What O5 role are you applying for, and why (give the specific O5 number):
I am currently applying for the position of O5-4. As for the reasoning, I firmly believe that this would be the next right step for me, in terms of roleplay creation, I've always loved and still do playing as an Overseer Assistant, but to me, I really consider this to be the natural path of progression - I've always told myself and still do, I am not doing this for the power but rather to help serve the Foundation. Right now, I'd like to have the opportunity to create even better roleplay experiences for everyone involved. All in all, currently as an Overseer Assistant I have been doing quite a lot of work and greatly enjoy it, though I would like to improve the roleplay to what I consider to being a great standard.
Though I may not be the best candidate in terms of Sr. CL4 experience (I'll be sure to elaborate on this and hopefully can clarify any questions that may arise), I consider myself a great fit, I'm always willing to learn, and I believe I can give a fresh perspective and opportunities once given the chance.
What makes you the best candidate for the O5 Council?:
After returning last year to Civil Networks, my progression has always been related to roleplay rather than being combative. I'm eager to advance to the O5 Council as I see it as a platform where, as mentioned before, I can progress and create something even bigger for our community. My whole progression to my current role of Senior Overseer Assistant should underscore not only just my will to learn but also my capacity to lead at higher levels of responsibility.
Experiences and Qualifications: I firmly believe that this is controversial to some of our fellow community members as I'm currently holding a Jr. CL4 position, with no prior Sr. CL4 position - though I consider this one of the fairest issues that may be raised because as we all know and as it has always been pointed out, this kind of progression usually is followed by the Jr. CL4 -> Sr. CL4 -> CL5. While I understand that the traditional pathway through Sr. CL4 roles like Site Advisor or Department Director may seem like the most adequate step before ascending to the O5 Council, I strongly, and honestly believe that my unique trajectory and experiences have greatly prepared me uniquely (to some extent) to this role - while the traditional path offers valuable insight and a lot of experience which I respect and deeply honour. All in all, to put it simply, I believe my professional aspirations and skills are alligned closer to the strategic and overarching responsibilities of the O5 Council.
Now within the O5 Council, I have ascended to a Senior Assistant (essentially what was known as the older Factotum, encompassing the most trusted Overseer Assistants) this of course comes with added responsibilitites, mainly leadership ones - which I believe may demonstrate my performance as an Assistant and, above all, a Leader.
Operational Expertise: Having served in various capacities, I believe that I possess a very robust operational background, I have assisted the Research Department by proposing new Research Policy changes where the aim was to enhance the security on-site. I've assisted Site Administration greatly with their department monthly review, having also created a great well-being test to be used on our personnel. I've been assigned as an OSA lead to some tasks which further displays my coordination and leadership expertise.
Community Engagement: Though most community members may not see me around the Site very often (due to me being either disguised while down or at Floor 3), I consider myself an approachable person and often engage with individuals across all levels (which is an attribute that I've displayed forever, always eager to involve newer members aswell - will give some examples below - as everyone was new once).
Documentation and Rigor: I pride myself on the quality of my documentation. Whether it's creating a simple report or submitting a new project to the Council, I ensure that every piece of content is not only informative but also elevates the experience by remaining immersive and to a very high standard.
Conclusion: To me, my tenure as an OSA has been marked by proactive leadership and the creation of engaging projects, along with policies and more. I've created a pretty big project (which I'll list below) that spans across multiple departments. My overall time as an OSA has constantly required me to have a deep understanding of how the different departments operate, and the ability to manage multiple teams, ensuring that all of the participants are always actively participating as well as motivated.
Some of my Roleplay creation includes, but isn't limited to:
- Assisting Site Administration: Collaborated in the creation of the Wellbeing Survey to enhance staff morale and identify areas of improvement;
- Personnel Interviews: Conducted extensive interviews through various clearance levels, focusing on loyalty assessment and integrity as well as wellbeing.
- Specialized in Surveillance: As a Senior Overseer Assistant, I've been focusing on Surveillance, actively engaging in surveillance operations across the site to detect any ill behavior.
