Locking and archiving.

Chapter 2 added.

Reserved

I'm going to do a multi-chapter story about a few characters that can be found on the station, who I will keep unmentioned. Some of you may know who they are based on interactions with said characters, so if you want to discuss them, that's fine. Chapter 1 - Just Another Night Chapter 2 - Just Another Target Chapter 3 - Just Another Call Chapter 4 - The Wheels Chapter 5 - Just Another Meeting

Decided to add Khaled Al-Bastaki as well to this.

That's not how it works.

Well, your issue here is that you've got a very inactive record on the server itself, as you yourself cited and have had numerous negative interactions with staff that have for a lack of better terms, put you on thin ice. I'm not very partial in supporting this application for the two previous points, but I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.

We're discussing this in our upcoming staff meeting. Feel free to ping me again on the 1st of next month in the event there's no word from us about this.

Two things. First, properly configure the bold and non-bold parts of this application. Secondly, you don't really play at all. We don't really go much for people that simply promise activity if their trial gets approved.

Locking thread per request. Don't feel discouraged from applying in the future.

While I'm not the banning staff member, looking over your staff interaction, it shows a persistent form of history filled with rule violations across your time playing on this server. You've got five incidents alone on the naming scheme of your characters. You also don't seem to be in agreement with ban reason at all. Perhaps you could detail your interaction that led to this ban along with the fact you've got repeat offenses of the same rule violations since 2015? It's clear you haven't been fully active since then but when you do play, rule violations are present.

You've played a total of five rounds since the 15th. Your character is not suitable for the job. Your application is half filled. I suggest you apply in the future.

You can also stop grouping people and putting them in bad light here. It's evident that his confusion wasn't with Xander but rather a misconception.

I'm having trouble recalling any of these cited oaths we supposedly made? Since they never happened. Keep your post factual and true please along with the associated jabs at people removed. The others have posted their cases properly, make an effort to do the same.

Your appeal has been accepted by Schev, since they're busy I'll do the honors. Should come to effect come next round.

I'll ping them for you, apologize for the delay.

Generally speaking, unban appeals are given to the person that gave out the punishment. If they wish for an outside look on it, they can make a staff complaint since it would mean they don't agree with their assessment from their appeal thread, then we will look into it. I admit, this misconception is at this time our fault and we're currently in the progress of bringing the forums up to date with information and such, it's simply tedious and exhausting at times, I'll see about getting this topic sorted and clarified.

That actually brings up a point. While I do find it plausible, I think their economical hardship would make it hard to make the jump from frontier to Biesel. I had it originally thought that the farm was from a rural area on Biesel, perhaps near craterview. I'll modify the story to reflect this.

You could say their central term is gratitude. This Dionea with an affinity to the living, from tending to plants, farm animals or keeping his caretakers livelihood going, which in this instance is money. I guess I could add a bit about the process but to me it feels like filler, pointing out things that don't really need to be said. I don't really believe it's much of a stretch to assume a Dionae could acquire the necessary knowledge either by studying or experience to get the necessary qualifications based on the wiki, specifically the latter. Qualifications: Bachelors degree in applicable field, or pass (75%+) Horticulture Test. I was aiming for the middle really. Compared to the optimal growing period of a pod to how much it took for this farmer, it gives an indication that yes he did put some effort and research into it but it was far from a highly competent endeavor conducted on their own.

Under suggestion, I've changed the name of the Dionae to "That Which Brings Life" from the original being "Thou That Brings Life"

