Why are you applying for Site Advisor?
I am applying for the position of Site Advisor because I want to continue to assist the state of roleplay for the player base on a meaningful level. I spent a considerably long time (300+) days in Site Command doing so in addition to my role on the GM team. But I never ventured into specific work that Site Administration does so far as administrative level management of certain departments. Not since my position as Director of Research have I worked in a role very much like Site Advisor and I would love to revisit the concept. Not just to revisit the concept itself but to try something that I haven’t done before in Foundation leadership. I was actually keen on joining Site Administration even as far back as Executive Researcher but I simply took a different path and I would like to reconsider my options following the recent character death of Randal Murphy and continue to help lead the Foundation in any way that I can. I believe that my help in Site Administration would make a positive impact and for these reasons I apply for a position as Site Advisor in Site-65.


What makes you suitable for Site Administration?:
I am suitable for the position of Site Advisor for 3 main reasons:

Experience: Obviously the largest incentive for the acceptance of my application, my experience in Foundation leadership so far knows little limit. Having led both parties of Site Command in my tenure I am well versed already in SA+ concepts including but are not limited to: running of the site during code emergencies, tribunals and Foundation legal codes, leadership of departments/regiments, management of SrCL4/CL4 positions, well-thought-out roleplay decision making, and and the maintaining of the complicated SC relationship intertwined with SA. My time as Director makes me an asset in the management and running of departments, my time as Ethics makes me an asset in the understanding of in-character Foundation law, and my time as O5 makes me an asset in Foundation Faction administrative action.

Roleplay: Put simply, I understand SCP lore very well, and can apply concepts of Foundation lore to RP circumstances. I would consider myself to be above average in the skill of playing a character both due to experience in character and my experience as a GM that compounds that fact. I am adept in many aspects of roleplay on the server and would continue to RP to the best of my ability in any position I acquire.

Writing Capability: Since the beginning of my time playing seriously on the Foundation Faction, one of the biggest strong suits I have maintained is my excellent ability to write. With 20+ excellent documents from my time in research, many hours reviewing and revising Foundation Law, and from my writing of plans for events as a Gamemaster, my writing skill has certainly surpassed the requirements required to become a member of Site Administration. This writing skill also enhances my ability to communicate effectively using the English language.


What are the responsibilities of Site Administration in RP?:

The responsibilities of a Site Advisor include but are not limited to:
-Monthly reviews for assigned departments
-Leading of the Site through certain emergencies
-Management of departments in the inability of their regular leadership
-Solving base level administrative problems for departments/regiments
-Maintaining communication between themselves and Department leads
-Voting on certain SrCL4 positions
-Voting on site policy change
-Maintaining communication inter-site administration
-Management of GOI relations (along with newly assigned management of DEA)

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

Randal Joey Deere was born on a farm in Northern Oklahoma in 19– to two farmers. Deere was by all definitions an average kid. His life from that point on consisted of very few events of note until J. Deere was at the age of 17. When Deere was 17 the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 occurred. Two weeks later, Deere turned 18 and, against the wishes of his parents, Enlisted in the military as an army artilleryman on a 4 year contract. When he graduated from high school that August, RJD was shipped off to basic training down in Georgia and shortly afterwards received his AIT in Alabama where he learnt to use the equipment he would go on to use in the Middle East for the next 3 ½ years.

2 weeks later…
Randal woke up to the sound of his alarm, quickly dressed and shaved, then lined up in formation outside of the barracks. His company commander, Captain Fetterson, informed all of the men, “Gentlemen, you’ve got 3 hours until wheels up”. To which the men erupted in celebration, they had already known they had been going to deploy that chilly January of 2002, but were placed into a queue because naval assets were unable to transport them abroad due to a number of delays. The day had finally come, and they were elated, after all, Deere and Charlie company had spent the last 6 months hyping themselves up for the event. They were going to take 2 transport planes to the nearest carrier and sail across the Atlantic to where they would arrive in Afghanistan and begin combat operations.

4 years later…
Randal J. Deere and Charlie company had been on the road for 3 days along with the men from Easy company. They had finally reached their destination and Charlie company set up 3 155mm howitzers the trucks of the convoy had been carrying. Easy Company then loaded up and continued down the road. All was quiet for 20 minutes, then the radio operator sitting in the middle of the three guns began to clutch his headphones and rapidly scurry to write a number of coordinates down on a sheet of paper. Randal could swear he heard the gunshots and screaming through the radio operator’s headphones as every man around him went dead silent trying to eagerly listen. Captain Fetterson, looking over the radio operator’s shoulder, waited for him to finish writing before snatching the paper and bellowing out, “GRID 55.129, GRID 56.129, GRID 51.120!” Immediately the air filled with action, as men rushed to open the break of each gun and jam their round into the barrel as fast as they possibly could. Each round was followed by 2 bags of gunpowder and the break was shut. Quickly “Blaze 1 ready!” through “Blaze 3 ready!” rung out through the air as the men stood waiting for a command to fire. Captain Fetterson shouted as loud as he possibly could, “Open fire!” as the earth around him begun to shake while the sound of each howitzer firing ripped through the previously still air with ferocious intent on every man’s ears. This continued for what seemed like forever, the radio operator wrote something down, the company commander told the men the coordinates and waited for them to reload before hollering out the command to fire. Eventually, the cycle ended when the radio operator took off his headphones, and Captain Fetterson along with the company took a breather. It wasn’t until night that another explosion was heard at the makeshift artillery battery.

Randal woke from his sleep to the sound of explosions, “could this be the squad operating the gun without me?” he thought to himself as his question was answered by the shout of the Company Commander, “Contact East!” Randal along with the men in bravo fireteam in their foxhole scurried to dawn helmets and to ready weapons before bolting up out of the hole and to the trench that was dug on the eastern side of the position. Randal and the men of his company unloaded their weapons on the enemy force as it creeped closer over time to the trench from rock to rock. It felt like an eternity as the sounds of gunshots and the tracers from automatic rifles engulfed the night. At some point the men of Charlie company began to lose the fight. All of a sudden men began to drop all around Randal, his fireteam leader was hit in the chest at least twice, the radio operator was shot in the head as Randal watched the bullet rip through the man’s helmet and out of the other side, and even Captain Fetterson must’ve taken a round somewhere in the mess of a battle that became closer and closer in the distance it was being fought. Randal looks behind him at the shout of one of his fellow soldiers and feels a sharp pain rip through his side as he falls down to the ground. The man next to him shoots the insurgent and runs over to check on Randal, who is bleeding badly but claims he will survive if given medical attention soon enough. The man helps Randal up before getting shot himself multiple times in the back. One of the rounds exits through the man’s neck and grazes the head of Randal. Everything freezes as one terrified thought fills Randal J. Deere’s head, “oh god, I need to get out of here”.

Randal wakes up. He had another nightmare. He was only 1 year out of the army and struggling to cope with what he experienced in the Middle East during combat. He had a dead end office job working for a shipping company in management of different cargo manifests. He never got to leave the office and inspect shipments himself, he only processed reports and filed data collected by other people into computer systems that felt older than he was. One day a letter came in the mail, hand delivered by a mailman who Randal was not familiar with. The letter was labeled “classified, eyes only”. Randal, curious, ripped open the letter to find a recruitment flier for the DEA. The pay seemed good, and the benefits were alright, and despite the fact Randal hadn’t envisioned himself in law enforcement; nevermind a federal agency, he decided to call the number on the document in his hands.

6 months later…
Randal began field work for the SCP Foundation’s department of External Affairs. He only handled investigation of Chaos Insurgency activity after they had attacked certain sites, and he was mostly unsuccessful at first until one day it clicked. Using records of other attacks as a reference to look into patterns. A clear pattern emerged in the attacks and the next target was predicted, and the insurgency cell was decisively wiped out. For this he was granted a promotion to Special Agent and was shipped to Canada on a new assignment; here he learned more about the Overseer Council and was offered a position as an assistant by O5-3 after he had again predicted an insurgency target and was responsible for the wiping out of another cell. Today Randal Joey Deere is a successful DEA Field Operative/Data Analyst and Assistant to the Overseer Council where he has used the Council’s assets to attend law school and is working his way towards moving back to the United States and passing the bar. He hopes to retire from the SCP Foundation one day to become a public defendant and to help those who cannot afford legal representation.

Character wise, I have personally not seen Randal enough to form an opinion. However, I do know for a fact that what your character has done for the Foundation was phenomenal.

Your application and your past positions show us that you are more than fit enough for Site Administration. They would be extremely fortunate to have you in their team.
