Synthetic Info:

Name of the Synth Character you wish to play:

Serenity

Provide a short description of your synthetic’s backstory

Serenity has served on many different roles and areas. Ranging from the lowest hydroponics research colony to major military instillations. He is most known for his work with Colonial Marshals in areas where medical and Marshal support is often waning due to CLF numbers. They are also know for aiding FORECON and armored Marine units in the field ranging from surgery work to mechanical work as well as forward scouting. Their lesser known roles are that of a dockhand working as a box loader and emergency medical technician for the workers that come.

Describe your synth’s personality without mentioning their skills or previous professions

Serenity is calm and collect but with a joking personality. Able to remain calm in the most tense of situations and calming down those who are too afraid to even move.

How would your synthetic interact with enlisted personnel, officers and civilians? How could you involve your personality into these interactions?

Lower Enlisted: Serenity would act almost like a fresh NCO, still trying to hang out with them but also knowing that these are people he swore to help out no matter what. He would try to make sure they know they have someone in their corner despite being the lowest on the pole.

Senior Enlisted: Serenity would maintain a more professional attitude giving them common curiosity that is deserving of NCOs. He would still make it clear he serves with them fully just like that of Lower Enlisted.

Officers: Serenity would show officers the respect NCOs give them, proper respect. He would follow proper procedure referring to them as sir or mam and would listen to their orders as one does. He would also treat them in a more gentleman like manner for their way they are brought up.

Civilians: Serenity would either act like a lower enlisted showing compassion or an EMT if the situation requires it. He would know civilians are the backing of both the Synthetic core and the Marine core so he would ensure they see nothing but the best of the best from both.

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

Ive wanted to be a synthetic for a while as I love helping out and being a supportive role whenever possible. Ive seen what synthetics do and have wanted to be like that since they helped me learn how to survivor. Ive trained as a medic, an engineer, a researcher, MP, and XO. More often than not Ive seen operations where having a synthetic would have helped massively in terms of RP and in terms of action, and I want to be that bridge to bring both sides in.

What is your most memorable interaction with a synthetic?

Synthetic Character Story:

Skills:

How familiar are you in CMs support roles such as medical/engineering/requisitions/command and which of them are you more and less proficient in?

I am heavily familiar with Medical, Engineering (main), requisitions, command. I am less proficient however in the RND aspect but am still learning it actively.

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

Mainly in a defensive manner and not in a frontline role. Best way I can give an example for this would be during a route back to FOB and I’m transferring Marines from the Triage area, when a lurker or warrior happens to ambush us along the route back. I would order them along the way or to cover the wounded and pull (if any could fight) while I would attempt to chase it off, not searching to kill or get myself killed but more so to ensure the wounded in my care make it to safety and the threat disengaged.

Final Info:

No

Odd, never let me change characters you play as. I mainly play Cremune ‘Skunk’ Fox at this time. Thats what the edit was, and so is this part of this reply.

Hi, thank you for applying to the synthetic whitelist. Unfortunately, your application is being denied due to a variety of factors.

Your combat answers are vague and aren’t really what we are looking for - in addition you cannot order marines to do things. It’s preferred you provide examples of when you can do combat with specifics.

Your synthetics personality section is lacking and not particularly detailed - it’s hard to really see anything they have that isn’t just ‘they are calm’, which most synthetics are. Your synthetic is a simulacra of a person and is designed to be more than just ‘they are calm’ or ‘they are sad/happy’ - do they have any additional mannerisms or act strange, do they enjoy certain things, etc. While not all of these need to be displayed in the personality section, it would need to be heavily compensated by showing your character in the story - which unfortunately yours does not.

I suggest reaching out to myself and other councillors in discord via the WL-app-help channel for future applications.
