Synthetic Info:
Name of the Synth Character you wish to play:
Grace
What is your Synthetic’s Personality?
Grace is designed for Geological and Geographical surveys. Initially designed to help W-Y colonists and scientists, her priority was to handle crew on planets with harsh climates and stressful situations for long periods of time. The UA and USMC purchased a few models as they gave insight into Geological and Geographical data to better help Command staff prepare for operations and Marines to better understand the environments they will be deploying too., as well as being able to form bonds and strongly socialize with crew.
As Grace units are designed for long term operations, they appear friendly, curious and often give small words of advice, this advice can sometimes be redundant and obvious, but her main goal is to prevent accidents and further issues. Grace Unit’s main goal with their socialization is to elevate stress and make sure crew are able to do their job, as with the colonies she was designed to work with if someone was unable to work it could lead to deaths or worse.
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?
Grace. Geology, Research, Analysis, Chemical Extraction units. Designed to better know where you are to know where you are heading.
Grace would treat marines and non-command staff as peers or Co-workers. She is not afraid to form bonds with staff, as strong bonds often lead to higher productivity, and was designed to work with colonists for long periods of time. Her main goal with Non-command staff is to make sure they are still able to do their jobs and be able to work proficiently. She would not be afraid to give small bits of advice to better help them or to consul, her main goal at the end of the day is to support the crew to keep them alive and happy.
Grace would treat Command staff as Site directors or bosses, she would treat them with great deals of respect, but there would be an underling tone of casualness. She would like non-command staff be not afraid to form bonds with her . Her main goal with non-command staff is to best inform them pre-deployment of the planet they are on if they are willing or able to listen. She would be an advisor figure, pointing out possible issues that may occur during the deployment from the Geography of the area, such as climate, speleology (the study of caves) and Geology.
There would be one outlier for both of these, however, that would be research staff. She would treat research staff as professors on top of their field. She would ask them questions about their research, trying to further her own understanding. Not only that, but she would ask questions about the chemicals they have, the hostile’s on the planet, and she would give her own analysis to research to better help them understand situations.
Why do you want to be a synthetic/why should we whitelist you?
I’ve Applied to this app, four times now. Most have been denied regarding either the qualify of the app itself or my RP. I have sought to rectify this the best I can, Obviously I am still my Goofy self. I still do, act and say things that often holds a goofy/memey nature ICly because while I adore all the mechanics of this game. the RP and Community being the main appeal to me. I want to have my own personal fun, this does not mean I cannot show restraint I fully can. I just have my own fun in a goofy game, when I’m playing goofy characters. Grace wont be this.
I have a staggeringly high knowledge of this game, My main Focus would be support roles specifically medical and engineering. While I will admit. My cades are unorthodox. They hold and they hold damn good. Real damn good. I get marines up before they hit the ground, I am a helldiver. Out and out. The knowledge, game-awareness and movement required to be a helldiver. Would be perfect for Synth. while Synths themselves cannot helldive. The skills I’ve learned from it would work amazingly on Synth.
My relationship to the community, I see as mostly positive. there are people who find me annoying at points but I wouldn’t say I am hated or disliked in the community. People Know me and people know what I do and rely on me because of it. I’ve made friendships in this small little community that i enjoy heavily, I have tried my best to stay out of drama where I can. I am recognized, for better and for worse.
My relationship with Synths. Most synths I try and have fun with, make fun of them, give weird obscure orders but its out of a place of endearment. While I’ve only really befriended two WL holders. I try my best to interact with ye when I can but when we both are playing roles that require so much focus, it gets hard generally though if we both are too ourselves with no duties I do try and strike up a convo even if it is small talk.
Finally, I care for my characters. I see them as personas. Extensions of my personality, Exaugurated. I wrote stores for any Character I make because I enjoy writing them. While I will admit. I am no Shakespeare. I write stories comparable to a shitty self insert fanfiction written by a 13 yr old homestuck fan on Wattpad. I do care for them deeply.
TL;DR: I should be a synth because, I hold potential and am willing to make the WL proud.
What is your most memorable interaction with a synthetic?
