Ckey: CaelumZ

Discord name: Caelum #4345

In-character name: Ros 'Vratai, Special-Operations Sanghelli 

General Character info: Ros 'Vratai was born to a line of Noble Warriors and well respected lineage. From the day he hatched, plans were set in motion for him to be something great, something better. As typical for his kind, he was born not knowing his Father- A respectable swordsman and Zealot. Instead, he was raised as others were- Working his way up the ladder. Despite knowing nothing of his father, he did know that he was born for something more. He always saw steps before him- More and more stairs to climb. Never a top to be reached. And as so, he worked his hardest, day in and day out, to become the greatest he could ever be.

He bore fruit when he grew, and quickly scanned through the ranks, making his way up to Major before he was called upon by the Special Operations Group, Silent Shadow. From there, his careed stayed as a Special-Operations Sanghelli, taking care with his mission assignments.

Personality wise, he is a bit of a lone wolf. Though he shows great bonds and kinsminship with his allies, he works best when partied up with only one other person, or alone. He has a certain respect for Unggoy compared to his brothers and sisters, seeing many of them as compelling warriors, and a great respect for the Huragok, and some part of him does want to one day have a proper conversation with one- Even if it seems decently impossible. He respects work ethic and strong morals, and has a great pride in his job and what he does- And an unwavering conviction on the battlefield.

Reason for joining : I don't really like how I'm treated in the UNSC. I feel like its a negative experience and it's no longer fun for me. I know the Covenant like to have fun, and while structured, they aren't so anal about things and don't mock eachother for their performances. 

Plus, I really like playing Covenant. I'd really like to have fun there, and I love RPing with the Covenant players, who are all thrilling and interesting to RP with! <3

Roleplay Example/History: Was ODST.

Who were you banned by: probably the host

Date of ban: not sure -- server's not on the hub. 

Length of ban: permanent

Full ban reason: not sure -- server's not on the hub. probably general shittery, garbage behavior, being a general cancer on the ss13 community, etcetera. there is no atoning for being the shitter i'm known as

Appeal details/ Why should you be unbanned: i do not think i should be unbanned for any reason other than that i have become a vastly less terrible version of myself. i have been told that i once "rocked the ss13 community". this is not a good thing -- it was a shitty period in my life where long hours bingeing ss13 while barely supporting my rent with my now-fiance bred a certain kind of shittery that i couldn't contain. i regret this juvenile state of being. i am now in the Air Force and consider myself a much more mature individual -- i've maintained a good presence on Bad Deathclaw, where i'm now being considered for adminship, and I am an active contributor to john oxford's TES13 project. that is all i can offer.

Timeline:
5/26/2019 - ~9:00PM, join HSE server as URF character Calvin Kulevar.
5/26/2019 - ~1000PM, UNSC faction conducts unannounced raid of URF Thorn.
5/26/2019 - ~1015PM, Garth Pawolski, a ranking officer, spotted engaging URF forces on Thron with a M41 SSR launcher. Hits Kulevar, taken out of round due to splash damage.
5/27/2019 - ~12:30AM, same round. G. Pawolski and other UNSC faction characters leave Bertels en masse via life boats. By now, Streltsy has respawned as ONI guard Tyrannius Burian.
5/27/2019- 12:30AM-1AM, UNSC faction characters are repeatedly denied access to ONI VT9 base. See Screenshot 0.5.
5/27/2019 - ~1AM, UNSC faction characters found in ONI base after shutters closed. The three guards move in and are demanded to surrender IMMEDIATELY UPON SITE. See screenshot 2.5. Notice that ONI Guard Sceemer was hit despite despite not firing his weapon.
5/27/2019 - 1AM-1:30AM UNSC faction - specifically G. Pawolski - proceeds to fire rockets from an M41 SSR launcher, along with small arms fire, and heavy arms at ONI forces immediately after demanding surrender. No responses given, no time given. See Screenshots 3-5.
5/27/2019 ~1:30AM. IC options exhausted, Streltsy logs Admin complaint. See Screenshot 6.

