In-game name:
Nova SGT MED Samael

Steam 64 ID:

Discord ID:
857007555405414400

What position are you applying for?:
ISB Director

How well do you know this character's lore?:

Considering the fact that Wullf Yularen is not typically the ISB Director, Rather Krennic or some other Miscellaneous Cannon Fodder person, I shall give lore knowledge on both.

Wullf Yularen.

Wullf Yularen was a hardworking, lifelong state employee who readily shifted from Republic official to Imperial enforcer. He began as a Judicial Department fleet officer and intelligence operative before returning to active duty at the outbreak of the Clone Wars and rising to fleet admiral under Jedi General Anakin Skywalker. Despite their contrasting personalities, Yularen and Skywalker made an effective leadership tandem, winning key engagements throughout the fight. His discipline was tested again when working with Ahsoka Tano, but despite being injured at Ryloth, he supported her decision, which resulted in a decisive victory and cemented his reputation as one of the Republic's most talented naval commanders. With the fall of the Republic, Yularen gave up his Admiral title for a Colonel position in the Imperial Security Bureau, shifting from military command to internal repression and intelligence gathering. He advanced through the Imperial Security Bureau and Naval Intelligence to become one of the Empire's most famous security chiefs, collaborating closely with Grand Admiral Thrawn to identify rebel networks. His pursuit of the rebel mole Fulcrum ended in betrayal when his protégé, Alexsandr Kallus, defected. Yularen served until the end, being stationed on the Death Star after Scarif and dying when the battle station was destroyed at Yavin.

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Krennic.

Orson Krennic advanced from a High Value Republic Naval Figure to one of the Empire's most renowned Weapons Directors, driven by ambition and a desire to beat his opponents. As Chief of Advanced Weapons Research and project leader for the Death Star Project “Star Dust”, he oversaw the design and construction of the superweapon that would characterize Imperial terror. He leveraged his friendship with scientist Galen Erso, after tracking him down and capturing him, to transform kyber crystal research into the Death Star's superlaser, presenting it as energy development while secretly developing it into a planet-killing machine to gain favor with Emperor Palpatine and power over Grand Moff Tarkin. As the station neared completion, Krennic's control over it slowly came to a close. Attempts to conceal leaks resulted in a test firing on Jedha, but the Rebels nevertheless attacked Scarif and obtained the Death Star's complete technical drawings. Krennic failed to stop them, so Tarkin destroyed the facility with the Death Star, murdering Krennic in the process. The stolen data quickly enabled the Rebels to destroy the battle station, bringing Krennic's life's work to an end as soon as it was revealed.

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What experiences do you have?:

DT Commander (VN(?)) Unsure about this one as it's kind of a Blur, possibly on VN 1.0.

ISB Director (VN) VN 1.0, was Krennic briefly before shutdown. Was unable to make any notable change within ISB.

ISB Deputy Director(VN) VN 1.0, forgot who I was at the time in this position, however I did make significant strides to change how ISB fundamentally works. Restructuring it to better suit a GMOD server rather than something like ARMA 3 or another RP game.

501st Commander (Unknown Server)

212th Commander (Unknown Server)

RG Lead (Unknown Server About 2 years ago)

Republic Commando Lead (Unknown Server)

Emperor Palpatine (For about 3 months, Unknown server.)

Multiple other positions that are not notable at this time.

Why do you wish to be a Commander?:

I wish to be a Commander because of my previous experience. I was practically robbed via server shutdown of ISB Director on my first attempt, and I'd love to try again, fully putting my plans into action, rather than leaving them high and dry.

I was going to wait it out in ISB before I decided to leave, as I was unhappy with how the situation unfolded, but now I have an opportunity to rectify the mistake I saw and experienced.

I share the same passion to lead as the other Commanders do, as well as hosting a happy, healthy and thriving battalion. Leading for me has always been a pleasure, as I'm always willing to listen and take action on criticism presented to me

What are your plans as Commander?:

In this position, I plan to revisit how ISB is structured, in terms of having Normal agents, and not forcing people down the path of AWR or Interceptor. I strongly believe that the backbone of ISB is its enlisted, not the specialized Agents. I also plan to restructure the onboarding process of ISB, I feel the Academy is great, and I plan to keep it in some sense, however I wish to modify and modernize it for ease-of-recruitment in the future, as well so that other future Directors have an easy time deciphering the onboarding process and can make changes as need be.

