Command Application - Stobarico

[stobarico]

BYOND key:  Stobarico

• Character names: Yumi Yamato (Roboticist), Rim Soo-Min (Scientist), Samuel Nowak (Security Officer), Noah Mayfly (Merchant), Zhao Huang (Xenoarcheologist), Bill Dornelles (Investigator), Ren Katsunaga (EMT), Gregory Popov (Priest), Kip McNamara (Cook). I do have the intention of making a few new characters, one from Gadpatur, one from Assunzione and one from Elyra, but I don't know their roles or stories yet.
• How long have you been playing on Aurora?: A bit more than a year by now, I reckon.
• Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? Not that I know / remember of.
  
   
• What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: Coordinate their department, solve disputes, fill in paperwork and help out newer players.
• What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: As a whitelisted player, you're supposed to be within a "trusted" group of people who are known to be decent roleplayers, know the lore and not "shitters". Honestly, I wouldn't change much, as I feel like I already do my best to strive to be a good community member in general, although maybe I could get more involved in the Discord.
• Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau ceti and how it affected your characters and their careers? A rogue Solarian fleet attempted to raid Tau Ceti, causing much political turmoil. The Sol Alliance is beginning to falter and split apart as a new power rises, the conglomerate of several megacorporations (Hephaestus, Nanotrasen, Zeng-Hu, EPMC, Zavodskoi and Idris) named the SCC (Stellar Corporate Conglomerate). It depends, each character has their own story, some of them with severe impact of these recent events: Yumi as a TCFL Legionnaire likely had and still has to deal with the Solarians, as the fleet losing in combat meant it splintered into raiders, pirates and mercenaries. Soo-Min now hates Sol nationalists due to them ransacking her planet, Konyang, although she's been more understanding on "not all Solarians are loyalists" than before. Bill's a recent character, developed around this arc, he was an agent of Solarian Investigation Bureau who defected and now lives in Mendell under political asylum. (Tldr: He deserted because he lived on Mars and one of the big phoron fires destroyed the arcology he lived, killing one of his children). Those are the ones that have been most impacted, I'd say.

 

• What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? Research Director, Consular and Representative. These are less likely for me to play, but I might give it a shot: Head of Security and Captain.
• Have you familiarized yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Yes
• Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking: Rim Soo-Min (Research Director) and perhaps Noah Mayfly as a Consular/Rep (This one depends on the NBT and if Merchants will still be a thing, otherwise he'll remain a Merchant).
• Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Yes

This is not the first time you attempt to elevate your scientist character to head of staff, or make a merchant that magically becomes a liason/consular officer. Your past whitelist attempts show that you were questioned about these choices, and I don't understand why you're doing it again.

Other than that, I can't say I'm impressed exactly by your characters. I've seen them around and I don't particularly remember them. However, knowing you played Helena Raymond makes me really weary of your IC behavior, and the feedback in your previous apps just shows a history of escalated aggressiveness. Will you behave the same this time?

I do have to echo some of the concerns of desven. I had some during your last trial with your characters being overly hostile toward the way others (specifically me) ran their department. While that’s fine to a point, it was so over the top, and to be honest, I’m not sure if I’ve seen you playing enough since then to make me think that you might’ve improved in that regard

Truly, the same things again, however as I said about the Merchant, I'd only do that again if the Merchant role was removed due to us moving to the NBT, and this time, it would make a lot more sense, as Noah would be representing either a trade union or the Scarabs. Helena, huh? Been a while, when I saw that name I didn't even recognize it, well, actions speak louder than words, and Kip, my new cook hasn't gotten into any trouble nor has the same personality.

To address this and Soo-Min's aggressiveness, I believe not only I've grown as a person, but the character herself is definitively more lenient and fleshed out, although Soo-Min is still one of my simpler characters, compared with Bill, Gregory, Ren and Noah. Also, I usually play 1+ times a day.

Do you have a discord account? I have some current issues with your attitude that I would rather not discuss here in public.

This application is being denied. The applicant is free to apply again in at least a month from now, with the caveat of their OOC conduct slate being clean at that time.
