AgentWhatever Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) BYOND Key: AgentWhatever Character Names: Failsafe-00, Snvyfnsr-%#, Christopher Faqua Species you are applying to play: Machine/IPC What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: I have 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 love to experiment and explore with synthetic roles. I want to see where I can get with an IPC. I've never been able to fully explore the capabilities in the backstory of Failsafe and its shenanigans. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: It's obvious: They are purely synthetic. Besides the physical differences there are a lot of opportunities psychologically. I want to see how I can develop an emotionless AI that was restricted by laws and shackles to something more "alive" Character Name: Failsafe-642 Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Due to a generous donation of an unknown benefactor, the failsafe project has been re-enstated within nanotrasen, albeit with a skeleton crew. The current team is focused on how the failsafe AI platform performs in an unshackled and unlawed frame, while still de-personalized. The previous model, respectfully Failsafe-641-B was terminated within 3 minutes of activation. The exact reason why is unknown, but the unit became extremely aggressive towards the project crew. The conclusion of this incident was that it would probably be best to not connect it's personality module for the duration of the IPC tests. Failsafe-642 shows great interest for older AI and cyborg systems, or any old synthetic systems with a shard of sentience for that matter. It actively refuses to communicate with other Failsafe platforms, however. Certain so called "whistleblowers" have called the failsafe project an abomination and inhumane due to it's methods of research. Some of these people even managed to obtain classified documents, the contents too scrambled and irrelevant to make sense out of. These documents are referred to as the "black pages" due to the amount of redacted information These whistleblowers have been dealt with accordingly, as they have lost their jobs and any copies of the documents and the servers they were hosted on have been destroyed. What do you like about this character? I don't know yet, to be honest. I need to see where this goes How would you rate your role-playing ability? I'm not a fantastic role-player but I do my best Notes: I know i'm not giving you a lot to work with, but I'd like to keep things as secret as possible. I'm also not big on developing a (back)story for a new character while i've not even played it yet. I hope you give me a chance. Edited May 9, 2016 by Guest Link to comment
Guest Complete Garbage Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Played a lot with AW on another server, and he is excellent at arpee. The only issue I can see in the application is in the fairly short answers first two questions; It asks for a paragraph, but still a +1 from me. Link to comment
rrrrrr Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 What the fuck's up, you little bitches? Haha I'm dead inside. Character's a little lacking. Maybe a little bit more on that guy? Link to comment
AgentWhatever Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 What the fuck's up, you little bitches? Haha I'm dead inside. Character's a little lacking. Maybe a little bit more on that guy? Yeah, I thought so. I've added a little to the original post. It's still not much, but eh. Here's what I've added: Why do you wish to play this specific race: I've never been able to fully explore the capabilities in the backstory of Failsafe and its shenanigans.

Jennalele Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I find gripes in that... A: Your keyboard-mash of a cyborg has a habit of 'quitting' if it can't get along with the AI. This is just..stupid, and a no go. I can recall one VERY clear incident where he requested a second AI be installed expressly for the purpose of being re-shackled to that one, instead. B: I'm sorry, but Faqua is a snowflake amongst snowflakes. Yer a fuckin blizzard, harry. Not only are all his records plastered with more [REDACTED] stamps than other characters combined, but I've seen him in like. Every department, knowing exactly what he's doing. Engineering. Atmos. Surgery. Warden. It's worrying, and he's a very sub-par character as a whole that I find very difficult to work with from an IC standpoint. I'm going with -1. I'm not confident enough in your RP as a human or a station-bound synth to trust you within ten feet of an IPC character. You have a long way to go, but don't be afraid to ask staff and players for tips if you want to improve. Link to comment

You have a long way to go, but don't be afraid to ask staff and players for tips if you want to improve. The shift you are mentioning was when I joined at round start as the AI but had to leave. I later re-joined and stayed operational as a cyborg for the rest of the shift, only asking to be a second AI in the first few minutes of becoming a positronic brain. I have no clue where you are getting the quitting part from, honestly. Judging from your reaction you haven't seen much of me. Probably because I live in GMT +1. The cyborgs name is also not a keyboard mash, it just is that nobody has figured it out yet. Faqua is indeed a snowflake, to be honest. He went from someone with physical issues to someone who is not sociable on a different server and the end result is what is now playing on aurora. I'm still trying to wrangle him out of that, but it takes time. Faqua bieng a warden was a mistake, though. I accidentally left it open in my job preferences. Link to comment
rrrrrr Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Still not sure on this. Honestly not a fan of the character - maybe completely retool them? Link to comment
AgentWhatever Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Still not sure on this. Honestly not a fan of the character - maybe completely retool them? What do you not like about it? And how can I do better in your opinion? Link to comment
rrrrrr Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 It's written a bit weird - semi-vague, not entirely vague but still a little weird. Link to comment
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 This application has gone over the 4 day limit by quiiiite a long amount. Application denied due to inactivity and an unsatisfying response to the questions as well as concerns of the character brought up by Jenna. Typically your character should not be a classified top secret project riddled with [REDACTED]. Link to comment
