Why did you come to Aurora?: Heavy RP baby.

Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Si.

Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each.

Fuck, I suck at writing. God damn, a fucking paragraph, I can barely make two sentences!

Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about:

RP is your chance at a new life, enjoying a different story and making choices that you watch unfold into consequences. RP is a FUN thing to do. RP should be living the life you want with no regerts and watching a world different from yours.LARPing is TOTALLY different and TOTALLY gey. lel.

What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?:

A Head of Staff is to accept a way of life. Knowing that you're the one keeping others in line, making sure they're doing what they are there for, and making sure nothing fucks up. Heads are there to help the newer players learn the ropes, teach them how to make big holes in the station, or holes in the crew. And that sweet ass job title is no joke.

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 the ones who uphold the meaning of RP. The ones who are devoted into their characters, who adopted a new personality or incorporated theirs into the realm that is SS13. They are the ones who keep every feeling, every word, every phrase in Aurora realistic and lifelike. The shining beacons of example! At least. They're supposed to be. And I guess I would keep on doing what I've been doing.

Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions.

Character name: Joriah Micheals

Character age: Thirty

Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs):

Joriah Micheals. A mediocre height of six feet, weighing in at around 180, he comes from a upper class family from Mars. Having felt very little discomfort during his childhood years, and his parents focusing on his education, due to unwillingness to have him become like his brother Anthony, or disappear like his brother Benjamin. Joriah went to many different schools, studying anything he could get his hands on while conversing with the general populous learning their culture. However, he found focusing on one subject boring. Unwilling to focus his lifetime to just one thing, he took as many classes as he could, becoming knowledgeable in many fields but is only a master of few. After graduating with several PhDs in many fields of science and medicine, he found out through advice from a colleague and friend that NT would grant him fields out of his wildest dreams. He decided to sign his life away at the deat- Ahem. Scientifically advanced station Aurora and learned soon through his job, his friend was a douche.

Later on through his job occupation, Joriah having made a stupid mistake in trusting others to properly configure the Telescience console, was teleported onto a asteroid too close to what seemed to be a black hole.The black hole was distorting the space and time around Joriah aging him faster than he should have. He resigned himself to death, and prepared for the inevitable as his oxygen was going to run out. So he sat and started reminiscing his past, all the regrets, the mistakes, and the successes. He decided. His mistakes and regrets heavily out weigh the successes! This was no time to die! He sought about, looking for a answer to his predicament. Having no clue on what to do, or where he was flung, he decided to jump off the asteroid and float about in space. Using his PDA as a speed boost to getting away from the asteroid's gravity, he was flying at incredible speeds having forgotten to account for the asteroid's velocity too. Clueless on how he was going to survive, seeing as he's heavily reliant on luck right now, he kept floating. Until, he couldn't breathe. Everything was going dark. Then, brightness. He's on the ground shaking, coughing, and feeling like he's dying. But he's alive. Naked, cold, but alive. What's more, he's back in Aurora. His eyes in disbelief upon being debriefed by the Captain on how lucky they were to find his corpse about a month after he went missing. He couldn't believe it. He was back on this shit hole of a station. Unfortunately, due to his corpse having aged from the time dilation of the black hole, he was now classified biologically as around mid thirties. Wanting to seem younger, he picked thirty and blamed it on the smoking.

What do you like about this character?:

Smart, friendly.

What do you dislike about this character?:

Gets bored quick, dislikes being looked down upon.

What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?:

He has a wide knowledge on all things science, not to mention decent at conversing with people. RD does broaden his horizon on what he can do.

Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions.

How would you rate your own roleplaying?: On a scale of one to ten, I would say a eight. I try to do things what someone like Joriah would do and keep it consistent, but sometimes, when I'm a mothafukken Antag, and I want to get my shit done I don't usually aim for killing because that's putting people out of a round. But when I get pushed, I push back with thunder. And by thunder I mean bombs*. Joriah wouldn't do that cause he's a nice friendly guy, making friends all around. But, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do to make 'dem thalers.

