Character Description
Gideon Squire is one of the characters I first made when I started playing SS13 on goonstation. In his ““lore”” he is working his way through different stations as a security officer looking for his sister Ava. Who was separated from the family at a young age and adopted by a family of three pug people(goonstation species). Although I myself don’t really roleplay with a personality in mind Gideon is normally friendly but has a cynical side that comes out when he is annoyed.
Your backstory is too low effort. We require backstories to be well-written and thought out. Please take time to improve your backstory and re-apply in two weeks.
It confuses me a lot that this application got denied, I didn’t think a backstory for an MRP server would require very much depth, seeing as the regular roleplay server doesn’t require anything of the sort. I also took a look at some accepted applications and there were multiple instances of backstories that were on par or even less in depth than what I gave.
Example of one of the whitelisted applications:
“An up and coming engineer. Looking to work his way up to atmo one day, and run the ship as efficient as possible. Still has a lot to learn but is dedicated to learning it.”
Could you tell me what my backstory was missing, or how I can improve it? Also is there someplace I can see the exact requirements? I looked around but I couldn’t find anything.
Initially I rejected this due to, what seems to me, an odd mix of IC and OOC phrasing. On a second look over the actual requirements, it does seem to just come down to three sentences and however the processing admin is feeling about it.
I’ve changed my mind and decided to whitelist you. Welcome to MRP.
