Ka'Torag-na'Setg'in ( Lurking Danger )

[Nightwolf901]

Byond ID: Nightwolf901

Marine Name (so we know who you are, if you play alien mostly, state that here): Nyxia 'Fifty' Cals

Name of the character you want whitelisted (The name your predator will use. This must match your in-game predator name): Ka'Torag-na'Setg'in - I have talked with Biolock ( Current Top that is using Setg'in ) about using his clan name and I have his permission to do so.

Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor?: Yes, Very much so that i read it over twice before even deciding to make this over and over again.

Character background (A very BRIEF description of your predators background): Ka'Torag-na was seen as a explosive tempered type when she ( Or he if we must ) hunted game. She was not a young-blood too long ago as she had made her worthy hunt on a serpent. The duel was placed in the forest. The Hunt began for her as she mainly stayed quiet and lurked. Her sight on the crusher as it stomped massively through the forest. Stomp. Stomp. Shake. Stomp. It was dashing off towards a place unknown to her, Questioning herself as she lurked in the darkness. Her cloak active as she cackled to herself. This prey was seemingly interesting. The crusher looked around after hearing her cackles. A dumb move for her as she slowly approached the Crusher. Uncloaking before reaching within 15ft of the serpent she gave a studying eye before waiting to see what it would do. Quietness. . . . . A loud roar emitted from the crusher. A roar returned from Ka'Torag-na as she unsheathed the ceremonial dagger. A low thought weapon to be used in combat. She didn't mutter anything as she circled the crusher. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. Had grew louder and louder as the serpent charged towards her. A creaking smile formed from her as she ran forwards towards the crusher. A questioning move indeed towards ones action before stepping off towards the side slicing the crusher with the dagger. The crusher roared loudly before running towards her with a earth-quaking stomp following it. Her movement went to a steady as she focuses keeping herself up. The battle had kept its light on as slowly it lead in her advantage. Her mandibles moved quickly as she had planned for the crusher to charge towards her once more. Both of them scarred in combat as she had more burns across her arms. Later approaching as they charged towards each other she had moved behind the serpent in terms hoping it would try to ram her with its frontal tank like chitin plate. She grabbed onto its face and pulled herself up with a jump as well and stabbed downwards behind chitin plate into its neck repeatedly ending in a victorious battle for Ka'Torag-na.

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)?
I intend to play Ka'torag-na as a combative examiner. I would rather lurk around ones i see that are "Hunt Worthy" and study how they move and act. Depending on their actions and how they move about is when i'll think of fighting them. I do not intend to play nice when fired at or even aimed at. I seek simply what will be a good hunt rather than a forced hunt. My actions par taking in taunting slowly and messing with their vision and sight before actually doing a fight.

Why should we whitelist you?
Honestly? I don't think you should whitelist me but I can only guess a lot of people say that. I generally love to RP and have amazing fights instead of "GUN GUN GUN KILL KILL KILL". Sure it may be fun at times and gives happy moments but it just... happens to easily and then I try to handicap myself to have a little challenge. Hints why I have a Robo Arm, Robo leg, and I always wear a beret if it's not late late. Being a Predator can change that in many ways. Examples is, They can survive a lot more and deal with a lot of stuff unlike a weak human body. Building Lodges and planning how to set it up. Hunting with only a few others instead of a lot of marines who end up friendly firing. That's really all I can say about why you should Whitelist me.

Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason (we will check, and lies may result in immediate denial)?
I did have a ban but it was a accidental ban on part of misreading on the names. Feweh had accidentally typed my name in a report i had made against a marine who killed me over punching him because of many reasons. The note was removed of that because it was a accidental.

Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why?: No i am not banned from any other servers primarily because i don't play on the other servers. I was once banned on a station called Urist McStation but it was because of a misunderstanding between the admins and me.

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?
Yes, No one is Special and no one is better than the other in this case, It's more fair and punishingly towards everyone instead of being a special snowflake with a warning.

Weren't you the same person that tried to order a dress crate, demanded 3 weapon attachments as a Standard, and also refuses to wear standard issue armor because it slows you down?

I dunno, that doesn't sound like you enjoy RPing as much as you say you do. A real marine wouldn't be doing stuff like that.

Yes, but my reasoning for so was because the round was rarely even put up for RP. Generally I would follow whats needed and I usually go with a Mag, Gyro, Bayonet/Extended/or Rarely when i can get it a BC. Mostly a Extended barrel. I do take the Dress ordering forum to shame and it was poorly thought, but most of my RP comes towards Predators because thats really the only time i get to RP. Marines are... a bit hard to encounter with RP as another marine.

Think that was a joke the dress part, refusing standard issue armor is a issue because it is required, and Generally you get VERY, VERY, salty in chat, crying over small things, -1 from me, fix the salt, and I'll happily go to neutral, I'll observe you and a few rounds and might change it to +1 or -1 again, if you want to want to get this accepted, the main issue to the salt. -1 Until I see improvement on the things I said.

PFC-CPL are two unless given special permission, SGT+ are three, RO's may make things "Free". Your reasoning ((which I can barely read to make sense and I am going to assume what you are saying)) is that, no one was RPing so, I'll job on the train, If you can't RP always, then why apply for a super heavy RP position, where everyone criticizes you? If I could I would give it a -2 two just for that reasoning.

My general salt comes from actions that are abused or overall annoying. Like for one Tacklespamming nested marines. Its very uncalled for and is annoying. Another fact is Friendly fire, if you don't yell or get slightly mad towards someone its bad to not get onto them about it to teach them not to do it anymore. Another of i can honestly think of is engineers who don't do anything. Its bad enough not having light at all. Light is a Marine's best weapon over anything, and not having a FOB to fallback too or even have upfront defenses is saddening. I don't want to salt a lot but i don't always do it. Only when i find it overly done.

