What O5 Designation would you prefer (1-12) and what character?: O5-4 "The Ambassador" would be my preferred designation and name. Otherwise, any open slot.

 

How do you initiate a lockdown/unlockdown?: /lockdown to initiate, /unlockdown to do the opposite!

 

How do you Initiate a nuke?:

Call an Admin+ with good reason! Good reason would be, for example, if there is a mass outbreak of 008 II on the surface alongside, say for example, additional SCP's that would require extensive resources to recapture and/or terminate without harming civilian and/or Foundation personnel.

 

Have you read and understand the rules of SCP-RP?: Yep!

 

Why do you believe you should be part of the O5 Council and what can you bring to the role e.g (Pressure in extreme situations, making the tough decisions):

I believe I possess the qualities needed to make a competent O5 council member, such as quick, on the spot decision making in tough situations. An example of this could be an intense verbal conflict between the GOC and the Foundation over a potentially dangerous object in which the GOC wishes to destroy it whereas our goals are to study and contain it. Allowing for diplomat of sorts between the two parties would ease tensions, allow for easier communication between the organisations as well as a result that benefits both parties peacefully and without difficulties.

I have experience as a member aboard the Ethics Committee & as Head of External Affairs to back these claims up. The Ethics department concerns itself with the proper management of resources, human and otherwise, as long as they belong to the foundation, whereas the External Affairs department deals with interactions between GOI's, civilians, anomalies and the enactment of Protocol 12. As such, it's more often than not that I often speak to people performing a variety of duties, regardless of if they are an MTF, Security, Researcher, etc. I am a conversationalist.

Having these roles means that I should be able to make the 'tough decision', even if it may not be the right one. I follow a policy when it comes to making certain, difficult decisions: "Make a decision, even if it's not the right one. It's better than not making one at all." It conditions the mind to learn from past mistakes to mitigate any mistakes in the future. After-all, you can only learn if you make mistakes. These tough decisions includes the demotion of personnel as ECM for breaching security protocol or wasting resources, or simply punishment.

Additionally, as a member of the Ethics Committee, I often have O-1, Law's Left Hand to assist me in any dealings that I require or at least bring attention to them something that concerns them. Micromanaging MTF forces that are relevant to the situation is something that I enjoy and I believe I am fairly decent at doing. This should be a necessary quality for a competent leader.

Overall, I possess these qualities:

- Decision Making

- Negotiation

- Micromanaging resources / MTF

- Experience with HOEA & Ethics

- Patience

 

I would also like to note that i'm often seen playing as either ECM, TSH or site Admin and have since increased (I think? lol), my activity on the server!

 

 

Can you explain what an O5 does for the foundation and the site itself and why he himself differs from any other site Adminstration?:

An Understanding of Site Administration:

Site Administration consists of individuals such as the Ethics Committee, Directors, Advisers and the Head of External Affairs, etc. Each of these individuals performs tasks surrounding their own capabilities as competent members of the SCP foundation per-site. The Director manages the site, MTF, researchers and allocates tasks to his advisers, which in turn communicate towards the lower echelons of the hierarchy and report back as needed.

The Ethics Committee concerns itself with resource management and the law, whereas the External Affairs department indulges itself with external activities such as GOI's, conversion of GOI members, interactions with civilians, disinformation and protocol 12. All members of Site Administration carry out their jobs. Nothing more.

An Understanding of an O5

The O5 oversees all of these activities from his seat on the council. Perhaps he or she is assigned a department to oversee. Sometimes they'll visit the site as an envoy for said department under an alias along with an armed escort of A1 Agents. Regardless of what they do, each O5 has a particular skillset which makes him far more valuable and intellectually competent than your average Administration member. Anything that occurs within the site and all other sites is known towards the O5 council and each member performs far beyond the capabilities of the lower echelons purely due to their skillset in whatever it is that they are proficient in.

As the literal 'board of Directors' for the foundation, they've the ability to grant, authorise or otherwise deny anything that goes within the foundation for the greater good of the foundation, it's personnel and for the safety of those on the surface to continue the illusion of normalcy. With this importance, they often stay away from any anomalies at all times and generally tend to keep out of sight from other personnel due to the potentially hazardous knowledge that each member aboard the council contains.

 

What is the O5 Council?:

The O5 council consists of, officially, 12 individuals selected for their intellectual prowess or some other particularly outstanding trait via a majority vote of consensus from all other current members of the council. If this is not possible, it is said that the Administrator is able to assist in developing a new council. There is, however, an O5-13, which is simply a designation given to an existing member of the council to act as a means of making a decision in otherwise implausible situations where the council is unable to come to a conclusion concerning something important. This, however, is simply a theory.

The O5 council acts as the literal executives towards the foundations and all of it's sites, able to pass laws, change policies and are able to do anything in their power to ensure the safety of humanity and those under their employment as long as anomalies are contained, studied and protected from humanity. To perform their task unhindered, it is said that some O5's have connections with official governments and the Global Occult Coalition in order to perform the Foundations activities unhindered.

 

Explain what makes you special:

I suppose something that makes me special is my willingness to speak to others as well as the ability to differentiate between roleplay and OOC contexts. Sometimes there might be a situation where someone could get mad over an IC situation (which is understandable), but at the same time it is a video game afterall. Knowing when to step back, take a breacher and get a snack or something is important in keeping a cool head in roleplay servers and the whatnot.

 

What Departement would you like to focus on? (Research, Mobile Task Forces, Ethics,...):

Ethics / Security

I have enjoyed, and still enjoy role playing with Carson. I believe that he has developed and grown since his last application in all positive ways.

I believe that you deserve at least a chance on the council.

Best of regards,

O5-11 "The Liar"

"Uh sir... can I just ask, why are you tearing up my Application...?"

"Are you planning to use this again?"

"No, no.."

"Then see this as a mark that once you're with us, you aren't going away. You sure you're up for the job?"

"..."

"I'll take that as a yes! Step inside into the room, and close the door behind you, that's the only thing between you and the rest.. If you get what I mean."

"Oh and one last thing, I suppose I should stamp whatever left of your application to get that final moral boost, you're  going to need it! Trust me.."
