Age: 16
Current Rank: Librarian/Chronicler
What you think is expected of this rank: I think its very obvious no one is perfect, and that shouldn't be the definition for any expectations of rank. However sentries are people who have shown to be able to make fair decisions and strive for, if not perfection, being a better person. They may not always be 100 percent non-toxic, but it is expected they avoid being toxic to new players and in the main chat. They know when to stop someone from continuing, and when to promote good ideas. They know the rules well and can answer most questions off the top of their head, or at least direct the questioner to the answer. They help prevent toxicity but don't spend their time hunting it down and ruining the game for whomever is being toxic.
Why I should be this rank: I know it may not seem like it, but it's been a long time since that younger jmeatball applied for Sentry. I was in a bad place then and felt unwanted and wanted to make others feel that way. Since then I've learned to mature and not to be so self-absorbed. I took some time away from the server to try out my luck elsewhere and I have seen both the bad and the good. Now I'm trying to be a member of the community again and rekindle former friendships. I was a toxic wreck before but now I want to at least try to change and better than I was before. I was biased and I did regrettable things for personal gain and for the a small laugh, and the further along I go the more I realise it was a bad idea and it was time to stop. I've tried not to act desperate like before and say anything that'll bring me attention. Although I betrayed my former friends and they may not call me friends anymore, I'm always willing to apologise.
I've learned from seperate servers to respect the rules and know what its like to have admins heavily against you and heavily with you, and I know its not a good feeling. I want to expand the Loka community and actually finish some projects and become a better member of society.
I realise that I had my other application thread deleted and it may have not been too responsible, but the responses from there fueled me to be a better person and a better Lokan. Now I just want to see others succeed and make Loka a little like it used to be back in "my days". As in next to no toxicity, full of politics and rp, and full of fun-loving people which Loka is already known for. I truly do want to show that I've changed and this is a way for me to do that, so I think I should be Sentry to add my hat into the Staff fray. I want to add some color and different perspective to the staff team. I want to add not only a younger perspective, but the perspective of someone who's been on both sides of the spectrum, from feeling lonely to feeling wanted. I want to recreate my group of friends and I want to be known for good things I've done the server and a friendly librarian rather than a toxic former Axis member. I just want to show that I've changed and add a new perspective to the staff team
