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 Director of Research?
I am applying for the position of director as I once more wish to lead the department which I love so much. Research for me has always had the biggest roleplay possibilities and opportunities, and with the right people and leadership, research can then influence so many other departments. It is vital to roleplay and I truly wish to be at the forefront of this. I also wish to restore research to its once former glory, which was once known for having some of the best activity of any department and which was also known for having some of the best roleplay from any department.
Secondly I wish to be able to implement changes more directly into the department rather than from my current position which requires extra steps to complete anything. I have a couple ideas which I want to bring about which would be a lot easier from the position of director. These changes are of course to try and help research, once again, get back to its former glory. It would also allow me to bring projects to people to ensure engagement and incentive to participate within the research department is high.
I also want to get further into the roleplay loop once again, having a higher clearance position allows me to act closer to a liaison to gamemasters, site administration, site command and other departmental leaders and therefore develop roleplay further than what is currently possible from my position. My passion for the SCP universe never really died out and I don't think it ever will, I still love to delve into the complex nature and interesting stories that the SCP wiki has to offer. Alongside that, director also gives me better access to help teach the next generation of researchers the greater possibilities of SCP roleplay and of the complexities that the wiki has to offer, allowing me to share my passion towards something useful.
Lastly, it has been quite sad to see how the research department has declined, and I simply wish to help it back up again.
What makes you suitable for Director of Research?
To begin with, I absolutely adore the research department due to its amazing roleplay capabilities that enable people to really use their creativity to not only find solutions but also to allow them to create the best research projects possible. I have very good knowledge on the SCP wiki, that even goes down in pataphysics, that has notoriously difficult articles, concepts and general ideas to understand. I have a greed for knowledge and if their is a topic that I am unsure on, I will then insure that I learn it to an adequate degree to ensure I can answer questions on the topics when asked. I am also very passionate about the SCP wiki and truly wish to maximise my capabilities on a personal basis.
I have an extremely high creative drive, this leads me to making (by my consideration) high quality research projects within a suitable amount of time while also allowing me to engage in roleplay, likewise to a high degree. As a director, I would ensure that I use this drive to push forward and complete very useful and necessary projects not only for research but also for the department. My last two times have seen me being lead to being burnt out, and to alleviate worry and to make sure this time that I do not ditch the departments, I will manage myself properly, giving myself more lenient time scales all the while still delivering to the maximum when it is required of me.
As mentioned in my previous applications for this role, I have always been an articulate writer when given enough time, I am able to portray ideas and thoughts if given enough space which allows me to drive forward projects while maintaining great communication. During my directorship, I showed this excellently as projects were discussed to no end to ensure they were the best quality they could be while still allowing leeway for constructive criticism which lead to improvement without any emotional toll. Effective changes were also brought about as I always took feedback for every change I made whether that be in policy or a suggested amendment to the foundation legislation.
I have learnt to also disconnect feeling from fact, this is absolutely vital for a senior position as you will need to listen to superiors no matter what they say. Any complaints should be formed and brought to the appropriate people using a logical side. This disconnect keeps the department together and enables leadership to keep control even if the times are turbulent.
I am active player on the server and will be able to provide assistance when needed online as I will be there most evenings. I wished to set an example of how activity should be, ensuring research command followed and with my past directorship this in fact occurred. This presence on the site also allows me to keep good talking relations and roleplay relations with other departments, ensuring that conduct remains adequate in the research department and also ensuring that the research departments image remains as glorious as it should be.
Lastly, I am an extremely logical person, as previously mentioned an emotional disconnect allows my mind to prosper when making decisions as all the decisions I take create better results, and if they don't they are amended with a different perspective and potential feedback. This has been very clear, as when my conduct was at fault, was every time I allowed emotion to seep into the decision making process.
What are the responsibilities of a Director of Research in RP?
Firstly, a Director of Research has to manage the department as a whole. This is done through multiple ways:
- Handling the executives currently in place and dealing with their actions, suggestions and ideas respectively.
- Handling executive applications based of your own opinion and the opinion of other members of research command. Also handling interviews for the role.
- Setting out jobs or tasks that need completing for the executives of the department, as well as assigning projects.
- Updating policy depending on the changing situation within the site or by fixing previous oversights. Also discussing policy change with the Directors of Research on both the UK and US site, to enable a further perspective change.
- Carrying out executive orders from site command. Similarly, discussing potential ideas and changes with both site command and site administration.
- Handling the department documentation and updating them as necessary. Creating new documents if they would be seen as useful or required as such.
-Making absolute sure that the entire department is acting in line, and if not action should be taken very harshly and swiftly.
Secondly, a Director of Research has to keep relatively good inter-departmental relationships:
This is important as many departments work with the research department. Whether that be epsilon-11 for simple escorts during a research study or internal affairs investigating a member of the research department, it is paramount that the Directors of Research hold good relations with all departments as they all tie in to make a functioning site. It is similarly vital to hold good relations as situations that can arise may require departments to work together, so good relations will result in effective communication and the situation being resolved faster and more efficiently. Lastly, certain policy changes may ,again, require departments to work together to bring about this change.
