Ethereal's GM Application

Before I say anything, I've heard from several people that apparently you need two missions completed before applying to be a GM officially. However, looking through the wiki articles regarding becoming a GM this is never stated. If this is the case, ignore this application completely and I'll bump it once those prerequisites complete. Be aware however that the current posting pace is once a week (I'm looking to accelerate it once we have more players) and therefore it may be months before I can apply if this is the case despite GMing that long.

Also, if this is in the wrong subforum the link in the wiki article about becoming a GM is broken so I've had to guess.

In addition, I couldn't find anyone else's applications so I'm sort of doing my best with the template since there's no template in the wiki article easily translated to a forum post.

If someone could explain to me how I get a Co-GM of my choosing the banner too that would be appreciated since I've heard a lot of conflicting things and I'm confused. Thanks!

Your plot concept
The newly commissioned crew of the YSS Wyvern set out to police the vast reaches of space controlled by the Star Army of Yamatai. With the blanket reformation of the Star Army Military Police sparking funding being redirected several ships like it have been rolled out.

Their missions include reclaiming mutinied ships (which will come rarely), running down deserters, Yamatai/Elysia border patrol, raiding terrorist cells, detective work, planetary policing, VIP escort and most importantly anti-espionage - perhaps even anti-corruption work (as Wes deems appropriate). In addition, if they are in the position to assist another vessel and it doesn't impede their work they will assist.

The ship's members are all inducted into the Military Police Investigators with secondary specialties such as engineer etc., however some of them may have been in the Investigators before their reform - meaning their vetting process may have been lax.

Some of them may have ulterior motives or unknown loyalties like any soldier yet weren't vetted out because of this. If they decide to play with an agenda, across their service they may be passed tasks to be rewarded depending on their difficulty and advance the plot as well as provide interesting situations for the other players.


Your plot format.
The plot will be mostly play-by-play single posts, however players are encouraged to joint post.

Your previous experience with running plots
None, though I have used NPCs and issued orders to other characters under the rank of my character to advance a plot.

I'm sure several players from the Kaiyo plot would give references to my writing ability. Writing samples available on request as they will copypasta this application too much.


Your normal daily schedule and free time
Honestly, almost all my day is free time. I work on GMT (PST-7) time as I'm from England which is a little awkward but it doesn't affect posting that much. I usually get up around 10am and go to sleep maybe 2am.


Other Items of Interest
I chose Star Army over other sites because I couldn't find any Military Roleplay sites with anything close to the activity of Star Army.

I have no art skills but I know about a dozen programming languages, if you ever want an app or website made.

I do not have a military background other than coming from a majority military family, however I've been active on several forms of Serious Military RP over the past few years. Last roleplaying server I was on I racked up 1,500 hours of playtime, became a Moderator and headed the Military Police Corps - where I managed 40 enrolled players so we always had someone online 24/7 in case IC matters occurred.


18+ Content
No, not explicitly.


Overall Theme
Catch bad guys, try to take things efficiently and capture rather than blowing things up.


Mission Plan
Available on request, currently underway.


Recruiting Plan
I will mostly be recruiting inside the community, though wherever possible I'll obviously be taking from outside the community. Several players in my plot are currently bringing their IRL friends into the plot. I drew the interest of around 4 players internally with my initial interest check and since then 3 more have expressed interest.

@Wes

Any questions please ask and I will answer to the best of my ability. Thanks!
