Player Application Post: Round 3

[yhlee]

Please post character applications as comments here. You can find the application form in the comm profile.

I will make a note when we close to new applications on December 7. We are currently looking for six to eight new players. We are now closed to applications.

I will not make final decisions on accepted players until after applications have closed.

[For reference: round 1 of applications, round 2.]

Re: Application - Shuos Neihan

Are you hoping we will force your character into the field, for the delicious angst? If not, what sort of mission support do you envision him providing? (Tech support? Tactical coordination? Deep dive on the psychology of potential adversaries? Something else?)

Re: Application - Shuos Neihan

Honestly, I don't hope or expect anything, except to adapt to whatever the group is going for, assuming my application makes it! :P

In terms of properly employing his skills, I'd say tactical support, rather. You want to raid a warehouse? He'll tell you what's in the warehouse, when the supply windows are, and list five different ways you could make an entrance. You want to locate a hidden supply depot? Give him a listing of moth movements in the area - or don't, he'll get his own listing and then look for patterns anyway. You need to take down a Kel general? As long as he isn't required to do stabby-stabby, he'll dig up as much as possible about the person and organise it for you.

He probably has some 1337haxx0rz skills but that's not really his skillset - he's trained at turning raw information into intelligence, not necessarily the art of infiltrating someone's tech systems to glean info. That being said, sure, he's primarily spent the time just examining responses to Liozh policies, but the raw skillset is the same, and Shuos Academy was probably more focused on operational analysis anyway.

P.S. I doubt he'd be angsty - more pouty/quiet internal screaming tantrum with whining. But also realistically - you can't have spent the past x years riding a desk and suddenly perform at the level of an actual professional Shuos assassin, I don't think.
