Ka'Torag-na Halkrath (Lurking Shadow) Pred App

[Shyguychizzy]

Byond ID: Shyguychizzy

Marine Name (so we know who you are, if you play alien mostly, state that here): Balto''Crunk''Dreg

Name of the character you want whitelisted (The name your predator will use. This must match your in-game predator name): Ka'Torag-na Halkrath (Lurking Shadow)

Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor? I have an understanding of the Code of Honor and quite familiar with it, and from I have observed from other preds as an observer how it works or rather the way the Code of Honor is implemented.

Character background (A very BRIEF description of your predators background):
Was born in humid jungle, consisting of many different terrains, in which not even man can approach. These Yautjas have adapted to for many centuries, thanks to their survival instincts and their impressive combat skills, this jungle was once home to many r'kas, in which provided good prey, and trophies. It wasn't until they were short on r'kas, soon these Yautjas started breeding these r'kas for personal hunt, until a colony ship came by. The Yuatjas decided to release some of their breed prey on this colony ship full of hosts, they saw this, it proved hunt for many decades.

It was then this commonbirth yautja was born, as many other yuatjas trained for decades in the intense combat and hardships have trained in kehrite. But this yautja named Ka'Torag-na Halkrath was most fascinated by the elders, thought this yautja might bring greater honor upon the clan, the Elders have decided among themselves to train this yautja in the weapons of war, their tactics, and methods of hunting many different prey. After several decades of such severe training from the elders, Ka'Torag-na Halkrath has finally earned their right to hunt on his own, though many other yautja despised of Ka'Torag-na's family, thinking Ka'Torag-na's has brought great shame to their clan. During the several decades Ka'Torag-na Halkrath's training with the Elders, the other yautjas decided to ban together, and have taken out Ka'Torag-na's village of where Ka'Torag-na have been born from. After the Elder's and Ka'Torag-na Halkrath's gotten the knowledge of this he was outraged. The Elder's given strict targets of those who have betrayed their clan. In the complete shadows, one by one, those who have lashed out or haven taken the lives of Ka'Torag-na Halkrath's village. Until the remaining traitorous Yautja decided to unleash all the containment of the r'kas and oomans. This resulted in the destruction of the clan, yautja after yautja, until the remaining Yautja were Ka'Torag-na Halkrath, and the last Elder of the Clan. But, the Elder someway got huggered by the r'kas, the Elder's last wish was to end his for the Honor of their clan. Many months passed after Ka'Torag-na Halkrath had to behead his fellow Elder, Ka'Torag-na has been searching for any survivors, unfortunately he felt the presence that he was the last of the clan. Fortunately Ka'Torag-na's ship remained, has been hunting, gathering trophies for the honor of his clan.

How do you intend to play your predator (as in, describe HOW you will act/play your predator. This will weigh HEAVILY and frequently breaking from this MAY result in removal)?
As the predator I shall use my knowledge of stealth, the decades of training of close quarter combat of yautja weapons, down to using the plasma rifle (Haven't yet figured what the load out or what the pred will be armed with though I have a general idea what I shall be armed with, perhaps the glaive or bracers, and plasma rifle). Stalking its prey, luring it in then killing its prey with a final swoop. Implementing all the hunting practices and methods taught from the Elders of his clan. Ka'Torag-na Halkrath will relay on his keen instincts, with determination on what shall make worthy of prey, but has a hatred towards humans and xenos for the destruction of his clan, as he is a pred with no clan. Though quite impressed with how many others hunt, gets jealous of others, currently has a mad respect for Elders for if it weren't for the Elders, Ka'Torag-na Halkrath would of never made it. In which I shall use clever hunting tactics to hunt prey or use my elements as a advantage in a fight.

Why should we whitelist you?

Fairly known in the community, have been here back in Nostromo days, thought it be good to try out pred. Quite active on the server and adore the pred lore, seen some pred movies which I wish to sort of play in that perspective. Though I may be new to pred, I'll learn quickly, and adapt, fairly familiar with it.

Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason (we will check, and lies may result in immediate denial)? None to my knowledge

Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why? None

Do you understand that any player - donor or otherwise - can have their whitelist status revoked should they break our rules or disobey the Predator Code of Honor? I am fully aware of this and accept such terms if such rules/ Code of Honor is broken.

[Feweh]

Always liked you as a player.

Ill get back to this after other players comment.

[Shyguychizzy]

Alright Feweh, now for the waiting game, I wonder which player be first to comment, also thanks for the comment Feweh. .

[Shyguychizzy]

DISCLAIMER: So I made a minor mistake, I used this for yautja language due to not finding the link, so the word r'ka means xenomoprh. In the other link from the original link you have used it means fire. Heres what I have been using, feel free to use. http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Yautja_language

+1 Good player, won't die easily as a predator.

[ShortTemperedLeprechaun]

+1. I'll give ya the benefit of the doubt here. Been a competant player from what I've seen.

[Shyguychizzy]

Thanks for noticing my competence as a player. I do try to be competent a player whenever I play in CM as CO or any other roles, for it does make the round or game go forward rather delay things.

