5.8: show
Several years playing LS-RP and other notable servers, dabbled in roleplay in MMOs as well.

5.9. WHY DO YOU WISH TO JOIN THE SIB AS A MEDIA SPECIALIST? (Min. 200 words):


5.9: show
I have a strong passion for Public Information Officer and or media roleplay in general, I have always had great joy in portraying a character that gets into all types of different situations ranging from typical events to large scale ones, especially complex scenes which involve actual thought and consideration. The same can be said for writing as well and fact-checking as well, as some people try to mislead and or misinterpret what we're saying. Utilizing the power of social media, it can help improve and grow the Sheriffs Department image and help amplify our voice on important topics to the department, along with advocating and or asking the local community for assistance in areas such as a man hunt, or wanted individuals.

I can bring 2 years of experience with PR and media to the SIB team and help it grow even further to help develop community and press relations throughout the server. I've always wanted to get back into PR / PIO styles of roleplay after my several-month break from the server and I believe SIB is the right option for me. I aim to bring some great roleplay to the team and work on some fun events and work alongside the media with possible press conferences.


5.10. PLEASE WRITE YOUR INTENDED CHARACTER'S BACKSTORY (Min. 300 words):


5.10: show
Melissa "Mel" Rhodes grew up in Dutchess County with a small family, she wasn't outgoing as during the early stage of her life, only when she reached high school she finally was outgoing enough to form a small collective group of friends who she trusts to this very day. Her father was a former marine who was ultimately discharged due to medical reasons after a tour in Afghanistan in 2008 and her mother was a military spouse who spent most of her time cheating on her husband with a few associates around the local neighborhood, he'd never find out until the divorce that she was cheating.

Melissa's tenure at the high school was nothing special, she didn't hit any outstanding grades or was top of the books, she was just a typical average student who kept to herself and her circle of close friends. She was not a troublemaker by any means, but she knew how to press some people's buttons and find it too great amusement to herself, a trait that she keeps to this very day.

It was time for Melissa to move onto the thing that she did enjoy especially, writing and talking. She enrolled at Dutchess Community College, despite her parent's wishes to go into the military service, leaving her to do it herself. Melissa had to move away from her friends and family to focus solely on university which sent her into an emotional state for the early phase of college. The sadness of missing her parents and her high school friends did impact her early education in the University. Despite the mounting bills and high costs, she pushed on through the years, knuckling down and studying hard, at great last she found success, passing her bachelor's. During the graduation, her parents never attended, yet her old friends did, something which remains on Melissa's mind to this day, slowly growing a strong hatred towards her mother especially.

After the joys of college and the mounting bills ringing around her ears, Melissa found employment at the Dutchess County Sheriff's Office as a Public Information Officer, during her 5 years serving as a PIO, Melissa liaised with the local media, the civilians during events and plenty of press releases for OIC's (Officer Involved Shootings). After 5 years at the Sheriff's Office, Melissa and some of the other PIOs were called into a meeting, the meeting announced they were being laid off due to budget cuts. Melissa took the rest of the year off and took a break, spending time with her cat, before picking up and moving on from New York to find a new adventure for both of them.

Dear Ms. Rhodes:

We have evaluated your application and qualifications for the position of Media Specialist.

We are pleased to inform you that you have passed your Written Test. The next step in the recruitment process is to attend a Structured Interview with a Background Investigations Deputy. At your earliest convenience, please report to the Hall of Justice in formal clothing at 300 Innocence Boulevard, Los Santos, San Andreas. Make sure to bring an identification card, a copy of this invitation, and relevant diplomas.

(( The Hall of Justice can be located here.

You can use "/gps Hall of Justice" in-game to find the location. There will not always be someone working the reception desk, if you arrive and no one is at the desk feel free to walk past and head up to the second floor where the Training Bureau is located. Keep in mind your ID would have been checked along with all other required paperwork and your name would be forwarded to the Background Investigations Unit deputies.

At this point wait in the lobby just outside the elevator until a deputy arrives to complete your interview. While the Structured Interview does not contain a Teamspeak portion, we ask you to join the Legal Factions Teamspeak (ts.gta.world) and wait in the "Lobby" channel under the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department channel family. A member of the Background Investigations Unit will contact you depending on their availability and schedule the in-character interview. You are not required to wait here in-game and can just wait in Teamspeak until a deputy is available.

Please ensure that your name is in the following format: [APPLICANT] Firstname Lastname. ))

Sincerely,

JOSEPH CLINE, SHERIFF
