Do you acknowledge that if you are inactive you will be demoted?:
Yes
School Employee Role you are applying for?:
Chef
In as much detail as possible, describe the employee role you are applying for:
Well, in my understanding of the profession itself, both in real life and in SchoolRP, chef is the school role that you are designed to serve food to the students. On the server, the times when food is served are during breakfast (The options are something a bit lighter, you know? Just enough to provide the energy needed to start the day. Currently, things like omelets and fruit are usually served) and at lunchtime (Lunch here is more substantial, with a good deal of variety. This makes sense, of course, since we’re more active at that time of day and are burning through much of that energy. Some varieties I have already seen Miso soup, ramen, tacos, curry). Basically, this is the main function of this role. However, the role of a school chef goes beyond "just serving food" and that’s it. No. Just like any school faculty, The school chef can monitor the school, especially the cafeteria area. During breakfast and lunch breaks. Enforcing order when people are not following the rules or showing respect toward others. They can patrol the entire school when they are not on duty. That is, after breakfast and a little before the end of Period 3. And during Period 4, because after Period 4, it’s home time. Just like the entire faculty and student council, chefs after school time can go to the detention room to monitor whether all students who were assigned detention have shown up, and to ensure that those who are present are behaving, else they will report the student's behavior to the SLT. Chefs, just like any other school employee, can intercom high school and college students. This can be used, not just to let everyone know that it is lunchtime, but also to help teachers and professors, because a teacher cannot intercom college students and professors cannot intercom high school students. In short, chef is the role of whose primary function is to serve food to students during breakfast and lunch (Mealtime is during scheduled meal hours, not a moment before and not a moment later), and when it’s not mealtime, the chefs can patrol the entire school.
What experience, in general, do you have in roleplay?:
Well, I guess I have a great experience on roleplay, look, I’m playing on this server for four years, or almost four years! Since I started playing on the server in 2022, I think in August, because I remember was summer, but at that time, I didn’t play much, because the hard drive in my desktop computer had stopped working, and I only had my old laptop, and it is a Dell Inspiron 14 2640 with an Intel Core i3 processor and 4GB of RAM. And why am I telling you this? Simple: my laptop couldn't handle running SchoolRP for very long. After just a few minutes, Minecraft crashed. I also recall an issue with my role at this time, for some reason, whenever I logged out and logged back in, I would revert to Grade-7. I was losing my patience with my laptop back then, so I stopped playing and only returned once my desktop computer was fixed. I remember logging in on the last day of November it was autumn on the server. I even recall that, in the past, the game used to display the current season and the temperature. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to show them. The images were on my desktop PC, which started having issues last year, specifically a RAM check failure. Since Windows wasn’t working, I had to reformat the drive and install Linux, but I wasn’t able to save everything. I’m not sure if I had backed them up somewhere else beforehand, or if they might still be saved somewhere. Anyway, back then I was very new to SchoolRP; I didn’t know what was allowed and what wasn’t. Just like any other "greenie." It was little by little that I began to integrate into the server, learning about permissions and how to play SchoolRP. I remember that back when I was a beginner, I would go around looking for a place to live. I didn’t even know there was a State Agent NPC. In the end I managed to get one in the old Block I. Since then, I gradually became integrated into the SRP. I remember that I made many mistakes in the past, but with those errors, I started learning how to play on SchoolRP. A great example of mistake I remember I made was on my first applications for something on SRP. I remember that I used simple answers in each question that had on the application, and I didn’t put any big detail. Was something like “My char borned and lived on that country in the whole childhood in this country and learned that language.” Yes, it was something like this, you can see, the conjugation of the verb "born" was incorrect. Instead of “It was born” I used “borned” and that doesn’t exist. I know my English is not perfect, but it improved a lot! So, my first year on SchoolRP, was me learning how to play on the server, understanding how the things work on the server. My first faction on SchoolRP, was Reporter! And I joined this faction at the beginning of my second year on the server, but I left after 1 month, I guess. And since then, I have kept improving my applications. After in middle of 2024 I joined my first faculty faction, Professor. So here I can tell my experience I have on working a School Faculty Faction. Well, since this was my first time as a faculty member at the SRP, of course I made some errors at beginning.
Like, I didn’t know at the time that, for example, a faculty cannot use /grab, because this is assault, and faculty members couldn’t be assaulted. But that was just the first month at this role on SchoolRP. Afterwards, I continued to enhance my experience in a school faculty role at SRP. I even helped some new Professors when they first started in the position. So, as you can see, I’ve already worked in a school and I have experience with the faculty role and how it works in general, because I was in this role for 2 years, or almost 2 years. In short. I am someone who has been on this server for 4 years; I even spent 2 of those years as a faculty member on this server. And since I already have some experience with how things work at the SRP school, I feel that this is something I’ll be able to handle very well!!
