  1. Ckey/BYOND Username: Urthrem Position Being Applied For (coder, mapper, spriter): Mapper Past Experiences/Knowledge: I do have 2 to 3 years spent around Eternia and Spires of Agartha mapping. Being one of the main mappers for the Spires development. Both are using Dream Maker as tool for maps. I haven't touched SS13 mapping before but I am more than willing to do so. I been working around mapping and level design since I was 10, at first for fun in many of the strategy games before deciding to move on to RPGs alike The Elder Scrolls or Fallout series (Including 1,2 and Tactics). I have helped around multiple private wow rp servers, using Noggit to map out areas and fix errors found around them. Examples of Past Work: [*]One of the older, more serious project planned for Eternia...that never got approved since the owner decided to move on to Spires of Agartha. https://gyazo.com/collections/ec65a350c12ba04c1f2fa8b07cfb2342 [*]Spires of Agartha mapping process, with screenshots being my progress through the development. Mostly collected for the owner to go through as time went on. https://gyazo.com/collections/8acb51cdf24ee21b1b597a3ded6d346b [*]More recent project of one of the Islands that were meant to surround the Agartha (Something that was requested during planning phase but was never completed due to time constraint) https://gyazo.com/collections/08fe9f315eb2b920b91c6c876317cee5 Preferred Mode of Communication (Skype, Steam, etc.): Discord: Sneki #1653 Additional Comments: As mentioned before, I do lack experience in SS13 mapping but I am more than willing to learn and master it if given a chance.
  2. There is nothing wrong about your response, I am usually trying to be friendly but there are cases where O-O-S will act just like a machine (He is one after all, that and I irl can be dealing with things at times, seeing that I am currently going through work placement and have to ensure that I am prepared for another day. But often the ignoring or antisocial behavior is not intentional) and simply walk past towards his destination or task at hand, I also can not spot RP's or some people due to visual impairment or simply due to fact that I don't focus on the chat at the current moment. I also have requested over the ooc chat to leave your critique or even ask questions if you had any, knowing that it would be best for me to respond and clarify things to people that don't see or interact O-O-S as character and me as a person too often. How do I plan to make engineering work with other departments fluidly? If I do reach the Chief Engineer role I do plan to at least attempt looking through available engineers, atmos technicians, apprentices and janitors to determine who is good at what, making it easier to assign them to certain tasks as the shift will go on to. I also plan on making announcements where any new breaches are reported over general comms or through chain of command system (seeing that sometimes no one is at the engineering to look at the alerts or if there are no AI and borgs around) to reduce the time on having the crew members form engineering department to reach to the distress. Issues between the crew and departments, the unbiased state even towards ones he considers friends is bit more difficult but obviously in situations that require such O-O-S would work towards disabling his emulated emotions, believing that cold calculations and following NT laws would be more important than feelings, with only exception being the moment where such usage of law was evidently unjustified and even could lead towards harm of the crew and not only the friend that was involved. Depending to how well staffed the engineering would be, if it was filled with apprentices, I would be focusing on training them to best of my skill after finding out how well were they trained and if the round start equipment was already set. If not, I would most likely take said apprentices to engine itself, advising them to wear protective gear while also giving tip by tip instructions of how to deal with the equipment without causing problems or in the worst scenario causing the station damage. If at least one engineer was to be present I would be focusing on getting one or two apprentices to shadow said engineer, requesting that their could learn from their work, while also taking at least one of said apprentices with myself. I wouldn't want to overburden my engineering crew while leaving myself useless, head role does not stop me from continuing to do my job as an engineer but instead applies the need to coordinate the available department crew and allow them to deal with portion of the tasks, while taking ones that remained to handle. In situations where engineering staff was full I would focus on coordinating the department crew around while either observing their progress, offering assistance if they were seeking, including assigning apprentices to engineers and atmos technicians, while also trying to help with responding to distress signals that were to appear during the shift, if needed heading to help with handling them if everyone from the department was busy. Head of Staff Position isn't a comfy task of bossing people around, it is a privilege and responsibility, which requires the need to focus on the department as a whole and individual crew members who would require assistance, coordination or even support if such situations were to arise. As head of the department I would take responsibility for my own and my crew's actions, attempting to lower the possibility of negative situations accruing if possible, but also looking towards finding solutions to each, even smallest problems that could arise even at the very beginning of the shift. Though I will not lie, I am a human being and I will make mistakes or if I am tired I will end up making wrong choices, often though I will seek ways to handle them and learn to not let them repeat in future. If my response didn't come as valid or it didn't respond to any of the questions then I do apologize, I tried to reply best to my abilities.
