Character Information
Name of the Synth Character you wish to play Duncan
What is your Synth�s quirk and personality? A father-figure or caring uncle best describes Duncan's quirk. He often offers marines advice or encouragement in trying times and tends to refer to them as "sport", "champ" or similar names. Obviously he doesn't do this with higher ranking personnel or people with greater authority.
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you? I enjoy playing the support roles in CM because it gives an interesting view on the war machine every round. Playing as a support role also offers more chances for decent RP as you have to interact with other people.
I'm interested in the synth whitelist because it would intensify the experience of being a support role with more responsibility as well as offering more RP opportunities. I think roleplaying a character that is not capable of emotion but can react to other people's actions or words appropriately will be an interesting challenge.
From my time as engineer, doctor, medic and other roles I believe I have shown I am competent enough to perform this role as well as uphold the RP standard.
Synthetic Character Story
Experience
How familiar are you with Engineering? I'm very familiar with the concepts of engineering. I find it an interesting role because I believe it has a high skill ceiling. I have memorised the basics to Cade-building, FOB construction, APC repair (both vehicle and power kind), door hacking, Tcomms repair and so on.
How familiar are you with Command? Not a role I particularly like but I understand how it functions. I'm well able to operate the overwatch and dropship consoles as well as the other equipment. I also understand the importance of properly relaying orders and important information such as the location of incoming OBs.
How familiar are you with Medical? Absolutely familiar as medic is my most played role. It's most synths' favourite role from what I can tell and I can see why. I'm capable of basic medic gameplay, performing triage so you can prioritise certain injured or dead marines, asking for help with CPR, filling up a marine with chems, patching them and splinting etc. I also fully understand advanced medical operations, performing heart, bone, lung repair and so on as well as replacing lost limbs or removing larva.
Manning the chem station or performing research tasks is also not a problem.
How familiar are you with Requisitions? Req is a role I really enjoy because it involves more resource management than other roles. I know which vendor to look in for all the attachments and usual gear and I am aware of what to drop in the supply crate at the start of the op and how to keep in contact with marines to figure out what supplies are running low. I understand the importance of metal and ammo resupplies in the current meta, especially the supply at the start.
I can also effectively use the budget on supplies that are necessary to the success of the op.
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example. If a runner was harassing me while I was setting up power in an area I would give it a few hits until it backed off. However I would not chase it down.
In another scenario, if I was in an area full of injured marines and a lurker was picking away at them I would attack the lurker until it backs off then move the injured to a safer area.
As a synth I would use combat in self-defence or defending someone else but I would not go looking for a fight and I wouldn't chase down any enemies.
