Hypnotoad Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 BYOND key: Greenpoison Character names: Jamie Clark How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Over a month now. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I believe it will enhance mine and others roleplay experiences. Why did you come to Aurora?: I was browsing servers, found the community and well, fell in love with the whole of Aurora. Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Yes, I have. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about: Roleplay is putting yourself in situations virtually. It is not just a "game genre" as you physically are the character, your personality is their personality, it is merely putting yourself in a new scenario. Roleplay is not just about scenarios however, it is also about discovering more to your personality and how you actually interact with others. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: To make sure that everything runs smoothly and sort any problems inside of the department, along with helping new players settle in. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: They are primarily role models, they are what players in that department look up to and how they are expected to not only behave but aspire to. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Jamie Clark Character age: 37 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Jamie grew up in a modern city in Kwasheikedo, south of Kaplicantious. Where he was raised, sent to private schools, and generally pampered by his rich parents, despite him not seeing his parents often, other than when it was his birthday or he had to be seen publicly, he always looked up to them. His father was the head of a private military group that was rapidly expanding at that time, and his mother was a model (apparently she modelled for magazines and tv shows, but little Jamie was never told what exactly). Jamie remained in his parents household until the age of twenty, where he worked part time in his father's military force as a telecommunications engineer (eventually working up to the rank of head telecommunications engineer) and as a student of politics. Jamie was frequently bullied at his private school, until his parents paid off his bullies, however when Jamie was informed of this move, he confronted the bullies and assaulted them, for this he was punished with a fine which he did not worry about, Jamie passed the school with distinctions and spent 2 more years in his father's force. Jamie then applied for work and ended up as a worker on NSS Aurora. What do you like about this character?: I like this character as he is not afraid to carry out what he thinks is right, he is able to follow law and orders from his superiors, and he has morales. What do you dislike about this character?: I dislike the fact that Jamie can be prone to saying the occasional profanity if he is stressed, and he has a habit of smoking a lot. He is also bad at handling alcahol, he can resist it, but if he comes across it, he most likely will finish the bottle which can impair his judgement. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: He was brought up with discipline and has a firm understanding of the law, he understand NSS Aurora and he is able to make correct decisions. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I would rate myself an eight out of ten. Extra notes:
Fire and Glory Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 *Ahem* I'll just point out some things. Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about: Roleplay is putting yourself in situations virtually. It is not just a "game genre" as you physically are the character, your personality is their personality, it is merely putting yourself in a new scenario. Roleplay is not just about scenarios however, it is also about discovering more to your personality and how you actually interact with others.Self inserts are generally frowned upon for being a tad more sensitive, how would you feel if an antagonist had a short word with you about why you worked for NanoTrasen and then blew your head off with a revolver? Or if your character was fired for incompetence? What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: To make sure that everything runs smoothly and sort any problems inside of the department, along with helping new players settle in. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: They are primarily role models, they are what players in that department look up to and how they are expected to not only behave but aspire to. It does say a paragraph each and I believe these are a bit short, can you expand a bit?
Hypnotoad Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 If an a tag was putting my character in that situation then my character would accept death in name of his duties, he knows nothing other than order, discipline and loyalty for nanotransen so if that was taken away from him his life would spiral, he wouldn't accept someone trying to disobey nanotransen. As for being fired, his life would spiral and his whole personality would be altered massively. I will expand on my paragraphs later today as it is nearly one am here and I need to sleep.
