Dear L.S.:                                        
My official name [RP name] is...:  Avery Winters                   
My Online Identities [Steam Name & Discord Name] are...:  DLEtna#1630   
My Library Card Signature [SteamID] is...: STEAM_0:0:87998391
The time I have spent inside of the Library [Playtime] is...: 3w 2d 12h                                                      
(Arc Story for the Character “Avery Winters”)               
My story about finding the Library & The Serpent's Hand starts with…: 
Myself, sitting in the Wanderers Library in a self-imposed imprisonment for when I fear leaving the confines of this library would result in my death. My former station in life was a Researcher of the SCP Foundation. I wasn’t greeted kindly when I arrived as I held myself with bloodied arms donning a Foundation Lab Coat. 
 
My story isn’t a intriguing nor unique tale. As there is a long line of turncoats from the Foundation such as Ms Claire Pierce. I’m sure that you're familiar with the concept of Whistleblowing? Albeit it was not done out of the most noble intentions, merely that my hand was forced by the actions of others. 
 
I stand before you as a member of the Internal Security Department. An agent whom kept the Foundation turning despite the price. Most men have their limits. For me, it was when my employer had stolen my identity. My name. 
 
(OOC Note: Do note that i intend to follow server ruling on uniforms despite backstory) 
 
I know a lot about The Serpent's Hand such as...: 
 
Whom you dub as the “Jailors” which is quite a fitting name. This is what I've pulled from the passing visitors of this library within the first minutes of my arrival.
 
This also explains these mysterious markings I've found across my travels. One of your cohorts dropped this by the way. Although considering the nature of your group I don’t think this is too sensitive to end up in my hands. 
 
From merely asking a passby, The Serpent’s Hand is merely a collective from my view. People with aligning ideologies, which is that the supernatural should not be repressed which is the direct opposite to the Foundation's mission statement. 
 
Initially I thought you held ownership over the Wanderer's Library however I was informed that you rediscovered the library recently in 1967 which is remarkably recent. The library is a wonder within itself. This is also where I was informed about “ways” and that the nature of “ways” means that your collective are mere users of  Wanderer’s Library like others which explained the previous point. 
          
I inquired about leadership but got mixed responses. No clear leadership implies this collective is somewhat akin to the Chaos Insurgency. I also heard about criteria which is ”a willingness to consider oneself a member of the Hand”. Sounds nonsense to me. If i was to proclaim myself a member of this collective and boldly shout this out. Would passersby take me seriously?  
 
I round off my answer addressing the person I pen this letter towards. I’ve heard a great deal about you. A person that wishes to achieve the ideals envisioned by the collective with a direct approach. I think true membership is attained through action and will.              
I would describe myself as...:    
Shrewd and somewhat suspicious of others. I believe I could be akin to the King of Wei “Cao Cao”. I do believe in the famous quote that “I would rather betray the world, than let the world betray me”. 
But wouldn’t that be foolish to openly admit that to others? I should’ve instead claimed that I was akin to Liu Bei. Compassionate, honorful and duty bound. They are rare in supply. 
Yes.. I've been reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms in order to pass the time. It’s quite riveting. Specifically the ending..
I end my answer stating that I'm merely an actor. Molding and fitting the part when required. Whatever it takes to keep me going. It’s how the Three Kingdoms became one. For no-one saw Sima Yi coming for he concealed his true power from others. 
For no-one sees a hidden dragon approaching. A man that i aspire to be.     
My intentions when I joined The Serpent's Hand was...:  
Out of mere self-preservation and for mere privilege of maintaining an acceptable living standard than begging from the visitors of the library. I sit here thinking that I would become akin to what Julian Assange was for when he was confined to that Ecuadorian embassy.  
It’s easy to subscribe to a set of ideals. To wave and march under a flag created by others. But it takes a true man to admit what lurks within his heart. To make a stance and yell it from the rooftops.   
I make a plea to you that you would permit me to carve out my own path in life free from the will of others. As do you wish to remake the world in your ideals. One that is free from suppression and tyranny. As our goals align I believe my statement rings truer than the words of others.

Speaking as an O5 Council Member, i'm going to outline some harsh truths and words of advice.
In my personal opinion, A harsh truth of Applications in general is that they are heavily reputation based. I'm yet to see an app for anything (staff, whitelisting, unban apps) that takes a medicore repped peson into inspiring levels of let this guy in. Or i could be blind. "Sometimes what you see, is not what others see.." Hence you should probably to try to understand what others are perceiving like i am. I've witnessed the stuggles of such ailments plus enviormental factors therefore i'm personally taking the time out to write these words for you. I implore you to not take this as a step down. Instead to take a stand on those two feets of yours cuz that's what will make you better person.
 