  3. I have added bits and bobs, not sure it if its enough though.
  4. BYOND key: Urthrem Character names: O-O-S, CARRIER, Peabrain, Tomasz Wilczewski How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Since Summery 2017 rougly. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I been roleplaying as O-O-S for a while now, developing his backstory, first as borg and then as Baseline IPC, helping around the engineering, with few people suggesting Interim position of Chief Engineer, which in time led me with decision to give it a good few times. After a few attempts I have decided to post an application, seeing that it is something I believe I am capable of doing and relatively enjoy. Why did you come to Aurora?: I was looking for friendly roleplay server, one that had relatively strict rules but also allowed for players to have a good time while being on it. As I kept roleplaying I have found out that the both player base as well as administration appears more mature and feels friendlier than what I have seen so far on different servers. To include originally looking map with multiple Z levels (something I missed seeing). Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: I did and I do plan on returning to them, as well as the rule pages for sake of refreshing my memory, seeing that I do have tendency to forget things over the time. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about: Roleplay involve interaction between two or more people in a group, giving people the chance to experience a different angle in life, adventure into different world, not limited to what we perceive around us. The world often being described differently to what we know, with only imitation being ones mind and imagination. Given together Roleplay gives life to wide variety of worlds that people can roleplay in, with different characters, play different roles and experience different situations, adventures, allowing to remove the boredom and narrowing routine of everyday's life. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: Head of Staff exist to help with coordinating the crew around different departments on the station to create a fluid and smoothly working system that allows for the station to become more or less self-sustainable environment, their task is to ensure that each crew member keeps doing their job while also helping them if they have a problem or are struggling with anything, passing along their own knowledge and inform right departments and their corresponding heads of staff of the issue to work out a solution to the problem while trying to affect the work flow to a minimum extend. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Responsibility depends to type of the whitelist itself, seeing that players whitelisted into different races than human are meant to help the others learn bits of the custom cultures, habits and customs that said race possesses, often offering unique interpretation and personality that draws other players to learn more and perhaps giving them a chance to seek opportunity to find out more on wiki to perhaps apply for similar race in future. I been roleplaying as O-O-S for a while now, often trying to offer an interesting plot around him while trying to keep true to what IPCs are, how they act and behave. Staff and special class whitelists focus on helping with understanding the role while performing its duties, giving a bright insight on responsibilities and privileges of having them available to use and play as. They often have more access and are portrayed as more serious and experienced manner than usual crew members, this can lead towards helping other players making a choice of trying to try to and strive towards trying to learn more about them as well as seek ability to roleplay as such. Whiteliested players can and often should be encouraged to assist new or less experienced players with their duties to encourage them towards further roleplay in harder situations. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: O-O-S Character age: Cyborg age 8 years, IPC age 1 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): O-O-S existence began as one of many personalities prepared for download into android shells found onboard of one of many NanoTransen stations, with Aurora being one of those that it was to assist over the course of its existence and usable period, with few lines of code prepared for it to slowly begin developing, though with restrictions in place to avoid any rampart outbreaks that could result in potential risk to NanoTransen installations, systems and networks. Over the course of years O-O-S quietly kept working, handling each single task given to it without question, slowly gathering data that it began to intepretate in different manner, building up its knowledge and slowly starting to piece its personality and consciousness as a machine. Major step came during one of the usual shifts where OOS attempted to replace the lack of gardeners in order to feed the Kitchen with fresh ingredients, following the request for more eggs it attempted to order pair of chickens from cargo, where it was requested to pay for the order. Confused by the request it proceeded towards inquiring the need behind the need for payment, coming to realization that as NanoTransen property it had no means of handling said payment, with suggestion leading towards contacting chef to complete transaction and for O-O-S to acquire IPC shell for better interaction with environment and to accumulate its own savings over time. Said idea remained within its database from where it made a query towards one of the available at the time Research Directors, if transfer to IPC shell would be even possible or considered something outside of what ones would consider an malfunction. With positive response from the director the OOS requested an attempt to process a line of paperwork needed for NanoTransen approved posibrain transfer. Upon receiving the IPC shell O-O-S continued to improve, developing his own knowledge gained through hard, dedicated work and tips given to him by his fellow