You are the Head of Personnel. You are the one on the left. The one on the right is a dog. You are not a dog.


'''Bare minimum requirements:'''
* You should have an understanding of what is expected of each job on the station, and explain those jobs to people requesting job transfers as necessary.
* Stay at your desk for the first 10 minutes and handle access change requests at the start of each shift.
* Appoint a head to every department which lacks one
* You will need to assume command of the station as acting Captain if the existing one is killed or none was appointed to the station.
* Consult heads of departments '''before''' transferring someone into their department or giving someone extended access to the department.
* Directly oversee the service and civilian jobs on the station, while communicating with the [[Quartermaster]] in regards to [[Cargo]]


You are the Head of Personnel. You are the one on the left. The one on the right is a dog. You are not a dog. Your main responsibility is to sit in your [[Head of Personnel's Office|office]] and listen to people request access to X area or ask for Y job. You are also in charge of making sure the [[Quartermaster]] is managing the supply sector well and that each civil department is working. Should the worst come to pass, as well, you will need to assume command of the station as acting Captain. High in access and low in responsibility, they are often seen running around other people's departments, evading security and angry crewmembers alike, their motivations only known to themselves.


'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Stay at your desk for the first 10 minutes, and don't wander off far.

[[File:HopOffice.png|250px|thumb|alt=HoP Office|[[Head of Personnel's Office|Your office.]] You sit in it.]]
Being essentially the right-hand man of the [[Captain]] does have its perks. For starters, you spawn in your cozy little office that should keep you sheltered from the [[Assistant|deranged]] [[Clown|lunatics]] outside. It's almost entirely constructed out of reinforced walls and comes with two layers of shutters to close people out of entering the HoP line (or from leaving it). The only people with access to your office are you and the [[Captain]] ([[Traitor|usually]]), so you should be pretty safe if [[Nuclear Operative|things get messy]].


== Responsibilites ==
Within your office, you have a plethora of goodies in your locker for the taking, including an [[Armor Vest]] for some basic protection, and a couple other things like a door remote for controlling Civilian Access doors, a stylish-looking Head of Personnel themed Cloak and spare uniforms for when you need to disguise as yourself.
[[File:HopOffice.png|300px|thumb|alt=HoP Office|[[Head of Personnel's Office|Your office.]] You sit in it.]]
=== ID Changes ===
Your primary purpose is to sit at your desk and process people's requests for access. People often wish to change jobs, or require additional access in order to do their job more effectively (or further their dirty Syndicate goals). It's also your responsibility to wipe access from the IDs of troublemakers at the request of other heads.


People will come to you with requests ranging from outlandish to mundane, so use your brain (or just hand out access like candy at a parade and get arrested).


If you want to maintain a good relationship with the other heads, ask them over the command channel for any objections before assigning someone to their department. Note that you may be held accountable if you give out access to a department without authorization from its head. Use common sense: [[maintenance]] access isn't a big deal, access to [[Toxins Lab|toxins]] is.
'''[[Guide to Head of Staff Equipment#Head of Personnel|Have a look at all your unique equipment here.]]'''


==== Your ID ====
It may be wise to make yourself a captain-level ID. A quick way to do this is to set your job to "Captain" then click "Custom" for job title and enter "Head of Personnel".


Bear in mind that access is not equivalent to permission, and security may arrest you and throw you in the brig or the [[captain|comdom]] may demote you if you're seen waltzing into high security areas you're not supposed to be in. Talk to the head of the department you're visiting, and ask before taking anything valuable.


=== Job Slots ===
Your ID console has the ability to open and close slots for most jobs. This is useful for <s>opening infinite clown positions oh god</s> situations where no more positions remain available (for large crews), where an extra [[janitor]] or [[engineer]] or whatever might be useful, or where a crewmember is incapacitated, incompetent, dead, traitorous, demoted or a chucklefuck.


=== Departmental Management ===
Technically you're supposed to be in charge of the civilian and supply departments. Nobody in these departments is going to listen to whatever stupid orders you give, but feel free to befriend the quartermaster by opening secure crates for them, smoke weed with the botanists, or take a relaxing break on the mining asteroid.


=== Backup Captain ===
If the real Captain is dead, missing or never arrives, it's your job to step up and take their place. When you spawn at the start of the round, the first thing you should do is check whether there's a Captain. If there isn't, make sure that after giving yourself access you run to the [[Captain's Quarters]] to secure the nuke disk and the captain's spare ID. You do not want to be "that guy" when the station explodes as the nuke ops find the disk sitting exactly where it spawned.


