Why are you applying for Director of Research?
I’ve developed kind of a strong pull toward RSD lately, it’s been sitting in my head for a while actually, and I’d really like to take a step forward, maybe a big one. When I was watching and sometimes joining the research activities, I kept thinking—like really thinking—about how I could do more, not just for myself but for the department too, to make things smoother or maybe more alive for everyone else who’s part of it. Sometimes I overthink it, but that’s okay. That’s more than okay, actually.
One thing that’s been poking at me is how the top researchers, the ones with all the experience, rarely run tests on the higher-tier SCPs like SCP-008 and others of that kind. It feels like a missed door. Because of that, I think there’s space, or maybe a gap, to pull more focus toward those SCPs, to make them less of a quiet corner. If I got accepted, I’d want to push for more testing and research on those high-level ones but still keep it safe and not chaotic, you know, like organized but not stiff.
I’d want to set up experiments that are structured but not too rigid, something that makes other researchers and staff want to join in. If more people get involved and the testing feels like an event rather than a task, the sessions could turn more engaging, maybe even fun. It could also help connect departments that don’t usually talk much during those higher-level tests.
And beyond the research itself, I think this could make the roleplay side richer, more immersive. Testing high-tier SCPs brings weird, exciting moments—problem-solving, teamwork, quick choices. I’d try to shape those into good scenarios that keep everyone enjoying it.
In the end, I just want to give more to RSD, to make the high-level research feel alive again. My interest and effort, I think, could help make that happen.
What makes you suitable for Director of Research?:
I believe I am well-suited for this role because of how I manage my time and, honestly, how much I just stay around. I’m usually online for long hours, sometimes too long actually, which means I can respond fast and stay involved when things happen. I try to keep a mix between being professional and just being a normal person, you know, not robotic. I can be serious when it’s needed but I also like to make people laugh a bit or ease the mood when things get too stiff. Sometimes humor works better than rules, though not always, I guess.
I’ve made pretty good connections with a lot of the foundation staff, and I think people see me as reliable, or at least not annoying. Working with others is something I really enjoy, even when it gets messy or confusing. I think teamwork only works when people actually like being there together, not just doing tasks. I can take jokes, even bad ones, and I know when to throw one in myself though sometimes the timing goes weird but that’s fine.
More than anything, I try to do my job properly, or at least with full energy. My excitement for this position keeps me pushing to do better, maybe too much sometimes. I take my duties seriously and want to help the team succeed, even if that means staying up late or redoing things twice. I think my attitude and work drive will actually show through in the long run.
I’m honestly just excited to join in and prove that I can do this well.
What are the responsibilities of the Director of Research in RP?:
The Director of Research in RP carries a strange mix of duties, some big and loud, others quiet but heavy. They stand as one of the main faces of the department, working side by side with the other director to set rules that sometimes feel more like guidelines, to manage executives who may or may not listen, and to stay involved in RP work itself. Much of the time the Director ends up helping both senior and junior staff with things that don’t really fit anywhere, problems that slip between the cracks of normal executive work and still somehow matter a lot.
some of the Director’s work isn’t really seen by most people in the department, but it keeps everything from falling apart. They move between the front stage and the background, trying to keep the Research and Development team alive and working whether everyone’s in the office or scattered somewhere else. This mix of being visible and invisible, it’s what keeps the place running smooth or at least mostly smooth.
In the end the Director’s job is a kind of puzzle of leadership and fixing things, keeping the department steady while also letting it change and stretch. The visible part and the hidden part they depend on each other, that’s what makes RSD stay moving and not get stuck.
Please give some lore about your Director of Research character and what storylines they would be involved in:
Name: Tony 'poguke' Mohammed
Age: 25
Height: 176 cm
Weight: 85 Kg
Tony has been kind of pushed, or maybe pulled, by this strange work energy since he was a kid, like he couldn’t stop even if he wanted to. He used to get perfect scores, almost annoyingly perfect, in nearly every test he took, and people said it was discipline but it was more like obsession maybe. Everyone knew him for that—his stubborn focus, his endless hours buried in science notes and experiments that sometimes didn’t even make sense. When the SCP Foundation came calling, offering him a job studying weird creatures and objects, he thought it’d just be the same thing but with better pay. It wasn’t. It was stranger, heavier, and somehow more alive than anything he’d done before, and he didn’t quite expect that.
After four years of stumbling and learning and not sleeping enough, Tony climbed the ladder—Junior Researcher, then Researcher, then Senior, though the titles never really meant rest. People noticed him, or maybe they noticed his results, and soon he was told to join the Department of Research. He said yes without thinking twice, maybe out of excitement or maybe just habit.
Now he stands somewhere between ambition and exhaustion, still trying to prove something he can’t quite name. The future’s blurry, but he keeps walking, keeps rewriting what “success” even means.
