OOC Name: It varys from Soviet to Soviet Eagle to Communist Weeaboo, just the like.
IC Character Name: Johnson L. Phillips
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.
Johnson L. Phillips murdered his father when he was only 13. His father would beat his mother constantly, abuse her, cause her to wake up to Black Eyes and Swallen Lips in the mirror every morning. John snapped, retreiving a butchers knife from the kitchen and approached him. He shouted at him for carrying a knife around the house, called him a mindless fuck, cursed at him, then the Neighbours saw the splatters of blood against the window. A lot of it.
He passed through court quickly, the judge came to no hesitation to sentence him to life in prision, starting in Juvinile Prision and then eventually transferring to a standard Prision once he was 18. John was devastated, he would never see his mother again, his family, his girlfriend, anyone. He walked out of the building in hand-cuffs with armed gaurds on both his flanks, News Reporters with Microphones asking questions, Camreas aimed at him and Microphones on Poles hanging above his head. He kept his head lowered as he walked in shame.
Time passed, shit happened. Come 2016, Present Day, John had a long think. He'd been thinking about this for a long while, a very long while, and had decided on it. He would redeem himself through the Combine Civil Authority, he would pay back his crimes by defending peace and attacking the common criminals of the street. Little does he know of the real CCA...
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
- Deticated
- Killed before, thus he knows the feeling and won't hesitate.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
OOC'ly
Having done roles in the Combine Civil Authority before, I don't expect it to be much newer, but I stil expect it to be just a challange as the last time around. The CCA requires detication and hard work to get somewhere, if anywhere, and all the work can and will eventually pay off. Hopefully I will experience new things this time arond.
IC'ly
My character expects it to be a challange, but a challange he must push through in order to redeem himself. He thinks that by serving for the CCA he will repay the debt for murder. He does expect a Challange, yes, but he's sure he can do it. Dead sure.
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.
I remember the cold nights with my fingers scratching at my ear-drums, I remember the yelling, the screaming… The blood… It all piled on, and on, and on. The blood was my mothers, spilt by my douche-bag of a father. God help me, I’d do it all again if I had the chance. My mother would scream until the verge of consciousness then pant heavily, he was torturing her.
It started when I was only 5. It started very simple, a hard slap across the side of her face, and slowly worsened. I swear, he came up with a new tactic every year. Strangling, Water boarding, Punches and Kicks, by the time I was 11 he’d o it all to me simply to get to her. Like mother like son, we both shared abuse.
It sparked when I was 13, enough was enough. I remember my left eyelid twitching, the veins in my arm bulging to the surface as my fists clenched. Like nails against the Chalkboard I drew a Butchers Knife from the Knife sharpener, he clearly planned to use it later tonight as he had been sharpening it for hours. I turned slowly, as if for the effect, and walked towards my parents room.
My dad had just been coming back to retrieve the knife.
“What the fuck are you doing with that knife!?” he cursed. “You mindless fuck, pass it here, I’ll be punishing your mother for this outrag-“
“Stick it up your ass, dad.” I insulted, almost taunted.
“What the fuck did you say to me…!?” he asked, outraged.
“You heard me you fucker.” I answered. I glared at him and he glared at me.
“You bitch…!” He cursed, taking a step forward with his left foot as he bring his right hand to a fist and sent it soaring towards me-
-and I shot my right arm forward, the Butchers knife cut cleanly through his right testicle and out the other end. He roared in Agony, I saw my mother out the corner of my eye with her right hand over her mouth, an expression lighting up her face saying ‘Yes! Fight, please!’ I nodded towards her, hinting a slight smirk, then wiped it clean off my face as I continued to stab him numerous times in the Abdomen. He fell to his knees; blood trickled from his lips, only the palms of his hands stopped him from colliding with the ground.
I grabbed him by his hair with my left hand, he was kneeling before me. It was a guilty pleasure, but I held every moment close.
“Now, now, where are your manners… Anyone would think your abusing my mother…” I taunted. I kept a straight face. He refused to talk. “Apologise and I may let you live.” I ordered. He remained silent. I rested the tip of the blade against his neck, pushing slowly. He clenched his teeth, before shouting
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry for everything!”
“If you say sorry one-thousand times, I’ll forgive you.” I felt evil, but I was loving it. He burst into tears, shouting ‘I’m sorry’ as fast as he could at the top of his lungs. In the meantime, I stabbed the knife into the side of his head again and again and again until his screams were drenched in his death. Not long after the police arrived, sirens whirring, lights spinning. I was arrested straight away, being the one covered with blood and with a knife.
I was flown through court. Within a week I was sentenced to life in Jail. I secretly regretted it but I made out I didn’t care. It was all worth it in a sense; my mum wouldn’t have to deal with his shit anymore. I had life in prison, who fucking cares, I might as well have no regrets.
Now, to my convenience, you’re the one being held by the neck over a cliffs edge and so happens to be a woman abuser. Just your fucking luck a bolt of lightning from the alien fucks hit the prison, eh? I made it clear to everyone that I get to woman bashers. I’m going to hold out on that.
He leant back, lunging at my stomach with his feet. I stumbled back from the blow as he scurried to the cliffs edge. I wiped my mouth with my forearm.
“Fisticups it is then.” I taunted, he aggressively stepped towards me and threw a punch exactly the same to my dads. The thing is I already knew the counter to this.
I brang my foot to his male reproductive organ swiftly, he grabbed them in agony. I took a step forward and drove my right fist clear to his gut multiple times, he grabbed onto my collar as he fell to his knees.
“I warned you.” I referred, bringing my right fist back. Then we were both falling, something had propelled us off the cliffs edge.
I woke up on a beach, large machines with three legs and a tanned appearance patrolled the area like kings looking over their territory. I was being dragged by something, it made numerous mechanical whirrs, I made a slight peek at his three, blue and black legs. I knew shit had just hit the fan, and if I’m dreaming, I’m making a game on this.

