Currently all of my warns are expired, I am unsure as to how I got the ban on the 4th December 2022, as I usually log back into the server straight away if I crash in the middle of an RP situation. All the warns I received was when I was new to the server and was still learning the rules while also not taking it awfully serious, this however has clearly changed now.

Why are you applying for Executive Researcher?

I am once again back to the server and in a much better head space and simply wish to get back into some proper roleplay. I always used the SCP RP community as a sort of escape, going into a character that I could fall into after a stressful day as well as also using the environment as a sort of creative output. This community has always been good to me and I have always been good to the community. This time I really want to focus on building up my character as well as the general lore around the character. I really wish to go a lot deeper into roleplay involving my character, and wish to be able to bring this to other people.

I also wish to help the research departments roleplay as well as the general servers roleplay. I would like to use my experience to aid the research department from the executive level as this would also allow me a balance of time which I could also divert towards character creation. I want to use the role as an intermediary position before deciding where I would like to go next.

Since the last time I left, I realised that this was a creative output that I very much needed and would similarly like to break my cycle of being extremely active and then suddenly leaving. So I would also like to use this role to see if I would be comfortable with sticking around for a longer period this time around on the server.

What makes you suitable for Executive Researcher?

Generally speaking I am a very creative thinker and person in general. I have come up with many crazy ideas and the SCP RP environment provides the perfect environment for me to express the creativity. In terms of roleplay this is very beneficial as I can work closely with others to expand on ideas or curate them into actually executable plans. This also means I am quite good at working with larger storylines or projects that take a little while to complete, resulting in more passive roleplay and active roleplay over a longer period of time.

I am also quite efficient when it comes to working on these sorts of things, from my previous two directorships my hard work was clearly seen in the projects I produced, and the effort I put into the department from every aspect. Similarly I am also quite a knowledgeable person, involving myself with more intellectual activities, paired with my creative drive and effectiveness, I can also provide more in-depth projects in relation to certain topics of interest such as maths or physics, creating more interest in the roleplay from others due to its complexity.

Generally I am quite an articulate and literate person, which allows me to present and document my research in quite an effective manner. This creates good research records of projects and also allows me to effectively review others work with a good perspective. This allows me to be quite helpful to people who may need a little assistance with their documentation and research.

How many excellent-graded documents have you written? What makes an excellent document?

I have written around twenty to thirty excellent graded documents in-game. Most of my documents however are external for the purpose of better formatting as well as ease of sharing with gamemasters and others. I am able to transcribe documents in-game if need be however.

Excellent documents consist of the following;

Creative idea / concept; The actual concept of the research study itself constitutes to an interesting idea or provides the SCP foundation a unique solution to an issue they face. Usage of SCPs outside of what is kept on site also can result in a higher grade, as the idea of "bringing in other SCP" results in a decent amount of roleplay for departments besides research.

Good formatting and structure; The document itself is laid out in a nice format with consistent headers, reporting structure and clear goal throughout the entire document. Furthermore, relative consistency across many pieces of work would bring the grade higher as well. General flow of the document is also very important to take into consideration for readability and conceptualisation. Using scientific formatting for documents is also highly recommended.

Good vocabulary (both scientific and literature related); Usage of the correct terminology and usage of a variety of vocabulary would similarly bring the grade higher, the goal is not to fill the document with fancy words however using words that describe certain things, processes, emotions, feelings, etcetera can result in a better research document as your idea and research is better portrayed with the better use of language.

Good usage of lore / SCP wiki; Using the correct lore or adding your extensions of wiki articles or stories can result in quite interesting research as it can send you down a larger rabbit hole. Using certain parts can also add a good anchor to not go overboard with your own creativity and once again provide a very comprehensive and good flowing document that would be more appreciated than other documents.

Varied type of research; Going beyond what is considered standard research and instead doing things like an analysis or literature of an SCP or a statistical hypothesis test for example can also grade higher as it is out of the ordinary.


What are the responsibilities of the Executive Research in RP?

Firstly executive researchers must act as role models to the general research population as they are given much higher responsibility in the role of the ones who guide the rest of research and also manage larger research projects when they occur or are delegated to them.

The main managerial aspect of the role is to help lower clearance personnel help conduct their research and help with guidance on research and foundation policy. It is their job to look over research documents and grade them appropriately, afterwards then bringing in the researcher to provide constructive criticism and help them move onto the next project with a mind more knowledgeable than before.

Executives should also be at the forefront of managing conduct within the department, overseeing tests and personnel conduct to ensure it is inline with research policy and foundation legislation. If violations occur it is also the job of the executive to ensure corrective punishment or reflection is brought about.

Ensuring good communication is flowing through all departments is another job for executives to handle, although not as important of a job to executives as it is to directors, they are still responsible for ensuring communication is thriving when projects or incidents occur.

Clearance four rights also give clearance four responsibilities. This can include escorting lower level authorised personnel to higher level areas, closing blast doors when necessary, switching on or off electrical components when necessary, and potentially the operation of advanced armoury, again only, if necessary.

Lastly, reading over foundation and department legislation and policy respectively and if they find any mistakes or potential amendments, they should communicate it to the correct people.


Please give some lore about your Executive Researcher character and what storylines they would be involved in?


Small extract from a larger character building

My eyes slowly fluttered open, a gentle wet fog easing the process of aligning myself, the stillness of my surroundings allowing my mind to rest from unnecessary thoughts that usually crowded my consciousness. I turn over onto my back with the soft ground shielding my body from soreness, my eyes fill with the forests reddened hue and mesmerising glow. The trees all around seemed to sore into absolutely nothing, never stopping yet they seemed so uniform and intentional. Was this truly the palace that contained the full concept of love? Did I truly discover the only route into here?

