KesterShadowHair Head of Staff Application v2.

[KesterShadowHair]

BYOND key: KesterShadowHair
Character names: Karam Viswan, Todd Mayfly, Stephen Yates, Z.I. Panther, ISU-Zellis, Holn

How long have you been playing on Aurora?: May 26th 2020
Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? Yes/ 3-day temp security ban I forget when./Antag banned feb 2021 which I applied for an appeal.

Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each.

What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: I've found that heads of staff assist the narrative of any round it helps when issues arise no one is hacking into anything to do a roundabout fashion to fulfill their role. Coordinating is important to a degree ensuring tasks have been completed and maintaining a standard.  Having a understanding of corporate regulations and what Nanotransen expects out of a head of staff. Knowing when to fax central over station issues or standard communication. Ultimately calling ERT/Shuttle if the need arises and continuing to monitor the round. Encouraging a positive environment for all players around you. Having an understanding of the culture with your crewmates paying attention to their flaws and quirks. Ensuring your department actually does their job.

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: I've always viewed this as assistance.  The individual has a good understanding of the department they play in mechanically and its terminology. Ensuring that the learner roles make people feel welcomed . I also believe they should have the capacity to assist any new player or even an veteran if the event arises that requires specific training/knowledge. Personally I would leave it known to all individuals they are more than welcome to message me about anything. 

Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau Ceti and how it affected your character and their career? The Orion Spur phoron supplies are running out. SCC being formed. The secondary Solarian invasion has split up the alliance into different sectors with their own claim to space. Jargon Federation Embassy bombed from terrorist attacks with the embassy being levelled from the result. Tau Ceti allows Skrell asylum seekers to obtain full citizenship through the TCFL. Holn a NT owned baseline serves through the SCC chain as Scientist/Messenger. Using research aboard the facility to find the next best thing to present to the SCC itself.  Karam on the other hand has built a rapport with the recent engineers. Having partaken in the ongoing effort to reconstruct Gadpathur they are also utilized as a rapid construction engineer with massive amount of experience.

What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted?CE/RD mainly. I would build myself up to another position potentially but not right away would most likely ahelp or speak to people about it.

Have you familiarized yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Yes/re-read.

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

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

Extra notes: I've been interacting with the community a lot more versus when I played before with a small clique. Its nice to be back and I'd appreciate a second chance if people vote me in. Appreciate you all <3.

Karam Viswan CE

I'm not sure how fit this character is for CE. I've definitely seen them do some very questionable stuff. The round where the giant greimorian got to the station is still a black mark in my mind. I would definitely rather see another character if this goes through. Also, aren't they a Gadpathurian? Why would a Gadpathurian be that high up in the Nanotrasen ladder?

Another thing is that you have a lot of notes, quite some warnings and two bans on your record. Why should I believe you've changed for the better?

I will revise the CE selection after reviewing it further. However some events from the round were out of my control. Reading the Gadpathur section again changed my mind about why I would select them.

I would like to draft another character for that role based off your advice here. They would be some sort of human.

As for the administrative actions/notes. I cannot go back and pretend what I did will magically go away but rather learn from the mistakes and fix the issues. After returning to server after seven month break I played for two weeks before even considering to appeal for the antagonist ban. My recent interaction with the community has made me want to do more. I'm currently in the process of learning how to use the code as well as spriting items. I wish to contribute more than I have in the past. Addressing my previous issues from February I finally went back and sought out professional help with my issues irl. It weighed on every aspect of my life and it reflected out in my ss13 experience as well. I've been attempting to correct my past mistakes  irl and online to show everyone that i'm better then what I did before hand. I'd rather not burn the bridges with everything. I enjoy being around this community and would like to involve myself more.

This is fine.

I'm fine with you being given another chance if you can get some positive feedback that proves that you've been improving your server conduct and roleplay.

An exemplary rper who by example has pushed me to delve deeper into the lore. I've been rping with a few of his characters fairly regularly for a few weeks now, never had any problems. He's always competent in roles/jobs. I genuinely like playing with him and I think you will too.

I've played with Keaster several times in the past and now, they are a good player when it comes to Roleplay and playing their departments, - it would be good to see them take up the mantle of command again +1

[RyverStyx]

I played a round as a Captain recently where Holn was one of the only members in science at the time. Holn, to me, was very professional. I believe that any character this player decides to use in command would be effective and engaging. +1

On trial until 2OCT2021.

Note that if you lose your Head of Staff whitelist a second time, you won't get a third try. Be careful!

I have been playing as Captain recently, and so far, Tep Multift has been a fantastic character. I've never interacted with him much as HoS. But until recently, I loved every second of him. He shows great RP skills and understanding of the Chief Engineer role. His very professional knowledge and workings of Command. I recommend him for Head of Staff.  +1

[whitewolftamer]

 though i havent interacted with Holn, all of my interactions with Tep have been enjoyable thus far, with Todd Mayfly also being an enjoyable character to RP with +1 from me

[MattAtlas]

Accepted.
