Yautja Whitelist Application Rules
Application requirements
- 100hrs in-game in the last 6 months.
- 200 hours in roles total, with a minimum of 40 hours each on Marine and Xenomorph. (Observing hours do not count toward either of these totals.)

- You can not have a job ban active.
- You can not have multiple whitelist applications up at the same time.
- Must read the predator honor code, the character building and roleplay standards page, and the lore page (the wiki page has a good sum of all those things, and more)
- Must do research on your own about the Yautja by consuming Predator and AvP media
Your application will be reviewed and voted upon by the Yautja council. The council may deny an application for any reason. Current members of the whitelist are encouraged to provide feedback on the applicant.
The Yautja whitelist senator holds veto power over all applications. (Note: The whitelist maintainer will always speak with the council prior to the resolution of any application in this manner)
Should your application be denied, you will be eligible to re-apply in 30 days time.
Advertising your application is an automatic denial.
Your application
Name of the Yautja Character you wish to play
The name of your Yautja should be unique, and it should not be something which is not pronounceable, LRP or inspired by real life names and cultures. Yautja names are allowed to have a maximum of one apostrophe and one hyphen, or two apostrophes/hyphens total. The last name for most Yautja is often the name of your clan to which that Yautja belongs to; however, for the sake of player customization, you can rearrange your name to be in any format. Ideally, your name should also be easy to remember.
It is recommended you use a Predator name generator such as the one from Fantasy Name Generators, or alternatively mish-mash words from the Yautja vocabulary collected from AvP media which are available online, such as from Yautja Encyclopedia, AvP central and the Xenopedia.
Ha’dqa, Krath-Yani, Da’yuad, Vur’mekta are examples to which would be acceptable.
Blarg’Mctarth, Mmm’Yosani, QY-WU-R’II, Rig’nald VI, would be examples of names to which would not be acceptable.
Your Yautja’s clan
You must provide the name of the clan to which your Yautja belongs to and you must have express permission from the Clan Leader of the clan you wish to join.
When joining an existing clan, clan lore will not be required. However, while applicants will be able to create their own clan, they must provide around a half page of clan background, whether it be lore, or information involving the sect, and so on.
Yautja character story
You are expected to provide, at a minimum, a 1 page story to which describes your character. This story can be told from any perspective, but it must tell us about who your character is.
While Yautja are commonly portrayed as violent, clichéd alien hunters, in CM:SS13 you will be expected to provide a story that involves more than your character participating in a hunt, though it can still contain one. Be creative, you will not be penalized for doing so, as long as you stay within the boundaries of the lore.
Your story:
- mustn’t have an honor code breach
- must show you understand roleplaying standards and speech standards
- must show you understand interaction with both prey and Yautja
- should show personality traits of your character