Sidetip: Use pages in apps, makes for less a wall of text and much more digestible for reading. [Like here! ;p]

Your Age: 19      
Your In-Game Playtime: 1 week 2 days      
Your amount of warnings (15 Warnings max):  1 Warning in 21-11-2019 for FailRP
     
Rate your roleplaying skills: Above average, i’d say.
 
 
         
What would you like your O5 Designation to be?:
 
[Please Note!] : I have a custom story arc related to my server character “Avery Winters” however I am willing to play an established O5 Council member.
 
1)  O5-12:  “The Hanged Man”, or “The Tower” (A story arc for the character “Avery Winters”)
 
Link to the story arc : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IAKHWeO9RxAj6XQbOAxzPNyO_bJRPkhbHd4Uf1WLEUM/edit?usp=sharing
 
2)   O5-8: "The Newbie", or "The Lesser"
 
 
     
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 further elaborate on why I want to be part of the Council in the final question. A short synopsis is that I think of events during roleplay like a full chain with each link added on by a person. I believe what I can bring to the table is my writing skills. To harness my creativity in creating situations or resolving situations. An example of my writing skills can be seen in the custom story arc I've written for my personal character.
 
I do acknowledge that having only 9 days of playtime on the server compared weeks from what i can tell from other successful O5 applicants. However I believe my time on ISD and as CI Infiltrator has given me enough insight on the server as a whole.  I practically know how most job functions and how GOIs interact with each other.  
 
Regarding “Pressure in extreme situations and making the tough decisions”. This can be answered in one statement. 
 
Time. It may be against us but you can count it and use it. If there wasn’t any time at all (mostly in range of 3 seconds) then the decision was that “you couldn’t make a decision in time as it wasn’t humanly possible to do so”. It now boils down to how you use that time. How do you gain critical info in a timely manner? How to coordinate a solution or test a theory to confirm it? It can then be boiled to individual skill sets such as time management, stress resistance and logical thinking.
 
Now i won’t claim to be the best at any particular skill set but given let's say nine years on working with these skill sets. I would at least possess a great deal of insight on these skill sets. 
 
      
     
How many O5 Council Members are there in the SCP universe that are known but not on record?:
 
The widespread acceptance is that there are 13 designations with minor distinctions and that it is a council to begin with.  Notably, O5-13 is considered to be a “person” that acts as a tiebreaker however that person doesn’t exist. It is a tool that is rotated across its members to give the illusion of a thirteen individual that breaks stalemates. 
There is a veil of secrecy around the members and the numbers of said members. To prevent it from becoming a cutthroat bloodbath. As to identify a member would be to allow a possible forceful removal of one of the thirteenth seats of power. Plus the fluidic nature of lore plus disinformation.   
 
Can you explain what an O5 does for the foundation and the site itself and why he himself differs from any other site administration?:
 
“No man rules alone” - Quote from CGP Grey “The Rules for Rulers” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs
 
Hierarchy is important as one person cannot do everything. Even for the rare unicorns that are multi-talented that sometimes appear in the world. They are still one person with two hands and one mind. One person generally is specialised in one field (perhaps two, or even three). This is why we have multiple internal departments (See under: http://www.scp-wiki.net/list-of-foundation-s-internal-departments). The O5 Council are the visionaries that set the goals and targets for the Foundation. They are at the front of line that pave the path on how they achieve the mission statement.  From making final decisions on greater anomalies that have a large scale affect. To resolve issues that threaten the mission statement of the corporation as whole.
 
The Site Director differs as they hold the position to “direct a site”. It can easily be boiled down that the Site Director purpose is to run the site whilst the O5 Council is instructing them on how to run it. Comparable to a shopping chain (like ASDAs or Sainburys or whatever shopping chain). The Regional Manager (comparable to a Site Director) is to run a shop ensuring that they are selling goods to the customers.  The CEOs at the top (comparable to the O5 Council) tell the Regional Manager how to run it by setting prices so that they may compete with other shops and drawing up a uniform policy so that they may maintain the shop’s brand.
    