OOC Name:
GeeMayn.
IC Character Name:
Gary Denison.
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.
Gary started off in City 18, angered at Doctor Breen, but forced to show respect for the Union. (Obviously, if he was disrespectful, they would blow his brains out.) Gary spent the first few years of his new life working at a Water Treatment Plant. For 3 long, dragged-out years, he stood at a terminal, changing the flow of the pressure valves. It was the same routine for Gary, wake up, eat a ration, go to work, eat a nightly ration, and sleep.
His last day in City 18 was the most exciting, and dangerous, time of his life. An unknown man hacked into the Nexus's security, which shut down the power fields, letting exogens into the City. Many lives were lost that very day, and the remaining amount of citizens and Civil Protection members were transferred to different cities. Fortunately, Gary landed in City 45, which is where he currently strives to making a living today.
Since then, Gary was the mid-point type of fellow, he became been neutral for the remaining amount of years. Gary needed more protection ever since the City 18 incident, nearly killing him. Gary decided to apply for the C.C.A., Gary doesn't want to be a mangled, messy corpse if City 45 has a related incident. Gary could also use a lot nicer food and beverages, he could use the strength after six years of practically starving to death, as well as the training with weaponry, close combat, and main patroling duties. Mainly medical training, after seeing the units and citizens die in the City 18 incident, who could have survived if they were medically assisted.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Cooperative
Kind
Useful
Wary
Honest
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
Gary knows the Civil Authority is as tough as hell, he knows most to all of the Commanding units are strict. As well as the tough training. (Even though they're mainly breach training.) Gary knows he will and will always have to dedicate his life to the Union, but once again, he has nothing to lose after an extremely tough past before the Seven Hour War, but that is currently out of the question.
Gary has it in his head that Civil Protection are the protectors, not the terrible monsters. You might be asking Gary, "Gary, weren't you neutral?" Well, Gary is neutral because he still enjoys the help from resistance members, they offer him real beverages and food. He counts on both of them, but he never will become a resistance member, he's never a good liar, and he cannot defend himself if he is caught for questioning. Gary finds being a C.C.A. Unit a lot easier, and less likely to be caught, which is the exact reason why he chose the C.C.A..
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.
Gary was born in 1985 in Fort Collins, Colorado. Gary was born with a loving father, Jason Denison, and his lovely mother, Lauren Denison. Gary's first few years of life consisted on toys. Gary was home-schooled durng his preschool years, his family was poor, and could only afford small toys for him. Jason Denison worked as a 7th Grade Math teacher, and his mother was a waitress at 'Joe's Crab Shack'.
Sadly, during his kindergarten year, his mother died due to leukemia, which neither him, his father, or his mother were aware of. Fortunately, Gary took it fine, he knew his mother would tell him to move on, which is what he did. Unfortunately, Jason took it too hard, he started to become addicted to alcohol, which left Gary alone by himself.
During Gary's first grade year, he found a terrible suprise. His father shot himself with a gun. Gary grew depressed and confused afterwards, he moved to an orphanage, and the children in his classes made fun of him for being an orphan. Fort Collins was a cruel place for Gary through his school years, Gary never made friends, and ones who wanted to be his friend were the ones who were the general nuisance of the grade. Gary grew non-social, usually stating the wrong things at the wrong time. Gary couldn't understand why such kids would insult him. He was a kind child, and he was very cooperative if he was assigned a partner, he was always honest, he was very useful. The children still tourmented him, harrassed him, broke every bone in his body, words did hurt, a lot.
During 2004, the portal storms aroused. Gary was forced to move to an urban area, such as military-protected Denver, due to incredibly strange monster arriving in the rural areas. The first days of the portal storm involved major destruction. Bridges and buildings fell to the ground due to the major portal waves. Denver was still unsafe, the citizens were moved to a major World War Two bomb shelter during a portal wave. The portal waves could last months, continuous aftershocks is what led the city to rubble. The citizens set up camp in tents after the major destruction of Denver, Colorado. Gary spent 6 years in the same tent, being a socially-awkward civilian in the camp, still feeling unsafe even with the military standing guard at the borders of the city.
The year was eventually 2010, the combine nation eventually travelled from Xen to Earth, they eventually made it to Denver in the 2nd hour, taking control over it. Three-Fourths of the campers were murdered in Denver, only a lucky hundred were moved to a hidden bomb shelter, as the combine nation murdered the outsiders. A few of the lucky survivers were transferred from or to City 35, which used to be the decayed city Gary lived in for 6 years. Gary was transferred to City 18, which begins his journey from after the Seven Hour war.

Back in ShitRP, I was a sole resisting man nick-named "Stick", for being as thin as one. Stick traveled around the slums of City 18, resting upon the old Italian restaurant, which had a visitor inside. Dying for food, I enter inside, the man states he hid a knife behind a brick in the wall. Foolishly, I take his word and slide the brick out, since he needed the knife. And then, 'WHAM!'. Stick was smashed with a crowbar, and held hostage in a hidden room in the restaurant. Stick was freaking out to the max as he was tied to a bed frame, with a skeleton and a corpse in the same room with him. Fortunately, Stick was able to cut the rope free, and climb over the fence barrier the crazy kidnapper created. Stick had to leave a man behind who was later thrown in with him, the man was murdered, and Stick escaped the madhouse. It was a GREAT deal of fun.

Sesmo Iridmo
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.
During Sesmo's life, he believed that he never truly served a purpose in life, he thought he was meaningless, worthless, but after the combine took over Earth, Sesmo saw a light at the end of the dark tunnel, years of idleness could be relived, and Sesmo knew it. He was going to try and serve the Combine, in any way possible.
Less then a year after the Combine invaded, Sesmo had saw it as his duty to try and serve the Combine in a better way, but other people had not, Sesmo was an outcast in his pre-Universal life, and in his current life in City 45, he was pushed around, jeered at for being a "loyalist", but Sesmo looked down on them, one day, he would become a Civil Protection Unit.
Having a good, long look at the City was one of the things that stirred Sesmo into being a loyalist, he saw other citizens who were loyal to the Combine being bullied, as you may call it, by other citizens, he saw anti-civil activities being carried out, and Sesmo could do nothing to stop them. This is why Sesmo wants to be a Civil Protection Unit.
To make life better.
For everyone.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Sesmo is a lawful, forgiving person, who never breaks his promises.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
OOC'ly
I'm expecting being in the Combine Civil Authority to be quite hard, as there are many things such as radio codes (Terminology?), punishments (Verdicts?), contraband etc. I think it'll be quite fun, but I think some RP situations will be more enjoyable and immersive, but possibly even harder. One thing I'm hoping I'll never have to deal with are some dumb lolwebuls mingejumping about, but hopefully that will never happen, anyways, I think being a CCA Unit will be a lot more fun for me, and I'll (hopefully) get to take part in more roleplaying situations.
IC'ly
Sesmo saw it as a chance, like a dim light, in a pitch-black room, he had thought it out, knew it would be difficult, knew it might not happen, but it would be better. a lot better. It would be a tougher way of life in some ways, but a better way of life in other ways, he wouldn't have to deal with the people who nearly drove him to suicide, he may even try and help them, make them see the way the Combine really are, not killers, not murderers, but saviours of the world. Sesmo is willing to sacrifice all for the Combine, knowing that it will be hard, but he must serve his masters in anyway possible, finally accomplishing at least something in his life.
Possibly.
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.
Sesmo was born in the former Yugoslavia, or to be more specific, Kosovo. As a young child, Sesmo was
bullied and beaten by his father, a raging alcoholic, until he fled his home at the age of 13.
Around the age of 15, Sesmo was taken into an orphanage, meeting the first and possibly his best friend, Josip Patin. Life was fairly well for Sesmo for the next few years, he attented a local school in the weekdays and would mainly sit in his room and read books at weekends.
A few years later, Sesmo was sitting in the main room in the orphanage, watching the breaking news on the television; Yugoslavia had broken into war. Later that month, an almost empty truck had driven to the village, taking young men to war, and killing any Croats in the village. Sesmo was terrified, not for himself, but for Josip, who was a Croat. When the men came to the orphanage, they started questioning people, inspecting young men to see if they could fight in the war, Sesmo was one of the many taken to the truck, sadly, his friend Josip was taken to another truck, this was the last time Sesmo would see him.
During the war, Sesmo yet again befriended some people, many of them boy soldiers such as himself. When the violence escalated, Sesmo could take no more of it, he had seen his friends blown apart, shot to death, killing themselves, all of this had torn Sesmo apart. One night, while in camp, Sesmo was awoken by explosions, and he had a horrible flashback, of his mother getting beat by his father, his friend Josip getting shot in the head, his father screaming at him as a child.
Sesmo had to get away from everything, or he would go insane.
And he knew it.
Sesmo crept out of the sleeping area, taking only a tin of army rations and a small knife, and ran as fast as he could into the forest, he had no idea of the time, didn't know where he was, until he stumbled out onto a road. The days past by slowly, as Sesmo ate scrapings of food from bins, the ground, begging for money, all of the time he trudged along the road, which soon turned into a highway after many, many miles.
Sesmo had been walking for days, weeks, trying to get away from his nightmares, and only when he came across a signpost, did he realise where he was.
"Czech-German border - 9 Kilometres"
Luckily, a passing truck picked up Sesmo, no idea where the driver was going, Sesmo soon fell into a sleep disturbed by horrible flashbacks.
At least a few days later, Sesmo woke up, got out the truck quickly and looked at this surroundings.
He had no idea where he was.
After hearing some people talking, he realised, after some thinking, he was in France.
Sesmo made a small living, running a garage, earning just enough money to go into a early retirement in his small cottage, where lived in privacy and isolation for many years.
Sesmo was sleeping in his bed, in his small house when he heard people screaming, he got up and looked out of his window, seeing people running down the streets, gunshots echoing across the village, Sesmo heard a loud noise of wood breaking, and he barely had enough time to turn around when everything started to fade away.The rumbling and shaking of the train woke Sesmo up, he sat up and looked around at the people in identical jumpsuits, rubbing his head, Sesmo couldn't remember a thing. The train slowly grinded to a halt, and Sesmo stood up like everyone else, and stepped onto the train platform where he was temporarily blinded by the light.