My finger tips felt the gentle petals below as they searched for the ground, I gently gripped the ground that supported the worlds love, yet it slipped away despite the grip that I managed to find. When I pulled myself up to sit against a tree, my body seemed to have no pain almost as if this place forgot about the gracious fall that I took to get here. My eyes slowly scan the deep purple sky until I found my entry point, a single red swirling spot at around what looked to be a hundred miles away. It slowly stopped spinning, the rip mending itself or maybe even hiding from my eyes.

I look down at my hands, a deep slow breath exits and enters my body. The air recoiled against every corner of my lungs giving me more life than I thought a simple breath could, however I expected pain after such a cleansing but yet I received nothingness. Slumping my head to the side I took another breath, this time the elegant coniferous bark was the only thing that coated my nose. I close my eyes taking in my third breath, aiming to savour the elegance before my eventual journey back to the world that derived from so many places just like this one. My eyes now open, staring ahead. Pulling myself up using the tree, my eyes continue darting around taking in the completely foreign yet so familiar environment.

The ground seemed to host an array on flowers, primarily roses yet lily of the valley occurred in large groups or completely isolated, the other flowers didn't follow any pattern and occurred completely randomly. The trees also didn't seem to provide a reason for being there, only existing for the purpose of building a forest and creating a maze. I run a hand through my hair, moving it out the way and finally I adjust my glasses. I begin to tread carefully, keeping my weaponry stowed away not seeing any point in even knowing whether they are in an operable condition. Leaving my first tree line behind, a full view of the land ahead appeared. The most interesting observation being the huge spindles that attached and detached from the ground as extreme speeds yet not the speed of light. My scientific mind pondered and quickly figured out what this meant for the place I was in and it confirmed what all those psychologists loved to talk about. A small smile perked at my lips, but I suppressed it as quickly as it pleaded my muscles to act.

The entire concept self sustained; rain began pouring to water the flowers, heavier showers over tree lines and softer showers over open land. Walking through the open field I only saw more and more flowers that seemed to decay some with petals still falling off the stem while other infected the gentle land below, leaving a revolting dark mush of failure. Certain flowers featured a half mixture, some parts fully dead while other parts seemed to exist in perfect peace. My trek continued, the sky dimming in accordance with my distance, a gentle soft and still night welcoming me to stay the time being. My body however required nothing, no sleep, no sustenance, no excretion. Once the sky fully disappeared, the only light that remained was the glow of the forests and so for the need of progression I moved once again back into the tree line, even if the path was more indirect.

You do know that this is an exec app not DoR?

I don't think being a past exec or DoR has any part in whether or not he can apply again for the position. Exec researcher slots are not that limited, so I believe anyone who is active and shows determination can have it.

+Support from me although im unsure of your activity

I do, and my point is each time he becomes exec, it tends to lead him directly into applying for DoR. Another one of my points is as an active GSD member, I have not seen him inside of D-block requesting D-class or escorting for testing.

Thank you for your concern with my activity and sudden disappearances.

To begin with I would like to mention that I am not that type of researcher to be conducting research at multiple times in a week, I prefer to work for one week on a solid piece of roleplay as I find it more digestible and also more fun for the server. During my week I performed a two stage piece of research concerning a project called project titan ran by executive casseno. It took me around three days to think of a decent idea and to write up the initial stages of the document while also sticking around for the general stuff you would usually get involved with on the server. Once I was happy with the initial document I went on for a longer period on Thursday and immediately went to a gamemaster and a consultant with my document. The gamemaster made a small event out of it while the consultant was also involved for stage 1. For stage 2 of my document there was enough time on that evening to also make another small event that involved a couple of researchers and which made a little radiation handling scenario.

It is my belief that not all research requires class-D, however my research did use two class-D regardless since it was necessary that time.

Secondly as mentioned within my application I have come back this time to focus on more character centric roleplay and I wish to progress in a different way this time. I do not intend to take up the director position for long if I was to get it and if I was to get it I would also help the next generation be able to take over the role more smoothly via mentorship. I also stated within the application that I wished to break my cycle of joining and leaving at seemingly random points. I will admit I have not had the best track record for that, however things in life are slowly getting better, for specifics I would prefer if you would DM me since it is quite a personal matter.

I would like for you to consider an opinion without the idea of me then going onto director, I think that would be a more fair assessment as even I am unsure of what I currently wish to do. All I know is this server is quite important to me, and I would like to continue to use it as a creative output. If you would like to discuss further, again my DMs are always free.

Again, thank you for the concern and I hope I cleared it up a little bit.

My Vtime for the month of December is 19 hours and 20 minutes last time I checked.

I see, that explains a lot then! I'd still possibly be slightly iffy on if you take up DoR, but I can also understand your stance and direction with it, and I'm sorry if I targetted a point that had been caused by personal issues or real life issues. I was basing my stance on what I know, and how I know it, and I really wanna make sure I didn't come off as venomous or seeming with ill-intent, as I sometimes struggle to convey emotion within writing. I will be changing my stance however, since this clarified a lot, and discussion with people who know you better than I, along with the professionalism in your reply.

I recently assisted in one of his tests as a GM (Project Titan). Unlike most people, he gave slight friendly suggestions on what he would like. His test was, for the first time in a long time for me, not a bog standard sampling test. His test had been thought out, included another department and stood out as different. I really hope you make Executive!