I think my favorited interaction ever, Was with Malcom. it was On Trijernt. The hive was squashed and it was a bug hunt. My dumbass likes to explore alone. I come a across Malcom and we talk for a bit. He brings up that he has a crew monitor and that he can track me if need be. I of course, didn’t really think much of this. Not even five seconds after us ending the convo I get capped. I yell it out on comms and the general area of the straggling Xenos who are fumbling to make a new hive. The Xenos. bounce me back and forth between tunnels. nesting me. The marines, of course Follow Malcom who is tracking my ass. I am in hive fighting for my life. I brought a fuck ton of throwing knives for some… reason and just kept throwing them at Xenos, trying my hardest to escape. I finally get nested. I am late stage… Xenos run out of hive. I am at first unsure of what exactly is happening. until i realize, The Xenos. They caught on that I was being tracked and abandoned me. Malcom comes clawing his way through weeds into the small little area I was in to rescue me. He gets me. I have about give or take with stasis 3 mins left on the clock. They drag my sorry ass to Fob, to the dropship, to the ship itself. and, manages to get the larva out before I become another name in the memorial.
Synthetic Character Story:
Graces Grace.
used for my previous app, However I am still proud of it so I will use it again.
Internal Diagnostic Report.
This is more for For flare, rather than much else. Just shows what I would imagine goes on in a synths Head, not the main focus or story however still just fun to think about.
Skills:
Engineering:
I know my stuff with engineering. My cades hold and they hold firm. My soul is a fobbit. It was the squad I started out in, I have strong cade theory. Intense hatred of Rwalls and know how to fix Comms while not looking like a dumbass.
Command:
I lead operations with a might like no other. I know how to rain hell down with OB’s, give hope with supply drops and send marines to their death via Auto-PO. I know how to sing glorious songs of war through announcements, Both shipside and everywhere. My biggest weakness with Command however, the marines under my command seem to think themselves as cannon fodder, dying when i didn’t give them the order too. Marine Law is my bible.
Medical:
I know how to save the marines whom i didn’t give permission to die. Mass casualties are no issue to me, Chemicals and research I have fully memorized. I know how to to treat OD’s. How to position so I can both quickly flee and save a life at the same time. Surgeries and tools i have memorized. Both crude and hobo methods as well.
Requisitions:
While my weakest Role in support. I would know how to make sure the Jar Heads groundside get what they want, and the Unga’s shipside don’t bitch on comms about how slow the Req line is.
What are some scenarios that you can perform combat in? Give us a brief example.
A synth is a Program. It cannot break its programming no matter what the condition is.
It is Marine over Machine, A synth must preserve it’s crew and itself as without its preservation it cannot serve the crew.
Examples are.
I am the colony synth for Solaris Ridge. The Survs have held up at marshals. Cades are weak and are falling. Under Delta Alert and my hands are untied for self defense. I would try my best to secure that the survivors have time to escape. My priority would be them less so on what I am fighting. I would bounce in and out. Hitting when I can. Once i buy enough time, I would flee myself, only engaging with Xenos again if they chase me and I am forced to engage again.
The marines have deployed to LV. The beaches are baron. Brave, or some would say foolish Marine makes way to containers where the front is, Alone. With their trusty M37. backliners are all over. Lurkers and Runners hide in the shadows to find easy prey. This marine sadly, was not lucky and they choose them. I the synth am walking to containers as well and notice that he is being harassed. When a Lurker pounces on him. Synths are programed to prevent danger and remove it. The only way to remove the Lurker from this marine is to bash the xenos skull in till it backs off the marine. From there I would fire-arm carry him, bring him to safety. The priority is the Marine, not the xeno.
If a Marine is in breach of M.L and I am not deputized but is a major threat to myself and other crew members, I would use non-lethal means to disarm the situation and then communicate with the MP’s about the situation if need be.
Finally, I would treat other factions in the universe similar to xenos. I would not activistly seek out combat with them unless they are a threat to myself or the crew around me. Using lethal means where need be as the factions do not fall under M.L.
Final Info:
Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason? Do you have any active jobbans?
No, I have not been banned.
Are you currently banned from our Discord?
No I am not banned.
Let us know why you were discord banned.
N/A
Do you have anything else you would like to include about your application?
I am sorry for the Reuse of the story of my previous app and other things that I copy and pasted with this one. it most likely will doc me a few “Good synth” points and will result in more harsh criticism. however I am just tired of doing redraft after redraft of stories and never being happy with them. Of course goes for other parts of this app I moved over from my previous one.
Finally, For Grammar and spelling issues. I am severely dyslexic. most councilors already know this. However I am clarifying further.
I know my Playstyles can seem “strange” and non serious, but there is reasons as to why I go the loadouts I do. If you are ever curious as to why I am going something, Ask away, Some of it is because of lore.
