TamedAchilles Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 BYOND key: TamedAchilles Character names: Daniel Fredrickson, Aiken Langley, Jameson Zalackie, How long have you been playing on Aurora?: 5 monthsish (give or take a week). Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I wish to be whitelisted because I enjoy roleplaying around Aurora as a Medical Surgeon. How ever, that's not where a lot of my experience comes from. I have a lot of experience roleplaying as the Head of Personnel, and have experience roleplaying the other Head roles. I believe that with these previous experiences, and my willingness/wanting to expand my horizon's further are the reason I should be whitelisted. Why did you come to Aurora?: I came to Aurora looking for a Heavy RP element that's lacking from a lot of other communities. After traveling around, I came on here and have stayed simply because it's an RP'ers paradise and the Staff go to great lengths to ensure that it's possible. Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: I have, and still continue to brush myself up on BS12's wiki as to keep myself up to date. 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 to me is a story acted out based around the lore element of which the story originates from. In this case, every round we're roleplaying a different element of Space Station 13 as a Crew Member, Unconciously altering the lore as we play our individual characters out with each other. In this case, it should be about not only the character development of each player's through the perspective of the other people they meet, but also the continuation of the story that's set out by people whom have written tidbits of the lore. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The OOC purpose of the Head of Staff practically is (depending on their role) to facilitate effective operations of their assigned departments, and to coordinate the players assigned to each one, Ultimately with the Captain being the largest facilitator on the Station. Through this cooperated facilitation, it's how the players form and adapt to the antagonist or even simply surviving on the Station. With out this facilitation, that's when you see a break down in the basis forms of stability which results to many of the issues we usually see (violence, disease, hunger, uprisings, ect) occurring like wildfire. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Personally, players who are whitelisted have shown a higher level of responsibility and maturity than a lot of other players. Through these means, they're trusted with running and facilitating departments or even the entirety of the station each round. It's within these two means that these players should also be responsible with upholding the rules to a certain degree while playing. Ways to uphold these would be instructing others on how to operate around the server (specifically new Aurorian's), refreshing the rules in their mind and apply it to their RP, and to treat others fairly and respectfully while around the Server. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Daniel Fredrickson Character age: 30 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Daniel Fredrickson is a 30 year old male who was born on Earth within the Sol System. Originally, his Family were agriculturalists whom took pride in their hydroponic farms on Luna, but that didn't appeal to Daniel. At the age of 18 after he graduated from High School, he would attend the Tau Ceti Institute for Applies Sciences, majoring in their Medical Programe. While Daniel was away from the Sol System, he would attempt to make means to communicate with his family when he could, but in retrospect was glad to be "out of the dirt" for say and studying something he was wanting to do for a long time. Three Years would pass and he would graduate from the Academy, but he wasn't satisfied with the knowledge he had obtained. A short time later, he would be accepted into the Institute for Universal Applied Medicine, studying Surgical Procedure and Practices. Another four years would pass, and Daniel would be the age of 25. It would be at this point where he was itching to explore the expanses of space. But this urge would be put on hold, as he received word that his Mother had fallen ill with a rare cancerous disease called "Disbuteris Alterisius", which started killing off her DNA-RNA strands at a micro-molecular level. After exhausting everything he had learned, his mother would pass away at the age of 75. His morale weakened, Daniel made a pledge that no one under his care would suffer or die carelessly while he was attending them. And so, he would submit an application to Nanotrasen and later be assigned to the NSS Imperion. 2 Years later and he would be transfered over to the NSC Vengence after showing talent as a Medical Physician. After spending time on the Vengence, he would retire from Nanotrasen and return home. It wouldn't be but another 3 years later at the age of 30 would he see postings about a new Station built and it needed individuals to fill a wide range of positions in order to have her fully operational. What do you like about this character?: Personally, I like this character because of his educational background. I also like this character due to the fact that despite losing family, he used that sad event to drastically alter his own, using it as a positive force of change for many people that he's interacted with. What do you dislike about this character?: Something I dislike about him is is that due to him losing Family, Daniel can be a bit remorseful when interacting with others. He can also be a bit crude, and brash in his attempts during his care. It's because of this, he can often get in trouble or even potentially hurt others if he's pushed far enough. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: Personally, I think Daniel would make a great Head of Staff. He's got a perfect combination of Good Traits and Bad Traits. It shows in a characteristic-kind of way that he's human, and that he's willing to go to large lengths to save or even protect his patients. Traits that every Head of Staff should only have going into each and every shift. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: Personally, on a scale rating up to 10 I would be at a 7. I've had enough time and experience to temper my style of Roleplay, how ever I'm still learning A LOT in terms of what my characters can do, and what others do while interacting with him. I'll never be at a 10, mainly because my roleplay or even my Character's Development won't ever be perfect. There will always be something that I want to improve upon or even change/alter. Extra notes: I just wanted to thank all of you for reading this. I know it might not seem like a lot, but I feel that I've taken a lot of thought into this Application. I feel that my creativity and general mindset while Roleplaying can add a new flavour to the pot in terms of when I'm playing, adding more suspense or even more maturity each shift. I ask that I be given a chance to perform, so that I can show everyone that I know what I'm doing. And that I can make a shift enjoyable for the players playing at the time. Link to comment
