[Accepted] Roostercat's Dionae Application

[Roostercat]

BYOND Key: Roostercat12

Character Names: Riley Crixx, Aaron Whirlow, Derek Williams

Species you are applying to play: Dionae

What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt):

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 wish to play as this race because I want to have a different roleplay experience as a different race. Simply changing races can make your experience that much different, Aspects like racism, different mechanics, and restricted jobs can change everything about a character and what they do on the station.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Roleplaying as a Dionae can vary very much depending on the situation. For example, Dionae are slow, VERY slow. This makes escaping a threat that much harder. basic annoyances, like the lights going out, can be life threatening for a Dionae that is far away from any other sources of light.

Plus any particularly troublesome crew members may harass you, or start smashing lights to mess with you. Plus they are legally confusing, I have seen arguments happen over where a Dionae is considered an animal, or an actual Individual.

Character Name: Emerald with Zen

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

Emerald with Zen was spawned some time ago in the form of several Nymphs. Over a short time, These Nymphs would join together to create one creature of a humanoid design, with an Emerald caught in the middle. The newly formed Dionae wandered around the planet it was created on for days, weeks even. Until something strange occurred. The sun stopped supplying energy, a great mass enveloped the ball of light, quickly covering the Dionae in a blanket of darkness. Losing energy, Emerald stumbled as fast as it could, but simply could not outrun the darkness. Then another strange thing occurred, a sparkle of light, from inside a mass of metal. Emerald shambled with all it's might and finally reached the light, that came from the flashlight of a creature known as a Skrell. Emerald was met with great confusion and panic, and was almost shot by the Expedition force. Once the explorers finally realized what Emerald actually was, They began talking to it, trying to calm the group of Nymphs down. Of course, since Emerald had never encountered any other sentient race previously, it had no idea what they were saying. After Emerald figured out that the Skrell meant no harm, it settled down next to the flashlight, and listened. It quickly learned the Skrellian language over the next couple of days as the eclipse ended. However, there were problems that arose while they were huddled in the fallen ship. Nocturnal creatures had attempted time and again to feast on the explorers, and while the group had laser rifles, eventually they ran out of charge. Emerald came to the rescue, as it had the bright idea to use a metal coil and a salvaged power cell to recharge the weapons. . He grabbed the coil with one hand, a gun in the other, while the crew Used the power cell to transfer energy to the coil. The energy surged through Emerald as the gun received bolts of energy, recharging them. After the eclipse came to a close, the explorers brought Emerald back to the research station in orbit around the planet. And there he was offered a position on a distant station, as NanoTrasen wanted his services, seeing the potential in his Intelligence.

What do you like about this character? I like the fact that he used his wits alone to find a way to solve a very dangerous problem. I also enjoy how he ended up meeting another sentient race, by almost dying in the darkeness in the midst of a Solar eclipse. These experiences could make interesting experiences to bring up in Normal conversation. And could make RP that much more interesting on the station, both for me and others.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? 5/10, I can make some interesting Rp situations, but most of the Time I prefer to follow what other people started.
