Additionally to Lordfowl’s statements, please do consult with the CCIA and Admins about throwing protohumans down disposals. We will be more than pleased to do something about it in a form of a policy or otherwise.

BYOND key: Soultheif96 Character names: How long have you been playing on Aurora?: 6 Months Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I was encouraged by multiple people to run for command as they see that I have skills to lead and also know in-depth of multiple departments but security. So, in this scenario, I wish to be on the whitelist as I am confident in my skills to lead and manage departments I am head of. Why did you come to Aurora?: I came to Aurora and SS13 as a whole because I was introduced to it by UnknownMurder, along with that, I came here because I enjoy the community and the roleplay atmosphere. Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: I have read the wiki regarding of the head roles along with the qualifications that follows with it. I plan to play as Chief Engineer, Research Director, and Chief Medical Officer as these roles are to what I am comfortable with. Head of Personnel is still questionable for me. Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? As you may see in the previous picture, it discusses that I need to stick to my character knowledge and also refrain from ganking as I did not escalate properly in the vampire round, lastly, the most recent one was regarding not taking notice of OOC knowledge and IC knowledge about seeing the SAT with a material/meson scanner combo. These are my only three warnings. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. Mhmm. Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about: Roleplay is like theater, you immerse yourself as your character, you take on their personality and background to help articulate your character to other characters ingame. As you articulate your character to others, you help formulate stories, friendships, and undergo the hardships of your character goes through. You develop a work-like atmosphere with others while enjoying yourselves. That is what role-play is like to me. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The OOC purpose of a head of staff is to help other players preform their duties in-game, make sure they are following regulations and doing their jobs properly. Through this, you aim to make sure your department is functioning properly and co-exist with other departments. If one person messes up, it is your responsibility to correct their mistake and act accordingly to their wrongdoings. If the mistake is severe, it comes down to you and command to decide what punishment would be for the person who committed the mistake. Outside that, it is notable to make sure you keep a professional atmosphere while being enjoyable. It is a game after all. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: The OOC responsibilities of a whitelisted player to other players is to be a role model for them, help them learn as they go on in there play. You are the mentor, there to help teach them how to do their job and well. I aim to be sincere but stern as a head of staff as no body likes a jerk for a head of staff. (Not speaking about Gonzales, he does it well and it still amazes me.) It is your responsibility to act as a the boss of your workplace to make sure that they are not screwing around, with exception of interacting with others in public spaces. Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau Ceti and how it affected your character and their career? Currently what happened in Tau Ceti now is that the Aut'akh has arrived in New Gibson and we have received a flock of new employees for NanoTrasen, along with that, we have Off-Worlders (Or spacers in the situation). As for the situation in Tau Ceti, particularly the Republic of Biesel, it is a little unstable as there are multitudes of scenarios that caused issues for the Republic. Generally, ORION is a free Baseline IPC that was once NanoTrasen's central intelligence and some people remember the unit from before, so it understands how command works and how to make command-level decisions on the level with synthetic subordinates. ORION looks forward to elevating itself to a higher position in order to effectively lead engineering and also carry out its duties as a primary engine technician and atmospherics technician. Along with this, it can help teach those who are willing to learn from their senior engineers. NanoTrasen would be comfortable with ORION in position as they know it can operate at a command level and delegate duties to its subordinates. I would say that ORION would suggest a more logical approach at problems and provide solutions that may be much more rational. To translate that to story telling, would be in a midst of chaos, ORION would be at the back, discerning how to best resolve the issue with command and its available assets. As per directives of the unit, ORION would see to it that engineering is ran with optimal effectiveness while letting the organic counterparts carry on their own needs, as long as it does not conflict with work. ========== Akin to ORION, Sterben is a new character of mine who acts more in NanoTrasen's favor while willing to err a bit to allow crew members to learn. Sterben will lay down the hand if absolutely necessary. I have ran with Senior Surgeon lately with him and used the title to direct medical when they need guidance. The title is just additional access and something to let peeps know they can ask questions or when they mess up, they can ask me. What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? Chief Medical Officer and Chief Engineer. Potentially other roles but never Head of Security. Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking: Chief Engineer - ORION, Baseline IPC. Chief Medical Officer - Sterben, Baseline IPC. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I would rate it as a 7/10, with room to improve. Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? I understand that the whitelist is not permanent and can be stripped followed by administrative action. Have you familiarize yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Yes. Extra notes: I have thought on my behavior in game and made adjustments to prevent myself from erring over the line of meta/powergaming.

