Zelmana

Thanks! I will be the bester goodest boy you've ever seen if accepted.

Thanks a lot, Amory! I really appreciate working with you in sec, looking forward to developing our character's occupations / friend relationships side-by-side. Thanks, Lilah. Enjoy your character in chemistry, likewise with Amory above, excited to see how you both interact icly. I am grateful that you think I am fair minded and suited for Head, it means a lot. Also- glad you notice some of my character's ticks and general way of rp. The little things count (and are fun), I'm glad someone is noticing, haha. I try to play a moral character, so thanks. Hoping to do well in security in either officer or (hopefully) a head position. Either way, I intend to make the best of roleplay.

Pierre Leone is well rounded in the corporate side of Aurora. Would enjoy roleplaying with them as they increase their ranking in the station. +1

BYOND key: Zelmana Character names: Sean Brianne, Ebb Syzygy How long have you been playing on Aurora?: 2015-06-04 13:37:56 Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I wish to be on the heads whitelist in order to further the RP development of my security character, Sean Brianne. In the past two (or three) months, he has been taking on more Seniority roles within Security. What makes him wish to apply for head of security is that he has been chosen as Interim Head of Security, and he performed very well under pressure. Why did you come to Aurora?: I came to Aurora because I was seeking a more serious roleplay server than my previous SS13 server, Urist Mcstation. Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications 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: I believe roleplay is very much akin to acting. In a sense, roleplay is acting without a script, on a stage (in this case, SS13) with other players who also do not have scripts. It is one great improvisational scene, with each player striving to have fun, building not only their own characters but also meeting and expanding the relationships with other characters as well. It should primarily be about fun, exploration of characters and the relationships that are formed. Furthermore, the best roleplay possible is done by Mouse(133) eating Cheesie Honkers in maintenance. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The OOC purpose of a Head of Staff ingame is for them to run their department correctly and efficiently. This could be done via paperwork, actual configuration of ingame mechanics, and oversight of the roles and characters within the department. The overall end-goal is for the departments to work cohesively and interdependently. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: The OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players to other players are to show the proper and encouraged way to roleplay, guide and teach new players, and to produce a roleplay environment that breeds fun by using the abilities or roles given to them as a whitelisted player. Another role may be to look into hopeful whitelisted players' applications, and provide feedback or responses based on their own experiences. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Sean Brianne Character age: 31 years, 10 months Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Sean Brianne was born in one of the gutter districts of Olympia, Mars, to a Kilroy and Jessica Brianne. Due to the levels of poverty, and need for his parents to work, Sean was raised by his older sister, Rachel Brianne. Two months before his sixteenth birthday, Sean was forced out of the house to work. Tempted by the Hematite Mines his father worked for, he instead opted to join a Junior Security Team employing teens to protect the Tricor Olympian Street Market near his home. During his time here, he began to learn Tau Ceti Basic. Two years into the job, however, the market was overcome with raiders, and Sean was taken. Sean worked in the underbelly of the raiding ship, making simple repairs and maintenance to the ship's systems. For three years Sean worked in these conditions, growing to hate the raiders and other scummy individuals he met when they were granted leave at orbital dockyards. However, despite these conditions, he remained positive. His fellow workers were kind people, and he was learning many skills. He became very well versed in Tau Ceti Basic, and gained rudimentary electronics knowledge from the constant repairs. Just when he was growing comfortable, the Interstellar Aid Corps bought the release of the workers onboard, and he was scheduled to be released. Following his release from the raiding vessel, Sean found himself at the frontier. He and two other shipmates decided to enlist in a private military contract company, due to their common Security experience. This mercenary group, "Arexus' High Risk Retrieval", specialized in resource extraction and drop-point guarding and oversight. Due to this, Sean became proficient in marksmanship. Sean and his fellow mercenaries would take part in six contracts over two years. After this time, the mercenary group was absorbed by a larger corporate entity, Nanotrasen. During the process of absorption, Sean was evaluated and transferred to work as a Security Officer. He wore his holobadge for the first time ten years and two stations ago, and now serves alongside the Security Team aboard the Aurora Research Station. During his time aboard, he was granted an honorary masters degree in Corporate Security and Defensive Management. He was granted this with the completion of out-of-work independent studies. Recently, he has served as Interim Head of Security, and intends on applying for the position. What do you like about this character?: I enjoy that this character is relaxed, yet has a very good sense of humor. Sean is a fun character to play, yet when the need arises he is stoic and serious to deal with criminals. I also enjoy the relaxed cadence of how I play this character. I am able to find good roleplay moments in the simplest of things, and love to chat up crewmembers. He is very socialable yet as above stated, gets down to his duty when needed to. What do you dislike about this character?: I dislike that some may call my character a bit of a snowflake, even though his lore is well founded and reasonable. His joyful and joking attitude can rub some people the wrong way, and is the source of some problems for him. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: I think that this character is fit to be head of staff due to his security experience, willingness to work with others, and levelheaded take on his responsibilities. He has continually progressed the branches of security, and believes it to be his personal responsibility to ensure the safety and success of the crew and Nanotrasen as a whole. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: 8/10. While roleplaying, I use correct grammar and punctuation, as well as detailed emotes (without going overboard). I would say that those who roleplay with my character would find that they are having fun. Whilst adding some bits of my own character / demeanor to my characters, I believe that I do a good job at separating the two. I am fairly knowledgeable of the mechanics, SOP, and regulations to a point where I can interact with the crew and help it function as normally as possible. My characters all have some sort of development and goals in ss13. Extra notes: Thank you all for taking the time and thought that goes into looking at these applications!