Why do you want to join the School Employee faction?:
Well, the main reason is money, because I’m living in Block S penthouse, I need a lot of money to pay this pent. I was even trying to fish to earn enough money, but I spent an hour just to get 10k... That’s too little. And at the only shop where I work on the server, I don’t really earn that much. I usually start my shift with about 10k to 20k, and that’s assuming I’m even able to participate. So, I’m looking for something that pays well, something I’ll enjoy doing, and something that will allow me to develop new characters like the one I’ll be using for this application. And how I feel that it is much less stressful than the teacher or professor, I can work a lot on this position. The main reason that I’m not a professor anymore was the lack of motivation I was feeling regarding the position There were times when I’d set aside a time I could have spent on something else, to teach a class, but no one would show up, or if someone did, they’d leave almost immediately. This left me feeling more exhausted and less inclined to continue in the role. I ended up being removed from the position because of my lack of motivation, which made my lessons less engaging and repetitive; I also almost never assigned any homework. After all, what reason would I have to do it if no one were to show up? I enjoyed the patrol part much more; it was fun I could walk around the school and check to make sure everything was in order, but that wasn’t the thing you must do to get quota. The reason I stayed on until I was removed was really because of the penthouse; if it weren't for the penthouse, I would have left this position a long time ago or sought out the school staff role sooner. Of course, I know that the position I’m applying for, chef, isn’t just about that of patrolling, but for me, the way of working in this role is much more relaxed compared to the position of teacher or professor. After all, it’s serving food to students, in a shorter amount of time, and it seems a lot more fun, basically like the way you work in a shop. Combining something I’m already familiar with something new to me, that’s perfect! I decided to try it, as it seems like a very interesting thing. So, these are my reasons for wanting to join this role. I swear I can do it, and you won’t regret it, as I already have experience as a faculty member in SchoolRP.

Situations
/*Do not mention use of FearRP*/
During a work-shift a student starts cursing at you for being pathetic, how does your character react?:
Riko would remain calm and firm, saying, "I will not continue this conversation unless I am treated with respect. If you want to criticize me, that’s fine, but not by using insults." Riko would also remain very patient, no matter how much this student complain or insists, just to avoid making the situation worse and involving more people. If it becomes necessary to take drastic measures, such as handing detention to the student, she will. Also! Even so, she would still take the criticism on board, even if it included insults, because if she truly made a mistake, she can prevent it from happening again; while we cannot fix every mistake we have made, we can ensure they do not recur again. A good way to show that we have learned from our mistakes
You notice two students are physically fighting in the hallway, – multiple punches have been thrown – how does your character react?:
She will order the two of them to break this fighting and separate them. She will patiently ask both of them to remain calm, so that the conflict does not escalate and become worse than it already is (To not involve more students in this fight for example); she will then ask them to explain themselves, how it all began and look for details that reveal who engaged in physical fighting. It's unclear whether it was just one of them, or both, because if she only saw one attacking, but not the other, and they could have attacked before she saw it, it would be unfair to the one that retaliated. In other words, the brands she will be looking for will be bruises for example. If the other side claims, by way of justification, that they were in the school gym hitting a punching bag, she will look if there are security cameras, she will ask to anyone who can check the footage from the area where the fight was taking place to see whether this justification is actually true or false. If it's fake, and she has those bruises, she'll hand detention to those who attacked, if true, she's not going to hand just for the one who not attacked. Now, if there’s no one available to check the cameras, she will look for an higher up to help handle the situation.
Another school employee is clearly acting inappropriately, doing something very dangerous on the job, how does your character react?:
Riko will speak with this employee about if they realized what they had just done, and how dangerous or inappropriate their actions were. What if something worse had happened? Depending on the situation, she will either report the employee’s irresponsible conduct to their superiors or simply advise them to be more careful, this would apply if the incident were minor and merely required greater attention, rather than being something serious. We cannot take the same types of measures if the situations differ in their level of seriousness. If an incident is relatively minor, the employee should simply be cautioned to exercise more care, rather than facing severe punishment; however, if the behavior is highly inappropriate, the matter must be escalated to superiors, because a situation that spirals out of control can lead to significant problems.
When in the employee break room, how does your character act?
Just as she was outside, in the break room Riko maintains the same calm and patient demeanor; she is sociable with others, chatting about how their day has been and offering her help should anyone need it. But when there’s no one else around and she’s on her own, she tries to use that time for herself to breathe, relax, or have a bite to eat if she’s hungry while also taking the chance to think about her family, listen to some music, jot down a few notes about her day, send a message to her husband or daughter if she needs help with something when is hometime, like buy something to prepare the dinner, And, most commonly, she looks for new recipes for dishes to prepare, whether for lunch, breakfast, dinner, a party, or any other occasion..
Provide us with at least three detailed /me's of your character whilst on your chosen role:
/me Riko arrives at work and begins tidying up, checking that no pots or pans are out of place or dirty, ensuring everything is organized and ready for the day, which, as it happens, is going to be a very busy one. After completing the verification, she --
She begins preparing breakfast for everyone! That is omelet, first testing whether the eggs are still good, she tests by submerging them in water to see if they float, those that sink are the fresh ones. So, she prepares the frying pan and starts --
making the omelet! Immediately after, she places it on a plate and garnishes it with some seasonings and vegetables, such as chives. This gives the omelet a very appetizing appearance. Immediately afterward, place the plate out to be served to the student who is approaching.
/me Riko begins preparing lunch; she decides to make rice and fish, so she starts gathering the necessary ingredients. First, she sets out to prepare the rice, placing it into a large pot along with some water, salt, and oil, and lets it cook. Something --
very simple. While the rice is cooking, she prepares the next ingredient. As for the fish, she takes a few kg out of the refrigerator and begins seasoning it with lemon, olive oil, salt, black pepper, oregano, two cloves of garlic, and onion. then she --
She begins preparing everything to season the fish, crushing the garlic, chopping the onion, and adding olive oil and lemon, then places it in the oven to bake. Once it’s done, she serves the fish and rice, accompanied by a side of mayo, to the student.
/me Now that lunchtime is over. Riko starts cleaning everything she used. Cleaning the pots, pans, and dishes that were dirty. First, she starts splashing water on the utensils to remove any dirt that can be easily washed away. Then she picks up the --
sponge and begins to lather up the sponge so they can start scrubbing the utensils, removing the kind of grime that water alone cannot wash away such as grease, oil, and so on. leaving the dish nice and clean and shiny!! Then she puts the dish to dry --
Placing the plate in the dish rack. So, she continues doing this for all the other utensils, such as cutlery, pots and pans, and so on. Once she had finished everything, Riko prepared to leave the cafeteria area and patrol the school.
