Discord ID? Someone Random#5544
Marine Name Tristen Keener | Xenomorph DI-E2
Other Whitelist Applications //showthrea...ic-Application
I had an accepted Commander application but I can't find it, I was removed from the whitelist in the old-player purge
I also vaguely remember applying for Predator? But I can't find it either or know if it really happened.
Character Information
Name of the Synth Character you wish to play James
What is your Synthetic's Personality? A 1980s early 2000s interpretation of a scientist (Have you played Half Life 1?) made for use in scientific exporation, deep space scanning, and field wound treatment.
They usually make scientific remarks on various things and attempting to figure out how they work and their potential uses, "How intriguing, it grows to an adult in less than a few hours... I do wonder what causes this rapid growth, and if we may apply that to any of our industries, food perhaps? Or maybe even the Artificial Womb program. Oh, the possibilities are endless!"
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you? Aside from the obvious mechanical applications (Faster defibbing and surgery, new gear and equipment.) I don't particularly enjoy playing one role at a time such as cargo tech, engineer, pilot officer, researcher and doctor as it grows limiting and I often dont have anything to do other than talk over the radio.
Synthetic allows me to do all of the support roles in a single round, never running out of anything to do. And this isn't even mentioning the roleplay potential of being a Synthetic like how you respond to marines, or trying to think like a robot would. Also Working Joes, they're funny little fellas and I'd like to play one.
What is your most memorable interaction with a synthetic? All of my interactions with Synthetics were pretty nice, but the most memorable was one performing bone repair surgery on the ground.
Synthetic Character Story https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing
"Lights flicker on and off in the maintenance closet illuminating a gruff looking guard slumped against the wall holding an HG37 shotgun, slightly corroded around the sides. The sides of the room are neglected and only look bearable due to the amount of custodial and maintenance supplies covering it. Water drips from a vent in the ceiling merging into a small puddle on the floor. A young janitor is staring at a researcher on the floor, labcoat stained with blood, while an old balding man in a similar labcoat stands over them with medical supplies."
Experience
How familiar are you with Engineering? 8/10 I know how to make a solid defensive line with barricades and how to space them. I know how to repair an APC (both kinds) and (de)construct walls.
I do not know the more obscure engineering constructions like fire alarms or the necessary stock parts for constructible machinery without looking at the wiki.
How familiar are you with Command? 6.5/10 I know how to operate the Overwatch consoles and direct medics towards defibable bodies. I have 160 hours in Xenomorph Queen and know Xenomorph strategies and how to counter them. I know to scream at the marines like they're toddl- Constantly remind marines of their objectives to make sure they don't split up.
I do not know how to competently command the marine force. I do not know the best tactics for marines to follow.
How familiar are you with Medical? 9/10 This is my best skill so far. I know how to perform surgeries, and how best to repair multiple bonefractures at once, I also know that QuickClot allows you to skip the first retractor step entirely with no downside.
I am pretty competent at chemistry, but not the best. I know how to make IA without looking at the wiki and know what the overdose limits are for most non-obscure chemicals.
I know how to revive someone from 600 burn/brute, stabilize a near-death marine to avoid defibbing, where and when to defib. I also know how to triage, but I haven't been in many situations where it was needed.
How familiar are you with Requisitions? 7/10. I know what to put in a standard FOB supply crate, I can listen to marines orders and figure out whether its something the budget can or cannot handle. I know what ammunitions are in highest demand and which are lowest and account accordingly.
I can competently do the attachment line and rarely have to ask for what an acronym for an attachment is.
I do not however have much playtime doing requisitions proper (Not enough to unlock RO).
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example. Regular synthetic scenario. Runner pounces and gets stunned by the Synthetics capabilities, and gets smacked with a fire axe a couple of times and goes crit. Are there marines nearby? If not, then you can smack it until it dies. If there is, inform them of an unconscious hostile and be on your way. Was it on the front? If so, you shouldn't of done that since there were many marines nearby and you had better things to do.
Hijack scenario, you're defending lifeboats and xenos are quite literally up against the wall, in this case, your barricades. You may attack them while they're slashing the barricades unless there's an unattended corpse, nearly broken barricade or hole in the wall that needs cading.
Synthvivor scenario. You're protecting your little holdout from xenomorphs attacking it. Survivor knocks a xeno into crit five or so tiles away from your barricade and for some reason can't fire again. Are there any xenomorphs nearby? If so, don't chase it as they may kill you thus violating self preservation. Are there no xenomorphs nearby? You may run out of the barricades for a few quick seconds to finish it off, if you get caught offguard and get warrior stunned and killed in five seconds, this was just a gross misjudgement on your part and is just a skill issue, and not a violation of synthetic programming.

Do you have anything else you would like to include about your application? I want to thank Lagomorphica for helping with general synthetic questions, Destis, Katskan, Masar and Binspin for helping with proofreading the story and providing feedback. I don't think I could of done it without help.
