Scurra

Bump! It's been a long time since this even got any views, and I'm still interested in it!

If you'd even so much as glanced at the description or viewed the sprites, you'll see it's not "just an ordinary, red cap that's only worn" :I

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I-I already did! Just, y'know, not where everyone can see. I want the custom item to be found out IC'ly, not where someone can just paroose over it on this forum and never ask about it again :c

Bump! Still waiting @~@

+1! I'm typically an "invested" Unathi player and I did exactly what this player did-- I made an application for Unathi before I created my first Human character. I know just how much of a pain it is to go through this, so I'm gonna give you a helping hand so I can hopefully interact with you IC'ly all the sooner!

BYOND key:Scurra Character names:Cosima Saeva, Euroa De'Leo How long have you been playing on Aurora?:Couple months. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?:There's a common issue of not having enough Heads of Staff, and I wish to be someone that people can look up to, as I like setting a good example. Why did you come to Aurora?:It's one of the few servers that promote high roleplay, and it reasonably provides, to an extent. Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?:Of course! 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:Roleplaying is typically "make-believe". You're roleplaying as a barbarian in a D&D game, you're roleplaying as a lizard-person on a space station simulator, you're roleplaying as a robot in a D&D spin-off. It's all the same, yet for the same purpose: For fun. Strangely, on a game like Space Station 13 which is arguably one of the better roleplaying games out there, there's a very high lack of fun. A good number of its community is brash, troll-ish, or just downright toxic. That isn't what this game is supposed to be about at all, it's supposed to be about having fun, and throwing away your real life "worries" so to speak, to interact with other people who have aligning interests with you--To play as a person on a space station several hundred years in the future. Are you a person who exists just to ruin other people's day in real life? Are you a person who just wants to be annoying to get off on other people's reactions in the actual world? Do you continuously try to be awful to everyone around you just to be that way? Then why do so on a game where people are just trying to have fun? What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?:It's for people to both respect, and look up to you. New players in the game are always going to look for people's help as this is a very complicated and in-depth game, but the best thing they can always do is go directly to their boss, and inform them that they're new. I really don't like seeing toxic heads of staff that always expect the best no matter what of their employees; you need someone that can understand someone's frustration and confusion, and turn it into a good feeling, an inspiration, that makes the person walking away feel like they actually learned something. It keeps the employee wanting to keep going, and that's exactly what I want to bring to this server! What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?:The responsibilities, obviously, are to set a good example and be an inspiration to those who want to follow in your character's footsteps. Does everyone want to be a Head of Staff or Captain one day? Probably not. But what I mean, is that you don't have to be the absolute best at everything and come off as this "ultra-professional brick wall that never cracks" to be a good Head of Staff. All it takes is the patience and understanding to talk to your employees, and act reputable in a decent manner. We can't forget that while this is a big responsibility, it's ultimately just a game for people to relax and enjoy! Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name:Euora De'Leo Character age:30 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs):Euora was born into the clan of the De'Leo. A highly-respected, wealthy Unathi family that decided to base their business in the Altair system, and despite its hostility, on the planet of Doha, inside of a privately-owned bio-dome. This is where Euora was raised, though frequent visits outside the dome to neighboring planets were not unheard of. Euora essentially got everything that she wanted, and was always treated with utmost respect. With age however, she began to tire of people constantly vying for her affection, just to please her parents. As her personality changed, her parents were surprisingly accepting, and she gradually shifted away from her mother and father who were gradually becoming more and more transparent in her life, she was more interested in meeting people who weren't going to suck up to her, (Even though she secretly enjoys it) and treat her just as any other average joe. My, what a thought that was, to be considered normal and ordinary! She longed for it, but never knew where to go. Surely she'd be discriminated against, surely she'd be insulted, surely she'd be attacked, or worse. But she didn't care, that's what happens to normal people, and that's what she'll do! Dead-set on a trip to Sol, she was making her final preparations for her trip a few weeks from today. That was, until her father, for once, informed her of a career with a company that was very promising. She listened with great interest as she was happily speaking to her father for the first time in a long time, and she looked at him with eager eyes, asking to know what the name of this corporation that mined this "Super-fuel" was. His eye twinkled, and he nodded down at her. "Nanotrasen, my daughter." What do you like about this character?:I like how she's typically easygoing and will always give everyone a fair chance. She includes everyone in everything she does, and compliments people on a day-to-day basis. She also does everything she can to make everyone's day a bit brighter, and always brings presents in the shape of bots, cyborgs, and mechs for the various departments of the station. Not only that, but she's a character that everyone seems to enjoy following, and have as their leader! What do you dislike about this character?:Being born in a wealthy family and always getting what she wants as is the severe variation from the norm with most Unathi, she can get a tad crass if things don't go her way. She's also got it in her mind that people who're annoying just to be annoying are the salt of the Earth so to speak, and are personally out to ruin her day. That, and she's super tall! What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?:I think her sheer knowledge of everything in Science would be an acceptable reason. She's also got a somewhat "jokester" personality, but she also has a trait which makes people like her. It feels good to be around her. It's why she can inspire people, and convince them to follow her. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?:Not to sound like I'm super duper over-confident in my abilities, but hey, I think I'm pretty good! Anyone who's ever interacted with me can confirm that I always take the time to interact with people and constantly get out of my comfort zone, and I include as many people as I can when I'm in-game.

