Accepted Management have reviewed your app and determined that you have developed a good character as well as are a player we believe would be suitable to be within ???. We will query you further on how your character will interact and act whilst on the server to determine its suitability in its current state. Request the ??? role on the discord and provide this post as proof.

Denied Management have agreed that you seem to be a decent guy and good fit for ???, however the character you have presented is rather basic and could be performed on Civilian without any difference to if it was a ???. You are free to reapply whenever and are encouraged to do so.

Neutral / -1 Cool character and RP potential, nothing particularly unique about the character that can't be done through roleplay on Civilian with /job as a "Detective" Or "NPC Detective" and purchasing a pistol from MC&D to the same effect (Unless the ??? would start with anomalous knowledge which isn't necessarily unable to be gathered in RP).

The OOC bit at the end is the most important part, everything before that is lore to give people an understanding of how The Hunter's Black Lodge functions.

Just some quick notes to clear anything up about these points: I think it would simply make more sense for Black Lodge to be dealing in drugs etc as this is one of the Lodge's primary trade and is not one of MC&D's particular trades as whilst MC&D's main business is within the dealing and trade of the anomalous using legitimate businesses do to cover and deals less in rougher businesses such as drugs. When there are no civs on the job there is a lot of potential roleplay wth the GOIs and other surface people. As well as this the same can be said for MC&D who when no civilians or potential customers are online as a result of the playerbase are quite limtied in their roleplaying capabilities as most people tend not to understand how to roleplay when not simply selling which in Black Lodge should hopefully not be a problem with multiple options being made depending on the players online at the time. The group also wont be heavily permission locked with most members of the group being given freedom and the ability to do whatever they want ( within reason ) unlike previous sarkics where unless you were high ranking you were heavily restricted. Yeh there is the likelihood this will happen and im hoping it wont just be guns blazing at eachother and have thought of several interactions that may take place as a result of this possibility that would make it fun for both parties and anyone else that becomes involved in it. And just a quick note on this Black Lodge will not be openly advertising anything like this as it doesnt particularly make sense for a Mafia to just be shouting out like that, any advertisements if they are to take place will just be through the spread of word of mouth. As said in the notes this group functions completely different to all other Sarkics and doesn't do the old Adytum's Wake just kidnap someone off of the street if they are "deemed worthy" and just sacrifice them using the broken Abomination swep and instead perform vastly different roleplay as can be seen throughout the document.

The Hunter's Black Lodge GoI-0432 ("The Hunter's Black Lodge") is an anomalous criminal cult primarily active in the post-Soviet states. Known as "The Hunter's Black Lodge" (or simply the "Black Lodge"), GoI-0432 has been linked to extortion, murder, robbery, gambling, prostitution, human trafficking, drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, and underground fighting rings. While these activities are not inherently anomalous, the anomalous capabilities of GoI-0432 has had an aberrant effect on their practice. The Foundation first became aware of the Black Lodge in the early 1990s after receiving a tip from informants in INTERPOL. Further investigation uncovered GoI-0432 related documents from the recently dissolved GRU Division "P", later corroborated by former members. It appears that GRU Division "P" was unable to fully contain or neutralize the threat presented by the Black Lodge, with one source describing them as a "hydra" - the organization thought neutralized on several occasions only for it to reappear months later, "stronger than before". Victims of the Black Lodge have been discovered impaled, penetrated by large organic spines - the decedents commonly showing evidence of ritual cannibalism. Foundation Report Known as "The Hunter's Black Lodge" (or simply the "Black Lodge"), GoI-0432 has been linked to extortion, murder, robbery, gambling, prostitution, human trafficking, drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, and underground fighting rings. While these activities