Oneshot00 - Predator Whitelist Application

[OneShot00]

Byond ID: OneShot00

Marine Name (so we know who you are; if you play alien mostly, state that here): Stacy 'Burger Time' Bava

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

Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor?
Yes, I have read it multiple times.
Character background (An ADEQUATE description and story of your predators background):
Zuliti' Makata has always been a dreamer, unable to really control it, they've seen visions of horrible things ever since they were young, but their visions never come true, regardless of outcome Makata always fears them greatly, causing quite problems in their lifetime, after being belittled over it for too long, Makata eventually decided to join the hunt, gathering their things she set's off, vowing to show that they are wrong about her, that her dreams can be conquered like any other beast. She arrives on site, and goes on the hunt, finding nothing of note, feeling like this is all for nothing, or perhaps simply a test, that she can make it on her own, so she returns and sets up camp, ready to face her fears in her dream state.
Zuliti' Makata sits by her campfire, it's been a long day of hunting, though uneventful, as of yet Makata is unproven in her quest, yet to gain a single trophy, she yerns of the day she can fight and die for honor.
But it escapes her, her honorable fight and death always one step ahead, she strips herself of her armor, ready for sleep, laying on a recently felled tree, cut into a long log, she drifts into her dreams.
She awakens on an unknown ship, unaware of her surroundings until she turns on her thermal imagery, she makes her way around this labyrinth of a ship, finding a large open area, almost as if it's a hanger designed for large ships.
It's barren, though something doesn't feel quite right about it, the walls covered in odd weeds, clearly not any type of metal, almost as if they had been placed there recently. None of this makes sense to her, there was no way she would miss a ship of this size crashed into this planet, everything felt off, she knew her fears would come true, that she wouldn't be able to escape whatever harsh reality her visions brought, she questioned it all but just couldn't piece it together, she had to think, to find out what's going on once and for all and to end it.


But it's too late for thought, out of the cracks and derelict vents come crawling out Xeno threats, at first one or two, but then four to five at a time come spewing out of the walls.
Has she been captured in her sleep? Is this a crashed ship, taken over by Xenomorphs? She readies herself, firing a few plasmacaster bolts at the largest targets but more spew out, she readies herself for melee combat, roaring as they almost surround her.
She takes the first 4 down with ease, not a single scratch until the fifth jumps her from behind, biting her in the back of the neck, a weak point, it hurts badly but she presses on, throwing it over her shoulder and stomping on it until it stops moving.


Her wristblades slide out now, tearing apart any Xeno that comes close, until she is pinned down for a moment and spit on, her mask semi destroyed, she pushes it off only to be jumped on again, there are too many to fight, she cannot stand and can only open her wrist bracer and begin the countdown for Self-Destruct.
She laughs for once last time as she watches the timer tick, the Xenos tearing into her, getting past her armor and disemboweling her, almost tearing her in half as the timer reaches 5...4...3..2..1.
Nothing, she awakes with a roar, almost sure she was about to die, but no, it was another dream, taunting her, she throws her spear onto the ground, tired of being haunted by these visions, over and over with nothing in sight, no more will she be controlled, no more will she stand idly by while others hunt successfully, this is the time to take what is hers, her glory is at hand, so close she can reach it and now she will.


How do you intend to play your predator (as in, describe HOW you will act/play your predator)?
An eager Predator, haunted by failure, time and time again, vowing to no more let their visions destroy their mind. She will decide to take her fate into her own hands, angry at herself for being unable to fight her perrsonal demons, she will take pleasure in the blood of the hunt, and hope that it will wash away the problems. That maybe the trophies she collects will ease her burden of self doubt, that she will keep them all as a reminder that her hunt was good, and that it will always be good no matter what her visions say, that they're wrong and she's right and she will prevail.

Why should we whitelist you?
Because I believe I am experienced enough with my time in CM that I can hold my own completely and have everything it possibly takes to play such a role correctly, I believe in myself that I will follow the rules of this Whitelisted role to the fullest and bring enjoyment through my play to players around me.

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?
Nope!

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.

I'll stick to neutral for now.

Story is original, not sure if we had something like that before but it's kinda lacking the "hunt" part, you basically said that uhh she has nightmares and she decided to kick ass and it's kinda empty - no lore or anything.
Just a flat story with a really angry predator.

Playstyle is pretty much okay, not sure how you want to RP your /visions/ tho, if you find a way then yeah sure, original playstyle.
You'll probably stick to the classic stalk playstyle anyways.

You seem like a competent person, even tho I don't see you play very often

Also I see you're a woman of culture

I suppose the Hunt part was lacking due to it being filled in via gameplay, the point was that the hunt is going to shape them as a Predator, the hunt being what occurs during rounds.
And yeah I plan on trying to RP it mostly rather than stick to a generic stalky approach, sounds fun.

Sounds good, I don't think anyone will have problems.
And denying someone's app cause' the story is horrible doesn't happen often - and it definetly won't happen in this case.
Make sure to include and somehow RP the 'visions' in your casual gameplay session - just don't make it stale, it's original.

Ehh i am going for neutral with this but yeah I want to play with ya maybe in my available time so I can check your RP style.

[Imperator_Titan]

Quite a well made story albeit short. The playstyle however is quite generic, being the usual hunt and claim trophies honourably.

All things considered, I'd like to give you the benefit of doubt.

It mean story was ok and play style is a bit generic, but I go more based on player reputation as long as the application is decent.

Sure this, good reputation as a player and an interesting story, +1 from me.

I’m interested to see how your quirk/playstyle works out in game. Your story is decent; I think I can gather the personality of your Pred from it, so it serves it’s purpose. You’re decently active here, ingame, though I’m unsure about Discord.

Overall i’d be fine with having you on the hunt, as I think you can add some interesting RP to a round given your quirk, and I trust you to be able to pull it off, as from what I've seen of you ingame, you’re a pretty decent RPer.

Decent overall, so +1 from this guy. Use it wisely, these things aren’t refundable.

[spartanbobby]

You seem active on discord but I can't say I've seen you around much ingame but I'll trust everyone else about your in-game activity

I'll echo everyone else with a +1

[Karmac]

It's a little underwhelming overall, the story isn't terrible but doesn't actually tell me anything other than the fact 'they have nightmares of themselves dying'. The intended playstyle doesn't even make any sense because unless you intended it to come across as "I'll play a very angsty predator lady who will hunt just like anyone else", I'm not sure what you were going for with that riddle of an explanation.

I'm going with a -1 personally because it feels like you rushed the last half of the application.

More community feedback required

[edgardo]

i never heard about your Marine
¿is this your Only marine or you play someone else?
because being a mod and not being atleast a bit knowed is kinda oof
Though your Story is pretty Okay and your playstyle is okay.
You are a Mod too so i can expect high RP standards from you

Ive been holding off on answering for a lil while now coz i wanted to see you IG abit more first and honestly since this app was put in ive seen you once maybe twice IG and youve replied to the thread once. Are you still reasonably active and its just been bad timings? I was leaning more toward positive if i saw you more But alas its not so. Ill remain undecided until we actually hear from you again.

Neutral

[OneShot00]

Yeah I was inactive for about a week due to my birthday being on the 3rd and I didn't actually celebrate it on the same day, so you might not have seen me around due to that.