Reporting Personnel:Euora De'Leo Rank of Reporting Personnel:Roboticist Personnel Involved: Jackson Clarke, Nia Snyder, Fortune Snyder Time of Incident: 0:25, extending well over twenty minutes. Location of Incident: The Research and Development Lab. Nature of Incident: []Workplace Hazard []Accident/Injury []Destruction of Property [x]Neglect of Duty []Harassment []Assault [x]Misconduct []Other _____ Overview of the Incident: Basically, Nia & Fortune Snyder, --Security Officer and Research Director respectively-- chose to hang out in the R&D Lab when Jackson Clarke, my partner, and I were asking the Research Director to advance Research, as is her job since no other Scientists were available, and we needed the tech to build a Ripley and Odysseus. It was all fine and done, and she said she would. We check the console and update the network about five times over the course of fifteen minutes. Still nothing. I go out to check, and they've both got chairs facing one another, very close to each other's faces. I make a comment about how it's a bit tedious to watch them doing this when they should be helping us out to do our jobs, and I get told by the security officer, Nia Snyder, to "Fuck off." My partner, Jackson Clarke, asked them, and I quote, "Hey, you two. How about you get a room and leave us your ID?" To which Nia said, "How about no." It's my understanding that the RD was SSD at the time, at least partially, as she looked a bit spaced out. Regardless, it's an hour into the shift, and...Well, they're still in that same position. This is a childish, infuriatingly small-minded concept of two lovers throwing everything away to just play lovey dovey with one another when work needs to be done, and I very much hope that action will be taken against the two of them for this. Did you report it to a Head of Staff or IAA? If so, who?: Conway Miller, Head of Personnel Additional notes:I've attached a few pictures as evidence to prove my claims that they were just sitting and playing lovey-dovey throughout the entire hour. First at the twenty minute mark, the second at the hour mark. Unfortunately, they got lost in the transfer to Central Command, but you can ask my partner or the HoP, they can verify that there were photos!

I've done this a while ago on my previous server, and I'm not sure if anyone's done it yet on Aurora, but hey, let's kickstart one anyway! WARNING! LAZY INCOMING!

BYOND Key: Scurra Character name: Cosima Saeva Item name: Worn red cap Why is your character carrying said item to work? I could go into a massive backstory, but I don't feel like you'd all want to read entire paragraphs! Simply put, Cosima is always seen with her signature red soft-cap, and I wanted to go the extra mile to personalize her, and to have something that actually encourages people to engage with her about. Item function(s): Completely aesthetic, is just another red cap except with a different sprite, name, and description. Item description: A worn, red cap. There's a silver badge along the side, embroidered with a fist. Near the silver badge, there are a few gouging claw marks. On the front of the cap right above the bill, reads a stitched-in text in black thread: Cosima Saeva. Item appearance: And, here are the sprites! I hope this is okay, this is my first time ever really trying something of this caliber @-@ Additional comments:

Addendum: Keep in mind, this is when she's a security officer.

Reporting Personnel: Cosima Saeva Rank of Reporting Personnel: Security Officer Personnel Involved: Nasir Ha'kim Time of Incident: Location of Incident: NSS Aurora Nature of Incident: []Workplace Hazard []Accident/Injury []Destruction of Property []Neglect of Duty []Harassment []Assault [x]Misconduct []Other _____ (Place an x in the box that applies. If other, replace line and specify.) Overview of the Incident: Once I saw them commit assault with their claws after striking an individual twice across the face, I took action and stunned them. The immediate response was "Don't stun Him, you fuck!" screamed at the top of his lungs. Once he was let up, without me arresting him, he proceeded to continuously act incredibly rude, combined with insulting me, until I simply arrested him for Assault and Insulting an Active Officer on Duty. He was very thorough and displayed completely unacceptable behavior towards both authority, and myself. The insults ranged from "No one was speaking to you you red gecko fuck", and so on and so on. I have a very strong curiosity as to how this individual has not been spoken to yet and has continuously been allowed to just get away with this behaviour, as I've witnessed it countless times before, though not directed at myself. Did you report it to a Head of Staff or IAA? If so, who?: Additional notes:

Reporting Personnel: Cosima Saeva Rank of Reporting Personnel: Security Officer Personnel Involved: Jade Rathel Time of Incident: Location of Incident: NSS Aurora Nature of Incident: []Workplace Hazard []Accident/Injury []Destruction of Property []Neglect of Duty []Harassment []Assault [x]Misconduct []Other _____ Overview of the Incident: Consistently insults and antagonizes the crew, which nearly anyone at all can attest to. They have a very, very long history of doing this, and I've heard countless times, "How does she still have her job?" I can only hope that Miss Rathel will cease her belligerent ways, and can once more be a functioning, decent human being. Did you report it to a Head of Staff or IAA? If so, who?: Additional notes:

BYOND Key: Scurra. Character Names: Jackie Reynolds. Species you are applying to play: Unathi. What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Black or dark-colored scales. Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yep! 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: Being Jackie Reynolds is awesome and all, and I feel like I've already made a positive impression with her and hopefully no one hates my guts, but I'd like to have the whitelist underneath my belt to place as Unathi, the lizard-people! The reason I'd like to play as them is because lizards are probably my favorite animal, I actually have a pet gecko named Rory, and if you were to give me a character creation screen in any game, along with a race selection slider, I'd pick lizardpeople every time. They're just so unique and different from the other races, and I like to go by their standards. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: They're bigger and stronger, for starters. But I'm more interested in what an Unathi would be like if he or she were integrated into Human society, because I think it'd be a refreshing and really cool change than to see countless exiles or natives of Moghes. Humans are awesome, and we all are them, but I think I'd make a lot of good memories with a lot of good people if I were to be accepted to play as Unathi. Character Name: Ro'la Vant'rass Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Ro'la grit her jaws together as she desperately clung to her left leg, hobbling along the rubble as the sounds of distant screaming could be heard, followed by roars of victory. Blood seethed down her knee, and she was pretty sure that her leg was held together by little more than severely cracked and ground-up bone. She didn't know how she was still walking, but she was trying as best she could. Tears freely spilled from her eyes as she viewed her brothers and sisters alike slain all around her inside the crumbling building, and although she had no blood relatives to her knowledge, her people here were treated like they were. The sounds of the soldiers breaking through the door is alarmingly loud from behind her, but she can't let that distract her. She hobbles her way along the stone hallway, stepping through blood of her family alike, until she turns a corner and desperately clings to the wall as she moves along it. The soldiers of the main platoon have broken through now, the sound of the two large wooden gates falling to the ground evident of this. Rol'a was moving as best she could, but she was starting to feel so weak...Her leg was still dripping blood from the massive hammer that a soldier struck at her with. She continues on, until she lets out a yelp as the hallway in front of her collapses in on itself, blocking her path and causing her to fall down on her back. She is momentarily stunned, but she can still feel everything, fortunately...She hears the soldiers roaring in Sinta'Unathi as she then whimpers and crawls up against the rubble, as if trying to squeeze away, though with her back to the heavy stone blocking her path, there isn't much she can do. She stares down the hallway with terror in her eyes as the Unathi soldiers come into view, looking around briefly, before they spot her. She lets out a shaky breath of horror, as they slowly begin advancing towards her. She knew that she wasn't going to get out of this alive...She didn't even know why this was happening regardless! This thought is suddenly ended as the group of hostile soldiers are barreled down by another squad of soldiers entirely, in a different outfit than the ones raiding her home. She closes her eyes as the fighting ensues. It's only for a few brief moments, followed by a terrified yelp cut short, before a large group of footsteps were heading towards her. She whimpers as she clamps her eyes shut, holding a hand in front of her. "P-...Please..." she manages to croak out, but instead, is surprised by a warm voice. "It's alright. You're safe, now." Would be a smooth voice in Sinta'Unathi said to her. She whimpers and opens her eyes, to find that Izweski soldiers had arrived. She'd been saved...But things were starting to get blurry. She couldn't see straight, and she felt tired, so very, very tired...She lets go of her knee, the leg of her pants soaked with blood, and let loose a weak groan as she falls to the brink of unconsciousness. She's dimly aware that she's being hoisted up, along with the smooth voice that she had first heard speaking to someone else. "...-ell Clan Leader S’kresti Izweski that the orphanage was slaughtered. There is a little gi-..." would be all she heard, before she fell unconscious. (I know it was supposed to be two paragraphs, but I'm sorry, it doesn't feel right if I cut myself off!) What do you like about this character? Rola Vant'rass is a Unathi who only has one leg due to her losing it at a young age, and she's generally somewhat shy and soft-spoken, but she's mature and knows how to have fun, and forget about her terrible past. She was brought to the Sol system under special instructions from the Clan Leader of the Izweski, where she had to have her leg amputated. While in recovery, she respected and was fascinated by everything going on around her, and decided to take up the field of Medicine. I think Rola would be very interesting addition to the crew of the Aurora, much like Jackie is, and I only hope everyone else here who's reading this feels the same. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I think I'm pretty average, but I guess my opinion doesn't really matter, it's what everyone else thinks!
