How long have you been playing on Aurora?: About a month now I think.
Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they?
No formal administrative actions.

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?:
The heads are there to direct and teach, they serve as both the one driving the department, and the one keeping them updated, if the bridge knows a miner is injured, it's the CMO's job to make sure first responders are on standby, if command sees someone boarding, the HoS is the one that directs officers to the hangar, at least in theory. As a head, half your job is communicating with your department and the rest of command, so that people know what the hell is going on. Your other responsibility as a head is to serve as an expert who has time to teach, you're expected to have a basic understanding of everything in your department, and to be able to walk a new player through it when required. 

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?:
As a head of staff you have a lot of power and access, you're trusted to use that power responsibly, which means you don't metagrudge or discriminate, but also that you are expected to know your role, and stay within it. as a head of staff you shouldn't be trying to micromanage what other players do, or do their jobs just because you have access. In theory a head of staff shouldn't be stepping in unless the situation calls for it. I try my best to avoid stepping on any toes when it comes to my jobs and roles, generally, I step in when there's no one better specialized around to do it, say, if the physician is busy treating a patient and someone comes in bleeding, as soon as that physician is free to handle the patient, I ask if they want to handle the rest. As for not discriminating or metagrudging, that's expected of pretty much everyone, so nothing special there, just a whole lot more power to abuse.

Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau ceti and how it affected your character and their career?
The Phoron shortage promted the SCC to launch the SCCV Horizon, a state-of-the-art prospecting vessel, to search for new sources of Phoron in the Spur, and to research it's anomalous properties. Glory Of The Unchained Seeing The Light. a veteran doctor with decades of experience, is hired on by NanoTrasen as a surgical specialist for this vessel, but soon finds themself feeling like there is more they can do to help, especially given their many years of experience. As such, they apply for a transfer of employment to the SCC and a promotion to Chief Medical Officer. 

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

Have you familiarized yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles?
Yes, I intend to strive to avoid being a 'superdoctor'

Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking.:
Glory Of The Unchained Seeing The Light

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

Have you linked your byond account to the forums? 

I have.

Application denied.

Other than the lack of feedback, I do not believe the character you have chosen is appropriate to be a head of staff, nor that you are ready to play a CMO.

If you have questions, you may DM me on Discord: mattatlas#0230
