JMJ_99

From what I have played with Ezuo, they are a great roleplayer and I believe he will be able to make this character work. I feel that more could be added to other sections of the application. For the backstory I really like the amount of development and attention that has been given to it, my knowledge of Skrell may not be fantastic but I can't find any faults in it. I like the professors significance to her and way that the name addition is added to it to express that, I believe it works well and is unique. A overall good application and a +1 from me

As Brutish and Abosh have said regarding this, Following the complaint I made a large effort to improve myself as a roleplayer and Jaeger as a character and I believe I have done so. She has been problematic in Aurora for me as she was my first character I made on SS13 and she was used to get myself used to HRP which meant adapting her to it, despite this I believe she has improved massively as a character.

BYOND key:JMJ_99 Character names:Emma, Kars‘sa Kareeth, Ashley Jaeger How long have you been playing on Aurora?:6 months Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I believe this particular character is suitable for Command and I want a part of the Increased responsibility and unique interactions the Whitelist opens up. I've began missing my times as HoS on para want to continue on Aurora Why did you come to Aurora?: I come from paradise, majority of that I was a HoS main. After about 18 months I eventually found the MRP chaos and furriness to be too annoying and I wanted a better more realistic experience. I saw the heavy RP label on aurora one day and decided to join, instantly fell in love with how much better it is at absolutely everything and haven’t looked back. Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: Yes I have many times. 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 means different things for different people, for me it is immersing yourself into that character and acting as them. It is putting yourself into situations that normally would not be possible for you and acting as that character. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: A head of staff have two main purposes in my opinion. Firstly to assist players with learning how that department operates and help them to learn. The second purpose is to enhance and direct the Role play in that round. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: as said above, whitelisted players have the responsibility of directing the round appropriately and helping new and old players. The way I would achieve this is by delegating to my subordinates and not micromanaging everything that happens. Also I would assist any player with questions or issues they have be it OOC or IC. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name:Kars’sa Kareeth Character age:39 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): ((Note: This is a reworked version from my Unathi application)) Born 2419 in a small village north east of the Izweski City of Skalama the youngest of two sons, Kars'sa from a young age always wanted to be a warrior like his father and bring prosperity to his clan. While too poor to receive a proper education other than what his mother could teach him, he in addition to this he received training from his father who also raised him an ardent Sk'akh. From when he first heard of Human and Skrell contact he dreamed of space travel. When the contact war broke out in 2437 with Kars'sa at age 18 where he had to leave his wife and newborn daughter as he found himself levied by his Clan lord to serve the Hemogeny with his brother. A year into the conflict holding back coalition forces, his brother was gravely injured, taking him out of the war. After the confusion of that directly followed the Nuclear exchange, Kars'sa was separated from his levy and made way towards his village, which he found to be destroyed with no signs of life. Before he too was struck with radiation poisoning he gave his family members a Sk’akh burial the best he was able to. With his almost entire clan presumed dead and his brother’s whereabouts unknown, he fled to Ourea via a human vessel a few months later. In 2445 after arriving in Tau Ceti a few years prior, he was contacted by Nanotrasen that offered him employment in security because of his military service. At the present time, he has completed a Degree in criminology and works in the ISD on the NSS Aurora and he has decided to lodge an command application due to the length of time he has been employed with the company. What do you like about this character?: He is a more level headed and rational unathi than alot seen on the station. I find the religious side of him interesting to Roleplay and I enjoy the interactions so far. What do you dislike about this character?: He is a fairly new character which means there isn't much yet developed of him other than his backstory What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: He has a large amount of experience and history working with Nanotrasen. The trauma he has gone through to get as far as he has has hardened and desensitized him and caused him to be able to remain calm. Both of these reasons are the majority of why I believe Kareeth to be suitable for HoS. Secondly the Warrior Honor Code I believe would be a good way to guide my RP as a HoS as its central focus matches the requirements of a Good HoS player In my opinion and this is already something I keep in mind with him as an officer. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I believe I am alright Since converting from MRP to HRP I have come a long way. Although when I look back at how I used to act with regrets, I take feedback I get very seriously and I think I make large improvements every time Receive it. I know I still have things to work on but I believe I am a competent enough player now. Extra notes:

