Lonely Caravan

Simon is someone I enjoy RPing with a lot. I have met some of his characters, and I have absolutely no doubt he'd be a good IPC. +1 from me.

I've played with Shadow for a while now, and I think that they're fully capable of a command position. +1.

Geeves is a great roleplayer. I've interacted with him a lot, and I love every single character i've talked with so far. By that, I have no doubt he can roleplay a vaurca very well. +1 from me, especially because of that spoiler.

I think it'd be fun to have something like that. It really opens up a lot of cool antag gimmicks. Though, I do agree with the whitelist option. I'd rather not have a baldie literal kid running around breaking shit, which is even worse than bald adults doing the same.

I love the idea. Just one thing that I think would be kinda fun with the freeze ray, 1% chance that if you hit the frozen person, they can break a limb off. Just a suggestion, +1 in overall.

Ignored my hi's on both OOC and LOOC several times. Take him down tbh.

Hello, I was Whiskey, the heister that was negotiating. Nothing that fresh said was wrong. I did say on comms, and made myself pretty clear, by using bold text that if someone was seen EVA, the hostage, ReadThisNamePlz, or Kie'ra Nejem, would die. As soon as the deal was planned, I was moving towards the airlock with Nejem in a bubble, about to head out, I start to hear glass breaking. When I look at the cockpit, I see three officers, of which two were in hazard suits , breaking into the ship. I quickly grab Nejem by the neck, and move out, being hopeful that they would not open fire, and cease trying to break in. Though, it was the opposite. They opened fire, in which 90% of the shots landing on Nejem. She fell over, gasping, and about to die. They kept on trying to break it, wordlessly. They only began to talk when we were heavily wounded, locked inside the storage area of the ship. They did not seem to care that the hostage had died at all, although i had lost some of the conversation, due to an EMP grenade going off. After managing to break through a wall, by shooting it off, they executed us on the scene. This was my side of things.

Karime shakes her head. "Just passed by, to kill some time, and uh, maybe even socialize a little." She giggles to herself. "But anyways, she will go ahead and get dinner, so she has to go. Good luck with the marriage!"

She nods softly, sighing. "At least she left all of that behind... But... Enough of bad vibes, yes? So uhm... Got married? That's good, congratulations!" Karime smiles warmly, holding her hands together.

Karime frowns softly, and then says, "Well, they've been... Stressful, lately. Her and her father have been arguing. He's ah... A... She forgot the word... Patriot? More or less. He is in the army, so it's probably one of the main reasons he's like that. He... Is starting to give her gifts, and then tell her to come back to Adhomai, work there again. She doesn't want to, because it's... Well, because of the war. She worked there as a Paramedic for.. Years, and doesn't want to come back. But her father keeps begging for her to do. They argued last night because of it.." She looks down.

She grins softly, and then asks, fiddling with something on her wrist. "So uhm.. How are things?"

Karime smiles, then asks, "Soo... She's not really good at socializing and... It's weird, for some reason, to talk like this. She's not very used to talking to people outside work, and not talking about work related things." She smiles again, but in a rather awkward way.

Karime lets out a soft sigh of relief, and turns on her video feed. You can see her in what seems to be a long sleeved, but seems to be made of a very thin material. It has many cartoon cats on it. Behind her, a rather simplistic room, with a bed on her left side, with a pink bedsheet, and white pillows. You can see a caduceus above the bed. She says, "Ah, good! She thought she was talking to herself for a moment. So uhm, she's not really good at... Well, doing this kind of thing, so bear with her a little, okay?"

Karime Ikram connects, video feed off, and types on the chat, "Hello. Anyone online?"

