AWPen

I arrive on station, late, the three officers say you left science with the items, hence it being contraband. We also got evidence as we was about to brig you that you kill someone using it somehow, as a dead body had stun revolver hits. As for the Azza thing, how would I know they shot her? I arrive, cultist over her with a sword, another making its way to obviously kill D'jar. I had all the right to kick them for killing a friend and going for another. How would I know she was shot? What your getting mad there is me not metagaming to know she was shot when she went down, I only saw a cultist over her with sword in hand. I called you 'twat' and 'nonce' after you refused to listen to about 5 people OOC including admins. I then stopped talking to you completely after you begun to insult me OOC and IC.

Also, the hatchet guy got it thrown at him because he spent 20 minutes in the bar pestering about 3 of us. I said to him multiple times Assim has no patience yet he refuses to leave. Assim is meant to be a easily angered character and over the top, once your his enemy your his enemy, but once your his friend he's loyal, but I'll try tone it down if you wish.

They where both uncuffed, both stunned however. I beat them because they killed a good friend, and tryed to murder another with SWORDS.

Note, I called you a twat once in OOC, before proceeding to ignore you as you arguing with all of security and admins. Note, You was arrested for contraband to which 3 officers backed me up on. Note, Not once did I beat you while you was detained, please provide proof. You cannot provide proof and are straight up slandering me because I uncovered the fact you was cult. I will happily provide a log if I have one.

BYOND key: AWPenheimer Character names: Wolfgang Kapp, Alexendra Kapp, Assim Zhan-Ka'tor'ro How long have you been playing on Aurora?: About a month, probably over now. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I wish to take control of a department and expand my RP abilities. Why did you come to Aurora?: For the exceptional RP and environment. Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Aye aye. 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 believe roleplay is when you can pretend to be someone or something else. It doesn't matter what it is or where it is, you can for a brief moment become a character and share that experience with your friends or strangers for enjoyment. You get to create something you could never be, such as Tajara and so on. It's becoming something else for your and others enjoyment. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: OOC, they should look after their departments, make sure newbies are trained correctly and give out advice to those who need it. They should run their department efficiently and make sure no one is breaking rules and laws. A big purpose is to command the department and teach new ones in the form of cadets and such, passing on their knowledge to the newbies. They command their departments, fill out paperwork and co-operate with the other heads and captain to have a productive shift. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Whitelisted players should uphold the rules and laws. It's their responsibility to make sure no one is messing up and that people are being taught correctly. They should be giving advice and passing on their knowledge of the game. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Assim Zhan-Ka'to'ro Character age: 32 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Assim is a thick furred and tall Zhan Tajara. His face is clearly worn from working hard all his life, but due to Human luxury he looks after himself. Assim was a true workhorse of the race. Originating from the Zhan-Khazan ethnic group he stands at a mighty 6"5 and is built incredibly strong from years of hard labour. He is fairly young for all he has experienced, 32. His fur is thick and a deep single color of brown apart from around his face which seem to become lighter. His eyes shine a dark yellow with black flecks embedded into them. His claws are quite sharp yet shorter then normal ,probably ground off from all the work he has done throughout his life. He is always smiling and laughing, a very funny and good to be around Tajara. Assim has a great hate towards the nobility races. He has worked hard all of his life for these Tajara and been pushed further down into poverty. When it comes to security he is incredibly level headed and likes to take a quiet approach to things. He doesn't escalate a situation unless it needs to be done and he try to defuse with words not guns. He's a natural leader as proven on Adhomai in the war, and he wishes to bring his skills to security. He would keep his officers in check and firm on punishments, but would tell them to patrol a area and let them get on with it, trying not to micromanage them. He trusts his officers but if you break that trust, he will come down hard and you will have to word hard to earn it back from him. Loyalty and respect is key and what he expects in a good officer. After he fled the horrific events on Adhomai he came to work for NT, he started off as a security officer after training hard, studying and doing everything in his power. Since he has became a seasoned officer he's been working hard on updating his knowledge, skill set and studying to applying for a vacant head of security position. It's almost like a dream come true, he wants to take control of the department he loves and use the salary to get his family away from Adhomai. What do you like about this character?: I love how he is clueless to some Human aspects and how he gets confused. He is always learning things. What do you dislike about this character?: I dislike how aggressive I play him sometimes, generally towards people who are racist or debates on the civil war, he is really defensive on it all and very loud spoken. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: He is a likeable, strong leader and a very experiened character and would lead the security team well. He has experience from watching other heads and wants to step up to the plate. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I like to think I'm fairly good, but I'm always learning and improving myself. Extra notes: Apologise for any discrepancies, wrote this quite late, some spelling mistakes etc etc

