First Name: Chikitita Last Name: N/A Gender: Genderless, presents Female Pronouns: she/her Nicknames/Alias: Chiki, of Coffee and Love, Based Coffee Vox, Chickentita, Chicky, Bar Leech, MMI Medium, Chi, Chickentenders, Briki, Voxromancer, Medbay Mascot, CHIKI2TA, ChikititaVox39, Freak of Nature, Wiggly Worm, XENO, Birdie, "Kikeri", Chikorita, the Mad Nurse, Lizard Lady, Narcoleptic Bird Doctor Species: Vox Primalis Blood Type: B+ Height: 3'5", 104 cm Weight: 72 lbs, 32.66 kg Eye Color: Magenta Picture/s: Nanotrasen Issued ID (base by angelictactics) Age/D.O.B: ~27 years, unknown date of creation, documented as the first of January, 2541. Place Of "Birth": Arkship "Survivor of The Fighting Winds of the Star Due North, Bastion to New Ways and Efficient Production" or "Fighting-Winds" Alignment: Lawful Neutral Very dutiful to the shoal, strong enforcer of the inviolate among vox on the station. Her sense of justice is entirely tied to the vox Inviolate. Affiliation: Employed by Nanotrasen. Loyal to shoal. On the Raan-Kirkland-Anide family Spacemas card list. Religious Beliefs: No organized religion, but very superstitious to the point of obsessive paranoia. Also practices almost heretical dedication to vox rules and customs. "Childhood": As a vox, she doesn't have a proper childhood, but she spent her younger years of this host body on a raiding skipjack carelessly learning the skills of a medic through trial and error. After tragedy struck and the rest of her crew were apprehended, she made a very narrow escape by hiding. Seeing her friends carried away never to be seen again through the slits of the locker she was hiding in instilled a tremendous amount of guilt in her, and from then on she resolved to never leave a vox behind again. She laid low for a couple of years afterwards and decided to take the skills she learned on the skipjack to the next level and became a licensed nurse at 20. She was given a full ride to Croxas's Academy of Medicine- the only vox in her graduating class, as part of an alien outreach program. Her arkship suspiciously approved her attendance on the heels of her previous failures, and she hasn't returned to Fighting-Winds since. During her final year of nursing school, her caffeine addiction careened into organ failure, and her heart and kidneys were replaced with cybernetics as a result. Adulthood: After graduation, she tried desperately to get a job at a hospital, but no professional establishments were willing to take a vox nurse seriously, especially with her poor grasp on galactic common. At 21, she took up a contract with Nanotrasen treating patients in the medbay, because the money was good and other vox seemed to thrive there. She now considers most of the crew on the NSS Cyberiad to be her friends, and can't bring herself to leave them even if she wanted to. She appreciates the "respect" and attention from a job well done. Some crew have complimented her skills as a bartender, which she accredits to "being a party girl in nursing school." She swears she was cool. She loves her position in medbay, and has many regular patients she looks forward to seeing (despite the fact that them being in medbay usually indicates something bad has happened). Even if offered in a desperate situation, she will never fill the role of Chief Medical Officer. She feels guilty having others answer to her, especially because of how foreign it is for a primalis to take on such a role. Seeing vox primalis in command positions feels like a slap in the face to the shoal to her, and she struggles to see real authority in them. She has a constant twitch that can't be good for a doctor, but manages it well and doesn't struggle to treat because of it. While suspicious about the fact that her arkship keeps her so far away, she will become defensive and vehemently deny being an exile when asked about her employment situation. She considers her contract honorable, even if it doesn't all add up to her. Currently, she receives 20% of her paycheck for necessities, and the rest of the Nanotrasen shares go to her arkship. She lives on a small station of vox dorms, full of vox primalis sourced from various arkships that need a place to stay for contract work. (pictured top right) "Supernatural" Experiences: Detailed Information Appearance: Stands at about 3'5", a perfectly average height for vox, with uncommon but not unusual greenish blue coloring. Her eyes are a bright pinkish red, and she has her quills styled into a short purplish-red mohawk (whether its her natural quill color is unknown). Her blue sweater is a constant, and it looks old and worn. Rarely spotted without her nurse hat. Character Voice: Loud. She likes to sing, and considers herself musically talented. She is not. Attached is a video from bar karaoke night. chikilowqual.mp4 Personality: In her youth she was more carefree, but losing loved ones because of her actions has made her less selfish. Still, she tends to lose focus a lot, and her curiosity leads her to make very poor decisions sometimes. She hates to lose patients, as most doctors do, but seeing one of her kin die can drive her into hysterics, and she will desperately attempt to bring them to health until something pries her away, even if it is futile. She takes patients dying in her care very personally, and frequently blames herself for their passing. She's developed a more anxious demeanor as she continues to work for Nanotrasen, being subjected to experiences that cause her to be paranoid and distrusting. She fidgets frequently with her nitrogen tank, and you can often find her pacing medbay and talking to herself in her native pidgin. She loathes having to fight, but does what is necessary to survive and protect the ones she cares about if it comes down to it. She feels responsible for the safety of younger vox on-station, and she can get obsessive if she sees them acting carelessly and putting themselves in harms way. For reasons she doesn't completely understand, she finds herself almost instinctively drawn to aiding injured vox. On several occasions she has had to be physically torn away from lost causes. She could never forgive herself if a young first-body vox perished while she was on-station. Once vain and proud of her mohawk when she began working at Nanotrasen, she now cares little about her physical appearance and takes rather poor care of herself- with stray quills lining the shape of her mohawk and dark circles underneath her cybernetic eyes. Character Biography Background: A vox who spends most of her time in medbay as a somewhat respectable nurse. If not in medbay, she is likely drinking a soy latte or getting herself into dangerous situations she doesn't need to be in. Look for her in medbay, the bar, or wherever there are problems. Family: None officially. Because of her lack of real family, she used to believe herself to be expendable. Idunn Raan and her family have taken her under their wing in recent years, and though it's hard for her to admit she appreciates the support and companionship. She's spent weekends sleeping on their family room couch, and 19 year old Tidal Kirkland sets up low-viewership videogame streams for her to star in online. Tidal manages most of Chiki's social media for her, as she isn't the galaxy's most technologically literate. She has a sister-like bond with an engineering vox from another station, Kikeri. Having taught Chikitita to value herself, she's the biggest presence pushing her to take care of herself and not lose herself to her work. While their friendship has had a few rough patches, they've been there for each other through unimaginable circumstances and would both give anything to keep their friend safe. Chikitita allows a runaway vox primalis, Tachaka, to sleep in her dorms to keep him from taking up residence in garbage cans. While she doesn't support running away from your arkship, she hopes she can convince him to return and make amends someday. While the concept of vox having real family is still shaky to her, Kikeri, Takoyakika, and Tachaka have all helped her to value herself and be more considerate of her life's value and she would easily lay down her life for them. History: Reset after 605 years of life for unknown reasons and stored until the year 2464. Her stack as far as she knows is near 97 years old, with 3 iterations currently. Historically speaking, lifespans tend to be cut short. Brought back earlier than most recovered stacks because of a decline in population on Fighting-Winds. Iterations: Other Information - Her usual drink order is two rum bottles filled with soy latte. She claims to like the aftertaste - Enjoys drask remakes of classic films - Secret stoner - Will rarely say no to ultra-lube Faction Relations Allied | Love | Like | Neutral | Dislike | Hate | Enemy Nanotrasen - Dislike. You scare me. Fine. But yer not breaking me. Syndicate - Enemy. A mutual hatred. At least I'll be missed when it finally comes. SolGov - Neutral. No substantial interactions. Shoal - Allied, Love. Anything for the shoal. The inviolate is my duty, even if I.. don't live on Fighting-Winds right now. I miss home.. Personal Relations5 points