This can be done by simply reminding the general research department that it is vital to hold respect and an understanding of other departments. Another method to hold good relations is through good communication between the departments so there is minimal misunderstanding while also setting up good examples for future communications for all levels of the research department.
Lastly, holding good relations in general with the leads or commanders of departments and mobile task forces alike is vital also, when it comes down to inter-departmental relations, as the higher ups opinions perpetuate throughout the department due to them being seen as senior.
Last, but not least, a Director of Research must activate as many opportunities for roleplay as possible for as many people as possible:
It is vital for someone with a senior role, especially that of the research department, to enable people to engage with good roleplay and lots of it. This can be done through previously mentioned methods such as simply taking the time to explain lore ideas to researchers which could then inspire them to do a great research study or perhaps creating situations which requires creative thinking, something which cannot be solved by simple game mechanics (of course this can be aided by game masters). During this period of directorship I also wish to start a lot more projects that previously, this is to enable maximum roleplay for all players while occupying them.
Please give some lore about your Director of Research character and what storylines they would be involved in:
A small extract from Engallagher's mind (part of larger lore)
I wipe my eyes and try to look forward, orienting my eyes with the flurry of redlight pouring in from the ground and the ceiling. I place my hand on the floor to try get up, but it slips, my face falling back into the pool of blood beneath me. I pat myself down trying to find an injury, but yet I find nothing, I am somehow uninjured. I decide to just lay there for a minute letting my body adjust naturally instead of trying to force myself up, and a minute passes just like that, maybe I even blanked out for an hour, but how would I know? Finally I get up, ignoring the throbbing pain from the bruises I got when I was thrown a couple metres down a hallway. Looking around I see the walls are mostly covered in freshly ripped out organs and blood, then looking out in front of me I see a single laptop semi-open.
I approach the laptop confused at how it is still working despite what had happened, kneeling down next to it I open it fully and wipe the blood from the screen to see results that are... positive? I sit down cross legged smiling to myself as I place the laptop into my lap, looking through more data and graphs. The project has been successful and I sigh happily, finally at peace that everything is done. I feel a wet patch starting to build up on my leg, I raise the laptop to see blood dripping groggily from its upside, I flip the laptop and see part of a finger. I swipe it off and go back to observing the results.
After sitting happily for around an hour, I find a backpack from an MTF soldier, emptying its contents and placing the laptop inside, I throw the bag over my shoulder. I begin on my journey out of the mega-facilities largest research lab, chuckling softly at all the destruction around me. A murmur rings out behind me and I turn around, glaring softly but unemotionally at the person trying to get up. I instead walked up to him, kicking him in the ribs and taking out the pistol from his holster. With utmost efficiency I shoot him point blank with it, his head falling into the new pile of brains that are now strewn across the floor. Dropping the pistol next to his hand, I turn around and continue on my journey to the heavy duty elevator, my mood ecstatic and my face gleaming with excitement with the results on the laptop. I stop in front of the lift, pressing the button, already anticipating how satisfied Site-01 will be with me.
Maybe they are using me, or maybe my mental illness really doesn't matter to them. One thing I do know is they appreciate the intelligence that balances my negatives, and I'm content with that.
I leant against a tree watching the rain drops fall softly at my shoes, washing the purple flowers of their red hued glow. I breathe in, every essence of my existence fills with serenity, the air acting like an euphoria inducing narcotic. I raise my eyes slowly at what's around me, nothing but a forest and light fog with low growing vegetation that invites you to walk and poeticize.
I see her, who was she again? I know her, she loves me, yet I don't remember why. She holds me when my mind dissolves into madness… I love her… She makes her way to stand in front of me, a concerned look on her face, why is she worried? Then I feel my eyes getting increasingly wet, I hide my face in the nape of her neck and once again hold her tightly in desperation. She strokes and plays with my hair while pressing me closer to her. It was another one of those moments I guess, I didn't even know it myself, but she knew…
The forest held so much in itself, trees spanning hundreds of metres high, low mist hugging those same trees and finally the rain, always there as programmed, always at medium levels during the afternoons and in evenings and in nights it gets as heavy as can be. She smelled nice today… I can tell she tried for me, I love her… Why do I love her? Her affection is so warm, I would die without her… She is my warmth… She made me cry harder, maybe I'm obsessed, maybe she made me that way. I love her anyway. Mine.
I feel a small jolt at my feet, I look down and see a metal floor, then I look up and see two elevator doors. I open my arms and the corpse I was holding falls onto the floor, another spent task force member. I wipe my tears and walk out the elevator towards the entrance of the site, the identification checkpoints giving me an expressway to leave, not questioning a single thing that occurred within that research laboratory over the night. Being special feels nice. Being special hurts. I miss her.
