The lancer

BYOND key: The lancer Character names: Dayton Perkins, Rayner Krupt, Tom Jackson, Hugh Evans How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Since 2015 Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: To unlock command roles that I have always been interested in Why did you come to Aurora?: I was told of its existence, came, and liked the heavy roleplay. Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: Yes 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 an activity in which the involved create characters and behave as the characters would. Proper roleplay requires that you part from what you would do in a certain scenario, in favour of acting as your character, based on his backstory, beliefs and characteristics you have given him. The player's emotions or "bad day" should be kept at bay as much as possible, so as not to spoil and damage the roleplay. Above all, roleplaying should be fun and recreational for everyone involved. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The Heads of Staff should be a group of people experienced in the game and their department, offering assistance for anyone needed. New players for example, can and should be helped by the Heads, who act as a guide both IC and OOC. All in all, the Heads of Staff should pass on their knowledge, act as guides and assist wherever possible. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: OOCly, Whitelisted players are to become beacons of good conduct and healthy RP. The responsibilities that they have are to roleplay properly, to project an image of good conduct, have a good knowledge of the server rules and inspire others to follow such standards and even encourage them to make themselves a whitelist application. Naturally, I will strive to uphold the above by showing good character and doing my best in general, as I believe this keeps the fine quality the server has. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. I wish to create a new character solely for being head of security. Character name: Stavros Nannos Character age: 54 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Stavros was born in Athens, Earth in a lesser income family of the medium classes. His family included his parents and two sisters, Anna and Irene. Two things fascinated him since he was a young boy: space and soldiers. Years passed and Stavros attended his state provided education, not as enthusiastic at school as he was back home, playing with his toy soldiers. In the end, he passed his exams with surprisingly high grades, compared to his efforts. His parents tried to persuade him to enter law school, and become a lawyer to bring in a guaranteed income, but Stavros wanted something else, and driven by his dreams, he persuaded his father to send him abroad, to the New Seoul Combat Training Center, where he entered after completing his military term in the Alliance. Steven spent the next 7 years in the academy, learning obedience, discipline, combat and weapon usage. He presented himself as a foreigner with dreams of going to space one day, and this led to a friend of his mentioning finding work aboard a vessel of Nanotrasen, a company he has constantly been hearing of since his travelling abroad. As he had nowhere better to look at, Stavros decided to give that corporation a go. During the final year in the academy though, he was facing an eyesight problem, which was getting worse and worse every week to the point where he was forced to deal with it. With medication and medical assistance, he managed to slip out without needing glasses. Upon passing his final exams and earning a Bachelor's degree, he joined Nanotrasen as a security officer, and stayed with them for 30 years, during which he made a family and had a daughter. His most recent problem he faced was his eyesight issue that developed into a disease, which he addressed immediately and after a surgery and 2 months of recovery, managed to get through with prescription glasses. What do you like about this character?: He is a dreamer, and despite his health problems continues to persist. What do you dislike about this character?: His age and eyesight will not allow him to be as energetic. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: His experience, wisdom and many years with Nanotrasen that have earned him this position. His eye problems will not stand in the way of doing his job. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: 7/10 since I believe I am good with interacting with others, but I have not mastered it yet. Extra notes: I usually play when the server has ~20 players. I don't know if that's the deadhour, but I believe I am not well known to the greater community. This may very well affect feedback. I also do not know if I should strictly promote one of my existing characters, but I hope that's not the case, since really want to play this character.

+1 Night that shatters days is a really good character.

Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?:To have the opportunity to play as a head. Why did you come to Aurora?:I Was told it was a heavy roleplay server with action, so I tried it out. Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?:Yes. 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 the act of playing as a character, without taking into account your own prefrences, knowledge or traits, but only your character's. Roleplayers should not focus on "winning the game" but to have fun, while making others have a fun time as well. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: A head of staff is supposed to be an experienced roleplayer that should also assist new players with learning the game, mechanics and his department's job and generally be an example to be followed. Heads of staff could also assist in rounds when they are needed, to organise a department when needed in some gamemodes(i.e. Head of Security during Nuke ops round). What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Whitelisted players should always maintain character, have a well rounded sense of roleplay and actually roleplay on a higher standard than the newer players, as well as to teach the newcomers about the IC features regarding game mechanics and jobs. To uphold these responsibilities, I will always do my best to assist people in need of help regarding rp and enhancing other people's time by maintaining character and high rp standards.

Character name: Hercules Holmes Character age: 45 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Hercules Holmes, was born in an average family in Biesel. He went to school as every other child, without standing out that much. In his free time, he would meet with his friends and do things together, going on walks or playing games. Years passed and Hercules went into high school, spending his time studying and such, until one day, he happened to pass by an alley on his way home, where a violent crime had taken place. He observed the policemen and the investigators, and was inspired, so much that he then made a descision which would determine his career, his career in the criminal investigations branch of the police. Years passed, and time to choose between further education or entering the job market came. Herules had already made his mind up and applied to enter the Biesel forensics and investigations academy. There, he met with others that shared the same interest with him thus, making him love his new academy and opening up opportunities for new friends. After graduating with a Master's degree, he immediately enlisted in the police, where he was employed as a detective. After some time, he ranked up to reach a position of the chief. The concept of leading investigations and telling others what to do was very appealing to him. Though happy with his job and colleagues, Hercules wanted to explore a whole new aspect of the world, space, and decided to sign a contract with Nano Trasen, where they took him as a detective/forensics technician. What do you like about this character?: I like that he is a calm person in general, friendly and that he respects authority and colleagues.

Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: An 8 Extra notes: -

When comms are down, its already difficult to cummunicate, but far more difficult for security, as talking in the public radio may leak sensitive information. That could be solved with station bounced radios with the security frequency. That will make security's job easier when comms are down and it seems like a thing NT would do, as security is an important department.

The family swordfight thing is there because bob comes from a kinda high class society, where his family had always been into fencing. All in all bob came into a wordfight with his brother who then blinded by his anger challenged bob to a swordfight, where he lost his hand.Now the blood thing comes from the notion that the family's blood shouldnt be given away for any reason, so bob never experienced having his blood taken. But anyway thanks for the plus one

I know arkin in game, not too well but he often runs engineering alone and roleplays pretty well. Now I dont have much to say for I dunno him that well, but he seems an alright chap. Not to mention his application...

His roleplaying abilities are of a high standard, he can surely do his job well and knows the rules. I would surely make him a CMO if i were NT.

Oh...i got it...deny the old one, they are the same anyway

err... no denials yet, you said i should fix my head application, which i did, but i got no replies so i reposted it. Sorry...

Basically, replace the blast doors in the HoS's office with privacy shutters, because its a bit too much shutting down the huge steel blinking blast doors when you just want to change, have a personal meeting what do you say?

I was thinking of a machine in the warden's office, that will need the warden's id card to function and vend like a tray with some food on it. No funds required

Basically, a prisoner rations vending machine at the brig, cuz making prisoners eat donuts and donk pockets sounds a bit off... plus, prisoners in solitary can be fed.
