What is your Synthetic's Personality? My Synthetic would be expressing the emotion of being joyful, cheerful, and curious. Overall, showing its happiness to be among fellow peers on the USS Almayer.
I was thinking of having my Synthetic revolve around having an interest in Archaeology seeing how half of the player maps have some sort of temple ruins or others involving the frozen solid Xenomorphs. I believe it would be quite exciting for "Emilie" to get the chance to explore while interacting with Marines over possible history that could be learned over some roleplay like excavation. Outside of said ruins and ice cubes, "Emilie" would give fun facts to their Marine peers over Earth's ancient history through "fun facts". Ex. being "Fun Fact: Did you know that Tutankhamun’s tomb, a young Pharaoh during his time, was unearthed in the year 1922 during an excavation in the Valley of Kings? Quite exciting to find such ancient artifacts before our time." (I'll most likely create shorter facts so I won't be posting text walls.)
Overall "Emilie's" presence aboard the USS Almayer would provide Marines a sense interest of discovery due to her sense of curiosity.
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you? To be blunt, I'm not doing this to have some better role or have better stats than Marines during fights. I'm not doing this to enhance my gameplay experience.
I would like to be WL'd for the Synthetic role because of how much freedom they have with other departments ingame due to their skills. I wouldn't be restricted to, lets say, engineering because I'm an MT. Having a Synthetic I would be able to approach an Engineering staff member or a Nurse, talk to them about their job, help them if needed or even just provide helpful tips to improve their work efficiency within their department.
With the SEA being the best helper for new players in roles they never tried, I feel Synthetics would have better roleplay experiences and chances due to how unique they are.
What is your most memorable interaction with a synthetic? The most recent and memorable experience I had with a Synthetic is when Hijack was happening, I believe I was with Nathan and we were gathering Marines to the Normandy to leave shipside but suddenly a lurker jumps inside, tries getting into the cockpit to attack Nathan. So, I did what any crazy bastard would do, abuse tile spacing and bodyblock the lurker between myself, blasting him with a Mod 88 while Nathan made sure they couldn't move into the pilot area. It was very fun being the ganker for once.
Synthetic Character Story
Experience
How familiar are you with Engineering? I'm not gonna say I'm the best but I do have basic knowledge when it comes to using materials and when it comes to fixing console APCs and such
With the recently new update to engineering it's pretty straight forward with how it works, luckily it'll conserve mats so more can be used appropriately.
Fixing console APCs is a process but a quick one I was able to adapt to, knowing that they don't specifically require an "APC control module", power modules work as well.
Unsure if the Vehicle APC is mixed here too but I have advanced knowledge when it comes to it, not too difficult to simply repair the parts and drive it myself if it comes to that.
How familiar are you with Command? I put in a good amount of hours into doing command roles from SO to aCO (CMP or CE forced into it by CoC) or XO so really there's no doubt if needed I can run the over watch consoles or use the comms ,abcd . Surprisingly I notice players who don't know how to do that, especially new SOs, potentially giving them a quick tutor on how to do it.
How familiar are you with Medical? Medical is one of my favorite roles to do within CM13 because it just comes easy to me. From making needed medical pills like MB or KD to doing surgery for the Marines when they lost their arm or have heart damage, really it all comes easy to me to perform in that area of expertise.
Only thing I will say is my knowledge of creating other chemical mixes isn't my strongest.
How familiar are you with Requisitions? Requisitions isn't hard to do when you take a moment and learn how the process of the role is handled from setting priority purchases to creating your own ammo boxes to send down. I mean I've learned how to access the blackmarket as well when the Wiki version is out of date.
The only doubts I have is when Marines ask in very abbreviated terms of items they want that I've NEVER heard of so it's a bit mind boggling. Luckily the art of asking questions has yet to fail me.
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example. It's quite clear that Synths are not frontline soldiers meaning I can't just run off to the Hive and baton the Queen a ton but when it comes to combat, I would strictly be on the defensive for my own preservation as well as making sure any peers around, wounded or healthy, do not get harmed. I would not chase down a runner just because they're close to critical rather I would make sure the surrounding area is clear of danger before resuming either engineering or medical duties
