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 think that roleplay is the acting out of a character in order to experience connections, relationships, or conflicts through them that otherwise you would not experience. I think that roleplay should be about making a great experience for everyone involved and providing a feeling of satisfaction or even elation to players.

What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The purpose of a Head of Staff is to provide direction and be a role model for how other people should act and roleplay. The head of staff should connect with each member of their department in a way that will help improve their time and in a way that will also help them feel involved in events in the round as best they can.

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 be an exemplar for other people on the server. They should maintain the values and ideals of the community and rules. They should be helpful and always make the situation they are in better. I will uphold the rules and roleplay every situation to the best of my ability in order to help people enjoy the current situation.

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

Character name: Alice Knapp

Character age: 33

Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): She lived in a megacity in the Pacific Union on Earth. Growing up, Alice didn’t stand out in a bad or good way. She wasn’t one to be confused about what her future had in store for her, because she decided at an early age that what she wanted to do was work in Security or the Armed Forces. She left school after completing her Master’s degree in International Security. Alice then went off planet to train for and join the private Security field. Her parents were supportive of her career choice, if a little worried for her.

Her deployments in the private sector were not exciting or even very dangerous. The only threats were accidents or the very occasional skirmish with arsonists/radicals. Alice didn’t make many friends in the private Security field, and eventually left without complications. 7 years into her career, on one deployment her position was attacked by enemies of her employer. During the fighting, Alice’s right arm was hurt badly. Her colleagues fended off the attackers, and got her medical attention fast enough to save her life. However, her arm had to be removed. While waiting for a prosthetic limb, she showed signs of psychological damage and was made to see a therapist. After the prosthetic limb was attached, Nano Trasen looked into hiring her in a Security Officer role. She failed their first psychological evaluation, and was given more time to recover before retaking it. She passed the second time and was accepted as an employee.

What do you like about this character?: This is my second, however my main character. I really like playing her because of the way she tries to be professional but friendly. I enjoy the situations that being a Security Officer can put you in and how they help me develop how my character acts.

What do you dislike about this character?: When actually questioned on my background, I’ve found it hard to make answers. I do think this’ll be fixed by me writing it out as I have.

What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: Every time I’m on, I try to form connections with other Officers and station staff. I think that this will really help and make my character a more enjoyable Head of Security.

Please provide well-articulated answers to the following questions.

How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I would rate it about a 7/10. Where it is high is probably general roleplaying with colleagues and minor conflict situations. Where it probably dips is traumatic experiences. In those scenarios, I feel I could do better. For example, reacting to being told I was cloned.

Extra notes: N/A

[Faris]

I've seen Alice Knapp mostly, the person in question here, while it wasn't a sizable amount of times, they were still good and fun times, so it's a +1 from me.

Edit: I've played quite a few more rounds and recall other characters, I simply wish to reaffirm my +1.

[Superballs]

Sorry I took your spotlight, fam.

Alice Knapp is a cool cat to play with. Good communication and I see her with potential to be a good Head of Security.

Pretty sure she can do a much better job than Ash at being Head of Security

+1

[Catnip]

Knapp is one of my favourite Officers to work with, I've recommended they go for HoS, definitely a +1 from me.

Oh also, PACIFIC PRIDE BEST UNION

[hivefleetchicken]

ShameOnTurtles carries sec a lot as officer. Alice Knapp could do with the promotion. They don't freak out easily and I've never seen someone mad at them.

[Ornias]

I love him and care for him. Alice Knapp is the difference between shitcurity and the stations saving grace. She's basically a HoS in all but the title. +1

[Garnascus]

Application approved.

 

 

Glory to Aurora.