Summary:
G. Pawolski was encountered on two occasions sporting heavy weapons in a meta-gaming way. An M41 SSR launcher was used for close quarters combat because, as was quoted in Discord's Halostation server - "I mean yeah I use the rocket launcher I'm not saying it isn't busted (5/26/2017 10:31PM)" and "no big secret its stupid good (5/26/2019 10:31PM)." This was not once but twice, on two separate occasions (~1015PM 10/26/2019 and ~1:15AM 10/27/2019). Rockets were carried solely for the purpose of being 'busted' in the terms of IC damage with no other IC reason noted - no antitank purposes, no designs for antiair. This was not against heavily armored targets. This was not against covenant forces. This was against - one (1) URF regular and one (1) ONI security guard. According to the player's paraphrased reasons, it was solely for the purpose of metagaming - using overbearing weaponry known to knock players out of the round without IC justification purely to win an engagement. Therefore, I move to have the player momentarily blacklisted from UNSC roles. I won't ask for a ban but I want some punishment for using blatant, LRP metagaming to 'win the game' against other players trying to enjoy a roleplaying experience. This is poor sportsmanship, poor play style, and poor conduct.

Until appeal

Full ban reason: 
Shot an ONI guard as Marine with a bs reason

Appeal details/ Why should you be unbanned: 
Round was pretty unorthodox, with the whole prisoner towel beating incident, the unintentional friendly-fire incident that led to a marine's death, and the subsequent announcement of an inspection team coming to the Bertels. That last event in the round sparked a fun, hectic situation where we tried to clean up all evidence of war crimes and any other illegal happenings of the ship. This culminated with the sending off of an escape pod consisting of said evidence, including the crewman that accidentally killed a marine, to where-ever using an escape pod until the inspection team arrived.

Afterwards, the inspection team came, and upon talking to the prisoners, most of the marines on the Bertels decided to bolt out of fear that the inspection team would find evidence of our war crimes and, in response, punish us. I entered an escape pod with a few other marines and we landed on VT9. We were met immediately with hostility by the gate guards at the ONI complex, and realizing we had nowhere else to go we just ran around until we found another marine holed up in VT9's telecomms building. Some point after we ran off from the guards, there was an announcement that lethal force against us was authorized and the marines from the Bertels were charged with treason. Given how everything played out, we thought it appropriate to take control of the ONI base so we had a source of shelter while hiding from the UNSC hunting us down. This included a few other marines that managed to find their way to the building, and we made our way into the ONI base. Upon contact with one of the guards, we did not kill them or shoot them immediately. We told them to stand down and RP'd the situation. They did stand down, so we stripped them of their headset and cuffed them immediately.

After securing the first underground level of the ONI base, we made our way to the surface, and after securing most of the base, I came into contact with two other ONI guards with Garth Pawolski and we tried to tell them to stand down. However, one of the guards primed a grenade and opened the door, presumably to throw said grenade into the corridor we were in, so we opened fire on that guard and tried to push out. I'll admit that I fired one slug at the other guard, who (I think) was trying to recover their friend shot by a rocket. However, me and another marine, Sam Greene, yelled "STAND DOWN" and "SURRENDER" at them to ask them to drop their weapons and rest for capture and healing. They failed to comply, and assuming that meant they were going to remain hostile, we attacked them in the ONI base hangar and captured them afterwards for healing by a medic, Sam Clark. Given how the round played out, I thought this assault was appropriate and we were not aiming to permakill the ONI, just capture them so we could ensure safe haven in the facility. A PM while we were breaking through the numerous layers of doors would have sufficed to stop the assault.

However, I understand that we broke ROE with this blue-on-blue action. We should not have attacked the ONI base, even with the special circumstances of the round. I'll refrain from doing this stupid stuff in the future.