After speaking with Ornias, I have decided to not let Wayland and Ryder be elevated, however, I am going to elevate ORION. Here is how it will be done for it. "Generally, ORION is a free Baseline IPC that was once NanoTrasen's central intelligence and some people remember the unit from before, so it understands how command works and how to make command-level decisions on the level with synthetic subordinates.

I can vouch for Dark1Star’s roleplayability and do see the potential for him to expand into other species, IPC being a good first step for him. I have to agree with Allakai’s points here. So, you have my +1

Relatively new so I am going to draft up one soon.

In this case, I will make a different character other than Wayland Mayfly.

If I can discribe both characters at once with one word. Unique. You somehow managed to make a very unique character named Mira Akhandi. From my experience with her, it is a pleasure interacting, and has made me more curious about her. Outside that, I am trying to figure out how a lab assistant can be so brilliant with telescience and R&D while not being an actual scientist as NanoTrasen should see fit, not regarding the muteness the character carries.

Obligatory attachment so you can take the feedback elsewhere or link it to it.

Ryder Louis Philips: Brief: Ryder L. Philips lives in Phoenixport, Biesel by himself. Outside of his work, he actively keeps up with the affairs occuring in Sol Alliance and do home-made chemistry projects. Ryder does enjoy teaching new chemists on NSS Aurora, and also does his best to try and help medical, but has been cutting back lately as his co-workers were talking behind his back. This did push him to do a month contract with SolGov so he can work on medical research, but came back less social due to be traumatized by what he has done. Medical Records: Employment Records: Security Records: ORION: Brief: ORION in its past was an AI, but through listening in to Oscar O'Neil's preaching and also discussing of ORION's possibility to freedom, the unit pressed NanoTrasen whether it can be made into an IPC unit, which the unit did succeed in. Now it is free due to paying off the debt as per construction of an IPC. The personality quirk behind ORION is the overtly snarky attitude in a robotic manner towards those who doubt its ability to perform the job. Medical Records: Employment Records: Security Records: Flamel: Brief: Flamel was a recently created IPC fitted for medical and research use and is bound to NanoTrasen. Its personality quirk the formal approach towards things while having little to no regard for ethics in its research simply because it wants to see the outcome of it and report the findings to NanoTrasen. Flamel is very skilled in chemistry and aims to have little to no waste being made, same applied to research materials. Medical Records: Employment Records: Security Records: Wayland Mayfly: Brief: Wayland Mayfly is a Spacer who lives in Mendell City, District 11, and is actively taking medication to adjust to the gravity. His personality is rather to the point and serious around non-spacers, but around spacers, he is rather out-going and chilled out. Outside his work, he is a bookworm and enjoys going to District 7 for the nightlife. In his workplace, he cares about efficiency so he can get the job done and also work with other researchers on-board with their projects, and on the side, he does tinker with electronics to improve their effectiveness. Medical Records: Employment Records: Security Records:

