How long have you been playing on Aurora?: A few days.

Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I feel I am competent enough to perform well in a head of staff role, and desire to experience this part of the game on this server.

Why did you come to Aurora?: The systems really appealed to me, as well as the RP atmosphere. Coming from Goon and Paradise, it's a big break from the chaotic greytide.

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 is immersing yourself in a character, to the point where you are thinking as the character. Something like improve acting. I think of roleplay as just a more serious way to immerse yourself, to really create the experience of being that 2d spessman. It's a feat, but it's a large part of immersion for those who are weary of the greytide, the random toolboxing, the incompetent crewmembers. It's a framework that makes the game all that much more enjoyable. It should be about having fun, and about playing your role because you enjoy it.

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

To provide guidance and oversight. similarly to a manager or in some cases even a teacher. They're the ones accountable for their department, as they're also the perceived experts OF their department. It's someone looked up to, both ICly and OOCly, for enlightenment on the game, how to do things, and how to be a good medic/engineer/officer/etc.

Ultimately, they're also the sociable ones, the ones that probably should represent the 'face' of the game, in a way. They're the ones who jump in to help, the ones who are entrusted to take the role with care and keep the station running smooth.

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

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

Character name: Harriet Ablian

Character age: 33

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

Harriet was born in a now-destroyed station's medical ward at 03:27am. The station was simply called 'The Trident'. It specialized in many aqua and slime related research and endeavors. Naturally, as she grew up, she drifted toward the science and the medicine behind it. As she grew, she learned more about the space around her, and about NanoTrasen. She didn't think much of it for awhile. She completed some basic science and engineering education, and chartered a spot on a shuttle heading for a system recruitment center. At the SRC, she applied to many corporations in the Tau Ceti system, eventually being employed by Einstein as an Engineer, with full free education.

However, she proved to not fit well at the company, as due to disagreements she ended up in about 75,000 credits in debt due to refusing to train an engineering intern, who caused a breach while trying to wire a solar, by being flung through a window because of an atmospheric rush when he didn't handle the airlock correctly. She was eventually found by NanoTrasen. They had learned of her debt, and said they would be willing to pay it off for her in exchange for a ten-year employment contract. She reluctantly accepted, and was flown to CentComm, where she was tested, given authorizations, and shipped off to a station. They gave her significantly better benefits, meaning for now she is wholly willing to do her job to her fullest.

What do you like about this character?: I like that she speaks her mind when it comes to her. She doesn't hesitate to throw shade, or tell someone off if she feels the need.

What do you dislike about this character?: She's so sporadic, she doesn't always think things through to the highest degree.

What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: She's able to think through things to some degree, and because she isn't hesitate or take others' feelings into consideration as much, she's incredibly efficient. Some call her a sociopath, that's not quite true, she's just quite eccentric.

Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions.

How would you rate your own roleplaying?: A good 8/10. I've been into serious roleplay for the last couple years, and it's definitely something that's always beckoned to me.

Extra notes: None, really.

I have never seen you before so I only have this application to go off, and the backstory seems a bit nonsensical.

I have never heard of any Orange Rush, certainly not in our own lore.

Releasing a singularity is a disastrous event, and 7 million is a very large amount, I simply do not see why Nanotrasen would pay 7 million credits for an employee that has already royally fucked up once, especially as a head of staff when the fuck up in question is due to poor management.

Pre-edit:Apparently the Orange Rush is some bit of Paradise's lore.

I would advise reading our own lore, rejiggering the backstory to not be on such a large scale (Huge sum of money, disastrous event, etc.)

this is what happens when I reuse things.

Fixed it a bit, might add more when I get home.

bump tbh

I use a few different characters, notably Lolly Vause, as well. So if you've seen her, that's me.
