MINISTER OF INTELLIGENCE APPLICATION
• Primary CIS Character: Zentripoli
• Intended Minister of Secrets Character: Zentripoli
• Willing to Lead: Yes. I have led many stories and RP forum organizations for many years, but on sites such as SWRP and Mass Effect Universe.
• About You: Glad to be here! I have a strike against me: I am new to the site. However, that is my only detractor, if considered as much. This also gives you someone with a fresh perspective, who has no leanings whatsoever. I want everyone who is in the Ministry of Intelligence to be a part of the story.
ZENTRIPOLI (The character)
While at first glance, one might not picture the diminutive alien as an ideal Minister of Intelligence. However, as one considers the possibility, it starts to make a lot of sense. Without editing a single thing on the character sheet, he is a fantastic fit for this position.
Zentripoli is a Viceroy and a company owner, used to running and managing thousands of people. He was designed to be a leader. Columi, as one of the most intelligent species in the galaxy, always remain four steps ahead of their opposition. If there is a new skill to learn, the Columi can study it and become an expert in record time.
The challenge for Zentripoli of making CIS Intelligence the most robust, effective and feared organization is a tremendous one. He relishes the opportunity to outsmart, outmaneuver and outplay the opposition at every turn. To him, it is much like a game, such as chess, putting the perfect pieces in the perfect spot to be successful. Zentripoli will be the Minister that looks out for all his little “birds”. His approach to the organization will be methodical, always having goals that have the organization in a better place than when it started. As a loose example, his approach might be the following:
1) Recruit and train the best possible “birds” within the CIS
2) Fill out the organization with loyal, dutiful personnel
3) Assess the threats of every sovereignty and organization within “arm’s reach” of CIS territory
4) Began building profiles on every entity and formulating an approach of intelligence efforts specific to each threat.
5) Begin operations on all the assessed entities, allocating more resources to the bigger threats
6) Meet with the other Ministries and determine the Ministry of Intelligence’s role and how they can support them
More ideas to come along this vein. Zentripoli will be a fun, interesting character to interact with, both within the Ministry of Intelligence and to others outside of that division.
ME (Mithias)
I am a bit biased for Zentripoli to become Minister of Intelligence due to my time spent in Naval Intelligence IRL. There are so many stories to be crafted from an intelligence organization and it is usually my preference in RP for characters, so I have done it a long time. I love to get stories going that give others the opportunity to shine. I enjoy the organization and storycrafting as much, if not more, than the actual writing itself. I think this is a great way to bring what I can offer to bear and provide a fleshed out, fun organization within the CIS faction.
I have been a staff member for a few sites in the past, created and run dozens of organizations, and provided memorable stories for all who were involved. Tooting my own horn is not something I enjoy doing, but in interviews and applications, you kinda have to.
Thank you for the opportunity to apply!
