Cargo Technician

Cargo Technician (4/37)

  1. I +1 this application. The outfit looks really cool and does seem the fit the aesthetic they are going for.
  2. After reading through the interview, I am still fully support Resilynn going to trial. I feel they handled the situations really well and I would like to see how they are during trial. Full +1 from me still.
  3. I have been prone to some salt in the past when I've gotten invested in the round, but I haven't ICly demoted anyone in weeks, and I've gotten into the LOOC habit of providing links to wikis and advice if anything comes up. (Just yesterday, I trained a resident who asked for some virology training and gave them the wiki over looc). So, in short, I think I've improved on this. I am willing to support this application on the sole point that one can never truly know how someone does on the moderation staff until they go through their trial. +1 from me.
  4. I will start my feedback by saying that I love Resilynn to death, BUT I do have a couple of concerns regarding whether or not you they would make good staff. The first concern is they can get a little pushy and sometimes unforgiving when it comes to Medical players. There have been a couple of instances of LOOC harshness, not entirely harassment but it has gone too far a couple of times. Now if these worries can be put to rest then they would have my support for a trial.
  5. [mention]TheGuyThatIsAFK[/mention] Alright no worries. All in all, I'm for a +1 on this one. You seem like a decent enough person and I'd like to see how you are through a trial.
  6. [mention]TheGuyThatIsAFK[/mention] After reading through the interview answers I feel a couple of them could be handled a bit better but moreso regarding gow lenient you were with punishments. Which necessarily isn’t a bad thing, but I gotta at least ask why you were so lenient on a couple of them?
  7. Alright. For the first question. Life on the planet. There would be your usual plant life, trees, flowers, a few fruits, but the heavy storms made it more difficult for animals to live safely so only smaller bugs have been able to survive successfully. For the Scientist knowing what the Gestalt was, yes. They had a general idea of what a Dionaea was which is why the Scientist was willing to approach the creature, albeit cautiously. The Gestalt itself thought of the crew as strange organics, but given their sparking spacecraft they were more willing to learn about the crew. The initial interactions were a bit slow, but as the days went on, the crew began to appreciate the Gestalt's company and even showed the Gestalt how the electricity that it saw sparking off of the ship powered the ship and gave it "life". For the Dionaea's general education for how to properly act, the Scientist went through a few basics so the Gestalt could act a bit more properly around other sapient life, such as not eating sapient creatures and not taking DNA samples without their permission. The Gestalt was merged for around 40 years before the crew arrived, then spending the next 18 years getting a proper education as as citizen of the Republic of Biesel, finishing their education at the prestigious Hongsun Park Engineering Institute specializing in Tesla Engines before finally being employed by NanoTrasen.
  8. [mention]Neinbox[/mention] Thank you for replyint to my Application. I will make sure to get all your questions answered after work. I was mostly unsure how specific I needed to be and how much information to actually add but will make sure to get everything cleared up after I finish work and get home.
  9. Always enjoyed rping with him and his character Lynsey Feufer. +1 here from me as well.
  10. Made a small amount of changes, noting the crew's employer and a better reason for taking the Dionaea with them.
  11. Well for the Diona becoming an Engineer, that would be due to it’s fascination with electricity thanks to the storms on the planet. And as for why the scientist was there was to study storms and life that has survived on the planet. I just realized I forgot to add that into the backstory and apologize.
