Synthetic Info:

John

What is your Synthetic’s Personality?

He is kind to others, and does his job no matter the circumstances, never wavering even under immense pressure from the higher ups, he is loyal to the crew above all else and will even go into harms way to protect humans, he speaks sort of like confirmation boxes on computers, like “Would you like to ____ too?”

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?

Joseph Is a top of the line synthetic, sure to do anything you tell him to, be nice about it, and never give up! Based off the early 21st century working class male, he works hard, and doesn’t stop doing so.

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

I’d just like to help others out without really being forced to do combat, but at the same time be special in the way that there aren’t too many synthetics at any given time, I also like the fact that anyone can ask a synthetic for a favor, and I could really end up doing any random odd job, and if I die, they could just put me back together.

What is your most memorable interaction with a synthetic?

To be frank, I’m not sure I’ve had one before

Synthetic Character Story:

Onboard the Almayer, marines are deployed on Solaris ridge, Joseph awaits orders, patrolling the halls and observing the crewmen as they go about their day, the pilot of the Normandy comes up to him, and says “Go install rattlers onto the externa weapons mounts of the Normandy, I’ll be back in a few minutes, have it done by then” Joseph replies with “Yes sir, I will do just that, don’t worry I’ll have it done before you arrive” He salutes and continues walking towards the Normandy, heading over to the power loader and entering it, he moves it over and grabs the guns, installing them left then right, then he exits, and waits, as soon as the pilot arrives, he walks over to him “Sir, the GAU-21 30mm cannons have been installed, would you like me to load them too?” then the pilot replies “Sure go ahead” and immediately he jumps into action, quickly entering the power loader, grabbing ammunition and loading them, exiting the loader, and speaking to the pilot “Sir, it is loaded and ready to go” The pilot replies with “Alright, you’re gonna do the same next time round, got it?” Before Joseph replies “Yes sir, I shall do it as many times as I must” The Normandy then takes off and flies away, Joseph watching as it flies into the inky darkness (This was terrible I know)

A Story is usually at least two pages of you writing out a scenario and dialogue to show how your character would speak. It exists to illustrate if you can consistently write quality dialogue that would be in-character for the character you created. This is true of all three WLs.

There’s a lot of other problems people will likely get to, but in good faith I suggest you look at other approved applications for this WL. While standards have changed, you will likely be able to see the difference in overall wordage or clarity provided in those apps versus your own. You can also look at denied applications as a metric to measure what pitfalls exist for you to avoid.

If you would like to get direct help with the application process, the discord is where to find it. The Councilors on the discord are available for Direct Message for ideas or editing. My advice is to get at least one councilor to say, “this by the app alone does not have anything wrong with it” before sending it out to public judgment. In Addition, do not apply with the intention of receiving feedback. Apply with confidence you will be accepted. Feedback on your RP and gameplay is best garnered before the race to the finish, not during.

I wish you luck in the wars to come.

Hi, I’m reaching out to suggest you withdraw your application - even without you posting your hours or anything else as of now or experience observation, it isn’t up to standards.

Your synthetics personality isn’t really a personality. It doesn’t detail what they’d talk about or how they act, and the story is much the same; it just details things happening to them rather than them actually talking or expressing a character.

If you need help with your story or, coming up with ideas, I would also suggest reaching out to myself or the other synthetic councillors in discord via the whitelist-app-help channel and getting your story to be looked over and your personality idea to be looked over.
