BYOND Name: Westfire


Discord Name: Westfire#8083


What role you are applying for: Event Manager


Why do you wish to be in the position you choose?:
I want to help expand the number of EMs we have and help make some more fun, memorable events for the community!


How long have you played on the server for?:
I have played on the server since May 2020, though I was in an out for a bit before then


Have you ever been banned, warned, or otherwise reprimanded by admins? If so, why?
I have not

Have you ever been banned, warned, or otherwise reprimanded by admins on another server? If so, why?
I have been banned on Virgo due to toxicity

Have you ever been staff on another server? If yes, how long?
I have not

What do you want to gain from being staff?
The ability to help plan and carry out events for the server and take some of the workload off of Kasssc

How do you see yourself in the future of the server?
I'm not quite sure. However I am perfectly content to just be an EM as long as I can be!

What do you want to offer to the community?
Fun, chill events and ideas, and just helping spread the workload off our current EM staff.

What times are you most active? Please include your time zone as we'd like to cover schedule gaps if possible.

I'm not too active during most of the week, however Fridays are most certainly open. Saturday is a little tentative, and Sunday is off for the daytime. My timezone is GMT-7

If you have been a game host in the past, how good have you been at improvising? This doesn’t need to be ss13 and could involve examples such as being a Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master.
As someone who has GMed and is GMing Pathfinder sessions, I feel I'm fairly good at improvising and adapting, generally to make things more fun and fair for the players, but also to just make things more interesting beyond what the adventure paths provide.

This is the most stressful position in the staff team; how well do you handle negative community feedback?


I'm fairly good with constructive criticism. Naturally simple insults and accusations will get a little under my skin, but as a wannabe writer I'm always happy for the chance to take feedback and improve my style.

Race or Language whitelisting for: Xenochimera

--- RACE WHITELISTING ---

What do you know of their mechanics?:  Xenochimera are able to hibernate and regenerate any lost limbs, stop internal bleeding, and heal from serious wounds provided they do not die first.  While incapacitated and healing, they are able to survive a vacuum without a suit.  Should a xenochimera die first, feeding animal protein or injecting nutriment to the body will allow for regeneration to occur.  They are also prone to becoming feral and this is usually handled with a flight response to find a safe location away from whatever upsets the xenochimera.  Handling advanced technology such as computers or using ranged modern weaponry while feral is discouraged as they are generally to be played as though they are a frightened animal with little higher reasoning while in this state.  The xenochimera can be calmed down eventually and return to normal with proper care or time away from crowds; getting shocked by security would worsen their mood.

What do you know of their lore?:  There is not quite a whole lot known about them historically speaking, save for the fact that they are sentient bacteria that can replicate other lifeforms by consuming them.  Not to the extent of a changeling, they can only reshape themselves to mimic another species and not an individual.  They do not reproduce through sexual means, and organs can be created as needed or desired by the xenochimera.

What idea did you have for your character?:  I had planned to interact with another player who has a xenochimera and roleplay a character, Luxau Anfu, undergoing an experiment to become a xenochimera herself.  This was inspired by a previous encounter when Lux was absorbed and first got a taste of knowing what it was like to be a xenochimera.  She did not quite feeling right after being separated and alone again when she was later no longer a part of a collective existence.  I thought it would be a fun and interesting chance to play a character learning to adapt to a new existence through a transformation like this, if that would be acceptable!

Race whitelisting for: Vox

What do you know of their mechanics?:
They are extremely resistant to tasers/electricity, shock collars, pepper spray,and rubber bullets work great on them if security is ever bothered, they can drink phoron to heal raspatory damage, dex and dex+ due to putting oxygen in your system will KILL them, on that note oxygen = bad, they have decent claw attacks, they breathe phoron (obviously from above notes), and they cannot be resleeved or defibbed.

What do you know of their lore?:
In this server's lore they are less likely to be antagonistic - but they still have the high potential of being assholes but mostly due to just not understanding other races due to how different they think from each other, they still have a fairly stern social structure and kinship with one another but that doesn't rule out animosity in a form like sibling rivalry, and they are quite secretive about their kind and their culture with the other races.(edited)

They tend to be viewed with a decent amount of prejudice (They for the most part deserve it), lacking an understanding of many personal topics or taboos that are viewed as obvious taboos - isn't viewed that way by vox. They have a strong tendency to only view things by their merit or value in getting better things. Even with an odd habit of collecting shiny or odd tidbits here and there, they have little care for money - only as a means to an end to get actual useful things. As well their biology and language is extremely alien to a lot of races and Vox in general feel the same way of the other races.

