BYOND key:Contextual

Character names:Wesley Jesse, Danny Wile. Squeaky, Jailor Squeaksky, Twain

How long have you been playing on Aurora?:About a month and a half, I think.

Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?:It has been suggested to me multiple times recently that I should apply for CMO, and I figured I'd give it the old college try.

Why did you come to Aurora?:I got banned from Hypatia, and this server had roleplay on the cover.

Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?:Yes.

Please provide well articulated and argumented answers to the following questions in a paragraph each.

Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about:

Roleplay is when you put yourself into a character of any design, and effectively act out that character in a given situation, usually whilst interacting with other characters that are being played in the same manner. Roleplay can be any combination of fun, enlightening, educational, silly, serious, erotic, and stupid. Usually, those last two should be avoided, especially in a public setting. It's... really not complicated enough to write a full paragraph on.

What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?:

To provide a meatsack to lynch during Rev rounds, because without them rp revolution won't start properly. Additionally, the bleeding heart types would probably argue that they're there to set an example for the up and coming, to mentor those who would wish to learn.

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?:

This question is effectively the same as the one before it, but with a caviat: whitelisted players have no responsibility to 'other players.' To imply that a person with additional permission has responsibility to one that does not, is simply... ridiculous. Regardless, whitelisted players are entrusted by those around them with a degree of power, and the whitelisted are responsible to themselves and the power itself not to abuse it, not to squander it, and not to waste it through incompetence. I believe I have demonstrated my ability to do all of these things in the context of those roles I frequent that are already available to me, and can assure the reader that it would be no different in a head position.

Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions.

Character name:Wesley Jesse

Character age:31

Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs):

Wesley Jesse, born of Mars in 2426, had an incredibly average upbringing in middle-class environs. Following his heart down the well-trod path of patriotism-encrusted school funding, he signed up with the Sol Alliance Military in 2445, graduating as a paramedic in 2446. He served as a PJ for eight years, deploying every now and again with his team in a domestic capacity, usually in response to natural disasters or in compliment to other forces in dealing with high-risk criminal incidents. Towards the end of his schooling in 2453, Wesley's unit received experimental new medical exosuits for field testing, which lead to an unfortunate incident wherein Wesley's arm was broken.

Graduating in the midst of hospitalization and a paperwork nightmare, Wesley Jesse grew disillusioned with continued military service, letting his contract run out in 2454 and signing on with Nanotrasen as a chemist just about as soon as he could. Despite his bad experiences with the military's dark bureaucratic underbelly, Wesley misses his days in service, and moonlights in the Nanotrasen Security department every now and again.

What do you like about this character?:

I like this character because, well... he's fun to play. He sticks to his guns and has an incredible amount of respect for authority, especially his immediate superiors. He sticks to protocol as much as possible, all the while still cracking smart-ass comments whenever he sees fit.

What do you dislike about this character?:

If there is one thing I particularly dislike about this character, it's his difficulty with dealing with incompetence short of tearing the offender apart verbally. He is very impatient when someone is not performing to expectations, and this makes him a poor tutor, even if it is fun ooc'ly to rail on someone every once in a while.

Do you think this character is fit to be a Head of Staff?:

Yes.

Why?:

He has a lot of experience with medical treatment and a doctorate in pharmaceuticals, giving him the knowledge and ability to deal with the majority of wounds and situations, and has had adherence to protocol, paperwork, and the chain of command bred into him after many long years in the military. Though he does not necessarily possess the skills required for cloning or virology, he has the administrative ability to see to it that those members of his team that do conduct their business properly.

Please provide well articulated and argumented answers to the following questions.

How would you rate your own roleplaying?: Medium-Rare. Serious enough to not be stupid, silly enough to stay entertaining(and juicy).

THINK OF THE SHENANIGANS

THINK OF THE FUN

Shenanigans and fun aside, Wesley is still a character that somehow manages to be an extremely responsible, respectful smartass. He's well suited for the slow times (Read: Dead hour.) as well as emergencies. I think he'd make a great head. The player is a great RP'er, too.

+1

[Baka]

Wesley, I remember Wesley. How I was unsure at first of his because of his cockiness. We have disagreements about how pills should be made, what units should go into each, and who's the best chemist.

But Wesley is a competent medical bay professional. He has his own set way which works wonders. He's one of the best chemists on the server, and he takes his profession seriously. +1

[ZipZero]

You need to work for NT for at least 5 years before being considered for head of staff. Wesley Jesse has worked for less than 2 years, according to what you wrote. Additionally, a Chief Medical Officer, more than other heads of staff, is supposed to have at least basic working knowledge of most jobs in their department, considering that one of their duties listed in Standard Operating Procedure is "Assistance in Occupying Vacant Positions Not Filled by Present Staff". As far as I can tell, Wesley Jesse only has expertise in making and using medicines. As much as I love him, I don't think Wesley Jesse is a good fit for the position of CMO, at least not at the present time.

[Eliot Clef]

+1 for player. I know you'll make a good CMO.

Sounds like you need to make some character adjustments for it to work out completely, but I think you're good for it.

[SpiffyFishface]

I think you got what it takes. And honestly, I could see Wesley in the CMO seat or however you would put it.

+1. I hope to see great things.

Edited the dates a smidgimeter in order to make him viable for advancement, leaving important numbers as:

Years in management position: 6 years ranked CPL+

Years with medical experience: 8 years PJ; 3 years NT Chemist/EMT

Department-related degrees and qualifications:

- Bachelors in Pre-Pharmacy

- Masters in Chemistry

- Doctorate of Pharmaceuticals

- Sol Alliance Certification for Exosuit Piloting [specialty: EMT]

- Sol Alliance Qualification for EVA Exosuit Piloting

- Sol Alliance Certification for EVA Hardsuit Operation

- Sol Alliance Qualification for EVA Emergency Response

[ZipZero]

3 years NT Chemist/EMT

Three years is still less than five years. I have seen it stated before on head whitelist apps that you need to have at least 5 years of work for NT. And again, Wesley Jesse still doesn't possess the skills to be able to fulfill all of the duties of a CMO, as listed in SOP.

[Tenenza]

Contextual knows their Chems really, really, really well. It's kinda creepy how well he knows them. Doesn't seem that bad at the rest of medical either. But like, I'm not up voting him for that. I'm upvoting him, so that in the event my constant stream of corrupting maddness drives him over the edge, this will happen:

Squeaky, Captain, has arrived on the station.

3 years NT Chemist/EMT

Three years is still less than five years. I have seen it stated before on head whitelist apps that you need to have at least 5 years of work for NT. And again, Wesley Jesse still doesn't possess the skills to be able to fulfill all of the duties of a CMO, as listed in SOP.

I spoke with Tishina regarding this, and was told that three years was the minimum requirement for consideration for advancement.

[Tainavaa]

I am in no way, shape, or form advocating Contextual's head whitelist application as a sort of bribery, blackmail, or otherwise incriminating act.

+1.

Edit: Seriously though, he's a great roleplayer that has standards in mind whenever he plays a role that I've seen. He's fun, and performs well; IC and OOC.

[Thundy]

I have RP'd with Con numerous times. Wesley does not only know about chem, but is constantly giving advice to other members of medbay on how to do their jobs more effectively. I would love to see Wes in a leadership position as I am sure Con will do his best to make sure that he not only runs medbay in an uptight and paperworkedly fashion but also try and be as much of a smartass as possible for awesome arpee.

+1

[CoolfoolFTW]

+1 He talked to me ICly and we sparred. Also we broke bad together.

He is a good RPer and a good doctor.

[TishinaStalker]

Application accepted.

 

 

Glory to Aurora.
