BYOND key: Tr1angl3WalkZ Character names: Joseph Smithers, Edward Soferwatch. How long have you been playing on Aurora?: For a few months off and on. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I wish to be on the whitelist, because I know that I have the skills and proper knowledge to play a Head role, I also really enjoy playing these roles, because I find them very interesting and fun to play, in some occasions due to the harder difficulty. Why did you come to Aurora?: I came to Aurora, because I was looking for a populated and a high quality roleplay SS13 server, as soon as I began playing on the server, I realized it was exactly what I was looking for. Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Yes, I have. 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: In my opinion, Roleplay is much like acting, it is playing a role and a character as if it was real life, you properly roelplay every situation, respond to your surroundings and react to others around you. In Roleplay, you are to interact with others in passive rp as well as many other kinds of RP, passive RP is usually doing basic things, for example smoking or writing something on a piece of paper, such as a document of sorts. In Roleplay, you are also expected to properly respond to getting injured and experiencing fear, PainRP is what refers to roleplaying your injuries, for example, you get hit with a shard flying at a very high speed, you are expected to properly roleplay it and react to it as you would in real life, because just walking off as if nothing had happened is either powergame or FailRP. FearRP refers to roleplaying your fears, for example you see someone pointing a gun at you, in such a situation, you are required to display fear and not just run past or straight at the person with a gun as it would not make sense in a real life situation, as even police officers act carefully and show fear when facing an armed suspect. Metagaming and powergaming is also bad when it comes to RP, you should never metagame or powergame when roleplaying, example for metagaming would be talking on a VOIP program with your friend and he telling you his location because he is being attacked, if you went to him to help, that'd be metagaming. Powergaming is doing actions that a real human would not be able to do, as well as not letting your RP partnet decide their actions, for example "X would punch the man, this instantly knocks him out.", the proper way for that would be "X attempts to punch the man". Roleplay should not be about pure action and proving yourself to be the best, rather Roleplay should be about playing a role in a big world, interacting with others and such. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is to oversee their specific department, they are to encourage proper roleplay and help anyone who needs information or help regarding their job within the head's department. Their purpose is to act as sort of a helping hand, helping learn their role in the department that they are a Head, people need to be taught how to play their roles, so that they don't feel unwelcome in the departments and in the server as a whole. A Head is also supposed to oversee his department to ensure that people do everything correctly to prevent them from breaking the rules. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: The responsibilities are knowing the department you are playing very well and being up to date with any changes, I'd do this by following the wikipedia and keeping up with the change logs, so that I know if there are any updates that I should know about. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Karl Brjolnif Character age: 34 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Karl was born on Mars in Olympia, his father Gruven was a police officer in the city, a rather corrupt one at that, but Karl's mother worked as a pharmaceutical researcher at Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals. Karl was the only child in his family, they lived in a small apartment in Olympia, where he was born. Karl attended school in the city and was a rather good student, he enjoyed learning but did not like attending it as much, he preffered to sleep at home, but he still went to school and did his homework. Karl was quite a smart child even though he rarely showed that. When Karl was 15, his father, Gruven, was dealing with some criminals when they got aggitated at him and then opened fire, Gruven dove for cover and returned fire at the gangsters, but as he was hiding in cover, requesting for backup, a criminal shot him with a shotgun and left him for dead, Gruven was rushed to the hospital, but died later that night. Karl was destroyed by this, he closed down and didn't talk to anyone for weeks, but eventually, he had to forget about it if he was to move on with his life. One night, when Karl was 16, he snuck out of the apartment to go see what is outside the city, they got their gear and left to take a walk outside, it was going alright until a sudden storm hit, his friend died due to trauma from the storm, Karl lost an arm, but he managed to get back into the city, he tried to find help but passed out due to shock on the street, when he awoke, he was at a hospital, he soon realized his right arm had been replaced with a cybernetic one, it took time for him to get used to the arm, but the hardest part was his friends that had died that night, he again did not talk to anyone and sat in his room, silent, contemplating that night, he always thought it was his fault. Once Karl finished school and turned 18, he knew that he wanted to associate his life with talking with other people and he knew that he didn't want anything to do with combat or being a police officer due to the tragic things that happened to his father. Karl enrolled in a university and began studying Human Resources, he studied and got a bachelors afterwards moving on to get a masters degree in Human Resources, after he was done studying, his mother helped him find a job within Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals, Karl began working as an assistant to the HR in the company, he worked there for ten years until his mother died from cancer, this left him in shock and he was unable to continue work, Karl stopped working for a year and then moved out of Mars to live on Orbital stations as well as work there. What do you like about this character?: When he is working, he is devoted and does everything properly. What do you dislike about this character?: Does not like violence and gore in general, he is silent a lot. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: He has the proper knowledge and education to be a head of staff, he is also very devoted when working. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I'd rate my roleplay at around eight point five to nine point five.

BYOND key: Tr1angl3WalkZ Character names: Joseph Smithers, Edward Soferwatch How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Few days Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: Because I know that I can play the roles properly and I have been playing SS13 for very long Why did you come to Aurora?: Because I wanted to play on a server that has proper roleplay. Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Yes, I have. 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: I think that roleplay is playing a character and acting properly like in real life, that includes pain rp and stuff like that, I think that rp should be about having fun and doing something new, like a living a new life, everyone should try to rp to the best of their abilities and if they don't succeed, they should ask someone how to do something, roleplay is all about interacting with other people and it does not require that you have items to roleplay, I think that roleplay should be about in game things only and nothing OOC should be refrenced IC. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is to ensure that people in their departments know what they are doing, it is also their duty to make sure that everyone within their department doesn't do anything that is rule breaking, a head of staff should always teach a person about the specific department if he is lost or doesn't know what to do, a head of staff should also encourage more rp and socializing between the people in his department. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: The responsibilities of a whitelisted player are quite a few and they are not always easy, I think that whitelisted players responsibility is to know about the department they are in and make sure that they don't make too many mistakes but instead act as a person from which other people could learn from and look up to. I think that a whitelisted player should always be checking up on any news about their department if there are any. I would check the wiki and make sure that I am up to date with whatever new is happening within the department and I would help new players learn about my department.

Shaun got to the dock and they were all instructed about what exactly it is that they will be doing and then they were taken up to the station to begin their internships, Shaun really liked working at the station and he did very hard to prove that he was good enough to be a full time worked aboard the space station.
