Synthetic Character Story (An ADEQUATE description and story of your Synthetics actions and involvement in a previous mission onboard the Almayer):

► Show Spoiler

A synthetic dressed in a blue suit with black hair and grey eyes is sitting in a charging station whilst a scientist prepares to take a final test on it, to determine if it is ready or not.
"Command order, 6129-F, online"
"Order recognized, powering up one moment please"
"Hello Reno, are you well today?" A young scientist holding a clipboard and pen says writing notes
"Why yes sir, I feel operational and 120%! How do you feel?" Reno says in a somewhat cheerful voice while looking at the scientist
"Alright, good, I'm a bit sad today Reno, I can use a good spiritual boost" the scientist says writing away on his clipboard
Reno gives a small smile and nods "No worry sir, how may I assist you then this day? I have a vast selection of jokes, or perhaps you require some candy?"
"Tell me a joke please?" The scientist says putting the pen down smiling proudly
"A UPP soldier can down 20 bottles of vodka so I hear, but only when a marine is around, for they need that many if the marine decides to throw grenades randomly at themselves and others. Did that joke suffice sir?"
The scientist shakes his head "Don't worry about it, I'm sure you'll get better in time...seems your functional however, and that you are good enough to do your job to a degree."
"Why thank you sir. I will perform my duties to the best of my abilities."

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 will act respectful and rather kind, acting as a morale booster and always having some protein or EAT bars available (a IMP backpack full most likely) and besides boosting morale of the marines also assist in other tasks and helping in passing out items in req however not weapons (via no machetes, grenades maybe, and no guns at all, only attachments and random gear like holsters and webbing) also will have somewhat of an Australian accent. And I may tell a bad joke (not dark humor but bad as in "doesn't really know how to make a joke bad) a few times during the round.

How familiar are you with support roles? (ie; Medical, MT, Science, SO)
I am very familiar with research and had to perform ghetto worm surgery for my first surgery (I also make explosives and test out nonlethal grenades) and I played MT a few times and know how to make things
Why should we whitelist you?
Because I would love to be able to have a heavy roleplay role! Plus this role seems calm and quiet after a long day and I would love to be able to just run around helping all departments without worrying about ID locks and being able to assist where needed really, especially in req where well it can get chaotic if no or only one CT or RO is awake.
Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason (we will check, and lies may result in immediate denial)? No but have been warned

Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why? No I am a good boi

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, nobody is above the rules

+1. I have seen you around as a MP and other roles, good RPer. A bad-joke teller would be nice to have around as well. Story is a bit lacking though.

[taketheshot56]

I think the entire application is very good, the only thing I will note is that the backstory could be a bit longer, despite this I know you can roleplay and I hope NGG will give you a chance, you definitely deserve it.

[Avalanchee]

Good guy, saw him around few times and RPying with him is cool.
Story is pretty also pretty good

Hey Mikey!

How are your skills regarding medical, engineering and overwatch functions?

For example, a patient comes to you in a stasis bag. It has 30% blood, naturally a ton of oxygen damage, and toxic damage that keeps rising with time. How would you proceed to treat them, considering having all the tools at your disposal?

Can you set up the engine, load and refit the dropships and hack doors just fine?

Do you know how the offset coordinates work for OBs and SBs?

[Lukey111]

I have not seen you around, so I can not judge you on your ability to RP

Backstory is really short, and lacking quite a bit of details.
The application looks like it was made in a short amount of time.
Pretty low amount of posts, and made your account not long ago.
Your synth sounds like it has that kind of 'robotic' quirk, which we have a lot of.
The name sounds like Weenies... not that big of a deal.

I'm gonna have to go with a neutral leaning towards -1, I personally don't know your character, low forum activity, and not much effort in the application.

