Why are you applying for Director of Research?
I am applying for Director of Research for a couple of reasons. The first reason why I am applying for Director of Research is to finally take the Research Department out of the gutter. Previous of my time, Research Department was thriving with interesting test ideas, unique sub divisions, and activity was booming. Now, all of the test ideas are either sampling or some Jr. Researcher giving me a meme document, 3 subdivisions with 1 being Executives only, another only for the Director, and the other being for people who brought Dimensional Cartographer. It is safe to say that the research Department is "broken" and no one as of yet is able to fix this change until now. If I get the Director of Research Position, I will ensure that when individuals join the research department for the first time, they will have so much fun that they wouldn't want to do anything else.
The second reason I am applying for Director of Research is to have a voice within the whole of Site-65. In my time as an executive researcher, they have developed a reputation of being "mingy", less serious, not productive, and any synonyms related. As a result, people have begun to seriously underestimate the Executive Researchers and the Research Department as a whole because we had notable bad role models. I want to fix this image for my researchers and for myself as well. I want other Departments and MTF branches to see us not as mingy, but as creative, intelligent, and anything that establishes a great image for the Researchers.
The third and final reason I wish to apply for Director of Research so Researcher are able to freely express their ideas without being restricted. As an Executive Researcher, I have witnessed some beautiful individuals giving me their test ideas and giving me their documents to sign, but I had to turn them away because I "couldn't" give authorization. The best part about being a researcher is that you are able take your creative ideas and execute them, but one cannot do that if you can't get a Director of Research signature. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but one of our Directors was on permanent ROA and the other cannot pick up the slack. As such, less and less "risky" tests have gone ignored, forgotten, and dismantled because a Researcher could not get a simple signature. If I do become Director of Research, I want people to be as creative as possible and allow people to have fun with their tests within the Research Department.
What makes you suitable for Director of Research?:
There are a couple of reasons as to what makes me a better applicant than the rest for the Director of Research. The first reason is my immense dedication and work ethic to Executive Researcher. Since Executive Researcher is considered not a senior position, individuals who obtain this position are not stuck within the Research Department. As a result, they are able to explore other avenues/positions while maintaining Executive Researcher, resulting in multitasking between different jobs and roles. Thus, they will spend less and less time while on Executive Researcher to ensure they get enough playing time on other positions. This is not the case with me. Throughout my time on the server and Research Department, I have spent countless hours creating tests, signing off documents, created RP for the researchers, and a ton more activities. When I set my mind on something that I like to do, I continuously perform that activity and I have my sights set on Research Department and will continue to do so once I become Director of Research.
The second reason as to what makes me suitable is my immense S.C.P knowledge and how I applied that knowledge to my tests. Back in the day, I played a lot of S.C.P RP and only playing S.C.P related games like "S.C.P Secret Lab" and "S.C.P Containment Breach". As a result, I know the basic fundamentals of most if not all S.C.P on site and able to coherently explain what they do and how they operate to others. Furthermore, I am able to utilize this knowledge on my test ideas. Everytime I log onto my Executive Researcher position, I always come up with some unique test idea that involves most if not all Site-65 within my test. The Research Department is the Department to create RP situations for the players on this server and with my experience and knowledge of S.C.P, I am able to do just that.
The third and finaal reason is my immense leadership positions and overall RP postions on Garry's Mod. Back in the day, I have held numerous leadership positions and played multitudes of gmod RP servers to the point where it is second nature for me to know how to operate and perform in my role. From my experience, everyone sees you as a role model within the department, so your actions have to be the utmost professional, you will be held to a higher standard than everyone else in the department and most important of all, you have to give punishment when necessary. Not many people have the guts to give discipline when necessary as they don't want to burn bridges, they want to have everyone have fun, etc. The bottom line is you will face individuals who break rules, minge, or give the department a bad reputation and you have to be ready when that situation happens. From my previous leadership positions I have held, I had to punish people a lot and it sucks everytime you do it. It is a responsibility you have to get used to and I am already used to it.
What are the responsibilities of the Director of Research in RP?:
Responsibilities of the Director of Research is vast and broad, but there are some core responsibilities that must be performed at all times. The first one is to ensure the executive researchers are performing their responsibilities correct and to ensure the Research Department is running smoothly at all times. The second one is to relay any orders/directives given by superiors to the Research Department. It is crucial that communication from Site Adminstration and Site Command is relayed to Research so that everyone is on the same page. Another responsibility is to ensure all Research documents, procedures, and protocol is updated to modern times. It is tedious, but nesscary for all information related to research is up to date so Researchers are not given out of date information.
Please give some lore about your Director of Research character and what storylines they would be involved in:
Executive Researcher Ricardo Julius has been with the S.C.P Foundation for approximately a decade, 10 year anniversary in this nightmarish world. After he was promoted to Executive Researcher, he exclusively worked on 682 Termination attempts to kill the immortal lizard once and for all. Time after time, the lizard has bested Ricardo Julius's efforts into neutralized the monstrosity with some doing decent damage while others leading to a containment breach of SCP-682. As a result, Ricardo Julius is in a slump trying to look back in his personal research, S.C.P files, or anything that can kill this beat. Until one day, he had a marvelous plan. Ricardo has always believe that he has to be the one to come up with the idea of killing SCP-682, but what if it was another organization who dealt the final blow.
He immediately went to work getting the authorization for a research collaberation with the Global Occult Coalition, the organization who is hellbent on also terminating SCP-682. Under the ruse of the treaty to work together with the Research Department, Ricardo Julius would finally learn how the G.O.C is able to terminate anomolies so efficently. After trading research with G.O.C, Ricardo Julius finally had a test idea on terminate SCP-682 and it... works. After so many attempts later, SCP-682 was finally neutralized for good and Ricardo Julius got promoted to Director of Research as a result of this amazing achievement.
