I've spoken to Khaled and Raymond IC admittedly not much, but they're good characters in my opinion. Definitely higher than the standard. There's definitely a lot of depth behind them, but I haven't been trying enough to talk to them or find out their backstories. They seem really fleshed out as characters and have distinguishable personalities - which is always a good thing to see. There's not much else to say, really. I think you did an excellent job making both of the characters. Can't give much more feedback since I don't know their backstory or much else. But they're good bois in my book.

Synth's a nice guy in OOC, and he's pretty good at roleplaying from what I've seen. Teletraan is one of the best AIs, and also one of the best roleplayed AIs, even. I can't judge too much on the backstory but it looks solid and promising. I wouldn't mind seeing an honorable Unathi. +1.

Alright, I've interacted with Tsemir enough to give some feedback now. Your OOC conduct is pretty good. I don't have anything particular to say other than you're a good person OOCly. Your IC conduct and roleplay are also very good. You're very good at roleplaying, and Tsemir feels like a believable character. Having spoken to him ICly, I can say that you roleplay him very well. I wouldn't mind seeing him as a CE. +1.

That's negated by the fact that we very rarely get ninjas that can crush resistance that easily. I think it's negated by that, personally. But I agree, perhaps this should be tested out like the chemistry changes.

Pretty much title. We all know how there are a lot of clumsy Ninjas that fall down holes at roundstart, or get killed very early by security, turning the round into extended. Ninja is a gamemode that relies very heavily on one player being good, if they don't want to peace antag. So why not make it two ninjas instead? This was tried out yesterday, where the ninja fell down a hole and was recovered, then at that point it was basically extended. Another Ninja was bussed in, and it actually worked. So, this suggestion is about making ninja have 2 ninjas above a certain amount of players, most likely 15.

Another one to the ranks. Your IC roleplay is good, better than most people, in fact. I haven't seen any instances of you powergaming, so I do think you're underestimating yourself a bit there. Your OOC conduct is also pretty good, and I don't have anything else to say about that. Onto the application. The backstory seems a little short to me. Perhaps you could expand on what he did in Aliose, the education he got and where, and such? It's often better to have a clear cut backstory so that you don't have to make everything up on the spot and to make sure that you don't contradict your own words later. Which has happened to some people. I like your answers to the other questions, so I don't have an issue giving a +1 here. Though expanding the backstory would increase your odds of being accepted a lot.

Something else to add is that wizard and ninja rely VERY heavily on the player playing them's skill. And if said player isn't good, chances are they'll die in the first 30 minutes and turn the round into extended. Which isn't fun for anyone. I'm agreeing with this suggestion.

Absolutely disgusting, deplorable attitude, I am filing a lawsuit

I'm not sure I can support this application. The answers to the questions are alright. I don't see any particularly outstanding issues there. However. You've said that you rushed this application yourself, which made you neglect the requirements to be a Head of Security - which you did state that you read the wiki earlier on. Which isn't a good sign, but I'm willing to not pay too much mind to that. It happens. Onto the character itself. I'm not sure why Nanotrasen would implant and promote a person with a short fuse out of other candidates. Having a fairly short fuse is definitely not something you want in a Head of Security at all, considering how stressful the job is, but then again they're implanted. I'm also not much of a fan of your answer to the "What makes your character fit to be a head of staff" question. Your answer is basically an answer that anyone can give about any character. You can write a character on the spot and give them 10 years of experience and a bachelor's without any real backstory, and the answer would be the exact same. There is nothing noticeable in your backstory or your answers that makes me think "This character would be good as a Head of Security". It seems like the average security officer, more than anything. Your backstory is also lacking in my opinion. It's not very long, neither does it define who Hill is as a person. I'm not too keen on that. Onto your actual OOC and IC conduct. I haven't seen much of you OOC, except you calling my character out on something I never did, but that doesn't matter now. I'm willing to pass over that too. I haven't seen much of your warden play, but how you neglect punctuation IC isn't a very good sign of an 8/10 roleplayer. I'd expect a roleplayer that gives themselves an 8/10, but that's also something I'm willing to pass over. Considering the answers that other people have given and what I've observed of you in game, I'm not going to support this application. I'm going to lean towards a -1.

