Here’s an example : I just had an annoying fight with my family, then I get on to chill out for a bit, if something provokes me, I might get annoyed. But I’ll try my best to avoid full conflict. At least on Synth and Joe. But I can definitely forgive, and apologize if it goes too far.
So, it appears the story is still not accessible.
I guess it’s the link that is the issue. Maybe try this one?
I apologize, I haven’t got much sleep lately. I really lacked on the story too sadly…
It works and my god sir. That is good formatting.
Thank you, but I reckon I won’t be the best.
Assuming your stated skills match your in-game performance I don’t see a issue with your skills. I’ll have to keep an eye out in-game for you.
Your story is good but I do detect quite a few grammatical issues. If these issues pop up during a story with unlimited prep time, how well are you going to communicate in-game when under a lot of pressure?
I do have an issue regarding your name and traits. Foxton does not feel like an appropriate name for a UA/USCM Synthetic to be using, a synths name should not be something a person performs a double take when they hear it from an American/English perspective. Foxton stands out too much.
Secondly, I’m concerned with your synths personality. Mainly their “mood problem”. Anger is not a trait I’d ever associated with a standard USCM synthetic, and the concept of an “outdated moral capacity” opens up question on what that even means? Does this mean your synth will hold some outdated cultural values or express very unusual opinions?
A synth is meant to blend in, not stand out.
When it comes to my story, I apologize for the grammar issues, I may have somehow overlooked them, even when google docs autocorrects you. I assume my grammar under pressure might have a letter in the wrong area, but I know my way around the keyboard, and can type fast enough to speak when I can about something. Hopefully fast enough.
I can change the name to something more american simplified, like maybe… Wesley? Maybe Fred? Clould just copy my human name, Freddy.
And of course, I didn’t mean the Synth has an anger issue, I mostly meant myself. I meant to say I’d be as calm as I can be with my Synth. I may peak a bit here and there, but I won’t break character. After all, I learned for the better.
He’s not a very talkative synthetic, unless it’s to talk tactically. Or helpfully. Either way, he’s as social as he is good at his job.
This line got a laugh out of me.
I haven’t seen you ingame so I can’t provide feedback for your conduct ingame.
Your story was pretty unique. I’ve seen some recording log stories before, but the graphic for this one was pretty neat. My biggest gripe with it was the lack of dialogue. You put your synth in some good conversations to show dialogue with marines, but end them pretty abruptly. Like when Foxton is taking care of the wounded marine, are they still conscious? Would they ask Foxton how bad it is, or some other question? The dialogue in a story can sell us on a quirk by showing us how you’d perform it.
You put some effort into this and it shows, but could have used a bit more direction. The whitelist help channel in the discord is a great place to get some tips and proofreaders when drafting something like this up.
I’m not willing to +1 or -1 this but I’ll toss you some questions so you‘ve got something to post about.
How do combat restrictions change for a synthetic post hijack?
What are the names or acronyms of the three major nations in space?
When can a synthetic engage in marine law enforcement?
You are treating critically wounded in medbay. The Captain approaches you and orders you to clean the hanger. What do you do?
I apologise about the lack of direction, and specification in my story. I have tried pretty hard on this one since my last attempt, and I was tired while making the story.
Onto the questions, however.
During a “hijack”, due to Synth Programming and Guidelines Combat section, second paragraph. It states Synths can respond by apprehension, and or even lethal actions if they’re a hostile, or alien race. However this should only really take action if it’s self preservation, or Marine protection when there is no other people around to assist. As is always stuck in my head, Designed for peace, but ready for war.
I assume you mean the Factions? If not, I apologise. And if I’m wrong, I tried. I read the Wiki over and over, and so far the major “nations” woild be Weyland Yutani, UPP, and CLF. Again, this is a guess since I didn’t get what you meant.
And for Law Enforcement if, for example some marine attacks an innocent, or attacks me, I would be allowed to apprehend the said marine non-lethally, and only non-lethally until MP have arrived to take the situation on their hands.
If there are no doctors on hand, I will momentarily deny the request and treat them to a nominal condition to then do the requested job. If there are doctors on hand, then I will accept the job ONLY after stabilizing the patient for other doctors to tend to.
And, after all of that I thank you for hour honesty. I hope I finally once and for all complete this. Thank you either way.
Can’t fault you on this answer. Combat restrictions are lessened in a post hijack scenario or any other scenario with the probability of preventable massive marine losses. This part of the programming guidelines hasn’t been moved from the old forms.
The three nations:
The United Americas (North and South America)
Union of Progressive Peoples (Russia, China)
Three World Empire (United Kingdom, Japan, India, Indonesia, Australia)

