Have you received any kicks/bans/warning? and why?:

  • I received a fail rp and fear rp for breaking into the foundation as a chef and running from MTF
  • And an RDM for shooting a technician
Why are you applying for Site Advisor?

I have been on the server for a while, and I have always enjoyed the more administrative part of playing on the server. What I like about it is being able to be more involved in the foundation as a whole. It brings me joy to be able to help as many people as I can, and becoming a site advisor would allow me to better do that.




What makes you suitable for Site Administration?:



I have a good amount of experience with leadership positions. I have been an Exec Researcher for a while, and I am very active as an Overseer Assistant. I have experience with OA on how proper documentation is supposed to look like, the amount of time that must be spent working on objectives in the background (a.k.a doing paperwork), and having meetings with different departments. I also know that it takes a lot of time to be a SA, and I am fully willing to put in that time. I will be able to do so because I will be out of school in 6 days, giving me much more time to dedicate to the server.




What are the responsibilities of Site Administration in RP?:

Their job is to deal with the bigger matters of the Foundation while still making sure to take care of the little things. As a SA, you should be interacting with members from different departments to ensure there are no underlying problems or bigger issues that are not being communicated to SA. You work with other department directors to ensure the betterment of their respective departments, whether it's approving a new policy or providing advice on improving understanding and acceptance of their policies. Another part of being an SA is dealing with issues that can threaten the site itself. This includes making decisions such as allowing a certain rank and above or all MTF to use AA during a breach or coordinating efforts to handle a CI raid by collaborating with multiple departments to ensure effective resolution while keeping non-combative departments safe. Overall, being an SA is a significant responsibility that must be held with the utmost respect. It requires making smart decisions, working well with other departments, and ensuring everything is done for the betterment of the Foundation. It's important to remember that being an SA does not grant all-powerful authority. Your role is to ensure the safety and order of all staff members, rather than seeking to be "god-like."




Please give some lore about your Site Administration character and what storylines they would be involved in:



Executive Researcher Jonathan Thornley had always been fascinated by the anomalous. Ever since he was a young boy, he had been captivated by stories of strange creatures and unexplained phenomena. As he grew older, he became determined to learn as much as he could about these anomalies and to use his knowledge to help contain them and protect the world from their dangerous effects. Over the years, Thornley had built up an impressive resume within the Foundation, gaining a reputation as one of the most skilled and knowledgeable researchers in the field of anomalous biology and containment procedures. He had been involved in the containment of numerous dangerous entities and had earned the respect and admiration of his colleagues for his courage and expertise. However, Thornley had never encountered an entity quite like SCP-2285. When the breach occurred, Thornley and his team were called upon to re-contain the entity before it could cause any more damage. As they approached SCP-2285's containment cell, Thornley could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He knew that this was going to be a difficult and dangerous mission. Despite his fear, Thornley was able to keep a level head and use his knowledge of SCP-2285's abilities to help guide his team through the encounter. However, as he was backing away from the creature, he tripped and fell onto a pile of wooden debris. In that moment of panic, Thornley reached out to steady himself, and inadvertently made contact with the wooden material. The effects of SCP-2285's anomalous properties were almost immediate. Thornley could feel his skin turning soft and pliable, like the very wood he had touched. At first, he thought he was imagining things, but as the transformation continued, he knew that something was very wrong. After the breach was contained and Thornley received medical attention, it became clear that the anomalous properties of SCP-2285 had somehow transferred to him through his contact with the wooden debris. His colleagues were shocked and saddened by his transformation, but Thornley refused to let it stop him from continuing his work as an Executive Researcher at the Foundation. Despite his incredible adaptability and determination, Thornley struggled with the physical and psychological effects of his encounter with SCP-2285. He found it increasingly difficult to interact with his colleagues, who had trouble relating to his new form. As time went on, Thornley became more withdrawn and isolated, focusing solely on his work and the entities he was studying. Today, Executive Researcher Thornley serves as a constant reminder of the dangers of working with anomalous entities and the unpredictable consequences that can arise from even a brief encounter. Though his colleagues still admire him for his courage and dedication, they cannot help but feel a sense of sadness and loss for the man he once was. Nevertheless, Thornley remains determined to use his unique abilities to help contain the anomalous and protect the world from its dangers. One day, while attending a conference on anomalous phenomena, Jonathan was approached by a member of the SCP Foundation's O5 Council. The council member had been impressed by Jonathan's work and offered him a job researching a new lead into some information about SCPs. Jonathan jumped at the opportunity, eager to delve deeper into the world of anomalous phenomena and to work with the SCP Foundation. He threw himself into his work, spending long hours poring over documents, interviewing witnesses, and conducting experiments. As he continued his research, Jonathan became increasingly fascinated by the SCPs themselves and the complex system of containment and classification that the Foundation had developed to deal with them. He was particularly intrigued by the role of the Overseers, the highest-ranking members of the Foundation who were responsible for overseeing all aspects of the organization's operations. Driven by his curiosity and his desire to learn more, Jonathan began working closely with the Overseers, providing them with valuable insights and research that helped to inform their decisions. Over time, he developed a deep understanding of the SCP Foundation and its inner workings, and he gradually worked his way into becoming an Overseer Assistant. As an Overseer Assistant, Jonathan was responsible for providing support to the Overseers in managing and facilitating the Foundation's operations. He used his knowledge and expertise to help ensure that the Foundation ran smoothly and that all SCPs were properly contained and classified. He also continued to conduct his own research, always looking for new insights and information that could help the Foundation to better understand and manage the anomalous phenomena in its care. Despite the many dangers and challenges of his work, Jonathan loved his job as an Executive Researcher and Overseer Assistant. He felt that he was part of something truly important and meaningful, and he was proud to be working with some of the most brilliant and dedicated researchers in the world. For Jonathan, there was no greater thrill than the thrill of discovery, and he was always eager to uncover new secrets and unlock new mysteries in the world of the SCP Foundation. As time went on, Jonathan's reputation within the Foundation continued to grow. His colleagues respected him for his dedication, knowledge, and willingness to take risks in pursuit of new information. It was not long before he was offered the position of Director of Research, a prestigious and important role that would put him in charge of overseeing all of the Foundation's research efforts. Jonathan was thrilled at the opportunity to take on this new challenge. He knew that the job would be difficult and demanding, but he was confident in his abilities and eager to make a difference. As Director of Research, Jonathan was responsible for managing a team of researchers and overseeing all aspects of the Foundation's research programs. He worked closely with the other members of the Foundation's leadership team to ensure that all research was conducted in a safe, responsible, and ethical manner, and he was constantly seeking new ways to improve the Foundation's knowledge and understanding of anomalous phenomena. Under Jonathan's leadership, the Foundation's research programs flourished. His team of researchers made groundbreaking discoveries and developed new containment procedures that helped to keep the world safe from dangerous anomalies. Jonathan's own research continued to be a driving force within the Foundation, and his insights and discoveries helped to shape the way that the Foundation approached the study and containment of SCPs. Despite the many challenges he faced as Director of Research, Jonathan never lost sight of the importance of his work. He knew that the dangers of the anomalous world were real and ever-present, and he was determined to use his knowledge and expertise to help protect the world from their effects. As Director of Research, he was able to do just that, and his contributions to the Foundation will be remembered and celebrated for many years to come. Jonathan Thornley had spent countless years as an overseer assistant, diligently supporting and collaborating with the site command on various challenging projects. His unwavering commitment and remarkable problem-solving skills had not gone unnoticed. It was evident to everyone within the organization that Jonathan was a valuable asset. Recognizing his exceptional abilities and deep understanding of anomalous phenomena, the Foundation offered Jonathan a new role as a Site Advisor. This promotion came as a result of his extensive experience and his proven track record of successfully handling complex containment operations. Jonathan eagerly accepted the opportunity, excited to take on new responsibilities and contribute to the Foundation in a greater capacity. As a Site Advisor, Jonathan's expertise was sought after by sites across the Foundation's vast network. He traveled extensively, visiting different facilities and collaborating with site personnel on containment procedures, anomaly research, and threat assessments. His presence brought a sense of confidence and assurance to the teams he worked with, and his valuable insights helped to optimize containment protocols and enhance overall security measures. Jonathan's exceptional problem-solving skills and deep knowledge of anomalous entities made him a valuable resource during critical situations. Whenever a particularly challenging anomaly surfaced or a breach occurred, site directors would often request Jonathan's presence to provide guidance and strategic input. His ability to assess risks, devise effective containment strategies, and make informed decisions in high-pressure situations proved invaluable to site operations. Furthermore, Jonathan actively mentored and trained new overseer assistants, passing on his expertise and ensuring that the next generation of Foundation personnel were well-prepared to handle the complexities of their roles. His guidance and mentorship had a profound impact on the development and success of many promising individuals within the organization. Over time, Jonathan's contributions as a Site Advisor garnered widespread recognition, not only within the Foundation but also among the global community of anomalous research and containment organizations.
