driecg36 Synth whitelist app

Post by driecg36 » 17 Aug 2017, 06:42

Byond ID: driecg36

Marine Name (so we know who you are; if you play alien mostly, state that here):

Pierre 'Jackass' Martin

Name/Designation of the Synth Character you’re requesting to use (Follows common naming rules, and requires a first name with no last name):

Oscar

Are you familiar with the Synthetic Programming and Guidelines (viewtopic.php?f=57&t=14417)?

Yes, I am.

Synthetic Character Story (An ADEQUATE description and story of your Synthetics actions and involvement in a previous mission onboard the Almayer):
► Show Spoiler
How do you intend to play your Synth (as in, describe HOW you will act/play your Synth and what support roles you’ll mainly focus on, what is your synthetics quirk)?

I would primarily be an RP centric synth, focusing more so on interaction with command and marines rather than simply wordlessly completing tasks. Of course, I would do any task that needs doing (or that I was ordered to do), but I think spending the entire round being an assistant doctor or an assistant MT is a waste of synth potential.

I would most likely gravitate towards supporting command and medical, since I play those two roles quite a bit.

My synthetic quirk is SUPPORTIVE/SYMPATHETIC, which means he will usually be very helpful and try to understand/sympathize the emotions of humans, though he may internally hold some misgivings about the less ethical things command staff attempt to do. However, his synthetic nature will prevent him from ever being truly friends with a human, and he will sacrifice people without a second thought if it means saving others

How familiar are you with support roles? (ie; Medical, MT, Science, SO)

I know all these roles extremely well, as I've often had to answer mentor questions about them, as well as having played each one extensively (except MT, but I still know engineering).

Why should we whitelist you?

I've been a consistent, active player, and have contributed much to the community. I consider myself a good RP-er, and I think I could create some very enjoyable/interesting experiences for players Oscar interacts with.

I am also very good at taking non-violent approaches where others would simply shoot to kill, and I value RP infinitely more than 'winning', something I have made clear many times over my time with CM. I also understand the mechanics of CM very well, having been a moderator for multiple months now and having to answer many questions about the game.

Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason (we will check, and lies may result in immediate denial)?

No, I have not.

Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why?

No, I'm not banned from any server currently (or ever have been, as far as I remember).

Do you understand that any player - donor or otherwise - can have their whitelist status revoked should they break our rules or the Synthetic Programming Guideline?

Yes, I understand.
Some guy.

An enjoyable read, and sounds like an enjoyable Synth. The application was laid out nicely, no glaring grammatical issues, and the player/character named is someone I've seen plenty of times to recognize.

driecg can roleplay quite well, he plays on Aurora a fair bit and all of his characters over there have distinct, believable personalities so I have no doubt that he'd be able to maintain a character.

The story is good, if a little bit sad (I feel terrible for Oscar D:) That being said it is a bit strange that he does things by knowing that disobeying orders would be against his programming as opposed to doing it by default but I 100% don't think that it is character breaking and it very well may be personal preference. The synth has a clear personality (Compassionate and supportive as listed) which was clearly displayed throughout the story.

I think synths may seem really emotionless and one dimensional on the outside, but I feel like they have a lot more inner workings than they let on, which is why I included that part in the story.

Oscar never considers disobeying the order; it's simply not a possibility in his mind. He is just 'saddened' by it, and tries to justify it to himself the best he can.

The story is really nice, and I love the formatting. I love how Oscar has that quick moment of internal "fighting", but it never really became an issue , for me it just adds personality to your character. I know Driecg can role play pretty well, and handle this role. +1

I like how we've taken polar opposite approaches to how synth emotions work. You have a synth with a lot of inner emotions but the inability to display them and I have a synth with no inner emotion but a lot of slightly off emotional display.

Still, you have my +1 because I really want both to exist.

I think both have merit, and both are valid ways in which a synth could exist, depending on their programming and personality quirks.

Even internally, Oscar's emotions aren't that strong. As the programming guidelines state, synth's can only achieve about 50% emotion, but never surpass that. Oscar's inner machinations are moreso him processing the world around him based on his "quirk", but being forced to act another way because of his programming.

I still feel like he has more "emotion" than the average synth because of his quirk, which really makes him consider the PoV and plight of humans more so than many other synths would.

He's more of a Bishop than a David, basically.

I don't recommend using conjunctions to start a phrase, use a comma or a semicolon if you're feeling exotic.

The story was rather lovely, though I felt like there was a degree of inconsistency in it and the appearance of a red herring. That would be the fact that you found it pertinent to mention that the IEDs were poorly hidden. That would mean that it would've been easy for any engineer worth their mettle to take care of those and people evade them. Beyond that, I felt like it wouldn't be within the marine's normal course of action to bomb an entire village because of a mine field.

This is of course me nitpicking it, it looks quite well so far.

Remember that the USCM are much more brutal and ruthless than the IRL USMC. Considering events like the Cristobal massacre and how brutally the Colonial Marines put down rebellions, I think bombing a village is definitely within their limits (especially considering we bomb villages that potentially contain civilians today IRL).

And by poorly hidden, I meant by Synthetic vision standards, though I should probably have defined that. They would barely be visible by human eyes, but would make a clear pattern for the superhuman senses of a synthetic that can analyze patterns very effectively.

You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

This ap's great; there's an awareness of the emotional paradox of synths, showing an interesting dichotomy between inhumanity and humanityinherebt to the role. Besides all that, Driecg's a lovely man, an excellent role player and a thoughtful, responsible member of the staff team. I really look forward to how this looks of the server. Naturally a plus one.

Thanks! I really think synths are interesting because of their conflicting nature, and I tried to show that in my app. I am also quite lovely, that is also true.

Accepted.

Ensure you set your Synth name on character Set-Up and be aware they use the default look you have set up for marine.
