BYOND key: SirCatnip
Character names: Dylan Wright
How long have you been playing on Aurora?: About 104 days, I believe.
Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I've had a lot of people tell my I should go for Head of Staff, and I've served as interim HoS a lot of times and it's gone quite well.
Why did you come to Aurora?: I was searching for a heavy RP server, after looking through a bunch I ended up staying here because of the great staff, good characters and good community.
Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Yes.
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: Being a character rather than yourself (or sometimes based off of yourself), and realistically depicting said character and what they would do in situations that arise. Everyone RPs differently, and that's kinda what makes it great, no two rounds are the same.
What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: To keep order in the department, communicate with other heads of staff to coordinate the station better. Also to be somewhat of an example for your department, and make the job easier and more coordinated for staff of the department, whilst helping new players out with some of the more advanced stuff if possible.
What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: I guess whitelisted players are somewhat of an example, follow rules to good standard, RP well, active, should be willing to provide help to new players. I like to think I do all of that already, so not much would change in this matter despite having more tools to help cadets or new officers learn the job.
Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions.
Character name: Dylan Wright
Character age: 30
Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Wright had a pretty average upbringing, suffered with depression from a pretty young age, his life wasn't really going anywhere at the age of about 16, so he decided to actually try to do something useful, and started training to join the military, by his 17th birthday he had met the qualifications and left his home a few days after. He served in the Pacific Union armed forces for three years, achieved the rank of Lance Corporal, before transferring to special forces. After four years there, he was honourably discharged with some pretty major wounds, and a missing left arm.
The next month was a pretty shit time for him, he wasn't able to do much due to only having one arm, and was stuck in his apartment that he bought after being discharged, he had nothing without a job to do, and his heart was starting to fail, Nanotrasen gave him an out, when he joined up his heart was replaced with a mechanical heart, and his arm replaced with a prosthetic. He started work as a Security officer a week later, at age 25, five years ago.
What do you like about this character?: Being my current only character, I've put a lot of work into the character, I'm pretty happy with it all things considered.
What do you dislike about this character?: Military backstory is a bit generic, but I think I atleast do it alright, I try not to bring it up unless it comes up unlike some.
What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: He's experienced with leading a team, and has already served as interim a fair few times.
Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions.
How would you rate your own roleplaying?: 7/10 maybe? The character is somewhat introverted, so it takes some talking before you can find out some of the 'hidden' stuff, but in general I think my RP is sufficient.
Extra notes: Free bread tubes for Security!
