[Fitchace]

Byond ID: Fitchace

Marine Name (so we know who you are, if you play alien mostly, state that here): Bill Carson

Name of the character you want whitelisted (The name your predator will use. This must match your in-game predator name): Ikthya-de H'dlak

Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor? Yes

Character background (A very BRIEF description of your predators background):

The day has come for this young blood to earn his right of passage. Countless months, practicing the art of wrist blades and undergoing painful training to prepare himself for the one day that will determine his life has come. He’s among four young bloods who journey to the Yautja Pyramid, this is where this Young Blood’s story begins. Hours go by, screams and howls echo the silent space in the pyramid walls, he stays crouched keeping his thoughts clear. Without warning a Young Blood runs passed his spot, a xenomorph skirting along the wall quickly jumps on its preys back viciously killing this poor Yautja. Standing up slowly from his hiding spot, he begins to trail his wrist blade along the wall calling attention to himself. Without warning the creature pounces at the Young Blood only to be sliced sending acid streaks through his armor. The creature makes one last fatal pounce sending the Young Blood on his back slashing at the Xenopmorph until dead. Quickly stripping off his armor his entire front torso is covered in acid wounds, the prize from his first kill.

It’s only been a few years since this Young Blood has earned its Blooded title known as, Ikthya-de H'dlak . However, persistence and patients has earned respect among his peers. After filling the many requests from females to produce great warriors, he spends his time navigating and searching for the perfect hunting grounds.


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)?


The predator role is a really powerful role to play as. I plan on playing this role conservatively, minimal contact with either side as much as possible without careful planning of a hunting strategy. I don’t plan on being a game changing element, just minor small skirmishes with my prey is what I intent. However, if one side is steamrolling the other, due to new players or something else I would purposefully be as least hostile as possible to that group.



Why should we whitelist you?

Among enjoying heavy RP, I understand the pain and suffering it takes to be successful on each side of the Colonial Marine teams (xeno/human). With that said I always have a good attitude 99.9% of the time, and would really enjoy being part of the Predator team.

Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason (we will check, and lies may result in immediate denial)?

I have not been banned in the last month

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?

Yes

Good attitude 99.9% of the time, yeah, funny joke, Bill "Mutiny" Carson.

Bill Carson, I've heard the name form some where, Bill Ca *choke on the R*son.
I think you might need a longer background, more than one paragraph, no joke.
Gelonvia's post should also hit on where most application would go wrong.
Gelonvia's Guide: http://cm-ss13.com/viewtopic.p ... t=Predator

A maybe, I'm NOT giving a -1 or a +1, will have to see how you did do as a Predator too.

Good Luck playing, but I will say this, playing mostly Marine does not really fit into the Predator's bills.
So you might want to play some successful Alien round too. Just saying because I do think Marine are Gung Ho some time.
By the way, it a Hunt Alien, Marine get in the way, hunt Marines and Aliens.

[SecretStamos (Joshuu)]

+1 from me.

Your application could have been a little better, but I like the way you play and I think you're funny.

[Fitchace]

Well the app has changed since Casca made hers, they wanted something brief so I gave something brief.

And I do play alien a lot, you just don't know it because I am just another alien with a number.

I thought Aliens hunted humans too, like in that Arnold movie who's name I can't remember.

[LocalizedDownpour]

Honestly I like it, a shame this predator cannot hunt the famed commander of the Sulaco Bill Carson. +1 all the same.

[Feweh]

Your application is very weak, there's nothing special to it at all.
Given that you're a well known player in-game and use RP for a excuse for a lot of your actions I expected better from you.

You're well involved in the community and a known player. However your playstyle is borderline subjective, you piss off a lot of players and cause A LOT of ahelps.
I actually don't mind your playstyle and I've stuck up for you on numerous time's from player reports/ahelps.

My issue from a personal experience with you while I've played Predator is poor.
Twice while I've been Predator I've been RPing with Marines only to have you come in and start shooting me. Completely ruining my Roleplay and the storyline I was trying to establish with the fellow marines. Once I could let it go, but TWICE really rubbed me the wrong way. Especially when there was no reason for you to be shooting at Predators from that situation and it seemed more like you were after gear.


I don't think you'd be a good Predator at all.
You're a very selfish player who often further his goals in-game by using fellow players as shields and cannon fodder. Your character and playstyle makes for a very entertaining situation to watch, however dealing with you can become a nuisance after awhile. You aren't a rule breaker, but you're also no a team-player which is not the type of player you want to have playing Predator.

Given how poor your application was and how you consistently piss people off in-game I don't possibly see how you being in such a important position will translate well for everyone in-game.
I think a lot of people will +1 you solely based off of your "celeb" name in-game and I really think that's wrong given the application you've put out here.

