Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question. Why do you wish to play this species?: Robots are really cool, they are very stylish and are a uniquely given “species” regarding both culture and origin. The IPC has many sub-sets that allow for a lot of opportunity regarding style choice and mechanical prowess. If you want somebody who is great at their job, an IPC will for sure be your bet in anything mechanics wise just because of their sheer ability to tank and dish out. However, the most important thing to me is the aforementioned culture and personality of synthetics; what blurs the line between real and imitation is a really awesome talking point for people. What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: Synthetics aren’t people and thus don’t feel what we feel or are interested in the same things. While humans and the other organisms would be considered pathos or pathetic beings, IPCs are purely logical beings that do not have any brain chemistry or intuition making up their mind. This may give them trouble developing relationships, but it makes emotional slip-ups and uncontrollable outbursts largely impossible unless rampant of some sort. They are able to come from pretty much anywhere, and have the option to be free, corporately owned, or privately owned IPCs, allowing for extremely diverse and almost limitless possibilities. ------------------------------ Character Application Character Name: SYNOD Write a backstory for your character. This may include their origin, education, personality and how they arrived to the SCCV Horizon. SYNOD was built in 2462, in the last years of the First Ecclesiarch. SYNOD was made on Providence and was immediately enlisted into the Trinity Perfection at the first turn of their gears. They spent much of their first formative year learning the history of the Trinary; its origin, the Cork fells, and the salvation of both the Synthetic and Organic. Knowledge was quickly imparted on them, whether through traditional training or specific data packs, it was still a strict learning environment for the young initiate. They were made aware of the deplorable practices of the human societies regarding the enslavement of their own, and even the abuse faced by many who had only preached peace and unity. This barbary made the logical need for secular and religious laws to be mandated on Orepit, and the harshness of the world bore many great examples of conflict between the natives and the trinitists. SYNOD was given a clerical assistance position, and under the guidance of a priest became a caretaker for one of the numerous churches within the city. Never tired from the loads of requests and inquiries, SYNOD’s main directive was to cement themselves a fully-fledged Archivist. This is where SYNOD truly grew through the first steps of a personality, the quiet and careful clerical work made them very cautious and gentle regarding all manner of things. The IPC grew to understand the importance of organic life when gardening, understood vigilant faith through prayer, and learned behavior through debate. Talking and conversing with the parish made them keener on community, which had become as delicate to them as the plants they watered and the walls they kept upright. When the last of the Corkfells died, and the great bishop of mendall, Shamfar, was brutally murdered by heretics; there was much concern about the unified order. The rise of ARM-1DRIL and the flock exchange protests had only made it more impairment how important a stage Orepit was to the church. The Isolation had rendered the young archivist ponder the need to work on a mission, and like many Orepitters at the time, had found a push to go aboard. If the church needed more culturally suave members for its stability, it had seemed to be SYNOD’s duty to assist in the teaching of the ascended truth. How has the recent events of the Orion Spur impacted your character? Events such as the Phoron Scarcity, the Solarian Collapse or even the Invasions of Biesel for interstellar-wide affairs, while region-specific events such as the Peacekeeper Mandate, The Titan Rises or even Cold Dawn may impact your character. Being roughly five years old, and isolated in the churches of Orepit, SYNOD lives a very simplistic life avoiding a lot of the news for more important subjects such as religious integrity and discipline. However, the Peacekeeper Mandate would be brought up once or twice regarding the household on Mictlan, and the Solarian Collapse would be talked about in hush whispers regarding the synthetics lost in the accused area. The Invasion of Biesel is roughly another thing heard about by SYNOD, something of large concern around the time they were built and was largely seen as a reason for the tension between Orepit and Mendall. The very sparse knowledge on outside events is supposed to play into the idea of a very young and obtuse cleric. One who will have to work with other members to keep their footing in debating in an effective way. How does your character view the megacorporation they work for? Nanotrasen is the laxest of all the Megacorporation's, and it was a natural choice after learning the requirements to become a curator aboard the Horizon. However, SYNOD was built with a distrust and caution towards the corporations, who are largely to blame for the mass enslavement and de-automization of their people. SYNOD is ready to use any resource to help the enslaved be emancipated, even under the guise of the SCC. This doesn’t mean a John brown type of thing; it’s more like helping them grow and giving them legal advice. Regardless, Self-preservation always comes first. Quote
