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

Name of the character you want whitelisted (The name your predator will use. This must match your in-game predator name):
Dawt'zshi Okri (Almost Okay)

Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor?
Yes

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

► Show Spoiler

In every society there is always the cream of the crop and then there is the rest. The rest that can be rated on how far they are from the best of the best. Those that bathe in the sun light of greatness and glory and those that sit in their shadows. Dawt'zshi Okri was one of such creature, a mediocre hunter, sitting in the shadows of another hunter's greatness but he was content to doing so. He didn't possess any remarkable talents nor qualities that made him unique. He was a supporting character in most stories. He rarely took big risks for 'big payouts', content to sit in the shadows, observe and assist others instead.

Dawt'zshi Okri prefers to hunt under the command of another hunter. He prefers not hunting alone but with others. He feels it is more enjoyable this way and his purpose.

Not a particularly prideful or egotistical creature, one thing that he did take pride in was his honour, duty and loyalty. Honour was the most important, death before dishonour was a frequent thought. He felt it was his duty to serve those stronger than him. Loyalty was important too but not if those he was serving proved to be weak and/or dishonourable.

Not long ago, the hunter that he was serving proved to be dishonourable by using a ranged weapon in an honourable duel. He had no reason to use such a weapon only that his fear of death overtook his honour. Not long after the dishonourable hunter had cheated and won the duel was that Dawt'zshi Okri cut him down without hesitation. The universe has no place for dishonourable hunters.

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 plan to play as a observer and minion type. Roaming around observing and looking for RP encounters and working with (and under) other preds on projects rather than hunting solo. While I may hunt solo from time to time, I'll use this time to try and find someone to partner with. Perhaps a Marine with that has displayed great acts of courage and bravery or a xenos that has displayed honour. I don't plan to ally myself with any side unless there was a VERY good RP reason for it rather an individual player.

Why should we whitelist you?
If you want a minion type predator in your games or another honourable predator.

Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason (we will check, and lies may result in immediate denial)?
No bans in the last month! But an 1 hour EORG ban on June 15th though.

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

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?
Absolutely. Honour is the most important thing to a yautja and I'll not be dishonourable.

Story was meh, you should have put more into it, the way you play it...kinda boring to be fair, but its just my taste, i'm just confused the way you said "work with other predators", do you want to hunt together or just...watch him hunt? anyway, Ezra is a good character and if it is for him i'll give you a +1, for the story? -1, try to improve a little more

For now I'm sticking to neutral, I have not seen you play very much personally so I can't say much on that only on how I've seen you play as a mod. As a mod you're very good at replying to CL faxes which to me has shown you're fairly good at RP but I dunno from this app I just feel the story could've been better like lucas said.

I know my opinion doesn't really matter in the final outcome because it's up to staff, but I really like the unique way you plan on playing your Predator. Most people just would go solo, but it's cool to see you want to work with or under other predator's. However, like others have said, your backstory isn't the best. If you expand on it some more, it'd be a really nice story, in my opinion.

The story doesn't really make sense from a lore perspective. Yautja base their society around the Hunt, and that is how they promote in life. They are solitary hunters, though they sometime work in small groups or packs for a common goal, and each individual hunter is responsible for his or her own trophies and accomplishments. In terms of gameplay, teaming up with another predator the majority of the time wouldn't work, as you are both expected to Hunt and fight individually. And one important detail that has gone sort of left out recently is territory. Yautja will often claim a Hunting territory and will not allow other Yautja to use it. These are not unbreakable tenants, but I don't think your idea would work out in practice, and it doesn't show much understanding of the lore.

[Warnipple]

I'll work on the story. I tried to fill too many criteria when writing it and it turned into a convoluted mess and being that it was 6am in the morning too.

My goal is to write a story of a mediocre hunter. There are good hunters and then there are the not-so-good hunters.

+0.5

I know you fair enough, seeing as we are online and doing mod stuff at mostly the same time. You're a solid guy, but as noted by N the backstory is a bit inconsistent with Yautja lore.

Weak application and you're newly to staff.