=== Crew Relations ===
==[[File:Clipboard paper.png]] Responsibilities ==
Due to your low workload compared to other heads, it's a good idea to always pay attention to general radio. People will often try to use this to summon you to your office when they need an ID upgrade. Aside from that it never hurts to have an awareness of what's going on around the station. Chat with the crew so they know you're not the stereotypical helmeted all-access mute that has come to epitomize the position.

===[[File:Identification console.png|32px]] ID Changes ===
Your primary purpose is to sit at your desk and process people's requests for access. People often wish to change jobs or require additional access in order to do their job more effectively (or further their dirty Syndicate goals). It's also your responsibility to wipe access from the IDs of troublemakers at the request of other heads.
 
There are two ways to alter access. On the bottom of the ID console screen, after logging in, there is a list of accesses you can click to grant to or remove from an ID. These are usually access to specific areas of the station, but they may also affect one's ability to use certain ID-locked machines. You can also assign someone directly to a job by clicking "Show" under Assignment; this will bring up a list of potential jobs you can click to assign an ID to as well as a "Custom" option, which is useful for HoPs who want to give crew members special titles, or traitors who want their all-access ID to read "Assistant."
 
People will come to you with requests ranging from outlandish to mundane, so use your brain and ask a Head over the command channel for any objections before assigning someone to their department. Note that you will be held accountable if you give out access to a department without authorization from its head. Use common sense: [[maintenance]] access isn't a big deal, access to [[Toxins Lab|toxins]] is.
 


=== Security ===
'''If you repeatedly ignore other heads of staff, adding people to departments randomly or handing out all access like candy, you can and likely will be contacted by an admin. Repeatedly handing out access to others in a way that causes problems for the station will result in you losing the ability to play as the Head of Personnel, so be mindful of what you do with that access computer. Refer to the''' [[Standard Operating Procedure|Standard Operating Procedures]] which every Head is required to follow.
If security is low on officers, or when shit really hits the fan you can help make up the numbers. You have access to security lockers and security records, so make sure you grab a security HUD, security encryption key, and carry plenty of handcuffs (lasering someone to death because you didn't have the foresight to bring enough restraints is incredibly shit). Remember that your high level of access is a double-edged sword: if you get yourself trapped or killed somewhere that security officers can't access, they won't be able to rescue you, so be careful.
===[[File:Hoppda.png|32px]] Job Slots ===
Your ID console and PDA have the ability to open and close slots for the majority of jobs. This is useful for <s>opening infinite clown positions oh god</s> situations where no more positions remain available and helps greatly to stem the sudden influx of 20+ assistants clamoring for access. This is also a good tool to use when somebody who has taken a valuable job is either [[dead]], [[Assistant|demoted]], [[Traitor|traitorous]] or an all-around [[Mime|useless]] [[Clown|chucklefuck]].


(Also, everyone will hate you for playing HoPcurity.)
You can also mark jobs as high priority if you feel the situation on the station calls for extra security/engineers/whatever. This is shown to players in the lobby. No more than five jobs can be prioritized at once.


Even if you're not playing officer, you have a lot of power to respond to an emergency. Order the AI to bolt EVA open, order relevant supplies from cargo, and hand out extra access to security and engineers.
If you're feeling creative, make up your own jobs with custom titles and access levels. There's a world of fun [[Assistant#gimmicks|gimmicks]] you can play around with.
===[[File:Gavel.png|32px]] Departmental Management ===
You're in charge of the civilian and supply departments. See to it that Cargo isn't ordering ordering things they shouldn't be or smashing into crates and ensure the botanist isn't simply growing drugs instead of supplying the chef with much needed food.
===[[File:Id gold.png|32px]] Acting Captain ===
If the real Captain is KIA, MIA, or simply never arrives, the Chain of Command dictates that it is your job to <s>start a massive civil war against Security with your buddies in Cargo </s> step up and assume the position until they return. If this is the case at the start of the round, it is typically wise to make your first order of business to secure the important items inside the [[Captain's Quarters]]: the Captain's Spare ID located in the Bridge, the Nuclear Authentication Disk, and the corresponding Pinpointer. Picking up the Hand Teleporter never hurt anybody as well, considering it makes for a powerful escape tool in emergency situations. Do not forget that you will, in fact, need to up your access (preferably to Captain levels) to do so. The Pinpointer is often best left in the hands of the Head of Security or the Warden so that they can find your battered corpse or the perpetrator of your murder -- or track you down if you give them a reason.


