Synthetic Info:

Name of the Synth Character you wish to play:

Athena

What is your Synthetic’s Personality?

Athena personality is Neutral-Friendly and caring, Interested in human behaviours and preserving life.
Always observing and trying to understand, calming and comforting those in distress situations.

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?

Regardless of rank or anything, Athena will adress anyone with respect and formality.
Often engaging in conversations, interest on other’s lifes, preocupations and feelings, their own goals or how they would approach a situation.
Always listening and learning from others. But she will be specially interested in medical topics.

Athena, your ultimate solution to every problem— as long as your head’s still attached to your body, there’s nothing she can’t fix!

Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you?

Always been interested on being a Synthetic, The mix of Roleplaying as one, with the opportunity for a different gameplay experience always sparked my attention.
I’m usually a support player, and I think their gameplay is rather unique, capable of being a jack of all trades while having their own different mechanics.

What is your most memorable interaction with a synthetic?

There is quite a few! But specifically, there was a round in Solaris Ridge, Cecelia at the time, had provided medical aid and engaged in conversations multiple times with me that round, sadly on one of the last fights, i got hugged after shooting a rocket, that rocket denied the Xenomorphs from advancing and preventing an acider for exploding at the current front. Allowing marines to push and finish them off. Sadly, i got dragged away by a runner, the runner ended being the last remaining Xenomorph. Since the hive fell apart, it was moving me from one edge of the map to another, holding me hostage untill the moment i burst. Cecelia took notice in comms, following my radio messages and tracking my location, comforting me and attempting to find me, and well dam she did. She came prepared, with marines by her side, they killed the runner, grabbed me, and immediatly rushed me to the groundside medical area, performing quick surgery to remove the embryo right before it bursted, saving my life.

Synthetic Character Story:

I must say, I’m not one of the best at writting whole stories, and a bit of the story is also to get background story about other characters that i wanted to be linked with the Synthetic unit in a meaningful way. So i apologize for the cringey of my story writting in advance!

https://1drv.ms/w/s!AuZ3MqEOKxcRrVW_X2TTfeTSVbbs?e=We5DAC

Skills:

Engineering:

Very familiar, I have played a fair amount of Comtech, MT and other roles with engineering skills. I know how to cade, manage resources, build or fix pretty much anything, APC’s, machines, doors, you name it.

Command:

Quite Familiar, I know how to use any console, manage overwatch, supply drops, OB’s, the bubble, transfering people or granting/modifying access, anything really.

Medical:

Extremely familiar, as a support player Medical is one of my favorite roles. CMO, Doctor, Corpsman. You name it. I love chemistry, i know all surgery procedures, how to get people fixed nicely and fast as possible, and have no issue at all handling myself in Research.

Requisitions:

Extremely familiar, after medical, this is one of my most played roles. I can perfectly operate Requesitions alone, Man the line fast, prepare supply drops, communicate with the squads, excellent budget management, and often preparing extra stuff on my own initiative. Spare guns, organize and label spare supplies and kits that were left on stock, you name it, its on the fob!

What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example.

In self-defense or defense of others when the situation requires it.

For example, if i’m alone i would look to disengage and find the nearest aid, but if someone is being pounced/dragged off or attacked and there is no one able to help i would try to shake them or scare the threat attempting to recover them, but never chasing or puting myself in unnecessary danger alone.

Another example would be performing medical aid on the backline, if there are no marines nearby and a Xeno is trying to engage any unconscious personnel to ensure the defense of such, but not chasing the threat outside of merely defense. Trying to scare the threat off and get someone to help and/or relocate the patient if needed into a safer area.

In the case of being engaged by an hostile party or faction, such CLF, UPP, Etc, The marine laws dont apply to them so i can subdue them if needed, but i shouldn’t be looking to actively engage them.

In the case of someone engaging me, or others, that conflicts with Marine Law, for example a marine opening fire on myself or other marines, i can subdue them non-lethaly to protect myself or others.

Final Info:

Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason? Do you have any active jobbans?

Nope, my only ban was a short-temporary EORG ban back in January. That you can read about here: EMiiX - Staff Report: Enforcement Action Taken - Steelpoint

Are you currently banned from our Discord?

Nope

Let us know why you were discord banned.

Not banned.

Do you have anything else you would like to include about your application?

My current playtimes as reference,

And thanks for taking your time to read it, and i will take any feedback words to improve in the future!
Stay hydrated!

i am an OG requisitions officer main and your hours are staggering, honestly i would deny this app so you dont spend more time in this game but that isn’t the point.

my only hinch is really that your synth acts a little too human in the story? it being affected by the death of Rose (whoops spoilers) sounds like something a human would do, i would try keeping it more of a “this person’s death is now going into my databanks so that the variables involved do not replicate themselves to further save lives” in other words, instead of treating rose as a person they met athena should see it as a subject, a human another dot in the stars that fills up the millions of statistics that are in that synth brain of theirs

again just me yapping no one needs to listen to my boomer ass, you show clear commitment for the game, so please take the WL and have fun

Finally, about time you apply for synthetic!
Hello hello I came by to drop my piece and peace out.

First of all, I think your personality is quite decent, as it was highly highlithed by your story, more on that in a moment!
I’m sadly having trouble knowing what Athena’s quirk is, however, even after reading the story, as I haven’t really seen you show it off in the story, so may I ask what your quirk is for your synth and if I somehow missed it while reading the story.

