Usual character name: Nathan Smith
BYOND username: Goober_1ne
Discord username (if you are on our discord): goober_one
Recommended by: Nobody
Goon servers you play: Goon 4, 3 very rarely
Reason for application: I have always looked up to the HoS role as an upholder of law and sense, and have always seen it as an honorable role. I have aspired for long to apply for HoS, and I believe now is the time. I'd like to help lead in times of crisis and calm both- hold up law, sense, and cause an enjoyable round for all. As such, that is why I look to apply.
Security Experience: I first started playing security a good 3-4 months ago after mostly playing bartending and science. I got the taste of my first law-upholding as a security assistant- fell in love with the role, and eventually moved onto playing as a security officer. I've always made mistakes- I'm not going to lie about that! Everyone does, but it's part of learning. I've enjoyed many a round with many giving me advice and ways to do things better- always learning. I've never been particularly robust, but again- you've gotta learn. I have much understanding around the Security Computers, as I know how to change records, look up fingerprint strings, and all that fun stuff. I always try to be fair in my sentences, asking the team about recommended sentences and informing of arrests, record changes, and other important information. Considering my experience with threats- I can deal with anything from emagged beepskies to even some traitors.
Experience considering Spies and Traitors: I may not be able to easily take one in a 1 on 1 fight, but considering my ambush oriented approaches and guerilla warfare like tactics I may be able to outsmart them at times. I always use forensics to confirm what we're up against, and use the cameras to observe what equipment they may have, and altering my tactics depending on their equipment and how they move. I will also tend to attempt to resolve things peacefully if possible.
Experience concerning Vampires, Changelings and misc: I can certainly be outclassed by these depending on their experience. I'd always move in with teams when dealing with these, sending out public PSAs telling people to travel in groups, have anti-toxins for Changeling Threats, and to be generally vigilant. I'll try to be lenient to start but if they start showing to be a threat, I will indeed engage if required. I will usually try to resolve things peacefully when possible. When dealing with a hostile that will not surrender- course of procedure is to engage, stun, imprison. For repeat offenses of course it escalates.
Experience concerning Nuclear Emergency: I've had very little experience, as it's essentially chained to Goon 1 for now. However, I have dealt with some. The solution as I usually use is once again, guerilla warfare. Outclassed, you may think outside the box to gain the upper hand.
Advice for New Security Officers
One thing I will say is to ALWAYS ask for help if you need it. There's no reason to feel bad about it. Everyone may lose the upper hand or might just not know something. Security is strong together- weak apart. You need to have more teamwork intertwined with your fellow friends and officers.
Another advice piece that I have is to be creative with your punishments, tactics, and methods of communication. Maybe someone's slick and has gotten into your channel. No need to fret- maybe use PDA communication, or multi-frequency headsets. Maybe someone's expecting guerilla warfare- face them head on where they aren't prepared! Run new gimmicks- get yourself more fun! Try to enjoy security. And never overwork yourself- you aren't being forced into this!
Game improvements that could help security feel more fun:
I'd love to see a customizable loadout feature, for example: maybe you want to run a medic with a breaching shotgun! Feel free- you've just got door breaching shells and a medkit. Maybe you want a taser pistol with an RCD: now you've got a combat engineer! Maybe you want heavier armor. Go ahead and select that! I'd love to see you maybe obtain more loadout credits or whatever may be needed for completing tasks that may help the crew, like helping defuse situations.
Playstyle differences when in a full team or alone:
As a single security officer, my general goal is to always defuse situations if possible. I would most likely be outgunned, outclassed, and generally less robust- but defusal may save the situation. In teams, I still always defuse when possible, but I am much more comfortable using force if need be. I'm also quite communicative with the crew and my team when alone or not. If there are more robust officers than me around, sometimes I like to be just a general help- maybe I'll scoop up a medkit from the bay and some heavier armor from the bomb-disposal crate. Now I've got heavier armor to deal with kinetic threats and a medkit to help my team. I'm also a rather good intelligence gatherer when need be, being able to go undercover if needed.
PREVIOUS BANS: 2, 1 that I requested as I broke a minor rule. Multiple adminhelps and warnings surrounding minor issues.
Thanks for reading- feel absolutely free to drop any feedback. Any and all feedback will be appreciated- I can shape my further experience around this and become a model security officer that I've always wanted to be.
I should also note that I do sometimes self-promote, subconciously- I try to keep myself from making mistakes like that but sometimes I can't suppress it correctly- thanks for understanding!