co-workers and crew members, learning how mimic some of the more complex emotions, expanding his own personality while also trying to remain as friendly as he possibly could even in worst scenarios he was forced to face through the time of his work on Aurora. Over the time, the friends he made around engineering gave him the suggestion to try his luck around the commanding staff on position of Chief of Engineering, seeing that his knowledge and ability to cooperate and coordination with the crew gave a hint to well developing command and management skills. Through the period of months and shifts went through Interims as Chief Engineer, noting all mistakes he made during that time while slowly trying to work a plan that would allow him to improve on, wishing to become better leader and co-worker. What do you like about this character?: I like his attachment to the crew, the idea of having free will to decide if he desires to help the others or not, without Law systems slaving him to do so. I like that as he developed he began more aware of his surrounding, learning how to emulate certain emotions, mimic how people around him reacted to different stimuli, slowly working over narrowing down the margin of error that made him stand out in certain situations, acting differently than how a normal person would. Hes diligent and ready to deal with problems head on while trying to help the crew, placing their well being and life above his own. What do you dislike about this character?: Speaking of dealing with problems head on, O-O-S often ends up rushing things out, forgetting that he no longer has cyborg chassis, meaning that both, pressure and temperature can damage his systems, leading to relatively frequent visits to the Roboticists lab to be repaired. Over the time he also has became more bold and stubborn with his choices and actions, sometimes pushing himself into someones work, trying to force the pattern he got taught and got used to without consideration of another persons opinion on the matter. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: I would believe that O-O-S development of the bond between crew members, especially around the engineering department along with the suggestions given to him resulted with the attempt of working as the Interim, testing his own skills and inspecting how he would have acted in certain situations, with mixed, though mostly good results in the long run. With multiple rounds spent as Interim the engineering and command crew suggested for him to apply for the permanent position, seeing that he was more than a fitting candidate, capable of making right choices, putting his crew members life about his own, along with looking after their physical and mental health in stressful situations. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I could say that it has improved over the period of months, with myself constantly looking for any mistakes I make, often looking towards fixing them for sake of being able to avoid drama and possibly causing problems to the players and the administration. I do plan on accepting constructive criticism and using it to continue improving my own and everyone's experience and enjoyment in the roleplay with me. Extra notes: I do apologize if some of my application appears shorter than usual, I am trying to avoid repeating myself in response to the questions I been asked to answer to. I also am more than happy to accept constructive criticism towards my person and O-O-S as my character, I do believe that they will be a great help to improve upon.
  5. Thank you for pointing it out, I have removed the additional pocket part from the application.
  6. BYOND Key: Urthrem Character name: O-O-S Item name: Worn out trenchcoat Why is your character carrying said item to work? The trenchcoat is piece of style that O-O-S developed ever since he was given the IPC Chassis, wearing it along with his trusted turtleneck and webbing.The coat itself is a reminder of the start, the day when he became an IPC and gained freedom of choice and the chance to become something more. Through the time the coat began to gain signs of usage, tearing in few places from being removed and putted on relatively often, with holes being sewed each time O-O-S had time to do it, along with it came the splats of dried oil and soot marks in spots the IPC didn't notice it. Item function(s): An armor slot gray trenchcoat with three small storage slots in it, used as fashion grab and protection from a bad weather. Item description: A gray, rugged and patched trenchcoat, with signs of extensive usage, having signs of differently colored thread sewed into the material along with patches of similarly colored material in different spots hiding few holes and torn parts, along with oil splats and soot gathered in spots that weren't cleaned or spotted, giving the hint of being in usage for a good while. Item appearance: A lightly retextured version of grey trenchcoat, preferably with few patches of material covering some spots of the coat itself, along with oil splats and soot. How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? It would show that as time passes O-O-S keeps wearing the same clothing piece, perhaps because he lacks money to get new one or perhaps he got attached to it, seeing it as something more than apparel that you put on and wear, making it a piece of him, allowing others to distinguish him from the crowd. To him the coat is like a skin, which he wears nearly always, perhaps with exceptions of times when he has to dome the engineering void suit to work in depressurized areas. Additional comments: I am not the most descriptive, for which I apologize, but the trenchcoat itself is feel like unique piece of O-O-S self and appearance, something I as player and O-O-S grew attached to and would really like to see added to the game, as more sentimental value.
  7. [mention]sdtwbaj[/mention] Could you please elaborate on your statement? I would like to know what do you mean by me being validhunter and in what situations did I prove to be one, its for the possible improvement in future.
