[DarkSpetznaz]

Byond ID: DarkSpetznaz

Marine Name (so we know who you are; if you play alien mostly, state that here): Faith 'Dragon' Weeter

Name of the character you want whitelisted (The name your predator will use. This must match your in-game predator name): Net'ha Sigurha

Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor? I have read over the Code of Honor and believe I can uphold it well enough to the point and requirements specified in it.

Character background (An ADEQUATE description and story of your predators background):

► Show Spoiler

Net'ha started out life like many others, born to a father known for their prowess in the hunt, a Yautja through and through, many trophies lay under their belt but it was also a testiment to how fatherly they were. He was raised young and brought up with much strife in their name with the lack of a father only a couple of rotations after his mother died at age 6. Net'ha was alone for many rotations to survive on their own, his father off gaining trophies and fighting in the arena, Net'ha became inspired to follow in his footprints. Training ensued while his father made his name and days turned into months, survival was always a struggle for him and never easy, he learned the honor of a Yautja and how to fight in many fashions with makeshift weapons that resembled the ones he would train with in the arena. Months turning into years of survival until he was finally old enough to join the arena, his father made his way to becoming an Elder and had even less time with Net'ha who had just joined the recruits of the Yautja in the arena. Survival was his primary focus again as the rigorous training pushed him to the limit time and time again though many would say his time was rather eased from his experience of survival. Net'ha Continued his advance through the training until finally the testing battle ensued, a test to see worthiness of both recruits, it would be a trial to the death for one of them, a fight for survival, each given a lance to fight with, a large double bladed spear and Net'ha was ready.

Net'ha circled his prey, another recruit pinned against him, and he circled Net'ha, tension rising towards who would strike first as they stood against each other, the recruit stood and jumped forward to attack first, Net'ha blocking and letting it slide off his blade and landing the sharp edge of the other side against the side of his brother's head and causing a deep gash that would stun and make them scream in pain. Net'ha didn't attack again, waiting for his opponent to be ready again, this wasn't yet that kind of a fight, honor was to be held up as he was trained but he had the advantage now, with a sudden step forward, Net'ha striked first this time, catching his opponent off guard. A flurry of blows landed or were blocked by his opponent before having his feet pulled from under him, landing Net'ha on the ground, his opponent attacked. Net'ha barely parried the blow which diverted into his arm, feeling a tearing, seering feeling every inch and screaming in pain but he didn't stop, knowing how to defeat this pain, he rolled onto his opponent's weapon and pulled it from their grasp and pulling it from their arm at the same time and with a final spin, swung his weapon and caught his opponent in the stomach, cutting it open and ending the fight where his opponent would bleed out and die rapidly.

It didn't take long for Net'ha to be inducted into the Yautja ranks by his father, a decorated Elder through the hunt and a strict, even mean trainer, Net'ha learned through trial by fire in the ring as one of the youngest to join the hunters ranks, a remarkable victory over his recruit opponent marking a great future for the young Yautja.

How do you intend to play your predator (as in, describe HOW you will act/play your predator)? My character understands the needs of honor, something his father gave very little to him while he was younger, his survival time hardened him to battle but he does not wish for battle as long as honor can be upheld. I feel that my character will not be openly hostile, rather keeping to themselves, scoping out targets carefully before hunting them, either defending or retreating from a dishonorable opponent first before the need to fight them to defend their hunt or an honorable fight with a target. (Mostly neutral for the sake of roleplaying out the hunt and not killing needlessly unless it's their target)

Why should we whitelist you? I have been playing CM for quite a while now, since back when the Sulaco was the marine's ship, I am a moderator for the Halo station evolved server and do not wish to do more than play the role that is listed as it is meant to be, I do not wish to misuse the role for my own fun. My objective is to just have righteous fun on the CM and a good experience for me and others hopefully, but we all know how salty it can get. ;P

Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason (we will check, and lies may result in immediate denial)? Nope, None I know of at all.

Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why? I am not banned from any servers.

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? Absolutely, I will not let you down!

The intended playstyle is the usual "I will be honorable and follow the honor code" nonsense, the backstory tells me little of your predator other than the fact you don't seem to understand all predators are brought up with this kind of training, and I honestly doubt his being the son of an elder would have much to do with him being quickly promoted, unless it was as a direct result of his own training regime, which is something you briefly allude to at best. This application doesn't seem well thought out, I'm sure some people will complain about your lack of forum activity, and I can't honestly see anything here that would make me want to give you a chance, -1.

