What O5 role are you applying for, and why (give the specific O5 number):

I am applying for O5-1 because I feel that after having spoken with Athena and been with her while she was sorting several of the OOC and IC issues I feel that I am one of the best picks to be able to pick up from where she left off and continue to sort the dropping standards of roleplay on the server. Having had several conversations I feel that I am ready and willing to deal with the responsibilities that come with the position, I feel that I am also equipped to deal with the issues that can arise and how to sort them out once it happens. Furthermore, during my time as O5 and A-1 I feel I have proven myself as someone who is able to create fun and engaging RP that people enjoy getting involved in and I hope that should I be accepted I will be able to encourage the rest of the server to follow this example. I hope that I have proven myself competent enough while in my several roles on this server to be worthy of this role.

What makes you the best candidate for the O5 Council?:

I believe there are a fair few factors that make me the best candidate for this position:

Experience and RP
The vast majority of my time on the server has been spent around the role of O5-1 Including the better part of a year total and roughly 4 months on the Council its self. Because I have worked so closely with the Council for this amount of time I am fully aware of the weight that the position holds and the responsibility that comes along with it. Furthermore, I have had the pleasure of working under 3 separate -1s (Broda, Athena, and Pennington) and during my time under these 3 I have been able to learn the role well and what to do should I be accepted. Alongside this in my over 2000 hours of playing this server and being around it since December of 2022, I have had the pleasure of working alongside every department the server has to offer and I am 100% certain I can create interesting and engaging RP for them all. This is very valuable as Overseers are expected to be consistently looking to create as much RP as possible for people to get involved with. My current main RP project, which I can’t go into too much specifics on as it’s an ongoing A-1 order. What I can say is that it aims to provide a regular source of RP between Alpha-1 and most departments on the server to do during downtimes or if nothing’s going on on the server. My personal favourite example of RP which I have created is is when as O5 previously, I was given a primary action document in character (Actual real thing that happened not even an event) which I managed to turn into a large scale event where A-1 and O5 staged a hostile takeover of the ethics committee. We kidnapped the ECC, which without our knowledge inadvertently activated Primary Action and resulted in Resh-1 Raiding the Site, hunting down and kidnapping all O5 and Ethics Committee members and killing us. This event resulted in the PKing of 3 Site Command Members. As I've only been O5 for a month-ish this time round I've not had time to boot up some actual large RP Storylines but at the minute I'm working on biological and chemical weapons research with Alpha-1 and research, I am also working on a storyline event to do with my lore alongside Sebastian which will include most of the site. In terms of day to day RP I have been conducting spot checks on Alpha-1 and leading regular bunk inspections and infiltrations on other regiments and departments.

Leadership
During my time as A-1 CO, Commander, and Overseer I have prided myself on being able to run things smoothly and efficiently. I believe specifically during my time in A-1, I was able to help lead and run the regiment both in character and out of character, always enforcing high standards for the regiment in both aspects. During my time as Reg Command in A-1 I feel that regimental activity and competency increased dramatically in part because of my efforts and the efforts of the CO team at large. O5-1 needs to be a skilled leader as they are quite literally a leader for almost the entire server and need to be able to look over each department and ensure that they are running smoothly and when this is not happening, taking action to attempt to fix the issue. It's also important for an O5-1 to have a good backbone and not second guess themselves and be able to stick up for what they believe is the right thing to do in any situation.

Documentation
During my time as A-1 CO the first time round I was constantly creating and maintain the regimental documents which were in a fairly poor-ish state with several of the documents containing ridiculous amounts of bloat and unnecessary wording which made joining A-1 a fairly unfriendly process for new players and was all hugely daunting. Any examples of this are now unfortunately gone but anyone who was a CO at the time when I was around will remember how much I worked on the documentation at the time. I am someone who enjoys working with documents and is frequently looking to create new ones, or update existing ones. In my opinion any SC member must be at least semi-competent with documents which I can happily say I am.

Conduct
I am a person who has always looked to hold myself to a high standard both in RP and out of RP and to a great degree of professionalism, you will never find me being unprofessional as expected of any O5 never mind the -1 role, I have only ever received one strike in my roles and I whole Heartedly admit to my mistake in that situation and moved on and fixed it, which leads me on to the other point of being able to learn from your mistakes. Should O5-1 make a mistake it is then wholly up to them to make changes in their behaviors, conduct or insights to ensure that they do not make the same mistakes as they have before.


What are the responsibilities of the O5 Council in RP?:
-Ensuring that all site personnel are going about their duties in a professional and timely manner to ensure that the site is running smoothly all round and dealing with it accordingly when this is not happening.

-Handling and calling of Code Black Scenarios mainly during Code 5s, where they will be expected to coordinate with Epsilon-11, SOP, Site Admin, and Ethics to try and ensure that they do not have to activate the nuke.

-Detonation of the Alpha-1 Warhead: Coming off the heels of the above point, when the site has been lost and or when RP has been disrupted for too long. An Overseer needs to make the choice to reset the Sites RP loop which has been destroyed by the breach and RC the breached SCPs

-Calling ERT: They now have the newly added ability to call in ERT early when they feel the breach is getting out of hand and the Site needs extra help.

-Deployment of A-1 and Overseer assistants to exact the will of the Council to the site.

-Create Interesting RP for the Site to get involved in, and ensure that the council are doing the same.

-Approval of Termination Tests on SCPs as they are technically property of the council.

-Manage, Oversee and maintain relations with GOIs. While DEA are usually the main force in this realm, O5 are still expected to keep up to date on this.

-Conducting hearings on underperforming Departments.

- Working alongside the committee to assist in their want/will of removing an individual from a department.


What are the responsibilities of the O5 Council out of RP (e.g. what applications do they handle?):
-Handling OSA and O5 applications.

-Handling appointment of Site Directors, and Research Directors

-Appointment of the Alpha-1 Commander.

-Creating interesting storylines that players will want to get stuck into and helping/mentoring other people who want to do the same. They should also be ensuring that other Council Members are doing the same.

-Creating and editing Site Policy and the FLC alongside the Ethics Committee.

-As an additional responsibility for the role of -1 is supposed to be liaising with SSL to try and be a link between the opinions of the player base and SSL and try get changes implemented that benefit the server as a whole

Please give some lore about your O5 character and what storylines they would be involved in:

Note that I'll be using the same lore as I'm not finished with my current characters storylines that I'd want to do, I know that the current O5-9 oversees the de commissioning department but It's just lore and can be applied to any O5 designation.

I was contacted on discord to give a +support to this application that didnt even let my body go cold

Mans a legend, he stood in for me when I was sorting the very departments that made me leave (cheers again E-11, I have all the names dw x) anyway, grong is an incredible candidate, solid accent makes RP immense, and boom.

Good luck