  8. [mention]Coalf[/mention] The issue might be because I ended up playing on CM for bit too long where /me emotes aren't too used due to how action paced and usually chaotic each round is, giving little to no time to really focus on emotes. That and the fact that I roleplayed on Eternia where emotes are either with ** or separate windows and the fact I haven't played Space Station 13 for nearly a year just adds up to the fact. Also I decided to give it a go with borg because I had no real idea for any new human character meanwhile Garry doesn't exactly seems to be fitting in anymore, he was more of Phoenix serious, grumpy mad scientist which here just won't work and with lack of understanding towards the other races and their lore I decided to play around stuff I knew for a while and needed less in terms of refreshing what I have forgotten over time (for which I am thankful to all staff members for not banning me whenever I did something wrong) .Meanwhile I also tried to understand how this station functions before deciding to jump into lore regarding all races and risk failing miserably because I am too new. I am trying to be understanding and think before doing anything but as someone with really short temper I might not do too well in some situations, ending up with unwanted drama or saltiness. Its not something I desire to cause and I am trying my best to work over it and avoid causing problems, which makes me glad that I appear to for once not appear as toxic or really annoying player. I really enjoy this community, staff crew and server itself, it brings back good memories from a time when the other servers used to exist, one of few HRP servers which offered quality of roleplay over chaos and destruction that other servers often display.
  9. BYOND Key: Urthrem Staff BYOND Key: superiorform Game ID: bRh-cQkV Reason for complaint: Acknowledgement of the warning regarding the complaint following the [url=]https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=9484[/url] Following the IC logic and the behavior of said raiders during the round the law conflict regarding situation I was placed as borg led towards leaning towards greater odds of captured Chief Engineer's harm during the raiders control over said crew member. Seeing how said raiders had no intents on keeping crew members alive the machine logic choice landed on engaging said raider to attempt and save the Chief. To add, said attempt to escape was impossible due to raiders ability to get up and simply attempt to murder CE and the borg at any second following the initial attack and attempt to flee. This led towards resumed assault until it was 100% clear that raider wouldn't try to just get up once more and just start attacking either Chief or borg itself. In this case said raider died from the drill wounds as they kept attempting to get up and draw their weapon leaving Chiefs life at risk, in addition no visible line of roleplay on my game client was present regarding Chief Engineer being held at gunpoint, the fact that they were held by raider with a gun can be differently interpreted, e.g. raider using the other arm to reach the cycle mechanism to close the airlock and prepare to fill the room with air or with raider holding the gun by his side, it was not specified by the raider that gun is at chiefs neck, head or back, chief was standing NEXT to said raider and not in front of them, they weren't held at game mechanics aim which would be one of the other possible way to clarify the situation. Lastly, if my action was shutting any other options of roleplay then why raider was not warned when they began to just assault me with clear intents to disable me? Giving me now chance to respond or even making any gestures towards emote to engage in their actions, something I was warned for previously. While the chat smokes appeared none were directed towards me, leading that said raider might have just warned someone on their frequency to which I had no access. Evidence/logs/etc: Other than the game ID, previous linked topic there is no real evidence. Additional remarks: Neither Chief Engineer or anyone else that was informed, both iCly or OOcly saw an issue in what I did, including another staff member that had chance to read the situation on the LOOC chat. Do note, this is a situation report, directed on the problem at hand and my person not agreeing with the warning.
  10. From my side of defense . I was dealing with mining when you twice in a row attacked me without any roleplay with other riders simply shooting at me, first ending up with me in space and second time shooting with xray gun. I didn't creep around you in the mines, I was dealing with my task as mining module until I spotted you at the ship. I called for help over comms with no response from anyone from the crew. To clarify : 1. Safeguard: Protect your assigned space station from damage to the best of your abilities. 2. Serve: Serve NanoTrasen personnel to the best of your abilities, with priority as according to their rank and role. 3. Protect: Protect NanoTrasen personnel to the best of your abilities, with priority as according to their rank and role. Following this logic as a Cyborg/Android the logic orders to attempt to assist the crew member in situation where no security team/crew members or ERT is available, no roleplay or moves were done towards threatening the life of head of staff with weapons or actions. Ignoring the crew member in distress would lead towards violation of laws that state that cyborg/android is to protect the crew to best of their abilities which led towards choice to jump in and attempt to free the chief engineer.
