Have you received any kicks/bans/warning? and why?:

In regard to kicks and/or bans, I have not received any during my time here on US SCP-RP. My warnings have been very few and far between, with none having been within the last two months (to my knowledge.) All but one of my warnings is in regard to my conduct as a GENSEC cadet/officer, where tensions in D-Block run high and I would terminate without enough RP reason and get a warning for it. I don't know how many times this has happened, but I'm confident it was only twice. The only other warning I have that deviates from that is a job abuse warning when switching to 860-2 to chase down a D-Class. This was when I was fairly new to the server and wasn't familiar with job abuse and that it was a rule on this server. Since then, I have been very careful to follow the rules and always record any action I take on medaltv.

What makes you the best candidate for Overseer Assistant?:

Part of what has made me successful thus far on this server in the jobs that I currently hold or have previously held is my unwavering dedication to the role and how each action that I take reflects not only my own abilities but also the overall image of the unit/organization that I directly coordinate with. In addition to pulling hours that other EST players find inconvenient, I keep a very keen eye on the situation at hand for any violations of the Code of Conduct and act accordingly with swift action. This isn't because I want to be a killjoy, but if smaller standards falter, then bigger building blocks will fall and will tarnish the authority of the group I am directly working with (in this case, it would be the O5 Council and A-1).

Although I haven't spent much time as a clearance 4 personnel apart from being an A-1 Corporal, I have a ton of experience writing long, extensive documents on my activities that are RP friendly and entrenched in the lore of both the main SCP database and the server. Part of my job at this time is to keep an eye on certain people that have previously violated that Code of Conduct that are Clearance 3 or higher and directly report these incidents to the O5 council. With both document-writing experience (and efficiency in producing them en masse) and familiarity with working in conjunction with the current O5 council, it would be a very easy transition into the job, enabling me to hit the ground running.

What are the responsibilities of Overseer Assistants in RP?:

The main responsibilities of an Overseer Assistant are to act as the eyes and ears for the O5 Council. They directly monitor the morale within the Foundation and keep a close eye on any ongoing situations that would involve the O5 Council or a potential violation of the Code of Conduct. Most of the day-to-day work for an Overseer Assistant would be to write up documents pertaining to said situations as well as conduct interviews with site administration, departmental staff workers, and other crucial personnel that keep the Foundation functional. This serves two purposes: keeping morale up by showing the O5's vested interest in the wellbeing of its staff, and pragmatically provide insight into any brewing problems that bubble under the surface which would otherwise go unnoticed.

The most important duty beyond everything stated above is that as an Overseer Assistant, you are required to complete any objective that the O5 Council tasks you to complete which must be followed to the letter. This can include literally any duty that O5 deems must be handled by their assistants, even if it seems ridiculous or out of one's league.

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

Gerrit Vander was born in Maastricht, Netherlands on [DATA EXPUNGED]. He showed an early aptitude for mathematics and Dutch grammar while attending basisschool. This early success would eventually elevate him to being an honor rolls student in a VWO Gymnasium school. This track would allow him to enter a university studying complex mathematics, with his desire set in studying unquantifiable infinities beyond ℵ0. However, if there was one fatal flaw that Gerrit Vander suffered was that he was prone to extreme fits of violence, especially when there was something that he could not quite grasp or if he determined that someone lied to him. Before he could ever fully graduate University, Vander was beset by several lawyers demanding retribution for medical fees incurred as a result of his tantrums. Facing potential jail time and financial ruin in the Netherlands, Vander took the last of his money and fled to the United States by stowing away on a Cargo ship and arriving at a port in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Unsatisfied with city life, Vander began to wander the countryside as a vagabound without visa before arriving in Grove City, Ohio. Finally, he decided to take the second biggest gamble of his life and enlist in the United States Army. Despite having no official birth certificate and only a poorly forged visa from a friend before leaving the Netherlands, he was accepted by the recruiter in Grove City and underwent basic training, where he finally found his calling as a warrior. He passed through Basic Training and Infantry School with flying colors and would eventually find himself in the 7th Infantry Division of the National Guard, volunteering for three active-duty tours to the Middle East where he became a decorated soldier, eventually making his way up the ranks to Staff Sergeant.

