Elohi Adanvdo Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) BYOND Key: Elohi Adanvdo Character Names: Ashley Long (Human) Species you are applying to play: Tajaran (Meow) What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Dark chocolate. Because it's healthier than milk chocolate. If possible. If not, then Taupe or Beaver Brown. Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes, I have. But I am prone to being a little forgetful once in a while. 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: It's pretty boring playing a human 24/7, in-game and irl (shit storyline, amirite?), and I like to change things up. Plus, I have a fondness for animals. Not fanatical, but fond. I think it'd be really fun to play as something you're not. That's what RP'ing is all about, right? Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: I'd be playing a species of humanoid alien whose species had parallel evolution to earth felines. Therefore, some catlike behavior and details have to be applied. Body language and vocalizations, etc. Can't sit there and say, 'Me" applies the soap to her hair/skin.' It'd have to be 'Me" applies the soap to her fur.' Things like that. I have two cats so hopefully I know enough how to RP as a humanoid one. On top of that, their culture is still a bit primitive compared to the rest of the races, especially with technology, and the Tajaran society is very intolerant towards... a lot of things. They are are also a little suspicious of power and of Nanotrasen, seeing to as of how the vast majority of their population was oppressed in the past. Character Name: Ugitsisgv Nvgi-Diganvsadi Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Ugitsisgv is generally a good-natured, michevious tomboy who has a strong curiosity and tends to wander when not busy. This more often than not gets her into trouble. Standing at 5'6", she weighs in at about 144 lbs. Ugitsisgv has dark chocolate fur, and shows characteristics of both M'sai and Hharar traits, displaying a lithe, but muscular, toned frame. She greatly enjoys nature and displays a natural affiliation with fauna and flora alike. This can also be her downfall, as Ugitsisgv will attempt to make friends with alien life forms. If there is a stray, she's sure to take them in! Ugitsisgv is also a skilled artist in all senses, and draws for a hobby. Ugitsisgv 's mother is a M'sai, as her father is a Hharar. Her parents live as survivalists in the far north on the westernmost continent of Adhomai, where she was born and raised. Being dark in fur color, hunting out in the open is incredibly difficult for her, but excels at staking her prey in caves. When she was about 10 years of age and learned as much as she could about 'native' living, her parents moved closer to Adhomai's more populated and technologically advanced areas to further educate Ugitsisgv in a more modern world. Within society's cities, she has been trained as an officer of the law besides general college classes, her sense of duty, justice and loyalty her greatest strength besides her muscle. Now a young adult in he early 20's, she has worked up the courage to venture outside of her home in persuit of more knowledge and adventure. Nanotrasen allowed that oppertunity with an offer to come on board of the NSS Aurora. Though she dislikes Nanotrasen for the way they treat her home and her people, she put her distrust aside enough to accept the offer. Pleased with how the NSS Aurora treats non-humans and the oppertunities that they have for her, she has an interest in taking up a Security job on the station, and will gladly help out Botany on her time off when not drawing. She hopes to be able to have the oppertunity to join the force, and dreams of one day becoming the head of the security department itself. As far as her homeland is involved, she is pro-revolution, but not a devout fanatic. She values freedom and individualism, but would not outright kill a presumed innocent, and would attempt to make those on the opposite side to see the errors of their ways and give them a second chance first. What do you like about this character? She's not a human, which 99% of games have you play as a human. It gets a little boring, and I like to switch it up. On top of that, there are some added complexities to playing as her, such as the species in general; their history, behavior and language. I think it would add a bit of a fun but not taxing challenge. How would you rate your role-playing ability? 10/10 would RP again. Sure, I have a few things to learn about how to RP on Aurora, mainly the rules, but I find myself quite capable. Again, I am prone to being forgetful once in a while lol Notes: Ugitsisgv Nvgi-Diganvsadi is actually Cherokee, meaning 'Dawn Beast'. There isn't really a vocabulary for Tajaran language, so... yeah. It's pronounced 'Oou-gee-tsee-es-gn Nn-gee Dee-ga-nn-saa-dee'. The syllables with the 'v's are like a nasally hum. Sorry if it gives you cancer (not XD). She can simply be referred to as Nvgi.

hivefleetchicken Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Hi! I've never seen your character before, so I'll have to keep an eye out for her while I review your application. Other than that, things look pretty good. I must ask - is your character pro-rebellion or anti-rebellion, or neither? Link to comment

So... Basically pro-rebellion. Edited May 23, 2016 by Guest Link to comment
Natwhite Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'll give you a +1 as long you promise to keep ashley around, In all seriousness though. While she doesn't interact with that many others, She's a fun and interesting character and And you RP to a good degree. So I see no issue here. I'am curious to see how you do with a more indepth character though, Ashley does slightly lack a solid back story in conversations I've had with you aswell as quirks in the character to discover.

Aww, thanks! I'm glad to hear her company is enjoyed. :3 She's normally a little aloof to most outsiders, and doesn't really tell anyone much about herself if not asked. And her quirks... you have to spend more time with her XD She's known in the science division as "Monkey Girl" (despite the fact that it's generally frowned upon, she likes to snack on monkey cubes when hungry and survives), having a hobby that involves capturing mice and other animals for pets (several people question this but it is accepted as no harm comes from it). She is also desperate to get her hands on any other life form/xenomorph outside the norm to study them... and perhaps make friends lol But yes, I will keep her around. I promise. :3 Link to comment
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hello! This application has gone over the ~4 day waiting time so I'm making a decision now. Thank you for making your edit clarifying her stance on the revolution. The conflict on on Adhomai is very integral to their entire narrative and purpose and it's so often neglected. Your character also has a conflict with working with NanoTrasen despite her reservations on the company. These small things already build a solid foundation for a character and it's satisfying to see you address them. The only suggestion I could make is that if you want a native tajara name, just hit the "random name" button until you find something you like, and give it whatever definition that you want. The species names are taken from syllables from their IC language mashed together, which might be more satisfying than naming an alien with a human name. You have positive feedback and I am satisfied with your application as it stands. Application accepted. Link to comment
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hello! There is a small issue with this application. The byond-key you have provided is not in our database, so I can't give you the permissions. Your Ckey is what you log into Byond with, and it's your name when you speak in OOC. "Elohi Adanvdo" is not that. Are you sure you listed your Ckey correctly? Link to comment
