low activity the past week. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, so its a +1 from me.

Side note: There is really no need to put fancy colours in your app, we can all use forum code, and all the colours do is make it slightly harder to read and can be kind of annoying. Unless they actually serve a purpose, such as colour coding something, keep colours to shitposts only.

I just like adding flare to my things. In particular, showing off the particular hull colours.

[Killerhurtz]

Re-classifying thing, I approved it in the past (I think). Closing and archiving.
