Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:105327597
Discord name:
For how long have you played on CG SCP:
Age: 24
In what country are you located?: USA
Time zone: Pacific Standard Time, West Coast USA
Character name(s): Biz J. Wizbang
Civilian name: Penn Teller
What server are you applying for? (SCP-RP UK or SCP-RP USA): USA
Do you have a mic?: Yep
List all whitelisted, MTF, or CI roles that you hold or have held: Consultant (and specialist if that still counts)
Have you received any kicks/bans/warning? and why?:
Yep. Not proud of it, and I'll admit with full shame: I'm stubborn, not good with people sometimes, and I have a fat mouth when I think there's been an injustice, whether I'm right or not. I've met mods who power-tripped, had questionable situations where I wasn't aware of the specifics of a rule I broke, and I've also had situations where I plainly broke the rules and was punished for it.
They're all pretty minor cases and do not reflect who I truly am, even on my worst days.
Why are you applying for Executive Researcher?: Joined the specialist program, got hooked, and now I wanna do cool projects and improve the Research Department as a whole.
What makes you suitable for Executive Researcher?: I can write, I can research, and I can teach. I'm excellent at handling new people. I'm experienced in making projects (and what not to do when making them), and I'm creative with both my RP and in my research ideas. I think I could really spice up the department and improve it as a whole.
How many excellent-graded documents have you written? What makes a document excellent?: I don't really like getting my docs rated, but someone encouraged me to submit one I slapped together so he could personally grade it excellent.
What are the responsibilities of the Executive Researcher in RP?: Administration, Education, and Supervision of the research department and its fledgling members. They are also responsible for the delegation and/or management of any projects handed down from higher levels of leadership. Finally, they are responsible for the research of high-clearence anomalies contained at Site-65 and the development or refinement of containment protocols.
Please give some lore about your Executive Researcher character and what storylines they would be involved in: (This is still a WIP, so bear with me)

Biz J. Wizbang is the cognitive amalgamation of Consultant John "Papa" Schnatter and a currently unidentified reality bender, theorized to either be from a far future or another dimension, who went by the name Byzarius. This fusion was later discovered to be the result of thaumaturgical glyphs placed on the inside of the purple conical hat he now wears at all times. While these runes cannot be directly viewed without the removal of the hat and subsequent damage to the wearer's psyche, it can be estimated that these runes were part of some kind of consciousness transfer ritual, triggered when first wearing the anomaly. It's assumed to have been created by this "Byzarius" figure, but the original location where the anomaly was found is unknown. Removal of the hat has been attempted twice. Both times have resulted in life-threatening seizures. Reality anchors cannot penetrate the space inside the hat. The results of such an event are unknown, possibly resulting in even more life-threatening cognitive events.
This possession ritual was not immediate, however, nor was it restricted to the mind. Over the course of several months, John went from a towering 6'5, with the newfound ability to summon harmless pyrotechnic displays, to an estimated 5"4, with the capability to invoke Type-Blue level rituals and abilities. Over time, his knowledge and memories have been replaced with that of wizardry and fantasy nonsense from a world he doesn't know. For a while, Biz isolated himself from the rest of the site as he struggled with near schizophrenic like symptoms, spending his time reflecting on his new history and learning whatever he could of thaumaturgy to stop the progression or even reverse the effects of the anomalous conical hat now stuck to his head.
After a few months of research, Biz was finally able to create a web of runes on the hat that allowed him to control the progression, enabling him to replace life memories with previously unknown rituals, runes, and invocations, and vice versa, reversing the psychic infection over time. Trying to return memories he cannot remember has proven difficult, however. He covers these runes with yellow stars, claiming they "help improve morale". In reality, they just stop people from asking questions. One memory he cannot figure out is the "J." in his name, exhibiting characteristics as if he were recently amnesticated whenever asked what the "J." stands for, represents, means, or any similar line of questioning, entering a catatonic state for a few seconds before returning to a lucid state with approximately 5 minutes of recent memory lost.
After partially curing his condition, Biz returned to foundation life. However, his condition left gaps in his medical knowledge, leaving his skills lacking. Due to the various changes in his life, the gaps in his knowledge as a medical professional, newfound thaumaturgic abilities, and his work as a consultant affording him experience with anomalies and research as a whole, he was transferred to the research department and given the title of thaumatologist, where he quickly cultivated a deep understanding of ritualism and runecraft. Today he specialises in dimensional anomalies as well as thaumaturgy as a whole.