are not inherently anomalous, the anomalous capabilities of GoI-0432 has had an aberrant effect on their practice. These anomalies include: - The trafficking and distribution of anomalous pharmaceutical agents, primarily in the form of the anabolic-androgenic steroid "Гнев". The intravenous injection of Гнев triggers anomalous levels of muscle and bone growth. Continued and/or excessive use will result in Proteus-Cronenberg syndrome and/or death. Analysis suggests that this substance is harvested from the adrenal gland of an unidentified species of animal and has thus been classified as SCP-2408-2A. - The trafficking and distribution of "Похоть", a potent narcotic and increasingly prevalent "club drug". Normally sold in small, glass vials, it is administered to the body through insufflation into the sinus cavities (injection has been found to be universally fatal). Substance triggers various sensory hallucinations, increased heart palpitations, increased sexual arousal, and feelings of euphoria; studies have shown the substance to be more addictive than heroin. These effects are non-anomalous (the substance likely created with profit in mind) but the substance itself appears to be derived from the spinal fluid of an unidentified species and has thus been classified as SCP-2408-2B. - The trafficking and distribution of biological agents, including pathogens and toxins deemed anomalous by the Foundation. The creation and distribution of "Красная Смерть" represents an exceptionally high level threat. Already classified as SCP-███, information regarding the "Red Death" is presently only available on a need-to-know basis. - Victims of GoI-0432 have been discovered impaled by large organic spines or completely torn apart. Cadavers display injuries suggestive of attacks by several different animals such as bloody hoofprints, wounds consistent with goring by a horned or tusked animal, and teeth-marks indicative of a large, lupine organism. The Foundation became aware of GoI-0432 in wake of the USSR's dissolution, when many anomalies and documents relating to anomalies were transferred to Foundation control by GRU Division "P". The existence of GoI-0432 would be further corroborated by former members of GRU Division "P". It appears that they were unable to fully contain or neutralize the threat presented by GoI-0432 and its associated anomalies, with one source describing the apparent destruction of the organization on several occasions - only for it to reappear months later, seemingly strengthened. ___________________________________________________ Agent S████ was not equipped with a recording device due to the delicate nature of the mission. Instead, information was transferred to the Foundation via dead drop. Agent S████ entered the nightclub at 2100, 01/25/1995, equipped with a SIG Sauer P226. He is observed being approached by a bouncer, which Agent S████ proceeds to follow after a short conversation. An agent inside the nightclub reports seeing S████ being escorted to an upstairs VIP suite overlooking the main floor. Agent S████ does not exit the nightclub until 0800, 01/29/1995. A message would later be delivered to the dead drop site at approximately 2100. The Foundation would henceforth receive biweekly mission reports from Agent S████. Missive 02/04/1995 Possible GoI-0432 front: ul. ██████ 94 GELENDZHIK Krasnodarskij kraj 353465 RUSSIAN FEDERATION First job was gunrunning. More damning evidence against Abraxas Arms. Not a lot to report beyond that. In a lot of ways, the Black Lodge is like any other Bratva. They're thugs, plain and simple, and mostly driven by greed. They're also nastier, which speaks volumes; you can't get much lower than the Bratva - they discarded any trace of honor they had left in Siberia. The Great Mothers are certainly something you don't see in the world of organized crime. The боевик call them hags, crones, witches, and the like (though not to their faces). The Sarkic influence is clear with them. Twelve in number, they refer to each other as "sisters" - priestesses or some such. All wear the same outfits - a black sarafan, a stained leather apron, and a red and white shawl covering the shoulders and hair. Always bare footed. A lot of ink work too. They aren't karcists but they still wield a great deal of clout over the Black Lodge. Missive 03/10/1995 "Criminal underground" has a literal meaning for the Black Lodge. There's another world beneath Moscow. Abandoned soviet bunkers. The Metro-2. Forgotten crypts. But it runs so much deeper than we knew. There's something downright ancient below. Suffice it to say, I think Moscow was built atop a Sarkic temple. There's a dungeon. Rusted torture equipment. Pre-revolution. Maybe a relic