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: This is the only remaining species that I do not have a whitelist for. Partially wanting to complete my roster, and also, it's that time of the year again; time to expand my boundaries and try out a new role.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The vaurcae are the most recently discovered species; they suffer much more discrimination than humanity or any other species, for that matter. Essentially, they are heavily bioaugmented insectoids with highly advanced technology, and have spent the majority of their life within VR simulations. Unlike humanity, who may justify their actions for many reasons, vaurcae are expected to do everything in service to their respective hives.

Character Name: Ka'Akaix'Naix Zo'ra.

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

Shortly after hatching, Naix was selected to fulfill the role of an unbound worker within the Zo'ra hive. For the majority of their youth, they resided on Titan Prime, immersed within VR. Roughly after the two years in which first contact was made, Naix was selected along with several other thousand workers to participate in the work-labor agreement between the queen and Biesel authorities. After a brief few weeks in which assignments were distributed, Naix was assigned to work on-board the NSS Exodus under the super conglomerate Nanotrasen. They were promptly assigned quarter onboard the NCV Eden, a Carrier-class ship operating within Tau Ceti for the purpose of housing Nanotrasen crew working within deep-space installations, such as the NSS Exodus, the NSS Aurora, and the NSS Canis Minor.

Several days later, they were directly assigned into the Nanotrasen cadetship program and as per contract arrangements, deployed to the NSS Exodus for field-training, despite them having received absolutely no prior training in peacekeeping or combat. Entirely new to human-run organizations, and only aware of other species as they have learned from VR, they have absolutely no experience in interspecies workplaces, or Nanotrasen's operating procedures at all.

What do you like about this character? The opportunity to play a blank-slate know-nothing security cadet is something I've taken an interest in for a while, and I feel that playing a recently introduced species would complement it very well. Additionally, playing a character with a naive mindsight would also be new to me, and something that I feel I could expand upon and venture into.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? As with all my other applications, I'm really not sure how I could interpret this. Four years of playing on Aurora, and I'm still not a very good critic of my own abilities. I'll let the feedback speak for itself.

Notes:

[CakeIsOssim]

A worker class? In security? Violating the status quo? Who are you?

No, really, though it's good. Serveris has an exceptional ability to roleplay well-rounded and believable characters. Make this man a bug.

[Faris]

Gotta catch em all!

I've seen Severis as a player and as a member of staff and from my interactions with him, truly believe he deserves this. There this appealing "plainness" to his story that makes me like it, yet it doesn't appear lazy, which is good in my books. So I must give him a -1.

Just kidding, +1.

[LordFowl]

Your application states that your character is a worker subservient to hive Zo'ra, yet you say your first character (presumably the character you are applying for) will be "standard Vaurca green".

Please note that there is no "standard Vaurca" colour, but rather Hive standard colours. Green is the colour of K'lax, while red is the standard of Zo'ra. For a worker class, specifically "RGB 71, 21, 21"

I will formally review this on the 16th of July.

[LordFowl]

So long as the above is understood, this application is accepted.

[Serveris]

Yes, acknowledged. Saw your reply in the middle of a huge roadtrip, and meant to reply and correct this then. Ended up bogged down with even more stuff. The hive color mixup was a simple error at the time. It will be corrected.