Yeah I'll totally tone him down from the murder stuff no problem. I just wanted it to be a reason for being eccentric. I'll rewrite it when I can and just keep the pimp part, coming from the years of mal maintenance EDIT Changed out that murder part as asked!

Fixed the head bit seeing as they cannot be done together.

He wasn't really rogue. He sort of drifted away when him and the others where no longer needed. And from many many years of not a lot of maintenance his mind and such began to fade and blur so to speak. So he never really became rogue but when the thousands of models became no longer needed he simple just drifted away. As said his strange personallity isn't from being rogue but from his past life and mind slipping through years of unfixed errors and codes. But I respect your criticism, thanks for the tips, I'll try create more memorable characters.

I apologise for any typing errors I did the head section on my phone.

I'll fix it as soon as possible

BYOND Key: AWPenheimer Character Names:Wolfgang Kapp, Alexandra Kapp, Assim Zhan-Ka'tor'ro Species you are applying to play: IPC. What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): N/A IPC Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Indeed I have. 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 wish to play IPC's due to the way some of them behave and act. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:Well for one they don't always act like humans due to the fact they are designed for specific purposes. Character Name: Saul Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs A long time ago. Saul was a simple criminal, selling all manner of drugs and narcotics to get by in his daily life, not to the mention the occasional murder. Okay so maybe he killed quite a few people but does that matter? It only slightly shows through now he is a unbound model. Kinda... Okay it shows a lot. He took no notice of the news, on how many laws could now be punished by removal of the brain and integration with a IPC. He had no idea what was to happen to him. One day, a day like most others. He was caught with enough illegal material on him to be arrested. He tried to bribe off the officers like he normally did but instead he got a cold reply, 'We have to crack down Saul, I'm sorry'. He had no idea what was to happen. He spent a year in a prison on sol before he was taken away to the brand new mars colonies. Due to the lack of workers prisoners where being integrated with IPCs, and he was one of them. They tore him brain from him and integrated him into a basic designed line model, he would not stay this way forever but that was how he is now. He spent many gruelling gears, unable to control his own thoughts slaving away for his bosses, building, creating and doing whatever. Eventually news spread that all the current IPCs where to be released, he knew that meant he would be shut down, probably for good. Even bound he was a eccentric one, speaking in a strong British accent making all sort of strange remarks. However, he had a plan. He had heard of a new place being built, a sanctuary, a place where synthetics could live in peace... unbound. He following the rumours, the quest to find 'Purpose'. After many years of searching he found it. He was free'd and helped pioneer the station into construction. He was placed into a new design model, a bespoke one he customised himself. He lived many years here. His modifications gave him a rusty look, being engraved with gold patterns of all sorts. He has a molecule mounted to his face and he holds a long black cane and walks with a ridiculous bounce in his step. Almost comparable to a pimp, he's very eccentric and could be compared to a pimp. However, he has a heart of gold and always try to do the best for everyone, he's funny and lovable. He's always joking about and doing his best to get a good vibe going in the crew, even if he can't understand or feel it. After many years he thought he could do something more to make his mark, and this is where he can be found today, working the science department, as a scientist on board the station. What do you like about this character? I like is over the top eccentric nature. It seems really fun to play. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I like to think I can role play quite well and fit in effectively with the other players. Notes: If I need to add anything in particular or this will suffice please do say. Any fixs needed do say.

I realised that after I posted it. All fine now.

The first bullets I took where because I was typing hoping to avoid anyone dying. Yes I took a few bullet's before I moved to cover but due to the fact I had no ammo I just hopelessay yelled chill. I took a few bullets while in cover. I didn't mean to make it come out that way but I was mid typing and just yelling chill so I could say what I was going to say

At first I tryed to resolve it peacefully. I joined it got hit a couple times before I ran out of ammo. At this point I was typing something and about to take cover behind the glass when I was sprayed down. With no ammo and no weapons it was more of a shellshocked on the floor about to bleed out 'chill'. However the reason I didn't react quick was because I was typing. However I got to cover after that and passed out.

