calion12 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 BYOND key: Calion12 Character names: Vieniamin Sokolov, Jeice Alder, Fideal Al'Majoree,Cassimir Dan'Hanna, Nafisha Hirron, Lejila Sy'vactiir How long have you been playing on Aurora?: total, about a year to year and a half Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: The character I put forward used to be a colonel in the liberation army and as such has experience with command. Why did you come to Aurora?: It was similar to another server I used to play that got closed down. 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: Putting yourself into the head and mind of another character that you are trying to portray including speaking as they would and reacting to things as they would. This means putting personal feelings and personality aside in order to honestly portray your desired character which allows you to make friends and enemies for one character while not knowing them in another. This allows a lot of freedom in terms of how you play and act. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: to provide their department with direction and order so they can operate smoothly and efficiently while not infringing on other command staff's orders or departments. They do this by listening to the complaints of their department and defusing any infighting to keep things running at maximum efficiency and keeping everyone as happy as they can in order to allow people to feel safe and secure under the head's guidance and advice. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Provide explanations and guidance to people who are new to the game while ICly teaching them skills they need to know for their jobs and pointing out where they could improve. I will do this by answering OOC questions that they have and IC ones that they ask, helping their characters to advance in depth and complexity. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Vieniamin Sokolov Character age: 32 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Grew up on Adhomai with only a father as his mother had died during birth. He was taught as many things as he could by his father but was limited due to his father's military past. He took a shining to the arts and literary works which earned his father's ire. During the second civil war his father died due to an artillery shell misfire. He turned to religion after that, trying to look for a meaning in that tragedy. He was an average child when it came to grades, nothing too good or too bad but enough to pass without much issue. His human teacher urged him to further pursue education and arts but he turned away from this. He instead chose to keep his father's legacy alive and so joined up with the People's republic of Adhomai where he served for six years making it to colonel rank before leaving due to an incident that got his entire platoon killed due to him underestimating the enemy force. He went to sign up with Nano-Transen and became an officer. As an officer, he stuck to what he knew, observing the situation and sticking to the rules, never deviating unless they were extreme circumstances where lived hinged on his decisions. He did not want any more people to die as a result of his choices. He decided to head back to further pursue education in Law and military strategy and tactics so that he could become a head of security to ensure nobody else had to die or, if they did, that it would be his fault and his fault alone so that nobody else had to shoulder the burden of knowing people died as a result of them. He ended up getting a bachelor's degree in law and a master's in tactics. He has now returned NT in hopes of this promotion. What do you like about this character?: He is very caring in that he does not want others to experience the terrible things he has had to experience. When he falls short, he tries to better himself by studying so he does not have to face it again in the future. What do you dislike about this character?: He did turn tail and flee when he made his first mistake on Adhomai and he could be very self-centred, taking on every responsibility he can. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: He has experience with command already from his service on Adhomai and he would know tactics that would come in handy while operating a corporate security team. He enjoys working with people and is generally friendly which would prove useful for earning respect of the department and diffusing internal argument. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: 7/10 because I can sometimes slip out of character if I have a brain-fart moment or haven't decided on a character trait yet.

ShadowGabe23 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I have played a few rounds with some of his chars and he has shown to be a well rounded and competent player who knows what they are doing even in high-stress situations. They consistently role-play well and they are very fun to RP with as well so with that information I am giving this app a +1 Link to comment
AmoryBlaine Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I like him so far. I've not had any bad experiences with him. He's a good kitty. Link to comment
hivefleetchicken Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Let me tell you something. Calion is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite players here. He is the kind of player who does not take time out of everyone's round to protest petty things against their commanders. They totally respect the chain of command and authority. I have been consistently and somehow surprised, pleasantly, at how much this player sticks to what they're being ordered to do. A+, this guy is great. I really really love 'em from the bottom of my heart. Link to comment
Espa Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I think I've more ghosted and watched Vieniamin Sokolov than I have actually played with them, but I really enjoy Calion's perspective of a Security Officer. Very professional and reasonable - Which I love. If they want to reign over Security in some shifts, I would be very cool with watching that! Annika gives a +1 Link to comment

DatBerry Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I like Calion OOCly for the reasons already stated above, but I feel like his catbeast character is a tad bit incompetent. in one round he managed to raise the following red flags 1: offered a cadet a lawgiver without much background checking at all 2: the secvend was out of handcuffs for a long while (not really that much of an offense, even though i asked for it to be refilled twice) 3: didn't follow up with checking on the return of weapons he handed out, I had kept a laser carbine as a cadet for a long and only remembered it late and returned it myself but these aren't that much of an issue, and can be worked on, +1 from me.