OOC Name: Kiruclanz
IC Character Name: John Rane
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.
John Rane was the average Citizen. He never was put in Detainment, always obtained his rations on time. The people he hung out with, however. He would always switch roommates, he would lose up to two roommates a week. And have 3 new roommates a week.
This was due to City45 being an awful place filled with criminals so his roommates were always put in detainment.
Every time he would just be leaning against the wall, drinking a Breen's Water. When a thug just walked up to him, grabbed it from his hand, and ran off with it.
When John first switched Cities, this made him angry the first few times thugs stole objects from him. Then he just got used to it. He told Civil Protection a few times, of course they never found the thugs. John was starting to get sick of all the Crime, so he waited for the next application cycle, and applied for Combine Civil Authority.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
John Rane is somewhat nice, backs his friends up sometimes. He is Lawful and Trustworthy. He can use a gun good enough, though he has never held one. He is also very Intelegent and a very, very fast runner.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
If John Rane's application gets accepted, he can be a good Officer in the CCA force. He'll be good through training, and maybe be promoted a little early. Of course he'll just issue a few beatings a day. Ask for permission on almost everything over Radio. He'll follow orders, and do what ever it takes to make these Citizens Civil.
John will NOT go easy on his friends. He will treat them just like any other Citizen, mostly because no one is supposed to know it's him. That's why he'll be wearing full body armor, and a voice changer. John will NOT go crazy with power, he'll just be like any other good Civil Protection officer. He'll make it if he gets accepted.
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.
( Only 300 words? I think you're going too easy on the players, but okay. Mine is 791 if that's okay :P )
CHAPTER 1 - John's Child Hood
John was born on July 5th, 1992 in Florida, America. He was a happy infant, but of course he was crying the first couple seconds of birth. He learned how to talk at one year old, walk and talk perfect sentences at two years old. When he three, his mother and father sent him to school very early.
A few years later he was in second grade, his grades were so good he skipped a couple grades all the way up to fifth grade. He was getting good grades up to Ninth grade, when he started struggling. He just barely made it by and went to 10th grade. He was only 15 years old when he graduated school. He Graduated with a Bachelor's Degree on an Online College when he was 19 years old.
CHAPTER 2 - Before the 7-Hour-War
John got a job as a Middle School math teacher at age 20 during the year 2011. He was pretty successful, he had a second job at a Factory that makes Metal Tools. He lived in a big enough house, two stories tall. He was married to a nice woman that same year, her name was Amanda.
John had plenty of friends to drink with on weekends, he went to parties if not every day, then every other day. He was pretty happy, he always kept touch with his friends and family. Him and his wife were thinking of having children, but they both agreed that they should wait a few more years.
CHAPTER 3 - The 7-Hour-War
During November of 2011, some reports on the news of some sort of hidden Research Facility in New Mexico had some sort of Resonance Cascade which caused aliens to invade earth. Most of these aliens were controlled by a slave ruler named Nihilanth. They mostly only attacked the Facility. A couple months later, the effects of the Resonance Cascade left some permanent damage. A Portal storm, it was small so Earth had nothing to worry about, though they were still keeping their eyes out.
One race of aliens from the alien planet were set free after a man destroyed the alien ruler on the alien planet. They were called, the Vortigaunts. John even had a friend who was a Vortigaunt. Some decided to stay on Earth and live peacefully like Humans. A week later the Portal storm grew larger, and people started to worry as it would send out electrical waves every few days, and it would destroy houses and kill people. John did not worry, as he lived far away from the portal storm.
A couple weeks after that weird UFOs starting coming out of the Portal storm, and sending out some sort of Tripods. The Tripods walked around the portal storm, the US military kept watch. The next day the Tripods stopped, and they started shooting at the Military and innocent civilians. More portal storms grew around the world as more Alien Ships and Tripods came out and attacked the World. This started the world at war with another planet.
Although no one els knew, but at the same time the same aliens were invading the old Planet named, Xen. Xen was the planet that invaded the Facility. Except this time, it was ruled by a different race, named the Combine.
John did his best to hide, but after the war was over they found him and took him. Along with his wife. John was seperated from his wife and put into the Cities that the Combine had taken over. He was put into a City called City 28, It was a good city. He didn't have any friends, he was too upset from being seperated from his wife.
CHAPTER 4 - After the 7-Hour-War
In the year 2015 John was sent to City 45. It was a bad city. Thugs, criminals, everything. He would always get objects taken from him. After awhile he tried his best to make friends, sense he was done being upset over his Wife. He was your average Citizen.
He always got his rations on time, except everytime he opened it, it was the same cycle. He opens his rations, takes out a Breen's Water, he gets beaten down and gets the Water Taken from him, the thief gets beaten down by a CCA unit, then the water is destroyed in the Process.
A year later was the same as before, Except John was not used to all the crime and thugs anymore. He wanted to enforce it without being detained. He applied for the Combine Civil Authority, so they he can beat Citizens when they disrespect him instead of beating them then getting detained. John was pretty sure he would make it, sense he was never detained or have gotten into any trouble.

Few years have passed, Marcus is in his adult ages, he was turning rich from robbing people from each city to each city, it went on. The police couldn't even find him for years and still hes doing the same, how does he do this you ask? Well, he changes his clothing and starts to put on glasses to hide his eye color and lowers or highers his voice, including his emotions to hide the indentity of himself. He met a girl named Emily, he cut the bullshit, spended a few bucks to buy a new german shepherd puppy, they then kept the puppy until it grew older and older. Then one dream while sleeping near his wife Emily. Marcus went on the CN Tower, it fell down due to a unknown attack, Marcus was in it. He saw the tower topple down and hit many buildings, debris flew in many directions. He jumped out the window of the tower, as he flew like a plane, he was flying to the ground until....... Marcus gasped in fear, he woke up from this slight dream and thought "It was only a dream... It was only a dream..." He took a deep breathe and fell back to sleep, still thinking "What if this happens to the city?"
A few days have passed, before the incident of the attack at night at his house, he fell a tragic heartbeat rise faster in his heart. He was transfered to a city.

