Melariara

Gillian is a very solid RPer who I think would do great as an IPC. And it'll be nice not to see another IRU oh god don't hate me This'll be really nice to see. +1

+1ing this considering I've always seen Riu with a wielding mask and it makes sense, considering he's an Unathi and all. Also liking the red at the bottom, like its his mask he wears WHILE in engineering.

+1. This man is scary. He knows EXACTLY how to get people to get that Idris(tm) smile, colleague. Puts a HECK of a lot of effort into his emotes, almost scarily so and does it so masterfully. He's a freaking genius on this character and I'd love to see him around all the time.

+1 Have commanded with him for a few rounds. He always seems to be on the ball with his commanding. He knows what he's doing while babysitting all the engineers.

Thank you ❤️

Dear lord, here we go... Basic Information Byond Account: Melariara Character Name(s): Most used Adelina Valdemar - Surgeon/CMO Naledi Ahmehlo - Dregineer Zapper - Borg Nyoom - pAI Rarely used Viva Carrington - Sec Officer Arielle Matson - Drill Tech Kathleen Charon - Pharmacist Aissa Pemba - Roboticist AI Name(s): N/A Discord username + tag: Mel#6284 Age: 31 Timezone: GMT +8 When are you on Aurora?: Some days, all day. Other days, early morning for one and a bit rounds, then in the evening. Experience How long have you played SS13?: Like, six months, maybe seven. How long have you played on Aurora: All but two weeks of above time. How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: I like to think I know a lot about medicine and the medical department. I'm getting more confident at engineering (Love you Naledi), but I feel I could use some more departmental knowledge elsewhere, and I'm happy to learn to do those. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: Not at all. Have you read through the criteria thread; https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4198 - and believe that you mark off all the criteria?: Yes, I believe so. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: No, for I am an innocent flower. Personality Why do you play SS13?: I play SS13 because of the escapism it brings. Being able to put my mind into someone else, and do something I would never be able to do in real life, with a lot less effort is fun. The stupid shenanigans that happen as well are enjoyable and the environment is just generally run. Why do you play on Aurora?: I love roleplaying. I've been roleplaying in fantasy games for about half my life now, more, always in text based roleplaying. I was suggested this game by friends who no longer play, I believe, but I have kept to it and made new friends who I enjoy being around and spending time with. What do moderators do?: Help take care of the community and kick out the inevitable bad people that come along to ruin other peoples fun. Also babysit the admins when they need their hand held. What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: Helping out the people that need it, looking in depth into issues that come up and knowing when to take a step back, should it be needed, for your/my own sanity. Also knowing when to apply the GRUMP and when not to. Why do you want to be a moderator?: Because I really enjoy helping people out, as best I can. I enjoy this server, I enjoy almost all the people on it and I don't want to see the server go to shit because of lack of people around to moderate it. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I have experience in helper type roles before. I was a novice guide in one of my MUDs. I've been a moderator on a private WoW server and also a raid leader in current content in World of Warcraft (0/10 would not recommend). I am also going to be trained for supervisor/managerial duties at my own place of work within the next week. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: Sometimes it doesn't even phase me, other times I get really worked up by it (Like being CMO for instance.) I am trying to do better, and am happy to step away if it builds up too much. Anything Else You Want to Add: Don't hesitate to reach out if there are more questions that need asking, or clarification.

The fact that they can be passed around and around with a quick transaction. Not being treated nicely by a lot of people, constant racism towards others. Skrell in particular would see them with some scorn, because obviously artificial intelligence is a big thing for them. Being treated like an object by some, hurt, beaten and abused by some, but cared for and treated normally by others. Cautery is four years old. As spoken about on discord, manufactured at Heph then programmed at Zeng Hu in joint effort. Cautery is aware her existence isn't natural, and is aware that she's probably going to get some slack for her very presence from some (mainly skrell). But she has a job to do and goshdarnit she's going to do it. As for being owned, I guess I personally like the pseudo freedom, or maybe like the idea of someone going all Zoomyeyes on her. AH ok!

BYOND Key: Melariara Character Names: Adelina Valdemar, CMO/Surgeon Zapper, Cyborg Naledi Ahmehlo, Engineering Apprentice Nyoom, pAI. Species you are applying to play: IPC What color do you plan on making your first alien character: IPC's exempt (Lowkey some sort of orange though, with orange screen) 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: Honestly was inspired by seeing Scalpel and Hemostat in a round together recently. They were doing LESS THAN ETHICAL things and was like, hey, that's pretty cool. Then Soultheif, one of the players behind one of them, brought up a list of things about all the others and I genuinely liked the idea for one so much I spent the entire freaking night thinking about it, so here we are. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Having different emotions, or lack there of, will be an interesting take on being human. Having different things to worry about also, such as EVA suits and cooling packs (holy crap that was a pain when controlling the remote robot in the bunker). It'll also be nice to know all of that. Walking calmly as well and not being able to run without burning up horribly will be interesting as a baseline, but the EXTREME SPEED of a Zeng Hu Mobility will be hilarious. Going into robotics when getting injured as well will be a super big thing as well, and will probably be a hard habit to break, also not being put to sleep and having a fun conversation. Character Name: Cautery Please provide a short backstory for this character. Cautery is an four year old baseline created for the purpose of chemistry. Shortly after her creation, there was a fire in the science department where she was made, which spread quickly and suddenly, and as a result her positronic was exposed to extreme heat which caused her to develop a fascination with fire. Her actions in her first few months caused her to undergo almost non routine maintenance due to constantly setting things on fire. Since then, the urge only pops up under extremely stressful circumstances, or if there is a fire of some sort around her. Originally created by NT for basic chemist duties, she was shoved around, station to ship, ship to station, fitting in as needed, given only a few days off at a time. During those few days off, she would attempt to gain temporary jobs around whatever civilization was closest, fulfilling duties needed of a chemist or pharmacist, attempting to gain extra cash. All her funds were funnelled towards buying her own freedom, which she has successfully achieved very recently. Now that she has her freedom, she's bartering her skills off, still taking odd jobs on the side, but not really caring as much about the morality? Happy to make thermite (obviously) for the right price. Her screen has a candle, campfire or bonfire on her display (and now I want to make a custom IPC screen for it but I'm so bad at life). What do you like about this character? I love the idea that she's calm and collected, just sitting around, making chems then someone asking her to make something, screen lifting so slightly, delicate fingers stopping on whatever they're doing, and her just giving the attitude of, "You want me, to make that?" The thought of being an IPC that just doesn't take shit from anyone is a fun thought, but being calm as she does it (Until fire is involved, IE, when she gets traitor or something.) How would you rate your role-playing ability? I hope its good, but I'm a baddy and judge myself at a six or seven. Notes: I need to shank Stryker.
