Why are you applying for Site Advisor?

I’m applying to become the next Site Advisor as during my time in Chief and overall on the site, I have had a wonderful time in all my combative roles, alongside with leading a whole department. I figured that it would be a nice break to apply for a non-combative role that would allow me to both create roleplay for departments and help them maintain their standards so everything can run as smooth as possible.


What makes you suitable for Site Administration?:
I believe the list below could state why I would be a suitable candidate for Site Administration:
  • Leadership: During my time in Gensec, I have managed to display amazing leadership by taking control of situations and such. When I became the Chief Of Security, Gensec wasn’t in the best position, I put time and dedication on weeding out the issues and overall making it a much better department than it was in January 2025. The issues that were taken out of Gensec were mainly the professionalism and behaviour of personnel, indeed these still happen but in a lower amount due to them being dealt with in a quick manner. In January, we had a total of 2 Captains and tryouts for RCL and HWL were hosted, now we have a total of 8 Captains with tryouts being hosted on a daily basis. I believe my leadership would benefit me within a position of Site Administration.​
  • Knowledge: During my time as Chief and Alpha-1, I had to learn about other department policies to make sure security around the site was being followed alongside with the ability to plan cross-trainings in the future so I can understand what we can both do. My knowledge I have has been used in many cases, one being where Alpha-1 assisted Omega-1 in auditing ISD and for us to pull in documents that could be considered to contain information about them to commit treason.​
  • Roleplay Creation: I can easily make roleplay on the spot alongside with planning it in advance with projects, events and making sure it’s entertaining for both parties taking part. My most notable roleplay creation was when I got 20+ cadets on the site and we managed to use that to raid CI. My latest project is called “Project Checkup” and the purpose of this was to introduce roleplay to Gensec, Medical and D-class, with a lot of riots happening each day I came up with the idea that the D-class could be feeling mental trauma and their mental state being at risk which could slow down RSD with their tests. I’m always excited about finding new ways roleplay can be created in any scenario that will be positive.​
  • Future plans: If I do obtain a position in Site Administration my plans as Site Advisor would be to introduce more roleplay for all departments such as Nu-7 as I rarely see them getting to have any roleplay around the site, and to speak to lower clearance level personnel to wonder about the concerns in their department so we can have multiple perspectives on how a department is doing rather taking it from our view. Another thing to note is I also want to give Site Administration a bit more attention on site by being quite proactive and an active presence on site so personnel can know they can come to us with issues.​

What are the responsibilities of Site Administration in RP?:
- Overseeing Departments: As SA, one of their primary focuses is to see how departments are performing along with speaking to Directors about what the issues are happening in their department and to give them feedback on how it can improve.

Creating Roleplay: Another main thing that Site Administration should be doing is finding ways on how to create roleplay, that being either planned or on the spot.

Authorising Advanced Armory: Authorising this when there are several SCPs currently breached.

Tribunals: Assisting ISD and Ethics with creating tribunals on those who break the FLC.

Site Policies: Making sure policies are up to date and implementing new ones if needed, along with reviewing department policies to ensure they are up to standards.

Appointments: Appointing new Department Directors when needed besides Alpha-1, Omega-1, ISD and other MTF regiments.

External Relations: Maintaining the relationship with other GOI's with the assistance from DEA.

Personnel Removal: When somebody is removed from either a department or a license unfairly, they usually come to Site Administration to look into the matter to see if it was fair or unfair.

Orders: Following orders given to them by Site Managers, the Site Director and Site Command.

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

Astro Zorbas was born in 19██ in London and was raised there as a child. While growing up he lived in poverty for quite some time due to the lack of jobs his parents were able to find, however they did have enough for him to attend school. Life was quiet, and very boring. Astro didn't like that so he dreamed about joining the Military when he gets to the age of 18. Countless days go by, he waits, waits, and keeps waiting, eventually his 18th birthday comes by. He puts in an application to join the Black Watch Battalion. A few months go by and he receives letter in the mail stating that he was accepted and to meet in the location of ██████ for his training. After a year in the academy, he passes with flying colours. A few more years ago by and he becomes a Staff Sergeant and is deployed for his first war. During the war it was all chaotic, bullets flying everyone, bodies laying around...

He got use to it but it still leaves a weird feeling in his head, however after the war he was approached by a person in a suit, he wants to speak to Astro in private and they do so. He presents Astro with the choice to join the Foundation as a member of their General Security to which he accepts as the pay is much higher. He gets introduced to his duties and he finds them rather simple, defend the site and make sure no D-class have stuff they shouldn't. 9 Years ago by during his work and he became the next Chief Of Security for that department which he enjoys. A year afterwards, he is approached by a few members of Site Administration and they wish to interview him for a spot as Site Advisor and again, he accepts like usual. After the interview all he can hear is mumbling behind the two giant doors "Is he ready? Is this the kind of person we want to represent the site?" After a long hour discussion, he gets invited back into the office. "Please sit down Mr Zorbas" to which he follows those orders and take a seat. "We have taken in your answers and your performance on the site and we have came to the conclusion that you would be a great fit for Site Advisor. Please report back here tomorrow at 6am sharp for your first introduction to your new role, again we congratulate you on making it this far."



 
Your application seems fairly low quality and lackluster in numerous areas. Aside from this, I find that your RP ability is generally lacking and I worry that your characters often cross over in a way that poorly impacts RP.

Your lore is poor as well and follows the same generic suit of:
>join military
>approached by man in suit for position
>X time later offered a higher position

I gotta agree with Sceptre here, this lore is terrible...

You have to do better if you're looking to pick up a Site Admin position. It's one of the key positions where RP and lore are uncompromisable; you've got to do better on that front.

Neutral from me until you revamp your lore and actually create a character and person to play.

Hey! Thanks for the feedback, I usually lack on lore as I'm not too good at writing it, however I will be taking in this feedback and rework it in the next day or so to have it better!
 
Not going to leave any form of support but genuine guidance

You'd be better off taking your character at a glance and thinking, what would make them tick? How can I attribute this person to the SCP universe as a whole? Is there an SCP your character has an affinity with/run in from civilian life?

In terms of roleplay creation, you need to not just aim at General Security, think bigger. What can you do with Research for example? A core twin in the gameplay loop.

Its not a bad application but you will be thrown from combative into passive role if successful and the real driving force behind enjoying it is the on-the-cuff roleplay you can spur.

Best of luck regardless

During my time back on the server I have seen you do minimal work for GSD and for a person who I have witnessed saying that they have done more than most prior chief of securities I haven’t seen that, really when you talk about RP creation, you have shown that you can in one occasion make spontaneous RP and in another that you can work with another department which for me just doesn’t show that you can make RP that it is inclusive on a site wide level, as a site advisor should be able to create inclusive RP. As other people have stated your Lore is lacking, and for that I would recommend looking at SCP Wiki and there are essay and lore making guides which are there to help expand people’s creativity when talking about the SCP universe.
Good luck!

This negative support is solely based on your in game activities, I have had zero good/positive roleplay scenarios with you, you tend to get annoyed and argumentative with the slightest inconvenience. From my perspective as DoISD I have on multiple occations attempted to restore the relation between ISD and GSD however all of my attempts were in vain. The only people that I can get an actuall conversation with is your captains.

From what I have seen you heavily lack on the aspect of building/retaining relations between departments which in my opinion is extremely important when it comes to roleplay leaders.