Note: I really used the minecraft chat just to see how long i could write before i use the "--" I decided keep this to know when the limit has been exceeded and a line break was required.

Backstory
Riko’s history with anything related to cooking begins when she was still a child. Her mother always prepared meals using homemade ingredients; for instance, when making spaghetti, she would prepare everything from scratch, from the pasta dough to the sauce. Riko liked to join her mother while she prepared meals whenever it was possible to prepare them. Her mother taught her many recipes, the same ones she used to make for her daughter. Of course, when Riko was little, she only prepared simple things; her mother wouldn't let her handle dangerous items in the kitchen, such as knives or fire. So, what Riko would do was mostly wash ingredients that needed washing (for example, when making spaghetti, she’d wash the tomatoes and basil leaves) or mix ingredients together when they weren’t on the heat (like when preparing cake batter or even pasta dough).
As Riko grew older, she began to take on more tasks in the kitchen, chopping ingredients, stirring what was cooking on the stove, and much more. This led her to develop a love for what her mother did, and she decided she wanted to pursue a career that would allow her to do the same, but for a much larger number of people, because she wanted to share just how special "home-style" cooking could be. So, Riko decides to take a cooking course, not only to help land a job at high-quality restaurants, but also to learn more about the profession, such as food safety, the nature of various ingredients, dietary restrictions, potential risks, and alternatives that allow people with such restrictions to enjoy a meal similar to the original dish. Since Riko had always accompanied her mother in the kitchen, she didn’t face many difficulties during the course and performed very well. On the rare occasions when she did stumble on something particularly complex or challenging, it didn’t stop her from trying again; instead, she would seek to understand her mistake, correct it, and continue to further refine her culinary skills. The greatest challenge for Riko was any dish that involved fugu for a very obvious reason. These dishes use pufferfish. The fish carries one of the most dangerous toxins on the planet, an extremely potent neurotoxin (far stronger than cyanide) that concentrates primarily on its liver and ovaries. It is called tetrodotoxin. In Japan, not just any chef is permitted to serve fugu (pufferfish); it requires years of training and an official government license to prepare and serve this dish.
Riko chose to undergo this training so that she could prepare these dishes. She faced greater difficulties with this part, as not all pufferfish are the same. The toxin can be concentrated primarily on the fish's liver and ovaries, but, depending on the case, it may also accumulate in other parts of the fish. In some pufferfish, this toxin is found in the intestines, the skin, and also in the muscles. If the dish is prepared incorrectly, the fish must be discarded; consuming it would constitute a medical emergency, understood why just chefs with years of training, and an official license could prepare those dishes?
Anyways. After years of studying everything and undergoing various forms of training, Riko graduated. Her mother was incredibly proud of her daughter’s dedication, and Riko continued to pursue everything she loved most, but the story didn’t end here. As for Riko, after a few years, she started a family! And Riko had her first daughter, Reiko. (Riko has three children, two girls and one boy: Reiko, the eldest at 18; Kaito, the middle child at 7; and Hanako, the youngest at 5, but the continuation of the story will focus on Reiko.) Because of Reiko, the second part of Riko’s story begins! The reason why is that she decided also to study culinary art. Of course, it didn’t solve every problem, partly because Reiko also disliked the taste of certain specific foods, but by presenting things in the right way, it got her to eat many items she previously wouldn’t touch, or would only eat in very small, inadequate amounts. For instance, she wouldn’t eat rice and beans, she’d refuse them simply because of how they looked, finding them unappealing, but if they were prepared in a way that made them look more attractive and eye-catching, Reiko would eat them.
It was the same with onions, Reiko wouldn’t eat them, but if they were hidden inside something she liked, she would eat them. Studying culinary arts was a great help to Riko in getting her daughter, Reiko, to eat things she previously disliked, simply because of how they looked. That is why Riko’s culinary arts credential is a minor; Riko wasn’t aiming for fancy, "MasterChef”-level dishes, but rather wanted to make their food look more attractive and eye-catching, especially for certain people, such as children. In fact, because of Reiko, Riko decided to work somewhere where she would always be close to her, specifically, at the school Reiko attended. This way, she could not only keep an eye on her daughter’s meals but also prepare food for other children who, like her daughter, disliked eating certain things simply because of how they looked. Back in Karakura, Reiko told her mother that she misses her cooking, as she always loved the taste of the food her mother prepared. Even though Reiko used to be a difficult eater, she still enjoyed her mother’s cooking, and it’s worth noting that her tendency to reject so many foods was something that only happened when she was a young child. Reiko has since grown up, and she now eats plenty of things that she either wouldn't eat at all or wouldn't eat properly when she was a child. And Reiko misses her mother, as well as the food she used to make. I will go into more detail about this in the section covering what motivated Reiko to apply for an employee at KHS.
