Usual Character Name: Kyle Johan Edwards
BYOND Username: Vendetta2Sp00ky
Recommended by (if applicable): N/A
Times Available: 4-10 CST / ( Depends on my work schedule changing )
Reason for Application (300 word minimum):
My experience in SS13 varies from the past two years, however my experience with RP in general goes all the way back into 2011. Most of my experience deals with HL2RP, but I decided to make the switch to SS13 quite some time ago - acquiring a taste for the actual game mechanics behind the game. HL2RP deals with a lot of /me's in order to perform actions. There really isn't too much that's going on as far as game mechanics go. Eventually, I became bored with HL2RP, as I had progressed through essentially every form of position, or rank you could acquire - Becoming even a Sectorial Commander on several occasions - an entity that is actually a " Universal Union " entity, and is the commander of all union assets within the city.
The reason I bring this up, is because of the fact that I have quite a bit of experience with either security, or in a serious RP setting - civil protection. Either way, I have both experience in the types of RP SS13 has to offer - as well as HL2RP, which is strictly serious. Therefor - I have gone through enough situations to have acquired a considerable amount of tenure with how to deal with things whenever everything goes south - as well as keeping a level head in high stress situations.
Never the less, SS13 is more relaxed - at least on this server. I've found my time on goon to be most enjoyable. I feel as though this is a great opportunity to take my experience to the next step by attempting to acquire an HOS whitelist. I feel as though that since I am usually maining as a security officer - it may be beneficial and worth while to bring some of my experience from other servers, and other forms of role play into this server.
Security Experience (300 word minimum):
I've played as security on most servers - including High RP servers such as " Bay Station " - I believe my experience is to a point where I have a bit of " common sense " as to what types of punishment would be sufficient for certain crimes - and what might be considered going overboard in terms of sentencing. At the end of the day, it's all about enjoying the game. I definitely take no pleasure in ruining someones round by being vindictive. I can also be very by the book at times for repeat offenders - but that's what's required for this role.
As far as my familiarization with space law - I'm pretty knowledgeable on the laws put in place on most servers. In terms of what other server I currently main as security on - I also play bee station, and can commonly be seen there partaking in that role. Either way, I've been playing SS13 for the better part of 2 years - so I do have quite a bit of experience when it comes to fulfilling that role. I do want to point back towards the fact that I have a bit more experience in Serious RP on HL2RP communities on garrysmod - but this being said there are several areas of civil protection service that are quite similar to how security is actually played. I think the main difference is that the civil protection acts a bit more aggressively, and carries out harsher - and sometimes ethically questionable verdicts on individuals partaking in criminal activities.
As far as how my experience has influenced my play style? I am a firm believer in establishing checkpoints around the station, in order to ensure that security is maintained. I also am a firm believer in communication being strengthened to a point that other available units will be able to converge on an officers location within a 1-2 minute threshold for all occurrences. I definitely believe that security, and head of security should be taken seriously - and that those who are playing these roles should be fully prepared to actually carry out their duties.
In your opinion, what are the flaws and benefits of the current security layout (brig, cells, security room etc):
I believe that the brig itself is pretty secure - however the entire point of security is to ensure that the entire station is safe from various types of criminal activity, and contraband. This is where establishing checkpoints comes into play. I also believe that the various security stations throughout the station - when properly utilized, can be extremely beneficial to the strategic emplacement of checkpoints throughout the station.
I honestly do wish that the security stations throughout the map were being used more often for something more than just recharging your baton, and taser. This is something that I will personally be working on whenever I play HOS. I want to be extremely engaged within this position, as well as creating an atmosphere that allowed other security officers to be actively engaged in their duties as well - setting up a playing field for interesting, and intriguing role play.
Previous Bans (While this will not affect your application lying about it will):

This was back in October of last year that I appealed this ban. This being said, I definitely learned my lesson.
