Mvp777 - Ma'Jaktu

Post by Mvp777 » 02 Mar 2018, 04:29

Byond ID: Mvp777
Marine Name (so we know who you are; if you play alien mostly, state that here):

Fred Majun, formerly Alfred Stafford.
By and large until the last year i played almost exclusively Xeno or simply observed.

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

Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor?
Yep, its discussed alot in deadchat during any predator round, bit difficult to not know it back to front.

Character background (An ADEQUATE description and story of your predators background): This story focuses on Mu'Jaktu's past and what changed him into the Yautja that he is today, with less focus on background details.

How do you intend to play your predator (as in, describe HOW you will act/play your predator)?
Extremely straight forward in how i would do things.

By and large if i was hunting a human, it would be singling someone who has shown that they are worth interest, followed by a period of observation to see if they are truly worthy, constantly shadowing them for a long period.
if they happen to die before they are considered "worthy" of being hunted? they just weren't good enough, i may even help them in small aspects. If they are considered as being worthy of dying by my hand, i'd initiate an honor duel; potentially handing over my dagger, or removing armor to make the fight more "even", If initiating an honor duel is not possible i would hunt them "normally.

If i was hunting an xenomorph it would be more simple. Hunting the one who has shown the most combat ability, As there can be no glory without risk. By combat ability i mean i'd be after Hunters, Ravagers and the like, with the exception that outside of driving away outsiders interfering i'd rarely make use of hunting traps or anything outside of direct combat with wrist blades, as Mu'Jaktu views it being more glorious to kill a R'ka when they are at their peak ability, rather than when they are crippled from a trap.


Why should we whitelist you?
I'm an aspiring RPer who's been kicking around since 2012 or so, i believe that i can add to both Human and Predator RP with Mu'Jaktu's moving shadow/silent helper to Humans, and prickly pickiness and nigh religious obsession with honorable accord interaction with Predators.
[Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason (we will check, and lies may result in immediate denial)?
Nope.
Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why?
Nadda.
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?

The Code of Honor is what makes a Predator a Predator, take that away and they're just another boring mass killer, i fully understand that breaking the rules or Honor Code is grounds for being removed from the whitelist.

There are two things I see as an issue here: One, the fact you stated "By and large until the last year i played almost exclusively Xeno or simply observed." playing marine with a static name is easier for the rest to know you and vote based on our experiences with you IC, example, Stafford rings a bell yet I remember him as the standard random grunt. So I can't really vote based on my experiences with you.

The other issue is the forum activity, we want predator players to be very active within the community specially the forums. I'm gonna stay neutral just because your time as a player and I like how you plan to play.

For the first point all i can really say is that i've started regularly(as in the last 3-6 months? I'm bad with time) playing rounds as Fred Majun, sometimes medic, sometimes doctor and occasional smartgunner.

For the second point its just a matter of time as i get more involved with the community as a whole.

Thanks for pointing those out, as it helps me know in which aspects i can improve.

I'm pretty much only on during low pop and I've only seen you like, once or twice at most, forum count is pretty low as well and that you've stated that you almost exclusively played xeno, Fred Majun sorta rings a bell but anything that comes up is just a faceless random grunt, If you do get denied I suggest taking more time to work on your forum presence but for now i'm going with Neutral

I've seen you around, in fact, I'm pretty sure you almost infected me a few days ago, I've only ever seen you around a handful of times like others have said. If you don't have a strong interest in playing marine you could come to the CM discord and try building up some activity there or just stick around the forums.

+1 Personally I think I can trust you with the role in the limited times I've spoken to you, I'd just really like to see you around more I almost didn't see this app hidden away right at the bottom.

I definitely have seen you, as im a lowpop regular too, Post count would be better, aside of that, I liked the background and i think you would be good as a pred.

Thanks for the feedback, my general lack of presence is something i'm slowly rectifying and i forgot that CM has a discord.

But yeah i was that runner that attacked you in that egg full room turning it into an interesting match of "Dodge the flying facehugger" while scrambling for the clan mask.

Denied for lack of positive feedback.

My critique with the story starts with how the wristblades were eliminated from the equation of the story. In lore, all predator weapons are conventionally made to withstand Xenomorph acid. A far better solution would have been to dispose of them in another way that works better toward the lore, like perhaps something the Xeno did to cause the blades to malfunction, or not extend properly. The second issue that I have is of more importance in my opinion, and lies with the way the story is laid out. Although there is nothing inherently wrong with putting your story into segments as you have, in this particular case I felt overwhelmed by the amount of exposition given in such a short period of time. By the time I had reached the background of allied clans, the exposition had all but lost my interest and I found my eyes skimming over the words without really taking them in. The best solution to fix excessive exposition is simply to only include the parts that are immediately related to your story or characters.

The final issue that I had was that after your predator became blooded by killing the lone xenomorph, he was able to complete his mission without any further interruption whatsoever. Essentially, the hive took no real notice or attention regarding the death of one of its members, which is an entirely un-xeno like decision. The narrative pointing out this fact doesn't help the situation either, blatantly pointing it out and feeling like a cop-out for the story. This could likely best be fixed by perhaps moving your mission target closer to the predator, where it could be easier explained that he completed his mission and evaded his xenomorph pursuers.