Motivation for Joining KHS (Character perspective):
Well, my motivation for joining the school is my eldest daughter, Reiko Nakazaki, who is a student there. She called me the other day and said that she really misses me and the rest of our family as well, as the comfort she used to have with me and the food I would prepare for her. And honestly, I feel the same way. I miss my daughter so much; after all, she was with me until she was 18, when she moved to Karakura to study. I used to cook for her, play with her, comfort her, and help her with everything. Those were such special times, and I long to be with her again to prepare dishes just the way she loves them. Ever since she was little, she struggled with eating because she didn't like how food looked, so I made a real effort to make my dishes more visually appealing for her. It worked, too, before that, Reiko had trouble eating even the most basic things. Even though that was back when she was a child and she’s all grown up now, I still miss spending time with her, catching up on how things are going, and being there to help her through her difficult moments. So, I’ve decided that I want to be with her, just as we’ve always been, to relive those mother-daughter moments and support her on this journey until she graduates. I don’t want to miss out on that; after all, I am her mother. Besides, it’ll be a chance for me to meet new people at the school, make new friends, and help the students there, just as I used to help my Reiko. Anyways… That is the main reason, my daughter. After all, she changed my life; she is my treasure. I want to be close to her, to be a refuge for her whenever she goes through any difficulty. These are moments you experience only once. And while I can be someone who helps comfort my daughter, I can also be someone who helps many others at this school, whether they are other staff members or other students. I will go into more detail in the next section.
Why should you be accepted over the other applicants?:
One word! Patience. Why? Well, I explained it before! My daughter, Reiko. Reiko was very stubborn, not just was, she still stubborn, especially when it came to eating things she didn’t like. She was stubborn to such a degree that, even if I had prepared the most delicious meal imaginable, if something about its appearance didn’t please her, she would immediately refuse to eat it. It was a real battle to convince her to eat, and she would even go on to explain why she didn’t like it, even when her reasons made no sense at all. Since many of those foods were essential for our health and nutrition, I had to figure out a way to make my dishes look more attractive and appealing to her, as Reiko was a very picky eater. But of course, Reiko’s stubbornness wasn’t limited to the matter of eating well, or to eating things she didn’t like. Reiko could be stubborn about practically anything she could possibly be stubborn about. If I told her to put away her toys, she would argue that she was still playing; if I said it was time for bed, she’d claim she wasn’t sleepy; if I mentioned it was time for a bath, she’d insist she wasn’t dirty; and if I asked her to change into different clothes, she’d maintain that the outfit she was already wearing was the one she wanted to have on. And when she was truly convinced of something in her little mind, oh my goodness! We could spend ages talking and debating, with me trying to persuade her to do as I asked, while she defended her position as if it were a high-stakes argument. This was especially true when it came to homework. She absolutely hated doing homework, in fact, I think she still does, arguing that since she’d already studied at school, there was no need to study again at home. But through all of this, I learned to have patience, and, in fact, it was thanks to that patience that I learned to do many things I otherwise wouldn't have, such as culinary arts. Her stubborn refusal to eat something based solely on its appearance forced me to come up with ways to capture her interest and please her; otherwise, she would have run into nutritional problems. Because, as I said, if she looked at that and didn’t like it, she would turn it into a major debate. Anyway, I think I have much more to offer than just being a patient person. I am a very kind and affectionate person, and when you combine that with my patience, it’s a great mix. Even in frustrating or messy situations, I believe I can resolve things calmly, helping the other person stay composed while coming to understand their own mistakes. So, I believe what sets me apart is this: how patient I am. Being patient can be difficult, after all, who wouldn’t want everything resolved quickly and all the chaos to come to an end? But that’s not always how it goes; sometimes a situation drags on for a long time. That is why you need to remain calm and patient. If you get stressed, things tend to get worse, especially if someone is trying to provoke you; if you actually let yourself, get irritated by their provocations, the behavior will only continue. And so, it all turns into a big snowball effect, creating a bigger problem that can become increasingly difficult to resolve. I may not be perfect, but I feel that I could be the person you are looking for. Someone capable of doing a great job, someone there to support those who need help, someone who shows care, and someone with a wealth of life experience to bring to the role. You will be very happy.
Extra:
You might be wondering why I mentioned Reiko Nakazaki so much in this application, given that the application was about me, not her. Well, I have a reason. She has been one of the most significant influences in my life. Although I have two other children, a boy named Kaito and a girl named Hanako. How they came after Reiko. Do you see? The impact Reiko had on me changed my life. Everyone has their own perspective, but to me, two of the most profound life-altering moments are: first, when you become independent from your parents, no longer relying on them for everything, and having to fend for yourself. Your parents once provided for you. Food, healthcare, and so on. I know not everyone is as fortunate, but childhood is generally much easier because you depend on a guardian to support you until you grow up and are ready for that first major transition: surviving on your own. Everything that was once done for you, like securing food, managing your health, earning the money to pay for it now falls entirely on your shoulders. That is why it is such a monumental shift. Then, having your first child is another massive turning point; suddenly, you find yourself doing for someone else exactly what your own guardians once did for you. You have to learn about responsibility, especially depending on your child’s behavior. Reiko was like that, and to be honest, she still is. She is stubborn and prefers to do things her own way, often refusing to admit when she’s wrong. As I mentioned, Reiko was quite a handful, especially when it came to eating, simply because she didn’t like the way the food looked on her plate. Yes, really! She just didn’t like the appearance of the meal. But did she actually hate the food itself? Not always! When she truly hated something and noticed it. If it could be separated out, she would separate it; things like olives, bell peppers, or chayote. Now things like rice and beans she would eat separately, but if they were put together in a messy way, so that they mixed and didn't look appealing, she would feel disgusted. Because of this, I began studying culinary arts to find a way for her to eat these foods, which she only disliked due to their appearance, rather than truly hating the taste. And it worked! By making the presentation more attractive, she became delighted and started eating very well. Thanks to Reiko, I not only continued doing something I enjoyed, but I also refined a craft I already loved. I’ve mentioned my daughter so often because I love her dearly; she is one of the greatest treasures I have ever known. In short, Reiko comes up frequently because she changed my life. She helped me become a much more responsible, careful, affectionate, and patient person. And I must emphasize "patient", because Reiko’s level of stubbornness is remarkably high! Anyway, that’s all I have to say about that!

