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: I believe roleplay is when you can pretend to be someone or something else. It doesn't matter what it is or where it is, you can for a brief moment become a character and share that experience with your friends or strangers for enjoyment. You get to create something you could never be, such as Tajara and so on. It's becoming something else for your and others enjoyment.

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

OOC, they should look after their departments, make sure newbies are trained correctly and give out advice to those who need it. They should run their department efficiently and make sure no one is breaking rules and laws. A big purpose is to command the department and teach new ones in the form of cadets and such, passing on their knowledge to the newbies. They command their departments, fill out paperwork and co-operate with the other heads and captain to have a productive shift.

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Whitelisted players should uphold the rules and laws. It's their responsibility to make sure no one is messing up and that people are being taught correctly. They should be giving advice and passing on their knowledge of the game.

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

Character name: Assim Zhan-Ka'to'ro

Character age: 32

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

Assim is a thick furred and tall Zhan Tajara. His face is clearly worn from working hard all his life, but due to Human luxury he looks after himself.

Assim was a true workhorse of the race. Originating from the Zhan-Khazan ethnic group he stands at a mighty 6"5 and is built incredibly strong from years of hard labour. He is fairly young for all he has experienced, 32. His fur is thick and a deep single color of brown apart from around his face which seem to become lighter. His eyes shine a dark yellow with black flecks embedded into them. His claws are quite sharp yet shorter then normal ,probably ground off from all the work he has done throughout his life. He is always smiling and laughing, a very funny and good to be around Tajara. Assim has a great hate towards the nobility races. He has worked hard all of his life for these Tajara and been pushed further down into poverty.

When it comes to security he is incredibly level headed and likes to take a quiet approach to things. He doesn't escalate a situation unless it needs to be done and he try to defuse with words not guns. He's a natural leader as proven on Adhomai in the war, and he wishes to bring his skills to security. He would keep his officers in check and firm on punishments, but would tell them to patrol a area and let them get on with it, trying not to micromanage them. He trusts his officers but if you break that trust, he will come down hard and you will have to word hard to earn it back from him. Loyalty and respect is key and what he expects in a good officer.

After he fled the horrific events on Adhomai he came to work for NT, he started off as a security officer after training hard, studying and doing everything in his power. Since he has became a seasoned officer he's been working hard on updating his knowledge, skill set and studying to applying for a vacant head of security position. It's almost like a dream come true, he wants to take control of the department he loves and use the salary to get his family away from Adhomai.

What do you like about this character?: I love how he is clueless to some Human aspects and how he gets confused. He is always learning things.

What do you dislike about this character?: I dislike how aggressive I play him sometimes, generally towards people who are racist or debates on the civil war, he is really defensive on it all and very loud spoken.

What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: He is a likeable, strong leader and a very experiened character and would lead the security team well. He has experience from watching other heads and wants to step up to the plate.

How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I like to think I'm fairly good, but I'm always learning and improving myself.

Gah my previous reply might not have gone through. So basically. He is an excellent roleplayer that really gets into his characters. He makes sure to keep clear emotions throughout his RP even if it causes problems for others which I do really like. All in all I would say as a RP'er he would make an excellent Head.

+1 from me

[AWPen]

Thanks for the kind words!

Not sure if the database is just messing up, but it says you've been here since April 16th, so around four months now. As for the application itself, I feel like your backstory is kind of vague, it almost just feels like a short description of your tajaran, rather then a biography. I'm neutral for now.

[AWPen]

I did play around that time but only on and off. I started seriously within the last month ish and over.

What would you expect in a biography? I'll try improve it though.

When I first read your biography it made me feel like it was only a long description of your tajaran, not giving me his story of where he came from and how he got to start working for NanoTrasen, you updated it a little bit I see so that's alright, still doesn't mention anything at all about him coming to work for NanoTrasen.

[AWPen]

Updated once again, thanks for the advice and critique !

[AWPen]

Bumping this so its seen.