CCIA Staff Application Basic Information Byond key:JMJ_99 Character names:Ashley Jaeger, Mika, Emma, Kars’sa Kareeth Age:17(18 in less than a month) Timezone:AEST( UTC +10:00) What times are you most available? On weekdays, From about 4 to 12pm on weekdays. On weekends essentially available 24 hours a day. I’m about to finish school this week so for most of next year I will be available most times. Experience How long have you played SS13?: 2 years How long have you played on Aurora?:5-6 months How active on the forums, discord and/or server are you?I check the forums daily. I’m very active on the server and discord. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?:no Have you ever volunteered as moderation staff for any other servers, SS13 or otherwise?:For ss13,no but elsewhere yes. I have been moderator on a TF2 jailbreak server. Unfortunately. The owner couldn’t afford to keep the server running so it shut down around a month after it opened. I've also been moderator for a few discord servers but these are mostly dead now. Do you have any other experience that you believe would be relevant to a position in the CCIA?:Not really. Why do you want to join the CCIA?:I want to be able to make some contribution to the community I’m spending so much time with and I like CCIA because it deals with things ICly . CCIA is appealing to me because it gives the opportunity for unique interactions and RP that otherwise wouldn't be possible. What do you think are the most important qualities for a CCIA Agent to possess?: The ability to keep level headed, act professional and see things from all sides and prospective, this is vital in order to be able to properly handle IRs and settle grievances between players. Being in CCIA means you need to be trustworthy and competent enough to act as Central command in the game. What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is in an ongoing round?:Most of the time CCIA should be trying to effect the round as little as possible, doing only going as far as to do what is needed of them, be that giving an interview or responding to a fax and emergency transmissions. What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is outside of the server?: To handle incidence reports and NT policy. Occasionally CCIA will make modifications to Corporate regulations and directives How do you handle stress?:It may not show up in game a lot, but it takes alot before it begins to affect me. How well do you work autonomously?:With proper motivation I can work on my own rather quickly. Additional Notes:

Simply amazing

Feedback is noted and appreciated. I will be trying to improve my roleplay considerably as her before I try any further with a head application. This thread can be closed

I agree with you, So I'll explain from my perspective. Jaeger is essentially my self insert; I am trying very hard to suppress this when I play Mika so it doesn't show. Mika is intended to be positive as much as possible which in sometimes comes out as childish. Her backstory makes it difficult to spin positively which is what can make it confusing and conflicting whenever I try to RP her backstory, I'm guessing this shows off as Jaeger. Yes she wants to be freed from Nanotrasen but she doesn't want to be a freed synthetic. She wants is to fit in with Humans but is complacent with being synthetic, while around synthetics she acts more like one, but being called a Unit or Robot around Humans shatters that illusion for her. She wants a owner that will treat her properly unlike the previous corporate giants that have owned her. What I meant in this answer is that Her motivations are to do her job and not really anything else that would be problematic with a command position.

BYOND key:JMJ_99 Character names:Mika, Ashley Jaeger,(two others that are less than a week old so no point mentioning them) How long have you been playing on Aurora?:5-6 months Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: Promotion for head of staff is my next plan for Mika. I want the responsibility that comes with being a head. Why did you come to Aurora?: I come from paradise, after about 18 months I eventually found the MRP chaos and furriness to be too fucking annoying and I wanted a better more realistic experience. I saw the “heavy RP” label on aurora one day and decided to join, instantly fell in love with how much better it is at absolutely everything and haven’t looked back. 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: Roleplay for me is being something that you could not be in real life. Putting yourself into a character and essentially being them in every sense of the word. While some say it’s something like improvisational story writing, which I don’t disagree with; I see it more as an opportunity to explore different scenarios and react to them as someone you are not. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: It is similar to the IC purpose. Keep your subordinates in check, making sure they arenot breaking regulations or SOP and punishing them in some form if they happen to do one of those things. A head also should delegate to their subordinates and not direct every move they should make or overstep them when not appropriate. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Whitelisted players have an obligation to not abuse their privilege or powers to abuse other players. A head should also try to keep the round !fun! for the players under their command to the best of their abilities by the directing the round. A whitelisted player is also supposed to be a role model player and help new and old players the best they can. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name:Mika Character age: 1 year old, but she’s an IPC so it’s not really relevant Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): What do you like about this character?: I consider her my best character. She is easy and simple to roleplay as I can choose how human or synthetic I want her to act to something, while at the same time being complex enough to be interesting and fun to play. What do you dislike about this character?: She often acts way too human; I try my hardest to make her reactions 99% of the time positive and keep her (“emotions”)™©® and my own Emotions from affecting my decisions but it can be difficult sometimes getting into the synthetic mindset. She can become too ugu kaiwaii which only gets reinforced the more people treat her like shes a meme character(she’s not) What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: She has very little motivation beyond doing and improving at her job and fitting in with humans as much as she can. I believe she can be developed to be a capable CMO. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?:8/10 I have been playing ss13 for 2 years, 3 quarters of that on a MRP server. I believe I am constantly improving but I can tell that some of my interactions are weird or awkward. I need to work on my emoting but I believe I am capable enough at RPing now. Extra notes:

