---

---

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 find the Skreel a much more interesting race than the other ones on the lore, they crave for

knowledge and have a deep interest on space and science, something i can relate on. The Skrell are older than other races and much more logical and rational, wich i find amusing and fun to roleplay as. Also i think they are the coolest race avalible, along with the misterious Vox, and i can't quite comprehend why they aren't so many Skreels around.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: First of all, they have their own language, wich can be used via the :k command. They have a different diet as humans, not being able to consume hard food due to the lack of teeth, they can also breathe underwater.

In terms of Roleplay, their social skills seem off for most species, but they are as emotional as others, they have a fascination with technology as well as other cultures. Skrell are much more peacefull than other races, often thinking stuff several times before making a decision, rash decisions are not their style, as well as admit mistakes. They don't make a deal out of genders or racism towards them, proud of their status as Skrell.

Character Name:Kila So'lesaj

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

Kila was born in Jargon V on 2412 CE, her father Gubrlik and mother Nash'jla were very proud of their achievment, their only daughter. Little Kila grew up in the cold planet, she lived in a convoluted era of change, years before the creation of the Second Jargon Federation was a shock and now, only one year after her birthday a new species was found! The Humans.

From a very little age Kila developed an interest in these lifeforms, perhaps something common for childs bornd during so much change, she always asked her parents about humans, how they live, how they research stars... how they relate with eachother. Humans became a topic to investigate in her early years of existence, reading various books, even reading famous human autors. She developed a eager-to-learn personality towards humans, and of course, the stars.

Contrasting with her parents, she is a very "noisy" member of Skrellian society, she usually spends hours chatting with other species about their lifestyles, her father has said that she does not fear of any organic lifeform, the same can't be said about A.I, Kila simply can't trust them, especially knowing how much grief synthetics brought to her people and family.

Crew members usually point out how weird it is to have her around, she's always interested in other people problems, ready to solve them, even if not needed.

At the age of 43 Kila signed to be part of the NSS Aurora, the thougth of being in a station, researching with humans and other species about plasma, it was an oportunity she could not miss, she has helped around the station for two long years until the current date...

What do you like about this character? She is knowledge angry, awaiting for new challenges and very interested into human social relations, i think it'll be a fun character to play, and interacting with the crew will be very exciting.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? I've been playing for a year now, i always loved roleplay, even in not RP oriented videogames, it really helps the immersion, however, i just don't have that much practice as other veteran members around here, besides English is not my native language, wich complicates things eve more, i'd go with a 7/10, with more room to improve and learn.

Notes: Even if i don't make the cut, i'll gladly accept critics.

Alright so, while I was reading over this application, there were some points that sort of confused me. I'm not sure if I just couldn't understand what you were trying to say but this stood out to me the most.

 

Kila was born in Jargon V on 2412 CE

she lived in a convoluted era of change' date=' years before the creation of the Second Jargon Federation was a shock[/quote']

 

It is odd because if she was born on Aliose in 2412, she wouldn't have been around when the Second Federation was formed in 2388. Not sure if you just got mixed up on dates but you said you weren't a native English speaker so something may just have been written wrong. Anyway, I'm sure you can fix that pretty easily.

I'm not seeing any other major issues in this but just was interested in what role they would be in, I'm assuming Xenobiology/flora because of the backstory.

Anyway, +1

Thanks for the feedback, now, i know the the Second Federation was formed in 2388, but was i was aiming to was that the changes were still pretty new when she was born, 20 years or so it's little time for a nation/federation, especially if their people can live up to 300 years.

About the role, i was thinking Scientist (Since i'm still learning to be Xenobiologist) or Psychologist as well.

Thanks, again, for the feedback.

Hello! Sorry for the delay.

You hit a lot of the right beats with your Skrell application. A Skrell can completely obsess over humans and aliens in general; being so young (relative to Skrell) she can still carry the bright-eyed optimism of youth. I'd be glad to see where this character goes! Application accepted.