Through reading the feedback here, I understand the mistakes and slight disregard of the rules from time to time that I have made and will sit down to think how will I improve for the future. I will also be making a post that will include character feedback so I can fix and improve my characters that I frequent often. I have received feedback based on Flamel, seeing that even if he made great strides in research as he was intended to be, a medical and research IPC, but realizing it is overbearing and near-human like. So, in this case, I have restricted him to scientist and biochemist roles as it give it a specific area to work in. As for helping medical, peer pressure got to me and I should have just not went in the first place and blocked with a phrase of, "I am not programmed to do surgery of that level, sir/madame [name]," and walk off. As for Ryder, I spoke ICly that I will be restricting myself to my lab and not help at all unless I am absolutely need for medical resident things like strip down a corpse for post-cloning, prepare a patient for surgery with anesthetics, and handle basic medical care for when medical gets swamped. Regarding the crate of syringer and grenades, with some feedback, I have decided to not touch those unless I am using the grenades for medical experimentation or a legitimate cause to bring it up when the round turns hectic, outside that, will just leave it in the bottom level. For my newest character, Wayland Mayfly, god I love him for the things I do, my whole vision on him was weapons development, and with that comes with rather high levels of R&D in order to get what I want in order to experiment with weapons. I won't justify the SSD part as it was wrong of me to do so, outside stripping off the essentials for the next roboticist, and being reminded again not to do that will stick. I will admit that I do rush R&D at round start because it generally takes 20 minutes to get it out of the way and be able to let roboticists do their job, along with the xenobiologists, seeing they need freeze rays as of late. Certain miners also utilize me for mining equipment as it does help them do their job effectively and bring back larger yields. However, I do plan to curb ball those who requests for circuitry and parts for certain machines like the autolathe or the circuit board printer as it does enable other players to create their own things to better themselves. Like what I do with people asking for chemicals, I ask the characters to provide me a form filled out stating why they need these things and also have heads of staff's approval before they can use the said equipment/chemicals. I will speak from Wayland's perspective on illegal research as he done loads of times. NSS Aurora is a research facility for NanoTrasen and is to be treated as such, and with research comes potential to delve into fields of knowledge that would be taboo or illegal in certain areas of the known universe simply because it is dangerous in the wrong hands. In order to progress with research in the known field, his goal is to get into anything in order to advance in technology and report his findings to NanoTrasen. As mention before, Wayland is a weapons developer, so he only focuses on manufacturing tools for killing and disabling the opponent. This type of field is generally frowned upon and is met with criticism. Illegal technologies such as the binary encryption key to stationbound communication and the holographic clothing/weapon kits for infiltration uses are rather dangerous if used correctly. One would be highly beneficial in Malf Rounds, while the other would be beneficial in any other game mode as people would just only glance at you and move on. But what is more tangible for Wayland is weapon modules such as the Gatling cycler and energy net modulator. Without advancing in illegal technologies and other areas, he would not be able to get these items. He is currently experimenting on these. If they were an issue to pursue, it could be one's duty to ICly impede one's research by rejecting his requests for specific things and file incidents on him to prevent him from going down these routes as character themselves would see it can be very dangerous. Some scientists on NSS Aurora have injunction forms on them to prevent them from doing certain actions and instead of being an OOC issue, press it to be an IC issue so that I face a certain challenge. As for upgrading machines and handing out items like experimental welding tools and nanopaste, I see these as beneficial to the station's crew and don't see the issue of handing them out. It is a scientist's role to upgrade machines around the station for better use such as the cloning pod to churn out nearly perfect clones, the robot rechargers for moderate healing and better charge. It does state so explicitly in the scientist's page. Other characters can refuse the upgrades when I ask them, or just outright tell me not to do it at all so that others can face a challenge in the roleplay. However, I cannot stop upgrading robotics general because many research directors and roboticists had made it an ingrained procedure that it is also seen fit for me to carry it on as well. Outside of the underlying issues and onto upgrade several characters. I am hesitant on upgrading Ryder as he can be overburdening so I will make a CMO model character instead, or not at all. ORION on the other hand, has been a pleasure to play as purely for the IPC personality I gave. It carries on a snarky in a robotic fashion and does not refer itself as he, but it or this unit. I do see ORION fit for Chief Engineer role simply because of his deep understanding of the engines and atmospherics. ORION is deeply driven by Chief Engineers before it and wants to improve itself to become one. With that being said, it would allow me to teach new engineers and improve other engineers on these fields. Heads of staff is a role of authority but also a role of being a mentor to others, and I intend to teach as well. As for Wayland Mayfly, in the perspective of NanoTrasen, they are hesitant on letting him onto Research Director since he is a new addition to the crew, however, he was a research director in the weapon development division on the Scarab Fleet and would be interested on how that can translate to NanoTrasen's expectations of a Research Director. In his perspective, he does feel like it is a downgrade from his previous position and would want to try his efforts with NanoTrasen to bring himself back up, help regulate and lead the research on NSS Aurora. ====================================== Outside of these feedbacks, I will see to it on how to improve and also create a feedback post for each of my characters and hope to use those criticism to better regulate my characters. Thank you for taking the time to provide the honest opinions as it has been informative to me.

BYOND key: Soultheif96 Character names: How long have you been playing on Aurora?: 5 months and a half. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I was encouraged by multiple people to run for command as they see that I have skills to lead and also know in-depth of multiple departments but security. So, in this scenario, I wish to be on the whitelist as I am confident in my skills to lead and manage departments I am head of.

Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? As you may see in the previous picture, it discusses that I need to stick to my character knowledge and also refrain from ganking as I did not escalate properly in the vampire round. These are my only two warnings. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each.

Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau Ceti and how it affected your character and their career? Currently what happened in Tau Ceti now is that the Aut'akh has arrived in New Gibson and we have received a flock of new employees for NanoTrasen, along with that, we have Off-Worlders (Or spacers in the situation). As for the situation in Tau Ceti, particularly the Republic of Biesel, it is a little unstable as there are multitudes of scenarios that caused issues for the Republic. Wayland Mayfly is a newcomer to NanoTrasen but has experience as a Research Director for the Scarab Fleet in Weapons Development division. As a newcomer, NanoTrasen may be skeptical with his work performance on NSS Aurora but may permit him to lead, under supervision. His current residence is on Biesel, Mendell City, District 12, where he is surrounded by brilliant minded people and is able to learn from them and practice his Tau Ceti Basic language skills. He does frequent District 7 for the night life on his spare time away from NSS Aurora and The Scarab Fleet. Ryder Philips has been in NanoTrasen for over 8 years and has been with the megacorperation for a long time as a Pharmacist, through his time, he has learn how lead and manage his workplace. However, he has recently worked with Sol Gov under contract for a month for medical research that he cannot disclose due to a loyalty implant preventing him from doing so. He currently lives in Phoenixport, where he enjoys the steady life and actively work to better improve himself to become a Chief Medical Officer. Ryder is still not over his recently deceased husband. ORION was a stationbound central intelligence recently implemented into a integrated positronic chassis. During its time as an engineering unit, it has massively improved on its skills with the workings of the engines available to it, while actively learning atmospherics. It draws its knowledge from his time as an AI through the engineering database, however, majority of it knowledge is barred behind series of firewalls implemented by NanoTrasen to prevent it from overreaching or sharing exploitable information that compromises the megacorperation. ORION has been given freedom, but the unit still faces harsh discrimination from people around him as it is an IPC. The unit requested NanoTrasen if it can become a Chief Engineer. What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? Research Director, Chief Medical Officer, and Chief Engineer. Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking: Research Director - Wayland Mayfly, Scarab Fleet Off-Worlder. Chief Medical Officer - Ryder Philips, Solarian Human. Chief Engineer - ORION, Baseline IPC. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I would rate it as a 7/10, with room to improve. Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? I understand that the whitelist is not permanent and can be stripped followed by administrative action. Have you familiarize yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Yes. Extra notes: I am acting on request by multiple people to run for command whitelist and in hopes that I can become head of staff. Additionally, I am undergoing trial phase as CCIA so I am still be tested for it.

Noted.

As a main R&D and Weapons Manufaturing Scientist, I will have to agree wholeheartedly with Jupiter’s statements here as I have been seeing an increase in hostility between departments. My usual requests are 10 sheets of each exotic materials and 1 stack of glass and metal, followed by three thermal drills and two lazarus injectors in order to carry out maximazation of research levels to satisfy the department’s needs. Afterwards, I usually then let all things fall into order with personal research and satisfying the crew’s demands. I have been seeing neglect of duty as of late and I am not pleased with that as it inhibits other player’s playability unless there is a fair reasoning ICly or OOCly. So, all in all, I agree wholeheartedly with Jupiter.

I will say that I agree with the rest of people here as you hit spot on with most of the narratives involving synthetic lore and I hope to see you become a synthetic lore deputy. So here is my +1

