thesu353 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 BYOND key: thesu353 Character names: - Kenji Jo - Mark sulien - Antony sulien - Piper Eccles How long have you been playing on Aurora?: I used to play quite frequently over a few months a year ago, recently it's been over a couple of weeks of playtime. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I think I can summarise this with two reasons; firstly, to assist newcomers to both med bay and to the server as a whole to role play to their best in a medical environment by having some good quality role play with as many people as possible. Secondly this feels like the next stage of progression with my character Kenji and I feel I can develop him and his interactions with the other crew further as a CMO. Why did you come to Aurora?: When my old server shut down a year or so back, I came to Aurora as it held the monopoly at that time on Heavy RP. Little did I know that I would actually enjoy it more and would come to make some good friends on here. Exams and my personal life eventually took the driving seat and I had to leave for just under a year and so I'm back again for some fun RP. Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: Indeed, I have 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 about bringing your own creative flair inside an existing universe's lore and story. Interacting with other people in this world in a way which allows you both to have enjoyment, for instance sometimes putting yourself at a disadvantage because it would be more realistic and fun for both parties. Playing a character with both flaws and good points in such a way that everyone's interested and everyone can get involved equally. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: In my opinion a head of staff is a standard setter to new players in their department and on the station as a whole for how to roleplay and participate in the community. They may fix mistakes caused by misinformation in their department, and help to educate people on how the department should run (Standard operating procedure etc.) Yet, they shouldn't be bossy. A head of staff should be like a roleplaying engine, keeping the roleplay running in a department when there might not be anything to do, handing out assignments in research or assigning training drills or patrols in security. They help to keep the roleplay running and everyone having fun. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: As were approved by members of staff, I feel like we should be standard setters for the new players on the server, we should be able to help out new people who approach us and be positive members of the community, giving visitors to Aurora a good image of the player base. I would also say it is more important for whitelisted players to acknowledge and hold up the rules as I said earlier that they are a representation of the player base. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Kenji Jo Character age: 35 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Kenji Jo was born on Mars right into a family of 3. His father a rather grey and traditional man, worked at Idris Incorporated, on site as an IT security consultant. It kept the family alive, though long hours and a hounding boss caused the man to become bitter and resentful of life. His mother, in contrast was a housewife. Apparently when they were a young couple Kenji's father had told her she would never have to work again and whilst this seemed like a dream to her at first became a living hell with 3 children and debt clawing at their door. Dealing with stress was not in Kenji's parents skill set and the two would constantly barrage each other with insult and sly comment, when they weren't shouting at the children that was. Kenji kept his head down, with dreams of one day leaving mars for a life of a much better quality. When Kenji was 14 two events of note happened, firstly his eldest brother left to join the Sol Alliance Army, never to be heard of again, and his parents finally split, after apparent adultery on his mother's part. Kenji and his remaining brother were stuck with their bitter father and had to learn to become independent when he was stuck at work. Kenji funded his way through college through various illegal activities, including salvaging cyborg parts out in the deserts, to shady drug deals with the assistance of his brother in their home dome. After completing his bachelors in medicine his father took ill and shortly died, the funeral turnout was poor and Kenji and his brother shed not a single tear. Kenji began to work at a local clinic, whilst his brother continued their illegal activities, Kenji's brother getting sucked deeper and deeper into Mars' underworld. One day however, the police came knocking at his door accusing Kenji of being a part of some organisation he had never heard of. Kenji lacked the funds to bribe the officers in his home and was nearly arrested when his brother stopped them, offering to be taken instead. Like a coward Kenji of course didn't do anything to save his brother and instead spooked by the police applied to work aboard the NSS Aurora as a medical doctor. To Kenji's delight he received a reply to his offer and was soon enrolled on board the ship, with the express intention that one day he would get his brother out of jail and off of mars, once he raised the funds to grease the right palms. What do you like about this character?: He's got a lot of potential for development imo, also he feels very natural to roleplay. He also reminds me of Mark from Peep show in that he's quite a witty yet dull man. What do you dislike about this character?: He's an utter coward, in one of my shifts when the cult took over, he took to hiding in a cupboard with the shutters down. Whilst this can make for some funny situations, half the time I have to choose my character's realism over most forms of danger. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: First of all, it is important to say that Kenji is only meant for playing CMO. In my experience, most Head of Staffs feel very authoritative or quite cold, Kenji is also one of the workers and as such would be a great team leader as I feel many people would click with him, as long as results are shown he's pretty linient. Because of his background he has empathy for those struggling and I feel that no matter the character he could give out some quality roleplay interactions . He's a hard worker and good at taking command, furthermore mechanically he knows how to perform every role within the medbay to an acceptable standard, yet would if given staff members delegate it down to them and give advice and training where needed. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I've been doing it for a few years on and off so I reckon I know a thing or two, but like everyone I'm not perfect. I'd probably give myself an 8 out of 10 as I still have some things to learn. Extra notes: Link to comment
DatBerry Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 i have yet to have any negative interaction with kenji, he's actually one of the few good lesbay doctors left lately, but i think it might be a bit too early to have him jump to CMO, he hasn't been working here that long, and from the backstory he only had employment history in a clinic. while i +1 your app, i'd prefer you dont skyrocket kenji into CMO.

sonicgotnuked Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I interacted with Kenji once or twice and I am pleased with them not being a chemist addicted to meth. I also think they will be a good CMO. +1 Link to comment
