Character Information
Name of the Synth Character you wish to play Levy
What is your Synthetic's Personality? I'm gunning for a synth that's big on wargaming and strategy games. Things that come to mind is boardgames like Risk, up to the scale of wargaming a conflict across the stars. In-game, this will be represented with Chess and Uno, as it should be relatable to most marines.
Naturally, the personality will evolve as I play this character more and get a feel for them.
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you? I've never been an expert at CM combat, but it's always what drew me to the server. Initially, I thought I'd never play a support role, because why would I do that on a combat RP server?
And then I played doctor for the first time and deployed to the FOB, and got absolutely HOOKED. Support gameplay is awesome, and synth is THE premier support gameplay whitelist.
Additionally, it's heavy on the RP, which fits my background as an HRP server main.
What is your most memorable interaction with a synthetic? I actually have two really good memories of synths. Both were when I was super injured and had to limp back to base to get healed and my bones shoved back into place. Both times, I ran into a synth, the first was Day, and the second was Tara.
Usually, doctors blaze through surgery and just mumble when you try to talk to them, but with Day and Tara, I had a really fun (albeit short) conversation during and a short bit after my surgery, which is something I would love to have with someone else in the future.
Synthetic Character Story
Experience
How familiar are you with Engineering? I've played quite a bit of ComTech, though most of my experience was during my early days of playing PFC with the Engi pamphlets. I love frontline engi gameplay, placing cades to prevent flanks, but I can also assist in the creation of an adequate FOB.
As for shipside, I primarily play Ordnance Technician, which I now know like the back of my hand thanks to Kryth's handy guide and a bit of experimentation of my own.
How familiar are you with Command? Quite familiar, though primarily in the role of Squad Leader, and Acting Squad Leader (I love playing RTO). I know how to rally and order a squad, and I'm fairly good at directing people without being overbearing.
As for shipside, I know how to handle CIC as a Staff Officer, which includes overwatching several squads at once, calling out threats, and especially calling out downed but revivable people at obscure locations.
How familiar are you with Medical? I'm primarily familiar with the surgery system, though I can also handle a chemline with relative ease. I know what each chemical does and what would be most effective to use at a given moment.
I take pride in being able to do medical tasks quickly without many failures, as to get the player in front of me back into action as fast as they desire.
How familiar are you with Requisitions? When I first thought about applying for synth, I only knew the very basics of handling Requisitions, but since I've gone through a Req bootcamp with the one and only Brad Ward, in which our escapades taught me just about everything I need to know about handling it quickly and efficiently.
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example. Synthetics are not allowed to perform offensive combat actions unless it's code delta/hijack. Even when that's the case, they should always be trying to assist marines rather than get frags. Keep it defensive.
Scenario One: A lurker has ambushed myself and a lone marine. I am allowed to fight the lurker until it runs away. I will not pursue, I will fireman carry the marine back to safety and heal them.
Scenario Two: I am on the frontline, and a runner comes straight at me and starts blasting me with rapid-fire slashes. I am NOT allowed to fight them, so I will retreat behind marine lines. Should the runner follow me there and no or only few marines are in sight. I will be allowed to fight them until they run away or die.
Scenario Three: I am a synthetic survivor. Combat restrictions are automatically more lax until rescue arrives. Should a warrior attack my group of roaming survivors, I AM allowed to spring into action and start going ham on it. If the warrior disengages to a sufficient distance (about a screen and a half away, give or take), it won't make sense to run further and lose the group, so I will return to them.