  12. BYOND Key: Jpowell59 Character Names: Samantha Ackerley, Lynsey Bailey, Corey Sulyard, Donavan Kirkson, Brenna Bailey, Elena Rowley, Allen Black, Garris Zimmer, Evangeline Demuth, Luna riker. Species you are applying to play: Dionaea What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes. 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 have always really enjoyed the Dionaea as a species. Their analytical nature, being comprised of multiple beings to form a gestalt. They are just so fundamentally different from the other races and that's what makes them something I would love to learn more about personally. They also play completely different than your average human which can really make for some fun and exciting moments in-game. I've always strangely really enjoyed plant species in games as that is something so very different from your more animal-like creatures that normally inhabit worlds. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Unlike humans, Dionaea move slower, speak slower, and generally act a bit more slowly than humans, but that in of itself does not make them a less intelligent creature. Playing a Dionaea would involve taking your time with everything on top of emotions not really playing a key factor in their choices. Dionaea are usually driven by a desire to learn or pursuing an area that has drawn their fascination. One more important thing to note is that a Diona Gestalt is made up of multiple little nymphs each performing a task to keep the 'body' running smoothly but they all each still have their own desires but have morphed together to follow a common desire they have. Character Name: A Flash of Light Brings Fleeting Life Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs On a planet in the outer rim worlds, there was a planet that was ravaged by fierce thunder storms for most of it's year. Skittering about were many Dionaea Nymphs, normally dormant throughout the night, but doing the storms they would sit and watch the thunder and lightning in fascination. With each flash, they felt themselves being reinvigorated, their need to conserve energy growing less needed. As time went on, the Nymphs would learn more and more about the thunder, able to predict when it would strike next or when a really big storm was forming. The sound of chirping Dionaea would fill the air during the really big storms as all the nymphs sang their joyous songs of wonder. Eventually a few of these groups would form together to form Dionaea Gestalts to better enjoy their life amid the flashes of energetic light. As time went on and the years past, the Dionaea continued living their simple lives, observing the storms and migrating to follow them throughout their seasons. One day, a ship would arrive on the planet, damaged by the storms and needing to land for repairs. One gestalt in particular watched as the ship came down, this one more curious than the others. They would watch silently as the strange creatures performed their repairs, they later learned that they were called "Humans". They found themselves fascinated by the sparking vessel as it reminded them of all the storms but in a smaller and condensed variety. The Gestalt would eventually find themselves found out by the Vessels crew, which was a shock as few of them were used to the strange plant-like creatures, but one brave Scientist walked towards the creature and offered his hand. The gestalt would slowly analyze the extended appendage before hovering one of it's nymph "hands" close by for the Nymph to take a small sample of DNA from the creature. The nymph would spread it's knowledge with the rest of it's form as it grew a better understanding of the creature in front of it. The gestalt would keep the crew company for their remaining days on the planet as they finished their repairs, serving as an early warning for when a storm was approaching as well as learning from each other. Upon finishing the repairs, the crew would offer the Dionaea a place within their ship and offering them a chance to learn more about the rest of the Universe, in exchange for allowing the crew to better study the creature and learn more about the planet. The Gestalt would nod it's "head", a notion it learned from watching the humans interact with each other, as it boarded the ship to pursue it's fascination for energy and move on to become a Tesla Engineer for the company of NanoTrasen, which the Dionaea later learned were employers for the crew. What do you like about this character? I really like this character because it's something a bit different that I see in Dionaea. The joke is usually make them a Supermatter engineer due to them living off of the radiation emitting off of the engine, this Dionaea however has a different fascination due to it's home planet. The Tesla has recently become one of my favorite engines and I know I can make some wonderful moments involving the Tesla and crew. How would you rate your role-playing ability?Around a 7/10. I have a hard time rating something such as this and feel others could rate it better than I can. Notes:
  13. I +1 this if not for balance sake but for role play sake. I don’t know if a thirst option would be something to add as well but I would support that as an addition to this
  14. Well as someone who used to main an engineer for a Supermatter Engine on a different station I could probably throw in an idea we had. Phoron makes the best coolant but is also very hard to cool down once it heats up making it very dangerous in the case of too much Oxygen build up. So an idea might just be random filter malfunctions that doesn’t cause them to pull out the glasses as they slowly build up. It’ll keep the engineers working on the engine and give them a bit more to do than just set it up then forget about it
  15. I like the answers during the interview. Sounds like someone who would make a decent Moderator. Not staff but I feel I should at least put in my two cents.