Do you acknowledge that if you are inactive you will be demoted?:
Yes
School Employee Role you are applying for?:
Chef
In as much detail as possible, describe the employee role you are applying for:
Well, in my understanding of the profession itself, both in real life and in SchoolRP, chef is the school role that you are designed to serve food to the students. On the server, the times when food is served are during breakfast (The options are something a bit lighter, you know? Just enough to provide the energy needed to start the day. Currently, things like omelets and fruit are usually served) and at lunchtime (Lunch here is more substantial, with a good deal of variety. This makes sense, of course, since we’re more active at that time of day and are burning through much of that energy. Some varieties I have already seen Miso soup, ramen, tacos, curry). Basically, this is the main function of this role. However, the role of a school chef goes beyond "just serving food" and that’s it. No. Just like any school faculty, The school chef can monitor the school, especially the cafeteria area. During breakfast and lunch breaks. Enforcing order when people are not following the rules or showing respect toward others. They can patrol the entire school when they are not on duty. That is, after breakfast and a little before the end of Period 3. And during Period 4, because after Period 4, it’s home time. Just like the entire faculty and student council, chefs after school time can go to the detention room to monitor whether all students who were assigned detention have shown up, and to ensure that those who are present are behaving, else they will report the student's behavior to the SLT. Chefs, just like any other school employee, can intercom high school and college students. This can be used, not just to let everyone know that it is lunchtime, but also to help teachers and professors, because a teacher cannot intercom college students and professors cannot intercom high school students. In short, chef is the role of whose primary function is to serve food to students during breakfast and lunch (Mealtime is during scheduled meal hours, not a moment before and not a moment later), and when it’s not mealtime, the chefs can patrol the entire school.
What experience, in general, do you have in roleplay?:
Well, I guess I have a great experience on roleplay, look, I’m playing on this server for four years, or almost four years! Since I started playing on the server in 2022, I think in August, because I remember was summer, but at that time, I didn’t play much, because the hard drive in my desktop computer had stopped working, and I only had my old laptop, and it is a Dell Inspiron 14 2640 with an Intel Core i3 processor and 4GB of RAM. And why am I telling you this? Simple: my laptop couldn't handle running SchoolRP for very long. After just a few minutes, Minecraft crashed. I also recall an issue with my role at this time, for some reason, whenever I logged out and logged back in, I would revert to Grade-7. I was losing my patience with my laptop back then, so I stopped playing and only returned once my desktop computer was fixed. I remember logging in on the last day of November it was autumn on the server. I even recall that, in the past, the game used to display the current season and the temperature. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to show them. The images were on my desktop PC, which started having issues last year, specifically a RAM check failure. Since Windows wasn’t working, I had to reformat the drive and install Linux, but I wasn’t able to save everything. I’m not sure if I had backed them up somewhere else beforehand, or if they might still be saved somewhere. Anyway, back then I was very new to SchoolRP; I didn’t know what was allowed and what wasn’t. Just like any other "greenie." It was little by little that I began to integrate into the server, learning about permissions and how to play SchoolRP. I remember that back when I was a beginner, I would go around looking for a place to live. I didn’t even know there was a State Agent NPC. In the end I managed to get one in the old Block I. Since then, I gradually became integrated into the SRP. I remember that I made many mistakes in the past, but with those errors, I started learning how to play on SchoolRP. A great example of mistake I remember I made was on my first applications for something on SRP. I remember that I used simple answers in each question that had on the application, and I didn’t put any big detail. Was something like “My char borned and lived on that country in the whole childhood in this country and learned that language.” Yes, it was something like this, you can see, the conjugation of the verb "born" was incorrect. Instead of “It was born” I used “borned” and that doesn’t exist. I know my English is not perfect, but it improved a lot! So, my first year on SchoolRP, was me learning how to play on the server, understanding how the things work on the server. My first faction on SchoolRP, was Reporter! And I joined this faction at the beginning of my second year on the server, but I left after 1 month, I guess. And since then, I have kept improving my applications. After in middle of 2024 I joined my first faculty faction, Professor. So here I can tell my experience I have on working a School Faculty Faction. Well, since this was my first time as a faculty member at the SRP, of course I made some errors at beginning.
Like, I didn’t know at the time that, for example, a faculty cannot use /grab, because this is assault, and faculty members couldn’t be assaulted. But that was just the first month at this role on SchoolRP. Afterwards, I continued to enhance my experience in a school faculty role at SRP. I even helped some new Professors when they first started in the position. So, as you can see, I’ve already worked in a school and I have experience with the faculty role and how it works in general, because I was in this role for 2 years, or almost 2 years. In short. I am someone who has been on this server for 4 years; I even spent 2 of those years as a faculty member on this server. And since I already have some experience with how things work at the SRP school, I feel that this is something I’ll be able to handle very well!!
