Age: 23 (and a half)
Gender: Male
Desired Position: Assistant
Experience
As a member on this site, my helpfulness has mostly been limited to answering questions on the Cbox whenever members or new people were in need of information. I've also been on this site since 2009, although my activity has been pretty intermittent until recently. Usually, I joined for about 6 months only to leave for 6 months due to school and University eating up at all of my activity (I had a hotmail account which was wiped, so my post count should be higher). I never applied for staff before because I knew I couldn't make staffing my main priority, but now that I'm graduated and working I have a lot more consistent time on my hands. The fact that I am only applying now after all this time should hopefully show how serious I am about this application.
Role-Play Experience and/or Event
As for other sites, I've been roleplaying for about 7-8 years across multiple different sites. Most of these were Proboards, but there were the occasional Zetaboards and Jcink sites. I prefer sticking to sites I really love (which was why I always returned to NFRP). 95% of the sites I roleplayed on tended to die out due to lack of interest from other members or staff/admins that just didn't have the time to run things, which is pretty unfortunate. NFRP is the first site I've been involved in that's been around for this long, so I am pretty motivated to help out.
In terms of useful roleplaying I have done here:
x2 Halloween Training Event
Building I created/wrote for Mo + more training
Quest to gain access to the panda summoning family
My first ATI quest for Hiraishin
I am also currently in a ATI being GM'd by Loki (paused at the moment because of the x2 event):
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
If needed, let me know if you need more proof of my RP experience. I can probably dig up a couple more threads from here and plenty more from other sites if required.
Additional Comments
Never had any warnings, punishments or C-box bans, so my record is clean. As for what I can offer, I know the rules really well and have read through a ton of the site's content a couple times. A few things here and there do confuse me such as how to perform certain rolls, but I am always willing to learn and always pick up on stuff really quickly. I also have experience doing some of the more complicated stuff on the site such as creating puppets (puppet 1, puppet 2, puppet 3, puppet 4), so it is safe to say that not much scares me away. I also have experience creating animal companions, herb finding, creating a stronghold and have taken part in several missions.
Overall, I have a ton of activity, am friendly (never made any enemies on here (yet!)) and noticed that most of the staff on here are based in the US. I'm from the UK, so I figured it would be nice for the European members if I was around to do some grading during the day while the rest of the staff are sleeping. The best areas I can probably help with would be grading training, puppets/AC and approving bios. I tend to read these things anyway for inspiration, so I thought I could make myself more useful by being able to give a grade by the end of it.
In terms of negatives, while I do log onto the site daily and am posting actively, I am still not using the C-box as much as I could be (and when I am everyone tends to be asleep). I plan to change this now that I have more time on my hands. As mentioned before, although I do know the rules in a lot of detail, I don't know them inside out. For the things I don't know, I can pick up on them fairly quickly. How quickly I transitioned from a total scrub on puppets to creating four of them should be proof of that.
Edit: Been helping quite a few new members out via PM. One of these members is still active and I am still helping him out here and there when things get confusing. If you want to know more, let me know and I'll ask for his permission to be mentioned in this application.