Chapter 1: Early trouble in the early days.
When Marcus was a kid, he'd been bullied by a guy in school, but then one day... His offical target named 'Kreig A.K.A Top Dog' was talking to a few girls by the lockers, he approached them with a agressive look. Kreig looked at him with a serious face and asked "Watcha' want you shit-4-brains?" Marcus, just stared at him and asked back slowly, "I don't want anything, maybe you'll want a taste of my fucking fist!" He then thrusted his fist againsts Kreigs face and then did a good uppercut to his belly. Jake fell to the ground with agony. Marcus then got ontop of him and started furiously punching his face until blood poured from Kreigs nose, he screamed "Stop it! Aaaggghhhh! Stop!" Marcus finally stopped, looking down at Kreig he then spitted in his face and before leaving, gave him a strong kick in the ribs. He walked off without looking back, people stared at him with fear as the bell rang.
Chapter 2: New life
A few years have passed, he then got a vehicle and also met a girl named Emily and had a new German Shepherd named Sparky, who all lived in a big home. He then seen two gangsters beating up a man, he walked up to them and clenched his fist, he tapped his brown fedora and gestured his tie, finally looking at the two beating up the man, he grabbed the gangster by the shoulder and twisted him around, looking into his eyes he said "Eh, bastard. Ready to meet sharpie?" He took out a knife and shoved the knife into his hand, he screamed in pain. While screaming, the gangster tried preying the knife out of his hand, Marcus then kicked him in the stomach, he fell down onto the ground. Marcus twisted his body around and swinged a hard boot at the gangsters jaw, knocking him out furiously while Marcus's brown fedora fell off. Marcus, looking at the gangster running away, Marcus then yelled "Better run away!" He looked down at the man, it was his brother named Jake Altonio, he grabbed him by the hand and raised him up to his feet, he hesitated slowly. "I saved your life, brother." Jake Altonio, reply "Thanks, Marcus..." They both walked off, seeming to talk about what happened in there daily jobs.
Chapter 3: The attack
The attack began at night, Marcus was woken by his wife Emily, while Sparky barked at the door, they ran outside the house and Marcus said "Holy shit...". Dropships dropped off Overwatch units while Civil Protections booted the doors houses. Chaos happened in the city. Marcus yelled "Get in the truck!" They both got on the truck including Sparky the German Shepherd. He fired up the ignition and slammed on the accelerator. A rocket flew infront of them and missed them, hitting there house as it made a path through the hallway. "Shit!" "Attempt administration!" "Get them!" yelled CPs and OTAs. They drove through the wrecked hallway, they crushed through the wall with debris hitting there windshield as it cracked the window, Emily was screaming "Marcus! Watch out!", his German Shepherd too was barking at it. Marcus, fighting with the wheel drove into the streets, crashing into a CP as it tumbled under the vehicle, as AR2s and MP-7s richochetted off the metal. Emily was hit in the shoulder and belly screaming "Ophm! Oooohhhhhh.... Marcus, I'm hit!" Marcus, yelling back "Its alright, Emily! We are almost out of here!" They both made it on the traffic and stopped at the gasstation, Emily was pale, she fell to the ground while Marcus looked at her. "Marcus... Take care of Sparky..." "I will, sweetheart...Like I did to you." Marcus brushed her hair with his hand while Emily smiled, then she choked up blood and died. Sparky whined and howled in the air. Marcus had tears pouring down his eyes. "Its alright, Sparky... Shes... Gone..." "Heh... Aint this a bitch... This only lasted 4 hours... wonder if its going to happen anymore..." He rised to his feet and made his way to the back, he saw a Spas-12 and cartridges, he grabbed it and loaded a few cartridges, pumped back the pump as a dead cartridge flinged to the ground. "If they want war... They'll have war..."
Jake came in too, carrying a Magnum 357 with Sparky to his side. "Your right, bro... Its war... and I know what happened to your wife..." Sparky barked happily, wagging his tail but then raised his ears to attention as CPs and OTAs yelled "Requesting further assistance..."
OPTIONAL READING - EXTRA - Chapter 4: The capture
He woke up, travelling in the train. He looked out the window, lightning thundered and saw the flash of his wife Emily, waving at him from the window of a abandoned house, he then blinked his eyes, she was gone, nowhere seen in the window. He checked his suitcase and saw C45 apparel, he put in under his seat and slept. He dream't... "Brother, run!" Yelled Jake. He ran for it, splitting up from his brother, he saw his German Shepherd run away, fleeing. He was injured while running but then slipped on the ground in the dirty leaves, he dropped his Spas-12, exhausted, thinking "I ran... for a long time... I didn't get a fuckin' unit killed!" He checked his watch, the clock started ticking as it stopped on '12:30PM', it used to be '6:00pm'. Rain poured over him as he smelled blood trickle from his wounds, he went into a unconsious state, but then he heard his german shepherd Sparky barking, there was blackness everywhere but then he woke up from his dream. The train halted to a stop, he left his suitcase in the train as he sat down, rubbing his eyes. "Where am I..." A girl with blonde hair grabbed him by the shoulder, "Your in City45, Sir... Wake up. You've been sleeping for 6 hours, you must be hungry... Lets go to the Ration Centre to eat..." She lended out a hand and smiled, Marcus grabbed her hand and was lifted to his feet by her support. A man was with her, he hesitated. "Shes right, lets go eat, shall we?" Marcus said "Did you see my brother Jake?" She replied "Yeah, he was somewhere in a restricted zone, but then I was transfered here in part of the City, he must be somewhere far from this part of the city..." Marcus breathed in relief and then looked out the window, and seen her wife far on the distance of the tracks. With a smile, she said to him that no one could hear but him. "You have a life ahead of you, Marcus... Use it wisely..." She disappeared into ashes.

His Apartments broken into and ransacked, over and over, Instead of handling his own problems, he reported it to the Local CP to see if they could fix the problem. There was a stop in the Robbings for a few days, But the next day, he found a dead body in his room, The person was shot. He quickly called the Civil Protection, When they got their they detained Justin and took him in for questioning, but later on let him go finding nothing linking him to the crime. Justin had enough of this city and was thinking about moving to a new city with low crime rates.
Justin went ahead and Decided to move to get away from all the Crime and Corruption in his Previous city. He ended up in City 45, were he decided it was good enough to make his Start. He got a room in the nearest hotel to the Train Station and got a job at a Local Cafe to save up Tokens to keep his Room.

OOC:
Im expecting being a part of the Civil Protection will be tough as in getting others to RP correctly with you. But mainly i think it sounds really fun to Roleplay as the "Law Enforcement" of the Half Life 2 World. Being in charge of the Citizens and making drastic decisions. I know it will be hard training, And learning the right ways of the Civil Protection, but I think the time will be worth it. I want rise in the ranks and become the best I can be, it will be very tough, but Like I said, this is all worth it.
IC:
Justin is expecting the training to become a Civil Protection Unit will be hard and tiring, but personally he thinks it will be a eye opener. He expects this Job will come with a great responsibility. he knows he cant pick favorites over his friends and go light on them. He thinks that joining the Civil Protection will make him who he wants to be, Powerful, and helpful at the same time. He wants to protect and serv his city, Even if it costs him his own life.

During their journey to find a new safe place they could call home, The travled for a week, coming across destroyed towns, and dead things they've never seen before, then they came across a large city, with people that looked happy and safe. But when Justin and the 2 others entered the city, it was one of their biggest mistakes ever, They couldn't leave, they were forced to eat food that tasted stale, The water was nasty and grey and smelt of disease. But since Justin and the 2 others couldn't leave, they rented a room in a hotel and started to home school Justin, teaching him everything they knew.

