Character InformationName of the Synth Character you wish to play Buddy
What is your Synth�s quirk and personality? Buddy served a very short stint in childcare and its had some dominance over his personality. In general Buddy refuses to be rude, crude or otherwise negative. Buddy maintains an up-beat and positive personality no matter the situation.
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you? In general I've been pretty dismissive towards synthetic in the past. I do enjoy in general the support roles the synthetic plays, mainly I'm just interested in playing the character. I have no idea why you should whitelist me though, I'd rather not toot my own horn but I guess I know what I'm doing and I can roleplay.
Synthetic Character Story
USS Almayer / CIC / Tychon's Rift
Buddy's jovial voice crackles onto the radio, "Captain! You shouldn't be so worried, I handle trivial work like this all day! After all, your Buddy is here to handle it!"; the synthetic boisterously laughed in a clearly artificial tone that failed to carry its intent. The CIC stood crowded with various duty officers shuffled around a camera console sat in the box, an aura of dread hung over the air as their eyes stood glued to the console. The Captain spoke in a somewhat hesitant voice, "Buddy, is this really a time to be joking around?" to which his radio replied, "Your Buddy's always serious, Captain! This is just like when I handled your haircut last week!". The Captain brushed his hand over his hair which had now become fraught with sweat as he looked at the tangle of wires; how Buddy's hands snipped and spliced at the maintenance hatches' guts.
Peering over the Captain's shoulder, the Almayer's Chief Engineer placed his weight further and further forward onto the Captain before he brushed the man from his shoulder. "Commander." the Captain spoke, "I know your anxious but I've already got enough weight on my back right now.". The ship's Chief Engineer lips moved to reply but the open comm instead had Buddy chime in, "Now you're in the spirit Captain! That was a good one!" the synthetic person's fake laugh rang out again as the camera console showed him raise a yellow and purple striped container from the innards Buddy had dove into. As the container was raised all eyes were at attention, and no shoulder stood unstiffened in the CIC. Buddy as he moved the container rung off some quip but everyone in the CIC's ears had been jammed closed with the tension and the oppressive silence that stuffed the CIC tight.
"Tada! Just like magic!", were the words Buddy flatly exclaimed, and with his trick performed the CIC erupted with cheers. Not only had in that moment the CIC flooded with praise, but the engine room Buddy resided in flooded with radiation from the container he held. His current task was to secure the fusion core to one of the the ship's reactors which had run a serious malfunction. The tension that pervaded the CIC moments before had oozed out of the men and women inside the CIC while they chanted Buddy's name. The Captain chimed in on the radio as the container was secured and stabilized, "Good work Buddy, get that shit showered off you and come on up here.", Buddy replied unenthusiastically as first, "Language, Captain! I know we're all sailors but it doesn't mean we have to talk like them.". It wasn't unusual for Buddy to chide others for cursing, but his tone shifted quickly back to his usual cheerful demeanor; "And Captain you could have just told me to take a shower if I smelt bad! No need to almost blow up the ship!". The Almayer's Captain chuckled in a dry manner as Buddy brought himself through decontamination and shortly after made his way to the CIC.
In the CIC the gathered crowd slowly dispersed; those who cared for Buddy like a pet or friend stayed and gave brief congratulations before finding their way back to their assigned duties before only the Captain, Chief Engineer and Buddy itself remained. They spoke briefly on the matter, now resolved, condemnations slipped from the Captain's lips to his subordinate's ears at Buddy looked on; waiting for the right time to interject. When the time came Buddy piped up, "Now! No need to keep the Commander in hot water, that's what we have the fusion reactors for!". Both men eyed the synthetic queerly but the Captain's expression lost its sternness and his shoulders relaxed as he proceeded to speak, "Well Commander, I suppose you should thank Buddy for saving your ass, not to mention all of ours.". The Captain nudged Buddy with his elbow in a friendly manner, the synthetic stayed ramrod straight; only for a moment though. Buddy mimicked taking light force the shove, somewhat out of sync with the actual action its self; replying with his characteristic reproduced chuckle.
"All in a day's work, sir! Your Buddy's always here for you!"
ExperienceHow familiar are you with Engineering? Very much.
How familiar are you with Command? Very.
How familiar are you with Medical? Very.
How familiar are you with Requisitions? Decently, as in I don't know the meta basically since I don't play it often. That being said I can order crates, hand out shit and send it down just like anyone can.
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example. Generally only for matters of self defense, or the defense of someone in their care ala, wounded unable to mount a defense; or when no other persons can defend the synthetic and retreat isn't immediately available Synthetics are able to kill attacking enemy forces such as xenomorph, CLF, UPP etc; though still only in defense. Otherwise when handling marines they're to remain non-lethal in their use of force. Generalizing as well if something runs from a synthetic they're not intended to chase it, instead focusing on the priorities of friendly forces support needs along with their own self preservation.
All of these, barring the non-lethal force with marines is laxed when hijack occurs.
