Usual character name: Kira Hunt / GABI3 / IO-02.sys
BYOND username: EmeraldEnergy
Discord username (if you are on our discord): orchidcollective
Recommended by (if applicable):
Goon servers you play: 3
Reason for application + game experience (300 word minimum):
My reason for application, boiled down to the most basic, is that I just adore teaching people, it is one of my favourite parts of the goon community. I always jump at the chance to help an assistant, and I’ve sat and helped many people through their first few rounds.
I’ve often said that there is some form of pure joy that comes from teaching someone, and then watching them do better than what you can do. I also know that the way you teach someone is extremely important. Whether you are just nudging them in the right direction, or giving them a full tutorial, or answering questions, the person asking for help shouldn’t feel embarrassed, so I always try my best to make them feel comfortable.
I’ve been playing since late 2019, so that’s about four years of experience, and 2550 hours (thats 106 days, jesus christ). I took a small six month break in 2020, but I’ve been here ever since. Starting out, I was very nervous and shy, and therefore never asked questions, so it took me a very VERY long time to learn things that many others would learn in under a few shifts, though I think that gives me a unique perspective on how *not* to learn new things, and to be able to sniff out anyone who may need some help, but is too scared to ask.
I started on the classic servers, exclusively playing randomly generated characters, until I moved onto RP.
I know many areas of the game, security, silicon/borg/ai, medical, general querys, and civilian departments are some of my specialities. I know a bit of science, though it was never my main focus . I was an MDir main for a solid year or so, and a sec main and an AI/borg main for even longer.
I considered applying for HoS, as teaching assistants was a very big part of that job, but after some thought, I realised that teaching assistants was the only reason I wanted to be HoS (aside from cool cape). Nowadays, I want to be more of a “cool aunt” of sec, looking out for the trainees and defending and helping them grow.
The one area I am… lacking in, would be engineering and mechcomp . I do intend to dedicating some time to learning it, I have a lot to do these days, and ss13 is my relaxing time, NOT stressful time, so I have to find a weekend or something.
I use mentor help sometimes (I know most of the stuff I’m doing, its mostly just things like “Hey, can this be mechscanned?” et cetera)
Im not very active on the discord, aside from the character art thread, which my little artist ass checks daily, but that is mostly because I don’t really have a reason to be. I sometimes check in on the questions channel, but y’all always get to the questions before me. I do sometimes inject myself into conversations on RP chat, but you guys are too cool for me :waa:
Previous bans (while this will not affect your application lying about it will):
I do not have any bans myself, a few warnings, but I have learnt from my mistakes
