ThreeDawg's Pred App: Vl'Arsta

[Tigroon]

Byond ID:ThreeDawg

Marine Name (so we know who you are; if you play alien mostly, state that here): Douglas ' Smartie ' Ray

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

Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor?: Aye. Quite aware of the ruleset for this particular whitelist, and I have read over it multiple times. Secondarily, I've also familiarized myself with the demotion history for those who have infringed upon the Honor Code, as to make sure the same mistakes do not occur once more. Those who learn from history, and all that.

Character background (An ADEQUATE description and story of your predators background):

► Show Spoiler

Primitive candles lit the center of the room, the only light that was allowed in this most respected place. Within the center of the room, surrounded by a sparse lining of flickering flames, knelt a Warrior Priest of the Yajuta. He wore nothing but a sparse outfit of cloth, and fabric, the usual armaments of a respectable Yajuta currently not brought to bear upon his body. Yet, within his hands held upwards, he held his Combi-stick, eyes closed as he muttered the prayer to what he felt was the old Gods, Gods the Yajuta had somewhat forgotten over the recent generations.

" To the ceaseless Hunter, Paya. I bring my service to you." He said, performing his Kantra, holding the combistick forward. " Guide my blade, so I may smite those we hunt. Guide my wit, so I may track those we seek. Guide my will, so I may hunt those you deem worthy...." He gently placed the combistick on the ground in front of him, taking a bottle from the clothing he wore, and annointing it with an odd oil, then moving to take the stick once more, and hold it above his head. " I seek your blessing, Paya. Lead me once more, as your Yeyinde. May this ritual make me once more worthy for another successful hunt. May those look on, and remember the practive of the Gods, that of which has brought us our grand hunts. Payas Leitjin-de, Hma'mi-de."

Silence. Many a minute went by as he held in this position, as the candles dwindled down, one by one. Finally the last went out, and the room was enveloped in darkness.

" Then so shall it be. May you guide me, Paya, to victory in this hunt. And if it not shall be, may my U'sl-kwe be brought upon me by an honorable battle, and may Cetanu guide me in that time of end.''

Metallic clicking and hissing echoed throughout the chamber within the darkness. Small lights danced upon a wall before ceasing, a hiss following. His vision of the room burst into light as the Biomask he now wore burst to life, bringing light to the darkness. He left his chambers, leaving the smell of burnt wick and incense behind to join his brothers. The Gods have blessed their hunt, now it was only time to see it through.

Background: A Warrior Priest of the old order. Aged by conflict, he continues to follow the Tenants first set by the gods. Honor above all, hunt the worthy, and bring glory in the hunt.

How do you intend to play your predator (as in, describe HOW you will act/play your predator)?

My character will be played upon the basis of what is known as a Warrior Priest. One who praises the gods, while committing acts that they would find favorable. From what I can see, the Gods of the Yajuta are not exactly known to most Predator players. I hope that, by adding this angle in to Predator Roleplay, I might bring some added spice to things. Blessings upon the hunt before the start, prayers of victory as great hunts are completed. And silent sermons to the god of Death, Cetanu, as a fellow hunter falls to their own prey. Honor and Blessings of the Unheeding Hunter Paya upon you, dearest brothers in arms.

Hunts he actively participates within will be lead with prayers and blessings from Paya, to guide his blade to a worthy target, for his wits to be sharpened against possible trickery. If engaging a target, if roleplay allows and he's successfully isolated the target from their group, he may take a moment to pray, kneeling down, and taking a moment before beginning the fight.

Why should we whitelist you?

Again. I feel I can bring an extra edge of roleplay to things. The Yajuta religion isn't quite touched upon, and I feel it might be a great addition to the overall roleplay.

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 not been banned from CM in the last month.

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

I am not currently banned from any other servers that I currently know of.

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 understand. And it is my responsibility as a Player to make sure that such things do not happen. To follow the Honor Code to the letter, and to not ruin a round for another player.

Low amount of forum posts, and it's probably due to timezone but I haven't seen your character around lately, your background is pretty short as well but I like the warrior-priest thing, although I think there was already a pred that's doing that but it's pretty nice, for now I'll give you a -1, lengthen your character's background, increase your activity and you should be good if you don't get accepted this time.

Aye, I'm usually on during the later hours on the EST timezone, lowpop. It's even worse for the fact that I'm usually just the CMP, minding the prisoners, bringing them food, and giving them roleplay while they wait out their time.

Understood. If this fails, I'll be sure to expand upon the background.

Commentary:

The story is incredibly short, however, what content it does have is descriptive of your character and his personality. It is however, very -very- short. Your forum account is nearing a year old and you only have seventeen posts, this doesn't reflect amazingly on yourself as we cannot give decent commentary or feedback on you as an individual. Your char name does not ring a bell either, so I can't attest to your RP skill. Overall, I have very little to give feedback on/give pointers to.

TL/DR:

- Short story, good detail but lacking in content ( -/+ )
- Inactive on Forums ( - )
- Unknown char, cannot give feedback on RP skill level ( - )
- Good Pred idea gimmick ( + )

Verdict:

-1 as of 21/03/2018

-snip-

Does seem that currently, it's the lack of my character's recognition, and the fact I'm not on the forum all that often. I understand completely.

Suppose I just have to work out of my MP/CMP comfort zone, do some SL and XO leading to get my name out there. Least I'm not recognized as a bad MP persay, but that hits as a double negative, as I'm not recognized, positive or not either. Ech.

Forumwize, I'll be honest. Most of my time here is spent perusing the appeals and bans sections, learning what I can so I avoid stepping on other's toes. Never really posted much, admittably.

Denied, primarily due to lack of feedback.

Your biography is fairly well written, but short. Lengthen it to include an actual hunt with good detail and you’ll probably be relatively up to par. I would recommend reading the biography out loud once you finish it, as some parts come out sounding awkward.
