Dhi'rauta Halkrath (Cunning Shadow) Blooded

[Shadowkiller104]

Byond ID: Shadowkiller105

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

\When I do play as a Marine, which is not very often, I roll as Cade McMullen. I will state that I have not been on for months as I am usually admining over at ArchAngel/Absolution and so most of my time on Byond is dedicated to there but I do come by to play at times.

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

Dhi'rauta Halkrath (Cunning Shadow)

Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor?

Indeed. I would like to point out that there are several examples within the Predators/Yautja's lore in which that Code of Honor is disregarded as with the first two Predator films and within the AVP series as well. If you have noticed with the cloaking rule on that list, there are several times within the first film in which the Predator had killed several humans while cloaked and with the plasmacaster despite there being no honor in killing those that can't see who are cloaked. I imagine that the cloaking idea may not apply when it comes to facing off against Xenomorphs as they can see the Predator even when he is cloaked. I am not implying that I will ignore the cloaking rules when it comes to facing off against Marines but I wanted to point out that within lore there have been cases in which that rule is not in place.

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

Dhi'rauta had taken his trials during his training as a Young Blood and faced off against his peoples' sacred foe, the Xenomorph, as part of his trials. During these trials, Dhi'rauta focused on nothing else but his foes and stalked them with the obvious intent of taking their skulls as his trophy. In one instance, he was forced to engage two Xenomorph Warriors at the same time and he had no choice but to react quickly and hold his ground. Through a long and bitter skirmish that resulted in several cuts and wounds to himself, he finally grappled the two Warriors and crushed their necks when they had let their own guard down.

After removing their skulls and marking his Bio-Mask with his clan's symbol, he had engaged in aiding his fellow brothers when they were overwhelmed by attacking the Xenomorphs from the shadows when they did not realize that he was there. It would be known that he had carefully engaged his foes in situations that would result in heavy casualties to the Xenomorphs, especially coming from the shadows without his cloaking field on. Dhi'rauta was noted to have obtained the most skulls out of his fellow brothers but through his capability to work along with his brothers and aid in keeping them alive when they proved they were strong, none of them were slain on that day.

Ever since, Dhi'rauta has been scouting the galaxy, looking for more prey to hunt. Some were within what the Yautja would refer as "Concrete Jungles" (props if you get that reference) and even on the open field or jungles on any planet he had visited. It was not his intent to maim and kill, it was to ensure that his legacy would never be forgotten as his honor was above all else.

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)?

My playstyle would be to follow my target to a place where they are isolated before striking but if I am, for example, hunting an Xenomorph and there is a Marine trying to defend themself from the Xenos, I will try to help them if it is to my advantage or if the Marine has already proven they are a capable warrior. It is not my intent to just simply go in and murder every single Xenomorph in the game as that wouldn't be fun at all and it would just ruin rounds for people. Same basic concept applies to if I hunt Marines. If the target I am stalking ends up getting maimed or harmed, I may take interest in protecting and nursing that target, should they be human of course, or bring that human back to the other Marines for medical aid before setting off to look for more prey.

Why should we whitelist you?:

This is something I can not answer because I am not any of you. I can not tell you why you should whitelist me, only you can. If there are questions you may have that you want answers to, I shall give them to you to the best of my capabilities as I am very interested in playing as a Predator and I have always held the AVP franchise close to my heart.

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 never been banned to my knowledge and if anything, I have reported times where players have broken the rules and when I have accidentally goofed like when I played as a Crusher when they first came out and rammed the Sulaco's hull and went into space. The depressurization caused twenty players to die as they kept getting hit by several objects and in essence, it was my own fault but I made sure to tell CoronelJones immediately when it happened.

Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why?:

To the best of my memory, I am not currently banned on any server. There was a time, about two to three years ago, I was job banned on a server that I can't even remember the name of because it was my first time playing as an AI and I was an idiot and accidentally messed with consoles and let the Singularity get released. I was not given a warning, it was just an immediate job ban. I have made sure not to further generate any offenses or rule breaking throughout the rest of my time on SS13 servers.

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?