[Shyguychizzy]

I have noticed a bit of some grammar issues with my own pred app not going to lie, some spelling, one word Proved was supposed to be provide. Anyhow please do comment any issues regarding grammar, back story wise, or pred lore wise. To me it sounds good but little bit of your personal opinion how well the background story was, I do wonder what's your thought of the pred app and of the background story. Though I already know it's too late to edit and revise mistakes.

We're not grammar nazi's, trust me on this one. We may be crucial and judging, but not gramma nazi

[forwardslashN]

I think you're a good player, even though I've never heard of you until I saw your IC name. You need to be more active on the forums. As for the application itself, the background was a bit lacking in several areas, though the intent was alright. Neutral for now.

[Shyguychizzy]

@forwardslashN I due apology for the inactivity in the forums, I do tend try to be active in the forums, though I rarely post of personal posts. Indeed lacked a bit in areas, unfortunately was unable to revise. I'll try to be a bit more active in the forums, though unable to fix my background of what I lacked. I do appreciate your feedback of what I lacked and my inactivity in forums.

Most of my experience with your character hails from you slotting in for CO, and here's what first came to mind after looking over your app; your grammar and punctuation's surprisingly better than what you put on display while in game. I'm not overly concerned with grammar and such in itself, although with roleplay I've always considered it a show of effort. And I don't mean to be rude or anything, but if you're to fill in for roles with an emphasis on RP as is the case when playing the CO or Predator and thus put on a pedestal, then I'd (personally) appreciate more effort on that end.

As far as your ingame roleplay goes; I really didn't look forward to rounds with you as the CO and had a hard time taking you and/or your character seriously. However, that's personal preference and could additionally be down to you deliberately choosing to play in a certain manner, so I'm not sure I can even knock you for that. I genuinely believe that you're a competent player though (from an OOC standpoint) and that you're capable of efficiently filling in for just about any slot and that alone makes you a pretty valuable player.

On the topic of the background story; the revenge get-up is fairly standard, but I'm not too big on story writing myself and don't consider them a necessity in order to gauge a player's ability to roleplay at all. They're more like the icing on the cake, but seldom translate well into more action-oriented games, if at all.


Honestly I think it would be interesting to see you hop on the server playing a different character for once, to see how you would manage under different circumstances. Not going to +1/-1 this though, just here to share my impressions. Good luck with this regardless.

I do appreciate your feedback, yeah as CO I do try to be competent CO not much RP, in hopes to push forward the round, sometimes it ends bad on our behalf. I do try RP at times though is roughly rare at times when as CO, whenever I get to be as marine or a squad leader, or even a specialist, a bit more RP I put in. Indeed I reckon I shall put more effort in RP, I am capable of such, though the comment about trying a new character, I am unsure if I may. Over the years I built up the character Balto''Crunk''Dreg I see how a name like that name can't be taken seriously. Perhaps, I think I'll step down for a bit from command roles, be CO whenever I feel or switch it up time to time, I remember I always played as SL being a competent SL, as well RP more taken seriously. I honestly thank you for you feedback, feeling I lacked RP in which I sorta do, in which I hopes can improve, perhaps I'll even try being CL. In hopes in improving my RP and to have a tad more fun, I'll go back into my roots, and play as a marine once again, rarely I play as a marine.

I've seen your name pop up in command role quite a lot and you've my respect for doing such a thing. I read over your app and even if it has its flaws, I feel you've a decent application and I'd love to see more of you. I'll give you a chance and place a +1.

Looking forward to see how you play the role if you get accepted ^^

Appreciate your comment and what you said, I try to be command or CO to sorta make the round interesting, or even make it move forward, rather a 4 hour round on main map. Also, like being CO because at times there are no command staff on when there are small pop or even high pop at times. Sometimes I over do it as CO but what can you say, it is only a medium RP, I try to spice it up a little time to time. Indeed, you shall see more of me for I do try and be on for quite some time, rather it be on forums or in game,

[Feweh]

Stickied for final review.

+1

[Shyguychizzy]

I did intend to say thanks for all of your comments and all the support from you all, though lately I am quite busy at the moment irl was unable to get the service to post this bit on forums. I may be inactive quite a bit for this week due to a camping vacation, so if you think "-1 to being inactive" or perhaps "Nuetrel due to haven't seen you in a while in game or on forums" it's due to camping trip I am currently am on. Service is bad here, I do check forums a bit when I can. I'll be back in a week or so, more likely soon be back at CM, as a muhreen. Also if you be wondering where is Balto"Crunk"Dreg, we'll I am on a camping trip. Anyhow, thank you all for your support and time to go over my pred app either viewing or leaving comment.

[Sarah_U.]

You still have my +1 since you're properly handling your application and informing people of your lack of presence... Furthermore, your dedication to check the forums itself is a proof of dedication imo. I'll stick with what I said.

[Whistle]

+1 from me, Crunk was always a welcome sight in the brief room as someone to rely on.

[Shyguychizzy]

I have returned from the camping trip and shall be back on forums, and back on CM. I will be checking forums and CM or rather be on them regularly I have usaully have been. Thanks @Sarah_U and @Whistle for your feedback while I was away, and for what you said @Sarah_U.

[TR-BlackDragon]
