Hi ya'll. Howdy do and what not. So coming from someone who's been here for what... 3 months or so? I can't say a ton about the long history of Aurora. Though I can say that my experience has been heavily mixed. When I first joined I knew incredibly little about the game. In fact my very first round was playing as a medical resident. I knew absolutely no game mechanics. I really had no clue what I was doing but I actually had a couple friendly players go out of their way to help a clearly struggling new player with medical (Though I still quit the job because well it was daunting and I was still incredibly new) Jumping forward to about a month, like I said, I have had a mixed teaching. Sometimes a lot of things I had to learn and/or teach myself. Though either because of luck or something as such I always had a friendly face onboard that would be more than willing to teach me something that I didn't know much about. Sometimes I would get the offhand feeling I was being a nuisance or annoying to deal with given how little I understood the game. Yet never outwardly shown such feelings. Now, anyway, getting to the idea of clique friends/ friendships/ etc. Maybe its just me, but given my most recognizable (Zahra Mrakiizar) I do say that I have plenty of interaction with the rest of the crew. I know that many roles and positions get the short end of the stick when it comes to roleplaying, and as such I really do try and make friends with everyone. Because nothing hurts more than having a character that you like and think is great roleplay material, but has no friends. My only real complaint of the community is the low key hostility towards each other. While I do have complaints against some players (mainly for poor IC stuff and SOMETIMES poor OOC behavior) I don't actually have anyone I actually dislike. As someone that is still relatively new to the community I just see a lot of general annoyance and irritation towards each other and a general lack of communication at times. I hope this long winded and honestly all over the place response sheds some light on my feelings about this and if I need to clarify anything I'd be more than happy to say :^)

Oh hi, Fresh. As a player that interacts with Fresh both ICly and OOCly he proves himself to be a competent, helpful, and incredibly fun player and generally great person. I believe with certainty that Ztak would be a fun bug to interact with. I give a solid +1 in agreement and mad respects to Fresh on his quest to explore all the alien species Aurora has to offer. :^)

eh.. jackboots are ok... but what bout them workboots? +1 for idea... - 1 for failure of being a shoeist. Smh… Let robots choose what they want for footwear damnit ?

Im actually on board with this. Given drones are, by name, maintenance drone. You'd think they would be equipped with at least built in mesons to help see where the damage is!

While I do not believe I am familiar with Dead's characters (Ithink Ismail ibn iman al-farsi is a doctor and I've interacted with them once) that really isn't an issue. Now lets get to regarding the app. I'll be honest I'm not very deep into IPC lore, but I do have enough in-game experience to know how the different species interact with IPCs and this speaks volume. I do have a question when it comes to Columbus' reaction to other species. Will he be completely soulless when it comes to shrugging off the hatred given to him by others? How would he react when it comes to those that go out of their way to show an IPC kindness? Hatred? Unjustified violence? He is a machine yes, but as you stated he questions what he is. These are great traits for an IPC and I am curious to see how else you will develop him. Good luck with your application and I give a humble +1 as I wish to see this go through.

As someone that interacts with his characters consistently I can say that Dino is a great roleplayer. He keeps to his character's story and I don't think ever has broken my sense of disbelief when it comes to roleplay. Given my most interaction is with his warden, Erick Silva, I do think they understand the chain of command and knowing how to properly react during a high risk situation when threats to the station are on board. I don't have or see any many glaring issues with this application. While minor, I do agree with VT had stated. But they have already responded with stating they will in fact be reading up on the lore. All in all I give my humble support to Dino and believe they are a respectable member of this community as well as a perfectly capable player for taking the reigns of a command position.

Pretty solid app. I enjoy and love MoonDancer's characters when I do get to interact with them time to time. Though I do have one quick question regarding Ruzha's character, what of their religion? Tajara are serious about their beliefs and how they view other species. How will she approach that? All in all a very spectacular app. A +1 from me.

As a security player I certainly like the idea. Maybe if it was something where the person is on the ground from being stunned then yes. A quicker cuffing process I would love and certainly get behind. +1 from me :^)

Great work as always Burger! Love the design as red dock is always cramped. Will make it feel a lot nice when everything is blowing up :^)

eyy whats up. So I interact with Essh a absolute ton as Zahra Mrakiizar. Xeno is GREAT when they play! I love every single second of rping with them and can with all seriousness say that Xeno is a great roleplayer! Absolute solid +1 from me!

I absolutely love Sandvich and his roleplay. He is pleasant to experience in all shape way and form! Though it does come off as a little TOO goofy at times, I don't mind whatsoever. His interactions with my character: Jazmine Hoover, is wonderful. I truly get a giant grin when I get to roleplay with his characters and would absolutely LOVE to see more of his Dionae in action. An extremely strong +1 from me!

