Firefly / Cpt. Ashe Harding's HELIX Division Leader Application

HELIX DvL Application Sheet
Steam name: Firefly
SteamID: STEAM_0:1:31458926
How long have you been part of the community? ~2 Weeks
How long have you been playing HL2RP? ~4-5 years

Have you ever been banned before? Negative

Have you ever had experience within staff or owned a serious RP server? Affirmative

What motivates you to want to become the HELIX DvL?
The will to lead, teach, learn, and the ability to help. The will to do what's right, while under commission to do such things mentioned previously, while maintaining civil stability.

Do you have any past experience with running a division within the MPF? Negative

Give a detailed description what a Divisional is supposed to do:
A Division Leader handles the affairs of the units in his or her division below them. They train the units below them, even when that unit is an EpU/OfC. They work with other DvL's and units in groups to ensure duty and consumption, practice and balance, so long as they are alive and well. They council with the SeC and CmD when a meeting is called upon for such. And lastly, they handle the promotion and enhancement of unit body.

Give a detailed roleplay situation example showing how you would interact with a lower ranked unit.
**C45.MPF.HELIX.DvL.86753 steps out of the Nexus shortly after restocking on zip-ties and fixing a prison-cell locking device. He'd pull his radio up to his mask filters and speak into it while holding the button down "Unit 93264, 05. Please report to the Garage shortly after completing 10-50 and report sociostability status with citizen count."
**C45.MPF.HELIX.05.93264 responds in her radio "10-4, Division Leader." and powerwalks over the HELIX Garage where she was summoned several minutes later, setting her stun-baton on her belt and entering the building. "Division Leader, civil status is green and only seven citizens. I had to re-educate a level 1 violator." she said flatly.
**C45.MPF.HELIX.DvL.86753 nods and sets his can of Special Breen's Reserve down on the table next to him, "Good work. You're learning quick. It's about time I issue you a prototype Arc Welder to test out, along with the Mk.2 HCV Suit for testing as well. It's bulky, so be prepared to have to carry a little bit of weight. I'm working on making it lighter." he said, reaching out and opening the table's large cabinet space and retrieving two devices, one heavier than the other as indicated in a tilt towards the direction of the heavier item. "And are you forgetting something 05? Something that involves you belonging under authority? You will salute, its proper etiquette for respect of authority, or I will not hesitate to whack you a good one on the top of the head with an active stunstick!"
**C45.MPF.HELIX.05.93264 jumps a bit when the male's voice is raised, then quickly gets into an attentive stance and slapping her hand against her brow of the visor and saluting the man.
**C45.MPF.HELIX.DvL.86753 grumbles irritatedly and steps over to the unit "Better. At ease. Just take the damn things and figure out how to put them on. The welding torch isn't all that hard to use, seeing as you were trained for welding."
**C45.MPF.HELIX.05.93264 relaxes upon prompt, grabbing the items and starting to juggle them around her body, before finally managing to slip the undersuiting below her uniform and protective light vest. "I think I got it now... Yeah, I got it.."
**C45.MPF.HELIX.DvL.86753 adjusts his own vest before turning around and letting the 05 do their business, turning around after about three minutes when the unit finally figured out how to put on the suit. "Fantastic. I see it fits well, now activate the heating element and walk around the area where the CWU HQ is for a while then report back to me and give me the details."
**C45.MPF.HELIX.05.93264 nods and starts heading out, "10-4." were the last words she said before her departure.
**The 05 came back some-10 minutes later sweating her behind off, panting like a dehydrated dog in the desert. The Division Leader looked back for a moment from his terminal, "Had it set on the Blizzard setting didn't you? Word of advice, the name is just that for a reason, so pay more attention next time. Turn the ventilator on and the element off, I've got a makeshift propane space heater going." were his words to the female.
**C45.MPF.HELIX.05.93264 groaned and did as she was instructed, looking down at the chest indicator and pressing some buttons on the suit's custom-built MPDA which opens a slot in the neck where a fan now protrudes, blowing hot air out of the suit. "Dang....it was below 0 and I was still sweating...might need some work, because a blizzard could be going on and you would still probably sweat.."
**C45.MPF.HELIX.DvL.86753 shakes his head briefly with a short smirk and wipes dust away from his visors, "I've got a dummy scanner that's got a couple bullet holes in it's front face flaps for you, looks like you get to do a little work."
**C45.MPF.HELIX.05.93264 responds with a prompt "Yes sir.." and took the welding torch out and a hammer from the toolkit, crouching by the dummy scanner. She begins to flatten the blown-out areas where the holes are, then take the welder prong and press the end around the hole, melting the metal to where it closes itself up. It's a bit sloppy, but the training only just begun with the estranged type of welding device.
**C45.MPF.HELIX.DvL.86753 shrugs..."Not bad, you did better than the last guy I did this with. Keep on practicing with that, and surely you'll get to be on my high command some day." was his comment, helping the unit back up to a standing pose. "Now, conduct 10-50 again, set the heating element on medium this time." he shared sarcastically, prompting the switch on the 05's MPDA on the wrist.
**C45.MPF.HELIX.0593264 hides her disdain for judging the temperature wrongly "Alright, I'll get right on that", nodding and walking out of the Garage after gauging the element to it's optimal setting.

