RE: K'Hara Recruitment - Straws - 07-14-2024
Application
Do you have a sponsor to join K'Hara? If yes, who? This is not mandatory but will significantly help you in your application and trial stage.
Please provide two or more in-game chatlogs if your Nomad RP. This will be used to gauge your current understanding of the language.
Note that I've edited out irrelevant messages like tips and reds.
Chasing a Zoner in Alpha carrying Artifacts. They outran my Anzu. Time to get a faster ship.

Sigma-15. I ran into a Freelancer and an RM character. Lazurith had Hybrid Nomad tech, so I 'asked' for it. I took the tech, flew off, cloaked, then came back around to observe. RM acted like the event never happened and in hindsight was being strange - he seemed perfectly capable of a 2v1.

[06.07.2024 16:10:56] Lazurith: I hope this helps, sir.
Omicron Alpha encounter. Jumped in from T37 to two outcasts farming on frigates. One was ignored me, the other shot at me right away. I was on the Morph so I couldn't talk or effectively fight back. A Zoner Whale appeared out of the T37 hole and seemed more open to RP, so I pursued him instead and quizzed the biological difference between Outcasts and Zoners, or rather the differences made by Cardamine. Zoner was committed to the trade run, so I didn't chase.

Magellan, somewhere. A VHF popped out of a nearby JH who was carrying 2-3 spare CODENAMES in his inventory. I tried firing CDs but asteroids ate them. I started chasing them in my LF, but they got to a jump gate before I could find an opportunity to CD. Felt improper to use Human tech.

Omicron Gamma. Encountered a Hessian running from DTR players after a cap skirmish above Crete. He drops some Corsair pilots, I kill them, and he goes through a JH. He went through before my message did. I accidentally run into him again in O-41 and it continues. He runs for the RH station, then hangs around for a bit once there, then comes and jetisons some more pilots for me to kill. I shoot him a little bit, but LF vs Frigate doesn't do much and I realised he was RPing a different track anyway. He eventually 'loses control' of his ship and sundives into the O-41 neutron star.

Why do you want to join K'Hara?
I like Nomads (see below), so being in one of the official factions seems like an appropriate next step. Being in the inner circle and having tighter communication with people would probably motivate me to play more and develop my RP ability. Peering behind the veil and being a closer part of the Nomad storyline would be cool as hell. I have some vague memories of flying around in a Morph back in the Keeper days, which is a fun blur to look back on. Adding more blurs would be nice.
What interests you about Nomad Roleplay? How would you rate your current Nomad Roleplay skills?
Nomad ship aesthetics are some of my favourite ever, their spaces look foreboding, their communication style is unique and demands creativity, and their lore is just generally cool. Stalking prey is also a pretty fun activity, and being the monster that haunts deep-space is a fun role to play, and IMO an important one for Sirius to have. Iridium-Gold haulers can pay off Corsairs, but not Nomads. They are thoroughly alien, which is a challenge and an attraction.
I haven’t seen as much Nomad RP as I’d like, so it’s difficult for me to judge my ability when I don't have much to judge it against. That said, I think I’m decent at it, just a bit slow. I’m getting faster and more confident with practice.
Are you happy to be ganked by factions like The Core, The Order and basically everyone else?
Yep; I’m not on a Nomad to make credits.
Do you have future plans for your nomad ship?
Evolving sounds exciting and rewarding, though admittedly I’ve a soft spot for LFs. Maybe I'll have multiple characters (so long as this isn't restricted).
What is your Discord?
I’ll PM you. I’m in the K’Hara Discord already though.

Application
Do you have a sponsor to join K'Hara? If yes, who? This is not mandatory but will significantly help you in your application and trial stage.
I do not currently have a sponsor, but I am eager to prove my understanding and dedication to Nomad roleplay through both in-game actions and collaboration with the K'Hara team.
Please provide two or more in-game chat logs of your Nomad RP. This will be used to gauge your current understanding of the language.
Please describe the situation leading up to the encounter as well. Please also add any extra forum RP to this section too.
Nomad: ~*"Whisperssss... ripple through the dark... seeking minds... consuming thoughts."*~
Core Player: "What the--? Who's there?"
Core Player: ~*"Boundless flow... finite essence... reveal your light, intruder."*~
(Situation: Encounter in Omicron Delta near a Mining Zone . The dialogue reflects Nomad curiosity and the interaction's tense nature.)
Nomad: ~*"Flesh vesselsss... unworthy... dissolve before ussss..."*~
Core Player: "You Nomads don't learn, do you?!"
Nomad: ~*"Learn... adapt... transcend... you fight a shadow."*~
(Situation: Hostile interaction with Core forces while defending Nomad territory.)
Nomad: ~*"Vessel of flesh... unbidden... why do you disturb the Veil?"*~
Zoner: "This is Zoner transport Delta Wing, carrying supplies. No hostile intent!"
Nomad:~*"Intent is meaningless... intrusion is eternal. Return... or be unmade."*~
(Zoner hesitates, prompting further aggression.)
Nomad: ~*"Resistance... disrupts the flow. Shadows rise... flesh dissolves."*~
Zoner: "This is madness!"
Nomad: ~*"Weakness... ensures entropy."*~
(Situation: The Nomad ambushed a Zoner transport in a hostile defense of Nomad space, crippling the vessel and delivering a cryptic warning before leaving it adrift.)
Why do you want to join K'Hara?
I want to join K'Hara to deepen my understanding of Nomad lore and contribute to an immersive and unique roleplaying experience. I am fascinated by the Nomads’ perspective and the challenge of portraying their enigmatic, collective-conscious nature.
What interests you about Nomad Roleplay? How would you rate your current Nomad Roleplay skills?
Nomad roleplay appeals to me because it requires a balance of cryptic language, psychological intrigue, and strategic thinking. I enjoy the challenge of creating an alien, hive-mind perspective. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate my current skills at a 6, with room to grow under the guidance of the K'Hara team.
Are you happy to be ganked by factions like The Core, The Order, and basically everyone else?
Absolutely. The constant threat of opposition adds to the excitement of Nomad roleplay. It’s part of the experience and a great way to create dynamic encounters.
Do you have future plans for your Nomad ship?
I plan to use my Nomad ship to participate in high-quality RP scenarios, focusing on expanding Nomad lore and interactions. I aim to initiate events where Nomads influence human factions through psychological manipulation and cryptic communication.
