    Yautja Character Story
    The bright ball has faded over the horizon, little light remained. A figure rises, it’s chest forward, it’s chin high, standing in an ostentatious stance.

    As it’s cold gaze fell over the land, searching for it’s next fight. The wind picked up, but it was not natural. This wind was… Different, stronger. Artificial.

    A coffin of steel kissed the ground of the dark planet, the lid opened. A bipedal creature who had green eyes, a defined jawline and scars criss crossing his face stepped outside. Wearing headwear that displays seniority and a look of experience on his face, the fighter instantly knew who it’s next fight will be with.

    But, not just yet, as patience is a virtue. More beings followed the senior, leaving the combatant no peace to hunt the elder.

    The warrior stalked the group, waiting for an opportunity, estimating their path, planning for the engagement.

    The prey rests a craggy bivouac, just before light. The Predator picked its chance, clicking to lure the elder one to a more desirable position. However, the elder did not fall for the hunter’s trap, instead he waved it off as an anomaly and returned to the group shortly after a brief glimpse of the area that the hunter clicked at.

    The hunter then watched the group leave, then head to a vessel, similar to the one that they arrived in, but this one’s no longer functioning. It saw the group retrieve a capsule, of unknown origin or purpose and then head off, out of the structure and stored it in the elder’s satchel.

    Deciding not to strike, as there would be little space for retreat inside the cramped vessel, the watcher retreated, narrowly avoiding the other beings that escorted the elder.

    Now, time was no longer on the predator’s side, the group were heading to an open cliffside area and it was beginning to get light.

    The predator stalks its prey until they reached their destination, where the metal coffin was waiting for them. The predator was about to give up the hunt, when a machine popped out of the vessels and began shooting at the hunter, despite it not being seen by the other fleshy beings.

    The hunter was now the hunted, tides have turned. Stry’kther was fleeing, dancing from cover to cover, with the group of bipeds following closely behind. The fool has decided that it has had enough, leaping over a mound and hiding behind it, waiting for its pursuers, determined to not be displayed as a coward.

    “A line; crossed. Never to return from the other side”

    A quick sidewards step, slash. Another dash, slash. One of the bipeds then whipped out a sharp weapon and sought to strike Stry’kther, who dodged the attack with astonishing fluidity and then ended the monkey in one swift strike. The elder, gaze steady, gun ready has locked his weapon onto the predator, ready to fire.

    Stryk’ther aggresses the man who is about to shoot it, slashing the gun out of his hand and then engaging its cloak, falling back. 3 down, 1 injured.

    After disengaging, it was much easier to get away as they did not bring the machine that detected the predator so easily.

    Moving amongst them, the hunter took the hunters down, one by one. Until all that was left was the elder. Who emerged from the vessel and walked away from the device that detected the predator so easily, and walked alone, out to the open plains.

    A blatant fool, he may be. However the predator noticed a metallic hue to the areas it attacked to disarm him, an opulent sword clutched in his hands. Stretching his hand out and gesturing the surrounding areas for the predator, inciting for it to come.

    Sensing the intent to duel, the predator uncloaked and walked boldly to the challenger.

    “Bravery, seeing his comrades felled by me like they were nothing, but still having the courage to duel me alone.”

    Unsheathing its long talons form the bracer, the predator strode forward and readied to strike the duellist.

    “Or is he alone?”

    Before noticing that something was wrong, taking a step or two backwards and entering a more engaged stance. The fool had led the predator into a trap, 2 bipeds uncloaked and readied their weapons, pointing them at Stryk’ther.

    “What’s up, ugly? Mind taking that mask off and surrendering to us so I can get that raise?”



    “Mute, eh? Well, fuck you then, the labfreaks can still study you when you’re dead. Open fire”

    “A fool, indeed”

    Performing a backflip while tossing its smartdisk, in a rapid aggress. After landing, the hunter quickly dispatched the other cloaker with its plasma caster and closed the distance it had between it and the elder, who slashed at the predator with his ornate blade, but to no avail. The Hunter was too fast, too aggressive; before the elder’s arm was halfway down, he would find his head missing and a large portion of his spine torn out.

