[Accepted] Aptare's CMO Application

[Aptare]

BYOND key: Aptare

Character names: Qerrshbi Weashugl

How long have you been playing on Aurora?:

In terms of time since first connection, over a year. Active playtime? I played a good bit late last year as well as in January, and have come back to it now in April.

Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?:

I, simply, just want my character to become a Chief Medical Officer. I believe he has developed enough and has the necessary qualifications to be such, and deserves the role.

Why did you come to Aurora?:

I came to Aurora simply because I heard it was HRP. Hadn't thought of SS13 as being able to harbor that, so I joined to see what was what. I haven't been disappointed so far.

Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?:

Yes.

Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they?

None.

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:

Roleplay is, as the name would suggest, pretending to be a role and acting in a way that is typical of that character. It's a lot like improv, except without comedy and deeper characters. Roleplay should be about, just what it is, roleplay. It should not be focused on trying to achieve some sort of OOC goal or something, it is about developing your character, your relationships with other characters, and letting the true beauty of your character's inner self be unleashed during times of crisis. That is what roleplay is about, playing a role, playing it good, and enriching other's experience with it.

What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?:

Out of character, a head of staff is essentially there to make sure their department runs smoothly, and no chucklefuck comes in and messes everyone up. They are kind of.. the chief moderators of their respective department. They keep it safe, keep it together, and keep it ultimately functional. I think it is ultimately the same in-game, though it might be said in a bit nicer language. 

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?:

OOC, Head of Staffs, to me, are primarily teachers to the less knowledgeable. They offer a voice of reason, experience to the inexperienced. They are like a unofficial mentor for the department they usually head. They can also teach others about paperwork, about applications, like this one. I would strive to uphold this responsibility by.. being responsible for it. Even now, I'm perfectly willing to teach less experienced medical characters, and have in the past. Whether it be about basics like what medicine to use for which type of damage, or how to operate the cloning pod, or how to fill the cryo-pods, I am and always have been willing to teach those who don't know, and will continue to be in the future.

Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau ceti and how it affected your character and their career?

In Tau Ceti, there has been a new influx of Unathi employees, from the new Aut'Akh "faction", though I could call it more of a.. group. There is of course tensions in Biesel, and all that. To be quite honest, Tau Ceti events has not effected my character in the slightest. Not being from anywhere near Tau Ceti or anywhere near the Unathi homeworld, his career has been minimally effected. The only effect it has had on him is him realizing that now there are "strange technologically hybridized Unathi", and they are beginning to get more power and rights.

===============================================================================================================================================

What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted?

Chief Medical Officer.

Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking.:

Qerrshbi Weashugl, Chief Medical Officer.

How would you rate your own roleplaying?:

A solid 8. I'm not going to say that I have perfect roleplay, or close to perfect roleplay, but I like to think I am consistent with my character, have somewhat interesting conversations with others, and have a solid personality.

Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action?

Yes, and doing this application as it is now, I think if I did anything requiring administrative actions, I need to have it taken away as a lesson.

Have you familiarize yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles?

Yes.

Let them eat cake.
Also an enjoyable part of my round to log in as an paramedic and see Qerrshbi, always fun to just have roleplay with them until some dude starts shooting up the bar or something.

Hello.

We are giving you a week to gather enough feedback on this application before we decide if we should go ahead with a trial or not. If not enough feedback is gathered when the time of review comes, we'll have to deny it. You are free to post your application once per round in-game, and occassionally on our general discord server, if you wish.

Thank you.

Qerrshbi Weashugl is a great character from what i've seen of him. I don't hang arround in the medbay often enough to comment on his command skills so i realy would like to see him on trial, the RP with him is always pleasent and the character itself is solid. Sad to see that he got few feedback, but i guess that happens when you play on weekdays in another timezone. Qualified to create stories in the more quiete shifts during european skeleton hours.

I've played 2 or 3 rounds with Querrshbi, and I can already tell that Aptare's roleplay, and Querrshbi's character design are both solid. They would do very well as a head of staff. Because the few rounds I've played with them was a noncanon event, and an extended round, I haven't seen them do much medical, but they seem like they have a pretty decent grasp on it.

 

Definitely want to see how they do as CMO.

[Soultheif96]

Given my interactions with Dr. Weashugl as CMO Sterben, I am comfortable with letting them run on their own as long as they keep their chill and focus on the task at hand.

I have no current critisms as of now. I say let him at it. +1.

[ReadThisNamePlz]

I'ill be granting you a trial! It seems you've been advertising the app and not many people felt like commenting on it. It happens. :shrug:

Trial begins MAY/16/19 and will end MAY/23/19.

[Sytic]

A more than good CMO from what I've seen. Responsibly tackles challenges while not appearing to be overextending. Focuses on their matters, not any other departments, first. But still prefers to be in, and keep necessary elements in the loop. A high functioning Command staff member, a great Skrell whitelistee, and pretty damn good at their job. +1.

[Ventii]

I'm not gonna vote on this, because I'm too new to make a sound judgment. Fine character, by the looks of it! Enjoyed my interactions-- But, they were quite brief. In fact, that's largely what I found with this CMO. Not too much RP occurred, but maybe that's not a requirement of the job? I'm not entirely sure.

Also never once saw 'em in a stressful situation so I can't comment as to that.

[TheAbsoluteMadLad]

Really enjoyed working with their character in the command department, quite competent, capable, and a great asset to have when shit hits the proverbial fan. +1

@Aptare 

Hi, sorry for the delay! I want to ask something before I approve this application. 

Why have you not received much feedback? Have you not been advertising? 

[Aptare]

I have been advertising, the only issue is I’ve only been able to fit in one shift per day Monday - Thursday because it was finals week at my school and I was busy studying for a significant portion of the day. I would have asked for a shift extension, but today I’ve begun traveling for summer and will be unavailable for some time. 

[ReadThisNamePlz]

Understandable. I'm going to pass you.

Congrats!