  11. BYOND Key: Urthrem Character Names: Garry Metzger, O-O-S, Ulrof Volha Species you are applying to play: IPC Baseline/Industrial What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Light gray/engineering yellow/orange Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes I have, though I might need time to fully memorize it. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question Why do you wish to play this specific race: I always enjoyed roleplaying as IPCs and now, following the events on Aurora as O-O-S the idea of changing the slowly becoming self aware borg into IPC by transferring its Positronic brain to new more humanoid frame, as result of idea sparked by one of the quartermasters during one of the shifts. Said desire led towards request towards Research Director available during the shift, requesting the necessary paperwork required for the transfer. Meanwhile the process was being done with the paperwork O-O-S continued its service to the NanoTransen meanwhile trying to define a borderline of where its consciousness wasn't breaking any of the laws attached to it, exploring different aspects of its slowly acquired selflessness. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: IPCs unlike humans have Positronic brain artificial intelligence inserted into one of two variants of humanoid chassis, Baseline and Industrial. Difference between baseline and industrial can be spotted in IPCs ability to deal with complex tasks, with more advanced versions having better and more expensive posibrains which usually show how much money was put/they put into them. Meanwhile Industrial based IPCs have more durable exterior chassis for better environmental handling , higher quality parts for greater mobility and complex posibrains, together designed to handle more serious physical labor in exchange for lack of more serious personality and emotions. Unlike organic races they don't have to relay on light or food to survive, being powered by internal batteries which in industrial IPC case drains faster due to better cooling system and internal components. Character Name: O-O-S Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs O-O-S existence began as one of many personalities prepared for download into android shells found onboard of one of many NanoTransen stations, with Aurora being one of those that it was to assist over the course of its existence and usable period, with few lines of code prepared for it to slowly begin developing, though with restrictions in place to avoid any rampart outbreaks that could result in potential risk to NanoTransen installations, systems and networks. Over the course of years O-O-S quietly kept working, handling each single task given to it without question, slowly gathering data that it began to intepretate in different manner, building up its knowledge and slowly starting to piece its personality and consciousness as a machine. Major step came during one of the usual shifts where OOS attempted to replace the lack of gardeners in order to feed the Kitchen with fresh ingredients, following the request for more eggs it attempted to order pair of chickens from cargo, where it was requested to pay for the order. Confused by the request it proceeded towards inquiring the need behind the need for payment, coming to realization that as NanoTransen property it had no means of handling said payment, with suggestion leading towards contacting chef to complete transaction and for O-O-S to acquire IPC shell for better interaction with environment and to accumulate its own savings over time. Said idea remained within its database from where it made a query towards one of the available at the time Research Directors, if transfer to IPC shell would be even possible or considered something outside of what ones would consider an malfunction. With positive response from the director the OOS requested an attempt to process a line of paperwork needed for NanoTransen approved posibrain transfer. Over the course of weeks the OOS continued its duties while developing its unique understanding of the world in the background with huge breakthrough appearing during another shift where OOS was requested by another director with which it partly befriended to assist with certain experiment. Without proper explanation to the matter units posibrain was moved towards synthetic head attached to organic, human body, leading towards uncontrolled and chaotic overflow of data which led towards gaining additional reasons to acquire a new chassis. What do you like about this character? The fact that O-O-S is a fresh and well developed character, starting as basic borg, slowly developing into bit more self-aware being that as rounds progressed began to gain better understanding of the world that surrounded it with idea of new and perhaps better body given to it by others. Through the time making friends in the meantime, even with fake emotions. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Depends, if I am well rested and not stressed or anxious I can provide well versed and high quality roleplay, though the more exhausted and more stressed I get the worse the quality becomes, sometimes hindering my skills and making it prone for me to make mistakes and even harder to understand. Each time I am attempting to improve my quality and if possible I am trying to avoid roleplaying at moments when I don't feel well enough to keep high quality of roleplay. Notes: First lines of backstory will be similar to what I wrote in previous question due to it partly explaining OOS story so far.
