'The plushie lets out a final adorable squeak before exploding into a cloud of fluff and asbestos'.
Optional minor brute/toxins damage. :U

If you cuddle something too much too quick it should explode into bits of fluff.

Vulpkanin are German.
For some reason this makes a lot of sense to me.
I find this strangely accurate too and I have no reason why. They just seem it. Maybe wouldn't be bad to make the lore into some similar fashion, minus obvious historic references.
Hm. I still like possible tribal lifestyle. I'd go for a company that's not NanoTrasen finding them and bringing them to the known other systems for cultural reasons. I don't really like how NT gets all the limelight. Surely there must be some other company out there that can beat them to some of the things. Unnamed even, just not NT for once
Pretty much every Vulpkanin played on the station is civilized and educated (Not to mention occasionally serving as members of Command). It REALLY wouldn't make much sense for them to be uplifted tribespeople. At all.
I'd rather see them working with NanoTrasen out of their own desire.

Just me, maybe, but I've noticed that the Vulpkanin language looks somewhat like German. I've uh, actually thought it might be interesting to write their culture up as being somewhat similar to post Berlin Wall-era Germany.
Something similar to punk culture/a pop culture renaissance occurring (Thus why Vulpkanin dye themselves such wild colours and are largely on the young side). For the first time, they're free to leave their home planet and explore. Maybe they're just recovering from a civil war or some'at. I might write up something a little more... Thorough on this matter. Hm.

Barber
*Don fabulous outfit
*Grab electric razor from barber shop
*Hole up in the bar with a few drinks
*Insist pastel pink hair is just 'in' this season

Those bug people. I was immediately filled with regret.
Nothing else really appeals to me from the karma list though. I have barber and I've been plenty fine with just that.
-
Ah yes, disarm spam, bane of my existence. Definitely why I was aiming for knuckledusters, something that could be equipped in the glove slot, though I'm not entirely sure how plausible that is, code-wise. Are boxing-gloves slotted there? Hm.
Sprite-wise, definitely no need to code in a new suit or anything, no. If Para's got anything, it's a lot of fancy suits.
It's definitely an abusable sort of job, but well, fifteen karma. One would think that would be enough to keep all but the most dedicated trouble-makers out.
-
Yeah, no bodyguards. That's what the Blueshield's supposedly for.
-
Oh hey, I'm doin' one of those suggestion things for the first time.
Bouncer
So uh, hard to deny that the bar is kind of a prime spot for violence, both sober and drunken alike. What I'm suggesting is a... Say, 15 Karma job. I couldn't really call it a security job, as it would lack the ability to arrest folks, carry a deadly weapon, or carry out searches. That sort of thing.
Location
Well, the bar, obviously. No office, no extra room. Perhaps they have access to the bar back room, but that might not even be necessary. At most they'd probably get a comfy stool near the entrance of the bar.
Job
You're the bouncer. You keep things orderly in the bar. Break up fights, toss out trouble-makers. Sit near the entrance and look tough.
Equipment
A snazzy suit. Sunglasses. A single cigar to chomp on whilst blowing smoke threateningly in the directions of would-be problem causers.
As far as bouncing equipment goes, a pair of knuckledusters (Or baton or bat) that cause stam-damage and a set of cable cuffs would do well to keep folks in line. One someone's cuffed, it's easier to call for security and have them dealt with.
-----
So, yeah. That's my suggestion. Basically, the bar's THE place for fights to break out, and while the bartender DOES have a gun, it's generally overkill to shoot a drunk and disorderly type with it, beanbag rounds or no. Someone dedicated to maintaining the peace might make folks think twice about throwing a punch over being cut off or looked at the wrong way.
-
God no. Not as an additional race and ESPECIALLY not as a replacement for the Vox.
Resomi aren't even fully integrated into Bay yet, and they're just... Godawful. The snowflakiest of the snowflakes.
Additionally it would require some heavy coding as far as clothing goes, as they're a size smaller than everyone else.
-
Seconding this. Why punch a downed opponent when you can curbstomp their teeth in?
-
When botany actually does their job and feeds the station instead of growing weed all shift.
-
Pretty sure the issue is people purposely ignoring it so they can end the round and start a new one.
-
Additionally, can we have an alien race that ISN'T treated like shit by Nanotrasen? That'd be great.
The Skrell, to name one. The Dionae and Slime people might be up there, too.
I would say IPCs, but I'm fairly certain I'm false. Besides, it makes SENSE that NanoTrasen doesn't like aliens. They're the exact image of a greedy, expansionist and imperialistic (maybe even evil) corporation. They want to turn a profit, not promote equality, so it makes sense that they'd exploit inferior and less-advanced civilizations and species.
That's so... Insanely overdone. And stupidly grimdark.
Eh, either way, it's kind of the least of my complaints about this lore rewrite.
*Additionally it makes NO fucking sense. I see Tajara and Vulpkanin captains all the dang time. I'm sure I've even seen a Vox one a few times.
-
*squint* Okay, so uh... Primary Vulpkanin player here. And I have quite a few issues with this lore.
First of all, let's talk 'behaviour'. I'm a huge proponent of the player-base informing the lore as opposed to the other way around and just... Well. 'Sticklers for rules', pack mentality, obedient to superiors. Have you seen the Vulpkanin players on Paradise? They're total goofballs, often very content to do their own thing, and rarely have I ever see one mindlessly obey any sort of command.
And, I get they're canids. I do. But ugh, can we not do this whole hivemind/collectivist thing? I swear, every single race outside of humans has this. Kidan and their hives, etcetera. I'm especially not big on the idea of Vulpkanin stupidly following commands from some arbitrary 'alpha' sort.
Overall, I think this is far, FAR too detailed and restrictive. Maybe it'd be fine for a heavier RP server like Bay, but not for Paradise.
Additionally, can we have an alien race that ISN'T treated like shit by Nanotrasen? That'd be great.