Explain what makes you special:
 
I suppose my perception and drive for roleplay. I would also add on my skill as a writer although that can be subjective. What i do believe that makes me special is my background in roleplay as it allowed me to hone my charisma and wit. Natural skills for a leader. That and my acting skills. I have proven that I can show investment in a character as demonstrated with my custom story arc. Lastly, a good leader should always know his limits. What I can't and definitely is unable to do. In those cases, I would seek council on those that can make up for my shortcomings.  
     
How do you initiate a nuke?:
 
Getting the out-of-character answer out of the way, they seem to be triggered by event staff therefore I will have to get permission from them. For the roleplay answer, it depends on the situation and a variety of factors. After any number attempts to avoid the nuclear option. I present two cases.
 
If we are detonating a nuclear warhead on the surface targeting the Citizens of Ovis City. A plan will be drawn up where Alpha-1 will be tasked to insert the nuke within the center of the city. This ensures the maximum damage as a warhead flying over the city is detectable and gives time to the citizens. Ensuring that wireless operation is functional. The two activators as nuclear systems are usually armed and detonated with two operators ensure correct usage will have their respective launch codes transmitted or given to them. After getting the confirmation that Alpha-1 has been extracted. The nuke will be armed and detonated.
 
If the Alpha Warhead under the site is detonated. A call for Critical Foundation personnel to be summoned to the Entrance Zone then taken to the surface will be made. This disguises it as an Evacuation Order to prevent panic. Again, two operators will arm and start the countdown for the detonation of the warhead. This is by entering the Nuclear Room under Entrance Zone with a Clearance 5 card. Then an Evacuation Order will be made for all personnel to evacuate the site. HCZ and LCZ will be sealed in order to prevent SCP breaches.
 
In the final minutes of the countdown, a remote speech transmitted down the announcement system will be made either by the Site Director or Myself. In which I offer my condolences and thank any of those trapped in HCZ and LCZ for their services.        
     
What are the rules a O5 Council member has to follow?: 
 
Maintain a false identity, only Alpha-1 can know your identity. They will help enforce the false identity. Which is that I will pose as a Site Advisor. Maintain the chain of command. The Site Director is still directing the site, until he stops directing it. Then step in.   O5 isn’t above the server administration and even misconduct themselves. A king can still be impeached plus demotions require a valid reason. O5 are deemed Class A Personnel therefore shouldn’t be in hazardous areas such as HCZ/LCZ. They should also be attended by an armed escort at most times. Logically he should strive for solutions that maximise resources and minimise losses. However he should accept the human element and be willing to accept counsel from others.   
Why would you like to role play as an O5?:
 
Take an example situation, I think of events like a long chain with each link added on by a person. Take a simple containment breach. 173 breaches, kills a bunch of security personnel, then is recontained by E-11, end of chain.
 
But people are free to add onto this chain. Instead 173 breaches but due to CI infiltrators, it goes onto to kill a bunch of security personnel, ISD identify one of the CI infiltrators as a security guard, This causes an internal crisis causing Security Department to fire on each other, CI free more SCPs, multiple MTFs tries to restore order but sustain heavy casualties from both hostile Security on site and SCPs, The O5s ponder the nuclear option but settle for the daring option to terminate all security guards regardless of loyalty, Epilsion-11 recontain the SCPs and Nu-7 capture a few CIs, O5s find out that the Site Director was in on the breach and he was purged, Security is tightened on the Foundation as whole with ISD having a field day. End of Chain
 
Now focus on “The O5s ponder the nuclear option but settle for the daring option to terminate all security guards regardless of loyalty”. What if they detonated the nuke. They wouldn't have found out that the Site Director was in on it if he had been blown up. The value of an O5 is that they are often the starts or ends of chains. Think of it the other way around.
 
After the Security Protocols enacted by the O5, Personnel view the measures as a whole to be invasive, The Ethics Committee weigh in on it calling the measures invasive, This leads to a back an… You get the picture.
 
For me, I want to be more involved and to be given a chance to add to the roleplay of this community. Jobs have their purposes.  I personally enjoy playing the jobs with hidden agendas. Which is why seized opportunities when tryouts for ISD and CI Infiltrators came up. Which led to me maintaining whitelisting for these positions.
 
I enjoyed these positions, roleplaying as the man with hidden intentions.    
 
Closing Statement:
 
I end with saying that I have not been seen much on Foundation Administration. Therefore I will be no lifeing on Site Advisor (mostly) and Site Director (if possible) to demonstrate my administrative capabilities. 
 
