 * Name: AenMaps, although you may know me as Aen
 * Current position: Regular user
 * Applying position: Chat Moderator
 * Skype: Most people should know this, but my skype name is aendraas
 * Date joined community/Mapping: March 22nd 2015
 * Date joined wiki: March 26th 2015
 * Experience:
 * I said previously that I may not run, but if in the future I do leave, I want to have contributed significantly to the community that has given me so much. I have been in this community for over 2 years, and I have experienced many of its ups and downs. I have seen new users grow to become successful and retire, I have seen friendships form and disintegrate, and I have watched as this Wikia fell into a slow but steady decline. I, as an active user, have a duty to this wikia, but I want that duty to become part of my job as a Moderator.
 * I have actively contributed to the wikia over the past two years, especially in the map game sector. Arguably, map games are what has kept this wikia so active. Or at least a contributing factor. I have also consistently and frequently advertised the wikia on other sites and attempted to expand the userbase of the wikia.
 * I have spent 3 full years as a cadet in the Royal Air Force, which operated through my school. I used this experience to learn a variety of skills, including teamwork, leadership, and teaching. My time in the RAF has proved to be very successful.
 * I spent just under two years moderating a small private/public creative Minecraft server with some friends a couple years ago. After we merged with another server and made the server public, we had a lot of trolls and a few hackers too. During my time there, I was able to establish my skills as a moderator. Unfortunately, the server suffered from a DDoS attack, and after the event the server became largely inactive. The owner was forced to close the server after some time.
 * I am an active moderator on a number of Discord, Skype, and Google+ servers/chats/groups related to mapping, one of which is slowly becoming more and more successful, specifically the Guild of Mappers.
 * Describe yourself and what you will do in the community:
 * I'm a 16 year old British dude living in Birmingham with his whole life ahead of him. I have Indian ancestry, as my family is from Gujarat. I am currently in Sixth Form, and looking at Universities to go to. I am studying Mathematics, Geography, and Philosophy at A-level, and I am looking to do Human Geography at Cardiff University. I was introduced to mapping through the music, and from there I was introduced to the wikia.
 * I would describe myself as a very determined and highly motivated person. I do take my job seriously but I’m able to see things in perspective and believe I’m quite easy-going to work with. I’m an optimist rather than a pessimist – but I’m also a realist and I cope well when the going gets tough; I’m very good at finding solutions to problems. Above all, I would say I’m a positive and enthusiastic person – and I relish a challenge. I am a very outgoing and easygoing individual. You can ask anyone who knows me closely and they'll agree. I'm always happy to help people. I'm quite ambitious, and I always want to improve and expand the wikia in every way possible. I'm a team player, so I am always willing to work with and collaborate with others. With any project I start, I am motivated, methodical, and industrious. I put my all into anything I do.
 * I will always keep the chat safe from alt attacks, and I will make the chat a place for friendly discussion and not conflict. I will promote that chat and make sure it becomes more active. I strive for neutrality, and will not take any sides in any particular conflict. I will keep people from throwing themselves into conflicts, and make the chat much more friendly for people.
 * Have you misbehaved in the past? I have never been blocked or banned for any particular reason. I have been known to be immature and childish, although this in in April 2015. It has been two years since these isolated incidents and I assure you that this will not happen again. I have grown into a very mature and calm individual.
 * Referees: These individuals will vouch for my capability to become a respected member of staff. EthanKoenigsberg, Finn Mapper, KommunistKoala AP
 * Time available/active: Weekdays - 4PM to 10PM; Weekends - 11AM to 7PM. (All times are in Greenwich Meridian Time [+-0]/ British Summer Time [+1] [when applicable]). It is very easy to reach me, and I am usually available on a variety of different platforms. You can message me on the Wikia, Discord, Skype, Google Plus, Youtube, or Twitter. I will be as active as possible in chat.
