HoS/NTSC Application - Natalie Carter - HatSir - 08-09-2023 Usual character name: Natalie Carter BYOND username: HatSir Discord username (if you are on our discord): N/A Recommended by (if applicable): N/A Goon servers you play: 3, 4 Reason for application: I really would like to be able to be the kind of player people can rely on when the station (inevitably) starts to crash and burn. Having a HoS does reassure me, personally, and gives a lot more opportunity for roleplay, whether it be working under them as an officer, or facing up against them as an antagonist. I'd like to be that person who really can help someone's story move forward in the rounds of SS13. For all sides, the HoS is a beacon that can really drive a round forward- even in Extended rounds with a total lack of antagonists. Personally, I'd really be happy to bring any new people into the Security role proper. Also, I have GOT to pet Slyvester. Security experience (300 word minimum): I've been playing Security roles for a few months as both one Pandora Beloved and more recently, went fresh with Natalie Carter, who I've found to be a particularly good fit to the Security team. I like to think I'm not just protecting the station and it's crew- I'm tasked to protect the story of a round itself. On the RP servers, I've really had the chance to meet quite a few officers that show exemplary teamwork, roleplay, and communication as a part of the Security team, and I do hope I've taken on that ability as well. It's such a joy when your team works as a unit, recognizing successes and working past failures. It's most seen in rounds that lack antagonists at all- where these players show they're in it for so much more than just 'taking the bad guy down'. Of course, there might be some antagonists a bit more driven to only 'fight security', especially on bigger rounds with more antagonists to deal with, but even then it's better to keep playing the story out, maybe even inspiring them to get a bit more into it as well. Natalie strives to be a good impression on everyone she meets- even if they might have a gun or two pointed her way. It really does bring me joy when she interacts with other officers as an appreciated co-worker. She'll hustle (yay, more stamina) across the station at a moment's notice to offer you aid, prepared for just about anything to make sure the station and her coworkers are safe. Being a graduate of Space Officer Academy, as she says, I hope to show someone that hasn't had years of experience, but is still very much a professional in the field. She'll make sure the crew is safe from other members of Security, if need be. It's really important to know that some things can just be solved with a verbal warning, ticket, or fine. People will be more open and supportive of a less hostile Security force. Even a syndicate agent strapped to the teeth with hidden weapons can be talked down more peacefully. (I am VERY glad I did not meet a derringer and bladed gloves that day. Props to that antagonist for also playing along and not whipping them out just to use them.) If playing a round of SS13 doesn't bring fun and satisfaction to you and those around you, then what are you doing with your time, really? ![]() Answer two or more of the following:
RE: HoS/NTSC Application - Natalie Carter - Slazenger - 08-10-2023 I've had a few good shifts with Pandora; I'm guessing we play at slightly different times as we don't run into each other all that much. No issues that I'm aware of and you did well in the shared shifts. As I'm limited in what I directly know about your ability to teach others and take charge (as I believe I was HoS in nearly all of our shared shifts), your application is well written and touches on a bunch of things I love to see/hear from prospective beret fashionistas. Hope some more folks who get to play with you more comment! RE: HoS/NTSC Application - Natalie Carter - HatSir - 08-10-2023 Thank you for your comment! I did shelve Pandora from the Security role in general, since I wanted to put her character elsewhere. I'm glad I gave a good impression on the few times we've had together, and hope to do so again. RE: HoS/NTSC Application - Natalie Carter - EmeraldCrow - 08-12-2023 I end up in the same round as them a lot, I don't do security a lot right now but Natalie's always trying to keep the crew positive and I've seen them do a lot of good work, always happy to see them around! RE: HoS/NTSC Application - Natalie Carter - Silent Majority - 08-19-2023 I think I'd mainly like yo see you a little more experienced in sec. Right attitude. Post says good things. I just dont necessarily know if you have the sec hours for it yet. Give iy a bit and im sure id change my tune RE: HoS/NTSC Application - Natalie Carter - Glamurio - 08-23-2023 I'm agreeing with Silent's assessment here, I think HatSir makes for a capable officer, I myself have also seen more Pandora than Natalie. Nevertheless, I'd like to also see more of you. The training part notwithstanding, I don't recall you leading many shifts so far, which may be in part due to often having a HoS present. You have the skillset, I think if you're given more time, as well as the chance to stand out on some shifts and leading investigations, you'd make for a good HoS. RE: HoS/NTSC Application - Natalie Carter - LeahTheTech - 11-24-2023 We really appreciate the time and effort you put into this application, but have decided to deny it due to mixed community response. You're welcome to reapply in 60 days, which would be 23rd January 2024. In the meantime, I'd encourage you to keep sec officering! |