Overall, I love your story!
It’s well written, and the plot and characters are so good!

Moving on to your skill answers, which all in all seem decent and explain all that needs to be explained.

Your combat answer is accurate; however, I have one note that you forgot to add: what would you do if you were on the frontline?
Overall, I think your app is pretty good, and you stand a mighty chance of getting synth!
You just need a few things cleared up, and you will be alright!

Lastly, I would like to wrap it up with MY greatest moment with you as a synth hehe.

Holy fucking shit 2.5K hours spread across literally every human role imaginable, get my man into the synth WL right fucking now

Good mentor (definitely didn’t just say that because you answered one of my mhelps 12 hours ago), and an enjoyable person to play and interact with in-game.

High confidence in competence and ability to adhere to a solid character.

Heya! It’s itended as more of a reflecting point, as in, trying to think about human behaviour and what they would had done, reflecting on what they used to know about that person, if they would be happy or proud with their work, and are keeping that promise, or otherwise Rose would had done something different. Not intended as a display of emotions, but as a reflection of both and her interest in such. (Sorry if it wasn’t very clear in that regard)

I wasn’t really going for anything out of the norm for a quirk, besides a formal yet friendly and caring personality

If i were to be at the frontline, i would prioritise medical aid or moving marines to safer areas if required, and support tasks, as i shouldn’t be engage in combat at the frontline, but rather leave that to the marines, aswell as that being a bigger threat to my safety and self-preservation laws

And gosh! You still have that clip from when i played groundside MT as we tried to push for comms? I had no gun! Don’t shame me like that :rofl:

I can honestly find no fault with Emiix at all apart from the fact ive barely been able to have a full conversation with them due to either

Myself being deployed and them being the CMP

Them being deployed and me being ASO.

Massive +1 without a doubt, while I havn’t rpd with Emiix, I know they are fully capable

Quirk sucks, player is goated with the sauce +1 you’ll figure out how to make your quirk stand out and not be John synth.

Interacted with and seen Emiix Aegadan multiple times throughout my adventures on CM. They understand the concept of roleplay perfectly fine and have been spotted playing a wide variety of roles that require a vast array of mechanical knowledge. Also having plat medal SEA/MP while having held server mentor for over a year now shows they clearly have a good understanding of Marine Law and rules of the server. I’m sure they will be a fine addition to the synth whitelist. Cute story btw.

Hello Emiix.

I’ve looked over your application and this is my overall view of it.

I don’t doubt your support competency you’ve played the game for a long time so I doubt there’ll be any issues there. Maybe focus on engineering, specifically comtech gameplay.

For the other half, your synthetic character. There’s nothing unique/interesting/makes them stand out. They sound generic, especially with “neutral friendly” and “preserving life”. Those are just synthetic standards, an expectancy. Not a personality.

The story is good to read but I was more focused on the character, Rose, rather than Athena. Rose was way more interesting than Athena and your Synthetic story should have focused more on your Synthetic. It doesnt help after scrolling 1/3 of the document (on mobile) I finally find Athena and they only say one line of dialogue then I had to keep scrolling to focus on Athena.

You have the capability of obtaining the Synthetic WL but you should have developed “Athena” more than what is shown.
I cannot support this app -1

I suggest abusing WL app help because I try to keep telling everyone. We, any council, any whitelist, are willing to help and want applicants to be successful but we can’t help if nothing is questioned or asked.

yeah the synth personality is cookie cutter as fuck but i wouldn’t -1 the app just for that i think they’ll find their spot soon when they get the whitelist

Part of the reason is that i didn’t wanted them to “stand out” that much, and it may sound bit generic indeed, as some of the things can come as expected perhaps from a synth.

I asked few more closer friends for some feedback on the story itself, wich i ended up modifying few things before deciding to post it, but i understand i got a lot to improve about my story-writting skills, i’m more of a RP’ on the spot rather than making up/writting whole stories, but i did wanted to try my fair chance at it on my own, thus the reason i didn’t ask the WL Council, and just try my own shot at it.

I value my own sense of achievement when i do things on my own, even if sometimes it comes out as a failure, and learn from it.

Nevertheless, thanks for the feedback both from you and other people. Will try to improve it in the future and focus on the key important parts.

Personally, emiix seems to be in every round i have the chance to join, constantly bouncing from one demanding roles and positions to the next. Be it CMO, CMP, XO or spec to name a few, i’ve never hand a bad experience with them.
whenever i see pink i know that at least someone can be relied on.

an easy +1

Emiix is an extremely skilled support player. They have outstanding role-play chops, an incredible mechanical understanding of the game, and a solid story. They consistently find the time to incorporate RP into rounds, no matter what role they are playing

I think they would thrive as Athena! A massive +1 from me

3 Likes

My only concern here is your Synths personality, as it is generic- I recommend talking to council about how you would make your synth shine if you do get the WL.

I like you as a player and I do fully hope you get the WL, so its a +1 from me, I just would like to see how you would flair up your synth in game

Good luck!

Great player, awesome mentor, very skilled and good at RP. Never had a bad interaction with emiix. I wanna say that even outside of CM she still very much a very good, and approachable person. I feel she is ready for synth WL. You might need to work on your synth personality, but I trust you will have it all sorted. +1 from me all the way!
