Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you?
As a player with extensive understanding of 13 space station mechanics in colonial marines, I bring advanced technical capabilities to the crew. My proficiency in hacking, repairing, and utilizing technology can be invaluable during critical situations, enhancing our ability to overcome challenges and fulfill objectives in new creative manners helping keep the game fresh for players and collaborate and the marines with command to see their plans come into practice, wether it’s coordinating with combat technicians or supporting medical staff with field surgery.
Being a synthetic opens up unique roleplaying opportunities. I can explore the challenges of navigating social dynamics as a non-human entity and showcase the ethical considerations surrounding artificial intelligence and human interactions. And especially when it comes to non-human diplomacy like with the production of the corrupted hive or interacting with different hives of Xenos to form temporary alliances.
Also being a Cyberdyne Synthetic collaborating with the Three World Empire and the CO doves to aid in the more humanitarian branch of the marine core can help offset some of the brutal nature often found in the standard rounds being a uplifting figure.
What is your most memorable interaction with a synthetic?
A rogue synthetic that was part of experiment where it was convinced it was human unit was found on the colony and brought onboard the Almayer with the marines unaware it was a synthetic. It proceeded to be hunted down by marines with W-Y wanting it captured by convincing command and the marines that it was a threat. But I found them first in the maintenance shafts and talked with the synth about their situation and I appreciated how distressed they seemed talking about their troubled past and how convinced they made their character seem that they were human and did not want to be captured.
Synthetic Character Story:
Skills:
Engineering:
I have extensive knowledge and can repair and deconstruct everything from memory from machinery, reinforced walls and have had ample time to fine tune FOB construction and create advantageous sightlines for marines to fire from behind appropriately upgraded cover.
Command:
I understand how to make announcements, operate an overwatch console for supply drops, leader changes and direct messages, coordinate with officers and departments, make multi-channel radio calls and create tactical maps.
Medical:
I know every surgery from memory using surgical tools and makeshift tools and chemical recipes including how to mix them from raw chemicals in a pinch when groundside. I can create and enhance medical robots and understand how to efficiently revive a human and recognize organ damage without a scanner, can also check their status. Reasonably proficient at research and creating custom chemical mixes from botany or from a chem lab.
Requisitions:
I know the most frequently ordered items and can effectively set up a self-service system for operating req lines with minimal staff and set up great fob supply crates. I know the location of most of the supplies onboard the Almayer and how to effectively utilise the different pads to keep the correct supplies flowing to where the marines most need them and keep the budget looking healthy by properly processing the ASRS supplies and stamping the receipts. I can also setup neat and organised supplies for ease of access for marine on the Almayer and on deployed missions.
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example.
Self-Defense against Hostile Creatures:
Scenario: Boonie is patrolling a colony perimeter when hostile creatures, not covered by Marine Law (e.g., xenomorphs or CLF members), pose a threat to nearby humans.
Action: Boonie engages the creatures to subdue or eliminate the threat, ensuring the safety of nearby humans protected by marine law and defending colony infrastructure.
Emergency Response during Code Delta/Hijack:
Scenario: The Almayer is under attack, and the ship is in Code Delta. Boonie’s combat restrictions are revoked, and the primary objective is to protect the lives of marines and ensure their survival.
Action: Boonie actively participates in shipside combat, pursuing and eliminating threats to marine personnel, assisting in evacuation, providing medical support, and building defenses.
Neutral Stance in Mutinies:
Scenario: A mutiny breaks out among the marine personnel, and Boonie decides to stay neutral, acting as a medic for both sides.
Action: Boonie uses non-lethal tactics to subdue mutineers attempting to breach the CIC utilising Surplus Military Policing equipment such as flashbangs, tasers, pepper spray grenades and handcuffs, maintaining a focus on keeping the Commander and their staff safe without turning into a force of mass destruction.
It’s essential for Boonie to exercise judgment in combat scenarios, avoiding unnecessary aggression and adhering to the overarching synthetic rules and programming. Boonie’s combat actions will always align with the preservation of human life, adherence to Marine Law, and the well-being of the colony and when the opportunity is available will attempt to keep the peace and act in favour of diplomacy.