of the Time of Troubles. Regardless, it looks like the Sarkicites are continuing the tradition. It's not nearly as deep and ancient as that wretched temple. Might be worth researching what buildings used to exist in the general location during the 17th century. I don't know much about these places yet. Information seems to be on a "need to know" basis. But I think I've found a weak link in their chain - one of the Great Mothers; let's call her "Five". Five shows signs of senility; she's gentle, friendly, and more importantly naive. I've been able to glean some fairly significant intelligence from her (but can't say how much truth there is to any of it). According to her, the Black Lodge is something both new and old. Like the other Bratva, it began in the gulags of Siberia - during Сучьи войны. Avgust Iosava, father of Otari, appears to have been responsible for the Black Lodge's resurrection in '51. Something he encountered in the Siberian wilderness after leading a successful prison break. And that's when the witches sought him out. Guided him. Showed him "what he had forgotten" - I asked what she meant by that but her mind wandered elsewhere. She seemed happy to have someone listen to her; a chance to feel nostalgic about the old ways. She told me to take this "secret" and handed me several old and frayed documents; scriptures but not the originals, notes she must have transcribed from their primary sources. Fragmented but something I think the researchers would like to see. Going to write this all down. Five also told me about Moscow's lost history. In another time, it was known by a different name - "Orok's Fall"; a Sarkic settlement - and where the Saint of War sacrificed himself, "for the blood of gods and tyrants". Never cared for this city. Guess there was always something sinister here. As she described the ancient city, her terminology was unusually anatomical in nature. Referring to different locations as the "heart", "lungs", and "skull" of Orok's Fall. Missive 04/18/1995 I am making a special request to have my name, as well as what I've done (you'll know it soon enough), removed from the final report. If I successfully complete my mission and come out of this alive then I request the immediate application of amnestics. Most of my targets have been degenerates and criminals. Potential rivals and the like. But this was different. And Otari, that sick fuck, wanted us leave a different kind of message. There are other Sarkic cultists in Moscow; non-Black Lodge. I'm talking oligarchs. Government officials. One of them sent word that someone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a man named ██████ █████████, wanted to crack down on the Black Lodge and was searching for allies among the few straight players left in this city. Target the family. A wife, a daughter. Don't kill them. Make an example. The sort of scars that'll never heal. Missive 04/22/1995 Spoke with Five again, still trying to clear my head of what happened. She's not like the others and I'm beginning to question just how senile she really is. When she speaks of me, and her faith, there is a tone of regret. I asked her more about Sarkicism (don't worry, I didn't say the "S-word"). And, when she tells me about Ion, I feel like a child again - listening to my baboushka talk about Jesus and the old prophets. Whimsical, and like her, skipping over the parts that involve glorified torture and murder. I'm no researcher, historian or theologian or whatever. But I think these cults, this "Sarkicism" didn't begin this way (but I suppose that goes for most religions). Five talks about honor, friendship, virtue, and liberation. The gentle reindeer folk of Adi-um against the evil Daeva. She's old, but I take it the faith changed long before her; maybe she has begun to interpret the texts differently. Maybe she's wrong, seeing good under layers of madness and atrocity. I can relate. It's always the same. Another failed revolution. Regardless, I suspect Five is an aberration. Perhaps that is the reason she's confided in me. The others talk about the Great Mothers, say they can see things. At times I wonder if she knows who I really am. And then my training tells me to eliminate her. I think I'll ignore that training for now. Besides, no point taking out a source like her. Not yet at least. P.S. The arena. It isn't just for initiation. Blood sport disguised as ritual; or maybe ritual disguised as blood sport. Six enter; only one comes out. A lot of folks willing to pay to see and bet on it. Many wear the skulls of beast and the clean suits of billionaires. Five's not a fan; it's like listening to people complain about the commercialization of Christmas. I know the Black Lodge has been