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.
My character would like to join the Combine Civil Authority because of his previous experience's with 'normal' life and the group of people who call themselves 'The resistance'. After the seven hour war he spent some time in a Combine camp for "higher than average IQ subjects" where he was taught to operate and fix all forms of combine technology, be it remote controlled scanners, consoles and various other pieces of machinery and equipment.
After spending roughly eleven months at this camp, he was being transferred to a combine outpost for 'technical duties' when a 'resistance' ambush destroyed the convoy he was travelling in and killed the armed escort. He was captured by the resistance and subjected to two weeks brutal and savage interrogation at the hands of these 'freedom fighters'. He was deprived of food, water and sleep; he didn't see the light of day for an entire fortnight. After fourteen days in captivity, he finally escaped when a combine strike team began an assault of the rebels hideout and a battle began. In the confusion and chaos, he slipped away into some nearby woods.
After an entire day of walking, he eventually reached the outskirts of a city where he managed to effect entry to after some sneaking around the city's edge. As he moved deeper into the city he learnt from various overheard conversations that this city was City 45. After spending some time there he decided to put his name down for the Combine Civil Authority; they were, in his opinion, treated better, received a higher standard of accommodation and food and he hated the resistance for what they had done to him. He wasn't going to stand for such barbarity.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
First off, boring and tedious work whilst the lowest rank of all; spending most time on foot patrol or following around higher ranking officers, carrying out their instructions. It will, however, allow me to enhance my roleplaying experience and increase my roleplaying opportunities and the opportunities of other players around me as I will get to see what it is like on the 'other side of the fence', if you will.
Once my character attains a higher rank in the CCA I expect to begin to find my role as a civil-protection officer exciting as I begin to gain authority of lower ranks and increase the amount of power I have amoung my fellow units and also the general public and also begin to not only enhance my own roleplaying experience but also the roleplaying experience of the others players around me and take their experience to a higher level than I could when I'm a lower rank; more power - more things to do.
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.
Alex was a fisherman in New York city and spent his life catching fish. Although this may sound boring to most people, Alex loved it. It was one of his passions in life and he couldn't get enough of it. He was taught to fish by his father from the age of seven but his father sadly passed away only a couple of weeks before the seven hour war. During the seven hour war, Alex spent his time running around trying to find his family in the chaos and confusion of the combine invasion. His efforts became halted approximately 3 hours into the invasion when he was trapped in the sewers and spent a total of three days down there. Starving, alone, wet, not knowing what the hell was going on. For the first time in his life, he was properly afraid.
After three days of being stuck down there and living off his own waste, a combine search team found him and took him for psychological evaluation and to have his wounds checked out. Alex was found to have a 'higher than average IQ' and was sent to a 'special' camp. Whilst he was there, the combine attempted to train him and many others to handle their technology and apply it in new ways. Alex was taught to use, take apart and repair a wide range of combine technology such as consoles, scanners, weapons etc. Alex was there for almost four months when he was suddenly transferred to a combine outpost at an undisclosed location, with several others, where he was going to assist the combine units on the ground with, in layman's terms, 'tech support'. However, on the way to the outpost, the convoy he was in was ambushed by a large group of rebels. The combine sustained heavy losses and had to call for reinforcements but by the time they had arrived, the rebels had disappeared, along with Alex.
The rebels took Alex away and interrogated him about what sort of 'work' was done at his camp and why was he being transferred around. The rebels treated him as if he was combine. They starved him and beat him and deprived him of sleep or any contact with the outside world. After four weeks, the rebel hideout was attacked by a combine elite strike force. In the confusion, Alex slipped away into the countryside where he spent an entire day on the run from both the combine and the rebels. He was sick and tired of being 'piggy in the middle' and decided to take a side. A side that made sense to him. After what the rebels had done to him, he wanted nothing to do with them. He still had to find his family to find and how was he going to do that living in caves, hiding all the time, being constantly hunted by the combine. He made his choice and he stuck with it.
After spending a whole twenty-four hours on the run in an expanse of wood he eventually found himself on the outskirts of a city. On his way into the city he learnt that this was City fourty five; and this was his new home

IC Character Name: Alex Simon
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.
At a young age, Alex was walking down a ally when she ran into a group of boys all standing around something. they were kicking and beating a small shape. She screamed at the boys and threatened them till they ran off. she then saw what it was, a puppy barely even a year old, now a bloody mess. it was dead. that was the first time Alex saw how evil humanity could be, she could never for get that day, and ever since she has been disgusted with man kind.
When the combine first took over, Alex wasn't sure about them. she didn't really like the whole oppression thing that they were doing to the people. she even considered joining a local rebellion for a little while. but then one event changed her life and how she looked at the Civil Authority, forever.
It was then Alex walked out side her apartment, she just stepped out side and BAM. out of no where, with no requests, no demands, nothing, a man just runs up and shoots her in the arm. the last thing she remembered was a highly decorated officer running up to her and then, nothing. she woke up in the Citadel feeling much better with her arm wrapped in a bandage, the officer was standing by her and asked her if she was ok.
It was at that moment that Alex knew why the combine were here. Why the Civil Protection did what they did. Humans are like animals, and need to be constantly watched or they will just wipe each other out. She decided to leave everything behind and not stop until she could join the force and become a part of this greater good.

Alex expects hard training and even harder work. endless hours into the night of studying and living the law. she is fully prepared to give up what ever she needs to, to join the force. though she knows it is hard, grueling work, Alex truly believes what the CA are doing is right and wants to be a part of that.
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.
“Haha, lets get outa here, this dumb thing is dead anyway” says the boy as he and his friends run off, leaving Alex alone with a small thing she stumbled upon, laying in the ally. She goes over to it and tried to see what it is in the dim light. To her horror, its a dog, a small one, probably just a puppy. Its all bloody and its leg and neck are twisted in a funny, unnatural way. Blood drips from its mouth where the boys had kicked and beaten it. Its one ear and tail are torn and its other legs are apparently snapped in half. Then, it moves, its head looks right at her while its neck is still all twisted another way, its hazel eyes bore right into her like bullets and shes stunned. The entire sky goes red like blood and the ground starts caving in around her.
Then she wakes up.
Alex's life was never easy. She grew up with no father, in some back water little place. She had a always working mom, and 3 younger siblings. She only knew the world for its evil and mean people.
In high school, Alex was very athletic. She played volleyball, basketball, and her favorite, lacrosse. She loved to run. She started varsity her freshman year, and was team caption her junior and senior year. She lead the team to 3 district championships and 2 state championships. Her coaches said she always gave no less than 150% in everything she did. In school, Alex would take 2 gym classes a semester, and classes like CAD and engineering. She loved to invent and just be creative.
Alex never really had any friends though. She hated how boys would just go out with girls just to get in their pants and how girls would say there were your friend just to talk behind your back. She hated how people were in general. She was always suspicious of everyone and was afraid to trust anyone. And then she always had nightmares. Ones from her childhood.
After high school was over, shit hit the roof when the war started. She was always told that the combine-or thats what she heard them called- were winning the fight. That she shouldn't do anything dumb like run off and join the army, like she wanted. It was over pretty quick. Earth surrendered and that was that. At first she wasn't to sure about the combine ruling. She even considered joining the local rebellion. That is until, one day, a few years later.
Alex just walked out of her house to get the daily rations for her family. She looked down the street and saw a man approaching. She was about to just walk out, when the man pulls out a gun and BAM. He then takes off down the street, and her brother who was in the window starts screaming for help. Then a decorated officer came running down and Alex blacked out. She woke up on a little bench in a dimly lit room. Her arm felt better then ever, and she saw the officer standing on the other side of the room, talking on his radio. She knew she was in the citadel, it was just like she heard it was, though for some reason she didnt feel afraid. The officer asked her how she was, if she needed anything. And suddenly, she felt at home in this place. Someone asked HER how she was. Someone actually cared.
After she left to go back home her mind was set. She knew that she needed to become a CCP, because they were the ones helping the people, not the rebels. The rebels were just supporting the chaos of before. She was going to do something with her life worth while.

IC Character Name: Mat Jefferson
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.
Mat Jefferson was born in 1980 in London. He was bought up well, he had a good life, nice parents, lots of friends and could have what ever he wanted. His parents wanted him to train as an accountant like his dad but Mat had other ideas. His life's dream was to join the Army. Inside he was cold and calculating.
In 1996 Mat joined the British army. While training he was noted as the best unit in the squad. Once command noticed this they pulled him from front line training and put him into a special ops traing course. He was trained in all types of combat and after 4 years of training was an expert in arms. But he had yet to have in real world training. After 3 years of deployment into special ops across the world the portal storms began. At the time Mat was in America in new Mexico. While finishing his op and fighting off the new species trying to kill him he was lucky enough to witness to Black Mesa explosion.
Mat was called in as a special unit to fight the new creatures on earth, Mat loved killing them, he felt that they were no good to humanity and should be destroyed at all costs. But after several years of fighting the Combine arrived. Mat was ordered to fight them but something in him said don't. Mat admired how they worked as units, their technology and everything about them. He was only good coming. During the 7 hour war Mat secretly fought humanity. Using his skills and knowledge of human pockets he secretly helped to take down city's. He never let the combine know, he never though they would understand.
After the 7 hour war Mat burned his uniform and equipment and got rid of his guns and ammunition. He then followed suit with all other survivors and went under combine rule. When the CCA was first set up Mat wanted to join but felt he needed a better understanding of them first. Now after a year of observing and admiring Mat is ready to join.

