Character Information
Name of the Synth Character you wish to play Otis
What is your Synthetic's Personality? Otis's primary personality programming was designed to emit a warm fatherly tone and demeanor. Originally planned as an industrial assistant, his interests lie mostly in the realm of structured organization. Things should be in their place at all times. Geometric formations, cleaned areas, well constructed buildings, all are fascinating to Otis. To a lesser extent when medical topics are concerned the same fascination could be applied to human anatomy. Otis's primary form of communication is establishing good report with an individual through a friendly demeanor and a warm smile. Though the emotions are superficial at best, they put humans at ease. This allows Otis to do his job without interference or worse, the interjection of opinion from those who cannot construct more perfect structures and forms.
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you? I've always enjoyed the RP aspect of CM13, and expanding my RP realm to the synthetic areas would help broaden my horizons. The aspect of CM that I've enjoyed the most has always been supporting players in various ways, be that medical or construction. Synth having a focus on that instead of direct combat is in my wheelhouse and I feel I would make for a good supporting character.
What is your most memorable interaction with a synthetic? During a round gone wrong, as a PO I ran into Katie during hijack. We had a nuke on the planet but it was disarmed due to marines failing to hold. We had a brief discussion about how our priority to prevent what damage we could was destruction of the colony. We snuck from the back of the ship to the hangar through maint, hopping into the Normandy and took a trip down, covering each other as we walked from LZ2 to LZ1. After a brief RP, we armed the nuclear torpedo and bolted for the Normandy to help relieve the ship as best we could (it was very much a lost cause). From there on we simply kept each other alive while discussing what we could do to possibly save others, even though there wasn't much we could do. Was a great memory of a super tense situation where we altered the outcome of things with stealth, cleverness and avoiding combat lest we both die.
Synthetic Character Story
Experience
How familiar are you with Engineering? Good enough to work through most of the dispensable equipment from the lathes, including making computers, installing cameras and setting them to a network, building walls, repairing equipment as well as APCs and the power network.
How familiar are you with Command? I'm decent on the basics, sending announcements, using the dual ID scanner to start evac, etc.
How familiar are you with Medical? I've run medbay solo before, including chems, surgery and the like. As far as surgery goes I've done every instance of every surgery except for monkey cube removal (have yet to find the lucky newbie CL!)
How familiar are you with Requisitions? I've run req solo before and am familiar enough with the game that the two letter abbreviations are second nature. Same with finding crates for FOB equipment deliveries.
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example. Protecting yourself or the humans who are with you in the immediate term (no chasing) or on Red alert on the ship during hijack (restrictions loosened as long as other duties aren't neglected)

Other Information
Do you have anything else you would like to include about your application? As a server admin I really enjoy running events for players and am always looking for ways to help expand them into the realm of the interesting. I'd really like to try out synth and get a feel for what makes synthetics tick and makes the game fun for them. Using that knowledge I can help craft events
