How long have you been playing on Aurora?

Started early 2023 I think? So I’m a little new in the grand scheme of things. 

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

I few warnings for leaving the game without cryo-ing
Permanent Ban for DC’ing after getting arrested as an antag, around when I first started. 

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?

Generally the duty of a HoS is to be the master of a bunch of apprentices, the mentor to a bunch of mentorees (?). For the player, a HoS gives them the relief that a true patriot is in control, someone they can go to if things trouble them. It’s for this reason that the HoS role is so important, obviously you are not totally necessary for an everyday round, meaning you can’t just float but strive to beat an ambivalent average. People also expect you to know how to lead and to know what you're doing, and with lower pop you can’t just delegate your problems all the time. 

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?
Other than teaching players the game, I think a major responsibility is standard. Even if your Command Char isn’t the most interesting, you're still a part of the big leagues. You've demonstrated that you're an experienced player and thus deserve to have powers invested in you over the lives of other characters. You have the power to literally ruin some characters' careers, a CW player should know this always and be aware that at the end of the day, we're all just playing a game. 

Explain how the recent events in the Spur changed your character and how they came to be employed on the SCCV Horizon.

Ooruex'Yutiex Lish-Xoio? Why would a 328-year-old skrell go out of their way to work within the SCC Horizon? 

Truth be told, the Nralaak Federation is not all well, the Phoron Scarcity is graining, and the Traverse is getting too big to ignore. The Nralaak Federation is at a standstill, backed into a corner with their affiliation with Sol, which is under strain with recent missions to Biesel. Logistics has to take on the burden, NraLogi freighters work double time to keep the inevitable slow and drawn out. Technology, once the pride and plentiful boon of the Federation has become a pipe dream for most on the lower index. Even with the ITM's defeat, with how the Federation has divided itself the Traverse will only expand and grow stronger. It won't be long until the Pluat, or some more strong-armed influences come for the polite core. Some are unsure of how long the Federalist Dynasty can hold on as political alternatives spring up to make there stand, with the furthering of public relations and trade only exacerbating these foreign ideas. Many hope that the long-standing Federation can keep its promise. 

Yutiex doesn't have that hope, in their eyes the victory against the ITM just foreshadowed the end of an era. Born in the dark times of the Glorsh-Era, they carry the now rare insight into a time before the Federation and survived an abuse that leads to little questioning. Surprisingly, Yutiex doesn't have as much fervor for the Federation as one would suspect from those of the weeping generations. Working as a Senior Manager with Nralogi, they have grown concerned at the firsthand accounts of rising shortages and deficits, the long-term gas shortage and the lack of proper alternatives. Originally a supporter of Jurgl, they have grown unimpressed by how they have proceeded the diplomacy on the galactic stage. It may not be best to stay in government management for much longer in the long-term, why not broaden the horizon? 

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

Operations Manager - My second character was a hanger tech, and so I feel at home in the bay. I’m not just choosing this because “It’s the easiest” but actually because it’s a great test of my leadership skills. Orion is unique among the corps because of its lower standards regarding employees, and so HTs are known to be from less friendlier backgrounds. People are a lot more divided on routine, sorting, and bounties so compromises need to be made. Finally, there are miners who I have to trust and can’t micro-manage, which gives me the task of juggling soft and hard power.

Executive Officer - Pretty much ditto on the first but add the fact that your damm smacking HICOM. Definitely a role I’m excited to try out as it can help connect the most rp intensive and separated department: Service/Civilian. 

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:

Ooruex'Yutiex Lish-Xoio - Operations Manager
Lincolin Owens - Executive Officer (This’ll be later down the line though) 

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

Of course, same with my whitelists I have been grateful for the trust you’ve all put in me. 

Have you linked your BYOND account to the Forums?

Yes.
