Cronac Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 BYOND Key: Cronac Character Names: Jason Varis, Aurum, Syd Torvelli, Gordon Barnes, ExoNet (v4,v5, and Personal Assistant) Species you are applying to play: Vaurca What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): RGB 51, 51, 0 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:I’ve mostly shelved my IPC character pending code updates, and I’m growing a bit bored of playing a human all the time, so I’d like to expand my options to something new that also interests me. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Outside of the obvious changes in game mechanics, the Vaurca have an interesting base story to work from, as well as story based IC issues to use for inspiration. Also, I don’t use my z key enough and want to break it in. Character Name:Ka’Akaix’Zeekz Zo’ra (Zeekz can be changed as needed if taken) Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Zeekz (the name I’ll be using in this section for the sake of brevity) is an unbound Vaurca of the Zo’ra hive who has been weaned off of Titan Prime’s long-term virtual reality pods over the last year. Zeekz had completed VR engineering training in order to fix the hive ship, but was randomly selected as a worker to be exchanged to NT as part of the deal between the hive and NT. Though some engineering basics from their VR training apply, not everything aboard the assigned vessel, the NSS Exodus, was covered in training, so they have been employed as an apprentice until their skills can be deemed satisfactory. When Zeekz is not aboard the Exodus, they spend their time among other Vaurca in the slums and refugee camps of New Gibson Biodome 0931. Zeekz freely repairs the small, simple dwellings of his fellow Zo’ra hivemates and is given K’ois in exchange for his contributions to the community. Zeekz will occasionally access one of the fly-by-night VR systems strung together with scavenged parts within the biodome. Much of their VR time is spent within an emulation of a massive subterranean hive modeled after what many Vaurca believe to be what a hive on Sedantis would be like in the present day. Perhaps Zeekz can see such a hive exist outside of VR someday. What do you like about this character? I feel like Zeekz could be a fun way for me to get back into engineering while still allowing me to experience a new backstory and motivation. Zeekz has a simple, lore friendly backstory that allows me to just play a role driven by hive and station loyalty. How would you rate your role-playing ability? About 7.25/10. I feel like I’m getting better over time, especially now that I’ve had some experience as a head of staff. Notes: If anybody has any issues with my name being too similar to that of other Vaurca, please tell me. I don’t know the names of many station Vaurca and I don’t want to cause any confusion.

Taintedglory Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Im fine with this app, its not a meme Vaurca. I like to have more vaurca hivenet friends. +1 Link to comment
Tequilajoe Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I've always found Aurum to be a pretty good IPC and can appreciate his RP +1, we need more Vaurca Link to comment

This application, while lacking in the non-IC sections, strikes me in a certain way. I particularly like the "fly-by-night VR" section, and might even develop such ideas further in the canon wiki. This application is accepted. Link to comment
