Character Information
Name of the Synth Character you wish to play Phineas
What is your Synth�s quirk and personality? Salesman with a slight affiliation with W-Y (but as per the rules obviously aligned to USMC goals).
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you? I honestly enjoy CM from a roleplaying perspective, I would not consider myself a “robusto” marine in any sense of the term. I primarily derive enjoyment from playing shipside roles. I see synthetics and whitelist roles as the main carriers/maintainers of roleplay standards among the player base - although they are still some players that do hold themselves to a higher RP standard and are not whitelist players.
Synthetic Character Story
Experience
How familiar are you with Engineering? I have 204 hours playing time across all of the engineering roles. I have had opportunities to command a robust engineering department on occasions and know how to lead men in construction/maintenance of both the ship and the fob. From an ordnance tech perspective, I understand how to make most forms of explosives and also load/chamber the OB. I also have much experience as a squad engineer. When playing as part of the ground force, I default to Bravo, where I have also led fob construction from a SL position.
How familiar are you with Command? I have about 40 hours in command roles. I honestly prefer not to play in the XO role because at times I feel pressured to get results. I occasionally squad lead as Bravo, primarily directing and maintaining an orderly FOB. As a Staff Officer, I am familiar with Overwatch, OB and utilizing the Supply Drop commands. I also know maps enough to direct forces in the right direction. I also realize that the key area of command is ensuring the key right mix of communications, in terms of what and when to communicate. I also have some experience with MP, while not a command role, gives me a solid understanding of Marine Law and the ability to discern what is a lawful order. Finally as CE, I have at times led operations during lowpop - ultimately with mixed results.
How familiar are you with Medical? I have around 88 hours in medical roles, primarily playing as a Doctor and or Nurse in this role. I admit to having limited time as Squad Medic but in the past have played as both FOB and APC Doctor.. I have enjoyed learning how to be a doctor and believe I can handle medical scenarios well. I have a strong understanding of correct surgical and triage procedures. I will admit to not having much research experience at this time.
How familiar are you with Requisitions? I have 19 hours of playing time in Requisition roles and am familiar with and understand how/what to procure and when to drop certain supplies. Having spent time manning the line, I know what marines for the most part want.
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example. If returning a wounded marine from the frontline back to the FOB, I am allowed to protect myself but not pursue any attacker.
In the event of a hostile force boarding the Almayer, I may defend myself with lethal (unarmed/fire axe/telescopic baton) force, but ultimately would favor retreating to better render aid to marines.

Other Information
Do you have anything else you would like to include about your application? I enjoy playing this game as a roleplayer and often find myself just playing shipside roles to add some spice for other players. Thanks for taking the time to read my application. If you have any questions, I am happy to answer them here or in discord. Also if curious, I primarily play in the Pacific Time Zone in the evenings.
