Character Information
Name of the Synth Character you wish to play Sawyer
What is your Synthetic's Personality? Sawyer was designed with the purpose of information gathering, and is sold as a unit specifically made to obtain and relay accurate intel. As such, he’s programmed to be naturally curious and ask questions. These questions can range from asking about simple battlefield information, to asking about the thoughts and opinions of the humans he is working under.
Outside of this purpose, he is curious about how humans think, what their values are, and what views they hold. He is eager to ask about and learn the experiences of humans, and how they view those experiences through their own personal lens. He also has a tendency of asking a group of humans the same question to gauge the diversity of thought between them, as well as to simply collect information.
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you? I’ve always found artificial humans/synthetics to be an interesting concept. The question of whether or not something artificial can be “human” or something similar to it fascinates me. I think synthetics in the Alien universe/franchise are a good example of something designed to make you question whether or not it really feels anything, or if it’s just programmed to react to stimuli a certain way. The opportunity to roleplay as one is exciting to me.
I also just enjoy playing support roles in CM, especially medical, since I’m not very good at combat.
What is your most memorable interaction with a synthetic? My most memorable interaction with a synthetic is split, since there’s two that I can’t really pick between because I equally enjoyed them both.
The first one is the round where I was a Doctor, and Day was the colony synthetic. Day, the CMO and I just sat around and talked about various topics. It was enjoyable, and really helped make what would’ve been an uneventful round into a fun one.
The second is the time I was a survivor and Ricky was the colony synthetic. He spawned as the chef synthetic and had a comically large pizza cutter. We survived until the marines arrived, then we started up a restaurant in the colony’s kitchen. We made some spaghetti, and eventually had an Italian mobster visit us to order some food. Unfortunately it was cut short by xenos swarming us, but it was fun nonetheless.
Synthetic Character Story
Experience
How familiar are you with Engineering? I would say I’m fairly experienced with Engineering. I know cading principles, how to construct and deconstruct walls, repair APCs, construct the FOB, etc. and also some more advanced-ish things like walling off unwatched flanks with reinforced walls.
I’m experienced enough to know things like stacking sandbags against the cades is a terrible idea. I’m not sure if they still block bullets, but I know for sure they make grenades bounce back.
How familiar are you with Command? I’ve got around 12 hours as Staff Officer, so I know how to operate the Overwatch consoles, and how to watch comms for any marine requests. I am by no means an expert, but I am competent enough to do basic overwatch for the marine forces. I’ve also gained sufficient enough experience to remain calm in high-stakes situations and focus on sifting through marine comms for useful information.
How familiar are you with Medical? Medical is my most developed skill in CM. I know every surgery step by heart as well as the Oxycodone + Quickclot tricks to avoid anesthetic and hemostat steps, chemline recipes (IA, IS, BM, KD, epi, cryomix, etc.), how to revive marines with high damage (600+ damage and such), and basically all aspects of Medical roles.
The only role I am not too familiar with if you include it in the Medical category is Research, but even then I know the basics of how it works (Turing Dispenser, Synthesis Simulator, etc.)
How familiar are you with Requisitions? I’m pretty familiar with Requisitions. I know what to put into supply drops (metal/plasteel/sandbags, flares, MREs, ammunition boxes, entrenching tools, bags of flashlights, signal flares, mortar + shells, etc.) I know the attachment/general/ammunition vendor contents and the locations of them in the menu pretty well. Any requests that get sent via FOB squad comms, command comms, or requisitions comms, I can fill out fairly quickly.
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example. A scenario I can perform combat in is: I am dragging a marine back to LV medical/robotics to use the surgery table to remove a larva. A lurker appears and starts attacking, I keep running and whack it when it goes in for a slash until I’m either in a safe area or it disengages. Another scenario would be during Delta alert in general (hijack/colony synthetic before marines arrive), as long as there weren't any revivable bodies/injured marines or other things that required tending such as repairing or building barricades.