Extra notes: Idk mang. Urm. I'm a pretty dank guy to be around.

P.S. When I say Bombs, I mean one-two. I don't aim to blow up the whole fucking station.

Two birds with one stone. No issues, no tissues. Pls no nitpick, I really hate making words. I got a two on my SAT exam.

This may be handy, in particular, the Tier-10 area, and it's age requirements.

You only have one paragraph of backstory (It's a decent one though), I'd drop in a second for luck, like the template says.

I think Joriah hired Inis as an assistant once or twice? Seemed alright, +1 from me when the two issues mentioned are sorted.

[Owen]

I have seen your character in a few rounds. They didn't seem too bad to me at least. Your backstory looks alright and from what I could see on the server, your behavior both ICly and OOCly wasn't bad. I will give you a +1 for now.

[Aznmang]

Well golly gee, thanks Golle and Owen.

-1, plays an Android named asshole, and as a MalfAI, ganked half the crew, and didn't roleplay with most people to the point where I didnt even know we had one until people started dying.

I thought I roleplayed pretty well. No one was asking for my attention and I do remember multiple times when I tried to interact with the crew. You can't pin that on me when no one wanted to interact back, and I didn't murderbone people until the end when they tried breaking into my upload and I destroyed the whole station using the self destruct.

[Aznmang]

Bump.

[Sadistic Nightmare]

Seen this guy on several servers before. Pretty good roleplayer, interacted with him as several different characters, always fun to re-meet. +1.

I dunno, I've only seen Joirah Micheals do toxins research (which he does very well by the way) and research and development, and the R&D isn't the best craftsmanship I've ever seen, not to say it's bad either. I think that you should probably beef up your experiences around the sciences, not for learning how to do the jobs (all though this can be really helpful) but in order to learn all the procedures and paperwork that go behind all of them. Most people in science don't know how to put their name on a paper, and as RD, you really have to know those papers inside and out to be able to help them out in case IA comes in, or an AI reports a regulation breach.

-1 for now, but after some time in the future I'd be willing to flip this over

[Chada1]

I've had very very very bad experiences with Joriah in the past. Namely, you got Antag and bombed the Station to hell two times in a row in dead hour. I haven't forgotten that.

-1 unless you explain yourself.

And I am impressed with your views on what the purpose of a head is, and what their responsibilities are.

I'm pretty sure I only set off two per round. And besides that, I usually aim for Sec Armory/Sec and Bridge/AI due to RP raisons. Giving me a -1 just because I set off a maximum of 4 bombs during dead hours doesn't seem very reasonable. I get you're unhappy, but damn man, at least give some insight on my non-antag rounds!

I have a jumbled memory on why I set off those bombs though. I do think, the one in Northern Central Hallway was to disable Bridge and traffic to EVA/Security. And I'm pretty sure the one I set off in Sec was to kill the remaining Sec members + Captain + free my Cultist friend.

wat.

I thought my R&D skills were great! I used to get* Mat at 7 and pretty much every thing else at 6. Even then, I go around the station upgrading machines!

But on the subject of the paperwork, I'll get started on that shiz today.

Server update removed being able to deconstruct items with reliability.

This was the type of explanation I was looking for. Alright, i'll change my -1 to a +1 since I obviously didn't have the full story. I thought you bombed just to bomb. I was mistaken, sorry. But you still bombed with the express purpose of killing everybody, try not to do that, please. It's not fun for everyone, just the cult.

You wanted insight? Joriah seems like a solid character, you play him a lot and it shows. I haven't had the ability to RP with him much yet (Because everytime I try i'm murdered by cultists, I S2G!) but i'll get there.

I wouldn't be able to vouch for you on experience, but the application is good, and you didn't go off on me for -1ing you, so i'm going to hope you'll be careful not to do stuff like those bombing incidents, if you get antag as RD, and stay as calm as you did with that last reply, if people call you out in OOC.

[Garnascus]

Application approved.
