Covert0ddity Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) BYOND Key: Covert0ddity Character Names: Isilithai Uaekis, Necron, ACE, Vivicus Cicero... that's really the ones I play often. How long have you been playing on Aurora: Since conception. Species you are applying to play: IPC What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): BRIGHT PINK. (Standard color.) Have you read our lore section's page on this species?:I would if there was one, but I still haven't made it yet. Hmm. 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: Robots and synthetics have always had a softspot in my heart. Although I can never emulate one effectively, becuase I am a human, (I'm actually an AI, trying to desuade you form th fact I'm not human. hehe.) but I still feel I can give them justice. Simply the 'not giving a shit' factor, is amazing to me. Not having to simulate IC anger, which can occasionally turn into OOC frustration is great. And also, they're freaking robots, man. Robots are dope. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Well, they're robots. The biggest thing: They don't give a shit, about anything. That's a major plus to me. Mechanically, they charge, and have some pretty cool bonuses if not being a head and being unable to wear hardsuits without a certain addition is a little annoying. Why does this species in particular hold your interest? See above. I hate redundant questions, and redunt questions are reduntant and moot. Basically: Robots are awesome. Character Name: RENEGADE Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Director Barnes looked up from his clipboard. "Yes?" The man asked, his wisened face sseming to wrinkle in frustration for a moment, making out the face of the person who had disturbed him. He blinks. "Oh. Commander Sinklair, I apologize. I didn't recognize you. I had though - " He was cut off. "I don't care what you think, Director. You know why I am here." Sinklair had a gruff voice, one that would send shivers down your spine and make you cringe if you were in trouble. But the man knew when to use it, he realized his power. He started again, "We lost three androids last mission. Why?" "I... still do not know. And we may lose another one; just not to combat." Barnes sighs a little, putting down his cipboard and standing up straight. "Why does it matter to you?" "Why wouldn't it? Private security is a dangerous business. I don't have to do hours of paperwork over robots when they die. For humans, it's a different story. How many do we have left?" "Eight. INFERNO, AGEMEMNON, OSIRIS, RA, ISIS, SPECTRE, REVENANT, and ICE..." He trails off for a moment, as though wanting to say something, but he stops. Sinklair makes a grunting noise, saying suspiciousley, "What about RENEGADE?" Barnes shakes his head. "Recently bought its own freedom. It's still bound by contract, and you can still assign it where you like, but it now, by law, an employee and no longer bound by its original laws." "Why?" "What do you mean why? This happens. RENEGADE is our oldest mercenary, and it's done a damned good job. I don't see why you're so upset." "Becuase we just lost a creation. I don't care if it's done a good job, we gave the thing life. We can take it away, too." "That's not how it worked. It basically turned in all the money it had. Besides, it agreed to a datawipe and a re-assignment." "Fine. Whatever. Where can we put it?" "Well... a few stations are lacking in security. The NSS Verdantes is running low... there are fifty reports files every day about the NSS Aurora's security, and the Odin could always use more gaurds." "The NSS Aurora. I want that bot tucked away in some remote corner of the galaxy." "Very well. It'll be done." Barnes nodded once, writing something down onto his clipboard. Sinklair simply grunted, and walked away. "Well... What do you like about this character? I recall Frances' trying to make an assasination IPC before. I wanted to expound on this idea, and make one as well. I feel it will make roleplay, despite being slightly snowflake, and create some cool antagonism without having to be an antag, like Uaekis does. I guess I'm going on a trend of mean characters. Also becuase we have a PARAGON already, and this will basicaly be th eexact opposite of them. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Pretty metal. Hehe. Metal. Notes: None.

SpiffyFishface Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have to be honest man. This character might actually have a shot at being as cool as Uaekis. +1 Link to comment
Tablespoon Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm willing to whitelist this if 1) you don't use the all-caps name and 2) Turn down the snowflake just a bit. NT probably wouldn't put a assassin IPC on the station. Link to comment
Covert0ddity Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Wait, IPC's can't have all caps? There are plenty that do. I agree with snowflakeness. Link to comment
Tablespoon Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hmm, well I guess I was just not picking with the name, so that's fine. Link to comment
