503ace Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 BYOND key: 503ace Character names: Alexis Fabregas, Robert Fabregas How long have you been playing on Aurora?: About a week, however I have played SS13 for about 3 years on and off Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: So I can start to work with department head roles Why did you come to Aurora?: I gravitate towards heavy roleplay, and so far have thoroughly enjoyed my experiences on this server. Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Yes, many times. I do find the guide to shitcurrity pretty entertaining to read through sometimes. 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: To me, roleplaying is to create somebody. A fictional living breathing person, with a history and personality and being able to live through that person. It gives somebody, the player, an opportunity to become something they otherwise might not be able to experience in real life. As such, I enjoy being able to use my own personality, and experiment with others I wish to see through the characters I play as. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: Heads of staff, I feel, are a sort of first line moderator to the RP environment. They have the ability to control the department to an extent, and have the authoroty to demote/remove people who might disturbe that enviornment. This power is limited by the members of that staff and their supervisors, as it does truly require the willing cooperation of the heads subordinates to maintain that respect. It is also the head of staffs responsibility to clarify ingame rules when disputes come up, and to, in character, handle situations that may not be otherwise covered in space law or the set roleplay rules. Lastly, the head of staff should also be used to further roleplay experiences, such as promoting people and giving guidance. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Whitelisted players are inherently trusted by the administration, and as such, should provide an example to new/unwhitelisted players to aspire to. These people should follow RP rules and stay up to date on the lore that pertained to them in order for them to give guidance to their peers. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Robert Fabregas Character age: 27 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): So, I based Robert on myself and what I aspire to be. Robert was born in Sol, and had dropped out of normal schooling to work to help his family through financial hardships. Later, when that was under control, Robert continued to finish his basic education, and later became a security guard. He had been in security until he was 21 years of age and could apply to station security. From there, he worked as a diligent security officer until he was promoted to detective. (IRL my dad is a detective, so I find it a very enjoyable job ) Due to this position, he is very educated about the application of space law, and has used discretion to fix problems, rather than just brig anybody who commits a crime. Robert maintains a very level head in extreme circumstances, and lately has been earning the respect of his peers by acting as a natural leader to the rest of the security department. He has had the experience of talking to other heads of staff to resolve issues, and has had to deal with internal struggles within the security department. Based on his actions, a couple of other crew members have recommended him for the role of head of security. What do you like about this character?: It's basically my personality and education pulled into one character. I've enjoyed my time playing as him and working in a field that I plan on being in IRL What do you dislike about this character?: Some aspects of my personality are lenient, so I tend to give people more breaks when they shouldn't have them. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: A level head and an understanding of space law coupled with the ability to get people to work with him make him a great fit for the position. My character enjoys talking to people and is more than willing to help. As a detective, my character very frequently is out in the hallways backing up fellow officers and patrolling when the shift is slow. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I'd say out of 100, I would give myself about 80 to 85. The reason being is because when OOC picks up with IC chatter, it can get difficult to follow along. Extra notes: Currently, i'm in an administration of justice class (In the United States) and I come from a family of law enforcement. I'm familiar with IRL law and policing, and I tend to bring that ingame with me. If it matters, I plan on being a cop sometime soon. Link to comment

Synnono Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Head of Staff App is for all Head of Staff, not just for HoS, RD, CE, one at a time. People still ask that you put down which position you're applying for. It's all good! Will edit this with actual feedback later today Edited, a bit later than I said I would: Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Yes, many times. Did you? Your character doesn't meet the requirements on our version of it. If you already understood that, what makes Robert an exception to the rules? What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: Heads of staff, I feel, are a sort of first line moderator to the RP environment. I can dig it. There's more to this and rounds/circumstances can change the reality of it, but I generally agree. Robert was born in Sol, and had dropped out of normal schooling to work to help his family through financial hardships. Later, when that was under control, Robert continued to finish his basic education, and later became a security guard. He had been in security until he was 21 years of age and could apply to station security. From there, he worked as a diligent security officer until he was promoted to detective. Due to this position, he is very educated about the application of space law, and has used discretion to fix problems, rather than just brig anybody who commits a crime. How did Robert convince NT (I assume NT is his employer here) to hire him without even basic schooling? Keep in mind most forensics and investigative work requires an undergraduate or many years of experience as a technician elsewhere. As written, Robert is barely qualified to be a detective, let alone a Head of Staff. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I'd say out of 100, I would give myself about 80 to 85. The reason being is because when OOC picks up with IC chatter, it can get difficult to follow along. I don't understand what's being said here. Are you saying the quality of your RP dips when OOC is spammy? You'd otherwise be perfect? Edited December 11, 2016 by Guest Link to comment

Blingx3 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 EHM. Hello. well, the story is a little eh.. the age is just.. he's too young to be a HoS, or even a detective, the guy has no experince, and not even a detailed back story either than he's good at his job, you didn't explain why he got choosen for the job, there's no lore, not even a hint of lore anywhere. my advice is expand on that a little don't be afraid to meddle into details, it doesn't need to be complex, just belivable and well written. Another thing is how you rated yourself as a roleplayer, honestly the reason doesn't even make sense to me.. a small thing is I've played HoS, and on this server the HoS job is very stressful and demanding, more than you imagine, and being lenient in my opinion is not a good trait to have for a person in that position, I can't even imagin someone would get promoted this fast if he was lenient.

503ace Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Sorry if i'm a little late to the party here, this week is finals week and i've been stressing about that. Head of Staff App is for all Head of Staff, not just for HoS, RD, CE, one at a time. People still ask that you put down which position you're applying for. It's all good!

Your character doesn't meet the requirements on our version of it. If you already understood that, what makes Robert an exception to the rules? Any chance I could just change my backstory a bit to fit in with the requirements? What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: Heads of staff, I feel, are a sort of first line moderator to the RP environment. I can dig it. There's more to this and rounds/circumstances can change the reality of it, but I generally agree.

Keep in mind most forensics and investigative work requires an undergraduate or many years of experience as a technician elsewhere. As written, Robert is barely qualified to be a detective, let alone a Head of Staff. Well, he did finish his basic schooling, though it took longer than most (Again, basing this character on some of my RL experiences) And I was going off current and modern policing standards, which only requires 4 years of patrol work to qualify for special assignment/investigations/training. Again though, I can change the story around to fit whatevers needed. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I'd say out of 100, I would give myself about 80 to 85. The reason being is because when OOC picks up with IC chatter, it can get difficult to follow along. I don't understand what's being said here. Are you saying the quality of your RP dips when OOC is spammy? You'd otherwise be perfect? When a lot is going on and the box starts looking like a freaking rainbow, it can be a little hard to follow along, and as such can lead to some misconception that occurs when a lot is going on IC. So I suppose you're right in that regard. Link to comment
