Ja'akir's Backstory.
► Show Spoiler
Ja'akir Aki was always an excited boy, his father would tell him stories of his hunts and he would listen gleefully. His father kept insisting that he was ready to hunt, but the elder always said to wait. years have passed when Ja'akir's Father was killed during a hunting trip. Ja'akir was told the amazing stories of the trip and how his father hunted honorably, but his fathers death changed his view upon hunting. Young Ja'akir realized how dangerous and risky taking a hunt can be and began to wonder how many Yautja die yearly due to the hunts, and this worried him. When he went to his elder to confess his fears, he was smacked upside the head being warned "If you wish to be a mere animal breeder than a hunter, your father would be disappointed. He claims that you were going to be the best hunter in our clan, but as I can see it was just a mere lie!" the elder says. This made Ja'akir angry, He flared his mandibles "Learn your place!" His elder yelled upon giving him another blow but this time it hurt... a lot, "You are still an Unblooded, you have much to learn and learn quickly before I tire of teaching" he says as he leaves the room. Years later Ja'akir Aki begins his training to begin hunting, His elder finally believed he is ready enough to begin training for his first hunt. Worry fills Ja'akir as he wonders what training will be like, he walks towards an ancient temple used as his clan's training grounds. Ja'akir expected it to be more thrilling and exciting but it was just an overall gist of what everything does, It only became interesting when Ja'akir actually got to wear and use some of the items shown and presented: A clan bracer, A clan mask, single blade Wrist blades, and small light armor barely covering the topmost part of Ja'akir's chest. Once he was fully taught the basics of what his equipment did and how to use them, Combat training began. day in, and day out him and his elder would train in CQC whether it be with Substitution weapons, real weapons, or just fists, Ja'akir would always end up bleeding by the end of it, and after every training session he would become furious at the beating he has taken, heading down to his cousin to try and cool off. Some nights Ja'akir still worry about what might happen to him once he begins hunting, and he always tries to talk to someone about it but he always gets written off as some weakling who holds little promise in the hunt. Time goes on and Ja'akir is finally ready for is the first hunt, He has finally become a Youngblood but dreads and worry cloud his mind as he thinks about what happened to his father... Luckily he is only to hunt Oomans for this hunt.
Ja'akir's First hunt
► Show Spoiler
Ja'akir wakes up sometime in the morning to a loud "YOUNG BLOODS! AWAKE YOU SHALL TELEPORT DOWN AND BEGIN YOUR HUNT IN 30 MINUTES. GET READY!" The room filled with five other Young blood's awoke with roars of excitement. Ja'akir ran to equip his gear, and eat breakfast before his elder screamed again to leave. A young blood who goes by the name of "Tik'all" approaches him saying, "You are the one who's elder decided to give them personal training rather than in a group correct?" while that did happen Ja'akir never really noticed that his elder only taught him alone never in a class or group, Ja'akir feels like because of this the other Youngbloods might think highly of him and decide to challenge him... "I was, Mostly because the elder was close to my father. It is not because I am better merely just connections my father had" Ja'akir replied. Tik'all got into Ja'akir's face though being nearly a whole foot shorter than Ja'akir, "So you think you are better than us then, why else would you fucking mention it!" Tik'all says while pushing Ja'akir with one arm. When Tik'all continued his little inferiority complex with another push, Ja'akir caught his arm twisting it over his shoulder flipping Tik'all onto the ground, "Stop it, I don't want to hate you but you are pissing me off" Ja'akir said angrily leaving the room. Not so long after it was time to finally go, the elder ushers them to the teleporter saying "Use your vox caster to stay in touch and to remember your training, pray to Paya your hunt goes well...".
Ja'akir steps onto the pad being brought to the planet he immediately cloaks and begins looking around, Nothing but lush green tree's and plant's and the dead cold silence of the forest, According to what was said there should be a grand total of 50 oomans in the area, 6 of which are unarmed and shouldn't be hunted. After around fifteen minutes of looking, He finds a small group of 5 oomans roaming the foresty planet Examining closing there are four armed guards while one is just wearing an odd white coat. The group of five continues walking down the path while Ja'akir merely follows watching, They end at a giant hole in the earth that even with the magnification of his mask cannot see the bottom of clearly. Ja'akir continued to watch the group as the slowly move some gear out of bags setting up floodlights around the circumference of the hole, He catches wind of the conversation between two of them and begin's recording it... "Hey, cover me I need to take a leak real quick." one of them whispers "Cover yourself nothings out here I don't even know why they needed paid guards for this shit, I'm not complaining its an easy job but.." the other one retorts. The "leak" one walks over into some nearby bushes and Ja'akir makes a move, silently moving to the branch above the guard, He activates his wrists blades jumping down behind him covering his mouth and stabbing him in the back jumping back up into a big enough branch to support both of their weight. Once in a secured location, Ja'akir does as he was taught grabbing the base of the neck and the top of the head separating the two with his strength securing him a head that will prove has his first trophy, quickly tossing the body aside. A few seconds later a loud booming crack went into the air, as a bullet enters Ja'akirs right shoulder, Roaring in anger he sees who did it... One of the now three guards must have seen him take his buddy, he was reckless. He jumps across the tree lines trying to lose sight but his blood is getting everywhere.... Once he feels he's out of sight even with his cloaking, he reaches into his hunting pouch and grabs a healing crystal stabbing it into his shoulder Roaring as the pain overwhelms him.