classified as Neo-Sarkic but the Great Mothers are pretty clearly Proto-Sarkic - they're traditional, celebrate the high holidays, and still think in terms of some greater good. The rest only care about how to make themselves stronger, wealthier, etc. Otari has an animal cunning to him but he is hardly an intellectual - nor does he appear to be a karcist (or at least, the term hasn't been thrown around at all). Missive 05/06/1995 Five let me in on a little secret. Otari has a brother by the name of Mikhail. Same father; different mother. And he's that half-dead thing in the cell. Apparently Otari and Mikhail have somewhat of a rivalry, but that isn't why Mikhail's been imprisoned and defaced; Five was vehement about that. It seems that Mikhail volunteered for some sort of ritual. Things are getting pretty fucked up here. Not sure if it's the drugs or not. I'll leave a vial with this report. I'm seeing things. The angles in the club, and everything below, are wrong. The architecture gives me a headache if I stare at it too long. Yesterday I woke in a bathroom stall with a half-eaten woman. The whores at Red Lanterns - they look human one moment then the next, well, I know 'monster' isn't really appropriate in this line of work but not sure how else to describe them. They stare at me with feral, hungry eyes. Five once called the them Rusalki; I thought she was just being figurative but now I'm not so sure. They slither off into the backrooms with fresh meat tailing behind; they'll be back an hour later, looking satisfied - but the men that go in don't ever come out. And when I watch the pit fights. There are things in the audience that aren't entirely human. There are sounds I can't explain; like a heartbeat, sometimes roars - something from deep below, where all the blood and corpses go. Agent S████ was declared MIA on 05/28/1995. On 06/04/1995, after much deliberation, raids were conducted against multiple Black Lodge sites, including the Red Lanterns nightclub. During the assault, SCP-2408-1 were directly observed undergoing transfiguration. Despite their aggression and anomalously augmented combat prowess, the SCP-2408-1 threat was thoroughly neutralized through the use of incendiary armaments (with the Foundation unexpectedly suffering only minor casualties). As operations continued, it grew readily apparent that the Black Lodge had provided minimal manpower - a mere fraction of its total population in the region. Sarkicism is a religious/philosophical system that encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs, and spiritual practices largely based on teachings attributed to “Grand Karcist Ion”, its deified founder. Adherents practice ritual cannibalism, human sacrifice, corporeal augmentation, thaumaturgy, and dimensional manipulation. Highly secretive, the general public appears to have no direct knowledge of their existence; the one exception being the CotBG, who views them in apocalyptic terms. Organic manipulation has allowed certain Sarkicites to achieve anomalous states of being, transcending the physical limitations of baseline humans. Disease is viewed with reverence and Sarkic shrines have been discovered with offerings of swollen lymph nodes and tumorous growths. Sarkic cults treat contagions as consecration, a means to "cull the weak" and purify the masses, and thus actively seek to ensure their spread. The Foundation divides known Sarkic cults into two distinct strands: Proto-Sarkic and Neo-Sarkic. Proto-Sarkic cults can be found in insular communities throughout Eurasia's most isolated regions, its followers generally poor (if self-reliant) and hostile towards outsiders. Such groups eschew modernity, display acute technophobia, and are bound by superstition and taboo. In contrast, Neo-Sarkic cults are cosmopolitan, publicly embracing modernity and showing no apparent qualms with technology; their public lives differing little from others of their culture and social status. Adherents are primarily affluent families, rich in history and scandal. Ultimately, it is believed that the Foundation only knows a fraction of what Sarkicism is and what its followers intend. Based on the available information, the speculated goals of Sarkic cults represent an SK-class dominance shift, including the possibility of an XK-class end-of-the-world scenario. The Old God Yaldabaoth (also known as "Važjuma", "God-Eater", "Devourer", "His/Her Undulating Vastness", "The Great Winnower", "The Womb of Chaos" and various other epithets) is regarded in Sarkicism as the principle power in the universe. Neo-Sarkites appear to admire this entity but Proto-Sarkites (and all discovered scripture thus far) describe it as the true enemy of all people. Translated