Limodish Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 BYOND Key: Limodish Character Names: Anyta Richter, Eliott Zero, Van Borislav, Logan Conover Species you are applying to play: IPC What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): None Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes, of course. 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 feel like it would make a big difference in MY role play experience and other's role play experience. Known IPC's are rare and i think it would be great to become one of the rare IPC's. I've played IPC on many other servers and i think i'm still into it. I like IPC's mainly because I use machines A LOT, like a lot a lot. It'd be great to play them in my favorite game and server Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Mainly because Human's are still working with Machine [iPC]. I feel like it'd be interesting to role play as a thing that is working with the common race. Also because IPC's are rare on the station, there are only 4 or 5 that i know. Character Name: Montgomery Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Built by Eliott Zero in the Robotics Lab in NSS Aurora. He's hated by most people he meets. The only friend he has is Eliott Zero, his maker and he's old and fragile. He was raised on the NSS Aurora and has stayed there ever since he was made. He usually hates people because they're so cruel to him. He's usually just an assistant but applies for Station Engineer sometimes. Changed hands but returned to original maker every 3 or so years. Was taught by numerous pro-synths such as his Maker or Maker's friends. What do you like about this character? The fact that he's different. He isn't like most IPC's and their behaviors, this IPC is more controlled How would you rate your role-playing ability? 10/10 ign would rate again- no jk but actually i think I RP really good, and the IPC race would benefit my RPing ability much more Notes: Link to comment
Coalf Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Alright you ask for notes I give notes. First off let me tell you that IPC's aren't really that rare don't quote me on this but Skull showed us logs and they're the second most played species right after humans, that says something. Second the backstory, it's short, very short, I mean I know they say two paragraphs but I expect two paragraphs of information, I don't know anything about the character from this. So I know the characters name, maker and job, but where is his motivation? Opinions on the world around him? Opinions or atleast a description of how he interacts with other people or his maker. Also people being cruel to him, how? Why? Is there something we should know about it? How does he react to it does he get mad/sad/neutral? Hate isn't just a single emotion you can hate others in a variety of ways (Trust me I know) I may be a bit biased since I interacted with you about five times with mostly short talks so I don't know what kind of roleplayer you are but from what I read this character might as-well be a borg and I wouldn't even notice. Third, you also say he's different from other IPCs, but in what way? I don't know anything about him since the backstory is so short. So far it's a -1 from me, but remember nothing started out perfect, work and work and work that's how things improve. Link to comment

NebulaFlare Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Nope, you gotta add more to this app. IPCs are meant to be /servants/ to humans, and they are usually treated as such. Any synthetic produced on an NT station is property of NT, and that property is going to end up in a lawed station-bound chassis - no ifs, ands, or buts. If a roboticist used NT resources to make a free IPC and it became crew, that's a neglect of duty. The IPC will be seized and transferred back into a chassis to work. You can have an IPC that dislikes people and only trusts his creator and select few, but I want to see more depth and history. An alternative is if you don't want him to be station-bound, have him created in a factory, or produced as a personalized unit by this creator. You got a lot of avenues to work with. Link to comment
Killerhurtz Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Hello hello! In NebulaFlare's absence, I will be taking care of this application - sorry for the delays! Due to the aforementioned issues - a lack of a grasp on IPCs and a short, generic and quite honestly edgy backstory, I am afraid I will need to deny this application. Feel free to reapply, though! And you can contact me or Jackboot for any issues. Link to comment
