MFalco Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 BYOND Key: MFalco Character Names: Rocco Butterfill - Medical Resident Lonnie Butterfill - Bartender Ka'Akaix'Zed Zo'ra - Medical Resident Ka'Viax'Kee Zo'ra - Half of the famous KeeKii chefs Species you are applying to play: IPC What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Exempt Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yup yup 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: Artificial Intelligence has always been an interesting idea to me. The idea that a machine could develop a personality, have it's own thoughts and ideas, even learn, is cool and terrifying at the same time. There are so many issues and questions that I want to explore. Has science gone too far? Would they be considered an individual? A person? How would humanity handle them? Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Power: They don't eat, and require electricity that they can siphon off an APC. Medical Treatment - They are unaffected by medicine and must go to Robotics to repair any damage they sustain. Can't fix that with bone gel. They don't feel pain, though, so that's good. Pressure/Heat: They are unaffected by pressure. They do, however, overheat very easily, and, due to their air based cooling, can't function in a vacuum for any extended period of time. Character Name: DJ Socket Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Created by a failing robotics company named Duos Deos for the civilian entertainment sector. When the company began to fail, they sold off many posibrain pairs to NanoTrasen for extremely low cost. DJ Socket was intended as a radio host with its pair, Plug, providing advertisement storage and transaction capability for potential advertisers. When NanoTrasen came to own the pair, they had little need for those capabilities and use them for dumb labor, like moving boxes in cargo. "Being stuck in this corner of the station really grinds my gears. I need to be out there entertaining all these fine folks. I need to deliver news. I need to interview. Sponsors need their word. Who else can do this? Nobody, I say. This is what I was made for. This is what I must do. What's that, Plug? Oh yes, my mistake. This is what WE must do! Come, my friend. These ads won't read themselves! What's that? We're already on air? Why wasn't I told this?!?! Bunch of amateurs I'm working with. Okay, from the top. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING, AURORA!" What do you like about this character? Socket is the complete opposite of me. He wants his voice to be heard. He lives to entertain. He needs it. The show must go on. Also, he's a cool robot in space, duh. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I feel like I've improved a lot since I started on this server. I would grade myself a very high 2.5/10, which to me is huge, considering it was -10/10 only a few short weeks ago. It's been hard, but so much fun. I hope to keep improving.

Conspiir Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Don't know how much my word means. I might be a tad bit biased. But I've seen Falco go from "Conspire, there's no way I can do this" to "Okay, I'm having fun doing this this is ridiculous". He's made some fine Vaurca. He'll make a fine robot man. +1 Link to comment
DaBurs Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Hey, for what its worth I roleplayed with this guy before and he was fun to be around as his Vaurca Kee. Not that my words hold too much weight, but I'd totally support seeing him run around as an IPC. +1 Link to comment
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Hello! Sorry for the delay. Your character has a good concept - a failing independent robotics company selling off its assets to the big NT, and DJ Socket is one of the sales. You have good feedback and I think it would be interesting to see if DJ Socket is more at home in cargo or the journalist role. Application accepted! Link to comment
