Synthetic Whitelist Application
Byond ID? optimisticdude
Marine Name Douglas Borde, Kim Hwang-il
Other Whitelist Applications N/A
Name of the Synth Character you wish to play Ridgewell
Are you familiar with the Synthetic Programming and Guidelines? Yes
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example. Synthetics can only fight when their, or another marine's life is endangered without any means of negotiation, retreat or help.
For example, if a Synthetic is shot at by a CLF fighter, the Synthetic can attempt to retreat; but if retreat is unavailable, the Synthetic must fight the CLF fighter until it either retreats, or dies.
Likewise, xenomorphs share the same principle with the CLF, or UPP. In the case of mutiny however, it is in the Synthetic's player to decide what side to choose, but the Synth must not involve itself in combat unless in self preservation.
Synthetic Character Story
What is your Synth�s quirk and personality? Ridgewell was designed in the 60s during the boom of Marine enlistment during the brutal Tienstin Campaign, which produced unmotivated and questionably trained Marines in order to discipline and guide them with a heartless and decisive fashion.
Inspired off personalities such as Platoon Corporal Richard Nauyokas from Bad Lads' Army, Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket and Sergeant Major John Sixta from Generation Kill, he is designed to improve morale and strike loyalty into Marines with a mix of non-violent harshness and morale-boosting speech.
Due to regulations, modifications were made to his programming to be less hostile and aggressive to be suitable for shipside operations on rowdier ships with newer or dubious marine troops.
However, his regimen of strict discipline and yelling is greatly restrained during the post-operation R&R, or during intense combat, in order to make him fully attentive on his duties.
How familiar are you with Engineering? As a survivor and MT main, I have a lot of experience in Engineering; from construction to deconstruction, to hacking and some small niche skills in cases of emergencies, such as wiring and setting up a PACMAN and power cell synthesis.
How familiar are you with Command? Out of the four fields, this is the one where I have least experience. Granted, I do know my consoles, but I'm more comfortable with SL, where it's more hands-on and exciting, or RO, a more mellow way of operating Consoles and leading small groups of Cargonians.
How familiar are you with Medical? As a survivor and doctor main, I am very familiar with medicine (as most of the time, you need it in order to survive). I know my meds, I know my core chems (although I have a challenge for niche ones like paracetamol or some wacky stuff like that, kinda do need the chem guide for those), and I know surgery; both conventional and ghetto.
How familiar are you with Requisitions? One of my earliest roles was as a CT, learning the ropes from how ammunition dispensing works, how to pack flares and how to use autolathes, so I've gotten a lot of experience as a CT. I also played some RO before transitioning as a SL/CE, learning the ropes of managing points and paying for good supplies rather than a shit ton of sentries.
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you? Now I don't have the natural skill/talent to robust xenos as a Squad Marine, so I always played a lot of support out of wishing to help the marines who could robust, and the fact that I enjoy support more than frontlining (as it is still just as important).
However, there are times where people get very frustrated because their support players are bald, or lacking in number (maybe a bald medic, or a lack of engineers), and sometimes, I can't play it all. However, Synthetic allows me to overcome those issues of lacking flexibility and be an universal support.
I also enjoy shipside RP with MTs, and Synth seems like a new angle to do that. (hah imagine RPing doe :moyai
