IC Character Name: Noah Thompson
1) Please write a minimum of 3 paragraphs OOC'ly detailing why your character wishes to join the Combine Civil Authority and what lead your character to do so.Noah had considered the coming of the Combine a miracle. The way he saw it, the Combine had saved Earth from the chaos of the portal storms and brought back order to the world. He had always loved order, having a strong government watching over him and making sure he lived a good life. Still, the world was always in a level of chaos, in his eyes.
The Combine offered the order Noah had craved. They united humans under one banner, stopping the senseless violence amongst countries. The Combine brought peace to the world, at least for awhile. He enjoyed life in City 45, but as time went by he began to notice the looks of disgust directed toward the Combine.
The resistance was formed and the number of anti-citizens steadily grew. Noah saw these people as a threat to the order he loved. He stayed loyal to the Combine, reporting crimes and such, but he soon realized that he had to take larger measures to deal with the threats to the order given to humanity by the Combine. He decided that he would apply to the CCA to help further maintain order and peace.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)Dutiful, Logical, Loyal, Obedient
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.I have never been in the CCA before so this will be a brand new experience for me. I'm hoping that while in the CCA I can increase my role-playing skill. I have hopes of joining the GRID division as technology, IRL and for my character, is a fancy of mine. I hope to have fun role-playing with others and hopefully giving everyone I role-play with some memorable experiences.
As for my character, he hopes to quell the anti-civil behavior in City 45 as well as maintain peace, order, and civilized society. He sees the Combine as saviors who saved the world from chaos and gave order and peace to humanity after the chaos that erupted because of the portal storms. He believes that if he wants to prevent disruptions to the peace by the anti-citizens he must join the CCA.
4) Please provide a detailed back-story from an out-of-character perspective on your applying character. This section must be detailed and consist of a minimum of 300 words.Noah grew up in a small seaside town in California. His family was in the low-middle class, but still lived a comfortable and healthy life. Noah's father was a computer technician and taught Noah a lot about computers and how they worked. He would always work on his friends computers when they would get a virus or break in some way. The ignorance of his friends would sometimes bother him. He would also work with his dad at his shop occasionally. His family believed in order and following the rules. They also believed a strong government could provide peace and prosperity to its people.
Noah had always followed the rules and he was often bothered by those who didn't. He always thought that they were disrupting the peace by breaking even the simplest of rules. He would report almost anything he saw and was often frowned upon in school. He never acknowledged those looks, because he knew he was doing the right thing and making his parents proud. In high school he applied to become security guard's helper. He would patrol with the security guard during lunch periods and deal with rule breakers.
When he graduated from high school, he went straight to college to get a degree in computer science in hopes to get setup in a career quickly. In college he focused more on his studies rather than reporting rule violations, but he still based his life around order, which he had grown to love over the years. He kept to a strict schedule and almost never allowed for a change in that schedule.
When he graduated college he got a job as an information systems technician in a large corporation. However, not but a few years after, the portal storms occurred sending the world into utter chaos. Noah never quite adjusted to life after the populations of Earth were rallied into cities. There was no government and Noah, coming from a family that believed in a strong government, did not like this at all. He began to give up; he saw no future for himself in a world where people were cramped into cities without order.
The Seven Hour War only increased his belief that civilized life was long gone, but after the war ended and he was brought to City 45 he began to realize that the Combine had saved humanity. The Combine had brought order and the powerful government Noah had craved and it was even better than before the portal storms. Now there was one all powerful government that watched over Noah and kept order and peace.
However, there were some that looked at the Combine in a different way. A resistance was formed to free humanity from the Combine. Noah saw them as threats to the order and peace he loved and did all he could as a citizen to stop them, but it was not enough. He decided that if he wants to maintain order then he must join the Combine Civil Authority.

At that point the civilians are yelling "It's a firing squad!" and the CPs open fire killing and wounding many of us, but me and 2 others manage to escape to the Diadorna (or whatever it is called). As we hide out there one of the guys says he knows a way out and opens a secret door to the sewers. He lets us through, but stays behind to confront the officers.
