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: A few days ago I got the opportunity to play a Diona in a Mercenary round, with an entire Diona team. Diona are weird in a good way, like the IPC. And to be frank because I’d love the chance to play a much different character than my usual smart mouthed asshats(I could just make a different human character I know but it’s too tempting to be a cheeki breeki)

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Well for one they seem far more reserved than humans and are slow to anger, and boy are they slow to move. They essentially take their time to do anything and then act with a lot more.. Intention. Anything they do they usually mean to do, you have to be very deliberate. Not to mention the whole being a multi-lifeform character!

Character Name: Blades Drowning in Soil

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

Blades Drowning in Soil, was a fresh gestalt when he was brought to Reade alongside some of the other migrators. The locals were quick to make use of his brute strength and they quickly put him to work shifting crates, he wasn’t quick but he got the job done without complaining, he worked there for several years establishing a friendship with several of the other dock workers, but keeping to himself other than that. Keeping to himself meant many of the people around mistrusted him, gave him funny looks and even ignored him when possible. One night as Blades was leaving the dock he heard a child’s scream and rushed(rushed being an exaggeration) over to the noise where he found a girl and a man wrestling against a wall. Blades didn’t like to intervene in the town as he was always told it would draw too much attention to him, but he couldn’t just allow a person to hurt another, so he grabbed the man by the scruff of his collar and through him, as lightly as he could, away from the girl. The man’s face smashed against the curb and began to leak blood all over the pavement.

Blades looked to the girl who was stood in shock, she quickly sprinted off and Blades thought nothing of it, the man had a broken nose and it would heal. Blades continued his walk to his usual light spot underneath a huge holobillboard on the outskirts of town. When he awoke from his hibernation he was greeted by an angry mob, who were peeling bits of him off “Wake up monster!” “Is it dead!?” “Get the laser saw! We’ll cut it down!” all things the town’s people cried. Blades uprooted himself as quickly as he could and the mob descended upon him as he tried to protect himself, they beat him with whatever weapons they could find and at the end of it one of the Nymphs that made up Blades was dead and the other three couldn’t fathom what had happened. Blades stayed under the billboard, rooting himself to the electricity lines until he felt strong enough to move again and then left town, eventually being hired on as a cargo technician for Nanotrasen.

What do you like about this character? His two main ‘quirks’ a distrust of humans and just wanting to stay out of everyone’s business, he’s quite passive and submissive and if told to jump he’ll say how high, not wanting to ever experience the same thing again.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? 10/10 baby

Notes: I refer to Blades as a He and as like one lifeform in the backstory just because it’s easier to clarify.

And... GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL

Hello hello!

I like the concept of your character - and find that you do in fact grasp the species quite well.

As per procedure, I will be back on the 16th for a judgement. Until then, feel free to post a link once per round in OOC to advertise and get opinions.

Take care!

Played with him during the mentioned merc round. He either already played in the past or just has a natural feeling for the race.

Either way, +1. Just remember to say "we" and "us".

[Killerhurtz]

I see no reason to withhold it, so approved. Enjoy!
