Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor? I am, the Code of Honor is structured in a way that someone with a good understanding of the Predators, but who did not read this servers Code of Honor, would generally do be able to avoid violating it. I also tend to read the rules on a semi-regular basis, more so I can be familiar with the rules for the rare times I see Predators in game.
Character background: To keep it brief (and I'm really bad with stories)
► Show Spoiler
Most Predators hold very xenophobic views towards non-Yautja species, at least outside of the hunt. Kwei Ikthya-de is a exception to this standard, who holds Humans in high regard, to the chagrin of many of his comrades.
During one of Kwei's earliest hunts as a Young Blood, he was tracking a Lion like creature on a arid world, a powerful opponent even to a Yautja. For several days Kwei was trying to track down this prey, after it was able to shake the young Yautja off its trail. Two days had passed when Kwei had picked up the creatures trail and caught up with it, coming around a hill he witnessed the creature circling around a smaller, bipedal creature, it wore torn clothing and was wielding a elongated but sharpened wooden stick.
Kwei realised this was a Human, he had spotted a large ship filled with Humans approaching this planet when Kwei arrived, and he saw a settlement filled with the Humans on the surface. The Predator held no expectations that the Human would triumph against his prey. Its frontal armoured skin made it impervious to the melee weapons used by the Human, and the Human in turn was suffering from heavy injuries. The creature charged at the Human, but the Human held its ground. Holding its arm out, the Human instead used its own arm as a shield, as the creature bite into the Humans arm, the Human was able to push the creature upwards and expose its underside, with this the Human threw aside the stick and withdrew a pistol from a hidden holster, thrusting it underneath the creatures head, the Human fired round after round after round until the creature finally expired.
The Predator was forced to withdraw at this junction, as it noticed multiple armed and armoured Humans were rapidly converging onto its position, Humans that arrived from the incoming ship it appeared. Kwei knew he was in no position to engage with heavily armed Humans, for half a day Kwei engaged in a game of cat and mouse in the jungle, as the Humans believed him to be a second Lion creature. Kwei was able to evade and hide from the Humans even by hiding in plain sight at times.
While Kwei left the planet disappointed and, more so, humiliated that he failed in his hunt, he nonetheless gained a unique insight into the Humans. His emotions torn, on one hand he despised how the Human resorted to a meek firearm to win the day, but also intrigued and even impressed that the Human used its own frailty as a advantage, to sacrifice its arm to defeat a stronger enemy.
Many Predators saw Humans as worthy prey. But Kwei saw Humans as a species that could rival the Yautja, at least one day, and one worth of respect as such.
-------------------------------
Kwei Ikthya-de had suffered in his advancement to become a Blooded, his view on Humans had resulted in him being looked down upon and oft shunned from hunting opportunities. Nonetheless Kwei had proven himself a worthy hunter time and time again against other lesser prey, and was eventually given a opportunity to prove his mettle. He was sent to a distant Human controlled world, a world that was being overrun by Xenomorphs. Caught between a warring conflict between the Humans and Xenomorphs, Kwei would finally be able to prove himself a worthy Hunter, and he may find a Human to prove itself a worthy adversary.
While I am not fully familiar with the game play mechanics of a Predator (more so since I only see Predators use wirst blades, plasma casters and traps), I would attempt to play the role as a more conservative hunter. In lore I hold myself as a decently experienced hunter, but one who has never truly fought a dangerous foe like the Xenomorphs, or a platoon of crack Human soldiers. I would be wary of rushing in headlong, and would typically scope out the area and carefully find a target worth my time. Though my interest in Humans would see me oft wanting to observe worthy Humans in action, if only to see if they pervail, not to kill them after the fact.
I fully intend to hunt the side I find to be winning the conflict, as I would find it dishonorable to kill prey that are losing the war, if I find the conflict to be stagnating I would focus more on hunting worthy prey that might tip the scales of the conflict. Furthermore I would attempt to engage in psychological warfare akin to the movies. Probing defences, hiding in barely lit tiles and dragging corpses away moments before they are recovered (only a few tiles away, not to throw it in the corner of the map). While I am here to hunt, I am not here to slaughter, and when a prey has been pushed to the limit, and is on edge, you get to see if they are truly worthy.
I hold worthy prey in high regard, if I successfully hunt a prey that put up a valiant and worthy fight, I would withdrawn with the body and I would attempt to honour it, likely by kneeling in respect, and keeping one minor item from the person if applicable as a item to remember the fight by.
However I am not a technophobe, I respect employing and only using melee weapon in honourable combat, but I will not hesitate to use my more advance weapons (assuming I even have any, considering if my status is Young Blood or Blooded) to fend off prey that are interfering with the Hunt, or who are fighting in a way that is dishonourable, but my intention is not to kill but to ward off, I would only kill someone with my more advance weapons if I am left with no choice, even then I would perfer to use my melee weapons at the very least.
Why should we whitelist you? While I may be somewhat brash in game, more so when I play a front line role, I've nonetheless hope I've show that I am a calm and collected player who can hold myself to a higher standard of role play when optimal. I also consider myself to be above average in general competence, and I believe I at least do well in staying alive, even as a Human.
Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason? I have not been banned from CM in the last month.
Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why? I am not banned from any other servers, SS13 or otherwise.
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? I would not expect otherwise.
