As for Reborn, I’ve created and ran through a lot of thorough events, but here’s a sneak peek and an open storyline that I have recently been working on once more. It's a good read, I promise.

Zann Consortium <--- Very Cool Storyline Read If you want :)



QUESTIONNAIRE
The Gamemaster role requires creativity, knowledge, and most of all, vision.
Answer these questions as best you can to demonstrate these attributes.
Minimum effort will not be tolerated.

What is your level of experience with Garry’s Mod construction and tools?


Personally, I would say that I have a pretty hefty experience with building and construction tools all together. Especially when dealing with the server's tools for months. Even upon returning to the server I have been requested to help build already, so to an extent i would say i am pretty experienced with Garry’s Mod Construction and tools.

Why do you want to become a Gamemaster?

Very good question, upon pondering about the thought, I truly do have a burning passion to host events and entertain players within the server. Multiple qualities that I have benefit from my ideas when it comes to thinking about events. Especially when I partake in some. I think about “ Oh if I were running this I would make that change or maybe add this in!” Multiple times I think to myself, about cool instruments I can add to events which truly show the passionate side of me when it comes to hosting events.
For Example, I will proceed to break down some simple qualities that i believe reside within me.


Dependability

Overall, I feel like I’m a dependable individual. Usually when someone asks me a question or wants something done, I can accomplish those tasks effectively. I take care in the work I do and make sure I’m thorough when completing work to ensure nothing needs to be fixed or drastically updated later down the line. I work quite methodically, and so I keep lists of tasks that need to be done and keep important dates in mind for meetings and deadlines to ensure I’m working on time. Being a Gamemaster requires you to work within a team of multiple individuals. and generally, you are looked up to as someone to be trusted in dealing with any issue that could arise within events or uptime on the server. Learning and improving my dependability has been a focus of mine for a while now, and I feel I could definitely offer this as a quality to the GM Team, considering I've been asked to already help with construction on the server since my return.

Communication

I think I'm quite a direct person because I often say what's on my mind and inform others of my thoughts and needs. And I'm definitely honest, considering my mouth can go on a tanget here and there. However, I'm also an empathetic person, so I'm able to consider the context and position of others when making decisions. I realize how important it is to listen attentively to others, so it's a skill that I constantly and consciously work on improving. I believe this makes talking to all gamemasters as a team and players in their own way a smoother experience and gives me the ability to properly communicate what needs done within events, or the context within a situation.

Willingness to teach

I've always been more than willing to teach other incoming or veteran gamemasters on tips and tricks when it comes to running events or giving input on construction or event related topics. I find enjoyment watching someone learn something new and then apply it into scenarios that they experience. This is something I will continue to try and improve on and better myself so that I'm able to better teach and assist any individual during any general scenario.


My Biggest Strength and Weakness

My biggest strength is probably Communication, I'm able to communicate well with others and can always be reached usually. Anytime someone has come to me for discussions or anything I've always given them feedback I knew they could understand/Not make them aggressive during the conversation. My Biggest weakness is probably my lack of common sense when it comes to situations where I will extensively not see the barebones of when it comes time to stop messing around, or when it comes to picking up a basic social queue.

Activity

Activity is probably the very basic and key component in any position you apply for. Being active and engaging with the community is something that’s pretty much required of anyone going for Gamemaster or any other position. I believe that I’m quite active in all forms of the community whether it be TeamSpeak, In-Game, discord, and even the forums. I’m always engaged with the community somehow in many forms even when I’m not at my community. Granted, I’m not obsessed with the community and Reborn as a whole, I’m merely enjoying my time here and interacting with everyone.


Aspirations


I wish to continue building on my existing skill set and experience to provide good and thought through entertainment for the community. With this I wish to continue and pick back up on a couple of storylines I was running previously and continue to expand on that content. Without getting ahead of myself too much, with some time it would be nice to try and work for an overall position where I can benefit everyone's experience on the server.


Burning Passion

The last point I would like to point out is my passion to improve when it comes to being a gamemaster. Things like feedback are things I consistently seek as an individual on the server as I strive to improve overall. One thing i still ask to do from here to there is to build when I'm allowed. For example when I returned to the server I asked for a temporary role that would allow me to help build with a certain event. Secondly, when the transfer to the new map came out I rushed to staff to ask if I could help decorate or build in order to directly help out with what I could. There is no sight near that would want me to end building or hosting events for players.



Why should the community support your application, and what makes you more qualified than other players?

Once again, a very good question. I’ve joined the server recently, leaving back in late march, and after venturing back through a lot of content within the server I've honestly wanted to try something once again within the server and play from a different perspective than I used to before with being a gamemaster. I want to create fun and exciting content for the community where its members can enjoy their time playing, where my ultimate goal is to always strive to create exciting new content for JvS players during the day. For example, help placing things down, hosting Events, Training’s etc.

Have you ever assisted in an event on Reborn in the past?

I Won't Drag This Section on too long, But yes i have and previously stated have assisted in both events already since i returned both on GM And event character side, Even partaking as a Assistance Gamemaster with the Dark saber Event as of recent.

How well could you adapt to unplanned circumstances in something you have planned?

I’d say with the plenty of experience I have under my belt, I can always pan out a fun experience for a player during an event whichever path they wish to take. When it comes to events you always have to think about one step ahead and program your mind to act as a flow chart predicting what the players are going to do next, which you can surmise the outcome that will surface.

What interests you most in the Star Wars universe?

I think since my last application my interest in the franchise hasn't really changed. Other than the storyline related to legends like the Zann Consortium. I’ve recently been reading up upon the legends based off of the Republic Commando’s and that's been gathering my interest. I think more or less troopers in the star wars universe have a much more intriguing grasp when it comes to stories because they’re regular people that make a difference in the franchise without using force powers. A lot of them are star figures like boba fett, Din Jarin, Kal Skirata, Darmann, etc.

Now, taking what most interests you, craft a high-quality multi-part storyline (with characters, branches, anything that you see fit) that you could create multiple events from.

Now As Cool as it would be to simply post The Zann Consortium storyline I'm working on here, it just isn't something I would like to host just yet, but much appreciated if you checked it out!

Story

The 81st and Havoc Squad were sent on a mission near the moon of Lodos to investigate a criminal organization named Waku Nala who’ve been known to commit many crimes with the biggest being Illegal weapons development and kidnapping. Once in the area of the moon they were shot down by a massive turret with condensed proton torpedoes where the battalions luckily survived by escaping on escape pods onto the moon's surface but unfortunately landed in different spots on the surface and must find each other and escape but it won’t be easy as they unluckily dropped straight into the Waka Nala’s main base of operations. Will they survive? Who knows.

The Waka Nala is a criminal group of non-human alien species speaking a different language, they’ve been known to do illegal weapons development and creating illegal contraband weaponry that’ll cause serious damage in the wrong hands.
