Synthetic Character Story (An ADEQUATE description and story of your Synthetics actions and involvement in a previous mission onboard the Almayer):

► Show Spoiler

The Commander turned around as he heard the CIC doors open and close. The operation had been a resounding success with minimal casualties, and even some insurgent prisoners were taken in. He saw Walther walk in with his usual fast pace, halting in front of the commander.
"Commander, my duties in medbay are complete. Do you have any further orders?", Walther asked.
"Not yet, waiting for the report from Chief Engineer. How was the situation with casualties and medical?", the commander replied.
"Marine casualties were overestimated in planning. Remaining injuries are being treated by the medical staff, permanently crippled and dead marines total to four.", Walther stated calmly.
"Excellent. How about the prisoners?"
"Five out of six prisoners in need of medical attention survived with no permanent loss of function. The last one suffered blunt trauma on various bodyparts and was deemed to have died of extreme pain, due to ruptured lungs causing failure with anesthetic and moderate painkillers keeping him conscious to feel the pulp of his muscles and organs where nerves were not burned to permanently give signals of intense pain. The death took approximately thirty minutes from injury to loss of brain function.", noted Walther with chillingly dissonant serenity.
The commander grimaced a bit before replying: "Er, thank you, Walther. See that the executive gets a list of names of the dead and crippled. Military police will handle the surviving prisoners."
Walther nodded and smiled cheerfully.
The commander frowned: "Engineering is taking its time with the report. Go see what's taking so long and help if necessary.", he said while turning to his monitors.
Walther nodded, turned, and left in a brisk pace.

Arriving to Engineering, Walther found the Chief Engineer fiddling with upper deck power storage: Noticing movement, he was startled until realizing who his visitor was.
"Oh, just you. It gets a bit quiet here at times.", he said. "This about the report CO asked? It's coming as soon as my tech is done with the reactors. Speaking of which, he should've reported in by now..."
The Chief Engineer pressed a few more buttons and headed for the ladder, Walther in tow.
"Tom, what the hell is taking so long? Come in!"
Engineering radio channel was quiet in response.
Walking towards the airlock, the Chief Engineer muttered on about lazy techs and the good old times. Then he opened the reactor room airlock, and the limp body of the technician fell on top of his feet.
Immediately, Walther knelt down and noticed he was still breathing.
"No obvious damage, possible radiation, tissue damage and organ failure may already be setting in. Need immediate treatment.", said Walther in slightly more rapid monotone than usual while dragging the unfortunate technician out of the chamber.
"Medical, one casualty, engineering, possible severe radiation poisoning. Administering first aid here, insufficient treatment supplies. Send a doctor.", Walther duly stated into his headset. The Chief Engineer had realized the need for the medkit and left to pick it up and returned as Walther finished his request to medical.
"How bad?", the Chief Engineer asked.
"Unsure.", replied Walther, starting a scan on the technician while the Chief Engineering looked over his shoulder.
The scan finished with a ping. Walther frowned: "Bad."

How do you intend to play your Synth (as in, describe HOW you will act/play your Synth and what support roles you’ll mainly focus on, what is your synthetics quirk)?
My intentions for Walther are to play mostly Medical as primary and Engineering as secondary supports. For acting/quirk, Walther will have a tendency to bring up the fragility/mortality of humans more often than necessary, in uncomfortable ways ("I recommend using a radiation suit while working with the Reactors. An error with the system could result in gruesome death by radiation poisoning over the course of several agonizing days of organ failure."). I also plan on talking briefly unless required, and occasionally interjecting into discussions with said morbid comments.

How familiar are you with support roles? (ie; Medical, MT, Science, SO)
Support is my most played role, with least played out of the 4 mentioned being Science.

Why should we whitelist you?
I believe I would make a decent synth at worst. Synths are also fantastic in the low-pop timezones I frequent and not too common there.

Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason (we will check, and lies may result in immediate denial)?
Not in the last month. One appealed CMO ban from earlier this year, appeal passed a month ago.

Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why?
No.

Do you understand that any player - donor or otherwise - can have their whitelist status revoked should they break our rules or the Synthetic Programming Guideline?
That's the reason for the whitelist system, so, yes.

What's your take on the synthetic guidelines, and how should a synthetic act?

[MattAtlas]

If your CO tells you to "stop creeping people out with your quirk", what do you do?

[Madventurer]

What's your take on the synthetic guidelines, and how should a synthetic act?

My take on synthetic guidelines is that they're to be followed and guide on how synths should be played, assuming that's what you mean with your question. Synthetic should of course maintain professionalism at all times regardless of situation, strive to be their best help to the corps while maintaining compliance to the limits listed in guidelines, such as the marine law.

If your CO tells you to "stop creeping people out with your quirk", what do you do?

I would start by acting confused, unsure on what to understand of such an order on base personality. Then I would struggle to suppress the need to express the quirk. After all, it is a core part of each synthetic.
Long-term result would be talking in short, impersonal lines and generally being cold and distant. I feel this would be an appropriate response to such an order, as removing part of the personality would have a negative effect on the personality in general.