fragments of the Valkzaron suggests that Ion had somehow usurped control of this cosmic entity, wearing the flesh of the Old God as a sort of armor and crafting from its body a kingdom. This is contradicted by recently discovered scripture which suggest that Ion merely cast down the "living gods" of the Daeva, weaker avatars of the Archons - the children/servants of Yaldabaoth. The continued mortality of humanity and the absence of "paradise" ultimately imply that, were Ion real, then he had failed to achieve his goals. As with all things related to Sarkicism, it is difficult to discern reality from myth - most especially when myth contradicts. Proto-Sarkites view this entity with fear and disgust, regarding it as both the creator and destroyer of all life and the progenitor of the gods. As more sects are discovered, the diversity of interpretation grows readily apparent. Yaldabaoth is portrayed as both destroyer and incidental creator, "feeding" upon gods, worlds, and stars, while "exhaling life" into the cosmos (which will evolve, grow, and eventually be harvested again). Life is thus a natural byproduct of the Old God's existence; unguided by intelligence and spreading through a process not entirely dissimilar from panspermia. Sarkites believe this entity has turned the multiverse into an altar with our existence, and the existence of all biological lifeforms, being brought into reality for the singular purpose of sacrifice. "Blind" and driven solely by instinct, Yaldabaoth is depicted as being accompanied by otherworldly entities known as "Archons" (or "Vultaas" among certain Proto-Sarkic cults). These beings are described by Sarkic texts as faceless manifestations of primordial chaos, their true forms inconceivable to the human mind. Gnostic and Mekhanite scripture would mention the Archons as well, describing them as "terrible and rapacious angels". Some Sarkic cults hold that the Archons, along with Yaldabaoth, do not originate from our universe, let alone the multiverse. These cults believe that these entities begin in the Void and that their colossal physical bodies are vessels for these profane spirits. Because their consciousness is tethered to the Void, they know only hunger and will consume all things in their desire to feel whole - spreading like a cancer across the multiverse. The Archons are frequently referenced as having some relationship to the stars and the growing darkness that exists between them but little else is known about this connection. Sarkic art and iconography typically depicts Archons as red or black and vaguely cephalopodic. ___________________________ Klavigar Orok A figure of reverence and supposed disciple of Ion. Associated with strength, war, violence, wilderness, hunting and, seemingly in contradiction, loyalty and revolt. Epithets include: the Horned Beast, the Brute Lord, and the Pale Hunter. Described as being of unnatural physical strength, Orok was the product of alchemical and thaumaturgical experimentation on slaves. Enthralled to Matriarch Aśvighoṣa, the ruling Daeva in the city of Jel, Orok served as a personal guard and pit-fighter. It is written that Ion, when taking the city of Jel, entered the palace of Matriarch Aśvighoṣa (presumably, the highest authority in the city). He requested that the matriarch should leave and take with her a message to the "Daeva of Daevas", lest she suffer retribution. Refusing his ultimatum, the matriarch ordered Orok to destroy him. It is written that Orok hesitated, his "runes of bondage [setting] his starved soul aflame so that his body became spirit"; turning to his matriarch, he struck Aśvighoṣa, his fist imbued with the very power she had forced upon him, and reduced her body to "cinder and ash and heavenly starlight". Orok is typically depicted as a large and muscular cyclopic man wearing a loincloth. His symbols include a two-headed axe, a one-eyed skull, a hunting spear, fractured bones, a closed fist, and a bull elephant. _______________________ Out Of Character Information

