Goon servers you play: RP 3&4, I bounce around. Don't really target any pop but 30 is comfy.
Reason for application:
The presence of HoS and NTSO players on RP is rather sparse, especially since if you look at the number of approved whitelists is around 1-2 a month. I am mainly a Sec player on Goon I thought to give this a go, the dynamic of a security team improves drastically when a HoS is active, and it opens up new RP experiences, I also enjoy teaching new seccies once in a while, and the HoS's words tend to carry more weight. It's also great to have a member of command in security as it's often missing due to HoS being a whitelisted role. Also I want to say "I AM THE LAW" without blowing up. HoS also adds some accountability to the sec team.
Security experience (300 word minimum):
I have a fair bit of experience in security I'd say, but I'll stick to things from Goon. Goon is weird in the way that it has made me enjoy playing security, I don't often play security in other servers, Goon is the sole exception. Be it interactions with crew or antagonists, I've had a positive experience with security (on both sides). However, the most enjoyable shifts have nearly all had a HoS to lead security.
I've done many different things while a part of the sec team, be it forensics, front desk, manhunts, interrogations, etc. And would say I've gotten pretty good at it (When my ping isn't 500ms), and I am always glad to teach people who would care to learn, especially forensics which I am rather proficient in.
My approach as a security officer has always been casual, as much as possible, RP-focused unless it's a large threat (someone is killing someone, breaking into sec, etc.) I am lenient with brig time and punishments as much as possible, however, maybe a five-time attempted murderer isn't someone y 'want out in the station. I am also known to be thorough with forensics and investigations, (PDA tracking, finding people who swap gloves, etc.) Most importantly, I always keep the communication going between me and my fellow officers, as it is very important to keep everyone in the loop, and knowledgeable of the current situations onboard the station.
I have also, always been willing to teach new security members the ins and outs of the department. How to get your gear, how to approach suspects, how to use secmate, computers, and how the forensics system works. And as always, how to keep the station from falling into chaos. When I just started playing security, I received basic guidance from other officers which helped me learn the role quickly and issue-free.

Answer two or more of the following:
- What advice would you give to other sec players?
Ten cool tips:
1. You don't need to be robust to play security, but it certainly helps.
2. Don't give up just because the suspect was wearing gloves, check doors inside of departments etc, this can often help you narrow down what job they work.
3. Partial prints can be strung together with a little brainpower.
4. RP is important! Especially if they reciprocate.
5. Don't try to do other departments jobs, unless the department is empty, in which case good luck.
6. Don't take security too seriously, yes it's RP but don't get angry over spessgame.
7. Try not to meta, just because this one character is often an antag doesn't mean you should pick on em'
8. Be nice to the antags, don't ruin their round or anyone elses.
9. Ticket everyone for everything.
10. Lastly but most importantly, COMMUNICATE, helps peeps know if you're alive, and helps the sec team stay organized.
- What game improvements or changes do you think would benefit security players?
I really dislike how donut 3 never has enough forensic scanners, also donut should have more donuts for security. I also wish I could get robust donuts in some way other than using a sec token, maybe order it from cargo or something.
- Describe any differences in your playstyle when part of a full security team and when being the only security officer.
When I'm the only sec officer, I'll usually carry a toolset with me, and try to avoid brigging people, since I can't keep the peace if I have to watch crimers in their cells. I also tend to talk more on the common channel since I have no chatter on security to keep up with, I however prefer playing with a sec team more than I do alone, except when I play det that once in a while.
- Write a poem to convey your thoughts on security/NanoTrasen/space/bees/anything related to SS13.
Chef's exotic needs
Blood is flooding the station
No pets surviving
- What's a security gimmick that you've ran or wanted to run?
Not really a gimmick but we did have a donut stand once.
Previous bans (while this will not affect your application lying about it will): None at all.
