Since Github is hard for community members to access and pinned discord messages are easily lost in the chatter, I'm posting the development roadmap here for reference and comment. This will be updated periodically as ideas are added or changed and with more visibility it will be easier for developers to plan

Provide a brief description of your character:Isaac Riker is a tall albino man with dyed black hair.He was once a loyal ODST-sharpshooter, Isaac Riker is against his former employer, believing them to be a corrupt, police state. He finds the act they commited on Far Isle to be an act of pure evil. An evil which must be dealt with

Character(s):
 
Cassie Sarion – An Ex-ONI, turned Insurrectionist fighter. Harsh, yet fair.
 
Kiera Wilson – Young Insurrectionist Pilot. Rather bitchy.
 
Carrie Hartigan – Colonist, just trying to make a good living.
 
 
How does your character interact with the world around them and the people in it?: Cassie tends to keep a low profile, speaking briefly and quietly if she must. It does, truly depend who she speaks to that defines how she speaks to them.
 
Members of the United Nations Space command – Treated with great caution, and to always expect betrayal.
 
Orbital Drop Shock Troopers – Treated with a modicum of respect, typically a great threat, and should not be underestimated.
 
Members of the United Rebel Front – Treated with respect. Do well by them, they will do well by you.
 
United Rebel Front Commandos – Treated with a high level of respect. The elite.
 
Civilians – Treated fairly, never engaging in hostilities unless required.
 
Covenant – While unlikely to encounter them, she would treat them as respect – due to the clearly highly advanced technology. While, of course, remaining extremely wary of them.
 
Provide a brief description of your character:
 
Dark blue eyes, with long, but tied back hair. A heavily burnt face, due to her Pelican being shot down years before.
Typically quite friendly, though this is usually just a hoax, to lull people into a false sense of security. An old pair of tags hang around her neck, along with a ring, and an old ID, from her days with ONI. She’s harsh, too, if in command, but will always try to get her teammates out alive.
 
Do you understand that members of this whitelist are held to a higher standard of roleplay?: Of course.
 
Do you understand that if your behavior is deemed inappropriate you will be removed from the whitelist?: Of course.

Discord Name: Zergrush#9064

Character(s):
Giorno Desantis - Ex ODST Corpsmen, now an Insurrectionist Medic. Mainly Teaches newer players the ins and outs of medical. Really likes nutrition fries, after eating them so long.
Artyom Alekseyevich - Russian Comrade, with a heavy Russian accent. Constantly preaches and tells about the greatness of vodka and the old days of Stalin. Always seen wearing an Ushanka, most likely even in space. Helmets are for the weak compared to the comfy fur of a glorious Ushanka, da?
FuFuk - Low ranking and incredibly cowardly grunt, as to be expected. Will never go somewhere unknown (unless absolutely necessary) without a partner or two to rely on. Always in the back of the group. Wonders what the other species eat and if it is better then the glorious Nipple.
Horace Magnus - New Commando Character. Honor bound, looks for the greatest fights and challenges in life. Would rather fight fair then dirty. Addicted to Biofoam

How does your character interact with the world around them and the people in it?: Magnus does not care for the weak, unless they can provide or assist him, like doctors. He generally doesn't care to learn anything new about the world, unless it assists him with his hobbies. Magnus is most interested in the strong fighters, like ODSTs, who can give him the challenge he truly desires in life. The purpose of his life, challenge. 

Provide a brief description of your character: Horace Magnus is a tall, Outer Colony born man with a small collection of friends. He's somewhat introverted in everything but duty, which he attempts to accomplish to the best of his ability. Probably not the best at parties.

Do you understand that members of this whitelist are held to a higher standard of roleplay?: Of course, it's the reason I'm applying. We set the standard, and must maintain that standard for the rest of the innies to fall behind.

Do you understand that if your behavior is deemed inappropriate you will be removed from the whitelist?: Yes.

Do you understand that breaking a server rule can remove you from this whitelist permanently?: Of course. If I break the rules of the server, I should be expected to be removed and penalized for my action.

Character(s): David Law, Trafalgar Daniels, Jorah Helios, Joseph Giovanni

How does your character interact with the world around them and the people in it?: David Law, from previously being with the UNSC, is a neutral thinker, he no longer judges people based on their positions or titles, but instead from his own personal interactions with them. 

UNSC: Having been apart of the UNSC and interacting with them, he is opposed to them and the way they operate, but for the people within the UNSC, he does not hate most of them, excluding ODST's. Law operates ruthlessly against any Orbital Drop Shock Troopers on the field, going out of his way to target and capture them due to previous interactions.

United Rebel Front: Having fought against the URF against most of his adult life, he is familiar with the URF and previously despised them, however following his defection it seems he has turned a whole new leaf and instead supports the Insurrection/URF, and performs most tasks with a more military approach. He can however spark conflict between some people within the URF, due to his old way of thinking and approach.

Civilians: As a whole, Law does not go out of his to harm civilians, however is not above utilising them to reach whatever goal or task he is required to complete, he particularly dislikes those who are rich or powerful, who have not had to go through any sort of hard work throughout their lives as well as those who do not stand up for themselves.

Provide a brief description of your character: David Law is a man in his early thirties, with a dirty, messy shaved beard with brown hair, he is often seen as easy-going and is never seen very serious, however takes the death or harming of his teammates seriously when they do happen. Also has a strange obsession with slitting throats.

Do you understand that members of this whitelist are held to a higher standard of roleplay?: I understand this.

Do you understand that if your behavior is deemed inappropriate you will be removed from the whitelist?: I do and expect as such.

Do you understand that breaking a server rule can remove you from this whitelist permanently?: Indeed.

Timezone: GMT (UK)

Time in SS13: Would've been about four/five years now total. Can't remember the exact time.

Any SS13 Bans: Not that I remember.

Prior Moderation experience: Was an admin for LLA;s SS13 server back before it shut down, for somewhere around a year? Maybe less? This was a while ago so again the specific details are fuzzy.

Personally, I think the most important thing about moderating is: Making sure a round goes smoothly for as many people as possible, and understanding that people -do- make mistakes. Banning people for their first offence, in my opinion, is something I liked to avoid - bans are a punishment, and hopefully, the last resort if talking to a person and trying to teach them their error doesn't work. 

EDIT: Realised I put this in the wrong section, my bad.