I've been on Aurora for about a month or so. I've really only recently as in the last two weeks become more involved with Willow and truthfully? I have no issues with her. I certainly will say that she is one of those characters that when they're onboard, you'll notice. But I don't mean that in a bad way. When involved with my characters (usually Jazmine) its always great. I've always noticed Willow as the trouble maker of the station. She always gets into fights or always as some sort of issue with someone, but is that a bad thing? Not at all! Personally I think Willow Harper is a great character. Certainly I agree with others that she might need to be less I guess robust, but aside from that I have zero issues with her!

and there we go added a new paragraph describing what exactly happened to Mo'Sai and changed litter mate to sibling

okay! Thank you I will get to that as soon as possible!

This is something I cannot agree enough with. Often times I find myself really annoyed when something is going to absolute shit and the civilians are not told until it is almost too late. I can understand why RP wise and realistically sec doesn't say too much, like for example: "So guys don't panic or anything but there's someone who can shape shift and sucks the life out of you, this alien has already killed a doctor, one of the engineers, and a scientist, and right now we have no clue who it is now" It's a bad example but sometimes being a civilian is really crappy because often we're told to just sit in our departments and sit around which usually ends up hurting civilians in the long run. I.E. Cult has already gained a ton of power and juggernauts are smashing their way through walls and security hasn't said a damn thing. Just a mild annoyance but I do agree security needs to give at least some details on the situations because inherently not telling the crew what is happening when something is obviously amiss creates more panic. At least to me it does.

From the few times I've interacted with Nikit I've had no issues with him. But then again that's probably because generally I do not see him often enough as I would like. Either way I like the interactions I have with him and like the character

My voice may not matter much given my relatively young age here on the forum but I still want to give my appreciation. I absolutely appreciate everything Doxx me has done for someone as simple as me. A great example has to be my one round of rev. Generally I don't play antag but I joined the rev because it seemed fitting at the time and it still is my favorite round of antag of all time. Doxx was an ERT and when my character (Faith Wilkerson) willingly surrendered there wasn't shouting or rude talking. Instead, her trooper was kind and polite and helped my character relax as Faith truly felt remorse for what she had done and Doxx's character had actually supported her character when she was taken to the HoS during the evac. It truly shows that her characters give emotions and feelings and has to be an amazing point of roleplaying. OOC is also very respectful and is a true role model of what it means to be both an amazing role player as well as a respectful and helpful person. +1 from me

Mornin' guys (or whatever time of day it is for you). Hope you guys are doing well, so I have a handful of characters. About 4/5. But my main 3 are Jazmine and Samantha Hoover as well as my current character that I've been playing often: Security Officer Samantha Wilkerson. So I do my best to interact with everyone, I guess that makes her come off as nosy but generally I try to make her a fun character to play with and roleplay with. I do understand that my character isn't the most fun for sure and I would love some commentary to get some feedback to change her and grow her as needed. Thanks guys and hope you guys have a good day!

hey *snaps fingers and makes finger guns* Officer Wilkerson here. How ya doin' So for the last couple days I've had the ability to interact with Carmichael and I really do like his character. He seems to have a good head on his shoulder. What exactly kind of character are you trying to work him for? Sometimes he seems a bit more quiet than I would like but that's because I am talkative and annoying lol

I really do like the overall set up of your idea for the medbay. While I don't play the doctor roles. Certainly I find the set up pleasant during emergency situations in which security needs to come into medical. The lay out I love as it incorporates a generally more wider and open feel to the medical bay. I certainly like the entrance by the holodeck!

I am very sorry about my behavior. I got extremely heated about that entire situation. That was my fault for blowing up like that. I accept your judgement and will work to improve my behavior and better control myself next time. I am very sorry about that. Truly. I just take behavior like that way more personally than I'd like. I like this server a lot and I understand that was just one round. I understand what I did was wrong and will do better to improve my reaction to such an extremely rash over reaction. I am sorry for calling the antags extremely rude phrases and being inflammatory and unproductive with what I was doing and saying.

Okay! So after spending a couple hours taking in the commentary I've received I made notable changes and shifts in my OC's character (Let's call him Ra'Ja cause Im lazy and don't wanna pronounce his name) So I rewrote some things and kept most of it. I adjusted somethings in his bio for clarification and easier understanding as my first draft was immensely difficult to keep up with. I am always open for more critiques and commentary so please tell me if something doesn't make sense or should be looked at! Thank you so much, guys!

sweet! thanks a lot!

Hi all! Hope you guys are doing well. Currently I am still revising my Tajara white-list application and had a couple minor questions that I hope have some answers. Generally it just comes down to random little bitty stuff. First question I had was what battalions (if any specifically) do the People's Republic have? As my OC (a Zhan-Khazan) is of an ethnicity not seen in a favorable light, are the Zhan-Khazan that fight for the People's Republic in segregated regiments? I was working on putting something like this into Ra's military bio and his experience with prejudice but I am unsure if that is okay. Much less another being what is typical engagements like? I wrote in in his bio of combat on the frontlines being nitty-gritty melee combat and no one seemed to say anything about that. In my mind I imagine combat on Adhomai to be like that of combat during the winters of Russia or something similar. Ninja edit: fixed some words to make sense.
