Timezone: Pacific
When are you on Aurora?: At this time, usually around the afternoon, and sometimes, later in the night. Problem here is my sleep schedule is ah... bad. It's random, due to various circumstances, but this is about average, in my timezone.

 

Experience
How long have you played SS13?: Only about a year and a half now.

How long have you played on Aurora: Not sure, but I think it's reaching a year.

How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: I am quite capable of various mechanics, and I pride myself on being able to learn quickly. The only thing I am really clueless about is Medicine, other than that, I have at the very least the necessary knowledge of all roles.

Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: Not in the slightest.

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, I've read through it. I mark off a majority of them, the main thing is Activity. On the forums, I'm not quite so active, and Discord is an issue since I have a lot of servers, but if I was accepted, I'd likely take both of those more seriously. As form gameplay activity, I rarely just ghost unless its late into the round, and I was a) Just logging on, or b) Making a character the whole time. I play off and on, with the occasional lengthier break in the event I get a bit burnt out.

Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: No, I have not been banned.

 

Personality
Why do you play SS13?: Because it's fun. No, really, I just have fun in the game. RP is something I love to do, hell I RP on other games. DnD, WoW, singleplayer games. Other reasons, because I love space, and this game literally takes place in space. The game in general caught my eye, as something fun to try out. You know, chaotic space station. Well, I noticed the RP after the fact, and suddenly it's on my list of favourite games.

Why do you play on Aurora?: I think I talked about this on my Command App, but basically the HRP tag caught my eye. It's the only one of three servers I've played legitimately, and I just like it too much to bother going to any other server.

What do moderators do?: They moderate. Basically, they are in charge of making sure rules are being followed, and handling situations in which a rule is either blatantly, or suspected to be broken. They also tend to help out people on the server they moderate, answering questions about game mechanics, or rule clarifications.

What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: It means you are probably an upstanding member of the server, capable of helping out, and following the rules, and you respect people on the server. Thing is, the Aurora is slightly different from other servers, being HRP, and as such, have other rules that need to be upheld, and in turn moderated.

Why do you want to be a moderator?: So Shadow will be my friend. Honestly, I just want to help with the server, in some way. Read said mods are needed, well I like the server, and want to help out. Not really much beyond that.

What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: My least favourite question in anything. I'd guess my honesty, patience, lack of bias Except for the PRA, level-headedness. I don't know.

How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: I don't take offense to anything that is said to me, if someone insults me. I don't really get angry too easily, and if I do get angry, I'll step back, and either calm down, or let someone else take over. Stress, depends. If it's really stressfull, I'll probably end up stepping back, thinking on it, ask for help.

Anything Else You Want to Add:
Need something (Likely the qualities question) more than I have somewhere, let me know. Other than that, I can only say that I should be rejected immediately if the fact that I have such irregular activity is a problem. Oh, and if being relatively younger on the server is a problem.

I wrote this up in Notepad, expect me to edit it, probably immediately after posting.

+1, have had a couple instances with them in game, really into furthering RP and anti-powergaming.

Zero!!

 

Zero is an awesome roleplayer, and I've never had a bad expierence with them. They keep a cool head (from what I've seen) and I do not doubt they have the capability of being an awesome moderator.

From my experiences, on an OOC level their conduct is stellar and It's hard to imagine they would ever treat anyone negatively out of turn on the server. They're cordial and pleasant to interact with. 

On an IC level. They play a wide range of characters that are very distinctive and showcase a good understanding of the game and lore. I've interacted with a lot of them at this point I think, and I'd sometimes find that certain characters I enjoyed talking to turned out to be Zer0 all along every now and then. They're fun. Doubt they would cause issues on this front.

+1.
