alrighty!

Basic Information Byond Account: littlelilyflower Character Name(s): Summer Valiere, Seela Kluub, Tohru, Zoey Ester, Serenity Valiere AI Name(s): AI scary. Discord username + tag: Lilian#2045 Age: 32 Timezone: pst (But I don't have a typical..american sleep schedule.) When are you on Aurora?: Usually anywhere from 4pm to 4am. Those are my usual play periods. Experience How long have you played SS13?: I wanna say about a year? How long have you played on Aurora: I am never sure, my forum join date isn't indicative of my join date..I want to say its been a little under four months almost? How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: I know what I've learned from our server. It's my first time playing baystation, I was more aquainted with a very old TG code prior. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: I was a mod for Drymouth Gluch, a fallout server before Desert Rose killed it. Though most my time there was spent answering tickets, with very limited power to do much else. 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. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: No. Personality Why do you play SS13?: To roleplay, I'm actually fairly bad at it mechanically other than medical as I'm sure most people can attest too. Though I know a lot of the less used sciences, since I found those to be the funnest. Why do you play on Aurora?: mRP was a joke on the last server I played, but I enjoyed the idea of RPing on SS13 and wanted to play in a station-atmosphere and wanted one specifically that was hRP. My friend and I looked at this one and decided to given it a try. I liked it enough to be here writing this app now. What do moderators do?: Help enforce the rules and mediate disputes between players. What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: To be an example, to show that you are knowledgeable in both the rules and lore and to uphold the RP standards that have been set to foster the type of atmosphere desired. Why do you want to be a moderator?: don't know if I have an answer I would be happy with. But I am very critical of myself. Ultimately, I like to help the communities I am part of in some way. When I played NWN, I became a Community Support member, and later a Dev and DM. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I'm kind and patient typically. Of course, human, prone to mistakes. But generaly speaking I care about people and their fun. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: I handle anger and insults well enough, thanks to years of working in fast food and being managment..Stress is the one that I struggle with, but even then it takes some chipping away to actually make my stress levels get anywhere unreasonable. Anything Else You Want to Add: I do like to state I am dyslexic. I know reading logs is part of doing this and I know HOW ANNOYINGLY SMALL LOG TEXT can be with no dark mode it sucks. So what I am saying is..I will likely not be the fastest at ticket solving if only because of that, but I will always try my best.

Paradox helped me with my warbler, and has always been passionate about the race. I adore all the work they do and I think they will be great as the lore dev. +1

I was spoken too, I explained my reasoning! I had bribed one of the antags out and been keeping them out with non-violent means all round..I have actually since Lemi's comment been avoiding combat-focused methods. I only meant to distract, I thought the KA would do more to let me run away, I was /very/ wrong (If I knew how to make those lube grenades I would have gone that route to run away with as a distraction..but I don't know grenade construction since the science stuff I do know largely isn't for combat). I choose a non-lethal method for the exact reason of not winning a fight. After all, we had spent all round building those exosuits and quietly awaiting materials. It is something I know for the future, as that really was just to cause a distraction and run away so my roboticist team could keep their work and was done out of a panicking, desperate skrell (I had been emoting them being anxious though I think only one or two people would really have seen that). But after digesting, I think I see what I could do different next time I get thrusted in such a gimmic. I focus to much on the defense of my lab and the people in it, to a detriment.

Alright thank you ❤️

It was strictly what they threatened me with, which was acid. I had my AMI on, since going near an area with a blob under it to deliver an emitter to engineering to help with that. Given I thought they were going to use acid and that my suit would protect me, I thought calling for Sec would chase them off so I could resume my actual purpose being in the area..Giving a backup tool to engineering. HOWEVER, I was not aware that when they mentioned using acid, they really meant /shooting with plasma/. If I realized they were going to shoot me, I would have likely just let them be on their way. My goal was helping the station, as that for Seela takes priority (She always will value the option that has the less risk to crew. Calling ISD was meant to deter the antag.). I usually do play along with antags, and more often than not support them in someway. This one just happened to be on the way to what Seela considered the actual threat. Incidentally, in the end I don't think they even used the emitter. -- As for Lemi's response.. I mean, that was more a comical suggestion to watching something turn into a horrifying spider monster. I wouldn't actually *do it*. T-T.

