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 humans from the start and I would like to explore the Unathi world.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The Unathi race is one of a different playstyle from Humans, obviously mechanic wise, but lore wise as well. At first, we must look at the backstory of the Unathi. They come from a war torn planet, with characteristics ranging from resembling medieval Europe, to resembling a modern world with all comforts depending on the location. This makes Unathi have vastly different views and lifestyles, unlike humans who are not experiencing such a shift. Attempting to fit what took centuries of humanity to discover in a timeframe of just a few decades tears their world apart, causing great divides.

Another part is the Unathi culture itself. Being a species highly tied with their tradition, honour and past, they play differently from humans. Unathi value tradition more than money, family more than profit. This makes them more likely to defend what they believe is true, sometimes at the expense of their career. A proper Unathi should not take insults well, and should have less patience when insults are hurled at them. Honour is a priority, and something worth defending even when the cost is high.

Character Name: Essizr Ozoss

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

Essizr was born into a clan leading family. The Ozoss Clan is a minor, virtually unimportant Clan de facto subjugated to the Izweski Hegemony. Essizr is the 3rd son of the Clan Leader. A wise Unathi, the leader immediately saw the advantages of modern human technology. As such, he has opened his clan to the future, also sending his sons abroad to study and work with nanotrasen, the base provider of the Ozoss Clan. Essizr was taught the principles of the warrior code, the Unathi life, traditions and religion, which he has embraced and loved. He was taught to be smart and utilize Human technology, guided by Unathi spirit.

He was trained as a warrior until the age of 20, when he was sent off to Nanotrasen, to be educated on security procedures and conduct. He was also taught Ceti Basic and basic human manners for him to blend in the employee roster. Now, at the age of 34, as a fully fledged officer, continues to retain the Unathi tradition, honour and loyalty.

One patricular incident he has had though, has made him resent the Guwan. One day, when returning home for a short break, he found himself in an alley, taking a shortcut to the Clan castle. There, he witnessed a female Unathi being harassed by an individual, who looked like he tried to mug her. Things turned south, and once he turned his eyes on Essizr, got out a knife, stabbed the female, and fled. Filled with fury, Essizr got his ceremonial blade out and charged the Unathi. With a fearsome strike, he decapitated the perpetrator, and rushed to the dead female. It was well known that the Unathi had been a Guwan for some time, and the sole idea that someone like him would murder a woman, infuriated Essizr, who proceeded in pressuring his father for some heavy reforms, imprisoning Guwans and severely limiting them. Should it not have been for the "Safe workplace environment" of Nanotrasen, he would certainly have taken action asgainst Guwan employees, as he does not consider them as such.

What do you like about this character? He is heavily bound by honour and tradition, while he despises the Guwans.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? 7

[Guest Marlon Phoenix]

Hello! I'm sorry for the delay.

Your application is solid and I'm glad to see another conservative Unathi emerging from the trend of Guwan's we've had running around. I will mention that this is still human space so if you go off beating up Guwan they can still file incident reports, so try to avoid being really aggressive with his persecution.

Application accepted!