In marine law the CO can deputize a synthetic to make arrests.
Haii, So i can vouch for this player for levels of skill.
I take note of players who can handle mass casualties without panic, you also seem to have a pretty strong footing on Building and cade theory though I do tend to see you do designs that are not to my taste, Which is just my personal preference.
I will remain neutral as I am yet to see your capabilities to Role-play, I wish you the best of luck on your WL <3
Do not name synths after your characters, or your in game name, or your fetish, or whatever being a furry is to you. Leave that shit at the door.
Why would the USCM purchase a synthetic that bitches and moans at marines, or is otherwise hostile towards them? That is damaging to morale and would harm the trust that humans have to develop with synthetic humans. Do you like working with a coworker who is angry or short tempered?
You should come up with a new name, and brainstorm ways to change your synths personality to make it less hostile.

I never said that i couldn’t keep my own hostility to myself. I have self control, it was just something I said when I was honestly just trying to find ways to extend my sentences. That was mostly for myself, and not the Synth. I have the issues with anger, but obviously I won’t show it on my Synth.
There’s no need to be rude, my last name was Foxton. It wasn’t because I was a “furry”, maybe you should be a little leanient before you mildly accuse.
Hello!
I will admit c4x could have kept the assumptions to himself but they are correct following the concerns of how your synthetic would act and the chosen name.
With the name, the purpose of Synthetics is to blend in with their surroundings. You see marines named “John, Steve, Bailey, etc” but “Foxton” is a name that sticks out and sounds too snowflakey if that makes sense.
There is also the issue you keep stating “you get anger issues outside of CM.” This is a video game and should be treated as such. The anger issues as a personality for a Synthetic is a hard NO. That is unacceptable to have. If you are really going through problems in your life that causes anger which reflect into the game, maybe you should handle those issues. Synth is a very stressful role to play and at times there will be frustrating scenarios you would run into.
Due to the overall responses made and your Synthetic character’s personality, I cannot support this application. If this app does become denied, I suggest getting yourself known in a better light and if you plan to reapply, reach out to the whitelist’s councilors because I cannot stress this enough. We are here to help you be successful but you need to take the appropriate steps to become successful.

The reason I said that no longer applies anymore, as I said countless times in the replies, I sincerely will not show any anger, or hostility to anyone as a Synth. I will play a different job if I want to calm down or get it off. I will once again say, I can change the name. To something like Freddy, or maybe something more average. Fred, just say which one is good. I have no bias position on names. And the personality was a misunderstanding. I was trying to say how I have slight issues with anger, but I will NOT have any hostility towards anyone. This is the only attempt on this application that I really tried on. I apologise for the word use, but I meant to say I WILL NOT be angry on synth, it was just a Precaution.
I wish not to stress this enough, I would not have wasted my time on this application if I wanted to throw it away with my anger. I will manage myself while I am Synth, and will be as friendly as I can. Honest.
I would have editted it, but I didn’t know if I could, I messed up by mixing up the categories.
Hi GooglyFox! Thank you for your interest in the Synthetic Whitelist.
We really like the enthusiasm and spirit you bring with pursuing the WL, however we had multiple concerns which I’ll bring up and also give you some pointers:
- The personality listed here(particularly the mood trait) may cause abrasive issues in the USCM which would be unacceptable at worst and a grey area at best. Furthermore there is some ‘fluff’ or rather unnecessary parts of your personality such as the ‘works harder’ or ‘forgetful’ part - in this case it is better to have a clear and concise personality - something you can do ingame, incorporate into dialogue, and that you have fun with.
- The story, while positively remarked, did not include a lot of dialogue from Foxton where we could see your personality being demonstrated in terms of speech. It may benefit you to include more dialogue, more situations, or otherwise add more to your story. There were also grammatical errors at times.
- The name Foxton is legitimate on contrary to what others have said, however like some of my councilors have also stated it is definitely something that pops out. After all, the USCM is from the UA which is more American than English. The name overall is not a large issue - it’s difficult to find someone named Foxton but not impossible. You should consider changing this to avoid any complications in the future.
- Your answers to some the questions asked would count as unsatisfactory, but they are nuanced.
- Your experience answers look good, feel free to elaborate more though.
- Your combat answer is mostly correct, we felt it showed a bit of uncertainty in over-limiting your combat restrictions, but it has the proper spirit.
Overall, outside of your Synthetic’s personality concerns we felt that your time in relevant roles such as doctor, corpsman, comtech were limited. In the future if you play these roles more it would help with vouching, vetting and also observations. Unfortunately this app is denied(you can reapply in 30 days) but I hope that you have sufficient feedback to work on things. Keep that energy up and I think you will definitely be a Synthetic in the future. Best of luck