Ooo that surgery, well first hmmm
I would make sure they had no brute damage, bandage them up and inject iron into them to increase blood but not enough to where they possibly could OD on iron, then I'd put them in the ice pods in the northern parts of medbay for a time to make sure any brute damage was gone, then I'd go to scan them find the exact problem stasis bag them again to make sure they remained well alive at least and begin possibly replacing their lungs saying that high amounts of oxygen damage could be lungs, but also could be the heart, it'd really need some more details, cause they could have heart damage, or they could have lung damage saying the toxins and well saying the toxins are there they probably have liver damage as an option as well and would have a lot of neurotic tissues in them that would need cleaning out, that surgery would probably be a little long, and I'd probably do a lot of extra stuff to make sure that they were 100% and even then I'd hook them to a IV drip and make sure they stayed in medbay for a few and scan them often for any other problems

[Jakkkk]

I told you to make this, so this alone makes me feel bad but I am at a solid -1.

The story is short, the overly-cheery quirk has been done before, low forum activity and I think you just aren't ready.

On another note, a synth is totally capable and should be okay with delivering guns and handing weapons to marines. They just can't use guns.

You see, Mikey, in this case the brute damage, if they had it, would be a bit of a secondary problem. You can examine your patients to see if they are bleeding from somewhere, or the scanner will tell you as well, and I assume you were referring to that when you said you'd bandage them up (always use trauma kits over bandages as doctor, it has no downsides and it's very superior). But the issue at hand would be crippling lack of blood and either an organ damage or an OD. The patient would die in seconds after you removed them from the stasis bag without giving them dexalin plus. Iron is a very slow way to replenish blood considering that state, so either a large amount of simultaneous IVs or the autodoc would be required to fix that issue. And the toxins case would have to be addressed quickly, as it could threaten to husk your patient. Peri and dylo is the way to go if it's organ damage, or purge or dialysis if OD, to stabilize before surgery or further treatment.

The question was definitely not an easy one, but Synths have really high standards. I think the RP part you have nailed really well, and being a MP main I know you can be trusted to follow the rules and guidelines with responsibility, but I have not seen you playing doctor much and perhaps you should do it a bit more before gunning for a synthetic role. If you do I'll try to join as doctor as well and try to teach you some useful tricks. I'm confident you'll be able to master it in no time.

That said, I love the idea of the synth not handing out weapons or dangerous devices. And of going around telling bad jokes, lightening up the mood. I think you could really pull off a very enjoyable character to have around. I hope you do get this role once you are ready.

No don't feel bad I enjoyed writing it and such!

[MattAtlas]

Bit late but I'll give my feedback as well.

Story is... exceptionally short. It's just not good enough and far, far too short. The quirk has been done numerous times by now and I don't think we should have more synths with such a quirk.

I've seen you around in game, I guess your RP level is decent. But the story and the quirk are the main detrimental factors to the application.

-1. I don't think this application meets the standards.

[Kavlo]

This application is fairly short overall and doesn't have much to it description wise in any field.
The quirk is generally what most synths do on a regular basis or do regardless of their quirk to be honest since snyths are meant to help the crew out wherever possible.
You're definitely a good player don't get me wrong but you need to add a lot more substance to your applications.

-1.

[Aceluke123]

Seeing as how old this app is, and the responses so far I would have to give this a -1.

Secondly, when it comes to your story I have to say not much effort seems to be put into the story. Next time I would hope you write something a bit more lengthy, not too long but just something that shows how you would roleplay your quirk in the game.

I have seen your character in game, but haven't been able to accurately access your quality of roleplay. Apologies.

This. You mirrored my thoughts exactly.

[ThesoldierLLJK]

+1, the app may be short, and to be fair this application is almost two months old. He's evolved a bit since then, and I think a synth who tries to tell corny dad jokes would be fun. The guy can roleplay like a professional since I've seen him around and played with him, and that is what the main role is besides doing things around the ship.

I've seen a few applications shorter than his get a +1 because of the person's abilities, so it's only fair I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt based on his RP abilities.

[nerocavalier]

How much effort did you put into this? The word count is less than 300 with minimal formatting. The quirk is a bit generic but the accent could have been interesting. I don't see it in the story beyond the usual cheer. I may like you as a player but that won't change my answer.

-1. I'll be glad to give a +1 next time if you made a better story and stepped up your forum activity.

[Emeraldblood]

Resolved - Denied; given the age of the app and forum involvement, you can make a new app in one month over two. Work on fleshing out the backstory a little. Doesn't need to be really long, but you want substance and deeper meaning if you are going for a shorter story.
