How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Started around the same time my Spring Semester started ((5-6 months))

[Trial Moderator PM] SirCatnip: Your account is 363 days old here.

Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I've played most departments so far as can be summarized from my character names and feel like I'd like to maybe go a tier up, learn more and take on more responsibilities that way. And hopefully, I won't disappoint.

Why did you come to Aurora?: I mostly drifted between servers, some that I recall are Hippie, Bay, Goon and probebly others I don't remember over the years. While I enjoyed the other servers, Aurora is the only that has me playing the SS13 past a week.

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 as inferred from the name is when you act into a role, be it realistic or not. I can roleplay characters in SS13 or other games with backgrounds and flavour I've thought of myself and act on it. I place myself into another characters self and "act", simply by playing with it.

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

A head of staff is considered to be a representative of their department, a person with standards befitting the position. Someone that a person should be looking up to in a good way, since people would be trying to emulate him when working, so the attitude and procedures of said head matters.Furthermore, they have a responsibility over the well being of the crew members in the department and to ensure the department is working efficiently by managing it. And the last thing is that they are also expected to work well with with other departmental heads.

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?:

They are considered to be the standard of a head, regardless of position. So it's important they give a good image as to what it means to be a white listed player. This can be upheld by adhering to protocols, procedures, having the right mindset and attitude to the tasks at hand.

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

Character name: Needle

Character age: 20

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

An Integrated Positronic Chassis Line Model "Needle", with the purpose of performing medical procedures on Nanotrasen employees on their installations. Needle one of the first few of it's line, initially meant for field testing, in order to properly evaluate it and determine if the cost and benefit allow it to be viable in use as an Integrated Positronic Chassis with the sole purpose of medical treatment on stations and ships belonging to Nanotrasen. It's original posting was on NSS Canes Venatici, a medical station in Tau Ceti, on a planned five year evaluation, which resulted in the project being put on hold. The reason for this is that while Needle and the other line models were successful in their job, the long term cost for maintaining and managing such models proved to be too much, especially with the hazards that an IPC is susceptible to. So instead of mass producing these line models, the current ones were left to continue their assignment on board stations and ships.

After the initial five year evaluation, Needle was kept on board NSS Canes Venatici to continue it's assignment where it remained there for another five years, resulting in a ten year assignment on board the station. Upon the tenth year, Model "Needle" was modified to include certain behavior augmentations that would be pleasing to patient he treats, to close the divide between organics and synthetics. After the augmentation, during year 2450, Needle was transferred to NSS Exodus where he has worked alongside other medical personal such as RUR, Curel Wald, Astor Shanor, Albert Grizo and Skylarr Ward

What do you like about this character?: He's generally very straightforward and goes through as much procedures as he can, instead of just dumping people in a body scanner.

What do you dislike about this character?: His programming and tasks limit how much socializing he can do.

What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: I think that Needle is a very strong adherent of procedures, a team player and I've also played quite a few rounds in medical with different character that while I don't know everything, I know a good portion of the mechanics.

Needle is a great IPC doctor, and I've had quite a few good radios. Their a great RPer too, +1

[The Stryker]

They actually treat people well, so in terms of being able to be an example for the department. I haven't seen them interim (but they show enough knowledge to lead) so I'm leaning towards a

+1.

[Ricky_the_banshee]

Look at that! Another Heads of staff whitelist! Time to review this shit!

GRUMPY and Needle are two of my favorite synthetics onboard the station. Not to mention GRUMPY has made a reputation (a positive one if IIRC) onboard the station for appearing frequently. As for Needle, they're one of the best doctors I've worked with in Medbay. THey do regular examinations, uphold Medbay protocol, definitely a doctor to look up to.

Your answers about Roleplay are at the right spot. Good!

For an IPC background, it is not as snowflakey as I expected. But it's still well-written, I'd say. I like how some doctors are referenced in your backstory as well. Other than that, I see no inconsistencies or anything that would bring up question marks.

What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: I think that Needle is a very strong adherent of procedures, a team player and I've also played quite a few rounds in medical with different character that while I don't know everything, I know a good portion of the mechanics.

I can confirm most of this. Needle is one of the few doctors who doesn't pull patients around, force them into scanners without asking and immediatly sends them off wihtout fruther examination/questioning. I believe he could definitely uphold protocol in Medbay.

Ever since Synth right movements are slowly becoming a thing again, I feel like having one IPC added to the Heads of Staff roster would bring for some intriguing Roleplay elements. Needle is definitely the one IPC I'd want to find in Medbay. So here is my +1 and my best wishes.

[Pyrociraptor]

While I know him more as GRUMPY or Needle, he's a great IPC character player, and would make a great Head of staff.

[ShameOnTurtles]

I've played before with Needle and a couple of his other characters. Great roleplaying, and creates unique and interesting character personalities. +1

[Superballs]

I had the pleasure to play with Raymond Hawkins alot. Very enjoyable RP experience with this person. About 10/10. Also hilarious how he triggers Ash by bringing up Madelyn Compton.

Wouldn't mind seeing Needle as a CMO, perhaps even Hawkins as a Head of Security?

+1

[Shadow]

Raymond is great to shout at with my megaphone. 10/10. Would do again.

+1

[Serveris]

Needle is an extremely competent medical doctor from my experience. They know their shit. Haven't seen a truly good CMO in a while. Endorsing command whitelist.

+1.

[Garnascus]

Application approved.

 

 

Glory to Aurora.
