For how long have you played on CG SCP:
I have been actively playing on CG's iteration of SCP-RP since Late July/Early August of 2022. I don't exactly remember my exact join date, unfortunately. However, I played actively up until December 2023 when I took a break until recently coming back at the start of February of 2025.

Have you received any kicks/bans/warning? and why?:
To my knowledge, I have received 4 warnings during my stay here at Site 65 (formerly Site 56). In two cases, they were for either Job Abuse or FearRP breach, which both happened while I was a relatively new player and still getting acclimated to the server. The other case was an RDM warning when I shot one of my own guys for shooting around garage wildly when he wasn't supposed to. This warning was dealt under dubious circumstances, but nevertheless it is a warning. Recently I had one warning for hitbox abuse when I was crouching to avoid an SCP-076 swing.
I have never been kicked/banned for any reason on SCP-RP USA.
RP Information
How long have you been a Senior Agent for?:
Recently, I have been a Senior Agent for about 2 weeks. However, in the past I was a prior Senior Agent for a few months which I would play quite a bit.
Why are you applying for Special Agent?:
I am applying for Special Agent because I want to continue being an asset to surface by expanding my knowledge into the public relations side of my skillset. While I have a ton of experience in combat (which will be useful for DEA) I do not have as much expertise when negotiating or dealing with the diplomatic side of GoI relations. This is something I hope to improve on upon becoming Special Agent and learning on the job. In addition, as a Cl4 I'll have more ability to organize DEA during low pop when there aren't any other higher Cl4s around to assist.
What makes you suitable for Special Agent?:
I am suitable for the position of Special Agent because I have familiarity with handling larger operations on surface. As a former Nu-7 Commander, it was my responsibility to directly manage a significant amount of manpower both during peak hours and off hours. While I was not the face of diplomacy (as that responsibility was kept to DEA) I was still tasked with maintaining relations with GOC and Pinewood, giving me valuable insight into negotiating with GOC and keeping Pinewood pacified during stressful situations. In addition, as an Overseer Assistant, I have duties to write and submit documents directly to the O5 council, which gives me sufficient document-writing experience. This will be useful when dealing with interrogations or writing reports about diplomatic standings (or treaties).
How many documents have you written? What makes a document good?:
It's hard to say as I have been an Overseer Assistant multiple times over a wide span of time, but I would say I have written about 20 documents in total while on the job. For me, a good document uses a wide contrast of text that is well formatted. The solid and dotted lines are your friend when separating different sections (as well as using the small text instead of the paragraph text). In addition, an eye-catching front page with a relevant image goes a long way to making the document that much more impressive for minimal effort. In essence, it's all about presentation, not just content (although that's important too).
What are the responsibilities of a Special Agent in RP?
The primarily responsibility of a Special Agent is to act as a role model for all Agents/Senior Agents underneath and lead by example as well as authority. More specifically, some duties for Special Agent include:
Training new agents/operatives
Negotiate with GoIs on behalf of the foundation
Issue permits to MC&D
Assist in diplomatic efforts with GOC/lead them in the absence of higher command.
Lore Information
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. He would eventually enter University studying complex mathematics, with his desire set in studying unquantifiable infinities beyond ℵ0. However, if there was one flaw that Gerrit Vander suffered, it was that he was prone to extreme fits of violence, especially 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 before arriving in Grove City, Ohio. Finally, he decided to take the second biggest gamble of his life, enlisting 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 flipped 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-65. 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. Enraged that he had no choice in the matter (and still slightly delirious from the painkillers) he would jolt from his bed and prepared for a fight. However, as he clenched his fists, a man in a suit came into the room and called him by name. 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 his vitriol and anger, bringing him to a calmer state much more 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.
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. He would find 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 assist 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 long for him to be scouted out by MTF Nu-7 "Hammer Down." It was here in 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 the mission protocols 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": That means you do not have a code name. This will not do... hm... Where did the military even find you, private?
Vander: Grove City, sir.
