Synthetic Whitelist Application
Byond ID? LocalizedDownpour
Marine Name Athena Monroe
Other Whitelist Applications I had a Predator App on the old forum
Name of the Synth Character you wish to play Taiga
Are you familiar with the Synthetic Programming and Guidelines? I am.
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example. Some examples of being allowed to engage in combat would be:
o Protecting patients while healing marines on the planet
o A Xeno getting on the dropship and slashing people
o Emergency situation, like being cornered while the ship is being boarded.
Synthetic Character Story ...It had been three days, the Colony barely looked as if it had once housed a human populace given the state of it's blown out buildings and deep craters. It had been three days in the remains of a library, Taiga sitting with the Command staff of the Falling Falcons as they huddled around a map of the Colony, battlelines drawn.
"This is nonsense! They're making us fight for every alley, every blasted inch of this backwater, they're nothing but boys, playing soldier with stolen weapons!"
Icy blue eyes fell on the exasperated Commander. Taiga was dressed in Marine fatigues, but unlike the others she wore no armor, just a simple patch of the battalion she was assigned to, a hand to his shoulder as she gave it a squeeze, though her stoic expression never changed. It looked as if she was about to speak but the whine of mortar shells cut her off, and the subsequent explosions of the makeshift Command Center being torn asunder, quickly drowned out but the shouting Commander
"Marines! Action Stations!"
The chatter of gunfire and shouts as men took up defensive positions and returned fire, it was then Taiga sprung to action, her attention first on her Commander, red stains leaking out from his armor as he barked orders to the defending marines,
"Commander. You're wounded...Allow me to..."
A shake of the Commanders head, pointing to the firing line that had taken form, the man sitting back in his chair, the pooling blood had gotten far worse and it didn't take much longer for him to pass out due to blood loss. Moving quickly, Taiga collected her bag and crouched low to avoid incoming fire, stopping near a frantic marine and a hard working medic trying to patch a nasty wound on the mans gut.
"Please hold him down. His flailing will make these wounds worse."
Her tone was even, calm, even as dirt rained down on the trio and rounds snapped over them. From her bag she pulled a set of clean tools, not quite a surgery set but it would do. Dexterous hands pulled fragments of metal from the screaming marines torso, so focused on her task of getting the man into a stable condition.
"You will be fine...the pain will only be temporary, jus-"
Though she would be cut off as two rounds entered her torso, knocking her over on her side, milky 'blood' staining her otherwise immaculate uniform. Patting her side and carefully lifting herself up to assess the damage she would try to get right back to work, the two marines looking to her with a degree of shock
"I would get down if I were you...I doubt I will have the time to pull bullets from you as well."
Applying pressure bandages soaked in a coagulating formula to the injuried marine she would grab him by the neck of his armor, her tote bag in the other.
"I will be back. Get men too wounded to fight here and I will get them off the front and treat them properly in safer conditions. I will see if I cannot get help routed here as well."
With a Nod to the medic that she had been assisting, Taiga would get to moving that Marine out of the Library and to a more quiet area of the Colony, a tent that had been erected as a field hospital some distance back. She wouldn't stay to see the results, or even if the marine she had been carrying was still conscious before she rushed back to that fervored battle, the ones too wounded to fight top of her concerns, and while the battle was turning in favor of the marines, Taiga's role in the operation ended there as several more rounds would penetrate her frame and she toppled over, unable to move, the last thing she remembered before powering down being moved back towards friendly lines for repairs.
Taiga awoke to the inside of the Almeyer, tucked into a pod, it took a moment to register that she was alive once more and fixed up, and after exiting her pod she would head right for the CIC after getting dressed into a uniform an cap. In the Captains chair was a man she did not recognize, obviously a replacement to the former Commander that she had seen pass away.
"Captain. Taiga reporting, I'll be your synthetic assistant for this cycle."
Finishing her greeting with a formal salute she survayed the bridge, awaiting her next assignment.
What is your Synth�s quirk and personality? Taiga often acts concerned for the humans she shares a ship with. She sees the behavior as a sort of morale booster for those she serves with. To Command staff she tries to emulate the ideal soldier and instill a sense of confidence in them so they don't have to worry, to lower enlisted she does her best to protect them and ensure they survive the encounters they find themselves in, often requesting to be on the frontlines, dragging marines to safety and patching up wounds or preforming in the field surgeries.
How familiar are you with Engineering? I am comfortable preforming all engineering tasks aside from engine set-up as I've only done it once or twice. But in practice it's not too hard.
How familiar are you with Command? I've played SO occasionally and rarer still XO. I know how the consoles work, and manage to do good work as a SO, less so as XO.
How familiar are you with Medical? I am fairly in tune with all of the surgeries, and play doctor/CMO enough to be comfortable with everything aside from chemistry.
How familiar are you with Requisitions? I play RO/Req on occasion, I know how to set coords and launch items myself, or prepare the squad tubes for the Bridge to deploy.
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you? Honestly, It looks like alot of fun to play. I have taken a great liking to the support roles lately, and having a role where I'd be able to effectively preform all of them as needed, or fill in a much needed gap at a critical time is a fun concept to me