=== Ian ===
Just so we're clear. Ian is ''your'' little buddy. Protect him from the [[traitor|various]] [[assistant|dangerous]] [[clown|criminals]], and make sure he escapes on the shuttle alive. This is your most important job of all.


== Taking a Stroll as John Doe ==
'''Don't take too long to secure the Captain's items''', or else the Head of Security or some Assistant will take the mandate of Acting Captain upon themselves. Either way, it's a fight you'll have a hard time winning.
When [[Revolution]] abounds, you will be one of the more well armed and threatening heads. A tendency for disappearing acts makes the Head of Personnel usually the hardest head to kill.
===[[File:Headheadset.png|32px]] Crew Relations ===
Due to your low workload compared to other heads, it's a good idea to always pay attention to general radio. People will often try to use this to summon you to your office when they need an ID upgrade. Aside from that it never hurts to have an awareness of what's going on around the station.

You can use the pet carrier all Heads of Staff get in their locker to transport him. This is your most important job of all.


You first move should be to [[Guide_to_construction#Computers_2|deconstruct]] your ID console and [[Guide_to_construction#Computers|reassemble]] it somewhere more secure (probably [[Security_Office|security]]). Leave an ID computer ID in it so security officers, heads and the implanted can give themselves all-access.
==[[File:Light Bulb.png|32px]]Tips==
* Different permissions on an ID let you edit different types of access:<br>
ID Console - Can edit any access, including command, and lets you change assignments/jobs.<br>
HoS Office - Can edit any security access.<br>
CMO Office - Can edit any medbay access.<br>
RD Office - Can edit any research access.<br>
CE Office - Can edit any engineering access.<br>
HoP Office - Can edit any general and supply access. <br>
* As a fail-safe, you can remove your own ID console access after granting it to a special blank card. This should slow people down who attempt to use your stolen ID to hand out all-access.
* Asking for [[Paper Markdown|paperwork]] will defeat most all access asking shitters. It will also teach them the joys of asking the department's head of staff instead of you for menial access additions.


If shit hits the fan and you need to hide, pick a job where it's natural to be wearing a mask that hides your face. [[Scientist]], [[engineer]], [[mime]] and [[clown]] are all good examples. Make yourself a Captain ID with that job title and a false name. Travel to where the equipment lockers for that job are kept, and get dressed. Put your old clothes and equipment in your old backpack and put it into the locker, locking it after you're finished. If you leave your Head of Personnel's jumpsuit lying beside an open Engineer locker, anyone who sees it will figure out what you're disguised as. If you want to be an even more stealthy HoP, head to genetics and turn a monkey into a human. Proceed to stab yourself with the UI+UE of said monkey. Then just go and use your ID console to get an all access ID with your new name on it.
* You can heal Ian by applying bruise packs to him.


<s>If you're the last remaining head, in the interest of fair play, you should try to escape the z-level instead of extending the round for your own benefit at the expense of all the dead people stuck sitting out. This will cause the revolutionaries to win, but you will survive. Self-preservation is a valid reason for ending the round.</s>
* Make sure to close the line's shutters once you're done to let people know that the line is closed.
Fuck that shit, grab the nearest blunt object or gun and go out in a blaze of glory


== Cult ==
* Opening your windoor is a recipe for disaster, as anybody can simply let themselves in by climbing onto the table and hopping in your office. Keep it closed and refer to the above tip to prevent this from happening.
You have the ability to mass produce all-access IDs, and you do not start the round loyalty implanted. As a result of this, you are a prime target for conversion. As soon as you hear that a cult has been discovered, move your ID console to security and get yourself implanted, assuming security hasn't been consumed by eldritch horrors.


== Inhuman Resources ==
Short of a Chief Engineer tasked with stealing his own blueprints, traitor HoP is the easiest traitor job on the station. Give yourself all-access, use cargo for free guns, try to become acting captain and turn the station into your personal playground of terror.

HoP Office
Your office. You sit in it.

Being essentially the right-hand man of the Captain does have its perks. For starters, you spawn in your cozy little office that should keep you sheltered from the deranged lunatics outside. It's almost entirely constructed out of reinforced walls and comes with two layers of shutters to close people out of entering the HoP line (or from leaving it). The only people with access to your office are you and the Captain (usually), so you should be pretty safe if things get messy.

