How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Roughly a month or so.

Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: To help out the server in terms of roleplay and actually not be a idiotic head of staff like few people are also because I want to expand my abilities to RP like HoP or CE.

Why did you come to Aurora?: First server I saw from my hiatus from SS13 and the HRP thing intrigued me so here I am.

Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Yes, i've read them.

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 isn't really just about doing /me and actions, it's how you portray your character, what he or she (or it) does so it's rather difficult to say what roleplay should be because it is opinions really, I believe that roleplay is and should always be about how you play your character, how would they react in real life to situations, what would they do in a situation of life and death and so on.

Think of it like your child, you "make" it, you nuture it, you help it grow and you teach it things as it teaches you.

What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: To guide the players into making accurate RP decisions, to be the "voice" between admins and players IC wise with the whole CC faxing and so on, to make sure everyone has a fun time roleplaying and to make sure nobody fucks things up.

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: To be an example to other players. Proving that you are trusted enough to hold powerful IC positions. I'd strive by being an example, a leader if you will, by not trolling or "memeing", actually roleplaying and be a proper NT head of staff with procedures and so on since it is a research station afterall.

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

Character name: Triston Duncan

Character age: 24

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

Triston Duncan comes from a moderately wealthy family back on Terra where he studied quite hard for the line of work he usually ends up in which is Engineering and Chemistry. He has a distrust for synthetics as he believes they will eventually take over the galaxy enslaving or killing off all organics in the process. He used to work for several private companies like SpaceSoft and Galaxypple including several local ones in the country where he hails from, Sweden.

Triston has an affinity for computers as he spent quite a bit playing around with them in his spare time and currently owns five computers. He lives in a small but modern apartment near Biesel which acts as his work apartment as he originally lives in Sweden but comes this way for work. He does not like people normally and is a closed-in person but can at times or if he wants to, speak up. He is also an asshole to most people as he believes in the saying, "Treat people like they treat you". He has no real loyality to NanoTrasen and treats it like just another company to work with and his attitude reflects that, he works to make it profitable but if given the choice between being fired and helping NT, he would pick the former.

He used to date a beautiful man he loved very much who sadly passed away a year ago which he still recoils from. He is pansexual.

What do you like about this character?:

His ability to think and his looks. His experience and loyality to his friends, his knowledge.

What do you dislike about this character?:

His rather impulsive behaviour and his.. attitude. His shut in behaviour and his sadness stemming from the depression due to the suicide of his ex.

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

He's smart, he's not a idiot and does not have circles of friends he solely RPs with.

Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions.

How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I'd say pretty decent, I adapt to people roleplaying so if you meet Triston and you start roleplaying heavily, he responds in kind but he never goes below the "low" standards of roleplay, same with Oblivion.

Extra notes:

[valky_walky2]

24 seems young for a head of staff personally. But thats just me. Aside from that I've RP'ed a couple of times with Oblivion and love almost every encounter with him.

[Synnono]

It looks like you have a decent idea of what you'd expect to be doing as a Head, but Triston doesn't meet the employment/age requirements for any of the Head positions as defined on the wiki. Do you have another character in mind that would better fit, or is he meant to be an exception to the rules?

Yep. I plan to make a seperate char if I do get whitelisted with the proper requirements and so on

[Juani2400]

You should probably create a character and write the biography about that character you are applying with, and not one that does not meet the requirements. Feel free to edit the post to do that.

I rarely interact with you, so I can't really tell how bad or good of a RPer you are. In regards to the biography, I'd expand the character's background a bit more!

These are all tips which I think could help your application, so feel free to do them if you wish.

Application denied. Re-apply when you have a command staff appropriate character.