FROGS ARE NOT DUMB GRRR..But you are a joy to RP with and I love interacting with Papa Sloan...Wait shoot, we're not there yet. Anyways, Shadow does a great job and I know he'll be an honourable scalie. +1.

who were you that round? I am dyslexic and when there is a lot going on sometimes it is easy for me to miss stuff, so it helps to know so I can know what specifically to pay better attention too.

Hepatica is a delight to roleplay with, I have always had good interactions with them across all their characters that I have come across. They are friendly and pretty knowledgeable, I think they'd be a good fit for command. +1

BYOND key: littlelilyflower Character names: Summer Valiere, Zoey Ester, Tohru, Seela Kluub How long have you been playing on Aurora?: I want to say three to four months now? My forum join date is a bad indicator since I didn't make it right away. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: Mostly I want to help provide RP with the departments I mostly play in..Which a lot of times seem to be very understaffed too..Which has been science lately, medical is mostly fine on that front. I think I would do a good job at it and so I want to give it a try. Why did you come to Aurora?: I roleplay most of the time as my main hobby. The last SS13 server I rped on was Drymouth glutch, which was a fallout server. After the server died, I wanted to keep RPing in SS13 and wanted to try an actual space-operaish setting and a friend of mine mentioned this server. Nether of us had played here before, so I am not sure where they heard about it. Gave the server a try, had a blast and have been here since! Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: Yep, all of em, even the ones I don't plan on playing! Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? Yes, just one. It was only a minor warning, and was for something that while I maintain was in character, that I understand I could have handled the situation better in-line with server expectations. 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: Roleplay is a medium of story-telling and improv-acting within any given setting..It is telling a story with a group of people and watching it all come together over the course of the session. It should be fun, it should be creative, and to most it is an escape. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: I think a Head of Staff is really meant to help facilitate RP within their department. They are not there to be the be-all-end-all to the department, but to provide their staff with a direction or goal, only really stepping in during cursed low-pop hours. I do honestly think they are meant to just support the station and the current going ons and the normal crew when it comes to staving off antag problems, and in place of no antags, creating something for their department to do. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: I think their main responsibility is to uphold the server expectations and once more, to help provide RP to other players. A lot of what I think their responsibilities are, are also tied into my above response..Just on an OOC level, I think whitelisted players are meant to be held to a higher standard and should help promote a friendly atmosphere, as opposed to just being some super-robust person who can do everything and not bother with the rest of the players currently in their department. Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau ceti and how it affected your character and their career? The main thing I think would be the conflict in District 6, Little Adhomai. Given that there has been a civil war going on which leads to such things like riots and what not. I cannot say it has effected Seela's career, one of my more focused upon characters currently..But, for like Summer, I have been RPing that she has recently gotten a job at one of the hospitals in Mendell that her sister works at. Given she is an EMT and the likely need for more first responders, she has been taking time away from working on Aurora to do work involving that. If I had to consider Zoey, her course of action would be to volunteer with IAC once again to also offer her own aid for relief in district 6. What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? RD and CMO, two departments I am comfortable enough in. Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking.: For RD, I plan on playing my skrell, Seela as an RD. I think she has the best mindset for it and while her main field of study was anomalous materials and xenoarcheology, she went to the grand university and thus has spent a good 40 years in school. The school has high expectations for even attending, wanting students able to be capable of basic chemistry and physics. For CMO, I may either play my former IAC surgeon, Zoey Ester, as a CMO..Or I may just make another skrell for CMO - this part I am not to terribly decided on. I also at one point considered playing Summer's sister as a CMO if I ever went for a whitelist, but out of the three options I am least fond of that one. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I really do not like to rate myself, not because of a lack of confidence..but because it is so subjective, and to me, roleplaying is a form of creative writing and I understand there are always ways to improve upon my roleplay. I can however say that I am super adaptable and don't mind having to change things occasionally to make something fit, I can also say I am very creative in general. Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Yes, and I believe this is completely reasonable. Have you familiarize yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Yep! Even for the ones I don't specifically plan on playing. Extra notes: warble.