I don't draw a ton of SS13 art, but all of my friends have made threads for theirs at this point, so I thought I'd join in with the pictures I do have. First, an ID card I made for my drask character (template courtesy of Skygummi; writing and image by me): Second, a doodle of Viisk featuring Angel Anide (Punkalope) and Chikitita (Heather): This one stems from a joke about Viisk and Angel starting a station vlog highlighting unique drask culinary habits. Viisk never thought to ask if it was safe for humans to consume some of the things she enjoys.4 points

Event: Photo Day Quick description: The Librarian (and any assistants they can rope in) is tasked with taking yearbook photos of as many crew members as possible. Reason for suggestion: Librarian has always felt like one of the least "engaged" roles on the station, so I and some friends have put a lot of thought into how to make it more fun and involved. This morning while joking around we came up with an idea that seems both fun and doable, so I thought I'd put it here. Necessary map changes: No, this event should be feasible on any station that has a camera and a photo album. Necessary code changes: No, this should work completely within the current system. Ideal player count: Should work with any number, but 60-80 is probably the ideal range? Detailed description: Potential modifiers: Notes: Best for extended/"quiet" shifts, as it will involve a lot of people being dragged away from work for a few minutes and as such will be extremely difficult to pull off if the crew is distracted by a blob attack or at risk of abduction. Head of Personnel and Captain should be informed via CentComm fax when this event is happening, as they play minor roles in it. I recommend requiring around 60% of the crew for objective completion; it's enough of a majority to feel both challenging and worthwhile without being such a majority that it's nigh impossible to complete.4 points

