[Denied] Smokedfish's Tarajan Application

[SmokedFish]

BYOND Key: Smokedfish

Character Names: Sam Fincher, Stanford Norton, Sydney Faust, DOCTOR(AI).

Species you are applying to play: Tarajan

What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Grey

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: Because i find their language quirks cute, and while being a different alien race, they are not considered that much "inferior".

I'll be honest, even though it never got me anything but trouble : Purely Visual. I don't care that tarajans are fast, or got claws. I just want to see something cute.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Again , sentient species are always interesting to play as. A different culture/origin.

A different aesthetic.

Character Name: Asra Al-Hamdan

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

Asra's parents grew tired of their war-torn planet and emigrated, spending their lives aboard various Ships and Stations.

They we're safe now, but had menial jobs and thus decided to spend every thaler on their only daughter's education.

Asra was thus heavily tutored by few, but extremely skilled scientists, Human, Skrell and very few Tarajans.

Small, dusty labs we're her main home. Rarely seeing people that we're not her tutors or Researchers.

The lack of contact with other people made her shy in social situations,

Her academic success attracted a job offer on one of Nanotransen's Stations to provide with chemical research. Her parents believe that they have achieved the greatest thing ever, and that their and their ancestor's sacrifice was not in vain. The little kitten is however, deeply terrified to not dissapoint her parents or her employers, and bears a constant

What do you like about this character? being fairly socially awkward in the past (aaand a bit now) I feel really empathetic towards her.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? Yours truly would rate their roleplay as 7.5 out of 10. The hardest thing i can roleplay is a "Common" person. While I do not want to roleplay as something "special", playing as an ordinary person seems hard.

Notes: If i could put as much effort into my academics as I do on these backstories i might just not fail the entirety of my exams.

I like you, you're nice, as a person. You talk to me a lot in OOC chat, and you're always pretty cool.

But i'm not sure who you play. The one name given here, is not one that i recognise. Do you play any other characters? I tried asking in the server today, but didnt get a response, perhaps you missed it.

You seem like a good person, but its hard to give feedback about your characters, when i'm not sure if i've ever met any

Nanako ; The reason you don't know this character is that it's the name of the tajara he's applying for.

I've played a lot of games with SmokedFish and I've gotten pretty salty at them for some stuff they did, but they're pretty good at what they do.

That being said the background doesn't really feel Tajaran to me (It could be just that it jumps immediately to emigration, even though not every area on the planet is war-torn?) it's also incomplete.

Oh my bad. Well I'm the Station Engineer Sam Fincher, Medical Doctor Standford Norton, Roboticist Sydney Faust, AI DOCTOR, tried to be the Borg L33T.

Used to be Shaft Miner Doug McDorf, but there's too little ore on the asteroids to be worth the effort. Can't be anything in security cuz my pc lags too easily and muh reaction speed is too slow.

I'd suggest adding those characters under the 'Character names' list; That's supposed to be of the characters you already play so people can recognize you if they don't know who plays a certain character.

Fixed, my bad, I'm a derp.

[Nanako]

now that the character list is properly updated, seeing that you're sam fincher was awesome, i love that guy. Loudmouthed, friendly, very noticeable, very good at what he does, and curses like a drunk scot. Definitely someone i like having around, +1 from me

My feedback wasn't noticed but uh, the character background still hasn't finished.

I don't really know if more is there or supposed to be there that I just can't see?

I don't know how comfortable I am with someone who wants to be a Tajaran solely because 'cats r cute'.

You've basically glossed over the lore entirely by citing emmigration. I hate 'but i grew up around humans' Tajaran.

Humans would have shit on you - imagine being black in the Antebellum South. Welcome to your life.

Its worth noting that smokedfish has now indefinitely retired from playing on aurora, and is unlikely to be seen anymore.
