Das_Boot Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 BYOND key:Das_Boot Character names: Thomas Callahan How long have you been playing on Aurora?: 2 1/2 - 3 months Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: To play as HoP and because most of the time when I'm on there are barely any Heads available or none at all. Why did you come to Aurora?: To Heavy-RP Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Yes I have, although I still have to learn about the jobs under most of them, the main role I want (HoP) is one I believe I understand and excel at. Please provide well articulated and argumented answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about: Roleplay is, to me, taking on a role and personality that is not of your own and acting it out as you believe that character would. The best role-players can construct elaborate backgrounds and psychological profiles for there characters that are believable, with all the quirks and eccentricities that we all would have. Roleplaying on a game like SS13 though, should be about creating a unique and enjoyable environment where everyone's characters have a part. If that means dieing while cowering in a corner, bravely fighting an alien with a broom, treating the sick, or just generally being an ass while you demand signatures for that shipment of emergency supplies, all of these unique personalities would come together to form an interesting and unique story. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The purpose of the head of staff is generally two-fold. First, to ensure that there department is running efficiently and getting things done in-line with corporate regulations and SOP. Second, that the moral of there staff remains high, although not at the expense of of efficiency or regulations. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: I'd assume following the directions of the admin would be a priority (like when they tell everyone to shut up), as well as being calm and mature about IC and OOC situations (like if you believe someone ICly acted inappropriately, take it to the forums and not OOC) and help new players who have any questions, if you know the answer for sure, otherwise direct them to ahelp it, to the wiki, or to the forums. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Thomas Callahan Character age: 30 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Thomas Callahan, or Tom to his friends, was born on the NTV Volans to Archibald and Melissa Callahan. His early life was unique from most in that he spent a majority of his childhood on ships and stations belonging to NanoTrasen, with both of his parents working for the company there was little other choice. As such, from early on learned general maintnance and construction from his father (who was a an Engineer) and Corporate Regulations and Procedures from his mother (a ship navigator, later promoted to Station Clerk and then Personnel Officer). This unique upbringing also gave him unique insight into the life of the average employee. At age 17 he was inducted into the Engineering Cadet Program, where he excelled and was stationed the very ship he was born on. Wanting to mix things up and, more importantly, try something new, Thomas transferred out of the Engineering Department and over to an open mining position on NT RIG-20114. Three years later, Thomas would be one of only 20 to survive, out of a total of 230 personnel. Thomas was eventually transferred to a cargo supervisor position, before finally accepting a job as quartermaster on board the Aurora. The loss of his friends onboard the mining RIG has always haunted Thomas, and he has developed a deep fear of fire as a result. He is generally relaxed, but takes the lives of those under him very seriously. What do you like about this character?: His dedication to those under him and his relaxed attitude. What do you dislike about this character?: The fact that he is extremely loyal to NanoTrasen and his belief that he owes them anything. Do you think this character is fit to be a Head of Staff?: Absolutely, he has a spotless record of departmental reviews and an above-average safety record for those serving under him. He is also efficient, organized, and loyal, all key traits for the HoP position. Please provide well articulated and argumented answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I would say I am average, to above average? I haven't had much feedback, but I believe I have significantly improved and will only continue to do so. Extra notes: I'd like to make it clear that I only intend to have one character in the HoP role, as I have RPed and fully understand all of the positions in the supply and service categories. I admittedly need some more work in some of the more advanced positions of Security, Medical and Engineering before I would even think of touching those head roles. Link to comment
Dea Tacita Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The purpose of the head of staff is generally two-fold.

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: I'd assume following the directions of the admin would be a priority (like when they tell everyone to shut up), as well as being calm and mature about IC and OOC situations (like if you believe someone ICly acted inappropriately, take it to the forums and not OOC) and help new players who have any questions, if you know the answer for sure, otherwise direct them to ahelp it, to the wiki, or to the forums. You have most everything on this, except that it's a priority for whitelisted players to create a situation where RP can successfully ensue. Other than that, it looks alright. I'll give you another day or two to get player feedback, and then make my decision. Link to comment