I don't honestly participate in forums much, it's just not my thing, nothing against the community or others nor my loyalty and time with CM, and my character only became the son of an elder by the time they started training as a Yautja... Sad to say I did kinda short this application more than i wanted to, a bit tired right now and wasn't sure how much of a story i could build for this character, so I did my best and was honest to my max, I have no intention of misusing and i've even studied the code of honor... I understand you judging me harshly, you have that right. Also, my play style may seem generic but what does that really have to do with anything? Were you expecting a story of how my playstyle will be? I don't want to play completely to the bloody murder rampage side nor to the passive watcher/cloak and dagger style, more under the pretense of using both in a reserved and tactful way to carve their targets up... which honestly sounds better than what i put now >.<

Also I didn't mention anything about a speedy promotion for my character, I more or less just used more time skipping than I normally wanted to.

Pretty much what Karmac said, I'm going to focus more on your activity though, Forum activity is pretty much non-existant, we need to know who you are OOCly and whether or not the community trusts you with this role, ICly I've seen you maybe once or twice and it's more of a neutral light, didn't see you do anything too lowRP but I haven't seen you do anything that shows you are a good RPer.

My verdict is a -1, put yourself out more, get more activity and work on your backstory, it's not meant to be done in a day, I took 3 weeks and a bunch of people helping me proof-read it before I posted mine.

edit: oh and get more creative with your playstyle, the more creative it is the better, it shows that you're creative enough to make the round more interesting or at least have a couple of ideas about it.

Story contains nothing particularly interesting about your pred, play-style is generic and simple, and I don't know your marine character. I don't like how apps are a popularity contest, and I don't know if pred apps should be so hard, but the server hosts want pred to be a rare, difficult role to attain a whitelist for, so to be consistent with the qualities of accepted and denied apps in the past, I'm giving a -1.

[Lukey111]

-1. You have barely any posts, and I have never heard of your character. Story also feels a bit short, too.

[Karmac]

Honestly I've been rather inactive for a long period of time so in-game and out of game activity are of little concern to myself personally, I'll leave that for others to criticise. As for what I'm expecting from you, I'm expecting you to prove to me you can competently fill out an application without giving me the bare minimum required to pass. Your playstyle is exactly that, it's not something I can criticize to an incredible extent, seeing as very few people put any thought into making their playstyle seem intriguing, but ideally you would describe an idea of a playstyle that would make me interested in seeing you actually play. And I'm not going to lie, some people can pull off the short and concise backstory but yours really doesn't make the cut, it's just missing too much of a 'personal touch' and feels incredibly generic.

Do understand I don't harshly criticize applications because I like to, I do it because there's a very short list of people that bother to take these things at more than face value.

Yeah that's a fair criticism i'll say, I Usually like to put a lot more work into these applications than I did in this one, i don't know if it was my tiredness or what but i just decided to post it >.< I have no doubts this will not pass and i'll come back around and re-post later in time with more work put into the application, sorry to waste everyone's time with this.

Also to everyone, I would appreciate it if you didn't judge me on forum activity alone, as stated in my last reply to Karmac, i'm just not an avid forum person, I used to but it just takes so much constant attention and work that barely anyone ever sees or cares about anyways that i can't really do it, I work 3-4 days a week 12 hours a day and also livestream on my days off along with other things in my life, remember people have lives too. :3

I'm a pretty open person about my OOC self honestly, I just don't really do forums well, I used to do a lot more forum crawling but it just became a consistency and time issue to how active i could be on a forum, too much effort for too little payoff. But anyone can approach me outside of the game still and talk with me, sure that's a little out of your way to know a person out of the few hundreds that play on the server but i'm just saying. I did haphazardly make this application and in my tired state I posted without really thinking it through fully, but thanks for taking your time to check it out.

If there would be a predator update, you would have no knowledge of it unless they told you in-game. People want to see that you make a few posts a week to get people to know you, and if you did get all the whitelisted roles, and only had 15 posts, then they would know you just got on the forum to apply. That is why it is so important.

[NescauComToddy]

Your activity in the forum isn't very good, especially to be whitelisted specifically in this role.

To be accepted, it is necessary that you be involved in the community, besides having a good activity both in-game and in the forum. Your app, no matter how many issues it has, would have a much better chance if you were a recognized player.

You don't have to play at all times, an SL round every two days will increase your reputation, for example.

About what was brought up by other players, I have to agree that your predator is generic. You don't have anything special to bring to gameplay and your background didn't describe your character very much. -1

See other applications, play more and in three months, if you want to apply again, follow their example and you will have a much greater chance of being accepted. Good luck.

Thank you for the advice.

[Kavlo]

Alright I'll keep this brief.

I've never seen you ingame. You have barely any forum activity, nearly half your posts are from this thread. Your background is pretty short and doesn't describe your predator very much other then "they did a lot of training and their Dad is an elder". The play-style is also very generic but that would've been looked over if there wasn't other problems with this application.
