Bulzome Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) BYOND key:Bulzome2335 Character names: Rhichard Echard, Felix Cashman, Caleb Faust How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Since November 2015 Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I want to be whitelisted so that I can have a role that carries more responsibility. I believe I have enough experience in the specific department the head of staff I want to play as works in to be able to fulfill that responsibility. Why did you come to Aurora?: I wanted a better role-playing experience. I thought Bay was too slow, so I came here and I have been loving it. Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: Yes 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: I believe roleplay is something meant to enhance a game. Roleplay is there to make the game more fun, to add realism to these scenarios that it can create. Even if not everyone playing is the best roleplayer fun scenarios can be made by others and then those people can take part and become better at roleplaying. Roleplaying should be about enhancing the game, making it fun and learning how to get better at roleplaying. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, in-game?: A Head of Staff is there to provide organization to the round, to provide leadership. They are also there to teach people. Heads of Staff OOC can be seen as very experienced players in one job or another. They can then help and teach and as I said in my previous paragraph can be their to enhance the game and RP. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: To keep things going. To compensate for the antics and potential behaviors of others. To keep the spirit and the motion of the round going, to keep the "plot" going, even if it involves you "losing". At times even going out of your way to create fun situations. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Rhichard Echard Character age: 30 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Rhichard Echard. Born in the Sol System in the year 2429. Born of a union between a low level executive of Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals and a captain of an independent trading ship, his early years were chaotic. At times he was on Earth living with a guardian while his father was on the R&D facility Zeng-Hu had on Luna. At other times he was traveling with his mother on her trading ship, going from planet to planet. Even with him being in almost constant transit he received an above average education, payed for by his father. By the age of fourteen he had been settled on Earth with a permanet guardian. In his teenage years he was actually quite well behaved and besides an occasional sneaking out of his residence at night and other things you would except a person of his age to do he remained that way. At seventeen he got his first job. Running security for a small business in a "bad" area. While nothing ever happened and all he had to do was sit and wait at the business, he learned things that would set him out on his career. He was now eighteen, after running several other security jobs for more "high level" businesses he had finished school and sought to get a degree. This was no trouble at all seeing as his father made enough money to pay for wherever he could go to. In the end he went to a relatively good college and majored in Security Training and minored in Criminal Justice. This did not mean at all he was an expert. He was still very clumsy and was still learning. Luckily for him that did not matter. His father used his influence in Zeng-Hu to get him a position as a Security Officer at their R&D facility on Luna. Their he experienced more than he ever could of then at a business on Earth. Though he never reached a high echelon security position, he did get a few commendations and he likes to think he would of been a front runner if a position had been open. Fast forward three years when he was twenty-three and he lost his job. His father had been removed from his potion. It was found that he had been stealing money from the company and was very lack-luster in his job. Despite this work was no trouble due to his experience in security he was able to get a job at a NanoTrasen Research facility, where he has now worked for almost eight years, first as an Security Officer then as the Warden of the facility's Brig. He is supportive of Nanotrasen but at times is bored of his job. He hopes he will come up for promotion, though he knows not to be too optimistic. What do you like about this character?: I like this character because I have not given him a set personality. On some days he can be completely boring. On others completely radiant and happy. On others miserable or angry. I can make him whatever I want him to be each time I play. What do you dislike about this character?: Probably the same things I like about him. There are times when I wish I could decide and give him a set and unique personality. Sometimes it seems like he is a boring nobody. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: He is professional. He has experience now in two major corporations and he is not just some regular high school diploma security guard, he actually has a college education. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: 7-8/10, I know I am capable of roleplaying, but I am a bit clumsy in conversations. I like a high RP atmosphere but in role play with specific characters I keep a light-medium level of detail in my actions. Extra notes: Edited June 9, 2017 by Guest Link to comment
Bulzome Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 Bump. I know moderator applications are going on. Admittedly it was not the best time to post an application. Hopefully I can get some feedback soon. Link to comment
TishinaStalker Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Moderator apps has nothing to do with it. You can advertise your application on server once per round. Link to comment
Bulzome Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 Moderator apps has nothing to do with it. You can advertise your application on server once per round. Which I have been. I would think people would be more interested in those applications at the moment. Link to comment
Superiorform Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I like the backstory, it is interesting, believable, and detailed. However, you say he had worked for NanoTrasen for 5 years, and I believe you need 10 years experience with NT to become a head of staff. Another issue with the character, in my opinion, is you changing his personality every round. I'm not sure this is a good thing in a HRP server. Perhaps you could come up with some sort of IC justification for this type of behaviour. I fully agree with all of your other answers, and I would like to see head whitelisted players with that attitude. I can't say I've seen any of your characters, but I am BST, so that's probably why. Definitely a +1 from me, but please clear up the minor issues I mentioned. Good luck! Link to comment

I have seen, when looking through other applications they also have in their backstory that they were with NT for around ten years. I was planning on changing it but thank you for pointing it out again. And yes I do realize my character's ever changing personality is a problem, I hope I can find a "good fit", you could say soon. Once again than you for the feedback. Link to comment
