Vanja

What is your Synthetic’s Personality?

Neutral, semi-automatic voicelines like a Working Joe

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?

They would react like a radio, being a refurbished WJ, they would just do something like “Hello [PVT] [John Smith]”
Vanja, good synthetics for a fraction of the price!
Their interests would be mostly in engineering and cleaning, due to them being a refurbished working joe.

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

I don’t see synthetics often, and i absolutely love to be cyborg on other servers, which Synthetic and WJ are debatably the most similar to

What is your most memorable interaction with a synthetic?

One time when i was a CL, there was a synth named “Cecilia” and I asked them to come to my office to give me a better TV, etc. When a MT arrived later, i quickly denied the request. Some marines came in asking to watch the “diassembly of Cecilia” which i quickly ushered them out of my office for.
Quite interesting!

Synthetic Character Story:

One time, the Colonial Marines needed a cheap synthetic. One of their marines pointed to a Working Joe (#4959) and said “How about we refurbish it to be more intelligent?” Since the Colonial Marines found that to be a cheaper option then buying more specialized Synthetics, they went ahead, and named it the Vanja series. Wey-Yu picked up on the idea and began making it too shortly after.

Here’s my thoughts:

Vanja

Not really a good name. Synth names should generally sound English, American, or similar.

Personality

This isn’t really a personality, this is just how you speak.

They would react like a radio, being a refurbished WJ, they would just do something like “Hello [PVT] [John Smith]”

This reduces the amount of RP you can do massively. Additionally, refurbishing a WJ doesn’t really make sense at all.

Story

Far, far too short. Look at other applications for how long the average story is.

Skills

Incredibly non-specific. Ideally you should be a bit more in detail, and post your hours if you think it’d help. Also, putting medical at a 5/10 is a bit :confused: since medical is what you end up doing most as a synth.

Combat Section

This isn’t really anything of substance. Again, I would recommend looking at other apps to see what they talk about.

-1. I would recommend withdrawing this application. In the future, I would recommend running your app by the synth council before applying, in addition to reading approved synth apps to get a good idea of what should be in yours.

I would recommend using the WL app help for any future interest, as it would have caught the issues present. To expand upon the statement about the concept of using a WJ as a basis, the core of what makes a synthetic is not present nor possible in a WJ. They have fundamentally different structure and by extension mental architecture. The poor quality construction and computing power result in what is more appropriately termed a robot, rather than a (commercial) synthetic, whose hallmark is a mind and athleticism comparable or superior to that of humans, and durability that is inferior to that of humans. It would be prudent to familiarize yourself fully with any aspects of your character or story prior to any application submission.

Your combat answers have several rules violations. I would recommend having a conversation in discord in the application help channel or in a DM with a councilor about the combat rules if they are confusing to you.

Additionally, an MP job ban disqualifies you and will have to be appealed successfully prior to any further applications.