+1, good Tajara player, know this from a long experience with him. Will make a good edition.

BYOND Key: AWPenheimer Staff BYOND Key: Alberyk Reason for complaint: I wish to complain about the warnings I received via ahelp. Evidence/logs/etc: Cut down version. Additional remarks: I want to explain it from my point. I heard of the situation at cargo to which I responded. Normally merc is a bloodfest but I wanted to try RP and barter the hostages our way. Woodrow(Chaznoodles) Comes in, aims his pistol and the reflex function fires for him, a fire fight kicks off to which I take cover and tell everyone to chill out. There is a mid firefight pause to which I try to calm the situation so no one dies. It kicks off again and I join in. We all run out of ammo as you can see the submachine gun mag drop to the floor. I see this as a opportunity to stop the firefight peacefully, I'm out of ammo so I tryed to calm it again to which I get sprayed down by a submachinegun mid typing, I try to get to cover and due to me being useless and out of ammo,calm the situation. I pass out and leave frustrated. I apologise for not valuing my life but I don't believe I should have received a warning for trying to RP the situation, and trying to get to cover anyway. If you wish anything else to be explained from my perspective just ask.

It's all been fixed now I hope!

I shall take a look at the lore again now and make the required adjustments he's not really a master of all, just his upbringing gives him basic engineering knowledge like how to weld and such, while his basic medical knowledge is just basic first aid, bandaging and cpr etc etc Thanks for the advice.

BYOND Key: AWPenheimer Character Names: Wolfgang Kapp Species you are applying to play:Tajara. What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): A light white. 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've always been a big fan of Tajara and very much enjoyed how they played. I've played them many times throughout my years playing SS13 and wish to play one here as I believe that is where I reach and use my full skill RP'ing. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: For one, how the speak and behave. They refer to themselves in the third person and roll their 'r's. Over a certain age the also are very submissive due to the slave master occupation, meaning they will obey the heads of staff and most other humans unless it's conflicting with morals. Character Name: Assim Zhan-Ka'tar'ro Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Assim was a true workhorse of the race. Originating from the Zhan-Khazan ethnic group he stands at a mighty 6"5 and is built incredibly strong from years of hard labour. He is fairly young for all he has experienced, 32. His fur is thick and a deep single color of brown apart from around his face which seem to become lighter. His eyes shine a dark yellow with black flecks embedded into them. His claws are quite sharp yet shorter then normal ,probably ground off from all the work he has done throughout his life. He is always smiling and laughing, a very funny and good to be around Tajara. Assim has a great hate towards the nobility races. He has worked hard all of his life for these Tajara and been pushed further down into poverty. He would do anything to get back to them, he has a great hate towards any nobility of the Tajara race. When the civil war broke out, he cheered with joy, finally he would have his chance to fight! He joined the Liberation army as soon as he could, being a fore runner in forming it. He became respected within his unit as being furious and brave. He fought long and hard for his people and his cause, wanting to be free. However, in his area the Liberation army began to lose. They began to get beat and hard. Lots of young Tajara was lost and this is where Assim saw the true horrors of war. His unit was left for dead by his commanders, and he fled. He ran and never looked back. He boarded a boat to the northen parts of the New kingdom to begin his new life away from it all. This is where he heard of Nanotraesen, and saw a true escape chance, away from the horrors of Adhomai. After months of gruelling and shady work in the New kingdoms in the north, he had enough money. He brought himself a nice set of clothing, got himself a job as a security officer, the only thing he knew how to do. He had made it. He was going to earn a better life for his family. His military experience made him a fine security officer with a tiny bit of medical skill. What do you like about this character? The way he looks and plays. He's tall, strong, imposing yet he is a big fur ball. He's cuddly and really friendly to anyone and everyone. I also like the lore of the Tajara race and the civil war seems like it will make a character very opinionated and fun to play. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I like to rate myself highly, but Tajara is where I excel with most play time, and what I enjoy the most. Notes: Hope you enjoyed the story, can always write more If you haven't heard of me it's because I don't play American times.
