How long have you been playing on Aurora? 

Probably 2-3 years, I don't really know for sure to be honest.

Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they?

I've received two warnings which are now expired about the naming of my Eridanian and their skin tone and about fighting with antags when I could have escaped.

 

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?
My view is that they're supposed to coordinate a group of players (Their department, if necessary more, should the situation arise) and teach new ones (They are the most experienced, afterall). They are also there to try and increase the fun factor, example being: It's not fun to just hand out lethals as the HoS when you know you're fighting a hulked vampire or changeling just because you have meta knowledge that stuns won't really work, keeping things interesting isn't always just dealing with the immediate threat, although you also need to know when you have to prioritize mechanics over gameplay as well.

 

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 part of a "trusted" group, way more than a normal player. I'd strive to uphold them by doing my best to  focus on the roleplay aspect as well as trying to best toe the fine line of not making the round hell for antagonists but also not making it unbelievable and hard for the crew.

 

Explain how the recent events in the Spur changed your character and how they came to be employed on the SCCV Horizon.
I have quite a lot of characters as of now, and they've been affected in different ways, so I will cover the two who were affected the most.  Bill's whole story is centered around the Mars fires, and how his daughter died in the destruction of Great London, which made him defect from Sol to Biesel, he worked at the Aurora, then asked to transfer to the Horizon for the better pay. Kethlyn's story is all about the Sol Invasion arc, she was previously a TCFL fighter and troop transport pilot and after the "Lights Above Mendell" event, she lost a lot of friends, which eventually led to her choice of moving to the reserve and join the SCC under a capital ship artillery learning program, and when the weaponry was installed on the Horizon, she was assigned to it. 

 

What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted?
Research Director, Head of Security, Chief Engineer, Chief Medical Officer, Liaison and Consular.

 

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:
Naomi Kido as HoS, Zhao Huang as Research Director, Nakshatra Bhasin as Chief Engineer and Mustafa Al'Kazeem as Chief Medical Officer.

 

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:
I haven't felt the necessity to apply once more after my previous denial due to playtime and hiatuses, however, now I'd like to join Command, and I feel like my playtime's been pretty good and consistant as well as my gameplay and roleplay.

Application denied for the same reasons as before. Please note you will not be granted a head of staff whitelist again I'm afraid.
