"Mouseako Mouseojiro's face cringes up slightly".Mouseako Mouseojiro
really.
anyway, i support this idea, as i thought it was already a thing, and it should be because of RP or something.
-
I can't give this a +1 due to the fact this application is severely lacking, but I won't give it a -1 since I've seen this character and have had positive interactions with him, so my suggestion before I give a final vote is to brush up this application further, get a name for you planet, write a bit more too it. Remember most of these actions request an approximate to a paragraph and you haven't delivered.
i've worked on it, thanks for the tip.

BYOND key: Icy_dew
Character names: Simon Greene, Nathan Beckett, Edward Fleming
How long have you been playing on Aurora?:247 days
Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: To have more opportunies to role play, and to help other in my department learn and guide them.
Why did you come to Aurora?: I was drifting from server to server, leaving after 1/2 or 1 round, because there was just not any good RP. Then i found this server, and i've played no other since.
Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: yup.
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: Roleplaying is about being someone you're not, and having fun pretending, like trying to figure out something in character that you know IRL, which makes for fun experiences IC and OOC. It's also about doing the things you like if you can not really do them. Pretend to be something you would like to be, but can't, like having fun pretending you're working with other dimensional slime in a space station. Act like you are really the person you are playing as. Immerse yourself and enjoy seeing how the choices you make affects others.
What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: To teach and help others in your department, guide them, and making sure that there is not so much chaos in your department. Being a real leader basically. I can't really come up with alot, as what i said earlier also applies to IC.
What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: To be someone who is like a mentor, as stated in the previous question. You have to be someone respectable, and responsible, who knows what they're doing and not just goofing around doing whatever.
Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions.
Character name:Simon Greene
Character age:35
Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Simon Greene led a pretty normal life for upper middle class humans on ocean planet 4546B. It was a beautiful planet with many types of interesting flora and fauna. He lived on an island, which was a little like the rich neighbourhoods. Seeing as there aren't alot of people on the planet, there was not spacing issue. Ever since he was young he did well at school, and other times he was either searching for beautiful places, or just doing something else fun. He was the best at biology and math. he loved those topics too. All his life he was a nice person, even though many people he knew were always being bullies or hateful, just really unpleasant to be around, he decided that doing something to them would just make him at the same level as them. It angered him though. Sometimes he just had to do something against it himself. He saw a solution, helping others. That way he could release his anger by doing something he liked. Those are the reasons he decided he wanted to become a doctor. He and some friends all went to the same schools, but chose different majors at university. They still saw each other alot, which led to them all beginning work on the same station.
At age 19 he went to Dune University. When he was 23 he moved to Luna. He traveled to many interesting places in the galaxy, partially in hopes of finding somewhere he wanted to stay and work, but also to learn about everything around him. He was in a lot of fun, sad, exciting or even horrifying adventures, some a little extravagant, like an outbreak at a slime research facility or something else you'd see in a movie. Yet whatever happened, he never gave up. a year later he began to work on the NSS Exodus. He liked working there, as he met alot of people and learned many things just from working there, like the best way to save someone from slimes.
What do you like about this character?: He knows alot and is nice in general (most often), a good mentor. he might have some bad characteristics, but that won't stop him from actually helping people, even if he's not too nice to everyone he ever met. He has his own little inner circle with people i enjoy playing with.
What do you dislike about this character?: He sometimes acts a little inconsiderate, most likely because of his history with other people. He does not really connect well with alot of people, so he acts like alot of big issues are not really important for others, while being very caring for those he cares about. This also comes from the fact that he has met ALOT of people, so he just can't be bothered to getting to know everyone and such. This creates some situation where it may look like he does not care about patients.
What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: they're good at what they do, teach people well and try to let people not give up in dire situations, because he thinks giving up is the last thing someone should ever do. If you ask many people about him, they'd say he's a good doctor and leader.
Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions.
How would you rate your own roleplaying?: 6.5/10, i can RP pretty good, i interact well with the environment, using emotes and other types of reactions to really breathe life into what i do, but i could learn to limit my characters' knowledge a little. I could also try and expand more on my characters.
Extra notes: 10 points for whoever gets the reference.

(...) have patients recover longer from surgery (...)
How would you like to accomplish that, from the code perspective? By making anesthetics and sleep-toxin work longer?
i'm not really good with code (yet), but i think it would be better if the anethetic tanks would make you sleep longer, but if it's possible, maybe somehow you sleep longer because of incisions or something?

Medbay has a patient ward, but it is used very rarely, because people just awake right after a surgery and shit. if we'd have patients recover longer from surgery, we'd have a use for the medical ward, and it makes people even less likely to just do whatever they want, because they can get fixed at medbay real quick.

Farthermore, i think it really detracts from RP. You don't interact with people you can't see, and my experience of the net effect of that is that the whole game experience is less social, and more confusing and isolating.
while it is true that it'd make interacting confusing, it certainly won't detract from RP. because i think RP is better if it is realistic. seeing like you're in the fourth dimension or something is not really fitting for HIGH RP.
i think we can find a good midway, with certain things you do sense behind you, like when IRL you sense someone behind you.
i have been thinking about this topic for a while too. same with the flashlights. add directional lighting pl0x.

this would make for some fun RP, but how complicated would it be to be one?

fedoras.

this is a small thing to add, but it would be a fun thing to have.
you know how when you examine a paper or a cultist talisman, you get a picture of the thing on your screen?
what if that would happen when you examine an ID? with a picture and name and stuff?

I'd probably fax CC, tell my department to be careful of a possible danger, and investigate a little. Of course it depends on the specifics of what went down, like if the crew were to riot only because the captain acts a LITTLE weird, i'd not really notice anything suspicious until they'd randomly die. If shit REALLY hits the fan, i'd call the shuttle.