It was at this point where Vander suffered a horrendous accident, his Humvee flipping over as a result of hitting an IED while on patrol. Unconscious and unable to respond to external stimuli, Gerrit was airlifted by a helicopter to what he thought was a Red-Cross Hospital...

This would turn out to be wrong.

Upon waking up, Gerrit would find himself in a new place of which did not look like the inside of a tent, but rather a highly sophisticated medical facility; a medical facility which he would soon find out would be called Site-56. He would read the complimentary information packet left by his bedside as it filled him in on where he was and what he would be doing from now on. He would be a General Security Cadet and his new identity would be Erik Vander. Upset that he had no choice in the matter (and still slightly delirious from the painkillers) he would jolt from his bed when a man in a suit came to visit him. The man seemed unusually calm and instructed him to follow the orders of an awaiting GENSEC Captain outside the door. Although Vander was still worked up, something about this man seemed to blunt some of his vitriol and anger, bringing the violent man to a state much akin to the sharply dressed gentleman in front of him. Eventually, he would comply with the man in the suit, taking his few belongings and making his way to the GENSEC Captain waiting outside to take him through his training and duties.

As a GENSEC Cadet, he would excel in his new duties of escorting low-level researchers and dealing with Code-2 Riots in the D-Block to the best of his abilities, which would eventually earn him promotions and commendations, finding himself at the rank of Sergeant in the specialized riot teams employed by the Foundation to deal with severe Code-2 cases as well as assisting Mobile Task Force units with mild breaches. Although he loved working as a GENSEC agent, his ambition would get the better of him, deciding that he would seek advancement into a Mobile Task Force regiment. It wouldn't take much longer for him to be scouted of by MTF Nu-7 "Hammer Down." It was here in Mobile Task Force Nu-7 that he would earn his stripes and the respect of other Foundation Staff outside of his unit.

During his first briefing, Nu-7 Captain "Green" would run through mission steps to deal with the recently documented SCP-8854. He would run through the various nicknames/codenames that the other operatives bore. Finally, "Green" would look to Erik Vander and asked-

"Green": Are you the new soldier?
Vander: Yes, sir.
"Green": Thus meaning you do not have a nickname... hrm... where were you recruited? Militarily, I mean.
Vander: Grove City, sir.
"Green": Alright "Grover," listen up-


As an Nu-7 Operative, Erik "Grover" Vander would partake in many of the recent major operations undertaken by this heavily armored regiment that would respond to other catastrophic site breaches across Canada and the United States. In particular, Vander would find himself becoming very familiar with SCP-939 instances and how they are contained/dealt with should they breach. One particular operation he would undertake would be alongside Mobile Task Force Beta-5 during the [DATA EXPUNGED].

Erik "Grover" Vander was administered Class-B amnestics following the deployment.

Finally, as a Sergeant in Nu-7, he would be in charge of his own squad, of which he ran a tight ship of discipline and brutal efficiency when dealing with SCPs that would often appear near Site-56, including SCP-8854 and SCP-323. His efforts would not go unnoticed by both MTF Command and Site Command, having been quite vocal on the radio as well as delivering clear reports of ongoing situations, both mundane and Code-5 worthy. He finally found his calling and excelled at his work. Vander was happy. But yet, there was that voice near the back of his head that pestered him, taunting him that he could do better and advance further.

Almost on cue, the same well-dressed man who introduced him to the Foundation so many years ago came to him once more with an interesting proposition:

[?]: Your work has been exemplary, "Grover." Site Administration has been impressed by your work and efficiency in executing orders given to you.
"Grover": Thank you, sir. That means a lot coming from you.
[?]: What if I were to offer you a new job working closer to me? Well... not just me... but us.
"Grover": Us? You don't mean-... them?
[?]: Well, "Grover"? Do you accept?
"Grover": Of course, sir. I will take this opportunity and execute it with the efficiency it deserves.
[?]: Good choice, Assistant Erik "Grover" Vander