- Projects: Though I cannot disclose all the information to this as some of them are currently on going, I've created several projects that are essentially a joint cooperation between the Medical Department, Research Department and the Epsilon-11 personnel. I managed to involve to some extent personnel from lower to higher clearances to a few projects - This however is still on-going, and if necessary, more details can be given. At essence, the projects culminate in one big project that is being created to address emerging Council threats (Project Rebirth; Project Venom Shield and others which are on going which I cannot disclose yet).
- Council Support: I've suggested several orders for the Council, always demonstrating a proactiveness and pointing out lack of morale.
- ECA Trial: Reported significant security violations of an ECA trespassing on Floor 3 jurisdiction and exposing secrets to a D-Class personnel, which lead to a series of roleplay oportunities on this, as more evidence was then gathered on the ECA before trial.
- Certification and Training Program Proposal: Currently I am developing a comprehensive certification and training program intended to standardize and elevate the skills of Foundation personnel, pending coordination with the Site Administration and Ethics Committee as well as the Council for possible implementation. This certification program aims to change the way some departments are underperforming, by possibly implementing a new mentorship/training program in them.
- Project Chimera Strike: Chimera Strike started out as a comprehensive initiative that was created by me to enhnance the Foundation's capabilities in managing external threats through the unethical usage of SCP objects. This project, acts an an umbrella for several projects that have happened and assigned to several departments. This project is at heart, the creation of a new SCP-008 instance that can be deployed to the Council's desire. It emphasizes cross-department collab and is still on-going.
- Project Rebirth: Rebirth focuses on the application of regenerative properties found in certain SCP objects we have on site to advance emergency medical treatment and recovery protocols. This project was pivotal in exploring therapeutic and emergency trauma care aiming to revolutionise Medical practices within the Foundation. This project required coordination with the Department Director of Medicine along with several Consultants, where a meeting was held individually in-order to assess what resources would be necessary to be spent, along with personnel evaluation, in-order to only to give an oportunity to lower clearance personnel to work on it aswell. A bridge was then set by me between the Medical Department, Research Department along with the Epsilon-11 personnel, where each department's leadership was assessed through and feedback was heard. The project outcome was a total success having created a new path for trauma emergency care, which was at core the main goal, which is something that has great roleplaying potential to come, as my intention was to utilise it during situations where mass casualities are happening (breaches, raids etc...). By closely working with SCP-682 samples, this project seeked to harness and replicate regenerative capabilities, leading to breakthrough on site on how to treat catastrophic injuries and diseases. This was all conducted in several stages, with due coordination between departments.
- Project Venom Shield: Venom Shield explored the defensive applications of our Site's biological anomalies. Specifically by utilizing the properties of SCP-008-2 and SCP-427-1 (with the introduction of SCP-049-2 later) in-order to develop biocontainment and countermeasures agains't biological threats. The focus was to create protocols and treatments that can be deployed rapidly in the field, enhancing the readiness out of site agains't biological threats. This was at heart a project that while allowing the Site to benefit from an added study, a bio-weapon agent was created covertly, as a minor contribution towards Project Chimera Strike. This project encompassed the Research Department along with the Epsilon-11, the Medical Personnel as well as E&TS, and was key to finding out a loop-hole in the older Research Policy, which then involved me having a meeting with two Ethics Comittee Members, two Department Directors of Research coordinating between them and O5 Council, in-order to push for a change in the older policy. The change has now been implemented. The roleplay that came through this project was nothing short of great to the involved personnel, several meetings were held where coordination and leadership strategies were a must, we had to adapt the SCP-008's chamber along with E&TS in-order to include extra laboratory equipment (something that was to be coordinated with game masters in-order to create an event).
