Cirukcaller Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 BYOND key: Cirukcaller Character names: Jarod Dvorsky, Garret Adler. How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Well, I've been on and off for almost three years now- my life has been very demanding thorough these many years, plenty of hardships and difficult situations I've had to both cope and deal with. I've reach some sort of balance in between, I've attained more personal freedom and I'm willing to re-integrate myself back into the server on full throttle, should time allow. I've tried to show up in the past few weeks I've shown a modicum of activity as Jarod more-so than Garret, as the latter is still a prototype I'm trying to learn how to tackle. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: Well, truth is, seeing that 'banned' on my occupation list feels a bit limiting. I'm a person of whims and sudden cravings when it comes to settings and RP, and being wholeheartedly honest when I say this, there's been times where I just want to cobble together a persona and take a hold of a command role, where I'd perceive them sensibly capable in. Why did you come to Aurora?: Because I want to RP. I've been wanting to RP the moment I put my two feet in SS13, and by looking at my byond profile page, you can see that was a long time ago. I've been just about on any RP medium you can think of- from WoW as a platform, to Neverwinter nights, to D&D with friends both in real life and through the internet, as well as, of course, SS13. I've always sought stories and conclusions as my solemn method of joy, rather than the game's mechanics, and I want to surround myself with likeminded people. Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: Yeah! 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: I've been RPing since I was a wee lad. Very young, in fact- it was an exit for me, from many things, and I tended to self-insert and debase what I've come to learn was the essence of RP truly is. RP is about a story, the conscious roleplayer doesn't look at his character, and how the story affects them, but how the story is affected by the character. Understand that the environment itself is a play, and they're but a chord in it waiting to be strung, in essence. I enjoy RP when others enjoy it themselves- I enjoy feeling immersed, and I think RP should be about that; it should be about immersion, respecting the setting you're involved in, and giving to others the same respect and expectations from the in-game perspective you'd expect be given to you. Granted, this never seems to be the case, as some people have different ways to go about it, and opinions often clash. Truthfully, I like to think I get along with everyone just fine in this sense. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: Well, they're the stirring wheel above a long pyramid of steps forward. Namely a naturally busy role, that demands inverted knowledge of the runnings and happenings of the station without tripping in their self-understanding. Still, I view them as worthy of flaws as any other individual, knowingly and canonically much more professionally prepared, however. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Well, I like to think this question is fairly simple. As being in a pseudo-privileged position, where one is put in an exemplary angle towards the eyes of all peers staring from above, it is my sole duty to give them a good idea of what they should strive to become, much more lax; much more willing and appealed to the prospect of being engaged in RP. I think I owe them fun beside my RP, not to betray their trust by failing them as a player through inane and grumpy issues that would OOCly threaten to break their IC immersion, and prove to them without fault that they're with someone who appreciates their cooperation to the story; the RP. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Sven Gallow. Character age: Thirty-six. Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Sven was born in a depths of a suburban area within Earth itself; within Chicago Metropolitan area, in an underbelly of waste and wretched exiles who had no face to show to humanity. He, however, was just a baby- he wasn't an exile, he was but the son of a mother anchored to narcotics and a cunning dealer who abused her in ways more than emotional to achieve his pay, and her the much necessary fix. He was found cradled by his mother's clutch, under a spray of glass shards and progenital blood when she tried to break into an apartment's house belonging to no other than an IAA agent working for Nanotrasen, finding her death upon a failed step and her neck's meeting on a glass-sharded window frame. Alone, without next of kin, both Sven and the IAA agent you'll come to know as Fred, the latter coming to the easy conclusion that, perhaps as if fate itself, it was his duty to care for the baby. It wasn't hard to adopt a child without a soul that cared for him, and the company surely reinstated possibilities for 'Fred' to take a hold of the child. Sadly, his purpose wasn't as noble as the brief caretakers of the Chicago's notorious "Children with a future" foster home came to know. He raised him under a strict code of ethics; under an individual and centered life about propaganda towards Nanotrasen, its assets- its speeches that he himself gave to those who worked under the corporation he channeled into the boy even while shoveling cereal in his mouth. He built out of his son a string of loyalty and borderline cherishment towards the company, coming to believe even as he grew; as he came to reach adulthood, that he owed not just his father and high style of life to the company, but his existence as a whole. In a way, he wasn't wrong. Sven, however, was never a man of violence. His father had pushed him forward into several topics leading - from young adulthood - towards the security section and assets safekeeping of the company, but he himself always leaned more fruitfully towards the department of medicine, and humanitarian practices. No less, a son of Fred Gallow himself, he was afforded noteworthy education planetside under the care of specialized teachers who put all their time and effort - under the promise of credits - in making out of Sven a worthy legacy for Fred to notch down on his dead plaque when age takes him. He serves Nanotrasen fully, and has a loving fervor for what the megacorporation represents- both in present, and the future. What do you like about this character?: I've never quite tackled characters with straightforward purpose. I enjoy leaving them feeble of wants and minds, as to have a much more broad range of possibilities when it comes to portraying them and playing them, but not with Sven- Sven is a certain and forward individual with an ideology I can't trip much on. He sees his duty to Nanotrasen to both coordinate and push forward the Medical section at its fullest as not just his job, but a debt to pay, and that I can appreciate. He's willing, with much more will than I could ever claim to have, and has a narrow-minded goal in mind. What do you dislike about this character?: Exceedingly bland. Like I've explained, when you wall a concept under the historical aesthetics presented to Sven there's not much you can do when it comes to running off-course. Short of being a traitor in a round, he'd forever live by the regulations of Nanotrasen and the promise of living its order and meeting the demands set towards its assets, which essentially plains him a pretty clear picture, not too keen on inventive changes. He's also a medicine man, which I certainly hold no noteworthy experience with. For those who know me on the server, this is a new concept- for those who know me better, I only truly ever delve in hydroponics and security. No less, it is in the good nature of all players to step out of comfort zones, and not grow too attached to certain things in fear of creating an OOC-based self-insert. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: Outside of his philosophical and fanatic love for Nanotrasen, he's truly given to the art and career of medicine. He's devote to the aiding of wounded people, and practices the triage with a willpower to feel jealousy for. A naturally intelligent individual, Sven brings answers to conclusions and action to inaction. He's charismatic and willful about his beliefs, and has had the chance to work with other practicioners of medicine enough to show the necessary skills in leading a team. Of course, I can most certainly branch out to different forms of head of staff on different personas, but I'm specifying for Sven on this instance. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I've always thought rating other people's RP, much more mine, was an extremely shallow thing to do. Its a way to express your imagination- a form of art in itself, and to judge and criticize others who practice it is a logic as sound as flying fish. I like to think people enjoy RPing around me- I like to think such because its perhaps one of the few things that does anchor me to continue RPing, other people's joy tied to mine. Extra notes: Well, nothing more than to add that I've already applied before, and received thankfully positive support. I'm a fairly negative person, and I feel like I may've deteriorated in terms of vocabulary and grammar when it comes to tackling the character itself, but I'm still the same person- I still want to perhaps reach where I was, or perhaps I'm just the same. I don't know- I don't think there's any worth in questioning these things, I just know I still have the same want. Anyway, thanks for reading. https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=4707&p=46965#p46965 Link to comment