My character expecting the CCA to be hard work, there will be a lot of training and work and it will be hard at times but overall he only See's good from doing it. He thinks it will help him keep the city under control and the combine in power which is what he wants. He knows it will be hard, he knows he will go through every kind of pain he can think of but he knows that it is worth it and that he will be able to do it.
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.
Mat Jefferson was born in London, England in 1980. He was born into a wealthy family, he was always treated well, could have what ever he wanted and he had many friends. But all of this meant nothing to him, he isn't a man of material things. His parents always tried to force things on him, mainly they wanted him to become an accountant like his father. They gave him maths lessons everyday, mat loved them but not for the reason his parents wanted him to love them. The maths lessons allowed him to calculate everything he did down to the last movement. Once he was 16 he dropped the bombshell on his parents that he wasn't going to be an accountant but was joining the army. His parents didn't take it well, they ended up throwing him out but his mother who still had some compassion gave mat a large sum of money to ensure that he wouldn't go homeless. After this Mat hated his father and would try anything to get back at him.
In 1996 Mat joined the British army. He went throw intensive training to become a front line soldier. But while in training a commanding officer noted his excellent skills, he was by far the top of the class, he followed every order, bullied every shot and beat every squad record. Mat was taken out of soldier training and placed into training for an elite team. He was told that over the next 4 years he would be trained in everything from tactics to hand to hand combat. After 4 years Mat was classed as an expert in special combat, he passed his training with flying colors. After training he was dispatched on a serious of secret missions.
After 3 years Mat was on a special operation in New Mexico, he had to take down a VIP while he was traveling on the highway. Just as he got into New Mexico portal storms began. Mat saw the new creatures coming out of thin air, Mat shot every new thing he saw and even though he was now fighting his own little war he still managed to take out the VIP on time. While fighting his way back to his extraction point Mat was lucky enough to see the Black Mesa complex explode into a mushroom of rubble. Mat thought nothing of that, he was too distracted by the aliens trying to kill him.
Over the next few years Mat was flown across the world, not only taking on normal operations but also operations to rid the earth of its new pests. Mat loved it, the fact he was able to kill any pest he was while still having to plan operations. He loved how he had to actually use his mathematical mind rather than just see what he had to do. As cities closed up Mat didn't stay inside, they didn't fell right to him. They were safe but he could see, they were like fish out of water in there, someone just needed to come and cook them.
In 2009 that something came. The combine came in and took each city that was just sitting their, filled with citizens waiting for them almost. Mat watched as the combine destroyed earth with amazing efficiency. Mat saw only good coming from the combine and decided he would never fight them. During the 7 hour war mat was on a full on tactical op, deciding it would be pointless doing it he decided to make his own op. Stealthily help the combine. He knew if the combine saw him with a gun they would kill him, helping them or not. So using his stealthy skills and a sniper mat was able to help take down resistance for the combine allowing them to just go into the city and take it with ease. He took down Soldiers to VIPs in charge of the city's. After 7 hours, the white flag was put up by humanity. Mat decided to get rid of all his army gear, he burnt his equipment and uniform and threw his gun down a chasm. He then proceeded to a rally point and was captured and taken with all the other surviving citizens.
Mat was taken to City 17 first, an OK city, a lot of resistance because of who was there. Mat wanted to help but couldn't, he knew it would get him killed. Mat decided to watch how the CCA worked, he wanted to join but first had to work out how they ran, he watched them and learned. In 2015 Mat was given a relation ticket and sent to the train station to go to City 45. As he approached his train he saw something quite odd. A man with glasses, he though it very odd as people don't have glasses any more, its an imperfection. He gathered that the CCA would sort him. He boarded his train and headed to City 45. To start a new life and join the CCA.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I expect the Combine to show me a little around and teaching me basics i need to know as a CP while i'm a
UNIFORM. I think they will be supportive and help me. I don't think being a cp will be a dance on flowers and it will require some skill, strength and grammar. Also, if you want to be a CP you need to learn the laws, the contraband list and all the codes. Like 11-99 Officer needs assistance! and such.
John thinks that the training CP's must do, will be like the Army. He expect it to be hard and exhausting. He sometimes think that they need to swim through ice-cold water and such, altough he isn't really sure.
When he looks at a CP he sees his or her's mucles, thinking: "Boy, must have been tough going to that training to get that build."
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.
John Harley was born in New York 1985. He had a mother, father and a dog. John always wished for a brother or sister, saying to his parents almost everyday: "Mom, dad. Why can't i have a sister or brother?"
His mom and dad thinked about it, but bought a dog instead. As John grew up he got a part-time job at a super market not far away. Then, one day his dad got sick. REALLY sick. John had skipped his job and school for a week, looking after his dad while his mom was working. As John sat at a chair by his dad's bed, he could hear his father whisper: "John, i don't think im going to hold out anymore." As his father finished that sentence, John turned off the TV and said to his dad: "Relax dad, you are going to be alright." John's father was getting weaker and weaker by the second. Then his father whispered really low: "John, my son. This is the end for me. Take good care of your mom." John's dad slowly laid his head at his pillow. "Dad? DAD! Wake up!" John took his hand on his father chest...Not a single heartbeat. "Dad...I can't believe it. You're dead." John paused for 10 seconds and said: "Rest in peace dad." John slowly went to the phone calling 911. Two weeks later John and his mom stood by John's fathers grave. John laid a white rose at the grave and lit a candle lantern. At school John just sat at his chair looking at his desk. When someone asked him about something John just sat there. After replying his name 3-5 times John then snapped to attention. John had quitted his job and at home, the only thing he did was do homework, play video games, eat, sleep and think about his dad. Everyday when John woke up it was a picture of John as a 5 year old with his dad and mom in the background. Sometimes he would pick up the picture and swipe his finger over his dad and say: "Hello dad. How is it going up there?" Some years after the Seven hour war, John was placed into city 45. Hearing about people get killed by crazy murderers and kidnapped. One time when John walked into an open apartment, another man stood in the apartment. As John tried to get out, the man blocked his way. As the man closed the door and locking it, he tied up John and put him on a table. As the man walked out, John was left behind in the apartment. John cried for help and some CP's heard it. The CP's rescued John. John was already loyal but was a little unsure about joining the CP's. After the CP's rescued him, John was very sure about joining the CCA. So he went and filled his application.