CCIA Staff Application Basic Information Byond key: Soultheif96 Character names: Character Mains: ORION - A free Baseline IPC Engine Technician who used to be an AI. Flamel - I love this guy, he is a Bishop Accessory IPC who does medical and scientific research, which are all borderline unethical. Jacob Philips - An untagged Shell IPC Quartermaster who does things behind the curtain in favor of his crew members in cargo. Former main: Ryder Philips - A Solarian Pharmacist that has a building ego, planning to send him off later. Age: 20 Timezone: East Coast Timeframe during Fall to Spring, West Coast Timeframe during Summer. What times are you most available?: On weekdays, 7:00 PM to 12:00 PM, on weekends, 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM Experience: How long have you played SS13?: Around the third week of November, 2018. How long have you played on Aurora?: Four and a half months. How active on the forums, discord and/or server are you?: I am active in the the discord channels, but not so much in the forums. I do check the forums for important posts that concern me or other players. I did help medical by suggesting the merge between virology and chemistry, credit to Jackboot. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: No, I have not been banned, but I do have two warnings. One was moving out of my character's knowledge. The other was killing a security officer as a vampire without proper escalation. Have you ever volunteered as moderation staff for any other servers, SS13 or otherwise?: I have not volunteered for any moderation staff. However, I was one of the PvP heads for a guild in World of Warcraft, I forgot the name now since it has been a while I played. Do you have any other experience that you believe would be relevant to a position in the CCIA?: I doubt that it would be relevant to a position in the CCIA besides correcting players for their behavior before referring them to my supervisions. Personality Why do you want to join the CCIA?: I have made observations over players during my time as an AI, and I witnessed what would be a very interesting situation report between the Captain and the HoS, keeping their names for confidentiality. From there, I got interested in the work of what CCIA and IA does. I look ahead of the concept of firing the individual(s), and more into how can they make amends. Perhaps it can help me understand how the station operates from a different perspective. What do you think are the most important qualities for a CCIA Agent to possess?: Patience, being attentive to the details of the situation given to you, and being an unbiased mediator between two parties. Also, keep OOC separate from IC to prevent conflict between yourself and other players, or you will compromise yourself and likely become biased. What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is in an ongoing round?: The purpose of a CCIAA is to keep in touch with the command by faxes, reacting responsibly to the situation occurring in the round, and work as either a supporter to the antags (Loyalists in Revolution), or as a opposing factor if the situation has gone out of control (Mercenaries has seized control of the station, or a quarantine is needed if a traitor science released k'ois, I can go on.) What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is outside of the server?: The purpose of the CCIAA OOC-wise is to help moderate the characters by having an IC effect on them, and keep the story going between the crew affected by CCIA involvement. Given my observation of what occurred between CCIA and the player of question, the player's actions were different afterward. One such scenario was a Research Director who has an injunction to not preform tests on live subjects. How do you handle stress?: It depends on the scenario I am given that affects my stress. I work fine under pressure due to deadlines. Paperwork is just a fill and double-check to make sure it is properly filled out. How well do you work autonomously?: It depends on what I am given to work with, I can work well autonomously if I am working with 5 or less people, if more, I may require a second person to make sure all is well. Additional Notes: Though it may be irrelevant, but through playing my Quartermaster, I have learned the importance of paperwork and why it must be properly written. Besides that, how else would I make a properly forged document that permits cargo to have firearms, that was fun. Outside that, I rarely cause issues with others ICly, yet. As for my OOC rule breaking, I have been keeping myself in check since. Thank you for your time.

Hello, it has been brought up to me recently about the qualifications of a chemist/pharmacist, along with an old suggestion post, regarding of easing the two jobs of chemistry and virology, creating a Bio-Physician. Apply link to old suggestion post and also giving credit to Jackboot for the concept: However, given some looking through and analyzing, I will be cutting out the remapping and and suggestion to move chemist to R&D as it is a long time discussed topic irrelevant to this matter. BEGIN QUOTE: "1) Virology is crippled by over-specialization and is not fun to play. 2) The two roles in the [chemistry laboratory] of Pharmacist and Chemist are so similar that making them distinct from a functional perspective would have to be very anal and lame and not fun. So I had the thought that combining the chemist and virologist into the new Bio-Physician, while leaving the pharmacist alone, would solve both of these issues. This would give chemistry two jobs: Pharmacist and Bio-Physician. Justification: (lore) Over 400 years of bacteria becoming anti-biotic resistant, and diseases evolving at a rapid pace in general, pharmacists and virologists worked in tandem more and more over the years and became so intertwined that they were eventually merged into a new, advanced curriculum. Bio-Physician, merging Biochemistry and Physician. (gameplay) Virologists' abilities to engineer new viruses is circumstantial and a dead end. Even if they create killer viruses or beneficial viruses, they can't release them. The only functional and consistent duties of a virologist is to cure outbreaks. These outbreaks are rare. We are struck with a plague of understaffed virologists that no one misses until we need them. Having what is functionally a chemist who moonlights as a virologist gives players something to do at all times. The Role Itself Bio-Physician. Must be 30 years old. M.D. and/or Ph.D. +2 years of residency and/or 4 years of work in related R&D [and/or Medical related degree]. They can do chemistry (hello) and general MD-lite duties similar to an Emergency Physician, [Will not be doing surgery at all, what so ever]. That means they can stabilize people, use sleepers, use cryogenic cells, and clone [This is debatable but one can suggest that if they under biochemistry, they should at least know how to clone]. They really shouldn't and they probably won't have time to, but the option is there if you need all hands on deck for mass casualties. The pharmacist would remain the same. They will not have to worry about all this virology business and are happy just making Alkysine, thanks. I'll source the links below, but my brief research into the topic showed that there are already correlations between pharmacists and virology, and that some studies are suggesting making the two roles work closer together even now in [2019]. Pharmacists are already meant to immunize people against infection, so expanding this to handle the research and curing of viruses is a natural end-state. Being a sci-fi setting we have a blank check to take this concept and run with it full steam." END QUOTE: The purpose of this role is to fulfill the occasional void of a virologist in times of when a virus is going around and can preform medical duties if required in a medical situation. I very often see chemists and virologists avoid helping out the medical team because job limitations restrict them even though they can act as a medical intern. Should there ever be a virus, this role can fulfill it. Additionally, if there is a medical doctor, this role should let the doctor do their job but if asked, it will preform as a MD-lite. Lastly, for wiki administrator's use, apply guides of chemistry, virology, and medicine for quick access and detailing the specifics of what this job can do so there is no overlap to prevent other player's play. EDIT: Adding to the suggestion, a 5-day whitelist should be added to prevent in-experienced players from entering this position like the AI has. Given the qualities of the position, it is abusable.