I enjoy having Lynn as a captain, she is one of the more fun captains to RP with and she does well given that role... So let her waaarbleeeeee. +1

BYOND Key: littlelilyflower Character Names: Summer Valiere, Zoey Ester, Stanza, Tohru Species you are applying to play: Skrell What color do you plan on making your first alien character: yellow lilac Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Of course, Glorsh is the biggest jerk as an fyi. 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: After watching and interacting with the other skrell on the station, I took a look at their lore page - which I had already read part of due to playing an IPC, since I read about the Three Incidents - and realized that the race's lore is really fantastic and I just adore their overall theme. They are a race that I would most definitely enjoy a lot, also apparently I do several of their mannerisms with Summer (Mostly cliquals about stars; and I prolly butchered that word) Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Lets see, one of the things I like is that; Skrell express their emotions with different tones as well as their telepathic abilities. This is far different from humans, who rely on body language, facial expressions and their much more limited range of tone. Not only this, but they have a lot of other nuances that a human would take for granted; like humor. Younger skrell will typically find the surprise of the joke funny, while older Skrell will not. Some jokes can even come off as an insult with older skrell. All these things lead skrell to expressing themselves different with one another compared to humans, this also makes them expressing themselves to other races significantly harder as well. I think this makes them come off as more awkward comparatively so. Not from any sort of naivety but just from how different they express themselves. Character Name: Seela'kluub Please provide a short backstory for this character Native from Jargon IV, she lived in one of the underwater cities all her life. She spent all of her time studying so that she could one day be one of the federations Idols. She always had a curious mind and one of her favorite things to do when she was younger was to explore, even if it got her in trouble. This would eventually lead her to applying to the Gliutip’lyaz University. Upon getting into the university she found the atmosphere way to stressful, and at several points nearly found herself expelled from the university. This caused her to have a small shift in how she viewed her peoples Idols and the huge amount of stress placed on such individuals. She eventually decided to no longer care about being one of those idols and instead focused wholeheartedly on her studies in xenoarcheology and anomalous materials. It was largely thanks to meeting another skrell, with a similar name as her, Seela'Vida. She studied in the same fields as Seela, and at the start was rather helpful towards the skrell. But once Seela began to slack off and become depressed, Seela'Vida became antagonistic towards her. Seela'Vida became Seela'Kluub's Lu'Poxii through out the rest of her time at the university, this served to help focus Seela and got her through her studies. Eventually she'd graduate from the university with a PhD in Xenoarchelogy and AM, having spent the extra time to get both, though her main focus was in AM due to its practical nature in scientific method and as an outlet of satisfying her own curiosity. She quickly applied for work with NanoTrason, and has since been station on the Odin and NSS Aurora. What do you like about this character? She feels like a believable character. Faith in her people, but obviously understands that there is an inherent problem with the culture and the expectations placed on each skrell. But it isn't disillusioned enough to leave them, giving a nice inner-conflict to work with. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I don't like to rate myself, but in the past across most places I've ever invested in, I've always been told I'm a fantastic roleplayer. But really, I'm a writer at heart and I know there is always room to improve and I'm usually super adaptable. Notes: I actually can't decide on colour, blue or some shade of purple though.

I've played a lot with Toast, he had been a constant EMT partner with me. Always reliable and solid and a nice dose of light-hearted. I enjoy RPing with him and hope he can do some fun stuff in the future. +1

Hey, I play Summer; and I do just want to confirm. Val asked Summer what was going on when Summer was walking by hydro to find Taika (Summer heard that Taika was hurt, I can't remember who said it), to find out what was going on. She did explain to Val the situation from her point of view, which by that time she had told to three other people so it was pretty detailed on the whole matter. The claim that we're also some clique is equally frustrating and I can also confirm that Wicked and I have really never spoke outside of the occasional equip in dchat or OOC.

Love Addy's player, and love when Addy herself gets appointed ICMO. Plz let her be actual CMO, +1~
