MuscleGirl, Australia. <3

It's been exactly three days. Unless my application is in dispute, may I have a final answer?

I gave an example of the latter, but I'm unsure if you're generalizing a hypothesis or pointing out a specific character in my lineup with the former.

Hopefully, with grace. However, in order to see how well I could handle being a whitelisted player, I'd first have to be whitelisted. Chicken and Egg.

I felt that went without saying. But it's not just the head of staff's responsibility, the entire playerbase is meant to take an active role in providing and requesting roleplay. That's what makes it emergent gameplay.

Updated to be more OOC and Paragraphy

Technically, ensign to her mother's captaincy. And it was a civilian ship, not a military one. A family run business.

BYOND key: MuscleGirl Character names: Aleksandra Nikolaioskavich, Michelle Reber, Gennavieve Strauss, Vallerie Loche How long have you been playing on Aurora?: About three months, on and off. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: To unlock head of staff roles and allow my characters to roleplay in command areas. Why did you come to Aurora?: I heard about it over the reddit forum and became interested. Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Yes. Please provide well articulated and argumented answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about: Stepping into imaginary shoes either you've created or has been created for you. It should be about trying to empathize with your character and understanding the hardships and joys you're putting them through and reacting as if you were looking through their eyes. Allowing other players to alter and collaborate with your creative effort is a must-have. But most importantly, roleplay is the ability to tell a story to the best of one's ability no matter the context or substance. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: To move the round forward. Without a head of staff, most rounds leave a department gimped and unable to find direction in it's chain of command. The Captian becomes the single barer of responsibility and some antags can clip the station's wings far too quickly by removing the only leadership role picked by the one whitelist player in fourty five non-whitelist. A round where the departments lack their leadership is becoming more prevalent. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: To fulfill the function of their characters and ensure the station isn't lacking for command or authority. Their mere presence aboard ensures that departments are allowed to collaborate their efforts against antagonists and ensure their time is well spent in the pursuit of productivity. Their obligations are to ensure that others can do their jobs effectively and ensure the round is as interesting as possible without causing harm to other players, or their own, experiences. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Michelle Reber Character age: 37 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): A native born to Tau Ceti, Michelle Reber began her captaincy aboard her mother's freighting transport, the CFT "It's One of Ours", at the age of twenty under her mother's tutelage. Her experience in ship-board politics and cautious negotiation paved the way for her clerical aptitudes and resulted in high competency scores within the NanoTrasen Station Administration program. Becoming Mrs Reber at the age of twenty six, she married her current husband Lauchlan Reber and they had a daughter, Rebecca. She is currently awaiting her command application's return aboard the NSS Aurora. What do you like about this character?: She's designed from the ground up to be a motherly figure, both in social interaction and station-wide management. What do you dislike about this character?: She's rather hot-headed, insistent that whatever compromise she decides upon should be followed to the letter. She isn't about to accept that people are bloody-hearted, even this far from Earth and will often talk off a hostage-taker's ear. Do you think this character is fit to be a Head of Staff?: Yes, more-so than most characters. Why?: Because of her naturally caring nature and naivety. Please provide well articulated and argumented answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: Excellent, but could still use some work. I'm definitely better than I was three years ago. I still use far too many commas in my grammar. Extra notes: I'm not sure what else I'd put here.
