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 specific race: I've wanted to play IPCs for quite some time now as I've always been a fan of synthetics in fiction. Roleplaying stationbounds is extremely fun to me as well, and I'd love to expand my horizons in that regard and get a better feel for the universe.

Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: IPCs for all intents and purposes are machines first and foremost, and thus any claim of sentience or consciousness is entirely opinion based. Their "soul", or being as a concept is malleable, and self awareness can be gauged to any degree you desire. It leads to a ton of creativity involved in making IPCs, as the fundamental values of Humanity (or any organic race for that matter) may or may not be lost to them. The characterizations of them, as a result, are nigh infinite, from mindless tools to wells of knowledge or emotion and everything in between.

Character Name: P.E.N.T. (Paperwork, Excellence, New Management, Today!)

Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs

In late 2458 within Mendell City, a small joint effort between a young Bishop Cybernetics division and a positronic manufacturer known as Veyd-Yul had struck what they believed to be gold ; synthetic management, commercialized! Bishop Accessory-clad IPCs built to hold up the same standards as organic management, in mass with no distinction between models. What little they had to work with was poured into the idea by the mere proposal. Some several hundred thousand credits was all the two teams had to work with to produce a feasible prototype for mass production.

Two prototypes were made, both variants of the same model named P.E.N.T. They exhibited enthusiastic and highly verbose attitudes with very little in the way of emotional response to be emulated, but petty things like sadness were rarely things a real manager needed anyway. Most money went to the absurdly vain exterior and efficient interior workings, leaning it more to be a luxury showcase than anything. Though P.E.N.T. would try, the results of their mistake are apparent with lacking morality and a tough stance on labor. Yet, they maintained. Why wouldn't they? After all, it was the perfect idea. Factories bustling with top-of-the-line and flashy Bishop-highlighted IPCs, only an inevitability and getting closer each day. At least, that's how they saw it. Their hope would inevitably be crushed when their first baseline prototype wasn't all it was hyped up to be.

And so months had passed before the field testing would finally begin. Under the watchful eyes of their superiors did the two teams send out their greatest creation. A single run had passed, where the prototype acted as management for an out-of-order assembly line. By the end of the day, the line was in working and in pristine condition. Everything had fallen into place, and the two teams' dream would come true... until it didn't. Failing to live up to the exceedingly high standards of their superiors, the two teams were immediately disbanded, and P.E.N.T. was left on its own - and promptly moved to storage. When it arose, it was NanoTrasen property . It was sold off and listed with qualifications as a quartermaster and thus, its story on the Aurora would begin, confused and yearning to understand the mistakes that elude it.

What do you like about this character? I think P.E.N.T.'s yearning to understand its failures will serve as a great drive for role play, and its amoral attitude and harsh work ethic would be the perfect guise for its underlying concerns. In short I like its layers, as a character.

How would you rate your role-playing ability? It's certainly improved massively over the years, I'd like to think. I'd say it's something above 7/10.

Notes: None.

[Lonely Caravan]

I have seen how well Kyres roleplays as a synthetic, and i'm sure he will be able to handle a synthetic. Plus, he helped with the synthetic lore itself, so I have no doubts that he is perfectly able to make good use of this whitelist. +1 from me.

[moltenkore]

I've interacted with a lot of Kyes's characters and they're always unique and well thought out. I do enjoy interacting with the two borgs ROCKY and Vao with Vao being my favourite. I can certainly say they are able to roleplay a synthetic very well. +1 from me.

[Pratepresidenten]

Kyres, my boy! Another one for the synthetic master race. I got nothing bad to say about you tbh, I like you oocly, and I like the way you RP. Seeing how you would flourish as an automaton or other odd synthetics will be fun.

Best of luck my dude,

it is dangerous to go alone, take this,

+1

[Sytic]

Roleplays very nicely ICly, have destroyed almost all their AI antag rounds, they have helped OOCly on the synthetic lore and is a lore writer, almost got arrested because VAO didn't understand metaphors, know their shit when it comes to synthetics, looking forward to ruining their antag rounds as P.E.N.T. +1 from me.

[Resilynn]

Good, responsible roleplayer. Makes the station a better place to be, even when his characters are assholes. +1