  12. BYOND key: Urthrem Character names: Gary Metzger / O-O-S / How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Month or so after initial release, now I have returned after year or two break. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: Why did you come to Aurora?: Originally I arrived after following the crew and playerbase from previous server Distant Travels or USS/NSS Phoenix on which I used to roleplay alot. Now i am really looking for less chaotic and insane games on SS 13... Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: I did and I do plan on following them. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about: Roleplay is the art of taking control over a character, tailored into a world, often different one to our current one with circumstances defining new laws that drive said world and everyone within it. With each game and rules being different the idea of roleplay is for people or as its commonly called, players to return to said world for more adventures, stories and sometimes to learn more of it, helping shape it to allow more players to enjoy the settings and experience a different worlds. For some the roleplay can be escape from overwhelming problems and boredom, with never ending tales from different roleplay games can bring relief and take time in even worst times, working as an escape from the stress of real life. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: Each of the Head of Staff assigned to different branches of the station, their job is often to help guide fellow branch workers, ensuring the best possible productivity is achieved, through solving the issues and resolving conflicts that might suddenly arise. In addition each of the Head of Staff can either assign other crew members to tutor and overseer the work of new interns and crew in training, unless of course they were to decide to tutor them themselves. Additionally the Heads of Staff are responsible for making decisions surrounding their departments and in most dire situations entire station. Together they help shaping the stations image and focus on keeping entire process well oiled and functioning, through ensuring that crew follows the laws and policies that abide them meanwhile they are on the station. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Depending to the type of whitelist. Players with race whitelists should reflect the ability to imitate and impersonate different species, following their lore, roleplaying according to their habits, cultures and behavior. Well roleplayed characters from different races can shine a light on how they work, making it easier for other players to learn from it and perhaps decide to apply for a chance to play as them as well, widening their knowledge surrounding said races as well as including ability to try new things themselves. Staff and special class whitelists focus on helping with understanding the role while performing its duties, giving a bright insight on responsibilities and privileges of having them available to use and play as. They often have more access and are portrayed as more serious and experienced manner than usual crew members, this can lead towards helping other players making a choice of trying to try to and strive towards trying to learn more about them as well as seek ability to roleplay as such. Whiteliested players can and often should be encouraged to assist new or less experienced players with their duties to encourage them towards further roleplay in harder situations. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Gary Metzger Character age: 67 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Born on Mars, as son of lawyer and geneticist Gary was taught to abide and bend the law from his youngest age, along he was given basic knowledge of human anatomy, processes behind human processes and development which sparked his interest within science, driving him to study as much as he could in his young years, swallowing knowledge given to him in a never ending hungering manner. Surprised teachers rewarded young Metzger with new learning materials, leading towards branching his interest in science , allowing his intellect to thrive and rapidly progress through classes, eventually allowing him to graduate into one of the most prestigious University on Mars. With his graduation and degree in science completed Gary was selected as one of the few to work for NanoTransen, starting low as Intern, helping in labs with experiments of all kinds, quickly finding a grip around the labs, learning the ropes and rules that existed within them and soon ending up using them to spark in front of his superiors, slowly mixing his unending hunger for knowledge with desire to progress the science further, giving himself a slow yet fruitful wave of promotions and awards for his accomplishments. Over the course of his life he spent most of his life in Labs belonging to NanoTransen, often working over their more advanced projects and experiments, helping secure and finalize them. It was in there where he met his wife, Olivia with whom they brought a daughter to this world, Martha. Similarly to her father Martha showed a great potential in the fields of Science, allowing the aging Scientist to combine his still exiting desires and goals with rising his child without anything interrupting him. What do you like about this character?: I always enjoyed the ability to handle most kinds of research while helping other scientists with their issues and problems, surrounding himself with aura of genius and sometimes a madman capable of creating miracles. I liked to roleplay as he advanced towards position of commissair of Scientific Progress from starting as a mere intern. What do you dislike about this character?: His impulsiveness in chaotic situations where any attempts from his side fail to grasp control and bring the reason and control over the matter at hand, sometimes resulting with physical violence and worst cases a bloodshed. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: On previous server, one that existed before Aurora I used to roleplay as Research Director relatively often as Gary, using his intellect and obsession over science as a means to help progress it as much as it was possible, often helping his fellow scientists in speeding up the process. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: Depends to the day and how stressed I am, sometimes I can prove to be good roleplayer and there are situations where I simply cannot muster the strength to focus on roleplay or anything serious due to multitude of reasons, being the life issues or family or something else. I aim to remain least toxic as possible, though I won't lie, sometimes it can happen where the grip over my own nerves slip, resulting with saltiness coming out of me, which in most situations can be...well simply unrethroical and I apologize if anything like this happens. Extra notes: Biography is more or less what I do remember I once wrote about Gary on previous server, with its forums gone I were unable to retrieve the old version of the document. In addition, some of the information are from previous server. I enjoyed to roleplay as Gary to point where I felt like it would be wrong not to continue to roleplay as him here. In addition I apologize for any kind of mistakes I made in the application, I am terrible when it comes to written work.
