The cryo pod clicks as it opens with vapor clouding the glass.
"Is it awake?, it looks awake." a voice says

"It says online, should be." a deeper voice adds.

"Ocular sensors clouded." Boone opens his eyes and wipes them with a rag. "That's better."

"I guess that works." The tech states.

"I reckon anything beyond that would be futile." Boone states sternly.
Boone straps on a bright orange hazard vest as well as a tool-belt above his worn oil stained support uniform.

"Does the engineering depot need anything of me?"

"S-52's should be down by now, but I've got better things to do." The tech states as he leaves the room grinning.

"Medium priority task acquired, moving to complete." Boone heads off to the dank but warm generator bay.
Two thirds of the gens required complete reparations.
"Seems about right for maint techs at this time." As Boone begins to repair the first row.

A man wearing hazard gear enters the generator bay "New robot?. Nice."

"Yep, Model E. Just got 'built' and sent here. Doing my part." Boone earnestly adds.

"You're a real leather man, Synth." The technician grins.

"We're built for utility, Tech. Cheap and functional." Boone informs the tech.

"At least you're functional on that part, might be the only functional machine in this room even."

An s-52 breaks down almost immediately after Boone finishes repairing it.

"Well put." Boone starts reparations on the malfunctioning engine.
Several engines roar and beep wildly as they power up, making normal conversation almost inaudible.

"Some things just don't work, and some do!" Boone yells over the s-52's roaring as he leaves the room.

Boone gets out of the blaring generator room and reminds staff over comms, "Keep it functional and simple, forget the looks. Be a working joe."

He heads back to the boisterous forgetting his wrench and welder, to find all of the generators running at full output, perfectly. He cracks a smile and finds satisfaction from seeing everything operational.

"All you need for happiness is a good wrench, a good vest, and a good tool belt."

He picks up his abandoned tools, noticing several scratches that weren't there before.

"Task finished, medium priority." Boone wipes out his rag and cleared oil from his face and remarks on comms, Synthetic awaiting further orders.

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)?

A utilitarian early model synthetic that keeps things simple, but functional. As well as finding 'satisfaction' in items that share the utilitarian style attitude, that doesnt 'enjoy' complex items and tries to make them simpler and more functional. aswell as a few frontiersman quotes here and there.

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

Very. My usual support role is MT / SO.

Why should we whitelist you?

To help bring a semi new experience to characters who encounter myself in-game. I believe I've learned enough of everything support role wise to be competent within the synthetic ranks. As a synthetic on low-pop where I play often aswell I could take up roles that are needed based on the current situation.

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

No

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

No

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?
Seems reasonable to prevent whitelist abuse. Yes.

[SolubleWhenWet]

Cute story, I wish there was more to it! I'm assuming you're a fan of Fallout: New Vegas due to your synth name, and the very mild similarity in tone to the cowboy robot at the start of the game.
I've personally witnessed you playing MT and showing others how to hack doors(to my chagrin as your CE), and you've demonstrated your mastery at engineering.

I see you often, you're a reliable player; +1 from me, buckaroo!

[Sleepy Retard]

While admittedly I've taken part of some of the shenanigans, I'd like to see you RP for once, instead of LRP. I know you can actually do the jobs, but I have no reason to believe you're capable of RP considering I see you suiciding, beating the shit out of yourself, or doing machete duels more than talking.

Neutral for now, I care not about the app at this stage.

I've been getting more and more back into higher levels of RP instead of shenanigans, I'm even trying to find improvements for myself for shipside roles that can be boring. Thanks for the constructive feedback however.

[Solarmare]

While there may not be other issues, I do want to hear from others whether you're just being a meme in the roles before I can give a good opinion.
Moreover, what examples do you have of trying to simplify things?

For one, I'd try simplified language, not 60 IQ language but rather late 1700's style English. There are various tasks with different steps that the game currently has but I see 'Boone' Having a goal of evaluating various tasks that are given in rounds, and taking an unnecessary steps out of them. Simple as a nature survivalist, keeping essentials and removing unessential steps.

I think you mean laymen terms right?

The second you even think about YE OLDE SYNTH I will -1 this so fast you won't know what happened.

You sure about that?