Posted a PR adding the existing system to all species rather than just a subset of them. This does mean that anyone who picks the 'Genderless' option will use the female sprite by default, but I personally don't see that as too big of an issue. This is more for the pronouns than anything else at the moment. https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/160072 points

i was told to make a thread, so here we go!!! let's start this off with my main ss13 character :] Idunn Raan is my main character (41 - she/her - bisexual) who divorced her husband after he put their daughter Freya in a dangerous situation, resulting in Freya's eyes being replaced with cybernetic ones. She used to be a combat medic before joining Nanotransen, so surgery isn't exactly her strong suit without someone to guide her - which isn't exactly helpful in fast paced situations where patients needing surgery pile up. Before I started learning Medical Doctor in earnest, I started Idunn off in Botany!1 point

As I am not a coder, I will preface this with an obligatory "I don't know how this would be implemented" Anyways, with that out of the way. I would like to suggest (not sure if been suggested before) that we add a 'nonbinary' option to gender when creating characters. I imagine that it would be similar to taking the already existing examination descriptions when people are masked or in hardsuits with the 'They are...' and such. But would extend to when unmasked. It might also include extended clothing options for people who pick it. I would certainly use the option and I believe that if it were an option, other players might feel more comfortable with it too. Thank you for reading.1 point

Hello, one problem I have been noticing often is that antags are severely punished for RPing with people while doing their nefarious deeds. I've come up with an idea for a new item that will make it easier for antags to RP with the crew without putting themselves at a severe disadvantage by revealing their identity. Please let me know what you think and if this would be a good addition to Paradise. Adds: Chameleon voice scrambler traitor item 1 tc Craftable voice scrambler gas mask Both can be found in maints loot What do they do: While wearing the voice scrambler, your identity shows as Unknown and when you speak, you speak as Unknown. The craftable version looks like a gas mask with a voice analyzer thing attached. The chameleon version looks like a gas mask with all the associated chameleon abilities. Recipe: Craftable: voice analyzer, 5 cables, gas mask, (multi-tool? tape?) Why it's good for the game? This idea would implement a weaker version of the voice changer that is easier to acquire but cannot mimic voices, only hide them. Antags need a way to easily talk with and RP with their victims without immediately giving away their identity. The chameleon kit is too expensive when all you want to do is be able to talk and its not available to vampires or other antags. Many antags won't talk to anyone because their voice will reveal their identity which leads to a boring cycle of no-interaction traitoring. While it's true that antags can whisper to hide their voice, this feature is not widely known and is severely limited by only being able to speak to someone next to you. Obviously, as an antag, there are many reasons you wouldn't want to be next to people when you are typing a message. Making it an uplink item gives traitors immediate access, while a craftable non-chameleon version makes it available to crew and vampires if they find the right items. The other reason a craftable version is important is so that you cannot metagame by knowing that "Unknown voice = traitor" Because anyone can make one of these, it adds some ambiguity as to whether the person is truly a bad guy or not. Contraband/Space Law/Griefing: I would recommend the chameleon version to be class C contraband, but not the craftable one. That way security doesn't have a reason to immediately shoot as soon as they hear someone speaking as "Unknown". However if this seems too easily abused, they could both be class C. There is some potential this item could be used by non-antags to do griefy things, however I don't think it will be a big problem. If someone wants to hide their identity and greytide, they can already do it. The only thing this adds is the ability for someone who is greytiding to speak, which I would argue is still slightly better than silently greytiding. Let me know what you think and if this would be an improvement. I am very interested in making it easier for antags to RP with the crew without putting themselves at a big disadvantage.1 point

hihi, time for more art! (i do hope this isn't too much of spam hghfhdhg) we hitting february and march 2021 today this one's featuring Cure#FF99FF during a round where Idunn's brain was stolen after her murder, and following Cure flatlining, Idunn briefly encouraged her to keep living for the short short moment they were reunited in the afterlife. here's a short sketch of Idunn and Freya in their original renditions! their relationship is much messier in their original verse, but they do get better as people and make up eventually :] this one's from a round with Idunn and her girlfriends (Angel Anide and Rivera Kirkland) where we had queued up to learn cargo tech, and our QM (who was APPARENTLY a syndicate agent) spent their whole shift teaching us the ropes, it was hysterical when the round ended and we found out LMAO finally i have my current Idunn ref, which covers her three typical outfits :] it's got a couple notes that I expand on more in her crew record (found here), but i really am pleased with how it came out!1 point
