TheSleepyCatmom Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 BYOND Key: DasFox Character Names: https://gyazo.com/4a2d9b59f0375f1a2bb0781c9c9c9bca Species you are applying to play: Unathi What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Red/Green 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 personally, after having read up on it, prefer Unathi to the other races I have a whitelist for. Their religions, (mostly the Maraziite Order, in which I am very interested in) are interesting to me more than other species, such as the Tajara and S'rand'marr worship and what not. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Well firstly, Unathi are Reptilian. Which means they are cold blooded. Beyond this, they are also deathly allergic to Ethanol, so they cannot drink alcohols beyond Unathi ones. Character Name: Iksaeors Keorat Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Iksaeors Keorat, a Unathi of a small clan remnant on Moghes. During his childhood, his father drilled religious and societal views into his head. Making him believe Unathi are the only true heirs to the galaxy as the warriors they are. Not sharing his fathers views, however having them ingrained, he decided to worship Sk'akh when he became of age. This lead him to university in Skalamar, where he learned to be an Artifact Tender, and soon thereafter an Artifact Hunter. After his degree, he joined, as his father did, with the Military of his city. Specifically, within, He was part of the Skalamar City Garrison. During his time within, he became devout to his religous faith. Devoting himself to Sk'akh, he prayed to the Great Spirit every day, hoping to find his enlightenment. On a day near his end of military service, he understood what he was meant to do. His time guarding the temple of the capital, where all of the artifacts are stored, gave him enlightenment. He joined the Maraziite order, believing he shall be a keeper of artifacts. A knowledge-holder, in place of a militaristic inquisitor. He decided joining with NanoTrasen was the way for him to retrieve artifacts from the Unathi First-Contact with NanoTrasen, and has devoted himself to the task. Beyond this, his military experiences leaves him cold, brash, and a follower. Experiences from his childhood affect him moreso, leaving him treating both humans and Tajara like lesser creatures, not wanting to speak to them unless he has to. Finding himself placed on a NanoTrasen space station, The NSS Aurora, leaves him prominently spiteful, as he is not on his home planet. He's placed himself to this station in specific, as his comrade Zouzoror is upon it. What do you like about this character? The fact that it's a different take on the Maraziite order. Not only would they be religious 'secret police' in a way. They are the holders of artifacts, of which are religous in nature. Policing their study, and viewing. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I'd say... A solid 8/10. I could be better but I can RP fairly decently, I believe. Notes: I don't have much in the way of ideas when it comes to characters, so this was my best shot at creating one that didn't take seventy years. Plus I generally like the idea. Link to comment

Roleplaying differences d00d, not mechanical differences, what makes them come across differently than some human Joe on the station? Link to comment
TheSleepyCatmom Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 That is both mechanically and IC differences. Link to comment
Fire and Glory Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Eh, I guess, not very substantial, though. Link to comment
TheSleepyCatmom Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 However, Unathi tend to be more... I guess Antagonistic, in my eyes. More confrontational and aggressive in most situations. Not to mention, most would follow their religion devotedly. Beyond the Hegemony being the first-contact with NanoTrasen (The current Hegemony that is) and being on /ok-ish/ terms with them. These would be standard, but this character isn't a standard Unathi. He's a heavily devoted religious Zealot on a quest to aid his fellow Maraziite and find artifacts of religious importance. And in turn, inform the Maraziite so they may purchase them. He acts differently, in my opinion. But that's just me. c: That make a little more... uh, expanatory? I don't know the word for that.

Fire and Glory Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 ... That make a little more... uh, expanatory? I don't know the word for that. Elaborate, probably. Anyways that is significantly better, thumbs up. Link to comment

Kozi32 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Playing often with this player.. he is worth to take Vader Lightsaber or that White list +1 Link to comment
Brutishcrab51 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I've played with DasFox often enough. Someone with a Head whitelist can keep themselves educated on a race, and they've been intent on the Unathi Whitelist. I trust they won't abuse it, and (s)he knows the lore and the Unathi playstyle well enough. +1. Link to comment

dinobubba7 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I believe that with the experience I have seen by playing with DasFox, that they would make an excellent Unathi character, since they actively know the lore +1 Link to comment
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hello! You have a pretty good application, however I have a quick question I want to bring up before coming to a verdict. What job will Iksaeors Keorat take on the station? All signs point to xenoarchaeology or security officer, but I want to be sure. Link to comment
TheSleepyCatmom Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 I was thinking Xenoarch at first, however I have another science character which was created during the time of this. So I'd put him into security as a standard officer. sorry if my reply is a little late, I got held at work for a lot longer than usual. Link to comment
TheSleepyCatmom Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 [mention]Senpai Jackboot[/mention] Err.. >.> Bump Link to comment
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Alright! Thank you for your response. That seems fine to me. Application accepted! Link to comment
