			==== Roleplay as a Command member ====
			The big one here is to understand that you are not just a normal part of your department (with a fancy hat). You are the BOSS. Wearing the big boy pants.

			You should try to '''''actualy''''' be in charge. You have authortiy over your underlings.

			You have to enfocre the [[Standard Operating Procedure]] on your underlings, and should idealy be active about it. That part isnt realy up to negotiation.

			Byond that, its up to you what kind of boss you want to be.

			Maybe you want to take a slightly hands off approach after all, take suggestions and find a consensus on what to do.

			Or maybe you want to take a "my way or the highway" approach, deciding what will be going down in your department and demoting anyone who would dare disobey a lawfull order.

			One last thing - as a head of staff, you are allowed to act a security within your own department. Not outside it. Worth having a read of the security recomendations anyways, though.

	Improv is a style of roleplay/comedy that works extremely well in SS13's environment. Many players 'gimmicks' are an instinctive attempt at improv, and when a player's gimmick doesn't go anywhere it's often because other players are breaking the basic rules of improv without even knowing it. Since improvisation is a form of comedy, this section is very important knowledge for Clowns. Any player roleplay will be improved by keeping these in mind though, not just that of a clown. I guarantee you, you will start to enjoy the game more if you apply at least some of these rules, they will make people start to notice you more, and they are a great cure for the "must win" syndrome.

			==== Roleplay as a member of Security ====
			So, you want be a security officer or other member of the department, but you dont want be an egotistical megalomaniac.

			It is, infact, possible to play sec without ruining evryones fun and to engage in roleplay.

			The main thing to realize here is that you are not supposed to be James Bond taking down all the bad guys. You are just a regulare corporate mall cop.

			You are combat trained, and have the training and perhaps experience not to piss your pants at the first sign of trouble. (Or do you? Might be interesting!)

			But still you are just a regular person. Its absolutely thinkable that you might make a selfish choice at some point, show some empathy or maybe even take a bribe.

			If a murder mystery is presented, why not go find some clues or interview potential witnesses?

			If its meant to be, of course you can stand an fight. Sometimes cops have to be in a shootout, such is the life of a cop.

			But once you do catch the guy whodunit, why not take him to the interogation room and establish motive before locking him up?

			Lastly for this section, lets speak OOCly for a bit. Just as an antags goal isnt to win, securitys goal isnt to win either. If you dab on all the traitors and turn the round into a glorified greenshift it'll suck for most evryone.

			Consider applying some improv to situations and if an antag comes up with a non-murdery gimick, indulge them.

			A somewhat advanced possibility for making your silicon feel less human is to try and emulate mental illness in a sense.
