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: Well I'd like to start off by saying this will be my first whitelist app ever, so please go easy on me. I've been playing for a little over a month now and I've fallen in love with borgs and IPC's specifically with M.A.K.E and B-4 and Noir to name a few. Their unique rp has really caught my interest more than any other whitelistable races. I'm quite a big of a nerd irl and have always been drawn to robots over the humans so I guess this is kind of a perfect fit.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Well they emulate emotions instead of actually having emotions. Cliche as that sounds I enjoy the idea of if the situation is big enough, the IPC will most likely not be able to comprehend or compute what exactly is happening. The way they are stimulated to the environment is a big deal, while making it pretty close they never quite hit the mark. Being just lines of code they're restricted, it would be like talking to someone with a social disorder.

Character Name: K.E.G.

Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs K.E.G or Kalentine Electronics 'Gentleman' baseline frame manufactured by Kalentine Electroniconics. K.E is a small manufacturer down from the Tau Ceti, they own a small factory on Beisel. K.E.G's purpose is to provide services such as cooking, bartending and gardening. K.E.G was purchased by a frathouse known as ALPHA TAU OMEGA from Ceres University. K.E.G. was just another house IPC who eventually grew a semi-bond with the frat boys through his programming to also seem to act like a "bro." Starting off doing his normal duties at the frathouse, being nearly a slave the frat boys eventually began to grow on K.E.G. and K.E.G. grew on them.

After one of the 0 gravity football games the frat house hosted a party. After serving drinks for a few hours K.E.G. was called to the stage where the frat house had been hosting a live DJ. Infront of a large crowd the Frat Boys begins pouring beer on him, hugging him and giving him an official ALPHA TAU OMEGA t-shirt to throw over himself. Announcing that he was officially part of the frat and had announced they will be buying a new K.E.G. in order to give him his freedom to hang out with the brothers. Eventually the frat had died due to issues with the campus police and K.E.G. was forced to seek employment elsewhere. Wondering around the final days of the downfall of the Frat, K.E.G. had seen flyers around a job fair for NT. Naturally being a IPC he offered to work for very low payment and a small apartment. An agreement was reached where K.E.G. would earn nearly no pay but given an apartment and free maintenance upon the ODIN.

What do you like about this character?I enjoy this characters quirky attitude along with his ability to not really get that it's not cool. He's very much so the "clueless idiot" in robot form. Still living in his "glory days" as much as he can possibly have them as a IPC that is.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? 7/10

Notes: I was given permission from Strudel to use the K.E. brand

I also edited the story a bit, added about three sentences to help clarify a few things.

As the person who made KE a thing, how could I not +1 this application

Jokes aside, the story is pretty interesting, and overall I think it'd bring some interesting RP to the station

+1

[Gollee]

Looks good to me, all my interactions with Zion and Landyn have been positive, and this is an interesting idea for an IPC. +1

[ReadThisNamePlz]

A frat house IPC? God save us...

+1

Unique story, I greatly enjoy the idea and he's not horrible at RP.

If he ends up being horrible, his whitelist can always be removed.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? 7/10

What's up with this modesty? Zion is a delight to roleplay with, consistent, always in-character, and overall amazing. Maereo, there are plenty of people I would give a 5/10 to, or a 7/10 to, but you are not one. 9/10, easily. Especially after seeing you play a wildly different character from Zion (Milaya) and how quickly you adapted and played her well. I'm confident you could play any whitelist race well, including IPC.

Maybe you're not confident because as you told me on discord, you're newish to RP and SS13, but I'd never have guessed that. The fact that you asked me for critique on your RP and for any tips shows me that you're also always looking to improve.

As for the app/character itself...

Love the concept. A frat IPC? That's amazing. I would like to see a little more (Maybe a sentence or two) about how exactly/why exactly K.E.G. came to be with NT and the Aurora. It's pretty vague as the app currently stands. I'd like the know what motivation or circumstances led to him being with us on this station.

That said, huge +1 from me. I know you can do K.E.G. and any other IPC character justice.

[MelodicVoid]

I have roleplayed with both Landyn and Zion, and antaged with them multiple times. the characters are quite different, Zion being my fav of the two (Zion The Lion). I believe that this IPC would prove interesting to to Roleplay with. I give Maereo a strong +1

[elianabeth]

I actually got to interact with Maereo from when he first initially joined the server, and I have to say he is great at coming up with interesting characters. I mainly interacted with Landyn, and Maereo is excellent at providing good role-play opportunities and forming amusing relationships with other characters. I have full faith in his roleplay abilities, and I enjoy his style of descriptive emotes.

Speaking on this character, I think K.E.G will be lots of fun to interact with, I enjoy the trope of the nerdy guy who thinks he's cool. I'd like to know more about how he found out about NT, and why he choose to work there. How long was he searching for jobs? What made him decide to go with NT - how much of the world did he know about beyond his frat?

Certainly looking forward to interacting with him in-game! Absolutely a +1 from me.

[SleepyWolf]

hey this guy knows how to roleplay, definitely. i have a few questions though, where was KEG originally from, Tau Ceti? and if so, how long? would he have internalized robo-racism and what kinda job does he have?

i like that you included the fact that he was originally property to these frat bros, and even the fact that you said that the frats would just 'Buy another KEG', that's really in the vibe of what IPC's are in our universe and i think that's cool.

I'll gohead and clear it up in the story, thank you everyone for the positive feedback!

I've played with both Landyn and Zion. Always seems ready to learn cool new things, and is a general great role player.

Can't wait to see how he does an IPC character.

[Flamingo]

I enjoy interacting with Zion, and while I’ve not met your other character, I am sure they’re equally as enjoyable to RP with. You do a good job of keeping people immersed in the setting with your use of emotes, and I am sure given the chance, you would perform admirably with an IPC whitelist. +1 from me.

Now for some questions. What made you want to go with the KE brand, from an OOC standpoint? Building on what Sleepy asked, how has K.E.G gotten along with the fact that he can be easily replaced in this day and age? (“We’ll just buy another one!”)

Best of luck on your application.

I went with the K.E. brand well honestly because strudel told me too, but knowing that there are others K.E. models is a little comforting as I've interacted with M.A.K.E. the most I have an understanding of what i'm supposed to do. Also I decided not to touch on it specifically because I don't think he would realize he can just easily be replaced he probably wouldn't be able to comprehend it.

[CakeIsOssim]

You roleplay with Strudel? Denied.

Just kidding. Application accepted.