Why do you want to join the School Employee faction?:
Well, the main reason is money, because I’m living in Block S penthouse, I need a lot of money to pay this pent. I was even trying to fish to earn enough money, but I spent an hour just to get 10k... That’s too little. And at the only shop where I work on the server, I don’t really earn that much. I usually start my shift with about 10k to 20k, and that’s assuming I’m even able to participate. So, I’m looking for something that pays well, something I’ll enjoy doing, and something that will allow me to develop new characters like the one I’ll be using for this application. And how I feel that it is much less stressful than the teacher or professor, I can work a lot on this position. The main reason that I’m not a professor anymore was the lack of motivation I was feeling regarding the position There were times when I’d set aside a time I could have spent on something else, to teach a class, but no one would show up, or if someone did, they’d leave almost immediately. This left me feeling more exhausted and less inclined to continue in the role. I ended up being removed from the position because of my lack of motivation, which made my lessons less engaging and repetitive; I also almost never assigned any homework. After all, what reason would I have to do it if no one were to show up? I enjoyed the patrol part much more; it was fun I could walk around the school and check to make sure everything was in order, but that wasn’t the thing you must do to get quota. The reason I stayed on until I was removed was really because of the penthouse; if it weren't for the penthouse, I would have left this position a long time ago or sought out the school staff role sooner. Of course, I know that the position I’m applying for, chef, isn’t just about that of patrolling, but for me, the way of working in this role is much more relaxed compared to the position of teacher or professor. After all, it’s serving food to students, in a shorter amount of time, and it seems a lot more fun, basically like the way you work in a shop. Combining something I’m already familiar with something new to me, that’s perfect! I decided to try it, as it seems like a very interesting thing. So, these are my reasons for wanting to join this role. I swear I can do it, and you won’t regret it, as I already have experience as a faculty member in SchoolRP.

Situations
/*Do not mention use of FearRP*/
During a work-shift a student starts cursing at you for being pathetic, how does your character react?:
Riko would remain calm and firm, saying, "I will not continue this conversation unless I am treated with respect. If you want to criticize me, that’s fine, but not by using insults." Riko would also remain very patient, no matter how much this student complain or insists, just to avoid making the situation worse and involving more people. If it becomes necessary to take drastic measures, such as handing detention to the student, she will. Also! Even so, she would still take the criticism on board, even if it included insults, because if she truly made a mistake, she can prevent it from happening again; while we cannot fix every mistake we have made, we can ensure they do not recur again. A good way to show that we have learned from our mistakes
You notice two students are physically fighting in the hallway, – multiple punches have been thrown – how does your character react?:
She will order the two of them to break this fighting and separate them. She will patiently ask both of them to remain calm, so that the conflict does not escalate and become worse than it already is (To not involve more students in this fight for example); she will then ask them to explain themselves, how it all began and look for details that reveal who engaged in physical fighting. It's unclear whether it was just one of them, or both, because if she only saw one attacking, but not the other, and they could have attacked before she saw it, it would be unfair to the one that retaliated. In other words, the brands she will be looking for will be bruises for example. If the other side claims, by way of justification, that they were in the school gym hitting a punching bag, she will look if there are security cameras, she will ask to anyone who can check the footage from the area where the fight was taking place to see whether this justification is actually true or false. If it's fake, and she has those bruises, she'll hand detention to those who attacked, if true, she's not going to hand just for the one who not attacked. Now, if there’s no one available to check the cameras, she will look for an higher up to help handle the situation.
Another school employee is clearly acting inappropriately, doing something very dangerous on the job, how does your character react?:
Riko will speak with this employee about if they realized what they had just done, and how dangerous or inappropriate their actions were. What if something worse had happened? Depending on the situation, she will either report the employee’s irresponsible conduct to their superiors or simply advise them to be more careful, this would apply if the incident were minor and merely required greater attention, rather than being something serious. We cannot take the same types of measures if the situations differ in their level of seriousness. If an incident is relatively minor, the employee should simply be cautioned to exercise more care, rather than facing severe punishment; however, if the behavior is highly inappropriate, the matter must be escalated to superiors, because a situation that spirals out of control can lead to significant problems.
When in the employee break room, how does your character act?
Just as she was outside, in the break room Riko maintains the same calm and patient demeanor; she is sociable with others, chatting about how their day has been and offering her help should anyone need it. But when there’s no one else around and she’s on her own, she tries to use that time for herself to breathe, relax, or have a bite to eat if she’s hungry while also taking the chance to think about her family, listen to some music, jot down a few notes about her day, send a message to her husband or daughter if she needs help with something when is hometime, like buy something to prepare the dinner, And, most commonly, she looks for new recipes for dishes to prepare, whether for lunch, breakfast, dinner, a party, or any other occasion..
Provide us with at least three detailed /me's of your character whilst on your chosen role:
/me Riko arrives at work and begins tidying up, checking that no pots or pans are out of place or dirty, ensuring everything is organized and ready for the day, which, as it happens, is going to be a very busy one. After completing the verification, she --
She begins preparing breakfast for everyone! That is omelet, first testing whether the eggs are still good, she tests by submerging them in water to see if they float, those that sink are the fresh ones. So, she prepares the frying pan and starts --
making the omelet! Immediately after, she places it on a plate and garnishes it with some seasonings and vegetables, such as chives. This gives the omelet a very appetizing appearance. Immediately afterward, place the plate out to be served to the student who is approaching.
/me Riko begins preparing lunch; she decides to make rice and fish, so she starts gathering the necessary ingredients. First, she sets out to prepare the rice, placing it into a large pot along with some water, salt, and oil, and lets it cook. Something --
very simple. While the rice is cooking, she prepares the next ingredient. As for the fish, she takes a few kg out of the refrigerator and begins seasoning it with lemon, olive oil, salt, black pepper, oregano, two cloves of garlic, and onion. then she --
She begins preparing everything to season the fish, crushing the garlic, chopping the onion, and adding olive oil and lemon, then places it in the oven to bake. Once it’s done, she serves the fish and rice, accompanied by a side of mayo, to the student.
/me Now that lunchtime is over. Riko starts cleaning everything she used. Cleaning the pots, pans, and dishes that were dirty. First, she starts splashing water on the utensils to remove any dirt that can be easily washed away. Then she picks up the --
sponge and begins to lather up the sponge so they can start scrubbing the utensils, removing the kind of grime that water alone cannot wash away such as grease, oil, and so on. leaving the dish nice and clean and shiny!! Then she puts the dish to dry --
Placing the plate in the dish rack. So, she continues doing this for all the other utensils, such as cutlery, pots and pans, and so on. Once she had finished everything, Riko prepared to leave the cafeteria area and patrol the school.
