BYOND key: Nauticall Discord username: nauticall Character names Seoyeon Park (Chief Medical Officer-hopeful) CMO character I intend to play for the trial. Leslie Asoya (Physician) Mendellian clinician and physician who spent the first half of her career pampered in a District One hospital. Caffeine addict and perpetually sleep-deprived. Lina Santoro (First Responder) Semi-experienced and introverted Assunizoni paramedic and devout Luceian with a strong interest to learn about the wider universe. Linnea Bergsdottir (Engineer) New Gibson Undirstad former reactor technician and current Horizon engineer. Tomboyish, outgoing, brash, and an avid partygoer. Loves Vaurca. Astrid Sorensen (Surgeon) New Gibson Ovanstad surgeon. Sassy and confident. (Also, tragically underdeveloped.) R4NGER (Robot) Not much to say about them besides the fact that they’re a robot. Helpful. How long have you been playing on Aurora? About two months now, give or take. Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? Not that I know of. All bwoinks I’ve had were just responses to me asking stupid questions. Please provide well-articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame? Heads are there to regulate round flow. They’ve got both hard and soft power to influence the round in a far greater way than the standard staff, and as a result, should do their best to make the round enjoyable for everyone involved. As people always say, command staff have a degree of authority to be able to destroy an antagonist’s gimmick on the spot, and it subsequently leads to the round becoming glorified Extended for the next hour and a half; it’s not fun for the antagonist and it’s not fun for anyone else who wanted conflict and action. Heads are also managers. They control their staff and coordinate to ensure the gears turn nicely and well-lubricated. In the command hierarchy, they’re the link between the Bridge and individual departments; if the Captain gives an order to, for example, prepare the Intrepid for a rescue mission, it’s up to individual department heads to ready their respective departments for roles they’ll play; the CMO will prep first responders for casualty treatment, the CE will prep their engineers for damage control, and the HOS will prep their officers for hostile threats (if applicable). The heads are there to prevent the people at the very top from micromanaging, and act as coordinators, liaisons, and advisors to their relevant fields. They know their department best, and should be referred to for situations regarding their departments’ specialties or jurisdictions. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them? Whitelisted players in particular are whitelisted to uphold a specific standard; in Command’s case, it would be mechanical competence, roleplay ability, and to a lesser but still prominent extent, improvisation and acting. They should also be good roleplayers, aiming to seed an environment of good character interactions and storytelling in an immersive way. Again, command roles can sway the round far more than regular staff, and they can wield that in more ways than just mechanical advantages. They can mentor, they can set standards, and they’d be looked at as professionals. I’d ideally strive to be of this class too: someone who people can look up to for roleplay, mechanical knowledge, and leadership. Explain how the recent events in the Spur changed your character and how they came to be employed on the SCCV Horizon. What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? CMO, at first. Maybe in the future, once I rack up more expertise, I’ll go for maybe CE, XO, or even Captain. Have you familiarized yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Yes, I have. Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking: Seoyeon Park (Chief Medical Officer-hopeful) Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? I understand. Have you linked your BYOND account to the Forums? Yep. Extra notes: I hope this doesn't sound like padding, but if it means anything, I also played Command roles for about 2 years on Baystation before moving here. I’m going to be on one last vacation from August 2 - 6, so if I somehow manage to get a trial, I’d like the main bit of it to take place the week after (July 7 - 12), if possible. Thank you for your time! I'm fine if this application doesn't make it; I'll keep looking for ways to improve 'til I do. You miss every shot you don't take after all.

yes! i've actually considered something just like it too and I'm glad other people are thinking about it. i'm not an expert coder but i might have an idea for how to do this in mind.....

BYOND key: Nauticall Discord name/id: sammy (@nauticall) Borg / AI names: R4NGER (Robot) / OSWIN / E.V.A (Potential A.I names) Have you read the Aurora wiki page about the AI?: Yep, I have! Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: In the past in other servers, I've really loved playing AI as like this helpful, robotic assistant who oversees the ship and plays out like the sort of "caretaker" for the whole ship/station. It's an interesting departure from the standard round flow of playing someone on two legs, and I found it to be quite fun and just satisfying to me to be helpful in whatever way I could. I also loved playing AI on Baystation before it was removed (rip) because the interactions between AI and the crew were much more than just "LAW 2 OPEN DOOR". I'm hopeful the experience will be good, if not better, on Aurora and I look forward to it as a result! Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? Nope. Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? I do.
