After reading the application, I have found that the backstory is extremely bare bones and could use some work. There is not much too specific, no real details about who Rilumim is. A couple questions that come to mind are: How old is Rilumim? Does she have any family? Are there specific reasons that Rilumim distrusts synthetics? Does Rilumim have any notable experiences throughout her life before the NSS Aurora? How did the environment that she grew up in impact her? (depending on age, could be war-torn recovery, newer generations of skrell, discovery of humanity. There are many notable events that could be incorporated into backstory) Does Rilumim have any living family? Children? Those are just a few questions that I could think of off of the top of my head. You hopefully get the point though that detail is very nice to see in showing that you understand the species. As it is now, it is not a horrible application, but I'd very much like to see more substance. I'd like it to seem like Rilumim is a living character, rather than someone that has been thought up with very little explanation. There were a few more concerns that I had while reading the application. It is important to keep in mind that Skrell do indeed have a wide range of emotions, but many of their social ques are very difficult for non-Skrell to pick up. It can be simple things such as the change of inflection in their voice. They do show their emotion much better when speaking in Nral'Malic (Skrellian), as that is what they are more familiar with generally. It is not that the Skrell are lacking of emotion, or overall arrogant (while some may be), but it is just difficulties in displaying it to Humans. If you want to get an idea about how specific to make your application, I'd recommend looking back at some previous Skrell applications to see how in depth many would go. I look forward to see what you can do!

I like how you explored the situation with teaching the first generations born following Glorsh-Omega. I would've liked to see a bit more to 'X' regarding his upbringing and perhaps his parents and how his childhood experiences drew him towards the scientific fields as you said. I'd also like to know all the fields that 'X' has delved into, as it says here that he went into studying physics, but later on you mention that he has involvement in chemistry, biology, and engineering. Is this something that 'X' is still focusing on? As Bluespace was only discovered in 2413, before that there would've been no "bluespace technology" for 'X' to be researching. What led to 'X' getting up and moving his life to Tau Ceti following the discovery of Humanity. You stated that he was revolted by seeing synthetics used by Humanity, yet he eventually managed to adapt to the environment. I'd appreciate to see a bit more backstory on what led to his change of opinions, as it does go against the general opinion of his peers. Overall, 'X' seems like a fairly basic character with not much to him besides when he was born, and what he does. I'm genuinely interested in learning more about this Skrell though, as he was born in a time where there wasn't much hope for his species. The population was rather unsteady, and he would've definitely been shaped by the emphasis on making a better for himself than those before him. It would be nice to see who 'X' is as a person, get to know what his ambitions are. Just to see that he will actually be a well thought out character, not another Skrell who suffered through their life and now work on a space station in Tau Ceti. Don't be afraid to break out of the mold about, add some creativity and interesting details about his life. Does he value family? Does he have a Quualt'Shirapt? does he have children? I have no doubt that you will be able make this character more alive. I like the base that you have going for it at the moment. I am interested to see what else you have in your head Good luck!

Ooh, the old bar and bridge. You know what's up.

So it has been two years and I forgot I made this thread. A large amount has changed, and I am interested what people think about him again.

After reading over the applications posted for the Human lore dev application, I am really liking the ideas that Zundy has put forth. They all seem well thought out and I am excited to see what his ideas would be as he continues to flesh out Humanity if he gets the position. The ATLAS ideas are peaking my interest. A definite support on my part.

are you nursie? Biggest conspiracy of the century confirmed

I like the idea about having a general name for those types of colonies. I also like the idea of the Skrellian Frontier being known as the Traverse, and have talked about it with [mention]Wer6[/mention] in the past. Both things allow for us to create a more obvious separation between the Skrell and Human frontiers, which is always good to have.

Ban lifted

I am willing to unban you before your ban expires. The issue with the entire incident in general is that to us it appeared as if you were just being another shitter who went up to someone after they did something minor to you, attempting to kill them. You may have ahelped before doing something which means that you knew what you were doing was risky, but if you don't get a response from an admin when you ask them to do something, it doesn't mean that you can go do it anyway. If you were seriously wondering about escalating the incident and you didn't get a response from the admins, you should wait a minute or so and then ahelp again. There are times during rounds where we are overloaded with multiple ahelps at once and may have missed yours. The reason that I banned you though was because you had multiple incidents in the recent past of having improper escalation or just generally bad roleplay. As long as you've read over the rules and realize that things don't always need to escalate to the point where people have a good chance of dying, I can lift the ban.

That would add a nice touch, I like it.

I've interacted with Sean Brianne multiple times in the past and support the whitelist. He's a good officer and follows corporate regulations well enough. +1

I purposefully let this sit for some time before I replied to see Xander get brought back into the sever and to see how he performed in interim Head of Staff roles again. I've seen him perform well as both an Interim Head of Security and Interim Chief Medical Officer and would definitely like to see Vivian Rival as a CMO. He was competent in the past and as long as he can control himself, I expect that he would be able to handle it again. +1