BYOND Key: JMJ_99 Character Names: Ashley Jaeger, Mika Species you are applying to play: Unathi What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Red or Black. 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 mostly am drawn towards the ultra traditionalist and Feudalistic society that Unathi have and think it would give me the chance for a lot of interesting role play opportunities considering how drastically different their values and beliefs are compared to to the other species. Also the mechanical differences of Unathi are appealing to me. Other than that I want to be able to play a race of giant humanoid lizards that use ramming as their main naval tactic. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Unathi are less free form in how they can be roleplayed compared to Humans. Unathi almost all have grown up in a traditional setting, Men own almost all of the power and women are discouraged from doing most things other than looking after the children and the house. Theres alot of things that are part of Unathi culture that effect roleplay with other Unathi, such as women not being allowed to associate with Guwans and only addressing another Unathi by their last name under almost all circumstances. The Honor system means that your actions reflect on your clan and doing something wrong could lead to it being dishonored, meaning your actions have a lot more impact than a humans would Character Name: Kars'sa Kaareth Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Born 2419 in a small village north east of the Izweski City of Skalama the youngest of two sons, Kars'sa from a young age always wanted to be a warrior like his father and bring prosperity to his clan. While too poor to receive a proper education other than what his mother could teach him, he in addition to this he received training from his father who also raised him Sk'akh. When Kars'sa first found out about the first contact with humans, he was fascinated by the thought of space travel and wished to someday be able to experience it despite it being such a strange concept to him When the contact war broke out in 2437with Kars'sa at age 18 where he had to leave his wife and newborn daughter as he found himself levied by his Clan lord to serve the Hemogeny with his brother. A year into the conflict holding back coalition forces, his brother took a direct hit from a artillery shell, destroying his Battle Rig, injuring him greatly and taking him out of the rest of the War recovering. After the confusion of that directly followed the Nuclear exchange, Kars'sa was separated from his levy and made way towards his village. Kars'sa was devastated to find no signs of life in his former hometown; all of his hope and chance at achieving his dreams, gone. His Wife, child and parent's spirits taken from him to join The Great Spirit. Giving his family a Sk'akh Burial the best he could with the lack of a priest and the little time he had before he too got radiation poisoning. With his almost entire clan could only be presumed dead and his brothers whereabouts unknown, he abandoned his Levy and fled to Ourea via a human vessel a few months later. In 2445 he was contacted by Nanotrasen recruiter which due to his military background offered him a cadet ship. In the present day, he has been given a transfer to the NSS Aurora working in the Internal security department, where he is attempting to regain what little of his honor as a Warrior and Unathi he has left in him. What do you like about this character? His childhood was relatively simple however hard due to his families social status. His adulthood from the start was completely ruined by the contact war, everything he loved was taken from him. He now tries to serve NT attempting to form a new life. It is likely he will eventually be declared a guwan How would you rate your role-playing ability? 7/10-I am okay at it and I am improving but I am still new to roleplaying and ss13, only started playing 2 years ago. Notes:

A unfeeling completely impartial machine that only cares for enforcing guidlines is more intimidating than a human