EDIT//////////////
Theres no hoping on a Job train its just how most would want to play. I do try to encourage RP. Especially as we land and see Xenos. A wave and then a slow walk up to see what it is from a small distance. I follow the "If you are not harmed you shall not harm at all" rule that most marines fail to follow. If they see a Xeno they usually light it up with out given orders to do so and say "It was hostile!". That really kills any trust you encountered with and general gives off a bad show for any RP to happen.

Even though RP as a marine can be hard at times, that doesn't mean you should outright not bother. I never let that stop me, and while I might have trouble sometimes, I still try to keep in character (for the most part at least) and within my position that I am given. Sure, this means being forced to deal with marine weaknesses (such as being made slower with armor on), but I still go with it because when I play, I don't powergame. Not that it matters much anywho, in a game like this, it is all about losing with grace over winning gloriously. And as some know, I am all about those last stands.

Being a predator is the same thing. It isn't about kickin ass so much as it is about the experience. You might go a round and die before you get a single wall mount for the collection, or go a full round from start to finish without being able to get into a fair fight the whole time... And don't get me started on when the hunter becomes the hunted.

To be good at RP, you have to accept that you aren't playing to win, you are playing for the experience.

If I am seeing harsh sorry, I do not try and come out like this. "Abusing features like Tackle Spamming" Tackle Spamming is something that, is needed, then just annoying, sometimes you have to "tackle spam" because the host got out. FF is annoying, do I get pissed, yes, but you make a big deal out of it, shit happens and this is a 2'D spess man game, shit happens, and it's a game, annoying things happen, if you can't get realise that then just another thing to the pile, Having no FOB is commands fault, and usually marines don't care to listen, that happens. Your response only just adds to what I said in general, that you get salty to often, I will gladly change it to a neutral, but you need to fix the salt.

I don't play to win. I say this because I have mainly experienced in a lot of differently played rounds. Losing or winning doesn't matter it's only about how you play in it. Don't force anything but don't let anything just slip through. I will try more to stick more character wise when I play more often as you spoke about. I don't find myself as a powergamer really. I don't think i've done much of any powergaming.. other than maybe finding my self running with a riot shield, Gyroshotgun, and a roller bed to help fallen marines, but i don't think that falls into powergaming.

I completely understand your statement and i'll try to lessen the NaCl in chat, Dchat, Mchat, and LOOC. Rarely do I fall to Mchat when I do. I understand its just a game but if you say something about it enough times this mainly falling towards FF, You can make a person learn to actually watch themselves. I've fallen in that line when I was a survivor with Saul Freyita. I had accidentally shot him over a xeno that was a bit moving away. More or so I just want people to learn and think before going guns blazing towards a hidden or just barely in view hostile.

-1, due to you not believing you should be accepted for white list Predator. If you apply for a white list position and think you don't deserve it, it ends right there. You have to have the confidence that you can play the role, or else you're just kind of saying you want to play it because it's cool and not because you think you can honor the position.

I didn't say I shouldn't be whitelisted. I just pointed the face that a lot of people say that. I said my reasoning why i should.

[Sarah_U.]

I'll be darn' honnest and say that the app was tedious to read. I didn't like the wording and grammar, it was simply tedious, mostly around the backstory.
From one point to another you're doing butchered transitions, no paragraph, etc. It's just messy and I disliked that.

On another note, you keep repeating "That's unwise" "that's stupid" (Not actual words, but yea) or putting judgements on what others think... Why? I don't like that kind of behavior, since you can't read other's thoughts and that you're forgetting a basic of storytelling.

All in all, your roleplay from what I read and saw is alright compared to some players, but you also miss a fundamental: The nature of a character and immersion. If you're trying to get a dress to go on a combat zone and shoot some xenos that way, then you're not a marine, but a clown.

Arguments like that, spiced with the fact that you said "You shouldn't whitelist me" in that kind of wording (Even thou the true intent seemed to be others would think you shouldn't), would make me lean toward a -1, BUT!

I still kind of appreciated the story, I liked some parts of it and there was potential in that there and there, you seem like a 'goofy person' (Take no offense to it, I mean it in a volatile, happy and kind way)... Which would mean you could step back from the full-on combat and try to do a few RPs especially with what I see in the app and around... So despite all this I will hold to a neutral, leaned toward a +1 due to see'ing you COULD take the role and do the job, but need to adress a few issues mentionned above prior to that. I don't want you denied straight off either, so please improve yourself and have fun while the app sit around.

Yes, I have noticed that my self but it was till after the lock of the post, I'm very sorry on my part for that. I have recently started to write stories but I haven't learn to make like a Backbone in a sense. I would of done Paragraph or Paragraphs if I felt safer knowing the lore of the Yutaja. Sadly I don't really know much but I plan to read up on it.

I had a dumb thought of putting a little narrating into the story for my self. Giving the reader and eye of what i could/would think. I am sorry for this. I do mean to improve on my actions for this.

This was my fault of being bored with the server. It was on semi lowpop and my thought through out the round had fallen our and just lost. I do plan to stop that plan my self and play the game with a Fist for immersion. Its hard to keep it but i will try mainly because Marines just.. shoot anything on first sight. I get it in a sense but its just a bad thing to follow.

I plan to do so and i thank you for your input.

"Honestly? I don't think you should whitelist me but I can only guess a lot of people say that."
Wait, what? I've seen you in game several times, and you do get pretty salty in dchat. Being level headed is pretty important for playing pred, since you get all kinds of salt both ways. In terms of the background and such, not really clear who your character is. I get that she enjoys fighting from the backstory, but she's also super curious about stuff? Not really sure. I don't think this is quite up to par, -1.
