How long have you been playing on the server?: Unsure.

Why do you want to roleplay as an Enslaved/Free Vortigaunt?
Because I want to continue my character's personality on more servers than one.
Do you have any experience roleplaying as an Enslaved/Free Vortigaunt?:
Yes. I played this same character on .DUST, a post-apocalyptic, gritty version of Half-Life 2 Roleplay.
What do you know about the Vortessence?

  • First off, appearance. Most Vortal-creatures in general have their skins coated a mottled-green like colour. This dark tone provides a natural camouflage when placed into an environment like the Outlands or, most notably, the sewers.
  • A Vortigaunt does its' best to stay away from most conflicts, fights and such are not on their agenda to intervene into. Their primary goal is to simply survive. Vortigaunts believe in a binding force labelled the 'Vortessence'. This is what they believe to bind every life in this known universe together; the fabric of every being.
  • As stated in the 'megathread,' Since Vortigaunts are aliens, you won't speak perfect English. You might not know complex words and you may have difficulty pronouncing them. [They] are also noted to use archaic words and syntax, tending to use outdated, even Shakespearean phrases. They also, typically in the game place a 'The' in front of names, which is popularly known as a feature of the German language.
  • Vortigaunts see others of their species as kin, potentially even being viewed as a hive-mind of sorts. If a Vortigaunt accepts a group or faction of human individuals, they will not betray them unless the character has a -very- good and specific reason for the traitorous action.

Give at least ten detailed lines of RP as either a Free or Enslaved Vortigaunt. (Scenario of your choice.):
Kal'Ruuma slowly placed a talon onto the impoverished door to another area of the condemned-zone. "I'm telling you! I don't have your fucking money, man!" Kal's view went to glance past the entryway, towards two men in deep-black suits, "You spent weeks avoiding me after you took your fair share, and now you're saying you don't have -my- money? How much have you been drinking, Bucky?"
The taller male took out a small pipe, raising it up over the other man's head - he'd take a hold of the attacker's arm, struggling to press it away from his cranium. The taller male had an advantage however, and kicked him in the shin in the struggle before bringing the metal-pipe down onto his head. A few moments passed, before he'd drop the crimson-coated weapon and bolt in a dead sprint.

Kal slowly walked up to the injured black-suit, kneeling down. The creature would place a hand upon the man's head, "Keta'loss, Sharr'kun-jun. Gjella'gurr - flesh, tide, knit." A soft emerald glow would begin to form in the Vortal-creatures' hands, seeping in between the cracks of his talons, "Honor our soul, keep it rich; empower us." The light grew stronger, the man could feel his wounds itching, burning slightly as the flesh knit back together at a rapid pace.

Ruuma slowly picked up the male, carrying him into one of the other domains in District Two.

[IC Section]

Character Name: Kal'Ruuma.

Enslaved/Free?: Free.

Write at least two paragraphs explaining the backstory of your Vortigaunt as to why they're either Enslaved or Free.:
A desolate place, the Vortigaunt-homeworld. Perhaps in our dimension, or in the far-beyond. Towering, clawing creatures, fungus-plants, and nightmarish creatures beyond any human's wildest dreams live in these terrible plains. If the land was nigh inhabitable, the waters were more so. Hellish fish larger than an average human male swam between the crescents divided in the greenish seas. Only the strongest would ever survive in these waters, piranha-like Xenians snapping their jowls at every move.

The sky, originally a blue, grayish colour, had a dangerously black tint to it. Crimson thunder ran across the bloody surface of the clouds. "The Nihilanth shall surely place our Vortal-kind in a manner of nigh-inhability." "On this, we agree." Echoing Xenian-chatter raced through the planet's society, interconnected through a hivemind. Sure enough, the skies ruptured, a gaping portal racing into the crimson skies. Twin manta-ray like fighters came racing out, ripping forward at the portal's seams. Out came a gigantic figure, abnormally proportioned in nature with a brownish-gray tint to it. It was similar to a fetus, a towering head atop a smaller-like body.

'Freeeemannn,' It bellowed. 'The last... I am the last...'
Your Application is good but, just a suggestion with your backstory. Explain how your vortigaunt is free snd their interactions with the Universal Union on earth.
Well, they were one of the few that didn't get anally raped by the transhuman forces intercepting via the portal storms.
Sigma said previously:

Well, they were one of the few that didn't get anally raped by the transhuman forces intercepting via the portal storms.

Yes, I can agree with you, but what about at least the arrival on earth till the present day?
Basically, it implies that they were supposedly in hiding throughout various cities' underground-zones. 
I mean you seem like you know what you're doing... So why should this app be denied? The whole point is to see if he can be trusted with the whitelist, and it shouldn't be denied just because of the back story...
The app looks fine, but the backstory, as the others have said, your backstory seems to just be explaining Xen? Try and explain how your vort got freed, PLEASE. I'd hate for a decent app to get denied over a backstory.
Neutral, though.

You claim to have past experience with playing as a Vortigaunt but I personally cannot see it in your application. Each time I read this I feel more and more like you had the wiki open in another tab and were just putting down what you read there because your answers look copy pasted. I realize to an extent this is inevitable with an answer such as "What is the Vortessence?" but you went off answering questions that weren't asked and even then it looked like you took it from an external source. Another issue I have with this is just how uninspired your backstory and RP examples are, they look like you sat down and finished them both in ten minutes and just didn't give a damn. You showed very little actual knowledge of Vortigaunt roleplay in your example and your backstory leaves so much to be desired that I'd end up typing another paragraph on improvements for that alone if I went into it.

Looking at this I honestly don't really know who you are and despite multiple reads I don't know who your character is, what their story is or to what level you could even play them. I can't leave you support and I feel going neutral would be a bit too easy on you.