"Green": Alright "Grover," listen up-
As an Nu-7 Operative, Erik "Grover" Vander would partake in several deployments tasked to this heavily armored battalion, often responding to other catastrophic site breaches across Canada and the United States. He would quickly 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 after the battalion received a distress call about a PALISADE RAMPANT BEAST scenario in [DATA EXPUNGED]. He was deployed as a forward element of Nu-7, relieving Mobile Task Force Beta-5 "Babysitters" during the [DATA EXPUNGED].
Erik "Grover" Vander was administered Class-B amnestics following the deployment.
As a Sergeant in Nu-7, he would be in charge of his own squad, of which he ran a tight ship. This discipline was the deciding factor for successfully dealing with SCPs that would often appear near Site-65, 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. These efforts by Vander would be rewarded with an official Commission to the CO team of Nu-7 "Hammer Down," thus also granting him access to Clearance 4 information.
From his commission as Lieutenant to an eventual Major promotion, he would lead several successful surface conflicts against the Chaos Insurgency with brutal efficiency. Having been given charge by Commander Sunari to synthesize and administer combat drugs to the operatives of Nu-7 under his command, his platoon would prove their worth in combat and bring in a daily haul of CI termination reports to be filed away in the Nu-7 archives. But even as Vander's platoon succeeded, the battalion suffered. This would be his greatest challenge yet.
He was promoted to Commander by the Site Director in front of a demoralized battalion that was half-strength and sagging in discipline. His first mission was to secure his position by promoting an extremely competent team of COs gleaned from the NCO/Enlisted sector of whom he met during his time as an operative and putting them to work. The creation of the Puppeteers under Sergeant Major "Second" and the Devil's Third Eye under Major "War" allowed an outlet for the new operatives of Nu-7 to show their specialized skills. The NCO corps was reorganized to allow them more freedom to show their own initiative rather than fulfill arbitrary and disconnected deadlines. Finally, under the watchful eye of Major "Expedition", Captain "Sham", Captain "Echo", and Lieutenant "Mac," a successful basic training program was finally put in place to allow those new operatives to train side by side with the battalion's best and give them a pathway forward in their career to eventually become a fine-tuned killing machine. These changes did not happen overnight, but over time, these reforms would take hold and prove to Nu-7's detractors that the regiment deserved its place at Site-65.
Yet the Commander was not flawless. No matter how hard he worked or how hard he pushed himself, he was still susceptible to doubt and human error.
The Code Black siren blared overhead as all quarantine bulkheads shut down to contain an SCP-008 outbreak. Yet it was futile. Failure to adhere to protocol by some foundation personnel allowed the instances to breach surface and begin infecting Pinewood at a rapid rate. The veil of secrecy was lifted and those that were still alive were doomed to utter destruction at the hands of this "Zombie Virus." Seeing no alternative, the Commander of Nu-7 and the General of the GOC both authorized a bombing campaign of Pinewood, levelling the town and giving the Foundation enough breathing room to mop up the remaining instances and allow the town to slowly repopulate. Erik saw this as necessary to keep the world safe from SCP-008, but nonetheless, the deaths of so many weighed heavily upon his consciousness. Those people were already doomed to die, right? Surely there was no way for them to escape... but could he have done more to help them? Was there a better option?
"Grover" sat in his bunks distraught. He didn't have the heart to face his soldiers after the massacre he had just forced them to partake in. They comforted him, assuring that what he did was right, but he could not shake this self-flagellating feeling of regret.
It was right about then that the door opened.
It was him, the man in the suit; that was the man who brought him to the foundation so many years ago. He recognized that smile anywhere. The man politely inclined his head as he gently gestured away the surrounding Nu-7 operatives. Two members of the [DATA EXPUNGED] task force came in with the suited man this time. There was no mistaking it, this man was a member of the [DATA EXPUNGED]. This was his demise; he was to be executed for his decision to bomb Pinewood.
The suited man continued to smile in a way that unnerved the Commander as he gestured for the door to be closed behind them. Those Nu-7 operatives waiting at the entrance of the door expected to hear a gunshot that would signal the death of their Commander.
Yet none came.
As a matter of fact, their Commander walked out of that room alive and well, though with some slight alterations. Instead of body armor, he wore a flak vest. Instead of a SOPMOD, he wielded an AS VAL.
Instead of a Hammer, his armor bore the letters D.E.A.