BYOND Key: Aboshehab Character Names: Primary Characters: Raymond Hawkins, Weirup Vi’lees, Khaled Al-Bastaki, Aisha Al-Meer, Rashid Al-Mansori, Mike Knight, Greatness Mk1/2 Secondary Characters: Taylor Hale, John Doe, Decurio, Fatima Al-Nahyan, Ali Al-Neyadi, Aviul-Fedas Qelik'Weirun, Needle, Ahmad Al-Meer, Ghoasim-Edirne Qe’liis, Grimul Simuki, HELPER - 002, Kark’zir Sirvikya Species you are applying to play: Dionae What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Dionae, so exempt Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes. 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: While the other species in one way or another can be related to Humans, I find that Dionae to be the only truly alien species out there, possibly barring the Vaurca, it’s just that to me Dionae are still magnitudes more different. Their novelty has made them my most recent interest in the lore and I believe I will find them enjoyable. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: I touched about how alien they were previously, but I’ll expand. They are a collective and individualistic all at once. The higher forms are essentially a single intertwined entity composed of multiple nymphs. They speak with a single voice, thing with a single thought, act with a single action, they are a collective. Yet with saying that, they can still be an individual, which can be seen when you have the workers split off. They can get their own experiences, and act on “their own”. There is no waste to them, as can be inferred from the third discovery, everything around them can be used one way or another in a pragmatic sense. Though I admit my understand on their biology is a tad lacking, though it’s more of a personal thing. What I can understand or infer is their relation to biomass and sunlights, as things important to their growth and survival. There are some more fringe examples such as radiation and electrical feeding, while not a staple for Dionae, is still something they can use, with the former actually being extremely beneficial to them. They can absorb genetic samples which allows them to attain knowledge from it, this is primarily seen in-game via how Nymphs learn languages, since without them sampling other people's genetic samples, they’ll be stuck on the standard language called rootsong. There’s also the aspect of the unknown, it leaves a lot to theorize and assume, lots to speculate. They aren’t a set culture where Humans in this setting can relate to Earth, or Skrell to Jargon. The only thing cited as universal for the Dionae is how they are named and their language, but other than that, they could be exceptionally similar or far from the same. I could go on but I think this suffices. I’ll be happy to bring more to the table or expand on it if prompted. Character Name: That Which Brings Life Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs That Which Brings Life, originally a few pods purchased to sate a Craterview's farmers curiosity. They would be grown and cultivated, with the farmer observing them and recording his thoughts, a simple experiment for him at the time. Having prepared for this as best as he can, they would grow over a period of two days, with the nymphs coming to life shortly after the other, no more than an hour in between. The farmer wanting to go further doesn’t simply stop there, having them caged but taken care of, he goes on to research about these curious creatures, originally pests in his eyes, his understanding of them would grow. He acquires the necessary items to a cost to himself, but one he manages to hold, providing them with the necessary samples so they could communicate. Time would go on, where they would feed and grow until their joining, their becoming of a gestalt, referred to as a worker by the more educated, these nymphs he’s had akin to tamed farm animals, is now a person. Referring to themselves as That Which Brings Life, in part to their environment of bringing, that of farming and bringing life to the greens that surrounded them. They would assist the farmer and his family farm or conduct menial tasks. But like every story, nothing is ever so bright, the truth is, the family was having issues economically, acquiring loans to keep their house, their trade and their livelihood from going under. That Which Brings Life now more or less a part of the family, would go on to use what it has learned in hopes of providing the financial assistance to those that have in essence brought birth to them, cultivated them and ensured their well being. This would eventually lead them to the NSS Aurora, a contracted worker bringing funds in support to their family. What do you like about this character? I think that would be the simplistic design of them. They are essentially a farmer, they aren’t some war veteran escaping him, they aren’t some human seeking a better life from the frontier. It’s a Dionae, grown on farmlands, using what it has learned to help those that essentially gave birth to them. The name is also something I fancy, the life it brings being the plants it grows. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I dislike these questions generally, I prefer to let the commentator make these rating. I guess I’d give myself a 7/10 at the maximum. My faults generally come from English being my second language, so grammatical and spelling mistakes, especially on the fly can occur. I’ve been trying to be more verbose but in a good way along with more emphasis on emoting, in attempts to bring my characters more to life as opposed to the click and drag mentality. Not really sure if I'm either being too humble here or exaggerating my ability to roleplay, I leave that to those that wish to judge my application. Notes:

Don't believe we've ever had a case such as this, we've at the most given out permanent job bans for extreme offenders. But assuming let's say we ban them from a department for this, they move on and do the same for other departments to the point where it's just us racking administrative actions in hopes he'd stop, then I suppose a permanent ban is possible. We've just generally never had a case like this. Side note but I'd like to iterate what Datberry said. If you cannot properly cryo yourself in a reasonable amount of time. Ahelp it and we'll do it for you.

The issue is that just like everyone else, you're required to place your work place equipment in your locker. A security loadout can easily be acquired again but nevertheless should still be placed where they were found. We enforce this on pretty much all roles when we catch them. You're also encouraged to ahelp said people, such as this hoist and such you found, but you didn't so we didn't notice it. This is doubly important due to the nature of the CE rig, it's very possible and has happened before in the past where a command staff would join and find items missing due to the previous position holder gone, it's why we enforce this, and again doubly more strict on members of command. You leave a high value item in a public place where anyone could acquire it, which should not be the case. You've been told this multiple times as well, even by myself. If you cannot properly cryo yourself, you may ahelp for us to do so. I was there this round as well and don't think Sonic has done anything wrong, in fact, job bans in my experience aren't usually this small.

Alright, ban removal should take affect next round. Edit: Ban removed.

Alright, so the banning staff member is no longer around, so I'll deal with it. I'm willing to remove this ban but there however is an issue with your playstyle even as non-security that shows a some what rushed play style. So I'm going to unban this under the stipulation that any rushed or improper playstyle as Security may result in this being returned. Sounds fair?