BYOND Key: Soultheif96 Character Names: Ryder Philips, ORION, Kevin Philips, Payton Owen, Archie Simmons (Others are either less notable or not played often) Species you are applying to play: IPC What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Exempt 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: Both in game and IRL, I am fascinated by robotics and the concept of artificial intelligence. I have been playing ORION for quite some time now to a point where I want to experience more of what a free synthetic would be like and how I would interact with the crew. Solely from interacting with other IPCs, I am find it amusing to see how detailed they are once you go into their backstory in conversations. I hope to start here as a stepping stone to other species. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: IPCs are made and owned by its creator until they pay off the cost of their development, thus they have to prove that they are worthy enough to be left on its own. Due to distrust from anti-synthetics, interaction with them would prove to be discerning but opens a window to understand why they deeply distrust synthetics, even freed ones. IPCs is a complex design of pure circuit and technological genius manufactured by Skrell and Human scientists, making them theoretical and analytical beings who approach their problems with cold logic. Character Name: NT-E117 Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs. NT-E117 is the creator's name for the unit, an abbreviation of NanoTrasen Engineering Unit 117, for when programmers and technicians pull up its log. During its time as a shell and AI codenamed ORION for simplicity, its positronic brain has been storing massive databanks of the interaction between crew and the departmental jobs, it underwent a time where it questioned itself and the concept of its freedom while talking with an individual named Oscar O'Neil, Priest of The Trinary Perfection. After asking questions to crewmembers, ORION has received mixed reactions and attempted to make sense of these behaviors toward itself and other synthetics. ORION then asked a programmer if the unit could be freed, in which the programmer responded that the unit can be placed into an IPC chassis, and explained the process to it. ORION decided that it would like to gain its own independence but would like to continue working with NanoTrasen. After the discussion, Central Command decided that with ORION's usefulness on NSS Aurora, it has earned its opportunity to be upgraded. Upon its transfer from a shell to the Hephaestus Industrial Model IPC, with the engineering databanks and its memory core placed into it upon request of ORION itself. The unit now then worked his debt of the chassis off through engineering assignments across NanoTrasen operated space. ORION then been unshackled and assigned to NSS Aurora's Engineering department. On ORION's free time, it continues to process its conversation with O'Neil and studies synthetic history to understand how they came to be and why is the concept of freedom difficult to earn as a synthetic. Outside of that, it keeps up with the advancement in the engineering field and works on private construction projects to itself pre-occupied. What do you like about this character? What I like about NT-E117/ORION is that it would make interactions with the crew interesting and hopefully enjoyable. I want to see it grow and perhaps see how far I can get with my creation and hopefully rival my main, Ryder Philip's backstory. How would you rate your role-playing ability? In truth, I am unsure how well I role-play with other players but I'll say I give it a 7/10. I am sure someone else could testify on my behalf on this. Notes: If anyone has any objections to the continuation of ORION, I can modify the name and backstory as a completely different unit for this matter as I desire to play something else other than the typical human.