Give a detailed roleplay situation example showing your use of Mechanical or Construction RP.
**C45.MPF.HELIX.DvL.86753 enters the HELIX Garage after a long while of training and duty "Unit H-867 going off duty, 10-7.", pandiculating before approaching the lift and moving up to the top floor, stepping over to the large table with scrap and electronic parts are scattered along, plenty to use for a little device.
**C45.MPF.HELIX.DvL.86753 takes out the toolkit and opens the flap to expose the dark grey hand tools, taking an empty propane tank and setting it standing upright, taking a moment to draw out a sort of blueprint on his MPDA for template purposes to guide the action from, grabbing some loose 10" steel T-bars and standing them up, taking a diamond-tipped drill and drilling several holes into the thin beams.
**C45.MPF.HELIX.DvL.86753 then taps a black button on his MPDA which activates the light-visors in his MEMV2 helmet for canceling out bright lights when welding. He'd run 1" steel rods through the holes drilled into the bars and unclip his Arc Welder from the belt, pressing the prong onto the slot, creating very bright lights as the sparks and heat being applied to the metal nearly instantly seals the rods in their marked places.
**C45.MPF.HELIX.DvL.86753 takes an O-ring with three thin holes around the O-part of the ring where smaller rods will go through later, but for now he begins by attaching the ring around the propane canister's exit valve, nodding and grunting "Perfect." before pulling the ring away and taking three elbow rods and welding them into place in the middle of the steel rods connecting the T-bars, sticking the ring just on the ends of the elbow joints-tips and welding the ring there.
**C45.MPF.HELIX.DvL.86753 lets out a deep sigh before drawing some rubber tubing for gas to pass through, running the tube through the ring which faces up, which is where gas will go, screwing an old metal filter head onto the end with numerous holes drilled through it so that liquid could pass through before the charcoal filter was removed, checking to make sure the propane tank would fit onto the of the tubing. He'd screw the other end onto the nozzle, nodding with satisfaction before unscrewing it again.
**C45.MPF.HELIX.DvL.86753 groans and takes a one foot-thick empty gas housing chamber and takes some scrap small-door, door hinges and gluing them back on to where the belonged on the housing chamber lazily, then welding them in place since they'd still be in place for him to be able to do so. The housing was a little big for the tank, but it worked, placed in between the contraption's supports.
**C45.MPF.HELIX.DvL.86753 reaches for a full propane tank and a flat, round piece of iron, and three addition elbow joints. He'd then quickly weld the iron piece shortly after bending it outwards to make it convex, welding the other ends around the T-bars, setting a metal cage around the filter head under the convex dome, then setting the filled propane tank into the gas housing chamber and hooking the tubing up, opening the flow of fumes and taking a lighter, setting the gas into a small blaze and quickly jerking his hand back when his rubber glove melts a little, closing the caging and having a seat, slowing down the flow of gas to make a lighter flame.
**C45.MPF.HELIX.DvL.86753 finally props his feet up and relaxes for the night, taking in the heat from the makeshift space heater, pulling his mask off and sighing. "Good stuff..."