Within your office, you have a plethora of goodies in your locker for the taking, including an Armor Vest for some basic protection, and a couple other things like a door remote for controlling Civilian Access doors, a stylish-looking Head of Personnel themed Cloak and spare uniforms for when you need to disguise as yourself.


Have a look at all your unique equipment here.




Responsibilities

ID console
Your ID console, the basic tool of your job.

ID Changes

Your primary purpose is to sit at your desk and process people's requests for access. People often wish to change jobs or require additional access in order to do their job more effectively (or further their dirty Syndicate goals). It's also your responsibility to wipe access from the IDs of troublemakers at the request of other heads.

There are two ways to alter access. On the bottom of the ID console screen, after logging in, there is a list of accesses you can click to grant to or remove from an ID.

People will come to you with requests ranging from outlandish to mundane, so use your brain and ask a Head over the command channel for any objections before assigning someone to their department. Note that you will be held accountable if you give out access to a department without authorization from its head. Use common sense: maintenance access isn't a big deal, access to toxins is.


If you repeatedly ignore other heads of staff, adding people to departments randomly or handing out all access like candy, you can and likely will be contacted by an admin. Repeatedly handing out access to others in a way that causes problems for the station will result in you losing the ability to play as the Head of Personnel, so be mindful of what you do with that access computer. Refer to the Standard Operating Procedures which every Head is required to follow.

Job Slots

Your ID console and PDA have the ability to open and close slots for the majority of jobs. This is useful for opening infinite clown positions oh god situations where no more positions remain available and helps greatly to stem the sudden influx of 20+ assistants clamoring for access. This is also a good tool to use when somebody who has taken a valuable job is either dead, demoted, traitorous or an all-around useless chucklefuck.

You can also mark jobs as high priority if you feel the situation on the station calls for extra security/engineers/whatever. This is shown to players in the lobby. No more than five jobs can be prioritized at once.

If you're feeling creative, make up your own jobs with custom titles and access levels. There's a world of fun gimmicks you can play around with.

Departmental Management

You're in charge of the civilian and supply departments. See to it that Cargo isn't ordering ordering things they shouldn't be or smashing into crates and ensure the botanist isn't simply growing drugs instead of supplying the chef with much needed food.

Acting Captain

If the real Captain is KIA, MIA, or simply never arrives, the Chain of Command dictates that it is your job to start a massive civil war against Security with your buddies in Cargo step up and assume the position until they return. If this is the case at the start of the round, it is typically wise to make your first order of business to secure the important items inside the Captain's Quarters: the Captain's Spare ID located in the Bridge, the Nuclear Authentication Disk, and the corresponding Pinpointer.

The Pinpointer is often best left in the hands of the Head of Security or the Warden so that they can find your battered corpse or the perpetrator of your murder -- or track you down if you give them a reason.


Don't take too long to secure the Captain's items, or else the Head of Security or some Assistant will take the mandate of Acting Captain upon themselves. Either way, it's a fight you'll have a hard time winning.

Crew Relations

Due to your low workload compared to other heads, it's a good idea to always pay attention to general radio. People will often try to use this to summon you to your office when they need an ID upgrade. Aside from that it never hurts to have an awareness of what's going on around the station. Chat with the crew so they know you're not the stereotypical helmeted all-access mute that has come to epitomize the position.

Ian

Just so we're clear. Ian is your little buddy. Protect him from the various dangerous criminals, and make sure he escapes on the shuttle alive. You can use the pet carrier all Heads of Staff get in their locker to transport him. This is your most important job of all.

Tips

  • Different permissions on an ID let you edit different types of access:

ID Console - Can edit any access, including command, and lets you change assignments/jobs.
HoS Office - Can edit any security access.
CMO Office - Can edit any medbay access.
RD Office - Can edit any research access.
CE Office - Can edit any engineering access.
HoP Office - Can edit any general and supply access.

  • As a fail-safe, you can remove your own ID console access after granting it to a special blank card. This should slow people down who attempt to use your stolen ID to hand out all-access.
  • Asking for paperwork will defeat most all access asking shitters. It will also teach them the joys of asking the department's head of staff instead of you for menial access additions.
  • You can heal Ian by applying bruise packs to him.
  • Make sure to close the line's shutters once you're done to let people know that the line is closed.
  • Opening your windoor is a recipe for disaster, as anybody can simply let themselves in by climbing onto the table and hopping in your office. Keep it closed and refer to the above tip to prevent this from happening.
