BYOND key: Jaden Kent Character names: Jaden Halliwell How long have you been playing on Aurora?: 7-8 months Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I mainly play a Medical Doctor and wish to be able to run the department. Why did you come to Aurora?: The roleplay and rules have been a nice vetting system. Most of the SS13 servers are crazy to say the least. Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Yes, I have. 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 is acting as a character other than yourself. Our in game players are not gods and are to maintain their level of knowledge in certain areas. This allows for a sense of realism and believability. It also maintains a bit of balance to the game. This is done by making sure an engineer cannot clone and fallen coworker. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: Other than trying to correct the merging of IC information into OOC. The Heads should not really bleed into OOC. Their place, as with all ingame characters are to remain in character. OOC, is for talking about things that do not pertain to the current game round. With IC information bleeding into the OOC for all to see. It really destabilizes the round. As much as we try not to let it affect us we end up treating certain people differently. 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 the Whitelisted players when it comes to OOC would be to uphold the “no IC in OOC” during game rounds. This would be done by informing a player in OOC to not violate that rule. AS well as informing an Admin if it does not stop. It also expands to out of character knowledge of certain systems. It is a whitelisted player’s or really all players’ responsibility to make sure all characters stay within there “limits” in all forms. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well-articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Jaden Halliwell Character age: 41 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Dr. Jaden Halliwell, knew from a young age that he wanted to practice medicine. He struggled through college financially, but he pushed himself to the edge. After Jaden finished his Bachelors degree. He applied and was accepted to Harvard Medical School. It was the best day of his life. Not only did he into a top tier school, but he also was able to stay on his home planet, Earth. Jaden, studied hard and graduated Summa Cum Laude, top of his class. It was at that moment that he knew all of the hard work and student debt was worth it. Dr. Halliwell applied to NT when he was thirty years old right after he finished his two year residency. He has been with the company ever since. He loves the challenges that come with being a doctor in space. The thrill of saving a person’s life give him such a rush. His knowledge of medicine has become even more robust, with the eleven years of experience under his belt. Jaden’s professional life is not the only thing about him though. Doctor Jaden Halliwell is a gay man; with a very loving partner, a lawyer on several other stations. The two of them never get much time together. Which sadly, is the price to pay for being successful in one’s career. However, they would never give up their positions for anything. What do you like about this character?: Dr. Jaden Halliwell, has had a rough start onboard the Aurora, from personality conflicts with several members to the many friends made in the department and other areas. Dr. Halliwell, is strong minded and stands for what he believes in. With his background he respects a person who works hard for what they have in life. What do you dislike about this character?: Jaden Halliwell, can be slightly head strong at times. He also sometimes has a little problem with authority. It is not in his nature to grant respect to someone just because of a title, he expect a person to earn it. He also is slightly egotistically because of his Harvard background. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: Jaden Halliwell, is an amazing doctor. So many years of experience in the field. He also takes control or tries to in some cases in the absence of a CMO on duty. He has seen how a med bay should be run and expects nothing less. Please provide well-articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I stay in character rather well. I will admit that sometimes I do things that my character probably should not have knowledge of such as cloning. I could stand to us “ME” a little bit more which I have been slowly doing more and more. If I had to assign it a number I would say a 6 or 7 out of 10. Extra notes:

I have played this background actually. He is my only character. I let the actual game events create his story. It works rather well to be honest. I was found working in med bay as at the age of 23. The AI reported me to NT and a duty officer was sent. I was fired and sent back to Earth. The next round I adjusted my age and added my educational background and was even asked about it in game. The story actually went rather smooth.

I simply put what my character has been through since being on the station. Everything that was typed had actually happened in game. Also, I'm fairly certain that a doctor graduating top of their class at Harvard Med would likely get hired by NT. As for the Earth being the characters hometown. That is clearly a typo. Since no one alive today is ever used to type, "home planet."
