Describe your activity on the server:
I don’t have a set schedule for when I’m on or not, though I usually am on every day for at least 7 hours a day.
What is your motivation for applying?:
I'm almost in my fourth year of playing SRP consistently, so I've been in factions such as Caretaker, Shrine Maiden, Shopkeeper, Reporter [x2], EMS [x2], Teacher [x3], the crime faction for gangs, regular crime, and BMDA [x2], and even in sports factions like College Fem Football and Highschool Track [x2]. I know I've been in a lot of factions, though the only two I haven't been in at the Government and KPD factions, which I know I want to stay in for a long while, even extending up to over two years. Another factor is that my first-ever faction application was for KPD, though the denied application was deleted shortly after. After being denied for the first time, I never knew if I genuinely wanted to be in the faction, so I allowed myself to experience other types of RP, groups of people, and factions before deciding on what I wanted to do. I never dared to make a second attempt at getting into the faction until right now, so I hope if I do get into the faction, that I get to meet more people, build a bigger friend group, and gain more experience in both RP and server-wise.

What knowledge do you have of Police Work?
Police in general are people who promise to protect and serve the community they’re meant to work in. Some main jobs they do are assisting citizens [could be at the front desk or even taking reports], patrolling the city to make sure everything is safe and no crime is happening, and even arresting criminals [can even be interrogating]. Police do a lot both OOCly and ICly, that their job can be tiring, yet very rewarding nine times out of ten. While police work ICly is very similar to OOC police work, there are a few differences when it comes to some of the ranks and jobs some do.

[IC]
There are two groups of officers, that being the Detective Division and the Main Division. The Main Division [highest ranking → lowest ranking] includes the Captain, Lieutenant, Sergeant, Corporal, Patrol Officer, and Cadet. On the other hand, the Detective Divison [highest ranking → lowest ranking] goes by the Detective Superintendent, Chief Inspector, Detective Inspector, Detective Sergeant, and the Detective Constable. Of course, the police are led by the Commissioner.

[OOC]
In this case, there are two groups of officers, plus an extra. What can be considered the ‘Main Divison’ are [highest ranking → lowest ranking] Field Ops Patrol Captain, Patrol Sergeants, normal Patrol Officers, and P/T Reserve Patrol Officers. For the ‘Detective Division’ [highest ranking → lowest ranking], there would be the CID/SS Captain. Detective Sergeant, First Sergeant, and other Detectives. Though, regular Detectives are separated by Street, Poisons, Enforcement, Eradication, and Directive. The plus one would be the Administrative Assistant, also referred to as internal affairs, who manages accounts, creates annual reports, and handles personal reports, which is also under the Police Chief. The ranking is similar in many departments but can be slightly different depending on the country, state, or even county.

Why is Police important to SchoolRP?
While every role that’s created in SchoolRP is important to the server in its way, there are a few reasons why police are one of the most important. Publicly known, the server has almost always been very CrimeRP and GangRP based, which causes a high crime rate in Karakura in-character, so there’s almost always some kind of crime going on in any part of the city. Police are important to the city to set an in-character and out-of-character example of how Karakura is both protected and held under surveillance to keep the crime rates as low as they are now. If we never had Police in the server at all, there would be constant deaths, events, or anything else happening with no kind of RP to stop or help the situation out at all. Yes, the Police DO lower the crime rates, but when situations are happening out around Karakura, the Police are there to de-escalate and stop the situation from getting worse. In all, the Police Faction adds on a huge section of RP, whether through crime, natural disaster events, or anything else that I don’t believe we’d have without them being here in the first place.

Do you acknowledge that if training is held whilst you are online, you are needed to attend or you will be punished?
Yes, I understand that I may be punished if I fail to attend and I’m online.