Another plan I have for ISB is rebuilding its reputation. As it stands currently ISB is not liked by many, and actively pursued by multiple battalions for the way they operate and “over-step” their bounds. I aim to fix this by revisiting operating procedures, much like my last points, however touching specifically on Agent demeanor towards situations and how ISB as a whole handles them.

How would you improve the roleplay of the Battalion/Group?:

As stated above ISB currently has a janky recruitment process, bad RP morale from other battalions and overall is seen as a problem rather than a tool, I aim to fix the issues with the ways I have described above, as well as identifying new issues as they occur, and solving them while small, to avoid blooming a bigger issue.

How active can you be in this position?:

Very.

Notes:

Thank you for taking the time to read my application. I can't wait to read all of the feedback!

I will be a completely honest and unbiased in my review. As I don't believe in Nepo-Babying.

From my prior experience with working with you on previous servers, you have proven to be trustworthy, level-headed and above all capable of not having Main Character Syndrome. On the first time I was on VN, observing you leading ISB you demonstrated to me that you showed a clear willingness to actually listen to feedback and take responsibility for your shortcomings.

Your mentioning of restructuring ISB actually made me realise that you are more than some idiot (I joke of course) I've played Gmod with before and that you somewhat have a foresight and an in depth understanding of what the regiment needs. Its nice to see someone trying to do something different rather than forcing systems that are designed for other "server types".

Your awareness stands out at this moment to others. As you're more or less openly acknowledging previous attempts that were cut short, imperfect or not realistic of a plan for ISB.

I of course throw no shade to previous leaders or members of ISB. As sometimes the wrong place at the wrong time can completely revoke any sort of respect any respect from a regiment.

From conversations I've had and second hand sources. I think your focus of making sure ISB is respected and roleplay oriented shows me you care about the long term stability of it.

I trust you, and I wish you all the best on your application.

Colton is a great choice for ISB, as his original goals and intentions were to climb up the ladder. Unfortunately, certain things have led to others where he had to leave ISB (I know about it, and honestly I don't blame him). He deserves this chance and his roleplay is crazy insane when he can actually do it. I also believe he can handle things way more diplomatically than the former and repair the relations between ISB and other regiments almost instantly. He's a good guy all around and I have seen him lead before and have no doubts of his capabilities in this position.

Apollo (post above) has also mentioned some really good points about you.

Good luck!

I know Colton very well, and I know that he's a great fit for this position. He has so many goals and plans for ISB that it's fucking insane to me. He is always trying to be ahead of the curve, and is a great roleplayer. Someone like this deserves to be the ISB Director, and I'll always be rooting for him.

I unfortunately cannot give my support for this application. When compared to other applicants, I cannot say with confidence that you are the strongest choice. I think it is imperative that we choose the best possible applicant, as to ensure ISB develops into a contributing part of the server, unlike how it has operated recently. Another minimizing factor for me is your list of experience. Most of your experience is vague, blurry, or “unknown”, some of them from “unknown” servers, to me this does not make the cut.

Signed,

I absolutely have faith that Colton can put ISB on the right path, again. I have got to experience a little bit of what he was doing when he was still Galen Erso, and I think that he deserves the chance to rebuild ISB and fix relations with other battalions. I have never seen him minge on the server, he knows how to roleplay, and he already has plans on what to do with ISB, along with his knowledge on everything that has happened within ISB since the server opened.

I am rooting for his success.

Neutral leaning +1

  • From my prior experiences with Colton they're a mighty fine roleplayer.

  • I was genuinely upset when Colton left ISB to begin with, I won't share our private conversations but the reasoning has since been solved.

Why I'm neutral:

  • The experience section could be better fleshed out, even if it's "Unknown" I'd recommend placing the server name regardless if you recall it.

  • I have questions about things stated in the application but those I can message you about in private.

  • I feel like the problem regarding you leaving could have been better solved had you brought it to a higher up's attention, what's done is done I just don't hope to see you have issues in the future and more or less "run away from your problems".

  • The big issue I have and I don't know if it's been stated here but I'll be the one to say it if not, allegedly following your resignation you deleted tons of ISB documents and things of that nature, I wouldn't be upset about it if it was roleplayed out but from my understanding it wasn't and at the end of the day you're ruining others people hard work and experience so if this is the case I'd like this to be addressed.

Howdy Strict, thank you for the Feedback. I will be the first to denounce these allegations completely. I did not and will not touch any ISB related Documents that I had made for ISB. Their documentation access has remained the same before, during and after my leave for the private reasons we discussed when that happened.

If anyone is confused as to what I am referencing here, "your resignation you deleted tons of ISB documents and things of that nature"

-Colton.
