How long have you been playing on Aurora?: I previously played for a bout a year with different characters, but my current bout on Aurora is about 3-4 weeks in or so.  

Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they?  Haven't gotten any warnings, or anything serious to my knowledge

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, in game?:

I think that's sort of a complicated question.  Generally, I think it's a good position to be able to help players adjust to Aurora either through helping them adjust to the higher-standards RP setting than usual, or to help click better with the in-depth lore Aurora has.  Further, I think it puts you in a good position, where you're supposed to be experienced and capable of teaching newer players the ropes of the mechanics themselves, in a manner that helps keep the environment fun, and encourages people to stick around.  

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?:
 

I think a lot of this is similar to my answer above.  Generally trying to keep the environment a welcoming on that encourages players to stick around, while helping them stick within the confines of the rules, and the expected standards of roleplaying and believability.  

Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau Ceti and how it affected your character and their career?

Lore-wise, Tau Ceti has recently ballooned in size with the expansion of it's territory to include the corporate reconstruction zone, in the aftermath of the collapse of the Sol Alliance's more frontier-ish territory, along with the Phoron crisis making a lot of things more of a struggle.  Xace's career was affected as she briefly joined the Foreign legion and of course that had a affect on her,  Eleonora was part of the Alliance military prior to the collapse, and was stranded in the Wildlands, and became part of the Wildland's squadron, so that's a big part of her career path.  While Ana generally hasn't been too affected, beyond the Horizon coming into existence as a result of the situation, and her getting a place aboard as a result.  

What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted?
Initially, I think Executive Officer likely. Though I'm considering Operations, as well as the Consular role once that's an option post-trial.  

Have you familiarized yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles?
Yep, I've read over the wikipedia pages of the roles I've considered, and those I'm unlikely to take in the near future.  

Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking.:
Right now I'm just playing on an Executive Officer, named Nicol Caivaire. Though like I said I'll make a Consular role once that's an option

Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action?
Yep, sure do. It's a privilege, not a right and can be revoked as a result.  

Have you linked your byond account to the forums? 

Sure have

I've seen Fated roleplay Eleonora Van Der Veen and Xace Barzani both very well, the characters seem to have a firm understanding of Aurora lore, and are very good at making them seem believable, and actually interesting. I fully believe that if Fated did get a XO role, it would be a major boon to not only the command staff of the ship, but also be a rather interesting character to roleplay with. They've earned by +1

I've had several good interactions with Fated icly, I think their characters are well roleplayed and well developed. I am sure they could do a good job with a Command whitelist, and continue to make and roleplay Head characters quite well. +1

[anti27club]

This is a player that takes a lot of care in how they roleplay and makes a concerted effort to be as well versed in the lore as possible before even stepping foot into a server. Layer this with their generous devotion to good interactional RP as well as the most fleshed out flavour texts I have ever seen, this player is more than deserving of a head of staff role and I have no doubt they would go over and above to fulfil the requirements of that position. +++1