[Karmac]

Okay so you intend for your synth to make use of ye olde english but don't provide any evidence of this in your story, and I don't even want to go into the fact that you literally emphasized his ability to find satisfaction in utlitarian products in a single sentence where he says "all you need for happiness is tools and shit". Looks pretty dissapointing overall and I'm gonna stick a -1 on it.

[Enigmachine]

I've had a lot of run ins with Bishop from an MP perspective. He's quite wordless when he isn't hurling insults or complaining. I say that excluding time he's played SO as I don't recall encountering him as one. Further, I'd bet real money that if we could put it to statistics, I either get a call about him from a third party or he interrupts a lawful arrests more than 50% of the rounds we share.

On the other hand, Boone would be a separate character, so I'm uneasy with judging if Boone should be allowed to exist based on how Erich Bishop the character behaves.

Lastly, I will say that I think he's being honest about stepping his RP up. Unless it was front for something I don't know about, I've seen him play cards on downtime as an MT.

If I have a chance to before this is resolved I'll return later with whatever my +1/-1 is worth.

[Enigmachine]

Just want to add on looking at other replies; I don't think he means ye olde english. I think he means English as it was used in the late 1700's American backwoods. Like, Daniel Boone times. I mean, it's in the name.

The second I see a Synthetic go "CMP, some ruffians are starting a melee, please alarm your Constables!"

Is the second I slap a LRP report so fast.

edit: For the record I'm ok if he simplfies things, and as much of a lover of history I am, I am not ok with Synths quirks using a different form of English from an ancient time.

[KittyHawkpilot019]

Knew there was something it was called but I couldn't recall it. Just simplified talking rather than generic ye old stuff.

[ThesoldierLLJK]

Ok, I’m going to give you a scenario and i want you to reply with how you would react with your quirk.

You are planetside and a PFC drags a wounded marine to you.

With a health analyzer you think he has brain damage and IB.

The PFC is going berserker screaming “WHATS WRONG WITH HIM SAVE HIM!”

I'd say his brain was bleeding internally and has brain damage and that they should head up after I treat them.
I'd keep it from the front-line so everyone knows whats going on.

But would you over simplify this in your quirk?
What words and phrases would you tell this marine who only has basic first aid training on what is going on with this buddy?

[Sleepy Retard]

Okay, the soldier is a fucking retard -

Write a script for the following three events:

A PFC asks you what is wrong with power. The APC is damaged, the generators are broken.

The Captain asks how the xenos reproduce. You have full knowledge of how they do so.

The CL questions how a synthetic actually works.

"Synth, whats wrong with the power?"
"Generators and the rooms APC have been deserted, and broke down as a result. It will be working soon."

The Captain asks how the xenos reproduce. You have full knowledge of how they do so.

(Im guessing we're using CM's larva timer)
"The breeding starts with large eggs, which contain crab like critters that latch on to any human face they can find. They swiftly knock out the victim and impregnate them with a smaller critter. Now maybe 8 minutes in the victim will feel sick, and not too long after that, the critter inside will burst out from their chest, killing the victim.

The CL questions how a synthetic actually works.

"We're similar to humans, we have our own artificial skeleton, muscle and nerve system. Just improved with added strength and processing competence."

[ThesoldierLLJK]

I gathered your quirk was "I'm a davy crockett mountain man" but after your responses I get it.

You are a mentor, but you are known for the bit of meme/shenangian roleplay. Although it doesn't break rules, I think staff should be held to a bit higher standard, but that's not my call.

Just know as a synth the tomfoolery won't be tolerated.

I've seen you in various roles, so I know you can do the job

+1

[Sleepy Retard]

I'll remain neutral until I see you, or hear of you, RPing in game.

Thank you, i'll keep note of the criticism. I wanted to say the quirk was that but I tried to explain it rather than outright say it.

[Imperator_Titan]

Not fond of your recent roleplay shenanigans. Too over the top and not befitting anyone, let alone a whitelisted role.

What would you say is the worst/griefiest thing you've done on CM?

[KittyHawkpilot019]

What would you say is the worst/griefiest thing you've done on CM?

I think i have a note for sparring as an MP in June of this year. The worst thing I can recall, and the worst of my notes to my knowledge.

[Jakkkk]

That's seriously the worst thing you've done on CM? Fighting with some dude?
