Application: Groshyr How did you find the faction? What caught your interest?
it is not going to be a brief text. Besides, there are some whines on it.
So, I got bored and have made a nomad gunboat to shoot targets in Delta with a few more people. We got ganked by united Auxesia, Core, Order and Zoners with some people I will not mark but they will understand I was writing about them.
However, back to the chase: So I made a nomad gunboat, died and later tried again to hunt a target but together with a nomad snub got RP with Order (including Black Fleet member) in Mu. It was quite interesting to experience but as I was not good at the Nomad RP back then I was mostly dropping narrative lines mixed with visions and some blurred emotions by the Nomad itself (I'm sorry for this horrible RP).
A bit later I asked @Foxglove for guidance and when I got it - I have made a cruiser and went to Malta. There I was trying to RP once again but this time by mixing narrative style and visions. I hope everyone participated have enjoyed it as well as I did.
A bit later I have returned to RP again but got shot (yes, again by the National Council but this time it was a battleship).
However, I believe these two encounters were good for my English as I was getting unusual experience when my character is not just talking but I am myself are narrator of the process - I am telling the story of a nomad but the nomad itself just streams visions to everyone who can see and understand it (as I called them in my narrative - Blessed Souls, the ones who have been touched by the Orange Dream - however, I believe it was overdone).
Still yet, this does not explain why I want to join the Vagrants. I am not going to tell you things as "I want to join the faction because this is the best faction in the world" but I will tell you next: I want to join because I am looking for a company to fly with. Though, I have found "narrative RP" enough hard and good to become an exercise in my English improvement. Therefore - I would like to pick out a few short reasons:
Company for role-playing and ooRP talks in Discord or group chat in-game.
A possibility to improve my English by "narrative" RP.
Unusual Discovery RP experience.
Besides this, Vagrants have a few things which I prefer over the K'Hara unlimited ZoI or infinite cloak - the jump drive to every ship class, limited ZoI, better ID lines than the K'Hara has (as for me, of course). I hope my answer fully satisfies the title question.
Have you read the faction writeups? Do you know what a Nomad is and do you have experience roleplaying them?
I am aware that Nomads are aliens created by Daam K'Vosh race, disappeared centuries ago and left behind the Nomads, Cardamine. They have been tried to destroy (at least it was looking so) humanity or assimilate it after a bloodshed war (I'd prefer this scenario, to be honest). However, they have been defeated by the Order and Edison Trent in 801, right when the future Vagrants been sucked in the Hypergate inside the Dyson Sphere in Omicron Major.
In 827 AS there is two groups of Nomads - the Slomon K'Hara (nomads connected to the mindshare, the one who left after Vagrants gone, forced to hide in the Omicron-99(Iota) and kept eliminating human race in the Sirius and infiltrating their ranks by Wilds to spread the seed of chaos within the mankind) and the Vagrants (disconnected from K'Hara mind share, less advanced in the infiltration or fighting humans at all but more capable in jump technology and able to use humans for their goals without infiltrating)
If my knowledge is wrong or requires to enhance - I am always up to get something interesting and new.
How long have you been playing Freelancer? Do you have experience leading factions, etc.? Have you ever been sanctioned and if yes, why?
I have started to play Discovery two years ago. However, my total experience around is about one year due to about one year pause of playing here. I was never sanctioned and I want to believe I will never be.
As a Nomad, you are the antagonist. Are you aware that you are to play this role and that others will treat you as such? Do you have a problem with that?
If I see that the subject of my RP is interested to get RP then I do it. If not - we shoot. The only problem I might have its to face the gank squads - its always disappointing to lose in an unfair fight.
Do you have roleplay experience outside of Discovery? Did you ever play on other Freelancer servers and if yes, which?
I have various experience of RP outside Freelancer at all. I was playing mostly at Russian forums of various fantasy RP projects but mostly this experience was within Harry Potter fandom and I am not ashamed of this. However, except the Discovery I was playing to the Nightstalker's Universe.
We have a clear code of conduct. We expect decent behaviour from our members on the forums as well in the game. Do you believe you will be able to do that? Do you acknowledge that your membership can be terminated if you violate the faction code of conduct or the server rules?
I have read the Vagrants' code of conduct and fully agree to follow it.
While not strictly necessary, getting a grip on your roleplaying ability is crucial for our evaluation process. Please provide links to roleplay that you have done on the Discovery Forums as well as a list of character names you use in-game.