I thank all those who have read to the end and accept any forms of criticism.

If the Alpha Warhead under the site is detonated. A call for Critical Foundation personnel to be summoned to the Entrance Zone then taken to the surface will be made. This disguises it as an Evacuation Order to prevent panic. Again, two operators will arm and start the countdown for the detonation of the warhead. This is by entering the Nuclear Room under Entrance Zone with a Clearance 5 card. Then an Evacuation Order will be made for all personnel to evacuate the site. HCZ and LCZ will be sealed in order to prevent SCP breaches.
 
In the final minutes of the countdown, a remote speech transmitted down the announcement system will be made either by the Site Director or Myself. In which I offer my condolences and thank any of those trapped in HCZ and LCZ for their services.        
     
What are the rules a O5 Council member has to follow?: 
 
Maintain a false identity, only Alpha-1 can know your identity. They will help enforce the false identity. Which is that I will pose as a Site Advisor. Maintain the chain of command. The Site Director is still directing the site, until he stops directing it. Then step in.   O5 isn’t above the server administration and even misconduct themselves. A king can still be impeached plus demotions require a valid reason. O5 are deemed Class A Personnel therefore shouldn’t be in hazardous areas such as HCZ/LCZ. They should also be attended by an armed escort at most times. Logically he should strive for solutions that maximise resources and minimise losses. However he should accept the human element and be willing to accept counsel from others.   
Why would you like to role play as an O5?:
 
Take an example situation, I think of events like a long chain with each link added on by a person. Take a simple containment breach. 173 breaches, kills a bunch of security personnel, then is recontained by E-11, end of chain.
 
But people are free to add onto this chain. Instead 173 breaches but due to CI infiltrators, it goes onto to kill a bunch of security personnel, ISD identify one of the CI infiltrators as a security guard, This causes an internal crisis causing Security Department to fire on each other, CI free more SCPs, multiple MTFs tries to restore order but sustain heavy casualties from both hostile Security on site and SCPs, The O5s ponder the nuclear option but settle for the daring option to terminate all security guards regardless of loyalty, Epilsion-11 recontain the SCPs and Nu-7 capture a few CIs, O5s find out that the Site Director was in on the breach and he was purged, Security is tightened on the Foundation as whole with ISD having a field day. End of Chain
 
Now focus on “The O5s ponder the nuclear option but settle for the daring option to terminate all security guards regardless of loyalty”. What if they detonated the nuke. They wouldn't have found out that the Site Director was in on it if he had been blown up. The value of an O5 is that they are often the starts or ends of chains. Think of it the other way around.
 
After the Security Protocols enacted by the O5, Personnel view the measures as a whole to be invasive, The Ethics Committee weigh in on it calling the measures invasive, This leads to a back an… You get the picture.
 
For me, I want to be more involved and to be given a chance to add to the roleplay of this community. Jobs have their purposes.  I personally enjoy playing the jobs with hidden agendas. Which is why seized opportunities when tryouts for ISD and CI Infiltrators came up. Which led to me maintaining whitelisting for these positions.
 
I enjoyed these positions, roleplaying as the man with hidden intentions.    
 
Closing Statement:
 
I end with saying that I have not been seen much on Foundation Administration. Therefore I will be no lifeing on Site Advisor (mostly) and Site Director (if possible) to demonstrate my administrative capabilities. 
 
I thank all those who have read to the end and accept any forms of criticism.

What would you like your O5 Designation to be?:
 
[Please Note!] : I have a custom story arc related to my server character “Avery Winters” however I am willing to play an established O5 Council member.
 
1)  O5-12:  “The Hanged Man”, or “The Tower” (A story arc for the character “Avery Winters”)
 
Link to the story arc : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IAKHWeO9RxAj6XQbOAxzPNyO_bJRPkhbHd4Uf1WLEUM/edit?usp=sharing
 
2)   O5-8: "The Newbie", or "The Lesser"
 
 
     
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 further elaborate on why I want to be part of the Council in the final question. A short synopsis is that I think of events during roleplay like a full chain with each link added on by a person. I believe what I can bring to the table is my writing skills. To harness my creativity in creating situations or resolving situations. An example of my writing skills can be seen in the custom story arc I've written for my personal character.
 
I do acknowledge that having only 9 days of playtime on the server compared weeks from what i can tell from other successful O5 applicants. However I believe my time on ISD and as CI Infiltrator has given me enough insight on the server as a whole.  I practically know how most job functions and how GOIs interact with each other.  
 