Good to see you're applying for the superior species. Jokes aside. Your OOC and IC conduct is pretty good. In all honesty, you're amazing at roleplaying. You're also excellent at story writing, and I'm being objective here. Your RP in game is very good, and from the interactions I've had with your characters I can safely say you're a very, very capable roleplayer. You never break character, and you meet all the criteria for me to consider you excellent. Now, onto the actual backstory. I'm not too keen on the idea of a Skrell having a relationship with a synthetic. I'd think they'd be the first to know that synthetics don't have any concrete emotions. I also think that the 3 incidents would be pretty much drilled into Skrellian children's backstory. Which makes the fact that a Skrell is that close to a synthetic odd. I don't think I have any other issues with it to be honest, and it could turn out to be quite the interesting twist, if I ever see you play this character. It'd make for good conflict IC. Which I'm always a fan of. Overall, +1. Can't wait to see you play, buddy.

About time you made this app, Calion. Anyways. You're a pretty cool dude, both OOC and IC. I've spoken to most of your characters. Vieniamin is a particularly nice character, from the interactions I've had with him it's pretty obvious you have a good grasp on how to roleplay a different species, and your roleplay is overall nice. Onto the actual backstory. I've read it over quite a few times, and I don't see any particularly outstanding issues. I think it'll be an interesting character, though I'll reserve judgement for when I see you play her. +1.

How many years of security related experience does he have? Does he have a relevant bachelor's or masters? When was he hired by Nanotrasen?

Your warden play isn't exactly great. Sometimes you look like you don't have a very clear grasp of regulations, from what I've seen of your arrest, whenever you play warden which I actually don't see you play too much, even as quartermaster. About your quartermaster, I feel like your warden is a carbon copy. There isn't any concrete difference I can spot in your two characters, they seem to talk the same way and I'm not sure about the backstories. As for your general OOC conduct, I don't have much to say. You do neglect grammar IC, neglecting to add punctuation or even capitalization when you bold things that you're saying - which you do a bit too often, in my opinion. Overall, I'm going to go with neutral. Leaning towards -1 in all honesty. I don't think you're fit yet.

Minimum age for CMO is 35 years old, not 34. Also, you are not getting a whitelist for CMO, you are getting a whitelist for all head of staff roles.

Added prefered means of communication and my character names.

Yes, you're right. That is why if I'm choosing moderating over CCIA, and if I end up resigning as moderator for some reason I'll go for CCIA. I'm not sure about a dual trial, sounds like a real lot of work.

While I did consider applying for CCIA for a few days or so, I ended up believing that CCIA is a mixed bag for me, at the moment. From your description and my own findings in how IRs are dealt with and how much time it takes, I'm not sure whether I would like it. Keep in mind - "I'm not sure I would like it". It isn't that I wouldn't like it, but that if I ended up applying for CCIA and didn't like it, what then? I'd have to resign, and I would feel like a complete asshole resigning after a short time. Meanwhile, looking at how moderation works, I find it to suit me more overall. Schev does bring up valid points, but I can deal with that. I already know what I'm getting into with the logs since I used to moderate and admin on various TTT servers back in the day, so I find that rather normal. If I end up not liking moderation chances are I'll try CCIA out too. Does this answer every question you had or do I need to say more? I apologize if I sounded like a dick by not replying. I was mostly kidding around there, but I seriously did consider applying for CCIA.

I know most of his characters from playing with him a lot. It's a definite +1 from me. His conduct in OOC and IC is pretty good, although sometimes you end up almost self antagging as Viatorem, but that's a completely different issue. Your roleplay is very good, and I wouldn't mind seeing you as an Unathi at all.