I am not aware of what the implication of /Shadman/, nor do I know what that is, but after a quick google I realize that this image is from a comic of some rather disturbing stuff. I was under the illusion that this image was a satirical jab at Hillary Clinton by depicting them as a loli, not that this was a fetishisation of children (which I agree, Lolicon is.). I understand that Loli is a fairly disgusting / disturbing topic, which is why I found it humorous and related to the discussion in OOC about Hillary Clinton and how she was depicted as such. If memory serves me correct, a user requested to know the Know Your Meme of Hiloli Clinton, which was the subject of discussion. I direct linked to that page's image. As of now that page is taken down. I digress, I did not intentionally post this image to be a subject of fetishisation of children, and posted this image on the basis of the discussion of the absurdity of Hillary Clinton being satirically depicted in the image. Humorous? Maybe. Probably not. I have played on this server for nearly two years without any altercation or rule-breaking that warranted anything of this scale. I do realize the wrongness of the situation and take responsibility for this, but do feel that this will skew the perspective of those who view me. I posted this image thinking that it was a satirical depiction of Hillary Clinton found on Know Your Meme. I understand that this is wrong, but feel as though the description depicts me as someone who has posted actual nude and very-real images depicting children, instead of the picture posted. I understand that actions have consequences, but I did make an honest mistake and feel that the description implies that I am nefarious in my actions. If you do not change or alter it, I understand the reasoning, but would request that this complaint form be made private or removed. Thanks again.

BYOND Key: Zelmana Staff BYOND Key: Tishinastalker Game ID (Not sure. Time of round given.): 2016-09-19 17:53:42 Reason for complaint: I received the following warning: "Posting extremely questionable content involving child pornography." after posting the following: Evidence/logs/etc:See above ^ Additional remarks: I believe that yes, perhaps it was wrong to post the image, but it was the topic of discussion in the OOC channel at the time. I completely understand if I receive a warning for this, but the description of it being "extremely questionable content involving child pornography" when it is non-nude, animated, and non-overtly sexual comes off as too harsh. When a staff member would look on my warning and see a warning for "questionable content including child pornography", they assume the worst. The image I posted is very very tame and is used in a joking manner at the time in the discussion. I believe the warning description inaccurately portrays both the situation and my overall personal behavior as a player. I do not wish this to impact my expansion of roleplay in terms of whitelist applications or general interaction with staff, and would request this to be dealt with at staff's will. Thank you all, sorry for the Hiloli Clinton.
