Why are you applying for Executive Researcher?
I’ve developed kind of a strong pull toward RSD lately, it’s been sitting in my head for a while actually, and I’d really like to take a step forward, maybe a big one. When I was watching and sometimes joining the research activities, I kept thinking—like really thinking—about how I could do more, not just for myself but for the department too, to make things smoother or maybe more alive for everyone else who’s part of it. Sometimes I overthink it, but that’s okay. That’s more than okay, actually.
One thing that’s been poking at me is how the top researchers, the ones with all the experience, rarely run tests on the higher-tier SCPs like SCP-008 and others of that kind. It feels like a missed door. Because of that, I think there’s space, or maybe a gap, to pull more focus toward those SCPs, to make them less of a quiet corner. If I got accepted, I’d want to push for more testing and research on those high-level ones but still keep it safe and not chaotic, you know, like organized but not stiff.
I’d want to set up experiments that are structured but not too rigid, something that makes other researchers and staff want to join in. If more people get involved and the testing feels like an event rather than a task, the sessions could turn more engaging, maybe even fun. It could also help connect departments that don’t usually talk much during those higher-level tests.
And beyond the research itself, I think this could make the roleplay side richer, more immersive. Testing high-tier SCPs brings weird, exciting moments—problem-solving, teamwork, quick choices. I’d try to shape those into good scenarios that keep everyone enjoying it.
In the end, I just want to give more to RSD, to make the high-level research feel alive again. My interest and effort, I think, could help make that happen.
What makes you suitable for Executive Researcher?:
I believe I am well-suited for this role because of how I manage my time and, honestly, how much I just stay around. I’m usually online for long hours, sometimes too long actually, which means I can respond fast and stay involved when things happen. I try to keep a mix between being professional and just being a normal person, you know, not robotic. I can be serious when it’s needed but I also like to make people laugh a bit or ease the mood when things get too stiff. Sometimes humor works better than rules, though not always, I guess.
I’ve made pretty good connections with a lot of the foundation staff, and I think people see me as reliable, or at least not annoying. Working with others is something I really enjoy, even when it gets messy or confusing. I think teamwork only works when people actually like being there together, not just doing tasks. I can take jokes, even bad ones, and I know when to throw one in myself though sometimes the timing goes weird but that’s fine.
More than anything, I try to do my job properly, or at least with full energy. My excitement for this position keeps me pushing to do better, maybe too much sometimes. I take my duties seriously and want to help the team succeed, even if that means staying up late or redoing things twice. I think my attitude and work drive will actually show through in the long run.
I’m honestly just excited to join in and prove that I can do this well.
How many excellent-graded documents have you written? What makes a document excellent?
I believe I got maybe three really good grades, or maybe four, but mostly from 2023 I think. There are many things that make a document feel top-class but for me the biggest one is creativity, like real imagination not just fancy words. Some people, researchers or writers or whoever, they decorate their work with long sentences and extra stuff to make it look serious but if there’s no spark of creativity then it just sits there, dull. The roleplay doesn’t breathe, you know, it doesn’t give that feeling of being inside it and that’s when the whole thing kind of collapses a bit.
Another thing that matters a lot is effort. Without enough effort the document looks hurried and kind of broken, and it shows everywhere. The grammar slips, the style jumps around, and the rhythm of the writing feels off like a song played too fast. When there’s no care, the reader can tell, and it loses the point entirely actually.
I think creativity and effort, those two, they’re the real bones of an excellent document. Creativity stretches the limits of roleplay and effort gives it shape, grammar, and flow. When both exist together the result becomes something balanced and alive, not perfect maybe but memorable. These two things, they make the work stand out, they make it stay in someone’s head longer than expected, maybe even after they stop reading.
What are the responsibilities of the Executive Researcher in RP?:
The responsibilities of an Executive are broad, but their main duty sort of circles around being the person others look at first, the one who shows how things should or shouldn’t be done. As the first face new members usually meet they kind of set the whole tone for what’s acceptable and what’s not inside the Department and sometimes that’s harder than it sounds. They can lead by example, like making tests that actually make sense or helping Jr. Researchers figure out the right steps, or even arranging those long brainstorming meetings that somehow end up half lecture half chaos but still spark new ideas. Sometimes they repeat the same advice again and again, but that’s part of it really.
Equally important, maybe even more on bad days, is their job as the disciplinarian. Executives keep everyone in line they make sure people follow the rules and act like professionals even when they don’t feel like it. It’s not just about punishing mistakes but about showing maturity, being the adult in the room so to speak. They’re often the first to notice when someone’s off track and have to fix it fast, sometimes awkwardly but still necessary.
Lastly Executives handle the endless stream of documents, signing, checking, approving, all that paper stuff that somehow defines their existence on site. Doing it right gives Scientists the credit they deserve and helps Researchers who, well, need a bit of direction. When this part runs smoothly the whole Department feels steadier, like the gears fit better even if nobody says it out loud, and that quiet success keeps the place from falling apart.
Please give some lore about your Executive Researcher character and what storylines they would be involved in:
Name: Tony 'poguke' Mohammed
Age: 25
Height: 176 cm
Weight: 85 Kg
Tony has been kind of pushed, or maybe pulled, by this strange work energy since he was a kid, like he couldn’t stop even if he wanted to. He used to get perfect scores, almost annoyingly perfect, in nearly every test he took, and people said it was discipline but it was more like obsession maybe. Everyone knew him for that—his stubborn focus, his endless hours buried in science notes and experiments that sometimes didn’t even make sense. When the SCP Foundation came calling, offering him a job studying weird creatures and objects, he thought it’d just be the same thing but with better pay. It wasn’t. It was stranger, heavier, and somehow more alive than anything he’d done before, and he didn’t quite expect that.
After four years of stumbling and learning and not sleeping enough, Tony climbed the ladder—Junior Researcher, then Researcher, then Senior, though the titles never really meant rest. People noticed him, or maybe they noticed his results, and soon he was told to join the Executive Research Team. He said yes without thinking twice, maybe out of excitement or maybe just habit.
Now he stands somewhere between ambition and exhaustion, still trying to prove something he can’t quite name. The future’s blurry, but he keeps walking, keeps rewriting what “success” even means.