Age: 15 Timezone: UCT +1 Character Name(s): Erana'Weshi Xoqia, Araa Plenek, Xli'loqu Axqiu. Preferred means of communication: Discord is my most prefered. Skype is a decent second choice. Telegram also works. When are you on Aurora?: 14:30 to 21:00 on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday, 13:30 to 21:00 on Monday/Friday, 12:30 to 21:50-23 on Saturdays, 10:30 to 21:30 on Sundays Experience How long have you played SS13?: Around 3-4 months. How long have you played on Aurora: Around one month and a half, possibly two by now. How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: I know pretty much everything except half of engineering. I know how engineering works in principle, but not how to set up the engines. The department has just never attracted me too much, but it is one of the things I want to improve on. I also know a lot about the combat system. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: Not at all. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: Never been banned. Personality Why do you play SS13?: I play SS13 because it's a roleplaying game first and foremost. It lets me roleplay as someone else, it lets me forget about the real world and just play another world of sorts. I play it for the interactions with people, but mostly because it is fun for me as a whole. Why do you play on Aurora?: I play on Aurora because it's meant to be an HRP server. I play here because it's high roleplay, and MRP/LRP have never had much appeal to me. While I have always wanted to try out HRP, the only server I knew about at the time was BS12 and I didn't like the military RP part. Then I stumbled upon Aurora, and here I am. What do moderators do?: Moderators are the medium between roleplayers and the rules. They're there to enforce that rules are respected and that a proper roleplay experience is had for the players. They are also there to advise people on what to do, if there are any ahelps about departmental questions moderators are expected to handle them. What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: It means to be knowledgeable about the rules and enforce them on the server. It means that you care about the server as a whole, and the people that want to play it, and that you want to make it a better place. Why do you want to be a moderator?: I want to be a moderator because it'd be hell of a good experience in my opinion. I really, really enjoy this server and I play here for my entire day, and I feel like I could do a good job at moderating. I also want to "give back" for giving me a good server to play on. I also want to make people have a better roleplaying experience in general. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I'm good at handling stress and insults. I'm also knowledgeable in the rules, and I trust myself with the position. I'm also on for most of the time in my timezone. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: I handle stress, anger and insults rather well. I don't have a problem with them, since I learnt not to care about them. Anything Else You Want to Add: I don't really want to add anything, other than damn, do I have to thank Superiorform and DatBerry for nudging me towards making this application. Thanks a lot.

Your last application was denied for lack of feedback, but how would opening it again a day after help? Speaking of. Your earlier reply was very clearly sarcasm ("... thanks for citing my 18 day old warning.") or salt, one of the two. If you really did appreciate the feedback, you'd have left the part about the warning out. Based on your attitude in responding to DatBerry I don't think you're ready to be a head of staff and I have to agree with sonic here. I also don't see you much in game, I've seen Prismatic a few times before but that was mainly you triggering air sugar grenades in the hallways.

This is fucking glorious and portrays my character accurately. 10/10 squid points

I'll be blunt - Mika isn't command material. At all. She has been seen throwing hissy fits by both me and other players. I've also seen her be downright insubordinate at times, which isn't something you want to see in a command member. Not only that, but her motivation is nothing to bolster. "She has very little motivation beyond keeping people healthy" sounds rather cliché and if she had no other motivations, wouldn't she be better off staying as a medical doctor? I also find it unlikely how Nanotrasen gave a random synthetic partial rights, but oh well. Speaking of your roleplay, it needs work. I've seen you improve, but the extent of your roleplay so far hasn't been great. You've often let emotions affect your decisions while playing Mika, which isn't what should be happening. You've however said you're trying to improve, so I'll withhold my judgement there. Lately I haven't seen you play much at all, so I'll refrain from saying anything else. Try to play more, unless you're not in my timezone and I'm missing something. I'm going to go with a -1 right now, sorry. Mika isn't fit at all to be a command member, and your roleplaying needs work.

You forgot to answer to your byond key, and the 4 questions after it.

I completely agree with this, not only because of realism reasons but also because of balance reasons. And yeah, it should be pushed in as a trial run, much like the chemistry changes.

I've played with a bunch of Abo's characters before. And his RP has been very good, in all honesty. I think he's underestimating himself by giving himself a 7/10 on roleplaying. Either way, it's a definite +1 from me. His characters are nice, and have a lot of depth. I have only had good interactions with Abo thus far, so I don't have any complaints.