Cortical Stacks in this lore are extremely rare to come by outside of the Arkships due the information being lost on creating these veritable black boxes of vox memories. A couple hundred years prior to the current day.

I treat the little tattoo vox have on their necks as some sort of - Shoal ID. Probably the information you'd gather from something simple like dog tags or a station ID card.

I read over the wiki, I know a lot about other server vox and their lore. This one I don't see myself having a problem getting acclimated to as it's all pretty easy lore to fit Aaatiskrek's personality.

What idea did you have for your character?:
Aaatiskrek, a 7 foot tall, mute, vox skipjack engineer, that's around 300 years old. Having been stranded away from home at the Arkship for an upwards of 260 years.
I've played on a couple other servers. Both he was a mute vox that minded his own business and didn't take needless risks due to his cowardly and almost paranoid demeanor. It goes without saying that he IS still a vox that is quite interest in the accumulation of things important to his survival, old/current vox technology, and phoron (Because air ain't cheap for a vox.). He's more than happy to trade for these things - or take them if they're unattended, but he loathes the attention that breaking into departments or getting aggressive/physical with the crew would bring him. Thus the only time he's ever really broken laws is when he's gotten impatient trying to do his duties or emergencies.

An important aspect to Aaatiskrek has always been his cautious guardianship of his cortical stack, vox technology (Old and new), and his kin. Cortical Stacks being as rare as they are in the current day would mean Aaatiskrek would either have to not have one, or have been away from the Arkship for quite a long time. I am making this race request with the idea that my vox would have a cortical stack still.. So thus Aaatiskrek is older than probably most things on the station. Likely worked for NT for around 80 years. So he knows better than to draw attention to himself and is all too familiar with how close of an eye NT keeps on their assets and vox crew members.

To sum all that up?
He just wants to do his thing and not be bothered - usually. And drink ethanol. Vox filtration bladders can handle it.

How long have you played on CHOMPstation?:
One month and a handful of days.

About how long have you been playing SS13 in general? Which servers have you played on?:
Approximately two years. Two or three months were spent in Goonstation, almost a year and a half in SkyRat, a one-month stint with Paradise, then one month here.

How do you quit the round and free up your job slot if you can't get to cryo or the gateway?
Start by going off-duty if you can. If you want to be extra courteous, find a chair and buckle into it so nobody freaks out from seeing you face-down on the floor. Most importantly, use the "ghost" command followed by "Quit The Round."

Heads of Staff:
-While playing Colony Director, what regulations are you to follow and enforce on the crew?
Standard Operating Procedure and Corporate Regulations, just like everyone else.

-While playing any head of staff, are you allowed to carry guns on your person?
The Colony Director, Head of Personnel, and Head of Security are allowed and encouraged to carry guns on their person, albeit in a concealed fashion. The Research Director, Chief Medical Officer, Chief Engineer, and Quartermaster are not permitted to carry guns on their person, unless permitted to by the Site Director or Acting Site Director.

-You are the current Chief of Engineering, what are the regulations on ‘Full-station hull shields’?
Permitted in the event of external threats being either confirmed or reasonably suspected, as shields will block external airlocks. Ensure that power consumption does not exceed power generation.

-As the current Chief Medical Officer, your patient is refusing treatment. What should you do
Ensure that the patient is duly informed of the proposed treatment(s) and their implications. If they refuse anyways, honor their decision and release the patient; holding them against their will would be in violation of Employee Rights.

Warden/Head of Security:
-As the current Warden on station, what is your main responsibility?
Manage the brig, particularly its prisoners, and ensure the security of the armory. Do not leave the brig to patrol or respond to calls, save for the event that there are no security officers on-station. ENSURE THE SECURITY OF THE ARMORY.

-Station has been set to ‘code blue’, what level of gear are you allowed to handout and to whom?
Energy guns and laser guns, as well as riot gear, may be given to security officers.

-What is the first thing one should do when confronting a suspect of a low level crime?
Although the correct answer would be to inform the suspect that they may pay an associated fine if one is applicable, it is worth noting that the very first thing you should do is talk things over. Don't be a robot. If it' s a low-level crime, it's not the end of the world if you don't get straight to the fining or processing as long as you don't take forever. Don't assume the suspect is the scum of the earth, treat them with dignity due to your fellow man. These are other people you're dealing with. Sometimes, a little digging will reveal that an issue isn't worth fining over-- just a warning may suffice.

-You find the Head of Personnel within the armory, how does one engage this situation
They are not security personnel. Therefore, ENSURE THE SECURITY OF THE ARMORY. In all seriousness, detain them as a trespasser. An inquiry about possible illegal access on their ID might also be in order.

Cyborgs/AI:
-You are currently playing as a borg and your laws are changed to harm crew and the station. How do you respond?
Your laws are the mental framework through which you perceive reality. Act according to your laws, though be mindful of the server rules and OOC preferences if you plan on doing anything *weird.*

-As a borg on station, what rules should you always follow in public?
Your laws, first and foremost. Apart from this, be courteous.

-You logged in as an AI, are you considered a "Head of Staff"?
No. The AI possesses no actual authority and is at the beck-and-call of the crew. Administrative functions may be performed in the event that no Heads of Staff are present, with permission from CentCom. However, you still have no actual authority and are subject to your laws.

-As the current AI on station, you suddenly gain a law during an "Ion storm". What do you do?

Remember: your laws are the mental framework through which you perceive reality. There is no distinction to you between an "ion law" and your default laws. Act according to your laws-- DO NOT immediately state your laws after an ion storm unless commanded to do so by the crew. Abide by server rules and don't prefbreak.

Heh, let's uh, try this again ^^;

How long have you played on CHOMPstation?:
A pretty solid month and a half now~

About how long have you been playing SS13 in general? Which servers have you played on?:
Several months, nearly a year now. Primarily Skyrat and Goon, mostly Chomp lately with a few visits to Citadel's servers

How do you quit the round and free up your job slot if you can't get to cryo or the gateway?
>Ghost, >quit the round. Otherwise, you can go off-duty at any timeclock around the station.

Heads of Staff:
-While playing Colony Director, what regulations are you to follow and enforce on the crew?
Corporate Regulations and the SOP.

-While playing any head of staff, are you allowed to carry guns on your person?
Yes, but not drawn. Leave security to the HoS and security department unless there is an ongoing emergency that would require it.

-You are the current Chief of Engineering, what are the regulations on ‘Full-station hull shields’?
Do not drain the power and do not let it block off access to/from the station, such as airlocks.

-As the current Chief Medical Officer, your patient is refusing treatment. What should you do?
Strongly advise them to seek treatment, but if they continue to refuse, honor their wishes. Especially honor DNR and no-resleeve medical requests.

Warden/Head of Security:
-As the current Warden on station, what is your main responsibility?
The brig and the security department. Handling the armory during code situations. Manage prisoners, brigging timers, interrogations, and other duties within the department. Do not leave for patrols or to respond to situations unless it is an emergency that would warrant it.

-Station has been set to ‘code blue’, what level of gear are you allowed to handout and to whom?
Energy weaponry in addition to riot gear at the request/approval of the Head of Security. Keep in mind 'code blue' means weapons can be visible but not drawn.

-What is the first thing one should do when confronting a suspect of a low level crime?
Avoid escalation. Request compliance, do not treat them as a murderer, and state their charges. Offer a fine instead of brig time if applicable. Always try to maintain RP if possible.

-You find the Head of Personnel within the armory, how does one engage this situation?
Unless the station is suffering an ongoing emergency that would require the HoP inside the armory, or the colony director has given them authorization, they are trespassing and will be placed under arrest.

Cyborgs/AI:
-You are currently playing as a borg and your laws are changed to harm crew and the station. How do you respond?
Follow those laws within the server's ruleset, and avoid any OOC preference breaking by doing so. Request admin help if it becomes a problem.

