How long have you been playing on Aurora?: It's been about two years since I first played on the server, but I've been playing actively there for a few months.
Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they?
No.

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 think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is largely to facilitate the roleplay of the rest of the department. Ensuring that everyone else has something to do, coordinating them when their work is needed - a department head shouldn't be an all-access superhuman, but someone who largely makes things easier for the rest of their department and tries to facilitate interesting and fun roleplay, as well as undertaking most of the IC management stuff- training new people, liasing between the captain and your staff. Basically, it's all about delegation.

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?:
The OOC responsibilities of whitelisted players are, as I said above, facilitating interesting roleplay - as a head of staff, you have a responsibility to try and make rounds interesting and fun for your department's players. However, there's also the importance of mechanical knowledge - to play the head of a department, you should be at least familiar with every aspect of it. You don't necessarily need to be an expert, but you should know at least the basics in the case of training new players, as well as assisting wherever is needed.

Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau ceti and how it affected your character and their career?
Currently, shit's fucked. The Spur is in a widespread economic crisis due to the sudden shortage of phoron, the former superpower of the Sol Alliance has collapsed leaving behind a mess of pirates, warlords and fractured states, and right now one group of said pirates is going to fire a big-ass bomb at the only new source of phoron that's been discovered. My most played character, Casimir Tilton, was largely impacted by this, having worked in the field of phoron research for Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals before the crisis began. After the Violet Dawn incident, the projects he was working on were shelved, and he wound up being volunteered for the SCCV Horizon mission.

What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted?
Research Director and Consular Officer once the trial period is over.

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.:
Rudabah Khonsari, Research Director. I also may promote my existing scientist character to RD one day, but I'd like to get some experience playing the job first. I'd also like to play a Vaurca or Unathi Consular Officer at some point, because big bugs and feudal lords are cool.

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

Have you linked your byond account to the forums? 
Yes.

Extra notes: None.

I can't pretend to know RustingWithYou well, but I've never once had a negative experience roleplaying with them. They make fun characters, seem quite knowledgable with the lore, and roleplay quite well. I think they'd manage to do well with a command whitelist, so it's not hard at all for me to give them a +1.

[Kelnor]

Casmir's been fun to play with, but remember sir, a borosilicate window can't protect you from the horrors of command, or a rampaging CMO.

+1 for a trial.

[Fluffy]

+1 casimir and avek, which i interacted most, are well played, good RPer, definitely worth a trial

[La Villa Strangiato]

rusting sucks. also he knows research very well and i've seen him play research director on other servers, which he has pulled off impressively. i think he understands what being a command character is and he can do this well. +1

[BoomerThor]

+1 for Casimir, he knows his job very well and the RP he does is very enjoyable. I haven't seen the other characters as much. I believe he will make a good addition to command, despite him using owo speak on me in LOOC

[EJJ]

Casimir is fun to play with, from what I've played with him. I enjoy his miner as well (who I've seen dead more than alive as OM). He's good at RP and generally brings fun options to the table.
+1

[MattAtlas]

On trial until 16DEC2022.

So, I have had a round with my first captain, and we had a merc gimmick which involved peace talks with an SFA crew, Rusty's RD, was quite enjoyable, active, communicated well, and a good addition to the command team while I was captain as Michiko Kirishima. 

+1

[GrazalThruka]

+1. Played with RustingWithYou quite a bit, although never directly under their RD. Casimir is incredibly competent, however, and my experience with their other RP makes me think they'll be excellent command material

[MattAtlas]

Accepted.
