With recognition of the Ecclesiarchy of Orepit on Orepit's page and in the Synth navbox to fall in line as its official title, this has now been implemented. Forgot to close this!

Hello! After discussion with the Human lore team, we've decided to deny this application. The recency of the timeline is insufficient for this community to have taken root. We do, however, have plans to work on Orepit. No ETA on that, so stay tuned for now.

Hi! Your application is accepted. You're always welcome to join us in the Synth section of the lore discord for any questions, ideas, or just to chat. Enjoy!

Hi! Application is accepted. Be sure to review the Hazel-related sections of the main IPC page so that you're up to date with requirements. The IC enforcement is subject to some review due to the Horizon's current mission in frontier space with zero outside communication. Stay tuned on more news for that. Otherwise, you're always welcome to ask questions on the lorecord or reach out to myself and my team!

With the minor correction to Pascal's corporate owned status and lack of wages, this application is accepted. Any questions, you can always reach out to the team. Enjoy!

Hi! This application is approved. Your WL will be up shortly. If you have any questions, I recommend using the #lore_channel on the main discord, the Synthetic section of the lore discord, or reaching out to a member of the Synthetic team (Myself, Hazelmouse, or Stryker). Enjoy!

Hi! We will be accepting this application. As you're aware, we will be making revisions and adjustments to ensure Jack aligns with our direction. We'll make an announcement once the lore canonization app is fully integrated live. Thank you for submitting!

Hi! Apologies for the delay. I will be denying this application for the time being. The minimum wait period before you are able to reapply is three days. That said, we strongly encourage you to reapply in the future. I know it can be disheartening but there's always a learning opportunity, too. We'll be reaching out privately to give you feedback on this app. With said feedback, we will need to see a new application character, to be fair to other players. Some advice that can help: 1. I would recommend looking at previously accepted IPC applications to see how other applicants handled them. Naturally you don't want to copy what they did or wrote, but having an idea across a few apps shows you some consistency in themes. This way, you have a reference for what you might need to include. 2. Take your time! Don't be in a rush to write something out. It helps to spend a good, motivated session writing it, take a break, then come back to it. If you re-read it over and make edits as you go, you'll steadily improve the quality with every pass. Ask yourself "Does this make sense?", "Does the sentence sound strange if I read it out loud?", "Could I rearrange a paragraph so it flows better?", "Am I missing anything in this sentence? Do I need to add a comma, period, etc?" and so on. 3. I would also suggest you can try to get friends or fellow players to read over a draft and see if they have any suggestions. In my experience, having another pair of eyes on something gives you an opportunity to be exposed to another point of view you maybe haven't considered. Incredibly important to know perspectives besides your own as a writer. 4. If you're unclear on any specifics in lore, you're always welcome to reach out to us! Preferably on the lore discord. If you haven't joined it, also a good starting place to read up on conversations or see ideas. Thank you for taking the time and good luck on the next!

Hi! Apologies on the delay with this one. I will be accepting this as a natural extension of the existing lore. Wiki changes may not be immediate so I'll be moving this to deferred acceptance in the mean time. Thank you for submitting one!

This application has been accepted. You're always welcome to reach out to myself or my team if you have any questions. You should have the WL shortly. Enjoy!

The choice was certainly one we didn't make lightly. All said and done, you had a wonderful app and remain a strong candidate. Its very much my interest to mentor writers like you and also my encouragement that you pat yourself on the back. If I had more than one slot, it would have been far easier. I highly encourage you to apply again in the future - Thank you for applying.

The Synth team certainly had to take some time to deliberate, we had excellent candidates this round. We have chosen to accept this application. Congratulations!

Hi! Apologies for the delay - this, unfortunately, arrived around a terribly busy time at work. The only thing I'd like to add as some food for thought is you want to frame your thinking of IPCs as a race capable of personality and the development of person-hood through their lived in experiences within the unique lens of something demonstrably not human - but familiar! One of their primary ways to learn is directly through observation and repetition. The question Stryker posed was in an attempt to better understand exactly who Alis is or who they can/will be with events that shape their understanding, change their perspective, or invite new angles to what comprises their identity. Application characters should be uniquely identifiable as individuals as opposed to generic, homogenized entities only separated by designation or serial number. The gradient - or scale - of how unique or developed they might be is flexible and something we take into consideration for the concept. We ideally want to avoid units that only work and have nothing else. Wherever Alis goes in their journey on the Horizon as you play them, keep that in mind for the experiences they will undergo and how it starts to cultivate a person over time, for better or worse. That said, this is approved. I will be adding your whitelist shortly and you should be good to go!

The Synth team is looking to fill our vacant deputy position! This is a person planning to commit for the long-term with the desire, motivation, and time to contribute for the foreseeable future. They will be working in a collaborative environment with the Synth team and lore team at large. Candidates should have the ability to work cooperatively with others, the patience/ability to compromise when ideas may not make it past the cutting board, and the maturity to resolve disagreements or handle feedback. Our ideal candidate will be mentored as part of our initiative to prepare the next generation of Synth writers. They will still need to abide by the application process for future openings, but its our interest that the team is trained as much as possible to leave the race in good hands.
