    AlbertBlackwell - Yautja Application

    Yautja Whitelist Application
    Byond ID:
    AlbertBlackwell

    Marine Name
    Albert Blackwell

    Name of the Yautja Character you wish to play
    Yo'stban

    Have you banned in the past month or are currently banned from other servers?
    Was banned in the past month, ban was appealed.

    Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor?
    Yes.

    Yautja Character Story
    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...YOjtj1dGE/edit



    It was warm and quiet, the way Yo'stban liked it, however deep down inside he knew it wouldn’t last they will be coming soon... The planet of LV-826 was a sprawling jungle complex, an interesting battleground to study and test his skills in. Yo'stban flicked through several frequencies, magnifications and different types of imaging until the loud throbbing hum of a dropship, he hated to use the term but it had its purpose and his Elder couldn’t hear him anyway, could be heard, Yo'stban nearly had to take his mask off to get the noise out of his head but he simply turn the enhanced hearing module in his mask off. They then came in to land “Right on time.” he thought and he got up from the yellow and green tree, with an amazing amount of complexity and style to it he was tempted to stay there to study it, but he had a hunt to attend to and headed towards the landing site.

    Describe how your Yautja acts, and how you intend to play them
    My Yautja thinks of himself as a great strategical mind who creates "great" plans, he is quite a sociable predator who enjoys the company of other predators when he is not preoccupied and on a hunt. Yo'stban tends to blame the marines, his fellow predators and the xenos if his plans go to pot (which hopefully can create some interesting scenarios).

    Ingame Yo'stban will try to formulate one of his "great" plans to test out on the marines and xenos, there will be somewhat of a process that he will go through to formulate such a plan. Firstly, he will scope out the area and note down any sort of useful features and try to clear any obstructions, then he utilises the resources Yo'stban has on hand to create a rough "plan" that he will share with other predators to get their opinions on to which he will finalise it and execute it.

    In your own words, describe the difference between an honor duel and a hunt
    An honour duel is when a worthy opponent such as a healthy marine or a healthy xeno challenges the predator to a duel to where the predator will honourably fight them. Honourably fighting them means not to use external help such as other predators, healing items, ranged weaponary and an unfair advantage against the opponent, like a marine without a sword to fight against an armoured predator.


    A hunt is where a predator(s) hunts worthy prey to gain a trophy or glory, such as a Staff Officer patrolling with a few marines around the backlines.

    How do you intend on interacting with other predators during a round?
    I intend to be a predator who is quite sociable and has the temper of a Saint, however I change quite quickly when my plans fail and resort to blaming other predators /humans/xenos. I feel that the quirk my predator has is quite unique and I believe that will open up some interesting RP routes, which is something I enjoy a lot.

    An insult on how awful Yo'stban's plans are leaves him infuriated and angry about how someone could insult a great strategical mind!

    Why do you want a predator whitelist?
    I quite enjoy RPing but I also want to start a path of redemption because as most of you know I'm a bit of a "dodgy" guy however gaining this whitelist will show that I WANT to change so it's quite personal to me.

    Also my quirk is unique, unless I'm mistaken, so that'll be fun to tryout.

    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

    Having discord access is a requirement because of important annoucements relating to predator codes/guidelines. Are you currently banned from the CM Discord?
    No

    Personally, I love the app. A great deal of preds bait prey, have uninteresting duels, or do the classic stun-drag into shadow-cripple. Not only would walking into some sort of odd trap be neat as a marine or xeno, but workshopping it with your fellow hunters it pretty damn neat too, and exactly what the rules outline. You don't have anything hunt-worthy before marine deployment, and you can't hang-out much during a hunt.

    Question time:
    What's a good example of a "Plan"?
    If a plan goes South, do you try to right its path, or do you move on to a new one?

    I have read his story before and suggested some changes and I am glad he took my advice. The story is interesting and shows how your character acts VERY well, it is, indeed, an unique quirk and I will want to see it in game. You're a good roleplayer and a player in general. I wish you luck! +1

    Hey there thanks for enjoying the app! Now in return let me answer those questions.

    1) An example of a plan is Yo'stban hears about a small marine patrol with someone who is regarded highly within marine ranks (SO, XO, CO etc) Yo'stban will now start to formulate a plan to effectively ambush and to gain a trophy from. The patrol sets out and it looks as if it's heading to, lets say we're on LV, the Medbay from the Nexus this give Yo'stban around a few minutes of preparation and approval however in case Yo'stban requires more time he may try to "bait" the patrol away by A) Luring xenos over which comes with considerable risk, B) Getting a fellow predator to distract them or C) Calling off the plan entirely and engaging them head on which is likely to never ever happen. Yo'stban will then cut away bushes and, if possible, place down cover for himself to use. We then come into the last stage of preparation, approval, Yo'stban will try to make his plan sound grand and risky but full of glory, when in turn it's a Staff Officer with a marine escort, Yo'stban then executes the plan and further adds to his ego that he is the GREATEST Yautja strategist ever to be born.

    2) In Yo'stban's mind if a plan goes south it is not his fault and he will attempt to lay blame upon a fellow Yautja, the xenos or the marines, it is NEVER his fault (Even though deep down inside we all know...)

    So I hope that answered your question. If you want to speak to me you can hmu on discord. AlbertBlackwell#7506.

    Something to keep in mind, you can't hunt the CO.

    Otherwise I like the quirk and you are a good player and RPer, I think you can do great at this role.

    Good luck!

    Non issue then if it was a mistake on staff behalf. Good length, not too long not too short. Its not a gem but its passable. Id like to see how you show the more "negative" side of your preds personality in game without being an asshat to other players. But at the same time i can see a pred being so prideful that nothing that goes wrong could be his fault.

    Ill slide you a +1 but dont take that personality so far that it pisses people off. Good luck

    Your story has nothing in it about your Yautja. Sure, there's him hunting, but where are the parts that describe him as a character?

    This is a bit unorthodox, but write me up a history of your characters clan. It doesn't need to be an essay, but I do want it to contain information where a hunt or hunts are not the main part of the story. You can be as liberal in your story telling as needed, just as long as it does not swerve to far away from what we know about the Yautja.

    Deadline for this is February 7th at 20:00hrs -7UTC.
