CCIA Staff Application

Basic Information
Byond key: 
- Loorey
Character names: 
- Jennavia Levine, Casey Wildkins, Keira Yamamoto, Nebula, Phillip De Vos.. some of my most played in recent-ish times, quite a few more too.
Age:
- 22 years old!
Timezone:
- Central European Time (UTC+1)
What times are you most available?: 
- Usually around 1600-2300 my time within the week, very flexible on fridays and the weekend. 

Experience
How long have you played SS13?:
- Account was created in 2018 and that's roughly where I started playing SS13 too. 
How long have you played on Aurora?:
- Also roughly since 2018, but there's breaks in-between every now and then. 
How active on the forums, discord and/or server are you?: 
- Not super active posting wise on the forums but I read a lot, very very active on the Discord and semi-active on the Server, depends on the day and my motivation to play. 
Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?:
- Nope, clean vest. No warnings either. 
Have you ever volunteered as moderation staff for any other servers, SS13 or otherwise?:
- Yup, I've been a Moderator here on Aurora from 2023 to early 2026.
Do you have any other experience that you believe would be relevant to a position in the CCIA?:
- Directly "relevant" is hard because it's a position unlike any other that isn't commonly found on other servers or on other environments. I think my qualities from my time moderating would transfer over quite well. Beyond that, I play a lot of Corp Rep, Consular and Command characters. I also love paperwork and love messing around making cool looking forms and all. 

Personality
Why do you want to join the CCIA?:
- It was the first thing I always eyed before applying as a Moderator, I think the applications were closed though! The role of CCIA on the server in connection with the players and the setting is very unique and cool imo. As I said above I love paperwork, interviewing people and talking to people about things as Corp Rep was always primetime, especially because of the unique reactions every character has to a situation. Having to investigate into reports, connect the dots with interviews and act accordingly is quite interesting too. Beyond that? I think some more support from someone flexible in the European region with a mostly healthy and european timezone oriented sleep schedule would always be a positive addition to your team. 
What do you think are the most important qualities for a CCIA Agent to possess?:
- There's a few, most of which are connected with the questions down below. Most importantly, keeping a cool head at all times, not letting anyone stress you. You do your work at your pace and make sure you do quality work, stress automatically scratches on that quality. Always being friendly and acting in good faith is a second one. Having good self-management skills to organize your own workload, and in the position of CCIA reports and interviews is also key. And the cherry on top? Always being an unbiased and neutral middle ground. 
What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is in an ongoing round?:
- In an ongoing round there's two things that'd immediately come to my head. One, the obvious, conducting interviews with those that created or those who were mentioned in an Incident Report. The second thing that would come to mind and also be a slight addition to roleplay, if not done too often or too penetratively, would be inspections or check-ups with different departments. Seeing how they roll, seeing their set-ups and how they work and documenting such. Faxes are handled by CCIA too! Any fax that comes in and needs a response, CCIA is responsible for acting upon. You're ultimately the representative of the SCC that in-game characters can see and interact with, bridging the gap between what is the big boss of this ship and the command structure and those below it. 
What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is outside of the server?:
- Outside of the server there are many more things CCIA would be doing in my eyes: Coordinating Incident Reports, Review Requests and Appeals between one and another and doing the behind-the-scenes work in connecting dots. Discussing & and with the CCIA Lead and Administration Team(?) revising IC policies to keep them up to standard and up to what currently makes sense for the setting, it can change after all. Lastly, moderating the relay but that's a very small thing.
How do you handle stress?:
- I work in IT, shit breaks and working surrounded by broken servers and angry/impatient/frustrated people is the norm on a bad day, and we got these days more often than you think. Keeping a cool head is the key, don't let anything stress you. Juggling a lot of tickets with both angry and impatient players in my time moderating was also not really an issue. I'd say I can handle stress just fine.
How well do you work autonomously?:
- I'll redirect to my previous answer. A lot of work in both my real job and moderating too was very autonomously done. I'd say quite well.
