N'ritja Ju'dha (Dancing Water)

[Varnock]

Byond ID: Varnock

Marine Name (so we know who you are, if you play alien mostly, state that here): Jacob Blackpool, but I play both sides.

Name of the character you want whitelisted (The name your predator will use. This must match your in-game predator name): N'ritja Ju'dha (Dancing Water) of clan Lar'ja Ju'dha (Dark Water)

Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor? Yes, I have read it over several times now.

Character background (A very BRIEF description of your predators background):

► Show Spoiler

Water lapped quietly at the shore of a dark beach lit only by the moon, the ocean calm in the emptiness of the night. A calm in the eye of the storm. A silence hung over the area, eerie in how heavily encompassing it was. Such silence preceded great danger, or, such as in this instance, came in its wake. No, the source of the fear-driven quiet evident in the air was not long gone now, the marks left in the sand that even now were slowly being washed away a testament to their survival.

Lights flashing. A fatal error in the systems. A crash landing. Water...

Water? You do not feel wet... Ah you must mean the great clan of Lar'ja Ju'dha! Whatever else could it have been? After all, it is YOUR clan. How could you forget those that raised you? The legacy they have for their flowing ferocity? You have strove since you were young to do them proud, following the teachings of your clan and growing as much as you could. You sought to embody their teachings of readiness, of being able to adapt to all things like water, but to also be ready to crush and wear away when necessary. And so you did. You who have worked so hard were finally given a chance. Were finally ready.

Pained clicking. Coughing. Water...

You woke on the beach in a bad way. Wet, in pain, and angry at what had happened. Of all the things to go wrong on your trial, it had to be this! You briefly entertain that it may be a part of the test as well, and decide it better to continue on as if that is the case rather than let rage fog your mind. You carefully push yourself up, the sand giving way beneath your powerful form as you move, clinging to you and getting into your armor. Just more distractions you will work through. You WILL succeed. You WILL persevere. You are water, flowing, calm, and powerful. The time taken to calm yourself is short, the motions well practiced from the teachings of your clan.

You are ready.

You are water.

You are death.

May all that stand in the path of the dark water know that it shall be worn away at our power!

Paya is the river, Cetanu the sea, and we the water flowing with them.

N'ritja Ju'dha was born into a relatively well known hunting family of the Lar'ja Ju'dha clan. Her upbringing was a strict one, her family expecting nothing but the success she slowly but surely provided them as they trained her for the trials to come. In the end she excelled in all but one area, that being Patience. N'ritja was a curious child, always getting herself into trouble when their mind was left unoccupied, enough so that jokes were made about her being better off named Ch'hkt-a. It was a long sought battle, trying to teach her patience, littered with failures and backfires as she came at their tasks in roundabout ways they had not expected. While she lacked patience, adaptability she had in excess. N'ritja truly emphasized her name, flowing through combat and mental tasks alike in a dance that left her betters not quite impressed, but watchful all the same.

This, eventually, is what backfired on her. Tired of her escapades marring what otherwise would be an excellent hunter, they gave her an ultimatum. Study patience, or lose your place amongst us. Water must know when to flow, and when to pool. Determined to not be cast out, N'ritja focused her entire being into meditation and her inner self, forcing at the very least a semblance of the patience her elders required. Whether it would be enough, however, was yet to be seen...

(I hope there aren't any glaring errors, and sorry for getting a bit carried away.)

How do you intend to play your predator (as in, describe HOW you will act/play your predator. This will weigh HEAVILY and frequently breaking from this MAY result in removal)?
I plan to watch, wait, and adapt as needed to the situation as a generalization. Let us use an FOB in nexus as an example. Rather than simply sneak in with the crowd, I would look for weak points. Exploit them. Scare those inside through them and get them looking the wrong way for a better show as something else prods the now weakened other areas. Misdirection is key, as keeping things on my terms is very important to my survival. Besides, while I watch and wait it gives those there a chance to show their worth, and then the waters shall come crashing down.

Why should we whitelist you?
I mean I don't have any specific reason, but I'd like to think I could improve rounds from an RP standpoint, and am not some ridiculously robust machine of destruction, so I offer a chance at defeat rather than being able to totally trash all opposition. I'm also well acquainted with what might cause a side to win or lose due to how often I observe and play both sides, and my familiarity with such things will help me maintain balance in a round.

Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason (we will check, and lies may result in immediate denial)?
No, I believe I have a clean record there.

Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why?
Nope, I only play on CM now.

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 do.

EDIT: Added colors since this thing was hard to read.

+1 you are a really good player

Story is fine.

[Feweh]

I'm SUPER against people applying to staff and then whitelist right after.
We've had a few staff members do that solely for Predator in the past and fizzle out quickly.

I'm going to sit at neutral for awhile.

Understandable. Been mulling over Pred for a while though, and a staff position even longer than that. I can assure you that fizzling out is far from my intention.

Same here Feweh, it's a constant pattern as of late.

Being staff shouldn't and should affect how your app is judged. When I open up an app, I don't even look at the name until i'm done reading. At the same though, mods are put into event positions and typically are fair in-game. I'm in the middle with this application, because Varnock's been staff for a month, but I think i'll give this a +1. Varnock actually isn't shite out of the newer mods in my opinion, and I'd trust him with the power.

But on a side note, this is a rare occasion when i'd do this. I'd probably spam -1 so many times if it was any other mod.

Do me proud, pal.

I appreciate that a lot guys, I really do. I worry sometimes that text makes me come off the wrong way.

[ShortTemperedLeprechaun]

I'll give it a plus one. You're suggested play style has the potential to liven up a round, without too much death, which is always a nice touch for predators. While we're there for trophies, we're more or less REALLY there to make the round better for everyone. You've been competent as a mod, and are generally a decent person. If you're whitelisted, I look forward to seeing your predators inner struggle to try and be patient.

[Feweh]

Stickied for final review.

[Varnock]

This is so exciting~

Looking forward to the results, be them good or bad.

Good application, good player. I think var won't have a problem handling the role.

I like Jacob Blackpool in-game, and I liked the application overall. Varnock has been around a while, and if he was planning on going apeshit and fucking stuff up, he would've done it already. +1.

[oprayx73]

Would like to see this unfold, very promising stuff!

[TR-BlackDragon]

Ill go ahead and give this my plus one.

[Rahlzel]

Solid. Good Englishification. Good temperament.
+1
