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:

IPCs are unique in the fact that they are not bound with normal Organic limitations. Not only is their anatomy different, but their appearance and behaviour is, too. It also opens many boundaries synonymous with intelligence and Emotion. They're Robots - They talk, move and think differently. I hope to utilise this to create an interesting character that is not bound with the restrictions of knowledge. It sounds a bit power-gamey, but I can rectify that issue easily enough with some proper decisions and actions.

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

Like I said above, there are some massive physiological differences with a Human and an IPC. The one that appeals to me most, however, is the IPCs being entirely synthetic in nature - Which can lead to some pretty interesting interactions IC, which rise above and beyond the standard order of things. Roleplay carries on differently, with even the most basic of actions affected by the IPC physiology and if you could call it that - Psychology.

Character Name: Hu-TAP

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

Hu-TAP, was developed aboard a Hephaestus Industries Production Station, in the Sol system for manual labour - Most significantly handling Cargo and Supply on Hephaestus industry ships as Shaft Miners and Cargo Techs for a short time, before being subsequently pawned of to a smaller Corporation and stripped for parts, sold and distributed across the galaxy. Most likely melted down to scrap, or maybe sold to be some Fat-Cat's new prosthetic limb. His Positronic brain was spared such a fate, however, as eventually, Hu-T.A.P found his positronic Brain purchased by a certain Inter-stellar conglomerate by the name of Nanotrasen, where he was re-created, albeitly with an alternative build - Using Zeng-Hu Pharmaceutical brand limbs and organs, paired with Hu-TAP's Hephaesteus Positronic brain and put to work as a Chemist aboard the NSS Redemption. This was somewhat short-lived in the general scheme of things, as 2 years later he was yet again re-commissioned to be used as for menial labour aboard the NSS Aurora, doing whatever is seemed of importance by Central command - mainly Custodial work and other Civillian jobs, undesirable for most organics. After a few years of continued service, Hu-T.A.P was tentatively assigned to roles of more importance. Acting as Research assistants and interns, eventually promoted to full positions after 5 years of interchanged service, due to his almost Robotic Loyalty to Nanotrasen.

What do you like about this character?

Inexperience, mainly. Hu-TAP has only been active for around 7-9 years, and is yet to discover what the Universe has to offer. I did this intentionally, because I wanted to act as a "Clueless" sort of IPC. "Clueless" as in unknowledgable within many fields. This'll let me 'Main' certain occupations I not only enjoy, but know well enough to be able to roleplay as an Inexperienced member of staff.

How would you rate your role-playing ability?

About above-average, I guess. I'm pretty confident, especially since I've had previous experience.

While you seem to have a good understanding of the IPC, I think there is an issue here. It would be very unlikely for a positronic brain to be recovered by NT and then immediately repurposed for head of staff, especially if it wasn't intended to be a long-term task. (Also the Pantheon is a research and robotics station, but, this isn't a big deal - just pedantics.)

Perhaps if it was older? Or just not made into a head of staff? Anything to correct the progression of the character's place in the world would work, really.

Alright. I guess I can change it to something simple, like Custodial work and Other civillian jobs. I can change the Pantheon to a generic Hephaestus station, I guess. And I'll also increase his age.

Update: Edit complete.

I failed to check this before I read your application the first time, but now that I've checked it, I feel inclined to bring it up with you and ask you:

You have a week ban for grief, and while it was issued a day after the first day you were seen on the server, I still do not like this. Bad vibes. About nine days after that, a permaban for consistently committing suicide. These all occurred within the two months you have played on the server in total.

To be quite honest, I get a bad feeling from this. We were all new once, yes, and I may make the mistake sometimes of giving people the benefit of the doubt but I still do it. Whitelists are a privilege, of which can be easily abused and does not reflect well on the people in charge of the whitelists or staff team. Can you assure me that you are taking the server and its rules seriously now?

Oh, yeah. I was a bit of an idiot when I first joined. Didn't take anything seriously. Rest assured, I'm still pretty regretful. You have my word that I am taking the Server and it's rules seriously now.
