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:

It would provide interesting standpoints and views on topics that organics and station-bound robots would not be subject to. They would operate off of logic rather than true emotion, no matter how well it is emulated to suggest otherwise. I wish to play an IPC because I want to develop a character trying to find their own way in the world, make their own mistakes and learn from them. Playing an IPC would make this more fitting as most organic races never have to struggle with their purpose being simply handed to them only to be torn asunder and having to find a new way of life entirely.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:

Since their freedom is typically bought, there could be the potential for an interesting angle of having to acclimate to making their own choices and develop into their own person rather than simply be given a purpose and told to do it. Of course, there is the racism towards them that humans don't have to deal with. Perhaps even hostility from overly-zealous skrell eager to relive their past. In short, playing an IPC, playing a logic-driven machine is very different to playing an emotional human who doesn't think twice about having half the things that an IPC would have to struggle for such as freedom itself.

Character Name: Grey

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

Originally made as a mass-produced, off the shelf baseline, unit B-13382 as it was then known was simply sent to an asteroid to mine. Mining was good to the unit, receiving positive utilons. That was the life for a while. Mine, charge, mine, charge rinse and repeat. To anyone else this would be tedious but the utilons ensured this was never so. But all 'good' things must come to an end and eventually the unit was able to work its servitude off, gaining its own freedom and later on, after more working this time because it wanted to, synthetic flesh. With the acquisition of this new body, unit B-13382 decided to experience the 'finer' things in life. Going to work for a bar on the fringes close to his old asteroid, he whiled away his hours mixing drinks, growing ever more fanciful in his process as he saw his customers enjoyed the fancy displays.

Being the only IPC or even synthetic at the joint he quickly picked up the moniker 'Grey' by the owner and patrons alike. It wasn't long until Grey took a liking to this name, a real name was good, better than a product code and so he started calling himself Grey too. Things stagnated which was a new experience for Grey, the same patrons and the same drinks day in and day out. It had to change. He had to experience new things and so Grey took off, saving up yet more and heading to another job. This time on a space station on an asteroid, it reminded him of his origins but this time he was in control of what he did, not someone else. It was freeing.

What do you like about this character?

I like the humble beginning and story-book ending of his life so far coming full circle with him ending up essentially where he began. I like that he isn't some larger than life character, just a guy with a job who got lucky after years of hard work to get where he is now. I like that he actively seeks out new experiences now that he is able to have a real life.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? 7/10. I think I'm pretty decent but I do have moments where I slip up or don't think something through completely (Probably much like making this app)

Notes:

[TheSleepyCatmom]

bad hop go way -1

But seriously, in honestly Calion's a good player. He does some solid RP, and understands the lore of races he plays. To myself, IPCs are a little iffy. But I think he can do a solid job at it. +1 from me.

[Shadow7889]

Enjoyed playing with the HoS. Calm in stressful environments, and good at leading his team. Overall +1

[DriverMonkey]

Good roleplayer and an overall competent HoS, who remains cool under pressure. I'd love to see Grey as a character on the station. THrowing you a +1.

[MattAtlas]

Calion's characters are all characters I enjoy playing with. I have no doubts he would be able to play an IPC well. OOCly, he's a pretty good guy, and I have nothing to say about him. It's a definite +1 from me, good luck with the application.

Hello! Sorry for the delay. You have a good character concept and good feedback as well. I like his mix of being humble but also having enough wanderlust to get to the Aurora.

Application accepted!