Whilst that is true any job can be performed on ??? with the difference being ??? tends to have a lot more power and is limited to 4 slots and you dont exactly want all of ??? being a single RP group with the whole purpose of it being diverse. Having Black Lodge as a seperate job will encourage interesting roleplay to those that understand it. By this logic no jobs should ever be retried, look at COTBG and how many times that has been attempted and failed miserably. All jobs die at some point, MC&D is basically dead right now along with COTBG. TSH is getting 2-3 people at peak, CI has always been retarded and dead and doesnt count towards to equation and GOC is the only semi active job getting a recurring 2-3 players at most points in time dying every now and then for ranging time periods. Saying the job will just die is true but that goes for every job and doesnt really say much and with the understanding the server is split into a few parts. Those that understand RP and lore and those that dont, if those that do are in the group then it will function well, if those that arent in the group they will either learn or be retarded to which they can be kicked. Black Lodge has never been attempted as every time the suggestions or changes are being suggested it never takes place due to Sarkic having failed before the change and SMT not being willing to give it a second shot so we cant make judgements on it as Black Lodge as we know is a complete contrast from Adytum's Wake and COUGH Mors Deus COUGH. It is not stated anywhere in the post that there are going to be severe restrictions as with this job being a primarly RP based job on the Mafia side there isnt going to be funni flesh men running around meaning their is no need for severe restrictions, I can imagine where there could be restrictions but not to the point of previous Sarkic attempts. If the management is well chosen with a good first wave of members then they can further "train" the newer members on how to actually RP on the job continuing the cycle. The only way to tell if the job will function well on the server is by trying it. Adding a job to the server literally takes an hour to code and another hour of quick bug testing, if the job is absolutely terrible nothing is lost and nothing is gained as it will be replacing COTBG which is already completely dead. Black Lodge as I have already stated has not been given a chance meaning we cannot judge if it will be a success or failure well enough to base a judgement around that. Already explained throughout other points.

Changes to the post, includes a lot more detail regarding job functionality and purpose as well as a lot of lore to back it up. Changes could still be made to this regarding stuff such as the actual job loadouts rather than just the SWEPs but otherwise: Funni Sarkic Man Seal Of Approval +1

The majority of the -1s on this are regarding my current lack of activity on Site Administration roles, that is the reason I am applying for O5. Given this position I believe I could be more active in this section of the servers roles once again becoming active within the Site Administration roles. I currently am most active within GOI roles and also occasionally on ISD or Harrow 23 if there are large amounts of GOIs on, if given this position I would become involved with Site Administration roles again. If given this whitelist I intend to be active on the job much more than my other whitelists so rather than judging on my current activity on Site Administration roles judge on the application and my performance on the other roles which I am active on. I have had enough experience on Site Administration roles having only played these roles in V4-5 before I first joined Sarkic Adytum's Wake playing Site Director before becoming both a HoEA and O5 in which I spent all of my time on the server on these two roles varying depending on which jobs were filled at the current time playing HoEA when more GOIs were on and O5 when more Foundation Personell and SCPs were online. Basically a TLDR although I am not currently active on Site Administration roles I intend to do so if given this opportunity.

Which Rank/tag do you need: SCP-RP Group Manager What is your RP Name on the server(only use one): O Axios Taisho Evidence (A image of your name ingame with the said rank, or a image of yourself on the old forum. Do not post sensitive information such as emails/PayPal payments please:

I primarily play GOIs at the moment such as MC&D Salesman and GOC Assessment Team, MC&D isnt really a combat based job as it primarily just stays at the club and distributes weapons and anomalies whilst GOC Assessment Team disguises and infiltrated groups and doesnt openly engage in combat and leaves that to the GOC Strike Team. Regarding me not playing administration this is a result of me simply having prefered to play GOIs up to this point but I wish to use this as an opportunity to get more involved with Foundation Administration. Currently I have HoEA, Harrow-23 and ISD Whitelist which I attempt to play rather frequently yet still less than their GOI counterparts. If I was accepted into this position I would more than likely be prioritising this position for quite a while as not only do I wish to use O5 as a reintroduction into Site Administration roles but just as a way for me to get more involved with the Foundation as a whole whilst not going against it as a GOI.

