Dhi'Rauta Vor'mekta (Cunning Stalker)

[TheMusician321]

Byond ID:TheMusician321

Marine Name (so we know who you are, if you play alien mostly, state that here):Ed 'Wafflecone' Martin, I also play Ravager half of the time.

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

Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor? Yes I am familiar with the code I also grew up watching the AvP and Predator movies and playing the AvP games, in particular the 2010 version.

Character background (A very BRIEF description of your predators background): Dhi'Rauta Vor'mekta, a short Yautja, standing at a mere 6'1 compared to his brethren who, to him seem to reach into the sky with their size , at first he felt ashamed, weak, but then he learned how to use his short height to his advantage, preferring to use stealth and finesse to hunt his prey, he is a fast hunter, owing to his smaller stature and size, rushing his prey uncloaked, ready with his chosen weapon.

CRASH! He strikes, his prey is surprised by the sudden attack and his new orifice, the prey whirls around

SLASH! He slashes his blade horizontally and his prey screams, is it in pain? Or is it in anger? Dhi'Rauta does not know, he falls back, readying up another strike.

BANG! Dhi'rauta is hit! His prey have their casters that fire metal, he dodges, with skill and finesse befitting his size.

STAB! His prey, the marine finally falls, Dhi'rauta roars in victory as he claims his head, ripping it off the marine's shoulders.

'I can do it he says to himself, he will prove himself worthy, his size be damned, he will be the Yautja his father was, and his father's father before him, he will make them proud, all of them.

He will be the Hunter.

He will be the Cunning Stalker.


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 my predator like how i play my Ravager with hit and runs, spot a particular Ayy/Marine that I hunt, rush in, hit him a few times, rush back and do it again from another angle, I will try to attack those who are particularly skilled in melee combat, such as fighting Ravagers, Hunters, and going for Riotshield/B18 marines, those with shotguns or decide to use a machete, I will try to restrict in using my plasma cannon unless I am completely swarmed and need to escape, I will also restrict the use of my cloak as Dhi'Rauta Vor'mekta wants to prove that he can be stealthy without the cloak as he is a particularly short Yautja and has an inferiority complex about his height.

Why should we whitelist you?

I believe I should be whitelisted as I can make the round more fun with my actions, as I spot a group of marines doing nothing and getting bored, I can charge in and pick out a particular marine to harass, such as killing his friends all around him to provoke him into fighting harder, and try to RP as much as I can with the marines as I feel that there is not enough Pred RP but more Pred killing us all and completely wrecking us, I also enjoy watching Predator players play and want to be a part of that because it looks like I could cause so much fun and chaos and scare the living bejeezus out of one marine that somehow got left behind.


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

Yes I have been banned for End Round Grief by killing myself with a surgical drill for 20 minutes by Coroneljones, which IMO was a completely justified ban and i have learned from that and promise to never ERG again.


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

I have no bans from any other 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?

Yes i understand that whitelist statuses can be revoked if rules are broken or they disobey the code of honor.

Forum activity is severely lacking, the background is short.

And I quote, "charge in and pick a particular marine to harass, such as killing all his friends around him."

"I feel there is not enough pred RP but more pred killing us all and completely wrecking us."

These statements are contradictory, and I'd like to add that we're not a mass-murder role and never will be. (Barring War, but that happens very rarely.)

As for where you drew your inspiration for the role, the Predators in both movies and games don't follow the honor code, you'll notice by their liberal use of the plasmacaster to kill and the killing people while cloaked.

Until I have more time to critique, that's all I have to add.

[TheMusician321]

The games use of the plasmacaster are entirely dependant on the player isn't it? My only excuse for forum activity is that I don't have much to say on whatever here,I'll try to be more active, and the charge and pick a particular marine to harass was left-over from my old app that got denied cause of account age that i edited a few times, i'll remove it as I was half-asleep while making this, Also in the Predator movies, with Arnold Schwarzenegger, I forgot the name he chose Dutch to leave alive by killing all of his friends and he did follow the honor code from what I remember, it's been a while since I've watched the movies, I'm updating the background as we speak (type?) For the movies use in AvP Requiem I believe he used it as he was being swarmed by a lot of aliens and in the 2004 movie, he was also being swarmed.


edit: RIP I can't edit the original post, should I just make a new topic and ask for this one to be deleted?

You're not allowed to edit an hour after the application is made, and you'd have to wait 3 months to re-apply if you asked for this one to be deleted.

You'll notice that in the original Predator movie, the Jungle Hunter was obliterating most of them with his plasma caster. That does not follow the honor code as they didn't directly interfere with his hunt. A situation which, on CM, would be handled by isolating the marine from his squad instead of meaninglessly slaughtering them.

Using the plasma caster is optional in the game, but it is here too. This point is invalid.

[TheMusician321]

Rip, been while since I've seen the movie, always thought that he melee'd them.

[TheMusician321]

Also to clarify things, I mostly draw my code of honor from the comics, I forgot to include that in, such as Fire and Stone (Think thats what it was called.)

Hey Ed,

I'll do my best to keep this short and sweet.

I've had my share of interactions with you in game, and while you've by no means ever done anything wrong by my book, you still seem 'green', for lack of a better term.
The bio is short and to the point, but on the same token I just don't feel like its up to the standards set by other accepted applications. I won't bother going into detail on the stuff that Boltersam mentioned, as he did fairly well covering them anyway.

Afraid I'll have to stick a -1 on this one, as I just don't think it's quite up to par.

[TheMusician321]

That's all right, i'll be a lot less green in 3 months anyway, and it probably wasn't a good idea to write this at 6AM in the morning after staying up all night playing Ayy.

As Boltersam has stated, I quite agree with his findings, I as well as I have noticed this. For a predator, we have an honor code so we aren't mass murder boning faction or factor, the Honor code helps as well balance us so we just don't go around killing everything though the movies quite portray a different aspect, sorta see why for some responses in your app. Quite not grasping the honor code, though refer to the movie method, I respect that but nope. You do say "charge in and pick a particular marine to harass, such as killing all his friends around him."if you do this method or plan on doing so, sorta is quite misleading, as well as I can see many players/marines reporting this issue, as he states "These statemments are contradictory ", I quite agree with that. From your method, this would cause more issues, as well as it seems you don't quite grasp the Honor Code, from what you did say, quite violates many Honor Code rules. The Honor Code is something that should be followed, regardless due to my story or whatever. Going with a -1.

[TheMusician321]

Is all good man, i'll reapply in 3 months and fix this, hopefully when i'm not drunk and half asleep at 6am in the morning.

Denied

No idea who you are and the application is sub-par.