Note: I really used the minecraft chat just to see how long i could write before i use the "--" I decided keep this to know when the limit has been exceeded and a line break was required.

Backstory
Riko’s history with anything related to cooking begins when she was still a child. Her mother always prepared meals using homemade ingredients; for instance, when making spaghetti, she would prepare everything from scratch, from the pasta dough to the sauce. Riko liked to join her mother while she prepared meals whenever it was possible to prepare them. Her mother taught her many recipes, the same ones she used to make for her daughter. Of course, when Riko was little, she only prepared simple things; her mother wouldn't let her handle dangerous items in the kitchen, such as knives or fire. So, what Riko would do was mostly wash ingredients that needed washing (for example, when making spaghetti, she’d wash the tomatoes and basil leaves) or mix ingredients together when they weren’t on the heat (like when preparing cake batter or even pasta dough).
As Riko grew older, she began to take on more tasks in the kitchen, chopping ingredients, stirring what was cooking on the stove, and much more. This led her to develop a love for what her mother did, and she decided she wanted to pursue a career that would allow her to do the same, but for a much larger number of people, because she wanted to share just how special "home-style" cooking could be. So, Riko decides to take a cooking course, not only to help land a job at high-quality restaurants, but also to learn more about the profession, such as food safety, the nature of various ingredients, dietary restrictions, potential risks, and alternatives that allow people with such restrictions to enjoy a meal similar to the original dish. Since Riko had always accompanied her mother in the kitchen, she didn’t face many difficulties during the course and performed very well. On the rare occasions when she did stumble on something particularly complex or challenging, it didn’t stop her from trying again; instead, she would seek to understand her mistake, correct it, and continue to further refine her culinary skills. The greatest challenge for Riko was any dish that involved fugu for a very obvious reason. These dishes use pufferfish. The fish carries one of the most dangerous toxins on the planet, an extremely potent neurotoxin (far stronger than cyanide) that concentrates primarily on its liver and ovaries. It is called tetrodotoxin. In Japan, not just any chef is permitted to serve fugu (pufferfish); it requires years of training and an official government license to prepare and serve this dish.
Riko chose to undergo this training so that she could prepare these dishes. She faced greater difficulties with this part, as not all pufferfish are the same. The toxin can be concentrated primarily on the fish's liver and ovaries, but, depending on the case, it may also accumulate in other parts of the fish. In some pufferfish, this toxin is found in the intestines, the skin, and also in the muscles. If the dish is prepared incorrectly, the fish must be discarded; consuming it would constitute a medical emergency, understood why just chefs with years of training, and an official license could prepare those dishes?
Anyways. After years of studying everything and undergoing various forms of training, Riko graduated. Her mother was incredibly proud of her daughter’s dedication, and Riko continued to pursue everything she loved most, but the story didn’t end here. As for Riko, after a few years, she started a family! And Riko had her first daughter, Reiko. (Riko has three children, two girls and one boy: Reiko, the eldest at 18; Kaito, the middle child at 7; and Hanako, the youngest at 5, but the continuation of the story will focus on Reiko.) Because of Reiko, the second part of Riko’s story begins! The reason why is that she decided also to study culinary art. Of course, it didn’t solve every problem, partly because Reiko also disliked the taste of certain specific foods, but by presenting things in the right way, it got her to eat many items she previously wouldn’t touch, or would only eat in very small, inadequate amounts. For instance, she wouldn’t eat rice and beans, she’d refuse them simply because of how they looked, finding them unappealing, but if they were prepared in a way that made them look more attractive and eye-catching, Reiko would eat them.
It was the same with onions, Reiko wouldn’t eat them, but if they were hidden inside something she liked, she would eat them. Studying culinary arts was a great help to Riko in getting her daughter, Reiko, to eat things she previously disliked, simply because of how they looked. That is why Riko’s culinary arts credential is a minor; Riko wasn’t aiming for fancy, "MasterChef”-level dishes, but rather wanted to make their food look more attractive and eye-catching, especially for certain people, such as children. In fact, because of Reiko, Riko decided to work somewhere where she would always be close to her, specifically, at the school Reiko attended. This way, she could not only keep an eye on her daughter’s meals but also prepare food for other children who, like her daughter, disliked eating certain things simply because of how they looked. Back in Karakura, Reiko told her mother that she misses her cooking, as she always loved the taste of the food her mother prepared. Even though Reiko used to be a difficult eater, she still enjoyed her mother’s cooking, and it’s worth noting that her tendency to reject so many foods was something that only happened when she was a young child. Reiko has since grown up, and she now eats plenty of things that she either wouldn't eat at all or wouldn't eat properly when she was a child. And Reiko misses her mother, as well as the food she used to make. I will go into more detail about this in the section covering what motivated Reiko to apply for an employee at KHS.
