Species you are applying to play:

Tajaran

What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt):

wheat colored

Have you read our lore section's page on this species?:

---

---

yeah

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:

Mostly for the overarching themes and aesthetics in the species that I personally believe aren't represented enough, especially the more conservative attitudes inherent in Tajaran society. I want to try my best to roleplay it all out, and see how I can make human society and Tajaran struggles combine (poorly.)

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:

It's mostly the mindset, and of course what kind of faction you belong to. Tajara have different senses of loyalty than us, and of course different boundaries seperating them. Such as race, for instance.

Character Name: Kasmira Caskari Polianka, M'Sai

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

KC (as I will hence refer to them as, for ease of my poor, feminine fingers) was born nineteen years ago, in a village named Azumak sandwiched between B'urr (i know damn well that's p'urr) and Tampiska. It was known to be allied with the ALA, though not 'officially' their territory. Some of her family were part of the ones sending supplies to the faction. As a child, she never really cared for the factional conflicts since the First Revolution, only hoping 'it'd stop'. She was never too directly affected, after all. The downtrodden nature of living away from larger, nicer cities, only drove her to have a very independent lookout on life. She only had four people she considered friends. The one common tie between them was their attraction to the musical arts, eventually leading them to form the musical group called Crimson Mane, a self-taught group. She didn't need anyone but her close friends, and her family. She cared little for those in her hometown, and perhaps if fate were different, this would've continued.

Fourteen years after birth, Azumak was swiftly and thoroughly overtaken by PRA. They ruthlessly arrested all 'known collaborators,' including most of her loved ones, including a good chunk of the male Poliankas. Control had tightened, privacy had vanished. It was two years that Azumak spent like this, two years KC spent wondering when everyone would come home. Everything seemed to steadily decline from the comfy lifestyle she once enjoyed. Two years passed, and there was the sound of weapons on a windy morning. KC peered out her window, keen eyes detecting, as usual, PRA guards. But there were more familiar faces. ALA.

Within hours, the conflict had settled, and teenagers such as KC were evacuated to Mal'Jor. It was unlike any place they've seen before. Particularly, KC was weirded out. Everyone seemed so.. Connected. Everyone there had a purpose, there was no one working on their own. Over the years, she came to embrace the lifestyle, especially considering now she couldn't afford to be so selfish. She was hired to help around the kitchens, mostly cooking up soups/porridges for those that needed it the most. She came to enjoy it, and in her last year on Adhomai she and a couple others were given an option. This option was to go into human space, acquire jobs, and send the somewhat large paychecks back to the ALA. After witnessing the horrors not long ago, KC was eager to help in any way she could, and maybe one day she would have everyone back.

What do you like about this character?

I always like patriot characters, and the description of the ALA really enticed me. I like how this turned out after a day's think.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? Eight.

will answer questions/critiques please judge me hard

Paradox is pretty cool and good at making interesting characters that seem to have genuine personalities, instead of being the character that is needed depending on the situation. They have several other whitelists and have shown good grasps on the lore before. They know what is needed to make a character work. So with that I give them a +1.

Still I would love to hear more how KC got into NT? It's just they get to human space and bam they are here. I think that might be fine for the whitelist backstory, but I'm genuinely curious.

On a work visa provided by the ALA, and after enough study of Tau Ceti (tajaran labor is probably well desired there) Basic manuals (she's just okay at it) to pass the Culinary Aptitude Test.

I unfortunately left the end a little scarce, as I realized how long it was and didn't want the backstory to drag.

Not bad, certainly a refreshing application with all the simple Zhan miner's arriving recently.

The ALA alignment is suprising and seems actually tastefuly done, I am curious to see how you'll handle that on station since you're basically a terrorist colaborator.

I have to say I had a giggle at the band and love the idea, question got all the band members and what they played?

Anyways one serious question.

How exactly do they plan to send the money back on Adhomai to ALA? I'm guessing an ATM machine isn't really an option since funds can be tracked, how do they plan to do this exactly?

That's I think all, for all the shitty opinions Paradox has in Discord he's a decent guy.

So yes, he has my support.

Application accepted. If you want a full analysis posted along with the acceptance (as I have done with every other application hitherto) then let me know. Otherwise I'm tired, so this is all I've got to say for ease of my poor, feminine fingers.
