Guest Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 BYOND Key: Radah Character Names: Hilda Weiss, Darcy Adams, Reinhardt Vilhelm How long have you been playing on Aurora: Two to Three days Species you are applying to play: Skrell What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Blue Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: 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 enjoy the Skrell, Since they remind me of a scientific esque race, Or a group of bounty hunters, Mercenaries, ETC. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: They are very savvy in the science and medical fields, At least from my previous experience, And Skrells are normally rare among stations. Why does this species in particular hold your interest? They hold a place in my heart for their design and their lore Character Name: Mo Ye Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs A female skrellian, Who works as a smuggler for pirates, She has a extensive knowledge of technology such as computers and robotics. She has come on to the Aurora for undisclosed reasons. What do you like about this character? She is rugged but has a soft spot for a select few, and is quite tech savvy How would you rate your role-playing ability? Strong Notes: I will ask any questions or read any topics if required Link to comment
Gallic Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Consider this constructive criticism: One paragraph minimum per question Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs I think your story would pass, if it payed respect to these two details.

Contextual Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Your answers to the application questions fail to display that you have a firm grasp on the species. Link to comment
Rusty Shackleford Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Regarding the application itself, I would advise the author to read the lore that is currently written up on the server wiki. See if you can achieve a better grasp of the culture and mannerisms of the species, and flesh the character out a bit further, perhaps by outlining a defining event in their life. An application is OOC, so there's really not much need to keep their motivations a secret. Link to comment
Dea Tacita Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Non-constructive comments can and will be removed. Saying "This is a bad character" and not trying to help them improve said character is significantly worse than not posting at all. Link to comment
Guest Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hi, hello, salutations, and Namaste. Regarding/disregarding some of the above comments. I want to help out a little with your required two-paragraph description. Start with stating their name, where they're from, what their occupation is going to be on the station. Tell a bit about their background, you can even detail some parts as OOC information. Remember that a workplace wouldn't hire an active criminal or someone who has loads of notes on their security record that would disqualify them. Talk about their family maybe, personality traits, special little quirks to make your character stand out a little besides being a Skrell. Don't go too overboard here. Lots of people do, I will admit I do sometimes. Just remember the golden rule of character creation: K.I.S.S. Keep it simple, silly. Character development will move on from there. Link to comment
mrimatool Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm afraid the Authour has gone almost two months without responding to the last posts. This application is Denied. Feel free to re-apply and to address the concerns of the comments below. Link to comment