    The Elder’s body then collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut, blood waterfalling through the gaping wound that was left in the place of his neck.

    One more for the collection.

    Describe how your Yautja acts, and how you intend to play them
    Stry’kther is a yautja of few words, expressing their thoughts through actions and not words. Focused on the hunt. It holds its values high, along with its head.

    Valuing honour and courage above all else, with knowledge being valued second after that, Stryk’ther is more engaged in honour duels more than the average yautja, hunting a little bit less, but still building suspense and anticipation during a hunt.

    Also, only hunting the most exclusive of prey; the strongest and those whom have proved themselves to be adequate to be hunted by a yautja; worthy prey, or an exclusive selection of the most honourable of the worthy prey.

    Stryk’ther does not take many trophies, but to be taken as a trophy by it is an honour reserved for the most disciplined and robust, those who honour the yautja beliefs and traditions, despite not being a yautja is one example.

    In your own words, describe the difference between an honor duel and a hunt
    Honour duels is a fight where the two combatants are more or less evenly advantaged and is a matter of honour, skill and dignity. Where the duellists are considered worthy and are respected mutually. An honour duel can be denied if the challenged finds the challenger unworthy for various reasons.

    Honour duels do not have to result in death, they can choose to spare the opponent if the yautja decide that their opponent has fought honourably and well, unlike hunts, which almost always results in the death of the prey.

    A hunt is where a worthy victim is chased, stalked and harassed by the yautja and then is eventually killed, through honourable means of course and a trophy is taken.

    How do you intend on interacting with other predators during a round?
    I would mostly hunt and duel alone, unless there is forced interaction. Even then, Stryk’ther would speak very little, if at all. Usually communicating through simple gestures and motions.

    If challenged to an honour duel, Stryk’ther would gladly accept, given that the yautja challenging Stryk’ther is looked down upon.

    Why do you want a predator whitelist?
    I would like to be whitelisted to provide another element to the rounds, adding a third faction, making the round more unpredictable and exciting. Further engaging the two major sides of the battle and giving them a slightly more unique experience.

    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

    Do you understand that you cannot advertise your application on any platform for votes. Do you also understand you may not edit this application 1 hour after it has been posted?
    Yes

    This story right here is something I could never imagine to see it and the first one of it's kind.

    That's a +1 from me! Shame we can't rate it from 0 to 10 because that would be a solid 10 from me! You can feel the story is not only one told by a person but narrated from the perspective of the Yautja itself, I just love this little flavor that made the entire story even more complex and new.
    Also, that name up there 'Odell Cromwell'. This guy is sure one of the best CO out there. When this man is in command we don't need weapons nor DEFCON. The willpower of this man on the battlefield or over the radio is enough to give every marine strength to keep fighting until our last breath. I tell you that because I experienced it, not every day you follow orders to hold FOB injured, low on ammo and with the Queen hitting the cades.

    Damn, thanks for that. Really hit me in the feels.

    I extend my regards to you, as well, for participating in the rounds for which I am CO. You people are what defines the marine core and the server itself. Without players, CM would not exist nor feel like it what currently does.

    Thank you. I look forward to hunting with you as well.

    Just not alongside you, if you'll forgive me.

    Communication skill are lacking for Novacti.

    That's my observation, friend. -1


    PS: I would like to apologize for my comment last time.

    I don't mind negative feedback, but I don't think the commanding officer you're talking about is me. As I have only CO'd ~twice ever since I've become mod and you were one of the people who voted me for CO.

    The first comment on this application praises me as a CO, for my leadership skills. You have also praised me yourself ingame so I don't understand why you are saying this here.

    Not anymore because of your communication skills, man. That's all.

    I strongly disagree with Cheng, I don't think you should be -1'd because somebody doesn't like how you play a role completely unrelated to the whitelist you're applying for. I normally don't vote on pred apps, but I'm going to on this one.
    Story's pretty epic, answers are pretty epic, players are pretty epic. Gonna give this an epic gamer +1
    I play as Dawson Hook and Brad.
