RP Information
Why are you applying for Site Advisor?
I am applying to become a Site Advisor as I have spent 2 months as the Commander of Nu-7 and I am ready to advance my SCP-RP career once more. It is my opinion that people who sit on their jobs and rest on their laurels are an epidemic and unintentionally cause decay and stagnation so that they may hold onto a title that they no longer deserve. 8 weeks is the perfect amount of time to show one's prowess in command potential and make desperately needed changes while cultivating a younger energy to take over and restart the cycle over again. I intend to take my leave as Nu-7 Commander, putting it in the hands of new subordinates who are younger and energized to take a crack at leadership, and put that energy towards a new project; that being to prove my mettle as Site Advisor. That energy would be dedicated to creating scenarios conducive to good RP; cooperating with the rest of Site Admin/Gamemasters to sponsor new events that the rest of Site-65 may take part in and putting that energy I once threw into my role as Commander into administrating my allotted role in Site Administration and bring it up to the peak efficiency that the job demands.
What makes you suitable for Site Administration?:
What makes me the best candidate for the Site Advisor role is that I have experience not just as a combative (which is not necessary), but also as a skilled administrator and inspirational role model. When I first became the Nu-7 Commander, I had 2 COs and an LTCOM to my name along with only 40 operatives of varying rank. Combating CI raids were near impossible with such low numbers and DEA had to bail us out on more than one occasion. Nu-7 was in a sorry state and was heavily demotivated. Now at the end of my 2-month tenure, Nu-7 has a full 10-person CO team with specialized roles and squadron leaders, 2 brand new squadrons who have each been fully staffed with 10-14 operatives at a time and earned praise across the site at one time or another, a robust and motivated NCO corps who has proven their leadership skills equal to that of my COs, a fully functional enlisted sector with an expert training corps to bring Privates by the hand all the way to Lance Corporal, and a full roster of 70 members at one time or another (this dips down occasionally due to general playtime attrition, but normally recovers quickly). And let's not mention the removal of the GRY SBR and the introduction of the HK 417 which has plagued Nu-7 since its inception. If that is not a complete success and proof of concept of my ability to lead, then I would be quite surprised.
It is my intention to carry that ability with me into SA and tackle the issues that I might encounter with that same determination and eagerness that I have demonstrated time and time again. As a Cl4 personnel, it is never good to rest on one's laurels and allow oneself to let things fall short as a result of demotivation, but rather to continue to drive forward with an unrelenting energy. Do I understand that I am human and do not always make the right decision? Yes, but that is a small price to pay for what is the crucial skills to becoming a good Site Advisor:
- Leadership
-Integrity
-Tenacity
(LIT)
What are the responsibilities of Site Administration in RP?:
Site Administration is responsible for overseeing the activities of E-11/Nu-7 and most department directors (not including IA). They are in charge of coordinating efforts to improve departments along with their department/MTF leadership and generally improve relations between SA and their subalterns. Site Administration is responsible for authorizing Advanced Armory, authorizing KOS past airlock, administrating the D-Class Work Program, and approving mass terminations when they're acceptable.
Site Advisors take orders from Site Managers, the Site Director, and the Site Command (O5/EC)
Lore Information
Please give some lore about your Site Administration 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-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. 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? In your previous occupation, 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.
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-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 threats with brutal efficiency. Having been given charge by Commander Sunari to create 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 succeeded, the regiment suffered. This would be his greatest challenge yet.
He was promoted to Commander by the Site Director in front of a demoralized regiment 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 put 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 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 regiment'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.
He knew not that he was being quietly observed. A site advisor of Site-65 was tasked to quietly observe the new Commander of Nu-7. Site Advisor "Deftone" Reznor kept a file on Commander "Grover". Upon hearing of the Commander's promise to soon step down from his leadership position, these documents were forwarded to the Site Director's Office. A meeting was held with the rest of Site Administration soon after.
The Commander sat in his bunks enjoying a cigarette. He knew that if he was caught with this, he would receive a violation for unprofessional conduct. But he did not care. At least, he did not care until members of Nu-7 Squadron "Devil's Third Eye" burst into his bunks. "Grover" quickly snuffed out his cigarette as he stood up, startled by the intrusion. Major "War" held out a file to "Grover" that he was to be brought before the Site Director for questioning. An arrest warrant.
"Grover" was bewildered and attempted to flee. The last thing he saw was a rifle stock striking him across the face. Everything went black.
Most did not know that he was taken. All the rest of Nu-7 saw was the remnants of their Commander's body armor still scattered on the floor of his bunk. They could not find their Commander. Always eager to take action, Major Mayuri lead a contingent of Nu-7 Squadron "Puppeteers" to the Site Director's office to report the absence of their Commander.
It was then that their Commander stepped out from the Director's office, but he didn't seem quite the same.
He was in a grey-black striped suit, a red tie, and bore a horrible bruise on his right cheek.
"Lunaro": Congratulate your new Site Advisor, Erik "Grover" Vander.