Ja'akir was absolutely livid, After patching up the wound fully he tries to find the group, luckily they are still at the giant hole with seemingly no bottom. The one who shot him is frantically telling the other's what he saw to which in turn don't believe him but simply asking, "Wheres John, Dale?" to which dale responds "THE BLUR TOOK HIS HEAD OFF!" "Tim just go find John I think he went to go take a piss." to which Tim simply nods and heads off into the woods while dale just simply suggests heading back to camp to regroup with the others. after Tim goes off into the woods alone Ja'akir moves again following the now alone prey, This time thinking of only dale and how he will get revenge for the wound given to him. Quickly jumping behind Tim using his recordings to just say "D@l3." Tim turns around quickly being shocked as the blur moves to choke him out eventually snapping his neck. Ja'akir continues the hunt for dale who has now become one he's deemed worthy enough to fight face to face, he just needs to separate him from the group. Nearing the group again they all occupy their time while waiting for Tim to get back, little do they know that isn't happening... besides Dale who is sweating like a maniac as what he saw earlier. Using his recording Ja'akir say's "T@k3 @ l3@k" which Dale simply just says "It cant be, I saw John..." approaching the parts of the woods the sound came from. Ja'akir waits with glee as he will finally be able to take revenge for the insult Dale did to him, close and closer dale slowly moves as the rest just stare unaware as to what's about to happen and once dale moves close enough Ja'akir leaps down grabbing the weapon out of Dales' hand punching him hard on the temple knocking him out. The last remaining guard picks up his rifle and tries to take aim at the blur, but Ja'akir makes a brisk take for the tree line eventually disappearing with the unconscious Dale.
Hours later Ja'akir simply waits while dale wakes up on the floor stripped naked, Once Ja'akir takes notice he uses his recordings to just say "D@l3, F1ght" then tossing him his Ceremonial dagger as a weapon to use, taking off his mask and armor for the fight "What a-are you" Dale says in a shaky tone. Ja'akir stands up dale and points to the weapon again saying "D@l3, F1ght" to which dale simply picks up the knife holding it in his shaky arms, Ja'akir bows to Dale as he begins his duel quickly moving forward to dale giving a quick jab to his side immediately knocking the wind out of him, maybe even cracking a rib. "D@l3, F1ght" Ja'akir repeats as he continues giving light blows trying to savor his revenge to which dale isn't giving much of a fightback until cutting the underside of his arm before Ja'akir gets another blow in, causing another roar to erupt from Ja'akir. Due to the sudden cut Ja'akir punched his prey in the skull bashing it in ending his life leaving Ja'akir disappointed that his "worthy" prey barely put up a fight, after cleaning up and making a trophy out of dale in his Vox Caster he hears "Wrap it up, Youngbloods the hunt must conclude." Finishing what he was doing he starts teleporting back to the ship to tell the others about his hunt. Thus ending the story of Ja'akir and his first hunt, let there be more stories that he will be able to tell.
How do you intend to play your predator (as in, describe HOW you will act/play your predator)?
I intend to play my predator as the capture and duel type, Typically taking revenge on those who hurt him and hunting them as a priority. If a marine sees him run by and Ja'akir doesn't have a current target and he gets shot if the marine fits into the standards of honor code Ja'akir will begin hunting him. The same goes for Xenomorph's. Though Ja'akir is a bit worried to hunt Xeno's, and may occasionally state his concern for the danger that comes of hunting them (which I feel Ja'akir may get bullied by other preds which I understand) so unless a xenomorph pisses Ja'akir off he might not hunt them specifically.
Why should we whitelist you?
I feel like I can bring decent RP into CM as I have heard good things from the synthetic I play Alicia and it honestly gives me joy when people say Alicia's quirk is fun and such, and I feel I have proven that I can roleplay with Alicia and other characters. I have also been playing CM for nearly a year now and I feel I am a decent player in the community and enjoy staffing it.
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.
Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why?
I am not.
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?
Of course.
