Reason for application + game experience (300 word minimum):
I've been playing since July of 2024 and fallen deeply in love with the game and community. I'm an avid roleplayer and have a strong love for games with a lot of technical depth that exercise my problem solving, so space station felt like a natural fit when I found it. I hadn't anticipated just how profoundly absorbing this clunky looking, relentlessly vulgar and chronically unserious game would be for me, and I've since sunk over 1600 hours into it and regretted none of it.
I've absorbed a lot of weird game knowledge during this time and have found joy in being taught, and find more joy still in passing on that knowledge, but I'm starting to press against the bounds of what would make sense to convey in character without having a sudden change in tone. Cricket wouldn't know that! Sips-The-Mix is too grumpy to teach egglet whelps! As a person though, I very much want to teach and get a great satisfaction from it. When conveying this sentiment in OOC, a number of mentors have encouraged me to apply, I don't remember them all but I do remember EmeraldEnergy saying so. I hope that constitutes a recommendation.
My areas of particular expertise are medical, botany, chemistry and security.
I got my start in medbay as Carol Milksot and had a number of opportunities to show medical assistants the ropes, discuss cryo mixes with my fellow doctors and lament the death of puriclone cheese.
I've been lurking around botany on Mess.OS for a long while splicing together the stupidest named cake I can manage and in the process learned the ins and outs of splicing, mutations, maximising attributes and nutrient use. Occasionally I'd get an in character question about how to make white weed or some such and I found the character choice of talking like industrial software really kneecapped communication. Whoops.
Chemistry has been a hard fixation for me a while, as Sips-The-Mix I committed to getting really really good at this one facet of the science department, and over the course of refining and improving my methods I found myself becoming somewhat of a helicopter parent in the chemlab, making sure everyone knows the right way to make oil etc, stopping just short of making a custom stamp reading "COOL IT AND CAP IT" to stamp on the foreheads of those that accidentally poison themselves with cyanide vapor.
In security I only ever play secass or detective, because I prefer the clerical and investigative responsibilities of those roles over the enforcement role of secoff, but I've been kicking around long enough to give advice on how to approach any aspect of the job as well as the technical ins and outs of much of the gear, short of armory stuff. Sec can be a hard job, and I never would have stuck with it without the kind way I was mentored into it, I feel ready to do some of the same in turn.
In conclusion, I want to be a mentor because my brain is full of highly specialised information that brings me a lot of joy, and I want to be empowered to spread that information to teach a new generation of robust antagonists increase the efficiency and profitability of NanoTrasen's investment.