Motivation for Joining KHS (Character perspective):
Well, my motivation for joining the school is my eldest daughter, Reiko Nakazaki, who is a student there. She called me the other day and said that she really misses me and the rest of our family as well, as the comfort she used to have with me and the food I would prepare for her. And honestly, I feel the same way. I miss my daughter so much; after all, she was with me until she was 18, when she moved to Karakura to study. I used to cook for her, play with her, comfort her, and help her with everything. Those were such special times, and I long to be with her again to prepare dishes just the way she loves them. Ever since she was little, she struggled with eating because she didn't like how food looked, so I made a real effort to make my dishes more visually appealing for her. It worked, too, before that, Reiko had trouble eating even the most basic things. Even though that was back when she was a child and she’s all grown up now, I still miss spending time with her, catching up on how things are going, and being there to help her through her difficult moments. So, I’ve decided that I want to be with her, just as we’ve always been, to relive those mother-daughter moments and support her on this journey until she graduates. I don’t want to miss out on that; after all, I am her mother. Besides, it’ll be a chance for me to meet new people at the school, make new friends, and help the students there, just as I used to help my Reiko. Anyways… That is the main reason, my daughter. After all, she changed my life; she is my treasure. I want to be close to her, to be a refuge for her whenever she goes through any difficulty. These are moments you experience only once. And while I can be someone who helps comfort my daughter, I can also be someone who helps many others at this school, whether they are other staff members or other students. I will go into more detail in the next section.
Why should you be accepted over the other applicants?:
One word! Patience. Why? Well, I explained it before! My daughter, Reiko. Reiko was very stubborn, not just was, she still stubborn, especially when it came to eating things she didn’t like. She was stubborn to such a degree that, even if I had prepared the most delicious meal imaginable, if something about its appearance didn’t please her, she would immediately refuse to eat it. It was a real battle to convince her to eat, and she would even go on to explain why she didn’t like it, even when her reasons made no sense at all. Since many of those foods were essential for our health and nutrition, I had to figure out a way to make my dishes look more attractive and appealing to her, as Reiko was a very picky eater. But of course, Reiko’s stubbornness wasn’t limited to the matter of eating well, or to eating things she didn’t like. Reiko could be stubborn about practically anything she could possibly be stubborn about. If I told her to put away her toys, she would argue that she was still playing; if I said it was time for bed, she’d claim she wasn’t sleepy; if I mentioned it was time for a bath, she’d insist she wasn’t dirty; and if I asked her to change into different clothes, she’d maintain that the outfit she was already wearing was the one she wanted to have on. And when she was truly convinced of something in her little mind, oh my goodness! We could spend ages talking and debating, with me trying to persuade her to do as I asked, while she defended her position as if it were a high-stakes argument. This was especially true when it came to homework. She absolutely hated doing homework, in fact, I think she still does, arguing that since she’d already studied at school, there was no need to study again at home. But through all of this, I learned to have patience, and, in fact, it was thanks to that patience that I learned to do many things I otherwise wouldn't have, such as culinary arts. Her stubborn refusal to eat something based solely on its appearance forced me to come up with ways to capture her interest and please her; otherwise, she would have run into nutritional problems. Because, as I said, if she looked at that and didn’t like it, she would turn it into a major debate. Anyway, I think I have much more to offer than just being a patient person. I am a very kind and affectionate person, and when you combine that with my patience, it’s a great mix. Even in frustrating or messy situations, I believe I can resolve things calmly, helping the other person stay composed while coming to understand their own mistakes. So, I believe what sets me apart is this: how patient I am. Being patient can be difficult, after all, who wouldn’t want everything resolved quickly and all the chaos to come to an end? But that’s not always how it goes; sometimes a situation drags on for a long time. That is why you need to remain calm and patient. If you get stressed, things tend to get worse, especially if someone is trying to provoke you; if you actually let yourself, get irritated by their provocations, the behavior will only continue. And so, it all turns into a big snowball effect, creating a bigger problem that can become increasingly difficult to resolve. I may not be perfect, but I feel that I could be the person you are looking for. Someone capable of doing a great job, someone there to support those who need help, someone who shows care, and someone with a wealth of life experience to bring to the role. You will be very happy.
Extra:
You might be wondering why I mentioned Reiko Nakazaki so much in this application, given that the application was about me, not her. Well, I have a reason. She has been one of the most significant influences in my life. Although I have two other children, a boy named Kaito and a girl named Hanako. How they came after Reiko. Do you see? The impact Reiko had on me changed my life. Everyone has their own perspective, but to me, two of the most profound life-altering moments are: first, when you become independent from your parents, no longer relying on them for everything, and having to fend for yourself. Your parents once provided for you. Food, healthcare, and so on. I know not everyone is as fortunate, but childhood is generally much easier because you depend on a guardian to support you until you grow up and are ready for that first major transition: surviving on your own. Everything that was once done for you, like securing food, managing your health, earning the money to pay for it now falls entirely on your shoulders. That is why it is such a monumental shift. Then, having your first child is another massive turning point; suddenly, you find yourself doing for someone else exactly what your own guardians once did for you. You have to learn about responsibility, especially depending on your child’s behavior. Reiko was like that, and to be honest, she still is. She is stubborn and prefers to do things her own way, often refusing to admit when she’s wrong. As I mentioned, Reiko was quite a handful, especially when it came to eating, simply because she didn’t like the way the food looked on her plate. Yes, really! She just didn’t like the appearance of the meal. But did she actually hate the food itself? Not always! When she truly hated something and noticed it. If it could be separated out, she would separate it; things like olives, bell peppers, or chayote. Now things like rice and beans she would eat separately, but if they were put together in a messy way, so that they mixed and didn't look appealing, she would feel disgusted. Because of this, I began studying culinary arts to find a way for her to eat these foods, which she only disliked due to their appearance, rather than truly hating the taste. And it worked! By making the presentation more attractive, she became delighted and started eating very well. Thanks to Reiko, I not only continued doing something I enjoyed, but I also refined a craft I already loved. I’ve mentioned my daughter so often because I love her dearly; she is one of the greatest treasures I have ever known. In short, Reiko comes up frequently because she changed my life. She helped me become a much more responsible, careful, affectionate, and patient person. And I must emphasize "patient", because Reiko’s level of stubbornness is remarkably high! Anyway, that’s all I have to say about that!