Date of ban:5/27/2019

Length of ban: "Until Appeal"

Full ban reason: "Attacking the ONI with a bs reason"

Appeal details/ Why should you be unbanned: The marines on the Bertels landed on the ONI planet after some sort of review. The ONI members we're pretty hostile so we hunkered down in the telecomms area. After a while some more marines arrived and they told us one of our marines was shot by an ONI guard. This spurred already rising tensions so the marines all agreed to move into the base. We proceeded into it from the Telecomms area and stumbled upon an ONI guard. We promptly took them prisoner without a shot fired as we weren't looking to kill anyone. We then locked the base area down so the ONI won't rush us. A command announcement drop'd saying the marines of the bertels we're found "Guilty and lethal force is authorized" At this point most of the Marines are exploring while Garth and Lother are up top. I get word that ONI is attacking and firing on us so i head up with an SRS. I scope in and see an ONI turn the corner and open fire on Garth while Garth fires back with a Rocket Launcher. The other ONI member grabs his comrade and drags him back as the three of us ask them to surrender over and over. They move out and we pursue. I put a single round into the ONI and they drop as we immediately start calling for our Marine medics to move in and we try to save these guys. I use some Biofoam on the one i shot while he complains in LOOC. The medic's too far away so we start grab both of them and move them to the medic who starts healing them. I believe this was a just IC reason for the marines to do what they did as the ONI had admin approval to attack us.

Who were you banned by: bloxgate


Date of ban: 27/05/2019

Length of ban: Until appeal

Full ban reason: Shot an ONI guard as Marine

Appeal details/ Why should you be unbanned: I can virtually guarantee this issue was not investigated, as the ONI personnel in question had been given multiple opportunities to stand down, and continued hostilities before I had even attempted to shoot at them. In my eyes this was a justified conflict, and I don't understand why a staff member decided to step in and take control of the situation. I'm also unsure of why blox felt it necessary to simply skip straight to banning me, instead of asking me about the issue, or even explaining to me what I did was wrong.

For further context as to why me and numerous other marines in the round would even consider attacking ONI personnel, we'd broken multiple ROE's during the round due to going a little overboard with our assaults, and ended up being investigated by an ERT. The marines took the chance to evacuate the Bertels entirely due to knowing they'd most certainly be found out for their crimes, some of us landed on VT9 and were met with immediate hostility from ONI security, some of us even being shot at. We had no shuttle, no allies and nowhere to go so we used the comms relay tunnel to launch a surprise raid on the base, in an attempt to secure a living space and supplies. We gave all base personnel an opportunity to surrender without fighting and one guard did, the others we took down that did not comply were not executed and kept alive as captives. I feel the entire scenario was roleplayed out sufficiently and that admins on at the time had ample ability to stop us before before things got to be what they considered 'out of hand'.

I'd also like to petition for the unbanning of the other marines related to this incident, as none of them acted any differently to how I did, and feel they too have been wrongly banned.

Who were you banned by: thegreytide, yet PantasTheDank was the one who initially began talking to me about this.

Date of ban: 5/26/2019

Length of ban: Until Appeal

Full ban reason: "low rp,racisim, tryed to rule laywer, being hevily toxic" (Copypasted from the actual ban screen.) But in reality, the reasoning behind the ban will be explained in my appeal. 

Appeal details/ Why should you be unbanned:  Because I've done nothing to instigate such a reaction out of Pantas. I've got no idea why he didn't ban me himself, but I feel like the ban was more biased and politically motivated. I'm absolutely new to the server, and as I stated in my initial attempt to talk to Pantas, I did my best to roleplay as my charcater without causing discomfort to players and/or staff. I've been in more than a single sit, I've played more than one round, yet only Pantas seemed to have an issue with the way my character was roleplayed. He can't claim it was a low roleplay character, because I've barely had any interraction with other players due to him being alone most of the time, and the only interraction he did have was during the round he got banned, was him taking the piss of some other asian dude who spoke fake chinese over eband. 

I NEVER tried to rule lawyer, I just said what my opinion was to Pantas himself, because the way he handled the sit was outrageous, he completely ignored the points I was trying to make, constantly claiming racism and stalking me through his admin powers as I killed some random cat because it kept on pushing me off my seat while I was trying to buckle myself to a chair. (A cat I then dragged to medbay and thought I could revive with the defib, but failed cause it only works on human players.) I was alone on the civilian cruiser, and didn't hurt anyone in-game other than that cat. Was I in the wrong for killing the cat? Sure, but it was In-character. Did I report that other dude that talked like a generic asian over eband? No, I just took it IC and parodied him. There's numerous people who aren't even asian or black, yet they play characters from all corners of the world and talk with "accents".