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.
Why not? A warm place to stay, food, Its a dream, clean cloths that fit. A place to stay and the ability to help people! I've seen people request and request for no response.. I'd like to be the unit that responds and helps! For the greater good, to serve the benefactors is a true dream! Simply amazing.. Also the CCA is a place were engineers as my self are truelly apreciated! After all, the Citizens dont apreciate intelect (From what I've seen they dont have any) There is a place for my character in the CCA, ICly and OOCly. I highly enjoy the sense of order in the CCA. I want to be apart of the bigger picture! Not a disposable slave any more. Some one with a purpose! I want to do somthing beyond picking up that damn can!
I've learned a lot about the Do's and Dont's of the CCA; Example: 648 running into the CCH breaching doors (881 did that too.) My character will enjoy the CCA Almost as much as me; building scanners (Maybe) Keeping those civvis in line.. Guard duty (Not truly fathomed like: Sweet Gaurd duty!) Training Judgement Waivers instead of looking at a wall for 20 minutes.. Exogen breaches instead of being in the CCH watching... Ordering a citizen to pick up a can or something.. Why does my character want to join? Well after he was brutally attacked by the Marines Melovent (Rebel group) And then brutalised by the Brotherhood of Freedom, then five minutes later had a whole wall peppered at him by the VIII Legion. He has many reasons to hate the Resistance and none to hate the Combine; Why should he? They invaded big deal its been happening for centuries; The Roman's did it and no one is bitching about them. Invading armies.. Off topic; My character wishes to join the CCA to help others, better himself, and eradicate the resistance.
He wanted to join the first day he saw them; Simply amazing, keeping the peace, the stability.. Flawlessly. He wants to be apart of the most succsessful take over in history that has stayed in power with 0 difficulty.. Why should't he? Being in the CCA is an honor beyond messure.. A pleasure on a day to day basis.. A light in the grim life he is forced to live.. For now.. To serve and keep the peace! His life hangs in this application.. Besides the point! His desire to join is brighter then the sun.. Just.. To be in an establishment with an actuall jain of command! Some order! Objectives.. Simply amazing.. A real difficult question is why not to join; Wait there isnt a reason why not too.. So I am.. After the several attacks upon him by the resistance he made his choice to join.. It wasnt a difficult choice; Live in the streets or be in the most powerfull military ran society in history.. I'll go with the latter.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I expect it to be highly structured rigorous military environment.. It wont be fun and games; I expect and I know this, it will be serious enviroment all the time, I'm glad for this. It will be extremely strict with difficult training. I know my life will be on the line on a daily basis; I understand this and will use caution.. I am also aware I will most likely be attacked by Anti-Citizens in my line of duty.. This is another fact I'm willing to accept.. I also expect no unit will be truly kind or welcoming. That's fine. My character is a cold person any way; He isn't warm in summer. Anyway. He's seen recruits get called from Patrol and never come back out...
He doesn't wish to be one of those; He'll respect the rules to his full ability. He also knows cowardice is not tolerated. Kill you were you stand for being a coward (From only what he has heard) There is a lot he doesnt know and some he does know. a lot of Secrecy in the CCA.. a lot he doesnt and most likely will never know. He wont dig.
You know what he will dig however? Rebel's graves. Thats what he believes will be exspected. No messing around. "Herp I'll run into the CCH!" Unit 000. *Pins blackmark to his vest*" "You're a shame to us all" However; My character has multiple units charge into the CCH shot open doors and stole some items. What? My character duely noted that failure down and not to repeat history. My character is the bare witness of the raw destruction the Combine have wrought. My character has noticed Recruits no longer get fire arms; he only wonders who messed up. He's also seen units (And various idiots) Fall off the OW tower and die. The Units howerver, armour and such survived.. He still exspects danger; pain and possible death.

IC Character Name: Zack Tybalt
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.
After seeing his father mugged and eventually shot, a young Zack had developed an undying hate for crime of any form. Today, he was just transferred to city 45, and with an unusual case of OCD, hated every minute of living there. The rebels, the petty crime, the lack of order. He despised this city. He felt the city despised him. He thought he would never find a place in society.
One day he was mugged by a rebel needing money for contraband. While he is a good fighter, this rebel was obviously trained, and got the best of him. All Zack felt was one pound after another as the man pressed his knees on Zack's chest, punching his face. Then, a ZAP. Then peace. Zack sat up, looking at a Civil Protection Unit repeatedly beat the vagabond rebel with a stunstick. He admired the CPU, who was a perfect example of a peacekeeper. Zack then walked home, knowing the Civil Protection would keep the streets clear of thugs.
After a long day at work, Zack collected his rations, then set off for his apartment. He saw a woman being beaten brutally by some groggy old man. Quickly picking up a soda can, he threw it at the old guy. Enraged, he turned around to see a fist well aimed at his face. Precisely two seconds later, the same man was lying on the pavement in a pool of blood caused by his broken nose. The bruised woman asked Zack if he was alright. He didn't answer. Instead, he set off straight for the Combine Civil Authority application center.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Lawful, Fair-minded, responsible
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
OOC: I have experience with both Rebel classes and CP classes under my belt. Out of the two, I like the CP role the best. Having someone run to you for help is a hell of a lot better than making someone run for help. Spawning with a tool used to take life away is a great responsibility, and knowing that somebody's safety rests within it is a feeling RP was made for.
IC: Having OCD, Zack will find himself patrolling constantly, making sure everyone is in check. He would find it stressful at times, but regardless of the obstacles, he belongs on the Civil Protection force. While he may overreact to petty crimes, he will hesitate to shoot the suspect dead, as his childhood experience has traumatized him. Zack will be a valuable asset to his unit, and will always use his power as a CP responsibly.
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.
At age 7, Zack Tybalt witnessed his father stabbed to death by a man wanting money to support his cocaine addiction. Since then, Zack Has despised crime in any form, even scolding his friends for driving over the speed limit. He took refuge in an abandoned hospital during the Seven Hour War. Surrendering to the Combine, he was allowed to live and was transferred from city to city, eventually ending up in City 45, a crime ridden atrocity, at least, when Zack got there. The civil protection inspired Zack, who was a target of thugs because of his scrawny appearance. His apartment was nothing more than a single room with a light, toilet, sink, and bed. He read the newspaper regularly, and learned how the Civil Protection got top notch accommodations. He would consider joining, but for the moment would keep his current job. It was true, Zack wasn't the strongest of people, but he did know how to fight. With short brown hair, dark eyes, and a head standing 5'7 from the ground, he would be intimidating if he weren't so slender. He never bulked up through puberty, and people have taken advantage of his unusual circumstances. Zack took Karate when he was five, but his methods of fighting are more of a street style. Zack has been to prison once, before the Combine came, for throwing a rock at someone for running a red light on his street, breaking their window.. Whilst in prison, he was kept in custody for an unusual period of time despite the crime on account of getting into a fight with the other criminals who showed no remorse for their crimes. This hardened Zack, who would never forget leaving the place designed to hold those he despised. All of these events are why Zack Tybalt is filling out his application this very minute.

