What O5 Designation would you prefer (1-12) and what character?:

(Made up character.)

O5-7, The Warden.

Male, American descent. American origin. Physical appearance is consistent with age of 47. Carries a modified larynx speech aid device at all times. Appearance seems mundane. Item purpose appears mundane. Vocal imperfections and/or difficulty speaking suggested, though this is yet to be verified.

O5-7 communicates almost exclusively through the use of his most trusted assets. Agents and individuals from Alpha-1 and those he deems most trustworthy are amongst this list. Orders are given from his closest aid then passed on to the appropriate individuals. Despite such disconnection with the majority of most other members of the Foundation, he still attempts to do his very best to maintain some sort of physical presence within it's borders.

It is believed that this individual has had an extensive career within the Foundation before being recruited into the O5 Council. The exact details of such endeavors from the council are unknown. The role O5-7 plays appears to be that of an advocate for technological and thaumaturgical research, primarily the melding of the two. To what end is anyone's guess, however.

Have you read and understand the rules of SCP-RP?: Yes.

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 have taken on various leadership roles in the past which allow me the benefit of experience, enough so that I believe qualifies for the role of O5 in what would be tough situations requiring decisive decision making. Such roles have taught me the value of communication and teamwork amongst all things as well as making oneself heard amongst others around me, those others being players in roles lower down in the chain of command, equals or members of other GOI's. I treat each and every one of said individuals with respect and have always abided by the role that I am given in order to provide a unique and interesting roleplay experience for those that I interact with in that very moment.

I have had past experiences as a HOEA. This role had allowed me to tackle external threats and relationships to the foundation, managing agents within the external affairs department as well as directing field agents through the avid, appropriate use of communication. Additionally, I was once a member of the Ethics Committee, a department requiring a fundamental and professional understanding of the human resources department within the Foundation, the legal codex and their role within the organization.

The most recent role I have been whitelisted for is Site Director. Managing the site for the server will always be more than a simple task; often requiring constant supervision over all parts of the site via the use of Site Advisers and Foundation communications to ensure that everything is running smoothly on all ends of the site, whilst allowing those in power to perform their duties to the very best they can. Department heads and/or individuals that are deemed incompetent may require me to make the tough choice of punishment or demotion.

The roles that I have played and the experience I have accumulated are a testament as to the competent work that I may accomplish as a member of the O5 council. There is, of course the added benefit of my ability to direct task forces as needed without overstepping my bounds. These are as such, the many roles and qualities I can bring to the O5.

- Overall, these are the qualities I possess which make me a competent candidate:

- Patience

- Communication

- Teamwork

- Leadership

- Negotiations

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

To understand the role of Site Administration is the only logical method as to understanding the role of an Overseer and the Council they are apart of.

Site Administration.

Site Administration are the individuals in charge of maintaining the procedures and personnel within the Foundation. The Directors of the site are in-charge of each department within the Foundation, with each department head being obligated to report to the Director as necessary or if requested. Said Directors are in-charge of all activities that occur on-site, and there is never more than one per-site. Directors are aided by Advisers which may in turn be employed to relay orders and monitor other parts of the site as well as do what they namesake suggests, which is to advise.

Overseers.

Overseers, also known simply as O5's, are the most powerful individuals within the SCP Foundation, save the Administrator. Each O5 holds a position on a Council of 12, each with an assigned designation and general role that they perform to ensure the continued survival of the SCP Foundation as a whole, as opposed to a single site. Individuals of such power are often seen with their personal task force, A-1 Agents at almost all times.

Anything that occurs within the Foundation is known towards an Overseer, regardless of how mundane or extraordinary such activities may be. This in itself includes knowledge and material that could potentially endanger the Foundation and/or normalcy as we know it. Therefore, many Overseers tend to keep their distance from anomalous objects and testing sites. This does not mean they do not employ the use of anomalous materials and objects themselves though, to benefit their own survival or to employ a detrimental effect on their opponents.

Overseers often have unique and extraordinary circumstances placed on them which got them into the council in the first place, and many often have their records and dossiers kept tightly under lock and seal in order to protect their identities towards the rest of the Foundation and their enemies.

What is the O5 Council?

The O5 Council consists of 12 of the most powerful individuals within the SCP Foundation. Each member of the council was recruited via outstanding circumstances or extraordinary talents far exceeding that of an ordinary individual within the Foundation. This is all done via a majority and/or unanimous vote within the Council itself. With that being said, all major decisions within the Foundation are carried out via a voting system, with a 13th vote acting as a tiebreaker if need be. This vote and designation is often a temporary one, used in extraneous situations in which no solution or outcome has been garnered from a vote.

A simple way of thinking of the O5 Council is as the board of directors for the Foundation. These executives are in charge of paving the way for the safety and security of not only the SCP Foundation, but humanity and normalcy as we know it as a whole. It has been said that most Overseers have connections with governments worldwide including the Global Occult Coalition.

Are you currently head of a department (Job Manager), general staff in Nu-7 or a Site Director?: Site Director.

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