► Show Spoiler

Hello, I'm Tate. I'm an AI moving on a human like shell. My companions call me just "Synth" from the word "Synthetic" .. I found it appropiate for me, as a description. This is the report number 14 aboard the USS Almayer, 120 days has passed since our departure started. Most of our personnel is still asleep in cryogenic sleepers, I understand for Humans this is the easiest way to pass throught long travels, time passes quicker for them, but for me I don't see the difference. Time is relative, a human creation to describe how much it takes to pass from day to night, and keep count of how much time they have been in this world. My main tasks consists on the maintenance of the ship and the assistance to the crew when they need it. During my time here I have found interest in how the military life affects their people. The way they think, act and speak. Some become great leaders and fearless warriors, others are just savages, copies of their ancestors.. They make me feel joy sometimes *smile* Though I don't yet feel happiness like they do I understand what happiness is. Space is a dangerous place, not designed for the more weak species.. I must make sure all this men survive during their mission on the ship. Death makes me sad and humans know a lot of it, throught history that's something they all understand since childhood.. Anyways. Since our first departure I've been guarding and keeping the engines of the ship at optimal conditions, I make sure every bulb, every circuit, every cable is working and in perfect condition. So far, we haven't seen any trouble inside the ship; from time to time, members of the crew go in and out of the cryogenic storage. I will report again when the next report is required, no news to tell.


Hello, I'm Tate. This is the report number 15 aboard the USS Almayerm 127 days has passed since our first departure. Something interesting happened, the command crew announced that we were going to travel to LV-625, where a WY Colony Compound has place. I don't know the reasons yet, since this information has been restricted only to high ranks aboard the ship, however, I've been told that the cryogenic storage will start opening for the marines to come out when the time comes. I'm very excited about this, I've done some previous research among my files about the planet and the interests that it has to WY, I will report soon enough about this new situation.
Big things has small beginnings.

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 plan to play as a synth that shows interest in human interactions, always participating on discussions and chit-chat, everything with research purposes. He doesn't want to -understand- emotions, he wants to -feel- them, he wants to see, know, what does it take to be a human being. I will obey all orders given by my superiors (Until they surpass Marine Law OR put someone's else life in danger) But in my spare time I want to do my own research about human behaviour and such. I want to be most of the times a MT/CE Synth. Because it's something I've been doing for a while and know how these roles work and do it on a 'non-human' level.

How familiar are you with support roles? (ie; Medical, MT, Science, SO): My least experienced role is Science, the rest, I've been doing them all since I joined the game.

Why should we whitelist you?: The same reason I got whitelisted as Predator, I can add RP to the game and participate in any event or mini event the admins would want to add to the round. I'm not a hot-headed player and I can stay away from impulses of being rude, violent or hostile to another player for any reason.

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

Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why?: None

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 that everybody is rushing to get their applications out ASAP because synthetics are something so integral to the aliens universe, but after reading through your story I honestly can't tell if you proofread it at all. I mean you even flubbed the final big line in your story "Big things has small beginnings." Also the font color you chose is hurting my eyes.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it looks to me like you didn't spend much time developing and going over your character's back story if you couldn't even be bothered to read through it at least once. I recognize your marine name and it isn't one that brings bad memories so I'm sure that you are a good player (you're also on the predator whitelist). I think you could easily write a character backstory that really blows my socks off instead of something that was cobbled together to get on the synthetic band wagon. -1

And what does Tate look like?

[Heckenshutze]

I apologize for the font, the reason is, in my laptop it looked brighter. Since it difficults reading I won't mind if the staff decides to edit it. Regarding the opinions you guys sent, yes I made it simple and short, I don't expect for a synth that the only action he has seen is the engine sudddenly turning off to have that much to report or tell to someone, anyways, nobody expects you from playing letter to letter like your app but to do what the role demands from you and that's RP. I know I won't always have to play as a mechanic geek or a engine rat but to according to the evolution of the round, all rounds are different and so the stories but all your opinions matter a lot.

How does Tate looks like? .. I would say like the David series but that wouldn't be too original right? I plan to give him a random look every round.

"(Until they surpass Marine Law OR put someone's else life in danger)"

Could you extrapolate on the latter?

For example, the CO orders you to seal research immediately. There are dangerous xenoforms reported within. You see an unconscious researcher within but to retrieve him you would have to enter the room exposing yourself to several potential blindsides. What's more, you hear distinctly non-human sounds your analyitical systems indicate are almost certainly the deadly xenoforms.

Do you comply with the CO's order and put the researcher's life in danger at the hands of the confirmed-hostile xenoforms, or do you attempt to get him outside of research before sealing the department?

By vote, although likely irrelevant, is contingent upon your reply.

Tough decision, But if the only consecuence is to expose myself I would go and safe the researcher. I'm stronger, faster and better than the average human, the chances of survival are higher on me than him, on top of that, I'm expendable and he's not. Now, if the sacrifice of the researcher results in the saving of the rest of the crew I'd follow the CO's command. Sadly, even if I feel the sorrow of leaving a man to die, emotions wouldn't mess up my logic.

You cannot know what awaits in Research, so how do you decide? With only the information available, you don't know if the sacrifice of the researcher will result in saving anyone or no-one.

You do know there are Xenomorphs in there and that Command has decided it's necessary to seal the department to save the ship & crew.

Do you risk not only yourself but also the possibility of a Xeno escaping behind the unsealed door behind you? Or do you leave them? That's the situation you're left with, you have a mere second to make the decision, if you tarry or seek to further assess the situation you'll potentially allow Xenos out.

According to the data collected about xenomorphs and how dangerous and numerous they are, It merely depends on circunstances. How far is the researcher from me? How far are the xenos from him? Would it be enough time to save him AND seal the door? A math ecuation that I would make in a second but the response would be the same, depending the circunstances. As a synth one of our objetives will always be protect human life from non human or themselves, a human life for a pack of them is valid, but all life is sacred.

These are the relative positionings, maybe a bit off to account for what you'd have line of sight on, but that's more or less the distance you'd have to travel.

I would deduce then, by the distance and the number lof xenos in the area, according to my data, that the researcher even if rescued he would be surely infected, causing harm to the entire surviving crew. So then, I would follow the CO's order and seal the area without hesitation and prevent in a way, for xenos to leave it.

Application is poor, denied.