Calico O’SullivanOmori

31

What are your character's gender and pronouns?:
Female, she/they

Please select your highest academic role at the time of writing this application:
(Grade-12/Bachelors/Masters/PhD):

What languages does your character know besides Japanese?:
Italian & French

Describe your character; how they look, what makes them unique?
At first glance, Calico looks like she’s been in Karakura for a while. She seemingly frequently walks with confidence, her head held high, however, her shoulders and movements are tense. Her skin is littered with weapon scars, burn scars, and unknown, almost permanent bruising from whatever she’s done in the past. Calico’s eyes are both prosthetic, and her right hand goes halfway up her forearm. A very faded tattoo of a deck of cards runs down the left side of her neck while a full-sleeve tattoo of cherry blossoms runs down her left arm, where you’ll eventually see the centipede tattoo from her side, all the way down her right leg.

How does your character act in a professional/casual situation?
In any situation, Calico is frequently open, honest, and respectful when it comes to interacting with other people. While the professional and casual sides of her have many similarities, there are some differences personality-wise when she’s faced with something.

Professional
While she usually isn’t professional, Calico can switch herself to be that way in just a snap of a finger. Along with her appearance, Calico can relax and can even be described as patient and collected when dealing with professional situations. Even though she may not enjoy being professional all of the time, she knows there will be times when she has to be that way to not only get her point across the right way but to also set an example to her co-workers and family of how they should act in certain situations where they need to be serious and respectful.

Causal
In casual situations, despite her appearance and movements, Calico is a very easy-going and caring person, though she can be described as stubborn, but even outgoing when it comes to a casual scenario. When in casual conversations, Calico can be very loud, crack jokes, or even show her stubborn side by frequently disagreeing with people just to debate with them on whether she’s right or not. Some may call her disrespectful during these times, though she does it to understand the other person’s point of view on everything.

What is their outlook on the idea of co-workers & teamwork?
While in Karakura, Calico has been a caretaker, teacher, shrine maiden, and reporter two times, so she knows how to work in a team very well. While she may want to work on her own sometimes, she knows that she’ll always have to end up working with somebody, so it’s something that she’s learned to enjoy over the years. Her co-workers aren’t just people she sees now and then, she sees them as a sort of family, people she cares about and wants to keep safe. Calico wants the best for her co-workers, so she’ll do anything in her power to keep them well and happy whether she’s on or off duty, even lending a shoulder for them to cry on.

On the topic of co-workers, teamwork is often a factor that often comes into play. At first, she knew nothing about teamwork, but as she began to experience other factions and groups of people, she grew to like the idea of teamwork. Working with other people on a big project or dream is an amazing idea to her, especially if they all have the same or a similar end goal is something that she wants to help them reach. Even if she doesn’t get them all the way there, Calico wants to give them as big of a push forward as she can to make them happy and fulfilled.

What's your character's backstory?
[The Beginning]
AGES 1 - 13
Born in the cold alleyways in Southern France, on December 16th, 1993, was 'CALICO' O'Sullivan. Growing up, the girl ironically lived in a small apartment in a neighborhood, in Marseille, France, known for its high crime rates with her sister and parents. For the girl and her sister, communication rarely happened in the household since nobody ever wanted to talk about their days or how they felt about something. This created a tense and uneasy living environment for the girls, resulting in the house never being talked in unless it was very important. Nothing seemed to happen for years, though that was until their father, Darren O’Sullivan, had decided that it was his time to leave the house for good. The next weeks were spent looking around, searching, calling, and doing anything to find Victoria’s loving husband so everything could go back to normal, which was never the outcome.

Knowing that this couldn’t be their fate, something they couldn’t do for the rest of their lives, the two girls started to get used to not seeing their father around the house. However, the outcome was different for their mother, she became lazy, less willing to work or find a job, and she even refused to get out of bed to take care of anything. Until 'CALICO' was old enough to help around the house, her sister started to make meals, help out their mother, and even do the chores while trying to learn at the same time. Soon enough, the girl grew up and started being able to help out, she even took up the side hobby of taking self-defense classes so she could keep both herself and her sister safe in case anything happened.