Regarding “Pressure in extreme situations and making the tough decisions”. This can be answered in one statement. 
 
Time. It may be against us but you can count it and use it. If there wasn’t any time at all (mostly in range of 3 seconds) then the decision was that “you couldn’t make a decision in time as it wasn’t humanly possible to do so”. It now boils down to how you use that time. How do you gain critical info in a timely manner? How to coordinate a solution or test a theory to confirm it? It can then be boiled to individual skill sets such as time management, stress resistance and logical thinking.
 
Now i won’t claim to be the best at any particular skill set but given let's say nine years on working with these skill sets. I would at least possess a great deal of insight on these skill sets. 
 
      
     
How many O5 Council Members are there in the SCP universe that are known but not on record?:
 
The widespread acceptance is that there are 13 designations with minor distinctions and that it is a council to begin with.  Notably, O5-13 is considered to be a “person” that acts as a tiebreaker however that person doesn’t exist. It is a tool that is rotated across its members to give the illusion of a thirteen individual that breaks stalemates. 
There is a veil of secrecy around the members and the numbers of said members. To prevent it from becoming a cutthroat bloodbath. As to identify a member would be to allow a possible forceful removal of one of the thirteenth seats of power. Plus the fluidic nature of lore plus disinformation.   
 
Can you explain what an O5 does for the foundation and the site itself and why he himself differs from any other site administration?:
 
“No man rules alone” - Quote from CGP Grey “The Rules for Rulers” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs
 
Hierarchy is important as one person cannot do everything. Even for the rare unicorns that are multi-talented that sometimes appear in the world. They are still one person with two hands and one mind. One person generally is specialised in one field (perhaps two, or even three). This is why we have multiple internal departments (See under: http://www.scp-wiki.net/list-of-foundation-s-internal-departments). The O5 Council are the visionaries that set the goals and targets for the Foundation. They are at the front of line that pave the path on how they achieve the mission statement.  From making final decisions on greater anomalies that have a large scale affect. To resolve issues that threaten the mission statement of the corporation as whole.
 
The Site Director differs as they hold the position to “direct a site”. It can easily be boiled down that the Site Director purpose is to run the site whilst the O5 Council is instructing them on how to run it. Comparable to a shopping chain (like ASDAs or Sainburys or whatever shopping chain). The Regional Manager (comparable to a Site Director) is to run a shop ensuring that they are selling goods to the customers.  The CEOs at the top (comparable to the O5 Council) tell the Regional Manager how to run it by setting prices so that they may compete with other shops and drawing up a uniform policy so that they may maintain the shop’s brand.
    
Explain what makes you special:
 
I suppose my perception and drive for roleplay. I would also add on my skill as a writer although that can be subjective. What i do believe that makes me special is my background in roleplay as it allowed me to hone my charisma and wit. Natural skills for a leader. That and my acting skills. I have proven that I can show investment in a character as demonstrated with my custom story arc. Lastly, a good leader should always know his limits. What I can't and definitely is unable to do. In those cases, I would seek council on those that can make up for my shortcomings.  
     
How do you initiate a nuke?:
 
Getting the out-of-character answer out of the way, they seem to be triggered by event staff therefore I will have to get permission from them. For the roleplay answer, it depends on the situation and a variety of factors. After any number attempts to avoid the nuclear option. I present two cases.
 
If we are detonating a nuclear warhead on the surface targeting the Citizens of Ovis City. A plan will be drawn up where Alpha-1 will be tasked to insert the nuke within the center of the city. This ensures the maximum damage as a warhead flying over the city is detectable and gives time to the citizens. Ensuring that wireless operation is functional. The two activators as nuclear systems are usually armed and detonated with two operators ensure correct usage will have their respective launch codes transmitted or given to them. After getting the confirmation that Alpha-1 has been extracted. The nuke will be armed and detonated.
 
If the Alpha Warhead under the site is detonated. A call for Critical Foundation personnel to be summoned to the Entrance Zone then taken to the surface will be made. This disguises it as an Evacuation Order to prevent panic. Again, two operators will arm and start the countdown for the detonation of the warhead. This is by entering the Nuclear Room under Entrance Zone with a Clearance 5 card. Then an Evacuation Order will be made for all personnel to evacuate the site. HCZ and LCZ will be sealed in order to prevent SCP breaches.
