Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?:The honest answer is past experience. When I first joined CS back in 2010, I had no real idea what I was doing. I managed to trade away most of my pets soon after adopting them and was not able to get them back, and I couldn't use Oekaki very well, as I'd always used traditional art in the past. I wish someone could have been there to help me for those first few days- someone who could have been patient with me and helped me work out how uses the different forums and the Oekaki.
A few years have past since that time, though, and I'm now thriving within the wonderful world of the CS community! I have learned how to trade and trade fairly; I've learned how to use Oekaki, and I even have an
Oekaki CV of all the artist jobs I have had/currently have; I've learned how to put pictures into adoptables and roleplay application forms, including links to the original source(s) within the pictures or in separate text; I have participated and have owned some roleplays in the past, varying from semi-literate, one-liners to highly literate, more-than-one-paragraph roleplays; I've participated in a few forum games in the past. For some people, I've even designed basic tutorials and 'how-tos' for different aspects of CS and also held off-site streams of my Oekaki work, showing them my techniques (NB~ I use join.me for my streams, which is very secure and I have not experienced any security issues thus far).
If I could help to teach somebody how to do all these things and get the best out of CS, I would take them through all of the above in a step-by-step fashion, breaking them down into simple chunks if required. I have proven myself to be a polite, calm individual and enjoy working with everyone I have come across on CS so far, young or old. I'd be both overjoyed and honoured with the opportunity to assist someone on CS!
How often do you get on CS?:The honest answer is everyday- there are very few occasions where this is not the case (e.g. holidays). If this were the case, I'd let my newbie know as far in advance as possible, informing them of the exact times and dates of my absence.
Which categories would you like to apply for?:I believe I could be helpful in the following categories:
> General Knowledge
> Forums
> BB Code
> Roleplaying
> Trading and Pets
> Rarities (I look forward to my PM test, just to see how I do! ^u^ )

The male kept pace with the female, but lagged behind her slightly out of nerves. From previous experience, not all leaders looked kindly towards loners. Especially ones with such a lack of experience as he had. He wasn't a very accomplished fighter. Nor a hunter. The kind of individual most prides turned away, as he could prove a burden. None of the other prides had the resources to train him, or just simply didn't want to, and he'd been driven out of their territories on several occasions. Hopefully this pride would be different, but Lenka didn't know for sure. He knew he was naïve and he could get himself into trouble if caution was not exercised.
At least this female seemed pleasant, which boded well. She lacked the bitterness he'd seen in the other prides, so maybe he could fit in.
"Thank you!" he chuffed in response to her first statement, smiling politely. His limbs quivered with excitement as they moved deeper into the territory. One step closer. When she asked him for his name, his playful grin returned.
"Oh, sorry! Wasn't very polite of me to not introduce myself!" He nodded his head politely, before continuing.
"The name's Lenka. Might I ask you for your name, ma'am?" He thought maybe addressing her in polite terms might mean he wouldn't get his tail ripped off just yet.
How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?:It varies depending on my workload, the average amount of time being two-three hours. There may be rare instances where I might not be able to make it on for that long, but if this was the case, I'd let my newbie know in advance as much as possible.
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?:Yes, I do. It's very important to me to leave people with a good impression of myself, so I will be as polite and as helpful as I possibly can.
Thank you for the opportunity to apply!
