The lancer Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) BYOND key: The lancer Character names: Dayton Perkins, Rayner Krupt, Tom Jackson, Hugh Evans How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Since 2015 Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: To unlock command roles that I have always been interested in Why did you come to Aurora?: I was told of its existence, came, and liked the heavy roleplay. Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications 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: Roleplaying is an activity in which the involved create characters and behave as the characters would. Proper roleplay requires that you part from what you would do in a certain scenario, in favour of acting as your character, based on his backstory, beliefs and characteristics you have given him. The player's emotions or "bad day" should be kept at bay as much as possible, so as not to spoil and damage the roleplay. Above all, roleplaying should be fun and recreational for everyone involved. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The Heads of Staff should be a group of people experienced in the game and their department, offering assistance for anyone needed. New players for example, can and should be helped by the Heads, who act as a guide both IC and OOC. All in all, the Heads of Staff should pass on their knowledge, act as guides and assist wherever possible. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: OOCly, Whitelisted players are to become beacons of good conduct and healthy RP. The responsibilities that they have are to roleplay properly, to project an image of good conduct, have a good knowledge of the server rules and inspire others to follow such standards and even encourage them to make themselves a whitelist application. Naturally, I will strive to uphold the above by showing good character and doing my best in general, as I believe this keeps the fine quality the server has. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. I wish to create a new character solely for being head of security. Character name: Stavros Nannos Character age: 54 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Stavros was born in Athens, Earth in a lesser income family of the medium classes. His family included his parents and two sisters, Anna and Irene. Two things fascinated him since he was a young boy: space and soldiers. Years passed and Stavros attended his state provided education, not as enthusiastic at school as he was back home, playing with his toy soldiers. In the end, he passed his exams with surprisingly high grades, compared to his efforts. His parents tried to persuade him to enter law school, and become a lawyer to bring in a guaranteed income, but Stavros wanted something else, and driven by his dreams, he persuaded his father to send him abroad, to the New Seoul Combat Training Center, where he entered after completing his military term in the Alliance. Steven spent the next 7 years in the academy, learning obedience, discipline, combat and weapon usage. He presented himself as a foreigner with dreams of going to space one day, and this led to a friend of his mentioning finding work aboard a vessel of Nanotrasen, a company he has constantly been hearing of since his travelling abroad. As he had nowhere better to look at, Stavros decided to give that corporation a go. During the final year in the academy though, he was facing an eyesight problem, which was getting worse and worse every week to the point where he was forced to deal with it. With medication and medical assistance, he managed to slip out without needing glasses. Upon passing his final exams and earning a Bachelor's degree, he joined Nanotrasen as a security officer, and stayed with them for 30 years, during which he made a family and had a daughter. His most recent problem he faced was his eyesight issue that developed into a disease, which he addressed immediately and after a surgery and 2 months of recovery, managed to get through with prescription glasses. What do you like about this character?: He is a dreamer, and despite his health problems continues to persist. What do you dislike about this character?: His age and eyesight will not allow him to be as energetic. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: His experience, wisdom and many years with Nanotrasen that have earned him this position. His eye problems will not stand in the way of doing his job. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: 7/10 since I believe I am good with interacting with others, but I have not mastered it yet. Extra notes: I usually play when the server has ~20 players. I don't know if that's the deadhour, but I believe I am not well known to the greater community. This may very well affect feedback. I also do not know if I should strictly promote one of my existing characters, but I hope that's not the case, since really want to play this character. Edited May 6, 2017 by Guest Link to comment
Superiorform Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Whilst I haven't ever played with you that I can remember, all your answers his the nail on my head in my opinion, and the backstory looks quite interesting, I think you could really develop it whilst you RP with the character. A +1 from me. Link to comment

Wiebman Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I don't think I've had a lot of experience with your characters yet, but I haven't seen you cause any trouble, and your background looks solid. +1 (: Link to comment
calion12 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Haven't really played many rounds with any of your characters but The most recent one, we rev'd together and it was one of the most fun rounds I have ever played. You handled a hostage situation with amazing detail and gave realistic demands, didn't just murder everyone in sight. plus 1 if my opinion counts for anything. Link to comment