[Runaways]
AGES 14 - 17
Suddenly, in the middle of the night, 'CALICO' was awoken by her elder sister, telling her that she had a plan to get out of the house and away from their mother for good. Just some minutes later, the two had snuck out of their room to grab their mother’s ID and credit card, buying two plane tickets to someplace other than France, hoping to leave forever. The next day, the two girls spent their time getting everything they needed, making sure to hide it in the instance that their mother got up and looked around for anything, which was something she normally did. That same night, the two snuck out of their bedroom window, running to the nearest airport they booked with their luggage so they could finally escape from Marseille, leaving their past behind them.

A brutal, anxiety-filled 21 hours pass once they board the plane, leading them to finally land in Karakura, Japan. Fortunately for the two girls, they had the time to seek shelter under an apartment block before nighttime fell. As the week passes, her sister finds a job, and 'CALICO' gets enrolled in Karakura High School, finally able to go to school since they left their old home. Rather quickly, the girl was able to make friends with people who could understand Italian and French, and who were willing to help her learn Japanese so she could understand them and the lessons she was being taught. Little did she know, the girl was getting herself into big trouble even before she could be aware of it.

[Settled In]
AGES 18 - 24
With years passing, the girl and her sister find a way to sneak their way into a family, though what they don’t know is that they are in a crime family, which was popular for Karakura at the time. Now happy and comfortable in the Scaletta family, the two girls start to indulge in petty crimes such as minor theft, trespassing, assault, and some other similar crimes. Eventually, their small, petty crimes turned into felonies, holding onto weapons, selling illegal items, etc. Eventually, the family allied and merged into a gang, which led the girl and her sister into their first gang war. Luckily, the girl had survived at least four attempts on her life at the time. Nothing else major happened during this time, though something new happened.

All of a sudden, 'CALICO' and her sister decided to make a family, bringing in any allied members from gangs. This wasn’t only to give them an excuse for being out in large groups, but it also gave people a supportive group of people who could be called their family if they had nobody else. At the time, the family was open to anybody who wanted to seek a group of people, which was mainly used for protection. While running the O’Sullivan family, the girl and her sister had left their current ‘group’ to join others, which led to the girl being with the wrong crowd. Not long after, the woman’s grades began to greatly decrease as she started to act out on school grounds with her ‘friends’. Unfortunately, this led to the girl being expelled soon before she entered her second gang war not long after.

Not much else happened during the girl’s time in Karakura after the pointless war ended other than her joining other groups, even going on to co-lead one that she would only call ‘A’. It wasn’t anything special, but it took a toll on her before she finally decided to leave, ensuring she could survive and be there for the family and friends she needed to take care of.

[Recovery]
AGES 25 - 30
While years passed and the woman both physically and mentally started to grow up, trying to leave her criminal era, she decided to apply for a spot as a Caretaker at the high school she used to attend before her expulsion. While working, she eventually became the head of the department for caretakers, but she unfortunately left due to returning to her old ways of crime. A while later, she left the same group she calls ‘A’ to make her own, ensuring that it was similar to a family, more like a haven for criminals to have protection while committing crimes together. Now that she had another group of people to take care of and help support in many ways, the woman decided it a good idea to take up a new job, now applying for the Reporter faction.

Months pass while she’s working and leading, and everything seems to be fine. However, when Calico was taking photos of an area for her job, she was suddenly kidnapped for a month where she would then lose her right hand and left eye. With the woman left scared to death once again, she leaves behind her crime life, hoping to do so for good. To ensure she could do just that, she left her job as a reporter to join the shrine as a Maiden.

While working in the shrine, the woman proposes to her girlfriend. Now engaged to the woman she loves the most, 'CALICO' plans the marriage, gets everything ready, and the marriage goes well. Continuing to work, she gets through October with just a cut on her arm and missing her right eye, making her completely blind. However, this didn’t stop her from doing her jobs the best she could, as well as visiting her wife, friends, and family. Some while later, her wife would then break up with her, become a corrupt cop, and even unfortunately lose her life due to this.

