Natalie Holerman
What whitelist applications have you previously completed?
I’ve had synthetic whitelist in the past, several years ago.
Synthetic Info:
Name of the Synth Character you wish to play:
Sarah
What is your Synthetic’s Personality?
Sarah is odd. She will make odd jokes at odd times, as if her personality hasn’t caught up with the current situation. Part of this is that Sarah is a bit matter of fact, stating the obvious, and at times it can be difficult to tell if she is trying to make a joke or not.
How will they react to the different ranks of the USCM, what would they talk about in a one on one conversation? What are their interests? What is an advertisement logline that could be written for them?
Sarah is an older model focused on research of biological substances, and is often put on field operations to study and compile reports.
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you?
I had synthetic whitelist in the past, and lost it due to lack of playing. I’d like to play it again, especially synth survivor, which I do really enjoy.
What is your most memorable interaction with a synthetic?
I tend to have favorable memories when synthetics are assigned to specific squads, not just as an overarching support unit - it has allowed me to get to know players on a more personal level, and helps with communication, as you are not balancing 20 different radio channels.
Synthetic Character Story:
A fairly memorable round I have had was back on ice colony, several years ago. Back then, the cold was bitter and inhospitable, and humans without coifs would quickly freeze - this limited groundside medical operations. As a synthetic, I analyzed the situation and materials. An often overlooked asset are the inflatable barriers, as they block air flow. I created a room out of them and filled it with heaters, which raised the overall temperature of the room, allowing for marines to take coifs off. This allowed for groundside surgeries. Later in that operation, I was left behind with a squad of marines at the comms relay. We were unable to evacuate, and the Alamo had left. This was a dire situation for which I did not panic. Synthetics do not panic. I had a medevac bed, and informed command to run medevac missions - using this, I was able to evac the few marines left with me. This did result in my demise, but lives were saved and information was gathered. As a synthetic, we are more durable. We cannot fight, that is not our role, but we can use our robust frames to shield fragile humans.
Skills:
Engineering:
Very familiar.
Command:
Familiar with old command, but I am willing to pick up on anything I may be missing.
Medical:
Very familiar.
Requisitions:
Familiar with older systems, but basic concepts should still be adequate.
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example.
You can use combat as a last resort - to protect a patient you are actively treating, to fend off an attacker when building a barricade. You should not engage willingly, but only as a last resort, to protect your self or those physically closest to you.
