One paragraph minimum per question Why do you wish to play this specific race: Vaurca are a interesting and different race compared to the others.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Vaurca are radically different than humans. No sense of loyalty or showmanship, the bound exist merely as tools to the unbound, They're focused on their goals and commands of their betters and place their identity within their hive rather than themselves. While the unbound are more human like, they're still experiencing a culture shock among the new species. Character Name: Za'Akaix'Rok Zo'ra Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs A singular click, and Rok's paradise was gone. Retreated into his mind for years to live in a paradise as Titan Prime went through the stars. Now he was suddenly back. No more VR, and soon to vacate the ship. Taking his first awkward steps, Rok realized something quick. He was one of the last in the room to leave his pod. Settling back into the rhythm of 2000 years ago, Rok walked throughout the ancient vessel. Taking note of the changes over the millennia. Infomation moved through his mind as he processed it. 2000 years. New species. New system. New orders. New home. Rok cursed his new world. He cursed the ones around him, the xenos and fellow vaurcae, and he cursed his stiff and awkward body. The hive of Biesel was a strange one. Rok disliked it. Those few xenos who came by him stare and glare. They all hold different thoughts in their mind. Few wanted to help. Few saw that Rok was not a mindless tool like the bound and could be a ally or aid. There were those who could help, The ones who would allow Rok to progress as far as he could in this alien space. The hive of NanoTrasen. Tying around his loose cloak and adjusting his blinders, Rok waited for the close star in the odd sky to fade away. Odd that humans paid it no mind. The idea of a radiation blasting star this close to a inhabited world was insanity. With street lights it was hard enough to walk at night, but the sun burnt his eyes to near blindness. When it did not shine in day, it rained. The invading droplets bombarding Rok and splattering his precious cloak. Rok wished for the feel of the tunnels. The tighter spaces instead of the wide streets. The cave overhead that made him feel safe. Tunnel jobs were not for him, but oh how he wished he could have been a worker. Rok steeled his mind against those thoughts as the sun fell. No rain this night. Stepping out in his mottled cloak, Rok explored the streets he could. Passing by the noble IAC and aid workers, he found his goal. A building with the sign NanoTrasen Recruitment Center. Rok clicked together his mandibles and entered. "So." a human across the counter calmly stated, dressed in a odd suit that the important humans always seemed to wear. "You can't mine?". "No. Not worker." was the quick reply. The Tau Ceti basic of the humans was awkward. Stilted. Not meant for Vaurca. Rok detested it almost as much as he detested the bright white lamps overhead. Going through the motions, the human slowly went down a list of postings. One by one were they denied, until he had reached one opening. "How about this? NanoTrasen station security. You sit in a office, sometimes kill carp that sometimes come by, and just stand around watching people. How's that?". A single word question came from Rok "Zzztation?". The human looked over at Rok, quickly adjusting himself to avoid looking directly at the insectoid face. "Yeah, yeah. Station. It's a tight metal pressurized building in space. Held in one space, transports by shuttle or gateway. A little dark, but I think you wouldn't mind. Plus, you get to meet new people every shift..". Rok thought it over in his mind. Going back to the days he could remember. 2000 years ago, from what felt like such a long amount of time now. The tunnels, the low lighting. the tight spaces of his old hive. Could he find it on this station? "Yezzz. Will take.". The human grinned, pulling out a pen and paper. Motioning to a blank space with the pen he hesitated while handing it to Rok. "You know how to write your name, right?". Rok nodded and took the pen. What do you like about this character? He's straight to the point and holds loyalty to NT through the hive. He'll fill out orders to the best of his ability and will step down when ordered to or when needed.. On top of that, he's different from my usual characters personalty wise. How would you rate your role-playing ability? 7/10 Notes: I prefer to build my backstories off experiences on station, as I've done with my unathi before. It's a bit awkward for me to formulate a full backstory before even playing the character. Edited February 4, 2017 by Guest Link to comment
Omnivac Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Good roleplay from other characters, and it'll be interesting to see you shake things up a bit. It's also nice seeing the xenos in the hands of competent players. +1 Link to comment

Character Name: Za'Akaix'Rok Zo'ra Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs A paradise gone. Once I held a world within my hand, now I exist in reality again. At least those workers kept my body in working condition, unlike the rest of our once mighty ship. This is only a minor setback. Soon we will forge our life under our glorious queens for the hive and restore our ship to it's glory. Until then, I can follow these 'humans'. The order of our holy lesser queens is clear. Follow this NanoTrasen hive, and we follow their whims. This galaxy is strange. The way these humans act. These other species I hear of. Some of the humans seem to be in awe. Some are shocked. Some are kind and help. Some seek to firebomb our homes. No matter what, I will do my duty to the NT and hive as best I can. Only then, through our collective work, can we be restored to glory. I have fought in combat before, keeping the peace on these stations may be no difference. For the glory of the hive. What do you like about this character? He's straight to the point and holds loyalty to NT through the hive. He'll fill out orders to the best of his ability and won't falter unless needed. On top of that, he's different from my usual characters personalty wise. How would you rate your role-playing ability? 7/10 Notes: I prefer to build my backstories off experiences on station, as I've done with my unathi before. It's a bit awkward for me to formulate a full backstory before even playing the character. The application is particularly lackluster. Your promise to build your character notwithstanding, a robust understanding of Vaurca lore cannot be portrayed by promise alone. The base is good, merely expand it further. There is little else to comment upon with the backstory at such a basic stage. Link to comment