[BASIC INFORMATION] Your In-Game Name: O Axios Taisho Your Steam-ID: STEAM_0:0:155868754 Your Age: 14 Your In-Game Playtime: 6w 4d Your amount of warnings (15 Warnings max): 4 Rate your roleplaying skills: From my own opinion as well as other's feedback I believe my roleplaying skills are above average, on terms of WG SCP RP though, being able to provide RP fun for all parties involved as well as appropriate to given situations. [BASIC QUESTIONS/IMPORTANT Questions] What would you like your O5 Designation to be?: O5-9 "Misfortune" 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 should be selected to join the O5 Council as I have a large amount of experience in several roleplaying jobs having held a reasonable amount of WL positions as well as managing several groups, as a result of this I have experience in leadership and management of multiple individuals simultaneously as well as having previously been in the O5 Council back in V4 in which I held the same position I am now applying for. I know how to react to certain situations others may not know how to appropriately respond to ensuring roleplay continues to flow and the site continues functioning correctly and to the highest efficiency as well as being an enjoyable experience to everyone involved and not simply a one sided experience in which only one or a select few individuals enjoy the encounter. I believe I am able to bring my roleplaying skills as well as leadership qualities being able to correctly fulfill the role of a member of the O5 Council. The character I am applying for, O5-9 "Misfortune", is responsible for the creation of SCP-963-2 allowing me to become involved more with the research department, which is usually very retarded to say the least having a very small amount of individuals that actually roleplay whilst on the research department roles and those that do roleplay the amount that is sensical and not simply throwing D class at an SCP for a result is minimal, overseeing and becoming involved in testing as well as instructing if necessary would be a primary act performed and as a result of the character's immortality combined with their overall almost cursed misfortune roleplaying as this character could provide unique RP experience to those involved with it. Although this is a brief and general overview of why I believe I should be selected to join the O5 council it will be thoroughly explained further throughout the upcoming questions in more detail. How many O5 Council Members are their in the SCP universe that are known but not on record?: The generally accepted fact amongst staff of the SCP Foundation regarding the O5 Council is that it is comprised of 13 members, some believe it to consist of only 12 members with the 13th simply being a tie breaker position passed around amongst the other 12 in voting situations whereas some believe that the O5 Council consisting of only 13 members is simply a falsehood used to disguise the true nature of the council consisting of possibly higher or fewer members. The truth behind the O5 council is that there are 12 members, O5 13 is infact a tie breaker position cycled between the members of the council in votes yet none other than the O5s know this. The "Infamous O5 Council", a rumour and a myth with none below clearance level 2 knowing of their existance and those that do knowing absolutely nothing about them other than this. They are the council of the worlds most powerful people, they decide if you exist, have ever existed or will ever exist. Once you know of the O5 Council you fear it, if you do not then you should learn to if you wish to survive in the world that is the SCP Foundation. Can you explain what an O5 does for the foundation and the site itself and why he himself differs from any other site Adminstration?: The Site Directors role is to manage a Foundation Site ensuring all of the foundation personell, MTF commanders, departments and everything else is smoothly managed within that site allowing for the SCP Foundation to correctly function in each of their set locations across the globe. The Head Of External Affairs role is to ensure the external affairs of each foundation site is correctly managed including managing the civilian population, GOI activity and any imports or exports of the foundation, as well as this the Head Of External Affairs is responsible for the management of the Department of External Affairs. The Site Advisors are tasked with advising the Site Director in his decisions and choices ensuring that the site is ran to the fullest performance and efficiency. The Ethics Committee is responsible for ensuring ethical practice is followed within the Foundation observing all of the site administration as well as members of task forces, the security department, research department and all other foundation personell. The O5 Council are the absolute power in the SCP Foundation, they collectively hold all of its knowledge distributed between them and each hold power above any you will ever see. Their roles vary between each member yet relatively speaking their position