CampinKiller Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 BYOND key: CampinKiller Character names: Marc Price, Matt Price, M.O.T.H.E.R., Mike Fisher How long have you been playing on Aurora?: A couple months or so. I played here before I went on hiatus back in July, so no idea what the actual time is. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I want to be able to play (Marc) Price as HoS, and I've always enjoyed playing Command staff on other servers. Why did you come to Aurora?: Because I enjoy roleplay. Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Yes. 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 acting out a character who is playing a certain role in a world/story/whatever. This includes acting out a character's thoughts, emotions, actions, etc. It should be about creating an interesting story that isn't just fun for you, but for the people you are roleplaying with as well. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The OOC purpose of a Head of Staff entails multiple roles. On one hand, new players will look to other players (esp. the head of staff of their department) as a role model, and as such a head of staff needs to act as a role model. On the other hand, the head of staff is sort of like a moderator on an IC level, and needs to ensure the people in their department are doing good roleplay and not chucklef*cking. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: To provide a great roleplaying experience by being able to make decisions that further the roleplay of a round, and provide the management of the station. They also serve as rolemodels for newer players when it comes to roleplaying properly and performing the duties of managing a department properly. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Marc Price Character age: 37 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Marc Price was born on August 14, 2420, in the megacity of Dallas. He has an older twin brother, Matt, who was born 7 minutes before he was, and a younger sister, Amanda, who is 7 years younger than him. His early life was uneventful, as the middle child of two hardworking parents. Upon entering grade school, he began playing ice hockey. Throughout school he consistently underachieved, preferring to focus on athletics rather than schoolwork, which resulted in him graduating high school at the age of 18 with a 2.9 GPA. However, as a result of his athletic success, he played Tier I Junior Hockey, starting at the age of 17. Marc would eventually be drafted by the New York Rangers at the age of 19. He would split time between the Rangers' AHL affiliate and the NHL team for the next 2 years, before suffering post-concussion syndrome after an injury in a fight towards the end of his 1st full season in the NHL (his 3rd season overall), and retiring as a result of the injury. In the months after his health-related retirement, Marc grew increasingly depressed and turned to drinking. By the time he turned 23, he was an alcoholic in every sense of the word, and his post-concussion syndrome still bothered him most days. A few months prior to his 24th birthday, he decided to enroll in an alcoholic group therapy program, and also applied to NanoTrasen's Internal Security division, going through their year-long cadet program. In May of 2445, he graduated the cadet program, becoming a full-time member of NanoTrasen Internal Security. Since then, he has been posted at a number of different NanoTrasen facilities, and has only recently been transferred to the NSS Aurora. As of his 37th birthday, he has been sober for 14 years. He is now seeking a promotion to the level of a Head of Security, having recently received his Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice, and an Associate's Degree in Computer Science. What do you like about this character?: Not a snowflake. No dead parents growing up, not some war-hero combat vet type who will never be afraid of anything ever, but an Average Joe who needed a job, found work in NanoTrasen, and built his career from there. Also, he normally tries to conduct himself with professionalism, though that doesn't always happen in extreme situations, or with people that have angered him. Also, he issues warnings for minor crimes, usually. So there's that. What do you dislike about this character?: Regulations whore. For the most part, he'll have no problem shoving someone into the Brig for violating minor and obscure regulations, though he usually reserves that for people that have either been warned previously, or have been a complete pain in the ass. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: Besides meeting the basic requirements, Price is competent. He knows how Security should work, and how the people in Security should do their jobs. He also knows that some officers just don't want to do their jobs, or f*ck around while doing their jobs, and would just love to fix that issue. While he doesn't like paperwork, he knows that it's almost never used, or filed for that matter, by most of Security, and knows that that is a problem. Also, when it comes to Officers and other Security members behaving inappropriately or otherwise violating Regulations (which can be common), he's not going to let them slide, or issue a warning (except for the most minor offenses). Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: 8/10. I feel I'm a good roleplayer, but have room for improvement. Extra notes:
Owen Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 About time, I will have to say, I have roleplayed with CampinKiller quite a bit and fully approve this application on the basis that he knows how to handle himself. I think that he would do a good job in a Command role. +1 from me.
Synnono Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Also, he normally tries to conduct himself with professionalism[...] The last time I saw Marc, he casually opened a nearby corridor airlock, flashed an assistant, took a good hold of him, and threw him through it down the hall for harassing an engineering apprentice nearby. I loved it Joking aside, I play with Marc as my IAA on a semi-normal basis, and I think the player and character would do fine in a Command position. No red flags to see, he's a familiar face, a communicative character, and an officer who has a mind for the company's rules. I'd happily support this. They also serve as rolemodels for newer players when it comes to roleplaying properly and performing the duties of managing a department properly. Also, I very-agree with this. +1.

UnknownMurder Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I have had no problems with CampinKiller anytime whilst roleplaying. I very much do like Marc Price's roleplay in several directions. He is mature and can handle the Security job, occasionally, he takes charge and becomes the model of leadership. We need people like him. +1
Garnascus Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Decent amount of feedback so far, little bit more and you should be lookin good. Remember you can advertise a link in OOC once per round.
Bibiex Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 So marc price is campin killer, you already saved my character... tons of time, you're a good roleplayer but I never saw you using the command "me", your character is mature and never do shit... just sometimes, anyway this is a +1
Guest Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 From many times I've played with him, I can attest that CapinKiller is a great player and a has a knack for playing an security officer. I suggest having him take interim a few times to see how well he handles HoS.
coolbc2000 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Oh man Marc Price. He is really the only one i can trust in a Firefight. He is a great Security Officer and i know i will have a laid back shift when he is on the Job. Not Sure how he will fit in the HoS position because he has never been commanding or in a Interim HoS position. But I give my full support for this. +1 The best of luck, of course.
Jennalele Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Echoing what some others have said. ABOUT TIME. +1 from me. I've had great RP with him as an officer and as an antag. Even today, I had some great officer RP where Price and Decanus busted a drug deal in true sting fashion. You can trust him in a firefight- Unless he's secretly the traitor, in which case, he just might take you hostage on Telecomms.

TishinaStalker Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Application approved. Glory to Aurora.
