Why are you applying for Site Director? I am applying for Site Director to fill the vacant position and to return Site Administration into an active and engaging body of authority that is the go to for all necessary communications. In addition to this I also have experience in communicating with GoIs, history in enforcing policy and helping change when necessary and moreover I enjoy interacting with all the site staff to ensure that they are having a good experience. I also think that I have been a positive addition to the site in decisions that will aid the RP experience of other site departments, an example of this could be when I have concluded talks diplomatically with the UN to ensure that their efforts are continued in the advancement of RP, most commonly with RSD, Medical and even E-11 when they aid with QRF. The decision to go for Site Director comes with the ability to make necessary changes for the betterment of the site and to further hone my own skills.

What makes you suitable for Site Director over Site Advisor?: Firstly, in my opinion, the most important reason that makes me suitable for Site Director is my extensive experience in monitoring and acting as a liaison to a wide variety of players throughout this and other communities. This comes from holding roles such as General on the old MRP server and being a part of the Overseer Council on this one. For the specifics however, I believe that I possess:
Leadership:
On many occasions have I been able to revive regiments and departments, which may insinuate that I have a good ability to communicate and bring the best out of a multitude of different characters and people. I also believe that I have set a high standard at communicating with GoIs which will bring the best out of people in DEA, and hopefully all of SOP without seeming rude, instead it being acknowledged that we are trying to gain as much as we can without risking as much etc. I have also been a figurehead in enforcing surface policies, both IC and OOC by having thorough communication with CI and UN in those regards.
An example where I have shown my leadership abilities more recently is where I took the role of Director and have managed to fill out the chain of command, maintain good relations with the UN despite the other Director and most active Dpt Manager resigning. This demonstrates how I can effectively promote communication and stability to my delegates in the most unfortunate scenarios.
Active:
I like to think myself as one of the more active members in the community, both in game and out of game via availability in externals such as discord and teamspeak. I have also maintained a professional attitude when it comes to RP which makes my sheer will and determination to any role I possess to prosper and aim to act at its highest capability.
Thoughtful:
Not that I deny being compassionate, however I link thoughtfulness to a key aspect of leadership. By which I mean I do not rush into situations unprepared and unknowing, I tend to carefully plan out a number of possible outcomes before I make my statement, whether that be a command, or action.
Examples of this are when we are compiling evidence and listing areas of discussion when conferring with groups such as the UN in order to gain more favourable terms in pressing topics.
Documentation:
As I have held numerous senior positions prior I am rather experienced when it comes to sending official letters to people whether it be to advance and promote RP is unique ways or even just to note down important events that have transpired, this makes communication much easier without the need of notifying people directly all the time, albeit not as much this time over due to inactivity from some groups.
Most recently I have taken to planning events which will introduce less known GoIs to members of SOP and the entirety of site. For example I had planned a site visit where a member of Wilson's Wildlife Solutions from 31st North Deerway Avenue and drafted up a document to ensure full transparency on their eventual arrival.
Experience:
I understand that my only Sr CL4 period on the server had been Director of External Affairs, not including my time spent as CL5, however this has provided me the opportunity to interact with every single department / regiment for a wide variety of reasons. This ranges from stealing neurocontrollers from CI for the benefit of RSD etc to planning operations within our department and with groups such as the UN to bolster and promote different RP in the Medical Department (blood drives for example).
Insight:
Due to my extensive knowledge revolving the server and SCP lore itself I am fully aware of the responsibilities that I will be taking on if I am successful in reassignment to Site Director, this means that I will be able to maximise efficiency within the body by filling out a solid and high quality chain of command to ensure that relevant work gets delegated to trustworthy and motivated personnel to ensure a peak experience for all who interact with us.

What are the responsibilities of Site Administration in RP?: The responsibilities of Site Administration, Site Director more specifically are as followed:
Appointment of new Department / Regiment leaders:
Site Administration is in charge of the appointment of the Nu-7 and E-11 Commanders; the Medical, General Security, External Affairs Directors / Chiefs.
Appointment of new Site Advisors / Managers:
Possibly the most important role of the Site Director is to ensure that a stable and fit chain of command follows them in the body of administration. This is to ensure that they are trusted to carry out their relevant duties and also have the ability to create and involve themself in their own RP creation / interactions.
Departmental Reviews:
This may not be occurring currently however I would like to promote the reviewing of Departments constructively to ensure that they are fully aware of their current flaws and their stronger areas. This will highlight the needed areas of improvements in departments and also aid in effective communication with departments / regiments and Site Administration as of course they will be there to provide support to the departments. More importantly this will ensure that all department leads are of sufficient quality and are motivated to keep their department in a good state.
Authorising AA:
This is to all of Site Administration but is definitely an area that needs highlight as recently it has taken far too long to authorise AA which prolongs the duration of breaches and lowers the effectiveness of E-11 and all responding combatives to recontain SCPs, also lowering morale due to them not being able to conduct their duties with max efficiency.
Communicating with Groups of Interest:
While of course the main port of call for all communication involving GoIs is the Department of External Affairs and Nu-7 in their absence, Site Administration must remain up to date with the current status and stances regarding GoIs to ensure no miscommunication occurs and at the potential that some talks may require escalation.
Employment Hearings:
Site Administration conducts employment hearings for all staff who have been deemed unfit to serve in their current positions so that they have a fair chance at appeal if their argument is proven to be solid.
Authorisation of Mass termination of D Class personnel:
This is a last resort if the scenarios in D Class are proven to be too volatile to enforce ethical restraint and as a last measure mass termination can be authorised to ensure that the site is not compromised by escaped D Class.
Issuing of Orders and Operations:
Site Administration will work closely with MTFs and Departments to host operations which will provide a more specific manner of RP to ensure that people who excel in certain areas receive recognition for their efforts and abilities whilst also keeping the playerbase engaged as even the effort itself goes a long way with keeping newer and existing members of the community active.
Of course the specifics of some details may have been missed however I believe that I have clarified the points within the rest of my application.

Please give some lore about your Site Administration character and what storylines they would be involved in:

I have a multitude of storylines and potential events planned for my character ranging from interactions and backgrounds with other Groups of Interest however am not going to elaborate too much now as it is mostly vague.