BYOND key:Riqpley_Dagasd Character names: How long have you been playing on Aurora?:I'd say about 2 years now, since 2016. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: Valids I've been wanting to apply for command whitelist for a long time, for several reasons. The first one is that I see a lot of new people nowadays playing very differencial roles, that seem to have problems, like IC questions, etc. I will go further into this on the other questions, but I want to help these people that come here and want to learn. The second main reason is that before, like a year ago or so, I used to be a very shitty validhunter, and powergamer, but throughout the year, I've been getting a lot of compliments, and support on my applications, and I think I'm ready enough to take this responsibility of having such important role on the Aurora. Why did you come to Aurora?: I've come here because of the RP quality, something that was very rare on the Colonial Marines server at the time. Since then, I never left. Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: I did. 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: For me, Roleplay is to create a character according to the universe given to you, and to think, act, and feel like you're that character, feel the immersion given by it. Roleplay is to interact with other characters, and see how they go along. I think that a very important factor of it is to make your character realistic, avoiding points that are too impossible for them to happen in real life. This is what gives roleplay feel so alive, and so graceful. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The purpose of a head of staff OOCly is to be able to both deal with In Game issues, and help people in OOC need, such as new players, and those that are not new, but do not know something. It's also their duty to make sure all of the players are fine, and should also deal with issues, ICly. The job of a Head of Staff OOCly is also be able to kill doubts that some people have, in regards to what is right, and to be able to learn, and at the same time, teach. 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 whitelisted players are to be able to lead in hard situations, and to be able to keep the realism alive, by avoiding metagaming, powergaming, etc. The responsibility to keep your characters realistic, and to not have an OOC bias that would lead you to make wrong choices in situations ICly. I think that those are the most important aspects required for a whitelisted player. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name:Delta MkIV Character age:4 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): The Delta unit in question, number 671, is a model made from the MkIV series from The Experiencers. They are able to coordinate small teams, and, like all Delta units, are made specifically for surgery, and diagnosis. They were also given a very basic virological knowledge, to be able to deal with small outbreaks, if needed. [ACCESSING LOG #001, 2457-05-11] Unit 671 was firstly bought by NanoTrasen in 2452, and assigned firstly to the NSS Canes Venatici, which there it worked for it's whole lifetime as a general surgeon, 3 years in total. In 2460, they were transferred to the NSS Aurora, due to lack of help required. What do you like about this character?: I like that the Delta MkIV units were meant to be able to both work, and be a pleasant person on the enviroment. They will always socialize, and attempt to make their surroundings positive. What do you dislike about this character?: What I dislike about Delta units are that they are not capable of wounding crew in any way, unless they are in immediate danger. They will always opt for non-harmful solutions, and tools that will not damage the suspect permanently. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: I think that they are fit to be a head of staff because this is what, in my mind, would be a helpful head of staff. Someone that is pleasant to talk to, has at least basic knowledge of relevant areas, and someone that is able to take harsh decisions, hence why an IPC. They are completely loyal to NanoTrasen, and would not do any actions that could potentially be harmful to NanoTrasen assets, or operations. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I will not lie. I think I still have a lot to improve, but I think I'm getting there. I think that, if I had to rate my roleplay, I would rate from 6 to 8. Extra notes: I understand if my application is denied because of things that I have done in the past. Though, I want to make sure I make myself clear. I am not the person from before. About a year and a half ago, I was simply a griefer, thirsty for validhunting, and metagaming. I think I have changed, seeing by the support I am getting from others. It is the main reason I am doing this application. Without support, this would not have happened.

Tbear is a good roleplayer. I've been interacting with his characters quite a while, now, and I think he's good enough to play another filthy xeno species. +1

Pwner is a good player, I roleplayed a lot with him, and seen several people talk about the same in relation to other characters that I didn't have the chance to roleplay with. I'm convinced that he's good enough to play as a Diona. +1

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'm trying my best.

Thanks for the feedback, and I'm really trying to improve on all of this validhunting, and stuff, it's good to see that I'm making progress. When I first read this post, I thought: "Who knew, from a snowflake, validhunty shitsec, to an almost pacifist Dionae." But again, thank you for the reply.

It's true that this is going to be a problem. Imagine having the ammount of greytiders that we have on the security team daily, or people that don't know the rules properly, get free acess to a lethal weapon. I think that there should be, like Trazz said, kind of an authentication device on the HoS, Warden, and Captain's office that allows some hybrid gun that security should have, that's like an e-pistol (maybe the one you posted earlier, with a buff of 8 shots?) that has the lethal mode locked away until needed. It would also be nice that, on code red, this lock would automatically be lifted. On code blue, one device would need to be activated, and on code green, two (though it would suck when it's either deadhour, or a skeleton crew.)

