When are you on Aurora?:

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.
