BurgerBB Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 BYOND Key: BurgerBB Character Names: Diamond With Flaw Grant Focell Pedro Johnson Destiny Sidower Matt Freeman (Character isn't played in game, was just messing around in character creation.) Bladam Blensen (Character isn't played in game, was just messing around in character creation.) Species you are applying to play: Unathi 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 feel that playing a female Unathi Security Officer Guwan will make an interesting experience. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The clusterfuck combination of the the above will prove to be interesting when interacting with other Unathi and possibly other players aware of the lore. Character Name: Ilaeza Guwan Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs: Ilaeza Guwan never liked traditionalism in her Moghean clan. While it wasn't rare for females to question, Ilaeza Guwan went above and beyond when it came to defying the status quo. She had enough of it while being verbally abused by her clan-lord at the age of 19 for failure to adhere to womanly standards, enough to the point where she hit back; something unheard of in her clan. To avoid embarrassing the clan name, the crime was never reported. However she was still given the choice; take on the honourable name of Guwandi or Guwan. Given her stubbornness and belief that such a thing does not warrant Guwandi, she chose Guwan. Refusing to join an orphanage, fearing that she would receive the same treatment under her Moghean clan, she looked to the stars: NanoTrasen. Propaganda, as usual, was quite potent this time of year and all it took was one friendly sol-born recruiting officer and an extensive threat assessment check to determine that she would prove most reliable working on the newly built Aurorastation. What do you like about this character?: Would be interesting to play as someone that most would love to hate without going out of your way to be a dick. Also lizards are p cool. How would you rate your role-playing ability?: 5/10, don't touch emotes but I'm believable. Notes: Link to comment
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Hello, I let this application sit for an extended duration because it is very problematic. Your character circumvents literally every aspect of the traditional Unathi playstyle, social structure, and culture. Applying with a Guwan is always difficult because you have to still prove that you understand the thematic elements of the species. I can't see the greater story being told with this character here, and there's no elements that show that you really took an interest in the species. She 'refused' to be join an orphanage, which means she was living out on the street as a homeless child Guwan? It is not feasible that she is able to gain the relevant education and support to reach the qualifications needed for any Aurora job. She is quite literally at the rock bottom of the society, so it is not feasible that she would be able to join the Aurora. I also cannot really justify her being the literal opposite of what it means to be unathi. You are subverting the tropes of the species without much forethought into why, so unfortunately I am going to decline this application. Link to comment