Explain why it’s very important that you behave appropriately as the HELIX Divisional:
Setting a poor example for the lower-ranking units can lead to units trying to act as outlaws which can degrade socio-stability and other terrors to the MPF

Why is it important that you get recruited over all the other applicants?
Because I believe that I am very qualified for the technical range of the MPF forces, with loads of experience, and an endless supply of creativity.
I am willing to teach, willing to lead, at any cost. I believe that I'm quite intelligent and good for the position.

Are you able to preform as a forum moderation as you will be responsible for the HELIX section of the forum? Affirmative

Do you already have the MPF whitelist? Affirmative

I'm not going to lie, the role play example(s) display a very, very kind DvL, at least compared to what should be expected. Especially since the 05 did not salute to the DvL, something which is expected from an 05.
As far as I know, there's no access to tea. Not like the UU make tea, and I honestly doubt there's any left. The DvL also called the 05 'sweetie' near the very end of the example, which isn't all that appropriate for a DvL.
If your DvL is going to behave like this, I don't believe you're fit for the position.

EDIT:
Due to recent changes in this application, I will give my support. Everything seems alright, except for the tea.

EDIT2:
The tea has been removed, I no longer see anything wrong with the application.

I read the RP examples, as Niko said above if the DvL is going to be as kind as they were in the example then i'm going to have to say I don't think you are fit for the position. We already have a Dr.Phil Judge DvL, we don't need anymore.

I've never saluted someone that called for my presence because there was just no point. But if etiquette is THAT strict, then I suppose I should have remembered. But the friendliness is only off duty which is what you'd expect really, and the "sweetie" is a gag to slightly disturb the women. I heard they hate that. Tea is tea, tea trees still grow, and plants still bloom. The world wasn't nuked. It was only invaded.

And to be quite frank, I wrote this app at like 2 in the morning and passed out on the couch shortly after, so I think mistakes were bound to happen due to improper function capabilities. If I need to make edits (because to be honest not even my OfC is nearly this friendly and I KNOW that a DvL is supposed to act a bit differently.) then I will.

Edit: Changes have been made. Excuse my sleep-deprived take at life.

-Support
Re-correcting your app, then basically telling them to change there statement is dumb. They stated that and they should keep it. I feel that you have way to many whitelists already and don't need DvL because you need to play on other whitelists more. You'll spend to much time on DvL and if you don't your going to need to anyway. Also bullshit 4-5 years, you cant actually have 4-5 years. You would have had to played 24/7 for 4 years.

There is nothing dumb about that. Changing your application until it's either accepted or denied is fine, and those that want can change their statement. Plus the DvL isn't an additional whitelist.
And 4-5 years is not 'bullshit'. How long you've been playing HL2RP isn't exactly counted by each and every minute you're on the server, but for how many days/years it has been since you began. For example, if I began 5 days ago, I'd have played HL2RP for 5 days, even if I only was on 3 hours a day.

I will personally suggest that people look away from Bushy's -support, as I do not, in my opinion, deem it valid at all.

Off-Topic: Fuck me, this application is more of a trainwreck then when I criticised Nickofetts CmD Application.

On-Topic: I agree with Eyebrows on the fact that you shouldn't edit your application after having posted it, spelling errors and all should be accepted - Unless there's a problem with the formatting, IE, being raped in the face by bright primary colours.

The first example you had was one of a tea-drinking DvL which was calm and kind and on that basis, I'ma say -1 Support, sorry.

So you're -1ing because of something that doesn't exist anymore.
Great logic, br0.
Also coming from the fact that there's no rule stated against editing applications, you have no right to do what you did.
But I'm no cop, so I technically have no right to be questioning your rights.

With what I agree with, realistically an application for a job or anything else wouldn't offer "Edit" options because when you hand it in, you hand it in. Like a test. Also, the RP your character offers isn't a "good" RP as I would regularly see. -support on this one. nothing personal.

