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 wish to play this race as they have a dense backstory that I could utilise in order to create an in depth and interesting character that has a lot of stories to tell and many things to learn. This could be done by me talking about the different revolutions and how my character played a role in them, and how they were able to stay alive during them. I could also use their backstories in order to let my characters life tell a story that people would understand and hopefully would learn about my character from. I was also interested with their past and how they fight and fought their wars, making them much more interesting of a race, in my opinion.

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

Being a Tajara is very different than being a human as they have so much history about them that can change how they act around other people and how they show feelings towards other species. This would make playing a Tajara an interesting thing to do and something that could expand not only my experience with their lore but my experience with roleplaying and how I can play in general. But being a Tajara also has the idea of being united with fellow Tajara wherever they are. Mechanically however they do roll their r's and speak in third person.

Character Name:Zar'im Da'khir

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

Zar'im was born on Adhomai with a very poor and labouring family, he was forced to work at a very young age due to his father being ill, his illness likely contracted from the D'as'ral Massacre. He had to work for his family to stay alive and survive, when he was around the age of 9 he began to look for a job for him to do, one that could support him and his family for the harsh winters to come. While young he was seemingly separated from the political world of Adhomai, as he worked in and around Amohda he began to hear talks of a better world, the idea of a free world had interested Zar'im causing him to be influenced by the idea of a place that he and his family could live happily. When he realised he wanted to help his family become better and have a better life together, around the age of 15-18, he grew to be bulkier and stronger he began to work harder than he had ever worked before. He became a better miner and while wages were small and in bits he tried his hardest and saved. When he found a job that would pay much more money and he could do what he had learnt to love doing. He never wanted to join in any wars so he tried his best to stay out of any conflicts. He was scarred by the stories he had told him and wished to avoid the fate that many suffered. The job that he saw was a better pay and it liked the idea of people treating him better on an interracial spaceship.

He considered what would be best for him as he most likely would not see his family a lot of the time however all he wanted was somewhere for his family to settle down and for his dear father to get the treatment he deserves and needs. He decided to take this job and work for NanoTrasen he took the shuttle up ,after telling his now cheerful family, for his first shift on the NSS Aurora.

What do you like about this character?I enjoy the fact that he has a reason to be working for NT and that he just wants to see his father better and family safe.

How would you rate your role-playing ability?Around an 8/10 I believe I've gotten better at roleplaying since my last attempt.

Notes: Feedback is appreciated.

I played a few rounds with Ackin, he plays it fairly well. Never seen his other two though. On RP alone, I'd give him a +1 and from what I know about Taj lore, he has displayed parts decently but obviously that part's not for me to decide. I do feel that he can be trusted with an alien race as he has shown that he can adapt well with his Unathi.

Falange.

Seriously, though, I've observed Ky'rat. At first (when Masuno could still be and was Biomech) he seemed like he wanted to do everything himself, like he was the only worker there. After observing him, I think that was mainly for either a distrust of humans or general distrust of other people, which to me is a good thing, that was his character and not him being dickish. Since then he seems like a "humanized" Unathi, who keeps the core Unathi beliefs--despite being a Roboticist, Ky'rat is missing an arm and simply refuses to get prosthetics. Once when he lost I think it was a foot mid-round, he refused the prosthetic then too, saying that he "couldn't get it back" and that it wouldn't be the same. Also, he loves to pester other people and make them think they aren't prepared--like he does often with Masuno, when Masuno narrates his work, which started the joke mentioned above.

I don't particularly like it when people omit the 'What do you dislike about this character?' question, but I do enjoy this character, it's really simple and has purpose, isn't too snowflakey nor in unbelievable ways, and shows a general understanding of Tajara history gained since the last app. It also seems like the player's specifically chosen the Tajara subspecies known for being at a general disadvantage, and I always like it when people give themselves flaws and stuff like that.

+1 for me. Zoom zoom, slow kitter.

When he's not falling of ledges as a shaft miner or spacing his orebox, Ackin is a fun character to RP with. They've got a solid grasp on RP in my eyes and stick to their character very well.

+1

I dont really,know how someone could get,ill from the Das'rral massacre, but otherwise not bad. Its not the strongest application, but it hits a few good points and has nothing anti-lore. What really pushes it up is all the insightful support you acquired from the community. Application accepted!
