What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, in game?
Heads help the flow of a round, aiding in the control, regularity, and ability for roleplay to be conducted at a higher level than without. This is done through the facilitation of either antags gimmicks or smooth operation of workflow in their allotted department, providing areas of roleplay within workplace coordination with the ability for gimmicks or character motivations to be given room to express themselves through. This can manifest through things such as the small events to build the team or structure for the team to push upon or build within.

The command also provides areas of guidance and support for players that may feel unsure or require a more guiding hand to fully fulfill their duties, manifesting in the ability to get quick answers to questions or guidance that allows the round to continue without hiccups. The best heads are the ones that analyze and delegate others to provide them with opportunities to conduct high-quality roleplay/gameplay and to generally provide an environment where characters can grow

 

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?
Whitelisted players are able to be leaned on for the knowledge and roleplay they can produce, giving a model for other players to either learn or experience different roleplay/gameplay styles, allowing the further progression of not only the player's character but the player's skill. To uphold such, the Whitelisted player needs to put emphasis on full engagement with the game and characters within it. Providing characters the aid in the development both in and outside of the game, providing feedback, tips, or full guidance. Obviously not to be taken lightly, These goals would be undertaken by me to provide others that may not be as informed or need help developing their character to allow a better roleplay experience for all within or to provide further gameplay/roleplay opportunities for characters already fully built

 

Explain how the recent events in the Spur changed your character and how they came to be employed on the SCCV Horizon.
Ouzao Zaeko is a Unathi born to a noble Shieldbearer clan, trained to be a potential officer with his younger brother. While considered a wash-out, his experience in tactics and his later enlistment and time participating in the destructive contact war allowed him to produce a sizable resume for the Hephaestus Security team. His family at this point placed all their support in his younger brother that became a Slhiri and quickly climbed the ranks, While also being busy moving to their new home on Ouerea during the reign of overlord Yiztek, leading to Zaeko being off to fend for himself.

Zaeko's time in the Hephaestus Security team was met with high praise, as not only did he complete all necessary training swiftly but did so without complaining or conflict. He was positioned on a large Orbital Hephaestus super factory for around 8 years, displaying a high-level competency in the act of conflict resolution. This continued for a few years before a shake-up within Ouera caused a reposition of many within the security leading him to be placed around the position of the Hephaestus's Headquarters in Um'a'yid  to attempt to aid in the unrest. He was stationed there for five years, and although slight skirmishes with rebel groups happened here and there he largely had a more quiet position compared to many others on the planet. Aiding in the attempts to not let Um'a'yid fall to the same levels of unrest as New Skalamar or K'rath, Zaeko took strides in helping the local population with various smaller disputes allowing him to grant Hephaestus with a tiny bit better of a reputation with the people he worked with, which was a huge victory in his books. 

Recently during the year 2456, the iron boot of the hegemony was placed on the planet allowing Zaeko to move away from the facilities he had watched over with the new legion of forces providing good enough protection. Due to his continued service and expertise across various locations, he was presented with the offer of being stationed on an SCC vessel as a head of security. Seeing his presence as no longer needed, and being such a great leap for his career, he accepted with haste