[Current Day]
AGE 31
With her wife’s passing, the woman couldn’t bring herself to continue her work. It was a difficult decision for her to make, but it’s what she had to do, putting herself first was hard, but she managed to do so, leaving her job. Not long after, she decided she would want to be a judge, though after careful consideration, the woman decided to go back to her old job as a reporter. Without a second thought, Calico went right back into crime as an associate, hoping to earn more money on the side of her current job. However, neither her job nor her side job worked out for her very long.

Rather quickly, the woman left the Reporters once again to pursue being a teacher, which also didn’t last too long. However, she managed to pull through only a few months as a Physical Education teacher before she left, allowing herself to wander the city and take care of her family, friends, and anybody else she needed to focus on. On the same note as taking a break for herself, Calico eventually went and took more self-defense classes to keep herself updated with everything important around it as she filled out her application for the Karakura Police Department.

If you see your co-workers physically abusing an inmate, what should you do?
Immediately, I would put myself between the officer(s) and the inmate involved without any kind of hesitation. In an attempt to de-escalate the situation, the officers will be brought away and the inmate will remain in their cell. Each side will separately tell their story so I can figure it out before doing anything else, which will also de-escalate the situation. Afterward, the correct higher-up(s) will be informed about the situation and they’ll be the ones to decide on what happens to both of the officers. Even if we have more authority over people doesn’t mean we should use it to our advantage, especially if it means physically assaulting anybody, not even an inmate.

What should you do if you see your co-worker being assaulted?
I would immediately want to stop the altercation, though there can be different ways of doing so depending on the situation. No matter what goes on, I know that I should stay calm, try to keep my mind clear, and focus on what’s going on rather than what can happen in the future to lower the percentage of a possible mess-up. At the end of any situation, I will make sure my colleague is checked out at the hospital, where I will stay with them until they don’t need me.

Example One - No Weapons:
If no weapons are to be involved in the situation, I would tell everybody to back away from the officer while having my taser out and ready to use. If continued, they’ll receive a second verbal warning after I fire the Taser into the air and call for backup, giving information on the situation, if necessary. If all else fails and the people continue or even run, they will be tased. In a situation like this, charges like the assault on a government official, or anything else may be added depending on the situation.

Example Two - Weapons:
If weapons are to be involved in the situation, backup will be called immediately and they will be given the information on the altercation. It doesn’t matter whether the weapons are blunt or not in my eyes since both can do very bad damage to the person being attacked, but it will be said whether sharps or blunts are involved. If I could get the people to drop weapons and get on the wall, it would be the ideal way to stop it, but it’s almost impossible. With tranquilizers and tasers ready, we could circle and surround the area to give them no room to work with, forcing them to give up unless they’re tased or tranquilized. When the situation is handled, the criminal(s) will be arrested and charged with assault on a government official, and an assault charge depending on what’s being used as the weapon.

What do you do if you find out that your co-worker is corrupt and is helping criminal organizations?
Before trying to get any sort of evidence of this, I’ll make sure to inform a higher-up about anything like this that happens because it can cause harm to both the community and the department. Once I notify the higher-ups, I would give any information I have about it to them, along with the evidence if I have any to show them. Giving evidence of this happening will make it easier for a punishment to be given to the officer(s) who are helping criminal organizations. Lastly, sharing this information with anybody else shouldn’t even be a thought running through my mind because I know it’ll be handled accordingly by anybody who needs to deal with it.

How would you react to a criminal trying to bribe you?
There wouldn’t be an immediate charge given since there should be a verbal warning at first so the criminal is allowed to re-think their choices. However, if they continue trying to bribe me with anything, they’ll be given the Bribery charge since it’s trying to prevent me from doing my job.​