If I did not understand that, I would never have applied. By applying, I am saying that I am willing to accept the judgement of others, whether it be that I get this or not, and understand that whatever I do may result in your judgement being an acceptance or denial in my request.

I have no expertise with predator knowledge or lore so I can not say much but here is my opinion.

First off this picture.


Never change the colour of the text unless you want to make it readable in some fashion or form. (Like very bright blue for an example but I'm not the one to make decisions on this.)

It does seem you put some effort into this regarding why you want to play and overall it was in a formal manner. But on the topic of your background,it seems to be void of some important aspects that I can't really pin to this.
Your marine character seems to be somewhat similar to me but it's vauge to just me but after stalking you in one round the RP is good but that's just one round, I'll give you that.

That's all for now really.

Good luck in this app or the next.

[Shadowkiller104]

Yeah. I was going to fix the text color but then I was locked out. It was a bad call to turn it black on grey, I didn't even know why I made it like that.

[forwardslashN]

Neutral
Colors aside, pretty decent, though a little vague. Yautja are thought to mark their foreheads with their clan symbol in most clans, but marking their mask works too. I wish you had an actual answer for why you should be whitelisted, because I am unfamiliar with you. Your account is old enough, but your posts are from today and yesterday, and I've never seen you in the game.

[SASoperative]

My feels when this was my name prior to the whitelist wipe. Not even going to attempt to read that black on grey though...

[Shadowkiller104]

If you want my personal opinion on why I should be whitelisted is that I feel that not only are Predators not seen often on the server, according to my own experiences mind you, but that I believe that I am mature enough to stick with the rules as close as I can and I'm never afraid to admit I'm wrong. It was a color mistake on my end and if I had the opportunity to fix it, I would. All I can do is just copy and repaste what I said so it appears easier to read if that is allowable in this instance.

[Feweh]

You had two posts on the forums when you posted this.
Barely any community activity since you registered back in AUG.

Your application is ok, but I have no idea who you are so it's irrelevant.

When I do play as a Marine, which is not very often, I roll as Cade McMullen. I will state that I have not been on for months as I am usually admining over at ArchAngel/Absolution and so most of my time on Byond is dedicated to there but I do come by to play at times.

Why would you even apply if you haven't been on in MONTHS, you have no idea whats going on in the game or even community itself? Spend some time in the community and playing the game before applying.

If you would prefer me to not be honest and tell you why you may not exactly know me, I still would not lie. I used to play on CM for awhile, before you were even a Moderator I believe. Only last year was when I made a forum account here. I stopped playing CM as much when I became an admin in Absolution a year ago. There were times when I took breaks but I used the random name feature in game to change up my characters.

I would like to point out that my original point of this account was to apply for the whitelist while I was slightly better known. It seems now that it was rather too late and pointless. Nonetheless, I will await judgement and the mistakes made on the application. Still, I thank you for your decision, albeit it was one I did not desire, as it provides constructive criticism.

I've been a Mod for the last 8-9 months now and before that Mentor for about 2months.

It's great and all that you aren't lying regarding your activity, but even if you didn't tell us that I know you're not around. I'm on quite often and always on the forums.. your name and account isn't familiar at all. Part of being whitelisted for Predator involves familiarity and known player activity. I applaud you for being a Admin elsewhere, but that's your choice to play ANOTHER server and not ours.

Wait, what? Mentors have only been around for like, 6 months though. But either way, i'm with feweh on this, I don't think you should've made this account ONLY for a whitelist. The forums are here for you to talk about the game, address issues, see whats going on development-wise, and to communicate with other members of the community.

Check Staff applications section, SAS originally posted that in October for Mentors. Yet i was already a Mentor before he opened up applications to the public. So my math is about right.

[SASoperative]

Feweh is correct. I had hand picked three to four mentors before applications became public. He was one of them.

[Shadowkiller104]

I'd be fine if this is denied. I made a mistake and I should try to be on more often. Apophis, if you would, go ahead and slap that denied on here, it'd make this easier.

I hope to see you more involved in CM as you seem like quite a logical and fair individual.

[Feweh]

Denied.
Read back on my previous posts for inprovements.
Also dont write anything in black next time.