-1

From the Predator Code of Honor

Claiming the Kill of Another Hunter: To take the Trophy of another Yautja, living or dead, is considered to be a great insult. If a Yautja is engaging prey in combat you should not interfere unless directly given permission. No matter how powerful the prey might be.

It doesn't sound like a team to me, other predators may be friendly with each other but it doesn't sound like they fight the same targets. So that would be a good role for me since I don't play as a team according to you.

Your application is very weak, there's nothing special to it at all.

So what my BRIEF story isn't a A+, isn't the HOW and WHY questions the most important? I gave an honest answer on how I'm going to play the role, that's what matters. Now how shiny and how entertaining my background story is.

Twice while I've been Predator I've been RPing with Marines only to have you come in and start shooting me.....It seemed more like you were after gear.

I always shoot at predators most of the time, they are creatures, monsters from another planet.
I have never taken gear off a predator.

Given that you're a well known player in-game and use RP for a excuse for a lot of your actions I expected better from you.

I mean, isn't that how it's supposed to work? Roleplay and then action?

Given how poor your application was and how you consistently piss people off in-game.

I'm sorry people get angry at me for my non rule breaking legitimate role play but that's more of a personal problem on their side.

You say my application is really poor but don't give evidence on where it is poor, like what qualities are you not satisfied with it.

Admin (maybe Staffs too) is probably in charge of Predator. Of course Bill Carson is liable for his action.

I thoroughly enjoy you as player in-game, you're very unique and interesting.
However your playstyle is very selfish and doesn't translate well to being Predator. Predator's are very sensitive to complaints and issues... having a player who is known to be problematic and who generates massive amount of issues is not someone you want in such a delicate position. Given your history of notes and problems you would NOT be a good fit for Predators, most other knowledgeable staff members would say the same as I am.

As far as you shooting at Predators on-sight... It's not ridiculous that you do so, but to interrupt role-play and not promote it so often is the definition of whats wrong with your character and you in general. Your form of role-play is to cause problems and you very much so enjoy chaos. You then act upon that chaos with actions which often time leads to hostility and problems.

As I said, I applaud Bill Carson on most occasions.. but your attitude and the way you carry yourself in-game limits you to certain positions within the community.
As far as your application being weak, go look at others... I don't need to point out the obvious.

[Ms.Degrasse]

Once Bill Carson - as a commander - told Erika 'Hunter' Degrasse - as a MP - to arrest an entire platoon who was "rioting at requisitions". When she came there, she saw no riot in place, but a sleeping officer and marines trying to get their attachments, so she told him she was going to arrest the Req. Officer instead for neglect of duty, she cryoed the officer and dished out a situation that would actually escalate into an actual riot if she had decided to follow his orders literally.

Erika's thoughts on him? "This is either a jerk of a commander who wants to cause trouble, or a too impulsive one who didn't cared about observing what was in fact happening on the cameras. I can't trust him until I figure what is the case."

On other round I played as Sadako Voorhees - as a commander - and interacted with Bill Carson - as an executive officer.
And...? He did what was necessary, respected the chain of command the entire time, and was still the same exact guy, only in an different position. And actually we won that round!
During the round, a lot of characters came and said stuff like "Bill Carson will get us all killed", or showed some paranoia regarding him getting the nuclear bomb. (Stuff that, for Sadako, actually isn't actually of her concern.)

Sadako's thoughts on him? "Is him somene like me? Good question. But I have the perfect team mate here, who complements my cold blooded thinking with his energetic will to act, and as such we compelled the marines into a bloody victory!"

Now removing my two characters from the equation?

What I see here is a player who, indeed, know how to work in a team!
- In Both examples, he listened to my character's opinions then reacted accordingly and favorably to the situation.
Appearing to be more of someone who acts too much on impulse, instead of a troublemaker.

Is this a characteristic of him as a player or actually something of his character? I don't know yet.

But I am sure the only way to know if we have a good roleplayer here, a player who stuck to a unique pattern instead or even someone who is using roleplay as an excuse for something else, is giving him a disctinct character to play with!

Bill Fucking Carson....nuff said.... +1

[forwardslashN]

I like Bill Carson, and I even joked about Bill Carson for Predator 2016, but when it comes down to it, I'm not sure. You're a really polarizing force in the community and I'm also not really sure what makes your predator specifically interesting or unique based on your application, so I'd have to go with neutral for right now.

[Feweh]

Denied.

Too controversial, weak story, consistent warnings handed out and a few job bans.

Re-apply and improve those aspects next application.
