How long have you been playing on Aurora?: I can't even remember anymore. At least 4 years?
Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I've always enjoyed making things fun on the Aurora. Heads of staff are able to really get the ball rolling on certain things. Be it driving story or simply making a shift enjoyable for others.
Why did you come to Aurora?: Because Hypatia died a while back.
Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: Yes I have.
Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? On may 29th 2020 I was given a day ban for firing on an antag with a laser pistol who was actively attacking my Head of Research as Captain. During this time, I was a moderator for the server and had juuust come back from a bout of SSD/AFK. I failed to scroll up and read what was said to me by the RD and made a grave error. I got them both killed and really messed up. I will always own my mistakes, but I believe with a second chance, Something like this will not happen again.
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: To me roleplay is to escape from reality for a bit, dive into a different world and do it with other people. It's about writing a story that's never going to be the same thing twice. I've been roleplaying for years and it's at it's core, for me, super relaxing.
What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The OOC purpose of a head of staff is to promote team work, communication and raise the bar for other players. Be a teacher, be a friend even!
What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: This ties into what I said about the OOC purpose as well. You're there to teach newer players ICly. Like a CMO would teach an intern, or a HOS showing a cadet the ropes. When you're not doing that, you're driving the story on shift, be it with antags or the crew themselves. Making things interesting for as many as you can.
Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau ceti and how it affected your character and their career? Well as I've been playing Unathi a LOT recently, I've heard about these ghost ships floating around in space. So it would be safe to say, my wanting to be CE, Sa'tak would be rather careful about his trips between Tau Ceti and Unathi space. Extra time spent traveling, making sure him and his clan stay safe!
What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? Chief of Engineering
Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking.: Na'Szar Sa'Tak - Chief Engineer
How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I'd give it a solid 7/10. I like to stay humble.
Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Yes, I was made very aware of this.
Have you familiarize yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? I have.
Extra notes: I know I screwed up in the past. But my mistakes are what make me human. I learn from each one, and move forward. I'm asking that I be given the chance to do so. Thank you for reading!
