How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Around three months.
Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: Because it looks fun to play a Head of Staff. You carry a lot of responsibility but also have a plethora of options on how to influence the game open to you. This larger impact on the game sounds fun to me.
Why did you come to Aurora?: It was the first server I joined and since I didn't see anything wrong with it I figured I might as well stay.
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 think roleplay is the act of telling a story through impersonated characters. The main thing roleplay should be about is providing entertainment to all those involved.
What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: First and foremost I think the purpose of any Head of Staff is to make sure their department runs smoothly. Secondly I think it is the duty of Head of Staff to try and facilitate a fun story. The interactions they have with antagonists can heavily decide what happens on station. They usually play a major part in how the round progresses. Thus I think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is sharing partial responsibility in making sure antagonists and non-antagonists are able to enjoy themselves.
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 serve as an example on how to act in their specific roles to other players. This is done by following the server rules to a tee as well as properly following all in character protocols.

Her sense of duty and ambition, a major proponent to her service, instilled to her from a young age with by her parents helped her with this. Leading her to eventually be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander.

Ten years later, filling papers and shaking hands as time went by, she was promoted to the position of Captain, now entrusted with keeping Nanotrasen's interest and to manage some of their most vital and important facilities.