Nah, I know you guys are -supporting because you don't like me.
That's cool, no hard feelings and shit, just don't lie about why.

I'm -1ing the application because of how it /was/, if you get mid-RP and you're like "Oh wait, I forgot to do something... Can we void like the last 30 minutes?" people will get annoyed with you, Also just because there's no rule that says "Don't metagame" but it doesn't mean that people are allowed to do it. Lastly, you get defensive over feedback and criticism, so... Good one.

I'm not saying that you're not qualified for the position, I'm just saying that the example you posted originally wasn't acceptable because we have enough Dr. PHILvLs running around and as a decision, I'm not allowing a complete re-write of an application just so it can get a more favourable vote.

However, keeping in mind that currently (As the other thread was locked) with as many -1's that you have, you're still leading.

To be frank, I changed it because I wrote it at 2 AM.
There were sleep-deprived mistakes, that I didn't even like. I didn't know it was this bad until I went back to look at it after waking up.

If applications were based off how much people liked eachother, than Niko would be GRID DvL - no question about it, but it's not. So he isn't - Applications exist because it allows for people to see how you behave in a controlled and (mostly) civilised medium, your attitude not only on your own app, but Bushy Eyebrows is equally shameful

Your fault you did it at that time

Bushy is correct in saying that, because you're the one who made the choice of creating an application and if you were sleep-deprived, you have nobody else to blame but yourself, you could have slept and then thought about it after having woken up - But you didn't and you're paying the price for it now.

You can be as paranoid as you want, and if I really wanted to, I could do a lot worse than -1 an application based off the application itself, but I don't because it's not how it's supposed to be done. I've seen you RP a few times and I believe you're suitable for it, but changing the metaphorical stripes of your application is quite bad form.

Criticism and comments in applications are meant to help people. We aren't here to act childish, we are here to help. Not saying you guys are being childish I am just pointing it out, hopefully you don't take this comment the wrong way. Overall, I like Cpt. Ashe Hardings. I never had any problems with him, I think we should cut him some slake. I will go neutral since you did get kinda get offensive when your application was being criticized. Also there is nobody competing against you now. Maybe I'll make an application. Just kidding, I am not that good at techrp.

Edit: Also, let us stop the stupid spam posts. If you have something mean/personal to say, take it to pm/steam chat. Don't spam someones application.

After all the shit that has happened, he showed maturity and apologized. He seems to be very dedicate to the server, I re-read his application and talked with him privately. I'll +Support, also I liked his use of detail within the application.

I'll take criticism, but not from people that I do not respect. They lost their right to openly criticize me while I'm in the area when they started and joined in with this "Compression" bullshit and still are going on about it.
I'm working on changing my personality up, and have been for several weeks, but if people are gonna keep irritating me, they're really gonna impede my progress in becoming that sweet little honeybun that everyone wants me to be.

Ironically, the only person who has mentioned that so far in this thread was you.

I don't regret joining in on the joke and having a laugh and you can not respect me all you want, but at the end of the day, you don't have to like me to know that I'm right and you're not.

We're a community, we all respect each other's mistakes or accidents and sometimes we have a laugh about it. Leave it behind then eventually everyone else will.

I'm not talking about in the Forum. I'm talking about in the server and towards me in steam.
Joke about Compressions all you want, but keep it to yourself and leave me out of it, keep it on steam and not the server. I care about RP, and I'm dedicated to it like a two year old and an All-Day Lollipop.

RECOMMENDING SOME POOR BASTARD COUGH TACO COUGH COUGH TO REMOVE ALL THE IRRELEVANT/BICKERING POSTS IN THIS THREAD TO ENSURE THAT IT STAYS ON TOPIC.

I agree to Uno and Sinskitz's replies.

But I want this position because I wanna have some responsibility for a change, because I wanna lead even if there's no one following, because I wanna show that I can do what people don't believe I can because of how I've acted, because I believe I am capable of doing it, because I wanna be a role model, because I am like the #1 fan of Tech RP and technology in real life.

I don't even know what I just read. Help.
