Character Information
Name of the Synth Character you wish to play Jack
What is your Synthetic's Personality? Jack’s a very confidently casual “bro” synth that is made to personally tailor to the USCM’s analysis of marine culture. Jack was originally made to assist in the operations of Marine Corp’s radio stations. While the model never made it completely past basic integration, the goal was to create a familiar voice the marines could grow accustomed to. After initial positive reports from marines and station managers, an executive decision was made for a transfer to direct service on USCM ships.
Based on Hollywood’s vision of the 1980s, marines will find Jack congratulating them with a “most excellent” or “bodacious” rather than a contemporary “good job”. With the Walkman still in service, Jack will not hesitate to offer song recommendations to marines he finds wearing them, as he has long observed marine listening preferences through his initial run as a radio station assistant.
Jack is meant to make sure the marines see him as more than an assigned synthetic but someone that matches the unique culture and temperament observed by the USCM. He is there to make sure those who need his use, are having a most excellent experience with the model.
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you? I originally fell in love with CM for the setting of Aliens and the RP aspect, I’ve always really been infatuated with the setting as a whole. I really love the idea of synth for the RP chance it offers and the unique way they interact with the rest of the players. I won’t lie I am not even close to what most define as robust, but it kind of works out since I get a lot more satisfaction in a support role than killing Xenos. When I first started expanding from PFC gameplay I immediately went to RO, played enough RO for a lifetime as I found this special gratification in supplying an operation. Then I dipped my toe in medic and almost non-stopped playing it before timelock reset, something about a marine saying “Thanks Doc” gets me way more satisfaction than killing anything in CM.
I think I’m capable to rise to the bar that synth sets for their standard and hopefully surpassing expectations. Whenever I do anything whitelist related I always make sure I do it in the fullest capacity I can because more is expected of these roles, I want to impress and make an impact.
What is your most memorable interaction with a synthetic? I forgot the name of the other Synthetic, but one was Renault. I was playing CO and we just had the dropship crash, the Xeno ship crashed near tank bay and I ordered a hold in medbay. So when we identified the crash site, a massive open battle happened in the hangar. I began a charge, rallying the marines for a push, and during the fighting, I was grabbed by a praetorian. I was thoroughly in a rough spot as I tried to fight out to get back to friendly lines. I ended up going crit and before I was about to die I just see a synth blitz towards me and pull me out of the furnace. To say I was thankful for that player would be an understatement, they amazingly supported the marines during the fight.
Synthetic Character Story
Experience
How familiar are you with Engineering? I have about 35 hours on combat engineer, pre-timelocks probably another 30 more. I know how to repair an APC, mess with doors, build cades smartly, deconstruct walls, and do any other average engineering task.
How familiar are you with Command? Over 150+ hours in command in total. I would consider myself familiar
How familiar are you with Medical? As it stands I have 36 hours on doctor, 30 on corpsman. I used to play an insane amount of medical before time locked. I know most surgeries from muscle memory (bone break surgeries, organ, brain damage, etc). I am confident enough in chemistry to make the most common meds: IA, KD, IS, TB, and MB.
How familiar are you with Requisitions? Extremely familiar, I used to play RO nonstop before the timelocks reset. But as RO’s impact somewhat lessened over time I never really went back to maining it. So at the moment, my total Req time is maybe 10 hours. But if I had to guess my actual time I would put it around: 80 hours as RO.
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example. -I am treating a dead marine and a runner tries to attack me and my patient while I am operating, I am allowed to act on the threat if it insists on its attempt to kill me and the person in my care, I can defend myself and my patient. But if it disengages, I can not pursue it as the marine’s health is my priority.
-Self-preservation, if a combat caste is actively trying to kill me and I can not get out of the situation, I can defend myself till they are either neutralized or runoff.
-A marine is being mauled by a single lurker, I can rush to pull the marine out of the situation and force the lurker to withdraw to save the marine.