is ensuring that all other Site Administration perform their roles correctly and to an above acceptable standard. As each council member cannot perform all of the tasks required to manage the SCP Foundation they each have their own specialisations having specific roles they perform much more frequently and to a higher standard than other tasks. Some O5s are specialised in research and development of the SCP Foundations tasks whilst others much prefer security or staff administration. Each O5 performs different tasks as well as each O5 performing the tasks they share differently to one another. Explain what makes you special: I believe the thing that makes me special is my leadership and roleplaying qualities. I know how to uphold a leading position ensuring others do their tasks correctly whilst still not being a complete dictator and allowing others to freely perform tasks they wish to do and not constantly assign them to tasks they do not wish to do or be involved with ruining their experience on the server. Being able to lead others as an O5 is an essential skill and this combined with my ability to roleplay to an above average standard opens several different options whilst I am on the O5 job being able to become involved with different RP situations that may occur across the server and possibly expand upon these situations with the presence of an O5 overall improving the ongoing RP. I understand though that I do have my limits and sections in which I am not particularly skilled in which I am able to request assistance from another that may know how to assist me in such scenarios allowing a constant flow and not obstruction situations. How do you initiate a nuke?: With the In-Character response being in order to detonate the warhead present in the nuclear silo on the surface all essential personell will be sent into the nuclear warhead room in Lower Entrance Zone and after the appropriate proceedures are completed a siren would be sounded on the surface followed by the detonation of the warhead whilst the detonation of the Alpha Warhead inside the foundation will be done by first arming the Alpha Warhead inside of the warhead room in Lower Entrance Zone followed by all essential personell being evacuated to the surface, this would be done discreetly to avoid mass panic of foundation staff. After all essential personell are evacuated a message will be broadcasted thanking all Foundation Personell for their service and work they have done before the warhead timer ticks down or is remotely detonated resulting in the warhead detonating and destroying the Foundation site as well as everything inhabiting it. OOC You Need To Follow The Proper Systems Above And Contact Hierarchy To Use A Command To Detonate The Nuke. What are the rules a O5 Council member has to follow?: An O5 Council Member must not put their life at risk unecessarily such as entering a hazardous area, containment cell of an SCP or unecessarily interacting with SCPs. An O5 is not required to yet should be escorted by Alpha-1 at almost all times to ensure their life is safe. An O5 should not head to the surface unecessarily or without reason and under the occurance that they do they are to be escorted at all times by Alpha-1. An O5 is not to abuse his power such as unjustly demoting or punishing those that do not warrant such treatment. An O5 is not to openly state who they are and is to obtain secrecy regarding themselves only completely trusting their proven Alpha-1 units. An O5 should not restrict or prevent testing without a valid reason. An O5 is not to breach protocols or laws without necessary reasoning behind their actions. Why would you like to role play as an O5?: I would like to roleplay as an O5, specifically O5-9 "Misfortune" as the position of O5 in my past experience was an incredibly fun one to uphold and use. The power an O5 holds allows you to have a larger presence in roleplay being involved with a large audience of people such as being the target of GOIs, the "superior" of your Site Administration and an overall involved character, the O5 plays a central role within the Foundation being involved with mass amounts of RP on the server. This combined with the uniqueness of the role having each O5 being drastically different in how they act and perform followed by the lore and construction of each character makes this job an extremely preferable role to me. I personally find the character of O5-9 "Misfortune" incredibly interesting being an O5 almost cursed by his own misfortune repeatedly dying and each time knowing nothing after his first death allowing his character to change repeatedly in his actions and knowledge of a scenario, as a secondary result of this immortality the RP of this specific O5 would very much vary from the other O5s providing a much more unique yet incredibly fun experience for both myself and all those I roleplay with. Below you will find a few small tales regarding O5-9 "Misfortune" which I found very interesting and further adds to the way this character will act and how their concept functions as a whole:
