Usual character name: Bourbon Bob, as well as a bunch of one-off characters you may never see again
BYOND username: Merlin1230
Discord username (if you are on our discord): Merlin1230#6112
Recommended by (if applicable): N/A
Goon servers you play: RP 3 and 4, sometimes I'll play on main, but I've never been sec on there (at least not yet)
Reason for application:
I enjoy playing security, and security is a role with a lot of power. They can very easily ruin an antag's round. I wish to become HoS to help make sure those antags (and even the crew) have fun while still giving them a challenge, and during the times I play there are still gaps of rounds without a HoS, so I want to fill those gaps. And now with the tide and all the new secoffs (and all the self-antags) I wanna help them all learn and grow up to be HoS one day. And lets be honest, those guns are COOL. Even though in the end I'll probably rarely use them.
Security experience (300 word minimum):
I don't remember what I was like when I first starting playing security, but to be honest, I was probably not that great. I know I've definitly come a long way in my security exprience and playstyle. I love being security, handing out silly punishments for small and equally silly crimes (like swirlies) and overreacting when they eat that ticket they gave you. I find I can be a bit lenient, but most of the time I think about the crimes they've done, and if whatever I'm doing would ruin their fun. I even let someone keep their pickpocket gun even though they stole my ID and the HoP's ID, but I did make them pinky promise to not steal any more IDs, and to be fair, they didn't steal any IDs when they were doing crime. I've even made it a habit to not search people unless I've actually seen the contraband or the crime relates to them having something on them, like theft. When it comes to arrests, I'm always thinking more about their fun, and I NEVER want to ruin anyone's fun. It would just make me feel bad to know that someone's fun was ruined because of somthing I did. I've done things in the past (not recently, as far as I know) that had people get angry at me, and I don't want anyone to feel angry at anything I do. I want them to be glad that I punish them fairly and allowed them to have fun! Even having contraband is not enough for me to arrest, most of the time I'll ask them what they on using the contraband for then bother them until they get a permit at the HoP's office. I've hadn't really ever had to execute anyone, which is probably a good thing! (all the executions I've had were been done by a HoS). Thats probably cause I've never had the authority, and its only something I can learn by, well, having it, as well as watching others.
Answer two or more of the following:
What advice would you give to other sec players?
Never shoot first. Always ask questions, and talk to them before arresting them. No one likes to be sliently arrested, and most criminals will probably be more cooperative if you talk instead of shoot. Who knows, maybe they'll even come up with some silly situation that you just can't help but laugh at and let them be free. Always be thinking of how they feel, and make sure they still have fun!
Describe any differences in your playstyle when part of a full security team and when being the only security officer.
I am definitly different depending on how many people are in the team. Generally by myself, I'll act and punish the same, but when I'm a part of a bigger team, I find myself taking command, always reminding officers to put their disks and pinpointers on the table, and even giving out punishments to criminals that other people arrest. Of course, I don't take command when there is a HoS, since it is their job.
Answer one or more of the following fun questions (because it's important for the HoS to be fun):
Write a poem to convey your thoughts on security/NanoTrasen/space/bees/anything related to SS13.
The criminals gather
in the darkness of the tunnels
what are they planning?
It doesn't matter, for in the end
Justice will find them
What's a security gimmick that you've ran or wanted to run?
Clown security. And not just the outfit, I want them to all be clumsy too. I want some real wacky clowns trying to arrest people but just stunning and cuffing themselves, while also being silly and cracking jokes. It'd be hilarious.
Draw a picture!

Previous bans (while this will not affect your application lying about it will): None, but I have done some bad things. The one that comes off the top of my head was an execution that really shouldn't have happened... I felt very bad, but we did talk it out in LOOC and then an admin afterwords.
