When are you on Aurora?: My sleeping pattern can vary wildly since I'm currently not in education or employment, but by sometime in January/February 2019, I'd imagine I can be on around 12:00 - 22:00 on Sundays, 18:00 - 22:00 Monday-Thursday, and 12:00/13:00 - 23:00 on Fridays (possibly a bit later).

Experience
How long have you played SS13?: About a year and a month.

How long have you played on Aurora: About a year and a month.

How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: I think I have a decent grasp on most of how Engineering works. I've also played Security a fair bit. I've dipped into Medical and Science a handful of times, but I won't say my knowledge encompasses the entirety of the department, and mainly applies to Research, Xenobiology and some of Research. I've fiddled with Telecomms a few times and have a basic idea on how to fix most issues. Most Civillian jobs and Cargo are jobs I've barely ever touched.

Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: No.

Have you read through the criteria thread; https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4198 - and believe that you mark off all the criteria?: Yes.

Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: I have never been banned.

Personality
Why do you play SS13?: Well, like most might do, I play SS13 to have fun and more specifically, for Role Play, since it's one of the only ScI-Fi settings I've been able to stomach and Role Play in.

Why do you play on Aurora?: For the roleplay and community, really. It's the only proper RP server (and the only server, really) that I play on and I doubt I'll leaving anytime soon.

What do moderators do?: Moderators help with ensuring the rules are followed through the round and, when disputes occur because of a round, try to come to the best solution for all involved parties.

What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: To accept the responsibility associated with the role in order to provide a better experience for the Community.

Why do you want to be a moderator?: Because I feel like this is how I can help Aurora. For as long as I've been playing, Aurora's needed more moderators to keep up with higher player counts. I'd love to see Aurora getting to higher regular population and I feel like this is how I can help Aurora achieve that.

What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I'd like to be able to say that I'm capable of keeping myself from coming to biased solutions to problems.

How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: In the very few situations I've been in that have been genuinely stressful, I like to think I've been able to hang on just enough to make reasonable enough judgements. I used to have awful anger issues when I was younger, but they have dramatically calmed down over time and I'm finding I'm able to get myself to calm down. When I'm insulted in a critical manner, I sometimes find myself trying to see if there's truth in it and if I can try to improve myself on whatever it was I was insulted on. In the other case, I think I'm capable of shrugging off such insults, namely because I have a habit of thinking they're sarcastic.