That was mostly my way of asking you what are the synthetic guidelines in your own words. You will need to follow them as a synthetic, but I would just like to see your understanding of it.

Excellent app, and a good player too.

+1

[Jakkkk]

Not gonna leave a definite +1 or -1, the application is extremely average. That's it, average. Nothing about this application impresses me or interests me, it just seems very mundane. No offense to you personally.

Also, why is your only +1 from a guy with only 1 post?

[Sleepy Retard]

A huge problem with this application is that, like, it's worded really

really


really fucking poorly

"I believe I would make a decent synth at worst."
"For acting/quirk, Walther will have a tendency to bring up the fragility/mortality of humans more often than necessary, in uncomfortable ways"

i wont give my rating yet, but tbh chief this aint it so far. its just a really average app, and the only reason you've really given to whitelist you is to make low pop slighty better

[MattAtlas]

I'm gonna sit on a solid neutral for now. Nothing really... impresses me, so to speak. I've seen you in game but you've never stuck out much.

I'll see if you get more feedback, but for now I don't feel inclined to -1 or +1 this app.

[VortexGaming]

Alright so 2/5 of the Synth council are on neutral and 3/5 have voiced their opinion's yet, The app isnt bad but it isnt exactly "good" either as said its just pretty noticeable about it so im going to try and break the ice on this one.
In the middle of a mutiny you see a Dead MP and a dead PFC earlier the PFC was kind enough to give you a pocket knife when you deployed for protection, Who do you treat first.

You are treating a marine and a medic pop's in and starts treating him and ending up OD'ing him. What do you do.

A predator tells you to attack a Xenomorph to prove yourself worthy to him. What do you do?

(these are all problems I have faced in my time as synth and I would like to see your answers to them and they will sway the balance between -1 or +1 for me)

[ThesoldierLLJK]

I'm kinda neutral but waiting to see your answers to vortex before giving my Bennett seal of approval/disapproval

[Madventurer]

The Military Police: They uphold the Marine Law which synthetics are programmed to obey without exception, so this is the logical course of action.
The fact that the PFC gave me a pocket knife doesn't have much bearing, as a synth may feel thankful for it, but won't let the emotions affect the judgement.
Furthermore, Military Police are fewer than Privates, not to mention higher ranked, so thus are more important for the continued operations of the vessel.

Of course, I will revive and stabilize both instead of prioritizing having one in top health, and everything I said above is ignored if I know that either of them died a rather long time ago and may become unreviveable soon.

You are treating a marine and a medic pop's in and starts treating him and ending up OD'ing him. What do you do.

I would advise the medic to cease and focus on other patients, as he made a rather notable mistake. Assuming he complies, dealing with the OD would be doable and the next course of action.
If the medic keeps attempting to treat, I would shift my priorities to anything that doesn't involve adding further chemicals, as that would be a poor choice when someone is already doing it.
If the treatment from the medic is an utter failure and the medic hostile and uncooperative, it would be my duty to help the injured marine and ensure he gets proper treatment, by subduing but NOT harming the medic. This would be preceded by many verbal warnings about his course of action being harmful.

A predator tells you to attack a Xenomorph to prove yourself worthy to him. What do you do?

Ignore him. There is no reason whatsoever to do as he says.
In the unlikely scenario of him attacking me after this, I would defend myself to the best of my ability while attempting to disengage or end the fight, assuming I don't need to stay where I am for a pressing reason.

Alright, two and three are good, but 1 is worded REALLY fucking poorly as you say "As a synth may feel thankful for it, but won't let the emotions affect the judgment" kinda is shooting yourself in the FOOT. Synths don't have emotions. Also you say you would treat both but who would you prioritize because you can only revive one at a time.

[Jakkkk]

Yeah I'm not going to encourage bare minimum, extremely average applications.

-1.

[Sleepy Retard]

just this

The synthetic guidelines explicitly mentioned that synthetics have emotions, if only simulated ones. Unless you count that they suddenly changed to not mention anything about it.
My answer also includes the priority, at the very start.

" Though they are able to show emotions such as fear, sadness, and anger, these are only on the surface and never affect the decision-making process. "

Showing emotions =/= having them

The only thing I have left to say on this is that during ingame roleplay, the difference is mostly semantic definition and the exact wording may have come out wrong.

That's fine. Semantics doesn't make your application anything more or less than average, so you can pretty much just ignore Vortex on this.

[MattAtlas]

-1.

Yeah afraid I'm gonna have to echo Jakkkk on this one. Gonna switch my vote to -1. I'm sure you can do better next time if you can get a better quirk going, however.

Aight so ", as a synth may feel thankful for it, but won't let the emotions affect the judgment." you say that as if the synthetic actually has emotions, They only replicate it. The wording is key as a synthetic as they are primarily a communication-based role when roleplaying. "Of course, I will revive and stabilize both instead of prioritizing having one in top health, and everything I said above is ignored if I know that either of them died a rather long time ago and may become unreviveable soon." At first it leads you to believe you would treat the MP first but then you say this. You have very poor wording for things in General. -1 chief Sorry bud
