August - Synthetic Application

Post by Bengalninja » 19 Jul 2018, 16:41

Byond ID: BengalNinja

Marine Name (so we know who you are; if you play alien mostly, state that here): Felicity Wells, Seth Wells, I play half and half.

Name/Designation of the Synth Character you’re requesting to use (Follows common naming rules, and requires a first name with no last name): August
Examples of acceptable names: James, Mason, Xavier, Felix, Otto, Allan, Jessica
Examples of unacceptable names: Obama, Jesus, King, Dragon, Godly, Snyper, Circuits

Are you familiar with the Synthetic Programming and Guidelines (http://cm-ss13.com/viewtop ... 57&t=14417)? Yes

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)? When playing my synthetic, I will focus on surgery and engineering repair. My character was programmed to interact with humans in a positive way, encouraging and repairing. They are made to emulate a positive outlook, no matter the odds. They are always positive, and look for the bright side of things and fix the bad.

How familiar are you with support roles? (ie; Medical, MT, Science, SO) I tend to play ONLY support roles, such as Doctor, CE, PO, SO, XO, and TC. I am familiar with surgery, and am able to perform it without looking at the wiki. I am also very familiar with engineering and construction, and only need to look at the wiki for a select few things. I do know my way around the wiki very well though, and if I don't know how to do something, I will find a spot on the wiki that tells me how.

Why should we whitelist you? I think I could add a unique character and roleplay experience by playing as a synthetic, and I would love to play as a synthetic as well. I want to interact more with people as a synthetic since I see that is something that is not common, synthetics making an effort to interact with people. I also think that my Synthetic could make for some pretty funny situations, as made an example of in the bio short story.

Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason (we will check, and lies may result in immediate denial)? Not the last month, but I was banned in one of my first few rounds for EORG.

Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why? Not that I am aware of.

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? Of course.

I normally don't post on synth apps, But I kinda just need to state a few things, One your forums account is exactly one month old which isn't a bad thing as it meets criteria, but that along with the one post being this one. This shows that you really only made the forum account to make the app.


Im not giving +1's or -1's I just wanted to state my opinion on the matter

Hmm, your quirk does appear to be a bit popular. We already have:

- Craig, a genuinely happy synth
- Emma, an eternal optimist
- Harper, the obnoxiously optimistic synth

How would you plan on differentiating yourself from those characters?
Gaius Caelus

Often playing Researcher, Doctor, or many other ship-side roles
Amadeus the synth
Zig’Reth (The Player of Games)
Mostly droning as Xeno, OFTEN TALKING IN CAPS.

Also, I'm recording!

This is a -1 from me, the application itself is long, and doesn't really hold my attention all that well. Also your quirk has been done in so many ways, personally it's never really been a quirk to me for synths to be cheery. Synths aren't mopey or depressing, so them being cheery or optimistic doesn't really seem all that quirky to me.

HOW TO FIX IT: Write a more interesting story, and split it up, the massive wall of text doesn't make it that appealing to chug through, especially when it is rather uneventful.

You have two forum posts and your forum account is barely a month old, please be more active in the forums. You won't get far unless you contribute besides "muh synth, pred, and co".

Also I'd appreciate it if you would format the application better, maybe enlarging or bolding some text. Take care buddy.

After some deliberation, I have decided that I will close this application. My quirk is too similar to other synths quirks and my backstory is pretty boring, even in my own opinion. I apologize for wasting everybody's time. I will definitely re-apply when my timer is up.

Resolved - App withdrawn by request; you can reapply in two months from July 22nd.
Ban Appeal Users: If I've lifted your perma ban and you're still unable to log onto the server, send me a forum PM regarding it and I'll work to get it fixed in ~24 hours.