ATLAS in general is either played well or a complete failure in my eyes. Sean Richter is a very good example of ATLAS played properly, While on the other hand antag Gimmicks where ATLAS "human supremacists" go and murder every human on the station that doesn't join them(has happened) are not. My intentions are to reduce the chance of the latter happening, The players I've seen complain about ATLAS players often complain that ATLAS characters are all too similar and that the interactions are lazy. I don't intend to lessen the extremist views to any extent just increase the focus on the Human First policy. One of my ideas was to add a section that says that ATLAS discourages Members from being excessively xenophobic as it is a waste of resources and time that could be spend benefiting and improving Human controlled space, However it still teaches members the inferiority of non humans and their culture. I also liked the different fields of ATLAS that was present in the canonization app and would like to somehow incorporate them in some form, as it would add better variety and choice for ATLAS players I think that the Biesel division of ATLAS would want to limit the rights of non-humans in Tau Ceti as well as maintain a healthy relationship with the Alliance; I think the actions of vaurca(if the next vaurca loredev takes it closer to how fowl was going and make the species more antagonistic) in the system could be used to justify any propaganda the division has and actions they might take which could result in an increase in activity of them. For Tau Ceti Itself I don't think alot needs to be changed, but updating to reflect how actions of vaurca and the synth movement have impacted the system is important. I don't plan any major changes but mostly just want to expand on it. I think that the Alliance and Tau Ceti should be less friendly towards each other sparked by Frost's invasion, but I don't see there being a lot of hostile action against eachother as the Alliance would still be trying to recover its image and would not want to avoid something. Nanotrasen and Biesel Republic would still be recovering from the invasion and hold a lot of resentment towards Sol Gov. I've looked at the lore for the frontier again; I agree with the vague structure and don't think alot needs to be changed now. I may make minor updates to the Frontier lore adding some structure to it while still allowing player a large amount of freedom. So instead of focusing on the frontier I intend to focus on fleshing out the minor human factions and they're relationship with the alliance and tau ceti.

Ckey/BYOND Username: JMJ_99 Position Being Applied For (coder, mapper, spriter): Human Lore developer Past Experiences/Knowledge:No wikiformating knowledge however have coding experience so learning formatting should be very easier. Pretty good knowledge of sci-fi genre; able to develope my own fictional universes and come up with explanations based on my general knowledge Examples of Past Work: Suppose my ss13 characters count plus have developed drafts of background of my Paradise Character. I don't write anything I come up with really. Preferred Mode of Communication (Skype, Steam, etc.): Discord: JJ #8917 Additional Comments: I really like the lore on this server, especially the Sol Alliance lore and would love to be able to contribute to it and I have numerous ideas but would be open to suggestions. If accepted I intend mostly to expand mostly on Sol government lore in relation to Systems and planets under its controlled. Some of my goals would be to: Primarily, flesh out and increase the relevance of the the frontier and epsilon eridani as there is currently nothing substantial currently canon about them or they are ignored areas of the lore in game. I notice a few players are not extremely happy with how some ATLAS members and related gimmicks are portrayed in game, as such I intend the shift the focus of ATLAS from "fuck xenos" to the other aspects of ATLAS doctrine. Likely would be achieved by a rewrite that makes it more clear that ATLAS is humans first and not mainly xenophobia. This hopefully would make ATLAS portrayed more accurately in-game.

Look, Canon Jaeger is literally nothing like Antag Jaeger; there is nothing about her that breaks OOC rules. I've turned off all antag roles for her now and I'll be playing her canonly for a while

This happens on antag rounds,I get antag a lot. I haven't had much opportunity to develop her Canonly since my retcon; Which was done specfically to make her less violent towards other species(Are we seeing a pattern here? Antag Ashley != Cannon Ashley perhaps?). It never goes beyond "CALL ME A FUCKING WOMAN AGAIN AND I'M GOING TO FUCKING GET A WARRANT TO ARREST YOU FOR HARASSMENT" either. You're free to write an IR if she acts like this canonly which it wont since this only happens on antag rounds and I've already said I plan I finding better gimmicks

Firstly, When shes a non Antag; she takes her medication and does her job; 9 times out of ten she only does something if they start it first. Secondly, Yes I understand I overuse the "unathi killed my mother" gimmic on antag, Like I said you're just the Unathi I see most often(and as Biabri said you choose to play unathi); I will try to find other gimmicks and try to use this one less often. Lastly I did not have Transformation sting for either changling rounds so that section is factually incorrect, all I did was Cast Ashley's DNA and you should recall I asked multiple times in processing for you to get released on that second round. I've only been Changling 3 times in my 1 and a half years of playing SS13 so I wasn't acting entirely like a changling but I wasn't acting entirely like Jaeger due to confusion on Changlings. Yes I targeted you in the first changling round; That was not due to backstory, Me and Biabri both agreed on absorbing all of security if we could

BYOND Key: JMJ_99 Character Names: Ashley Jaeger, Security Officer Species you are applying to play: IPC 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: IPCs are the most apealling species to me, I just really Like the Idea of playing a cold heartless machine and the RP that can be done with this; Also the ethics of Artificial intelligence has always interested me. IPCs are unique to all the other species in that there is more freedom in what can be done with the character; each different type(base, industrial, shell) are wildly different, as well as the possibility of having inbuilt directives or laws. specifically I want to play as a shell the most as the mix between Organic and synthetics seems interesting Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Unlike a human, IPCs are not slaved to the horrible concoction of chemicals we call a brain, this means that IPCs are do not react based on emotion and are unable to have irrational thoughts. IPCs only have their Body and Their programming. They have a completely different thought process to organics and their morality is based purely on calculations preset by their creator. Understandably other species do not look very kindly on IPCs as they are well not like anything organic or they try to emulate something organic, This means that IPCs have limited rights and often face discrimination based on the fact they are not organic, this is especially true in sol alliance Character Name: Mika Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs IPC shell frame designation "Mika" is a prototype shell developed by Hephaestus Industries. The plan to create a IPC that could look like a human and understand and emulate Human emotion better than any IPC current on the market started in late 2457 with a deadline of two years for the prototype to be finished. The positron brain was developed by a team of researchers at the HRS Lemnos and her body outsourced to XION manufacturing group. Her positronic brain Incorporates heavily modified emotional emulation coding typically found in Personal AI personalities as well as experimental analysis software to give her the desired level of emotional prowess. It took one and a half years to get this working as intended and this meant that almost all other modules of her positronic brain were rushed or outright ignored. When she was finished and activated in December 2458, researchers found in testing she was infact able to understand and simulate emotion to the level that was originally intended, the problem however came when testing for critically thinking and control over her prosthetics, she completely failed all quality control standards in this regard and she was completely unable to act on her own accord. Prior to this point the body and Brain had never been one in the same; The researchers concluded that the lack of attention given to other areas of her positronic brain were entirely to blame for this. After experimentation was concluded, Mika was given the choice of being terminated or to live on the research station as Hephaestus property, she chose the latter. After several months of living on the station and being subject to exploitation by the crew, Nanotransen found out about her creation and offered Hephaestus 500 thousand credits in exchange for rights to both Mika and her valuable programming code. The offer was accepted and Mika was moved to accommodation on the NTCC Odin where she was given several upgrades to make her employable. Firstly She was given directives to deal with her inability to act, on her own, 1. When threatened in any degree, you are to escape and Hide until the threat has passed 2. You may only act in self defense if you are unable to enact the first directive. Next she was given a upgrade to her positronic brain to enable to understand situations and make choices at a basic level that are not emotion based. This meant she was finally able to think for her self, even if it was difficult. Nanotransen has recently promised her a position at the newly opened NSS Aurora and gareenteed that she will get regular upgrades to her software and hardware. What do you like about this character? She is a misunderstood character with many flaws. Essentially she understands emotions alot better than most IPCs and can fake them but any complex thought or decision making is very hard and time consuming. she is made to run at any sign of danger, to protect her self from her own stupidity and only allowed to defend herself if backed into a corner. I believe I could make the struggle of her fighting over her flawed brain and Inability to feel emotions but complete ability to understand them work and also there is alot of potential for character progression. How would you rate your role-playing ability? 7/10- I have a lot to learn both in game and about role playing but I believe I am decent at it Notes:
