Elohi Adanvdo Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) BYOND Key:Elohi Adanvdo (elohiadanvdo) Character Names: Ashley Long, Rassvet Zver', Svhiyeyi Sidanelv, Oquoqua'Dali Walosh-Gadoki, RIP Species you are applying to play: Vaurca What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): DIRT Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yez. 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: To add to my 'species collection' and for different RP. I've been wanting a character that has synthetic augmentation as well. I think that a Vaurca will also make a great transition to getting an IPC due to the biomechanics. Not sure how much I'll augment him, but it'll be worth it. I also just like the fact that they're basically ant-people. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: They're first and foremost invertibres. They have a unique caste-system within their society that isn't found in any other higher-sentient species. Vaurcas are rather docile, and always stay within their given tasks without question if given instruction by one higher-up in the caste. Vaurcas are also highly specialized and excel in architecture, agriculture, and robotics. Despite this, they have lost the majority of their knowledge and are cut off from their home planet, not truely knowing if their homeworld is alive or dead. Character Name: Ka'Akaix Xiz K'lax Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Ka'Akaix Xiz K'lax is a hard worker like the rest in his caste, and enjoys nothing more than going about his work. He specializes in mining, and is proud to be the potential Vaurca that can bring back the arcitectual glory from the old days. When all materials have been stripped from the rocks, he uses the leftover rubble to create structures. He has become rather proficient and both mining and building. While he was more unexperienced, Xiz was busy carving a tunnel when a mistake made it cave in on him. Though it was of no great loss to him, some of his limbs were merely augmented so he could continue his work. With much more caution and increased procision due to the biomecanical limbs, Xiz has become one of the top miners for his hive-ship. He one day looks forwards to the eventual promotion to Xenoarcheologist, seeing that it could help uncover his species' lost heritage on Sedantis I. What do you like about this character? Xiz is a hard worker who likes nothing more than progress and discovery. He can often be described as having 'tunnel vision' (kek), leaving not much time for small talk. Though he's more or less a machine when working, he does enjoy the company of others due to his species' sociable nature. When he's not collecting materials, he spends the remainder of the day still up to his neck in space rock, attempting to re-create the masterpieces left behind on Sedantis I. Though he knows his role, he wants to some day become something greater and attribute to the good of his species. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Golden. Yes, that was another mining pun. Notes: I've 'dusted' this app of memes. Sorry about last time. But at least now I know what I can and can't do with these apps. Guess you can say the last one was a 'test'? Edited November 24, 2016 by Guest Link to comment

Anyways, I reduced his disability and updated my app. It is in the following: "While he was more unexperienced, Xiz was busy carving a tunnel when a mistake made it cave in on him.

Guess you can say the last one was a 'test'? While the self-importance of "best miner of his hive-ship" is rather stark, and the claim is dubious (Consider the population of miners, and then compare him to a Bound miner. There is certainly no way for him to be the best labourer.), it does not disqualify you from being accepted, so long as you understand such. Link to comment
