It seems I'm late for the party! But Brad has always been competent in the roles he plays, and I've seen him make little to no mistakes in what he does. He is great at making friends with people and a sure-fire roleplayer! Easy +1 and will love to see him as a synth!

That's quite the situation but Clark would disarm her, since he is the only capable one of stopping the immediate threat, then ask for an explanation, if the hostility continues he would restrain her and make sure that Mr. Davis is alright before engaging in any further dialogue.Originally Posted by Jakkkk
When I brainstormed the quirk I had the original intention of keeping the level of engagement with marines I do with Brad, but with a completely different character / attitude / set of rules, I'm familiar to multi-tasking while being able to maintain a conversation so I wanted to preserve that, since groundside chatter is few and far between (specially initiating it, I do find most follow through if you address them directly).
In-game the personality on a surface level would translate to a talkative, very non-threatening and reactive one to current events, keeping a low profile while doing many of the tasks expected of a synth, I want it to feel believable and part of the background while the fighting is going on. It's verbal engagements would be during the downtime in certain actions (welding / suturing / field surgery / backline while idle).
On a deeper and less often level (due to the fast paced nature of CM) the faith part of the quirk would shine in conversation or life threatening scenarios when there's less rush or synth obligations, such as waiting for the Alamo to arrive alongside marines, or a clutch evac off the planet after we finish stabilizing all the wounded and are sweeping through fractures, I want to humanize interactions with synths, a simple "Are you alright?" after an evac goes a long way to give players chances at a more memorable round.
I'm aware the quirk isn't very outwardly, but I do feel if it's consistent enough, it will grow on players and become it's own thing, specially the implications of a synth that shifts questions about it's nature without lying in an environment where everyone knows it's a synth, (as the USCM would have announced the use of a new synthetic aboard the ship + corresponding ID), unlike it's lore where it's kept covert.
Thank you for the words, I do want to remark that the moment others are reliant on me to do something. I always take it seriously and do my best to prove that trust isn't misplaced (I know Brad as a character can be conflictive at times, but part of the reason I'm applying is for the change of pace in how I roleplay and the idea being that one person CIC can always trust to carry out their plans is very attractive).
Harry my friend...... at this point the only PhD I have is "Crate philosophy" in which I ramble 40 pages about the importance of color coding crates and their contents to achieve the perfect balance between compactness + ease in fiding what you're looking for.... that nobody cares about
Gotta throw in my vouch for Brad. Extremely competent in requisitions, roleplays well, and has a personality that will thrive in the synth role. He will be a better robit than I ever was.

This application is accepted. Brad is a great player who has confidently answered everything thrown at him, and has a decent understanding of synths. Your dialogue feels like its straight out of the movies, which is what we want at the end of the day.
Have fun with the role!