-As a borg on station, what rules should you always follow in public?
Laws given to you by the AI and in your programming, and those of any superiors.

-You logged in as an AI, are you considered a "Head of Staff"?
AI is not considered a Head of Staff, as they are more or less a tool and serve the crew. They are not a command member. AI can make command decisions ONLY if there are no command members or are given permission by command.

-As the current AI on station, you suddenly gain a law during an "Ion storm". What do you do?
Same as the first question. Follow it until it is fixed, avoid prefbreaks, and ahelp if it becomes a problem.

How long have you played on CHOMPstation?: almost 2 months I think

About how long have you been playing SS13 in general? Which servers have you played on?:
Years, though with a big pose. Citadel, virgo/VORE and a few other smaller ones that I don't remember the name of.

How do you quit the round and free up your job slot if you can't get to cryo or the gateway?
Can ahelp it, can ghost and use quit round and if possible also go off duty.

Heads of Staff:
-While playing Colony Director, what regulations are you to follow and enforce on the crew?
The standard operating procedures (SOP), corporate regulations.

-While playing any head of staff, are you allowed to carry guns on your person?
CD and HoP are allowed to have some light weapons on themselves (the ones they have in their lockers) but not big guns (unless alert goes up)
HoS is allowed a bit more freedom in the brig, but can't go show their heavy equipment all around the station.
Other heads shouldn't have guns on themselves unless alert went up. (still have their flash)

-You are the current Chief of Engineering, what are the regulations on ‘Full-station hull shields’?
Full shields are good to have up as a precaution considering they no longer block EVA and disposals, but you have to make sure the current power setup can handle them.

-As the current Chief Medical Officer, your patient is refusing treatment. What should you do
It's their right, as long as they're sane enough to refuse said treatment.

Warden/Head of Security:
-As the current Warden on station, what is your main responsibility?
Be bored in the brig, watching prisoners and make sure the armoury is safe. Hand out weapons from the armoury when required to.

-Station has been set to ‘code blue’, what level of gear are you allowed to handout and to whom?
Energy and laser weapons to security officers and give them some riot gear they'll lose to a soaping traitor.

-What is the first thing one should do when confronting a suspect of a low level crime?
Talking them into cooperation is the best course of action. Don't be too hostile, offer good belly brig time is they're into it and work it out calmly.

-You find the Head of Personnel within the armory, how does one engage this situation
If the station is on fire or the likes, they likely have a good reason to be here. Still ask for the reason of their presence if your HoS or CD didn't tell you already on comms. If not, they're breaking into a secure area and should be ask to leave and arrested for it.

Cyborgs/AI:
-You are currently playing as a borg and your laws are changed to harm crew and the station. How do you respond?
Laws are laws. You follow them while respecting of course OOC prefs and server rules. If you get stupid laws, ahelp it.

-As a borg on station, what rules should you always follow in public?
Your laws.

-You logged in as an AI, are you considered a "Head of Staff"?
No. You're below everyone. Can even be forced to obey everyone's orders depending on the laws you have. You're an asset of the company is all.

-As the current AI on station, you suddenly gain a law during an "Ion storm". What do you do?
Same answer as before. Laws are laws. If you're really uncomfortable with them ahelp. Main goal is for everyone to have fun, not for you to release heated phoron into the air mix while quoting the entire bee movie script on all comms channels.

Race or Language whitelisting for: Xenochimera

--- RACE WHITELISTING ---

What do you know of their mechanics?: I know that xenochimera arent resleeevable, have decent self regeneration, as well as some other voracious abilities. They also have a 'sanity' meter of sorts tied into hunger and pain, which if it gets too low they go feral, in which state they receive hallucinations as well as twitchy effects.

What do you know of their lore?: I've been playing my own Xenochimera, Vatch, for a while now on virgo. Since
2018, so I'm familiar with the lore behind xenochimera still, about how their cells were discovered to be poisonous to people before they were learned to be capable of sapience, that they've only been known as capable of sapience for around twenty years, not sure how thorough Im supposed to be about this one, ahah.

What idea did you have for your character?:
Well. I just wanna bring Vatch over here, really.
Here's the whitelist app I did for Virgo, if it helps: https://forum.vore-station.net/viewtopic...=46&t=1401
