Past experience as a Game Master: I was a game master for about a year and a half, and focused heavily on plot heavy, dupe centric events, trying to create an environment of fun, immersive, roleplay focused experiences, where people would almost forget they are in GMod.

Why should we choose you over other applicants?:

 My experience provides a sort of expertise in the art form of creating events. I believe with my various talents, which include in depth roleplay, writing and most importantly, an understanding of GMod and the props that we have our disposal to create, excellent dupes within the confines of the server limits, I think I would excel, at bringing a fresh roleplay and dupe focused perspective towards events, to the server; that also provides people sandboxes to immerse themselves into the mission and inspire a sense of character building, roleplay and interactivity.

I also am a creative writer as a hobby, and a long time Dungeon Master, so I enjoy creating long form stories. As I have observed most missions are often one offs, I believe that, putting a bigger emphasis on the stories, will inspire players to get connected and attached to the stories and the server, and inspire people to want to get on so that they can see the next chapters of the story that I am telling. Another thing is I am good at painting detailed pictures through the event text, and getting players involved in the roleplay, using detailed, interactive scenarios, and scenarios; getting players involved and getting in character. All these things in considering, I believe; that with all my skills, I could deliver highly detailed, entertaining, immersive roleplay experiences giving players a phenomenal experience that keeps them coming back.

Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details: [Instance was DMed to GM Director]

 

How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: I am currently unemployed, so I can provide forty+ hours a week to the role

 

In your own words, what are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?:  A gamemasters responsibilities are to provide excellent experiences to the player, that makes them want to keep coming back to the server. Their responsibility is also to be somewhat good role models and ambassadors to the server, and be constructive and helpful to their fellow game makers, and always willing to help others

 

Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team: as stated previously, I have a lot of experience as a game master previously, along with being a long standing TTRPG DM for five years. I believe I can bring an in depth roleplay that describes vivid scenarios to the players, and an immersive experience that players can get into the scenario and feel what it's like to fight in clone wars.

 

Explain your single most creative idea for contributing to the RP environment of the server: I have an interesting idea that I desire to explore. I like to explore a campaign, centered around a primitive planet. It would start off, focusing on separatist invasion of this planet, and the planet's attempt to hold separatist back. Eventually they get a message out trying to the void for help, which would be received by Republic forces, I then imagine there could be several guerilla missions, while Republic prepares to fight back, and then we can have the Republic's liberation of the planet, as a full blown campaign, as I would coordinate with COs and players, about the next steps they like to take in this liberation campaign.

 

Please list and explain 5 unique event ideas of any scale: 

One of my ideas is to revisit my very first ever storyline, my storyline focused on the idea of basically a Mad Scientist turning Clones into Droids. I would like to revisit that idea but touch it up; update it and modernize it. With my improved duping abilities, I think I could accurately portray the idea, with a genuine level of body horror, not seen in GMod usually. I also could further explore the motivations of my villain, and the horrors that he has done to people. I think it would be interesting, as going by what I know about the SWCWRP community, they A. highly value clones and B. really hate clankers, so mixing those two, I think could produce incredibly interesting roleplay opportunities, when the players are faced with an actual monster, and it could easily motivate them to want to take this villain down.

Another idea I have, is admittingly on the sillier side, but still one I would love to explore. I am a massive Godzilla fan, and I would love to explore a Kaiju storyline. The idea I think I would want to go with, is that the Separatist have developed this hideous monster, that we don’t encounter for a long time, but during the first few events, we always encounters the remains or left overs after this monster has attacked, until eventually we do encounter the monster, in a fierce battle, where it escapes. We further learn, that the Separatist created two of these monsters, but one escaped, and we could do force rp, where the Jedi bond with this creature, and use it to help defeat the Separatist version of the monster, but unfortunately, the creatures DNA was unstable, and by the end; both monsters eventually die. I think it would be neat, playing with these large city environments and slowly building up to the monster reveal.

Another idea I would have is something called The Dark Matrix. An Ancient Rakatan Bio-Mechanical Force weapon, which was used to psychologically torture their slaves. It would project peoples worse nightmares, by tapping into the dark side of the force, basically slowly killing them. The weapon was lost, but was uncovered by an ambitious CIS general, and has been used against the Republic, but slowly overtime, the Dark Matrix, itself has been corrupting and taking over the mind of the Commander, that the troopers would uncover over time, through various logs they discover. The Dark Matrix would utilize a mixture of standard events, against the CIS; and these Nightmare events, where the Dark Matrix is deployed, and causes the Troopers to enter into these nightmare states. This would be a RP heavy eventline, focusing on trauma that both clones and Jedi have experienced, possibly incorporating previous major events in the servers history, to add to it. I think it would be quite fun, and really get people invested into their characters

Another idea I have, also oddly enough related to the Rakatans, is this storyline, related to a cult that is led by one of the few Rakatans left who has force sensitivity. I am thinking that this storyline, focuses on this cult trying to grow their power base, on the fringe of Republic and Separatist Society, as this Lord of the Rakata, tries to basically rebuild the Infinite Empires strength on the fringes of society. I think it will be a fun storyline to explore, and really give the server a somewhat prominent antagonist to work against, the servers own dooku so to speak; basically a major character that the server can collectively hate, and try to stop.
 

Another idea I have is based around the idea of a Jedi, who long ago, took the Jedi code literally, who had begun dabbling in sith alchemy, became a flesh plague, and tried to basically make everyone one with him, and thus one with the “force.” He was eventually sealed away by the Jedi. Though during the Clone Wars, due to Separatist meddling, they accidentally released this rogue Jedi, and now this flesh virus is beginning to ravage nearby space, and the Republic has to stop it, before it gets out of hand. I think this could be an interesting exploration of Jedi philosophy, and what if one took it too far. Exploring a sort of paradoxical Light Side - Dark Side Force User. Along with that, it could be used for very immersive horror event ideas, built upon stopping this grave threat that is growing in power. The event line would be really centered around that in essence, stopping this fallen Jedi, from turning everything into one being, and fulfilling in his mind the Jedi code.

DENIED

After deliberation with the StarWarsRP Gamemaster Leadership Team, we have decided to deny your GM Application. This is largely in-part to some, but not limited to, the below reasons:

Not enough time

Note: Though you are very active on the server and have the GM experience, you still don't have enough time to fully utilize each battalion/cert to their fullest for events. I recommend wait the 2 weeks and try to reapply!
