You demonstrate a behaviour that shows potential, yes, but current is unfit for a role such as site administration in my own opinion. This isn’t to say you’d be bad, I just do not believe that if you kept your current state that you would be on equal footing with the rest of site administration.
Additionally, previous comments here posted by you do have a sense of arguing, which is not very becoming of a site administration member. I’d maybe get a different CL4 before going to SA, and not a tech expert using the ERT base model.. (pretty sure that was you at least)
Could you be more specific as to what you mean by "current state"? Is it purely due to this thread? Because the main point of me replying is to either acknowledge or refute points brought up, and I'm not sure how that
couldn't be considered "arguing" - I'm fairly sure that's just how normal applications work. If I disagree with a point raised, I will explain why, that's not really an issue, that's part of the point the point of the thread - I can't just not address the responses. Where points have been raised that I don't dispute and that I do fully understand, I've just acknowledged them and, if negative or questioning, given explanations or planned to improve things, e.g. my response to Remmy.
When it comes to getting a different CL4 role before going to Site Administration, I've mentioned previously in this thread that I don't believe that positions should be restricted behind you having had a CL4 role super recently. In my opinion, as long as you've been active on the server recently, any previous experience should still apply, as you are unlikely to have completely forgotten how to do proper RP just because it's been a while since you had specific whitelisted roles. I'm also personally not particularly interested in holding any of the current CL4 roles outside of SA right now - I'm just not that interested in those positions, but
am interested in going for Site Advisor, as I do actually have some ideas that I want to try out and I'm just generally actually interested in the position. I don't think that making me go and do a different random CL4 role for a month or two just so I can come back and reapply for the same role I was interested in in the first place, when I already had past experience, is particularly helpful.
“Please do not reply to every post individually on your application, try to bunch up your responses, and edit posts if necessary.”
Please stop. I understand you want to give a response, but as it says, do so in a collective, not individually.
I am not intentionally doing this, it's just that whenever I check the forums, there tends to only be one response for me to reply to, other than one time where somebody posted right as I was replying, so it ended up being two separate replies back to back, because it wouldn't let me reply to them in an edit, and it forced me to just make a separate post. I'll try and wait at least a few hours before replying if there aren't multiple responses there for me to reply to at once to try and avoid this. [Written 11:56]
Yeah, So for the lore, Your background and the second page are fine, not great, but no big complaints. Your 'personality profile' section however, is 2 lines. It gives little insight about how the character will act and well, it's personality. It also doesn't mention why the foundation recruited your character, but that's just a small nitpick from me. I also noticed your 'foundation history' profile is 4 lines, it doesn't say what traits made SA pick them up/have a transfer request etc.
Although you do say it's a new character, the point is you make up it's background. Like make up anything, were you medical, GSD, RSD etc. I would recommend making up a background as just being an archivist and then being picked up into site admin just doesn't seem too realistic. You could use the fact you worked in history as a stepping stone into other things to then eventually get SA. Just kind of giving a more fleshed out idea of the character, whether it's a new character or not, you need an idea of how you will play it. I do get what you mean by new character, but you should have an idea for it's personality etc. Also giving your character traits and just an actual personality in your lore.
Also after reading through your character names, I have only seen you on 2 of them. That being your techie and your ISD character. You have been a helpful and not mingy techy which is good. However on ISD, I can't say I've seen you do much, that's not to say you aren't it's just what I've seen.
I would also take what Remmy has to say on board as well
Overall, I tried to make this as constructive and helpful as possible rather than a bashing, because I don't believe in that shit as it doesn't help anyone, if you take this all on board and I see you in game doing some good stuff, I will absolutely change my verdict, I hope this feed back was helpful
Good luck.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into fleshing out the character lore a bit more - I have some ideas, just need to write them up when I get time. Part of the formatting being short is just this being the standard format I use for all of my character lore, and some of the sections have always been short, and I suppose I just never thought about expanding upon some of it, as most of the lore was always in the history sections. The overall gist is just that Elena became somewhat involved in the anomalous prior to being recruited by the Foundation, and thus applied for and completed a DPhil at ICSUT, where she was then recruited before working at Site-12 at the Department of History for ~10 years, before transferring into Site Administration as an Assistant there for ~2 years up till now.

You main Techie and only ever interact with people when it comes to fixing computers, barely playing across other departments, maybe for an hour here and there on 1 other department and even then, you don't engage with other departments/regiments on those roles at all. You'd likely be unable to present RP to all the major departments across the board for this reason + as a Dpt. Director, I would not trust you have the knowledge or capability to assist me should I require assistance from SA.
