Synthetic Info:
Name of the Synth Character you wish to play:
Amelia
What is your Synthetic’s Personality?
Amelia is an old model, designed for humanitarian relief and disaster response!
Inspired strongly off of the historic lady pioneer and aviator, Amelia Earhart, Amelia is a synthetic who often finds herself deployed to provide relief to victims of natural disasters, and on the rare occasion conflict!
Despite the high-stress nature of the crises she finds herself in, and the compassion that the victims would surely benefit from, Amelia strikes a slightly off-putting chord. She is very direct and sharp, realistic about what must be done and objective-oriented. This does not prevent her from sharing optimism with the people she works with, however, as she thinks more about the goal and what it can achieve, how assured people are to complete what they must do so as to provide safety for others.
To put it in less complicated terms, she is very task-driven, and only when safety is generally restored does she have a moment to resume her high levels of optimism and small amount of cheer.
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?
Rank will determine the circles and occupations and skills of the people with whom she will speak, such as a Major being familiar with many commissioned officers and the internal politics between them, whereas a PFC would likely be more focused on squad cohesion and the friends they have amongst the personnel. The former would naturally be concerned with operational efficiency and logistics, and the latter would have a smaller scope on squad objectives and equipment.
All of this is to say that essentially it will depend on the scope of the rank! Amelia, however, is a civilian design and presents quite a wealth of respect and reverence for the military personnel she would interact with.
Amelia’s interests are with meteorology, as it lends itself well to her aviator identity and the crises her design was made for, such as hurricanes! Should she find herself as the pilot of the dropship, for instance,
If I had to give her an advertisement, try “Amelia soars to action, providing care in crises across the world!”
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you?
I hope to really get an opportunity to shine in a way I’ve seen other synthetics do with their RP! I’ve been inspired for years, and even through a hiatus I haven’t lost my admiration for the whitelist and its folks. If anything, I’ve only come to admire it more!
To be more direct: I want an opportunity to apply myself to the RP of a synthetic and provide the immersion I’ve received from synthetics to others with my own.
What is your most memorable interaction with a synthetic?
I think it would be an injustice for me to say only one interaction with a synthetic, as it’s more of a vibe I have from every synthetic I’ve had the pleasure to interact with.
I absolutely cannot overstate it enough, every synthetic I’ve met has been very well-composed in RP and lended themselves in an amazing manner to the immersion that CM can provide.
The synthetics I’ve met have felt very grounded in the world, likely due to the way they are so reactive to the world around them and so well-made as characters, full of depth and surprising personality for a synthetic. Each really feels like a wealth of personality in a living world, as though they certainly belong where they are and hold a story all their own. It’s also, likely, partly due to my soft spot for AI and non-organic people!
However, my most recent interaction I sincerely enjoyed was being able to play Amelia during the cross-WL event on 01/07/2025! From about 10:30 to 20:30 EST I had a great few rounds, each marked with the company of another synthetic. In a round on LV-624, I got to share a variety of duties with Desmond, Elliot, and Marco! I formed the bridge between Elliot and Marco, where the former was very immersed in medical work close to the front and the latter was solely shipside, I found myself resupplying the FOB surgeon, securing and aiding marines, and escorting the nuke groundside! At the end, I was introduced to a synthetic tradition of trying to get a group photo with all the other synths, and I’ve since saved that group photo.

Please enjoy!
Skills:
Engineering:
It’s most of my experience! I’m an engineering main from every single SS13 server I’ve ever played, I have a combined total of probably 4,500 hours in SS13 over all and over two thirds of that time has been spent engineering. My CM experience is likely best shown by 251.2 hours of FTL as almost exclusively Bravo, plus 94.8 of ComTech as almost exclusively Bravo.
Command:
Very! In every server I’ve ever played, I’ve played at least 100 hours of command. No less, I’m a whitelisted CO with 204.6hrs of CO, 87.0hrs of XO, and 53.9hrs of SO.
Medical:
Quite a lot! With all of my command staff I play with medical equipment on me, I’ve got 43.0hrs as Doctor, and my Corpsman hours are at 151.7!
Requisitions:
A good deal! Not counting my interactions with req as command staff and facilitating the logistics, I’ve got 47.9 hours of Cargo Technician and 73.4 hours of Quartermaster.
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example.
In almost strictly self-defense! Synthetics have strong self-preservation clauses that generally force them to retreat if at all possible. Survival is favored to target neutralization. There is, of course, the rare exception where their back is to a wall, such as Delta Alert on the Almayer. In this instance, synthetics CAN have slightly relaxed rules of engagement, but not in a reckless manner.
A runner engages you as you save a wounded marine en route to the (defended) Comms? You can fight it off as you move.
A CLF guerilla begins to engage you as you rally with the marines at pumps? You CAN beat them (but it’s probably unwise).
A marine begins to shoot another marine? This is “combat,” but it must be a non-lethal neutralization. E.G. a flash and wirecuffs.

Do you have anything else you would like to include about your application?
I’ve been wanting to make Amelia, specifically, for two years now, and I’m thrilled to have this opportunity! Thank you so much for your time and attention.
