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: Well, I like to find new ways to RP within the game. First I applied for Head of Staff, then Tajara.. Both giving me a wide range of scenarios that I couldn't achieve without the whitelists for them. And now I am here, applying for Dionae. Frankly I find them fascinating; from the slow movement and speech to their language being melodic creaks. The fact that there are not many on Aurora also sparked my interest, therefore I would like to add to the pile.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Other than Dionae being hard-to-kill OP trees? Alot actually.. The fact that they move very slowly creates different scenarios itself.. I like to think they're big, slow, twisted knots of wood.. Creaking at every movement, and I just find that concept extremely cool. Their speech is slower aswell, being spaced with '...' although I have seen someone who spaces out the words. For example space would be spaaaceee or something along those lines. Their weaknesses and strengths are different to humans. Fire being uneffective and radiation healing them rapidly.. Although put them in a completely dark room and you stop them feeding off the light. Rendering them incapable of doing much.

Character Name: Fire That Creeps Under Rain

Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Fire That Creeps Under Rain was taken from their Gestalt by some Skrellian Scientists for testing.. They took them to a scientific outpost on the surface of Jargon IV specialising in genetics. They knew some things about Dionae, such as the learning via genetic absorption, but not enough to discourage a specimin collection for testing.. They also knew that the Dionae would not be able to speak Skrellian, since the Dionae structure did not allow it.. So they injected the Dionae with genes of a Tau Ceti basic-speaking rather talented engineer, allowing them to take these traits as their own.. Basic communication ensued and they found that this particular Dionae was designated Fire That Creeps Under Rain.. The Skrell took the Dionae for tests regarding its physiology and other factors that were still deemed partially unknown, all agreed or disagreed on by the Dionae itself.. When they had gained all the information on the creature they could, they arranged for it to be sold to NanoTransen, to work as an engineer aboard one of their stations. The Skrell were going to take the Dionae to Biesel, where N.T. representatives would take over.

But said events did not insue.. The bluespace drive to the ship failed mid-warp, disabling the ship completely on the outer atmosphere of a hot desert planet.. The Skrell had no idea what to do, being scientists, they were not exactly experianced in the field of engineering.. They were too busy panicking about the heat to realise the ship was drifting into the atmosphere of the planet.. The heat shielding was only for standard re-entry guided by engines and inertial dampeners.. Not falling into an uncontrollable spin, with no control on speed.

The ship crashed on the planet, the Skrell aboard burnt to death in the extreme heat before it hit the ground.. Fire That Creeps Under Rain was badly hurt, but the scorching sun gave them strength to heal from the force of the impact.. The ship had crashed in some sort of old battlefield, full of old scraps of machines and bi-pod walkers.. Fire That Creeps Under Rain assumed there must have been some kind of war.. they took an emergancy toolbox out of the downed Skrellian ship and started looking into the nearest wreck, salvaging what they could.

Almost a year later, N.T. recieved an unidentified signal from an M-class desert planet orbiting close to star A1632-XFZ.. It was investigated, the investigators reporting a small speck of green.. Barely visible from orbit. Once in the lower atmosphere it was obvious what it was.. Greenery, on a desert class planet. They landed and searched the whole area of dense shrubbery.. What they found at the center was very interesting. A mound of twisted plantae material, but a material scan showed Skrellian alloy underneath, they made an educated guess that this was the origin point of the plants. Perched ontop was a rather large device with a dish protruding from the top.. They found this to be the origin point of the signal. A few hours passed and nothing, they packed up their equipment and were ready to leave.. But then someone pointed out a figure in the distance, growing larger, accompanied by a dull creak that grew louder as the figure came closer..

Fire That Creeps Under Rain was collected and transported to Biesel, where they signed to work for N.T..

What do you like about this character? They're resourceful, using things around them to their advantage.. They are also determined.. Can't have been easy staying on a wasteland for a year, salvaging parts in the hope they find something useful.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? I would leave that for others to decide.. But I would rate myself a 7 or 8/10.. It dips depending on how tired I am.

Synth is a pretty cool guy and likes to get stressed a lot on his race apps, I know personally how much effort he put into making his kitty app and with how much I've been hearing about it over the past few days I have no reason to think otherwise when it comes to this meme tree. Ikrad is one of the few examples of a good kitty still left right now and that alone is something to praise synth for. I have no doubt that he could roleplay a diona well so long as he had a good understanding of what was expected of one. Personally I don't care much for diona and I really haven't given more than a passing glance at their wiki so I can't speak at all to his backstory or the character he's made. But as for the player, I know he could play it well.

Synth already know how to play and roleplay catbeast tajarans. Dionea shouldn't be a problem for him.

He's also a mod, showing that he can RP properly.

Hello hello!

While your application is quite imaginative, I've been consulting with the Tajara overseer, and it is very much so inaccurate. First, Noble tajara were not scientists. Second, even if they were, the Tajara thought they were the only species in the galaxy when nobles were actually a thing. Three, as far as either me or the Tajara overseer are concerned, the Dionaea have not actually made contact with/anywhere close to Adhomai. Four, if there WAS Dionaea close to Adhomai, it would be a very antsy relationship. Five, Tajara don't have orbital space stations. Six, Dionaea have very little reason to build huts - it would probably have tried to grow instead, unless it had a specific reason not to.

So yes, it's really quite inaccurate, and so I can't accept it in good mind. HOWEVER I will be back Wednesday for judgement - you may feel free to correct your application until then.

Thanks for the corrections! I basically adapted the current story to a more fitting race (being Skrell) and apologise for being a little careless to check for inaccuracies.. My mistake for being a little too ambitious with it.

[Killerhurtz]

It's a fair correction. I'll approve it - just watch yourself.