Reporting Personnel: Valorallen Vitellia Rank of Reporting Personnel: Head of Personnel Game ID: bPa-dlvR Personnel Involved: - Girard Smark, Scientist: Witness (Moom241) - Hannah Blackwell, Drill Technician: Victim (mcspizzy) - Dragan Grgurovic, Medical Doctor: Offender (banjaluka) - Raymond Hawkins, Captain: Witness (Aboshehab) - Viktor Komministov Chief Medical Officer: Witness (Jkol591) Time of Incident: 11:30 27/06/2459 Real time: Around 0030 GMT 28/06/17 (I hope that is right. It happened at like 8:30ish EST) Location of Incident: Operating Room 1, NSS Exodus Nature of Incident: []Workplace Hazard []Accident/Injury []Destruction of Property [x]Neglect of Duty []Harassment []Assault []Misconduct [x]Other Medical Malpractice Overview of the Incident: Ms. Hannah Blackwell, Drill Technician lost a hand during her time working out on the Mining Outpost. She received a prosthetic hand from Robotics to bring to Medical so she could have it replaced. Dr. Dragan Grgurovic was the assigned Medical Doctor to perform the hand replacement surgery. During this surgery, Dr. Grgurovic amputated the entire arm claiming that it was easier that way instead of just amputating the leftovers of the hand to replace with a full prosthetic, which was what Ms. Blackwell wanted. Mr. Smark reported this incident to me as he was witness to it occurring within the Medical Bay. He confronted Dr. Grgurovic in which Dr. Grgurovic stated that it was simply easier and showed no remorse for removing Ms. Blackwell's entire arm. After Mr. Smark reported this incident to me, I reported it to Captain Raymond Hawkins and Chief Medical Officer Viktor Komministov. I requested to perform an immediate suspension of Dr. Grgurovic for this severe medical malpractice, along with reporting this to the Central Command Internal Affairs Bureau for further investigation into the reliability of Dr. Grgurovic and the possible revokation of his Medical License. This sort of behavior should not be allowed by the NanoTrasen Corporate Conglomerate and I feel that this sort of purposeful malpractice should be dealt with at the highest severity, thank you for your time. Did you report it to a Head of Department or IAA? If so, who?: Mr. Smark reported the incident to me in which I investigated and reported it to Captain Hawkins and Dr. Komministov, but by that time, Dr. Grgurovic had already gone to cryogenic storage so we could not go for an immediate suspension. Actions taken: None during the shift as Dr. Grgurovic went to cryogenic storage shortly after the incident occurred. Additional notes: I find this gross negligence to be unacceptable and do not think that this sort of purposeful malpractice should go unpunished. It is doctors like him that give the Medical Department a bad name.

Alright well, you were banned back in the beginning of May and it seems that you've learned from this. I don't see an issue with unbanning you. Appeal accepted

Yes, this actually sounds amazing. I really support this.

Was this just left to die because I really liked the idea of having multiple Human languages. Especially since we are seeing a rise in other species having multiple languages.

While I understand that people come to the server to take off some steam, you are still expected to follow the rules of the server. You've been spoken to in the past about different incidents of breaking the rules and every time moderators have recorded that you were to reread the rules. This case was an extreme one as you attacked and killed the HoP with no provocation. You were a Janitor. You are expected to listen to the orders of your superior. No sane character would show such excessive escalation of a small incident. Because this is not the first time you've gone against the core parts of our server's rules, I will be leaving the ban in place. If you feel that you are too stressed to play the game in the future, simply go to cryo and get some rest. If another incident occurs like this in the future, you will receive a harsher punishment.

Hmm... I was honestly going to reply to this without reading the dates. I eventually realized that most of these people aren't even here anymore. But honestly, I like all of these except that glowing drug stuff, if people are still interested in adding them. We can just put some Latin words in there and add some fancy endings. There ya go.

Okay. You claim time and time again that Edgar is the person who wants to get stuff done yet whenever I see him ICly, he doesn't seem very serious about his job or what he is doing. He does seem like one of those characters that wouldn't be leading a department. At this point, am not supporting this application if you are going to have Edgar as a RD. New ideas are needed. And I question that length of the roleplay that you've tried with new characters. Start fresh, purely play that character for like a week or so, if they are good, people will start to notice. When I first started with Auralia, she was a throwaway character because I wanted to see how a lighter skinned white Skrell would look. I just so happened to play her time and time again for a while and people started recognizing her and appreciating (or not) the roleplay that went on. Now she is one of my more recognizable characters. I say that you should start fresh with a brand new character, not throw out that it is you and just roleplay. Maybe for a week. Keep playing as that character, develop their story, where they are from, their family, how they think, what their opinions on random shit are. Once you start thinking about how they would think, your ability to roleplay will improve drastically. You should get in the mindset that your character is a real person and do things that a real person would do. You just need to put in the time and effort, it'll come eventually.

Alright, I just so happen to be utter shit in Unathi lore even though I somehow managed to get a whitelist. But besides that, Abosh is a p good roleplaer. I enjoy a lot of his characters and he could definitely handle an Unathi Whitelist. He seems to understand the Unathi lore but there are some points that could be fleshed out a little bit more. I feel that he will be able to bring in bits of the lore into his roleplay in a good way. Giving this a +1.

Just going to point this out, having older characters definitely does not mean that they do not talk a lot. It may even be in your best interest to make an older, more mature character that is there to get the business done and doesn't goof off all the time. That would help you get your application through. Based off of the amount of times that you were denied, I feel that a good portion of the community would not like to see Edgar Dawnguard as a head of staff. And out of all of these "new" characters. I've seen Athena more in the recent days and I've seen Tribune maaaybe one or two times. The other characters on that list, I have not seen whatsoever and I feel that you are just making characters to add to your list of names to say that you've made more. You really should expand your horizons from just purely focusing on Dawnguard. Try other departments, maybe those that interact with much more of the crew more often. Try being a bartender or a chef. RP will come to you then if you feel that no one wants to RP with your characters. This is a process that will take time and effort on your part to prove to the community that you've crafted a character that is good enough to be a head of staff.

I know one time back when I was CCIA of Bullshit, I went wild with a gib stamp. Those are pretty fun. There was much blood shed on Odin that day.

Bureaucratic Magic. But if this will be a serious thing maybe it can just be a tool or something that signals for doors to bolt or not. [Editing out me being dumb]

Wasn't that Delta? bless. Yes, it was when I think Vira was a Scientist iirc??