Name: Song Nahas
Age: Eighteen Earth Years
Gender: Male
Race: Tajaran (Hharar)
Blood Type: O-
General Occupational Role(s)
*Chef
*Barber
Biography: Background information on Mister Nahas is sparse. Picked up on drunk and disorderly charges whilst defiling company property on Mars as a homeless vagrant, he agreed to community service and later opted to continued paid work for NanoTrasen, quickly agreeing to being stationed in far-off Nyx. He works double shifts, alternating between his odd jobs on the the NSS Cyberiad and work at a residential station nearby as a hair stylist.
Originally thought to be mentally disabled by NanoTrasen hiring agents, a quick medical scan was all it took to discover a significantly darker reasoning for his erratic speech habits and odd behaviour. (Please see Medical Records for more information)
Qualifications:
*Registered Nurse
*Licensed Beautician and Stylist
*Adequate chef, trained in Food Safety and Liquor Mixing and Serving
Employment Records:
Part timer both on the NSS Cyberiad and the Emerald Habitation, a low-income residential station in Nyx. While the former involves various odd jobs, usually in the kitchen or dorms, he works at the latter in a hair salon.
He's signed a contract with NanoTrasen indicating that he won't drink on the job. Formerly an alcoholic, despite his young age. Functionally illiterate. Incapable of understanding number and mathematics.
Security Records:
[03 -- November -- 2557] [Public drunkenness/Underage drinking/Disorderly conduct/Public urination/Petty theft/Resisting arrest/Grand theft/Destruction of property] [New Magnitika]
[synopsis] Suspect became severely intoxicated after using a, upon examination, very fake ID and, after being ejected from the bar, proceeded to challenge multiple passers-by to a fight, before vomiting on the side of a NanoTrasen office building and proceeding to urinate on a plaque attached to the wall. When approached by officers, he proceeded to bellow several obscenities in his native tongue, stole an officer's cap, and proceeded to flee down the street after stealing a nearby idling motorcycle.
Halfway down the block, the suspect crashed the bike through a pottery store's display window, at which point he was apprehended at gunpoint.
Medical Records:
Voracious eater with an amazing metabolism. Prone to excess and will often pester medical due to predictable stomach-aches afterwards. A simple placebo pill is often enough to send him on his way. Patient is not to be allowed alcohol at any point of his employment with NanoTrasen.
Additionally, preliminary brain and x-ray scans appear to show signs of a transorbital frontal lobotomy having been performed on the patient at some point in his life, possibly improperly, as the patient has frequently complained of blackouts and lapses in memory. He doesn't quite seem to understand what's been done to him, and attempts at explanation often end in frustration.
Personnel Photo (Appearance text): An oft-grinning and sly-looking Tajaran, standing just above five feet tall and sporting vaguely toned arms. His hair appears to be almost obsessively kempt and well cared for, often styled into a fluffy mohawk. His olive green eyes are wide and curious-looking, though darkened with signs of sleeplessness. His coat is sleek and smooth, with a few darker stripes of brown tracing down his back to the base of his tail. There is a rather noticeable scar in the corner of his left eye, and he wears a tacky little rainbow bracelet around his one wrist. In the photo, he's smiling cheerily and gesturing proudly at his ID tag.

... Aren't you the guy who said all Vulpkanin and Tajaran players are meta-communicators and that any server that wasn't zero to low roleplay was shit?
Yeah, figures you'd make a thread like this.
-
To be serious for a moment, there's times where I wished that we had a ten minute grace period rule, that antags couldn't go after their assassination objectives until that time is up.
Like, fuck, some people wanna enjoy the game, not get their office emagged into and energy speared five seconds into the game, yo.
Probably a bad idea, though.
I dunno, would it be that difficult to have a ten to fifteen minute timer where, during that time, the antag uplink was connecting and couldn't be utilized?
Like, have a runtime where it's scanning perimeters and encoding itself or something.
-
I'd love it if Para could get the hair/sock/undergarment selection that the likes of /tg/ has. Gotta make them snowflakes as snowflakey as possible.
-
As a former Bay regular, it would certainly save me a lot of verbal faux pas. I regularly call plasma 'phoron' on accident.
-
When you've gone out of your way to build a nice big aquarium full of happy fish, or adopted and named a pet, and some mouth-breathing assistant wanders up and kills them for giggles.
-
I'm all for this. Also, if you slip or are disarmed while wielding it, you should fall onto the blade. :V Something like that.
-
Amazing, we've reached both spectrums of shittyness regarding the topic of furries.
Except, y'know, it's obviously a bunch of 'durr hurr anti-furries' griefers trying to cause shit.
-
Yeah, I'm all for this, provided you can only get slapped with it if there's actually something pressing to do and not just 'You took a ten minute break? To the brig with you!'
'Creating a Workplace Hazard' should be enforced more often, there's usually trash and dangerous shit -everywhere-.
Been Ingame a while, figured I'd say hi here.