- Active Counter Ethics Operations: One of the main things I was afraid to disclose here due to the fear of it being metagamed was this current operation that I am leading. The main goal is to essentialy act as a screen to the Council's interests. To do this, I am currently managing the creation of several fake projects that can be distributed in strategic places along the Site, in-order to cover the Council's operations. Currently, I am leading the operation by creating several fake projects, setting up meetings with Alpha-1 Commanding Officers in-order to optimise the distribution of said projects, meetings are held and Alpha-1 specialists are called into the meeting where I coordinate with them and study where these projects are planted to make sure the Ethics Comittee gets their hands on them. This doesn't stop here, as these projects are created to such detail that they require the same amount of effort than any other regular project, I ensure each project gets their according fake weekly report, fake Research/Project lead member's signature, and all of this is being done simultaneously, with the Council having currently two documents in distribution, along with two more documents ready for distribution once the opportunity is right. I am managing the creation of 4 concurrent projects along with their respecting weekly reports just for this operation in specific that is currently ongoing I'll be glad to share even more details if desired.
- Certification and Training Programs: This is an initiative that I'm currently working on that is being established to standerdize and elevate training across the Foundation, ensuring that all personnel are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to handle their tasks. The program covers various aspects of the SCP Foundation management, tailored to different departmental needs, currently I'm working on it for it to be implemented in lacking departments, this will also be done in colaboration with Site Administration, O5 Council. and several Dpt. Leads. The program is designed to foster ongoing development, keeping personnel updated as well as motivated. My end goal is that by doing this, newer and older department members, will be experiencing performance increases along with new increased morale - to do this, I intend on creating a course, depending on the departmental need that can be used to address unfulfilling and underperforming departments.
- Honorable mentions: Currently promoting/working on an operation that has been suggested to the O5 Council, Operation Phantom Files, this operation's aim is to involve the Surface Operations into a colaborative effort by infiltrating misinformation within GOIs.
As per my lore understanding, and the community's lore.
Decision-making:
- Council Decisions: The O5 Council is responsible for making critical decisions that shape the direction of the Foundation's operations.
- Legislative Authority: The O5 Council updates and maintains conduct legislation within the Foundation's Legal Codex (FLC). To do this, they must ensure that their suggested policies align with the Foundation's goals along with the ethical standards.
- Emergencies: The O5 Council must be ready at all times to strategically utilize significant resources, such as the Alpha Warhead, Mass Termination of D-Class personnel, as well as the use of mass amnestication when necessary. Authorization of Code Blacks and other emergency protocols to manage crises efficiently also proves to be essential to prevent widespread damages to the Foundation.
- Site Management: One of the main responsibilities is ensuring that the site and the current designated Site Administration are managed efficiently. This included overseeing the general operations, settling possible disputes (when they arise), and ensuring that the site's administrative and management teams are performing optimally.
- Policies: All in all, we act as a maintenance team towards the normal and good functioning on the Site, ensuring the roleplay remains to a high standard.
- Exemplary Roleplay: Being part of the O5 Council, signifies at core being a roleplay leader, one must be actively creating roleplaying scenarios that drive our community forward. This ranges from developing complex projects and orders that involve multiple departments and personnel to broader community roleplay. Creativity is a must, and without it, no roleplay leader can strive. The end goal is to engage the community in a meaningful and unforgetable way.
- Guidance: A roleplay leader should act as a corestone and as a guidance to other high-level roles within the site, helping to develop the next generation of leaders and roleplayers is, in my eyes, a healthy cycle to perpetuate the good roleplay found within Site-65.
With great power comes great responsibilities, the O5 Council acts as a pivot figure in the governance of the direction of the server. Therefore, their duties do extend beyond in-game activities to ensure smooth operation of the community as a whole. These responsibilities include but aren't limited to:
Applications and appointment:
- Review and decide new applications to the O5 Council;
- Review and decide new applications for OSA;
- Appoint new positions such as the Director of Research, MTF Alpha-1 Commander, as well as the Site Director.
- As roleplay leaders, the O5 Council members are responsible to coordinating with SL to organize server-wide events and scenarios, ensuring these are balanced and contribute positively to the server's health.
- They should also coordinate with Game Masters in-order to organise said events and scenarios.
- They participate in several roleplay creations, including but not limited to: Orders and Projects for Alpha-1, as well as Overseer Assistants - serving as a stepping stone for wider roleplay participation oportunities for the site.
- The roleplay produced by an O5 Council members is incentivised to be for everyone (Including GOIs such as CI and UNGOC).
- All of the decisions taken by an O5 Council member should always have the server's health into consideration.
