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: For me it is the most interesting race available to me at this time and I'll enjoy the challenge of roleplaying a Dionaea correctly, it would be an interesting and enjoyable experience and it is probably my favourite SS13 race simply due to what they are and how they work, especially their personalities and mentality.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Dionaea are obviously notably different to all other species on account of their biology and general mechanics and culture. Their organs are different, their history is different, their personalities and self-awareness are entirely different and they generally tolerate different things to humans and can't tolerate some things that humans can.

Character Name: She Walks In The Rain. "Rain".

Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Rain was "born" on a Nanotrasen vessel as part of a scientific experiment, grown as a nymph within a lab to be experimented and tested on until she became a gestalt. She joined the company as an employee once she became an adult and became more intelligent the older she became as she assimilated information from other crewmembers through blood samples, primarily Humans and Skrell. Although technically asexual, she chose to identify as female as her "carer" was a female human. Despite being conventionally raised by humans, she is really no different to other Dionaea apart from generally switching between referring to herself as 'I' and 'We'.

Due to only really needing a flashlight to survive in the vacuum of space, she was often used for engineering works on the external areas of the shuttles she worked and lived on. On one occasion, and the only occasion thus far in her life, she visited planet Earth at a young age and walked the surface in the rain, which is her fondest memory and thus what she uses to refer to as her name, with most of her colleagues simplifying it to call her Rain.

What do you like about this character? The species in general, apart from that, the character is extremely interesting to play and has huge potential for character development which is my prime reason for wanting to play her, as I massively enjoy passive roleplay and character development and believe this will give me the option to have more of that.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? Maybe a 6-8 out of 10. I prefer other people to rate me and give me criticism.

Notes: N/A.

Hello, sorry for tardy - I assumed you wanted a Head whitelist because you forgot to put the species in the title.

ANYWAY - it's quite a decent application, though I don't know how I feel about a Dionaea assuming a gender identity - but we'll see how it pans out.

NOW. I know it's already been a while since you posted, and I deeply apologize. This is why I'm giving you two options now: either I pass judgement now-ish (as in, after you reply), or I give you until Monday to post, once a day, your application in OOC to get people to vouch for you.

Sorry for not putting the species in the title, my bad.

I'm not a fan of vouching as people can just get their friends to do it for them, so I'd sooner just trust your judgement on it and amend things if you feel they need amending. You know what you're doing anyway.

Cheers.

Ehh, let's try it. Approved.

Just a reminder, though: Dionaea are on a strict 3-strike system. Start being a bad broccoli and we're going to have a problem.