Hewwo, [mention]Elohi Adanvdo[/mention]. huehue. As you can see, you didn't follow the formatting for the following questions. Why do you wish to play this specific race? Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human? What do you like about this character? How would you rate your role-playing ability? Yeah, sorry, I'll improve it now. Thanks! Shoot 'em. With the way of how the last sentence is stated, it sounds as if abnormalities were discovered. If there were can you please describe what they were, and if not, possibly reword it so readers are not mistaken? Yeah, I'll fix that, thanks for pointing it out. This bit's a little iffy, but not terribly important. In reality, it would take time for Dionae to amass enough food to get them to be large enough for a merge- and I should probably update the wiki to reflect it as I didn't realize that detail was going to be needed. In game, mechanics are sped up a lot because we don't have the time of day to simulate an entire eight hour shift per game, so time is warped a bit. Blame the BST. Anyways, maybe change it to a couple of hours, possibly twelve at the minimum so they can have time to digest their food and distribute it across their body and gain mass. Merging also takes a bit of time, possibly about an hour at least for a sturdy build. But, it is a minimal concern. I understand. I did take the references from the IC mechanics, so I hope you pardon me for that. Alright, I'll fix that. Think of this part more of a knowledge check to see how much you've planned with your character. How many years of education did they complete? Why did they choose surgery? What happened to the other Nymphs/Gestalts? What is their goal for the future? What is their personality like? I'll answer all of those questions onto the updated version of my app. When you complete this question, please expand on why you like your character- and please refrain from focusing on their anti-violence. Do they have any quirks? Anything you can sympathize with them on? I'll add that, too. Same with this one- I'd like for you to expand on this one a bit. Why do you feel that you're a seven? Do you have any strengths? Faults? Are you attempting to correct your shortcomings if any, and if so, how? Alright, I answered that, and I hope you like my answers. It's fine, I actually thank you for pointing out my errors, and all. Aw don't make me blush.

[mention]Elohi Adanvdo[/mention] , My next weeks will be kinda busy, and I won't be able to advertise it in game, So i'll just mention you here and hope you see it. I'll be active here, though.

BYOND Key:Riqpley_Dagasd Character Names:Kiluho Irusole, Ka’Akaix’Vakk Zo’ra, Za’Akaix’Ku Zora, Koor Ezzioh, Giil’klun Nriuul, Qriil-Kual Nriuul, Myriad, Karime Ikram, Za’Akaix’Kyur Zo’ra Species you are applying to play:Diona What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt):N/A 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: Firstly I wanted to apply for Diona because it was the only alien whitelist left to have them all, but after reading it, I actually got really interested on the Diona lore, and how flexible it is. I also want to play as a Dionae to try and improve myself as a player, as I want to play less violent characters, to see if it kills this validhunty behavior that I have. The possibilities of how a Dionae is formed are so many, and so different from eachother that I really feel that I will make several different characters, and this makes me very excited. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Besides mechanical traits, Dionaea have this whole “Unity” approach, the fact that they have so new, and different from anything else around makes them very different from other races. I also difference them a lot from humans, or any other species at all, because they don’t have a homeplanet, or anything like that, but instead they are sometimes found on the most unexpected, inhabitable places, or they can simply be one more from millions around Jargon, and other planets. Character Name:Forgotten In The Depths Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs 53th JFRD LOGS: Kiloi-Qose Research Facility, Jargon IV: INTERVIEW NUMBER-1593, “Forgotten In The Depths”: -TEST RESULTS- Strong knowledge on medical fields, including traumatology, dermatology, and neurology. Subject given citizenship, all nymphs chipped, and given housing. -END OF REPORT.- After gaining citizenship on Jargon IV, Forgotten In The Depths had finished their 8 years in a medicine college, in 2452. Then, they started looking for a job. They have been employed as a general surgeon on a local hospital in one of the major cities of Jargon IV, although they still had an objective: be able to work with other species. Forgotten In The Depths are a Dionae that always like to interact with other species. Every time they can get a chance, they will attempt to start a conversation, or ask something to improve their knowledge. They past most of their time reading history, and reference books, when not working, or watching non-Dionaea, so they tried to be employed on a job offered by NanoTrasen, and got transferred to a station called NSS Aurora. What do you like about this character? Something that I like a lot about Forgotten, is that they are completely pacifists, and would never, never harm anyone unless they had no other option to do so. Something else that I like about them is that they have gotten so interested in learning more about humans, and others, that they wanted to leave Jargon, just to be able to aquire more knowledge related to other species, to, again, be able to witness other species in action. Something that I also plan on having them as part of their personality, is that they will always try their best on anything, no matter what. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I’d rate on a scale from 1 to 10, 1000 7, because I still have a validhunty behavior on my view, and I am still trying to kill it. Though I think I am making progress, when playing other roles than Security, like engineering, or medical areas. I also think I need to improve on my snowflake levels, wich I think they’re still high. Notes:

I can't say no to this. I just simply love it, it's way better than the old ones. I support it.

Hey [mention]Senpai Jackboot[/mention], I did what you asked for, and I seem, on my view, to cover all the spots that you pointed out. You can either go back to the application, or simply open this spoiler,
