Lar'ja bhu'ja - Dark Ghost

Post by Accinator50 » 31 Aug 2018, 10:42

Byond ID: Accinator50

Marine Name (so we know who you are; if you play alien mostly, state that here): Tobias 'Elder' Haab (The nickname changes sometimes)

Name of the character you want whitelisted (The name your predator will use. This must match your in-game predator name): Lar'ja bhu'ja (Dark Ghost)

Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor? Yes, I am familiar with the Code of Honor.

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


How do you intend to play your predator (as in, describe HOW you will act/play your predator)?
My predator lost his sister to a human in a honourable duel so he also tries to fight many duels with humans.
Of course my predator is also hunting but he always tries to get a difficult and honourable prey and if there isnt a strong and honourable prey he also attacks huge groups.
He always tries to get more honor so he also tries to kill the Xenos Queen or high ranked humans.
I am trying to play a predator who lost his sister to a human in a duel. So i am also trying to play that he hates humans and has problems when he has to talk or hunt with another predator. My predators is also going to prey to his sister before every hunt.
Of course my predator isnt only killing without RPing. I am trying to make every round funnier. So im also talking to humans and I am trying to RP as much as I can.

Why should we whitelist you?
I think that i could manage that the round would be more fun. I try to RP as often as I can and i am also trying to get humans on the predator ship and there i would make lots of stuff. Maybe Im also trying to make duels with predators. I would also try to make a duel with the acting Commander or even with the Queen.
But i wouldnt only make duels and kill them i also try to RP while fighting a duel and i would also give mercy to those who faught a good duel.

Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason (we will check, and lies may result in immediate denial)? I was banned for EORG on the 12.08.2018 but it was an accident.

Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why? No, the EORG bann was my first bann I have ever had.

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 any player can have their whitelist status revoken.

The story is short, really short actually but. The Quirk and Playstyle is something that is very intriguing.

Going to lean on a +1 but Neutral for now.

Tell me some more about your Preds backstory?

Alright so, this app is way too short. I don't know anything about your predator outside of "His sister died to a human in a duel". The play style I don't find unique personally, it's mainly just that you're going to dual people a bunch. I don't really judge it based on that however. I do judge it based on how well it's formatted. You missed a lot of capitalization on I's and seemed to struggle with making sentences sound right. I'd recommend improving your sentence structure and trying again in future, and try to develop your predators personality. I'll have to give this a -1 for now, given I don't think this app is up to standards.

Pred apps aren't something you should rush. My vote atm isn't going to change, plus I'm not sure you're allowed to add more story after you post your app. I highly recommend listening to my original post, as for the moment I doubt you'll be able to RP a pred effectively based on your writing.

ok, so just to name a few issues and/or inconsistencies i spotted:

- if your pred doesn't find honorable prey, he wouldn't hesitate to attack larger groups.

personal preference, but i would rather have predators take a step back when they can't find worthwhile prey, as opposed to 1v20 battles against zergs. i mean, obviously there's times where exceptions can and should be made, but it should not be done lightheartedly and most definitely not because you simply can't find an individual target.

- killing the xeno queen or higher ranking humans for "more honor"

again, personal preference, but i feel like those should be the last to target during hunts. it can shift the balance of a round massively, all for a quick thrill. predators, in my humble opinion, should be used as a tool to spice rounds up, not to have them end prematurely.

- "would have problems talking to humans AND preds"

i don't see why your pred's killed sister would lead to problems with other preds, but fair enough. what actually worries me though, is that in (literally) the next sentence you mention how you're going to make rounds more fun by interacting, roleplaying and essentially talking to humans. it's paradoxical. besides, roleplaying does not imply that you're going to have to be all touchy-feely towards humans, or any faction for that matter. you're an antagonist and i'm not sure you've grasped the concept entirely judging by your application.


lastly, your app was really short, beyond a reasonable show of effort tbh. don't get me wrong, you don't have to write up a crazy, dramatic story or whatever, but if it's gonna be short, it's gonna have to be convincing otherwise - which it is not.

This app kind of rubs me the wrong way.

The story is barely two paragraphs, it doesn't show much creativity or effort. The playstyle doesn't make sense, why attack large groups if you can't find worthy prey? Attacking the queen and possibly killing her is round altering and thus something you shouldn't really being doing in game.

Something wrong in the 'why should we whitelist you' section is where you mention you would spare a strong opponent that had dueled you, that's something you should not do, you take a trophy from a strong opponent or you dishonor them, its somewhat the opposite if its weak, you throw it back so it can get stronger.

Going with a -1 here for the above.

The story is extremely short... and doesn’t touch much on the Yautja beside being a vengeful one that hates Humans.

Without more to read I can’t in good faith give you a +1. Unfortunately I’ll have to leave it as a no from my end.

Generally, short stories are the best, but shortening the background so much is something that distorts the application and takes away the effect of "low quantity, good quality".

The method by which you intend to play can easily interrupt and modify the round remarkably negatively. Engaging large groups of marines, or hunting the Queen itself are actions that generate huge amounts of salt, contempt for predators and in general actions that one should not commit. When it is not found worthy prey, no predator should ever do any of the above actions.

Only those reasons are enough to make me have a negative view of this application. -1

The story needs a little bit more meat, and your activity is a bit low. Your playstyle is also a bit concerning for the reasons mentioned.

This app was just too short in my opinion. For reasons already listed above, I'm going to give this a -1.
