Other Whitelist Applications
Name of the Synth Character you wish to play Ivan
Are you familiar with the Synthetic Programming and Guidelines? Yeah
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example. Only when it is to avoid direct harm/destruction to myself or a human and flight is not a feasible alternative. And then only until the immediate threat is disabled. No chasing fleeing foes or finishing off disabled threats. (I'm not sure what's the stance on destroying weeds under downed xenos?)
...I think I am also allowed to disarm marines if they pose a threat to themselves or others.
Example:
Two marines are down and crit/dead on LV Fitness Road, frontline is in barrens. I attempt to recover them and a Lurker pounces me. I can then proceed to attack the Lurker until it leaves the immediate vicinity of the bodies or goes into crit, at which point I return to my previous task at hand.
Synthetic Character Story
What is your Synth�s quirk and personality? Ivan used to be a UPP combat synth that has been adapted and recycled for standard USMC non-combat use. Because that's cheaper than building a synth from scratch. The Ivan line is a cheap stopgap to put captured UPP assets to productive use and, less officially, give W-Y R&D ready access to fully functional combat synths. Not that the good men and women at W-Y would have any use for data from combat synths. Because any research into that particular area would be highly illegal, making it unthinkable.
His personality matrix, equally, has been salvaged from the baseline UPP model. And struggles with the new diction it works under, leading to a very distinct accent. That aside, the UPP propaganda module is much deeper integrated into the core programming and literally hardwired into the behaviour cortex, leading to the occasional relapse into standard phrases, though adapted for USMC vocabulary thanks to the altered dictionary. You get what you pay for.
His loyalty to the USMC, of course, is absolute.
How familiar are you with Engineering? I've built fat MEGA FOBs as Bravo Engie.
I've hacked into Charlie req and shocked Brig doors as Delta Engie.
I've spent waaaaaaaay too much time getting up to all kinds of hijinks as bored MT/CE.
I've been utterly perplexed by broken APCs not being simply fixed through switching out the battery, and since learned how to rebuild them from scratch.
I've built secret and not-so-secret bars complete with APC, lighting and doors on various spots across the Almeyer.
Weirdly enough, with over 50 hours played as squad engie, I have never once fired a mortar. So, really, I've secretly been a synthgineer all along.
How familiar are you with Command? I got a CO Whitelist.
I know I can't do OBs as synth (though I can set coords).
How familiar are you with Medical? I can do all operations, and know how to chain multiple different ones in the same area into a single procedure (ie, broken heart, unwanted pregnancy and splintered ribs).
I know which drug does what just by looking at the sprite of the injector/pill bottle
I know the recipe for IA, Tribica and KD from memory. Also, fuck Medics who order Tribica.
I can do Research. I'm not a fan (expand, please) but I know how to grow horrible mutant fruits, analyse chemicals and synthesize better versions.
How familiar are you with Requisitions? I know how to flush HEFA boxes.
I can decipher any req line letter salad. "Ag, bc, 2 mag, G4-1, webbing, m15, shotgun rig please!" No, I do not know why anyone would want to order that, but I handed it to that fucking IO and he thanked me.
I know how ASRS works. From cash to stamps to illegal arms deals with the CL.
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you? Really? I wanna be a creepy Working Joe survivor. That's what got me invested in starting this application.
But I also greatly enjoy playing support roles in CM, much more so than actual combat roles. And Synthetic is the ultimate support role, on account of being all the support roles. So I hope I can make that fun and engaging for other people as well.
Now, I'm not exactly known for being a grand RP dispenser, but I also like to think I'm not the opposite of that. And I do hope that I will be able to live up to the amazing standards set by the other Synths. With Ivan's quirk, I believe I might be able to do that.
Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason? Do you have any active jobbans? Nah
Are you currently banned from our Discord, and if so, why? Nah
Do you have anything else you would like to include about your application? Took me forever to come up with a quirk that didn't already exist. Harsh, man.
Do you understand that any player - donor or otherwise - can have their whitelist status revoked should they break our rules or the Synthetic Programming Guideline? Yes
Do you understand that you cannot advertise your application on any platform for votes. Do you also understand you may not edit this application 1 hour after it has been posted? Yes
