Tekoro Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 BYOND Key: Tekoro Character Names: Alden Ringer, Gregory Weinstein, Coly Asher, Jacob Pootlepot, Phoenix Hall, Crawmerax, AST-vR1F Species you are applying to play: Dionaea What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes. 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've been playing on this server for quite a while now to the point where I've been able to interact with every playable race (antag and not) and visualized in my head the certain roleplay styles of each race. There is only one race that I rarely see but I love to roleplay with usually, wich is the Dionaea. Tajaras and Unathi are common, IPC's aren't that rare but Dionaea are almost missing every shift but everytime there's one I have a blast. It might simply be their lore which fascinates me a lot, the fact that they lived most of their existence unknown to Human kind and the Skrells and everything that happened after their first discovery, to the first contact and attempts of communications to the exchange of data and pods for nutrients. I like their lore a lot more than the other species. mostly because where they can be seen as an hostile mass of plants which could easily be a giant threat, being able to absorb entire aircrafts and their crew with them,when there's actually a lot more behind it which makes it such an unusual race to play. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: A human is almost seen everywhere and can easily become to get boring of, but a Dionaea? Everytime I see a Dionaea I want to roleplay with it somehow (not forced obviously), it's simply the fact that you're not interacting with ONE individual but multiple ones that you need to consider as one that makes it fun. Character Name:Future Wails of Old Friends Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs The planet Epsilon Ursae Minoris was found at last, a giant biomass that was later on nicknamed "The Dead Planet" for multiple morbid reasons, completely absorbed by the Dionaea kind. Weirun Tup had arrived and tried to communicate with the Dionaea, later on establishing a strong bond with the Dionaea. Future Wails (known as a simple Dionaea but given this name later on by his new crewmembers) was extremely curious as a whole and always admired the Skrell Captain in every way, perhaps it was how the nymphs felt about him, his strange physiology and intelligence. When the captain died, and pods were starting to be sent to the human kind and the skrells for research Future Wails decided to embark with one of the research ships, welcomed by the Skrell researchers who awaited to learn even more about the Dionaea kind. [This was around 2440 after the death of the Skrell Captain] [ Take in mind that before the contact between Weirun Tup and the Dionaea, there's nothing known about Future Wails of Old Friends, except the fact that it was a worker. ] Future Wails was brought on Jargon IV for research, the scientists curious to learn even more about its kind. They learned a lot about this gestalt, doing various experiments on it. Communication between the Dionaea subjects and the Skrells was pretty tough until they started to make them absorb various blood samples to see the reactions upon their biomass, Future Wails absorbed a blood sample derivated from an Unathi, which quickly made it understand Sintha'Unathi and speak perfectly but within the limits of its physiology. Various tests were made for the Dionaea, some took part in science tests to see how intelligent they were, from there learning their incredible intelligence and spot on memory. Others were placed in empty small test vessels, leaving the Dionaea to repair the engines, which they succeeded at showing an incredible engineering capacity. - - - - - - The Dionaea was kept in a research facility on jargon IV for one year, until it was sent on various Skrell vessels and stations as an engineer, able to do things that the Skrells couldn't, like stay in space for a long amount of time if provided with some light sources to feed itself off. The Skrells were amazed by the capabilities that these new creatures had, and they were not the only ones, in fact NanoTrasen was interested not only on the various non-human races, but quickly decided to bring in pods on its research stations in exchance of credits and various deals. Future Wails worked as an engineer for the Skrell kind for ten years, bringing its known lifetime in the registries to thirteen years, even though it is said it could have bee living dozens and dozens of years more if not hundreds, so when the Skrell started exporting pods discovered by their integration program, Future Wails of Old Friends was also transferred to a NanoTrasen vessel, where after some paperwork, it became an employe stationed on the NSS Exodus. where it has worked on and off for nine years now. What do you like about this character? Future Wails of Old Friends is a mass of six nymphs all syntonized like if they were one, but they're all really sad since the death of Weirun Tup because for unknown reasons they had formed a strong bond with him even though they had never approached him, it was simply his image of a connector between two completely different worlds that fascinates them. I like the idea of a Dionaea which is sad whenever reminded of the start of its new adventure, why it started and the cause of it. The gestalt was a test subject so it experienced fear for scientist for some time, but now that part of its immortal life is over, it is just trying to help everyone the best it can. It tries to be friends with every type of living being and its first step of being friend with them is making sure the NSS Exodus is danger-proof! How would you rate your role-playing ability? I don't know, really. I guess a seven, but there's a lot more to improve. Notes: Link to comment
Bygonehero Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Good interactions with them. I particularly like Hall when I'm engineering! +1 Link to comment
Killerhurtz Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'm sorry but I will have to deny this app. While you have obviously read the wiki entry, I feel that you have not *processed* it, much less understood. You focus attention on the wrong things, and I feel that you basically just rewrote parts of the wiki entry into a character. Combined with the fact that you failed to adequately explain why, exactly, a dionaea is not like playing a human, I do not feel confident that you would represent the species well. Feel free to apply again, and sorry for the large delays. Have a nice day! Link to comment