IC Character Name: Randy Johsa
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.
Randy Johsa was in a miserable life wondering around the world and was then suddenly picked up by a patrolling CCA group. He was then later transferred to city45 where he could only think of things getting worse. After a few brutal days of tolerating and refusing the CCA's authority he got too weak to put up with it. He then decided to try and work things out the other way and things began to change.
Randy Johsa began reporting mishaps that were going on around the city from abusive language to physical assaults. Once he became fairly recognized by some CCA's and maintained a clean record of 0 points he was going to get a "loyalist band" to wear proudly on his arm. He continued to try and serve the CCA's with all that he could because he figured out that if he can continue to stop -not all- most of the problems that things would run a lot smoother. He began coming up with a sort of "schedule" to do his own watching patrol. Although it was not an official patrol route he wanted to help other's see why we should follow the CCA's authority, so he became what other's referred to as a "rat" but was considered a "maintainer of peace" by the CCAs.
Randy Johsa not only decided to help the CCA but he also tried to help the citizens that occupied city45. How he did this was by talking with them on how problems will be eased if we only started to trust them more and if we didn't fight them all the times. He talked others out of trying to challenge the CCA into a fight, or disobeying them by going into sector 6. He would do this day in and day out so that he could save others from destruction. He did these actions to save others from themselves.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Loyal - He stays true to the CCA by telling only the truth and reporting things that cause only problems.
Precise - He chooses his words very carefully and strategically so that he can persuade even the most stubborn.
Survivalist - He plans out when and how much food he should eat or preserve so that he can continue to survive another day.
Perfectionist - He can't stand a misaligned word or object that's on display -or anything for that matter-.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I expect the CCA to be a thrilling experience and a chance to show that I can show authority over players that don't play games properly. I want to be able to allow other players to enjoy themselves while they play on the Catalyst server and that the game is played fairly as well. I also expect that I'll be able to learn how things work as a CCA and so that I'll be more briefed on the sort of things about a CCA. Once I've gotten the skills and knowledge I need to know about being a CCA I plan on trying to move up the ranks and show others the sort of example they should follow. This is what I expect to get out of when and while being a CCA.
Randy Johsa hopes that he can prevent others from stumbling into the thick of things and making wrong decisions. He hopes that he can accomplish this soon so that he can help maintain peace with the other CCAs. He hopes that he can gain trust and a dependence with other CCAs so that he can have support when he needs it and when other citizens need it. He also wants to move from just being a loyalist to someone that can get more things done and be able to show that anything can be achieved when cooperation is shown to those around you. This is why Jonny Harkwate hopes to achieve, so that things can join into a "coexistence" of some small or big sort.
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.
Randy Johsa was devastated when he found out that the world was being taken over. He tried to hide from everything and was successful. While almost everyone he knew was either killed in the fight or detained... he was left with nothing left. He wondered around for 2 years until he found some survivors and decided to join him. He shared his knowledge with them and in return received invaluable information. These helped him to contribute to each others survival for many more months. But the time came to when the "combine's" (as they referred to them as) came and found them. Jonny managed to make another escape but to only find himself alone... again. He then spent the rest of the time surviving by a 3rd point perspective and not actually being in his own conscience. He then stumbled upon an abandoned warehouse full of materials that could keep him surviving for years. He spent a long time of his life there and still keeping his skills up with survivalism and studies. He also found some weapons that he could use to fend off any unwanted presences but he was grateful as he never had to use them. This is because after about 2 years (if it was actually 2 years) he set out again hoping to find others. He spotted some rebel groups, but they were in the midst of a firefight and clearly not holding out. He met up with a few that managed to stay hidden and was able to trade supplies for awhile until he had an urge to leave as he didn't like the idea of being in the presence of rebels when a greater power was at their doorsteps. He continued on for countless days scrounging around for food and clean water. That's when the day came when a few CCAs came and detained him and transferred him to city45 where he continued to survive for who knows how long.

Denied. Resisting CCA with heavy malcompliance isn't a smart move. Also, your character was "wandering" and had not been transferred to a city. This would imply that he was in a non-Combine civilized zone. The UCA does not operate in non-city zones.
I just read over my CCA application and I see where you are making your observations that I wasn't as clear on: When I say wandering around I mean like the place in HL2 on the coasts there (or somewhere more near cities like in episode 1/2) and so the combine took him and "dumped" him into a city (I'm a little bit short of knowledge on the HL2 world but if you can understand what I'm getting at when I mean somewhere around a combine position and/or a city of the sort). When I mean refusing the combine's authority what I was getting at was this:
–verb (used with object)
1.
to decline to accept (something offered): to refuse an award.
When I was saying that he was refusing, I meant he was having trouble accepting the fact that the CCA made the rules not him (as he's been living by his own laws for quite some time), I didn't intend it to be him straight up refusing to "Apply" or something, it was more of the "challenge" for him to fit in. I'm sorry if I was vague by just a little bit but if you can please re-asses my application as it would mean a great deal if I can be a CCA. Thank you if you took your time to read this: -RJ

IC Character Name: Matthew Wells
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.
Matthew Wells has been living in City 45 for as long as he can remember (that is, because they wiped his memory upon transfer.) Before that, he was a promising student at a Combine-sanctioned learning facility. Matthew is a near-god with computers and electronics in general, and was allowed to own these devices. Little did he know the Combine were just using them to locate anticitizens, who were using pre-Combine computers as a means of secure communication. By giving Matthew a computer specially modified with Combine equipment, these communications could be intercepted and traced.
He continued to live his life in the facility, and was actually quite content. Because he was such a great asset to the Combine in the area, his living standards were nice, and he was allowed to socialize with other people who lived in the facility (who were all great minds, which, like him, were all being exploited). He made several friends. However, his life was about to change drastically.
The rebels in the area soon figured out they were being traced, and found out it was coming from the facility at which Matt was living. They attacked and "liberated" the facility. Only some citizens were freed, others were either killed in the crossfire or sent to live in nearby City 45. Matt was one of these people. He wasn't very happy about being sent to City 45. He had none of the benefits he had at the facility, and hated the place in general. By signing up for CCA, he could serve the cause he thought was right, and make sure that all anticitizens paid for their crimes.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Smart: especially when it comes to technology, but is quite knowledgeable in many subjects.
Pro-Combine: always saw things the way the Combine wanted him to.
Follows orders: does not hesitate to perform any action, and does anything he is ordered to very thoroughly.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I am expecting the CCA to be a chance for me to roleplay a "tough-cop" while also making the server a better place to be. I expect the CCA to be a challenging yet fun role to try and fill, and am willing to be the best cop I can.
Matthew expects the CCA to be a demanding job, but is prepared. He expects to be given orders which he will follow and won't question anything he is asked to do.
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.
Matthew was jolted from his sleep at the sound of an explosion. It was close, not the ka-thud a distant explosion makes. It was a ear-shattering, abrasive sound that shook him physically. It was even so close that it caused the room to shake, putting the thin, rusting metal bars supporting his bed out of their misery. He yelped as his bed toppled over and dumped him five feet (he had the top bunk) into the floor. His face broke his fall.
"Shit!"
His roommate was already standing half-way out of the door to their room, watching as several Combine troops scrambled down the hallway. He stepped back inside, turned on the lights and shut the door. He was starting to get his issued clothing on when he noticed Matt lying on the floor.
"You okay, man?"
"No, I'm not, Evan. I think I broke my fucking face!"
Evan hopped across the room, still getting his pants on, and helped Matt off the floor. Then the sirens went off.
"That's not good." Matt said.
In his entire time at the facility, Matthew had never heard the sirens go off. Usually they just issue warnings through the PA. The shit must have really hit the fan this time. But they knew the drill, at least. If the siren went off, they were supposed to head down to the nearest shelter. For them, that was all the way across campus.
Matt got his clothes on while Evan looked out the window to see what was happening.
"I see gunshots. We need to get to the shelter, man!" Evan shouted. The explosions were becoming more frequent, the gunshots more prevalent.
The two left their room and started down the hallway. They rounded the first corner and froze when they saw three armed men enter the building through a hole that had been blown in the wall. Suddenly one of the men was shot through the throat, tainting his teammate behind him with blood. The man grabbed his neck as he was choking and fell over backwards. The other two men raised their weapons and fired in the direction the shot came from.
Matt took a turn that led to the main courtyard, gesturing for Evan to follow him. They emerged into the courtyard to find a full-blown firefight in progress. The facility guards were outnumbered. Evan and Matt made a dash for the shelter. Evan rounded a corner and shouted,
"There's the shelter! Come o-"
Matt was paralyzed as his face became soaked in the blood of his best friend. Evan made a sick gurgling sound, and fell backwards into Matthew's arms. Matthew couldn't speak. He pulled Evan away from the corner. Then his eyes rolled back into his head, and he died. Matt dropped Evan and started to run when something knocked him out. When he woke up, he was in a train. A voice came over the loudspeaker.
"Now arriving: City 45. Do your part and enlist in the Combine Civil Authority. Report anticitizen behavior."
Matt knew what he was going to do here.

Well the Civil Authority is one of the best jobs you can have in the cities, so that is a bonus. The Civil Authority probably have a better lifestyle, and more money. The Civil Authority get to carry weapons, which would generally make them more safe from the potential dangers of the cities. The Civil Authority always have something to do, whether it's patrolling, or guarding checkpoints.
Also, her father was a police officer, who taught her a good deal about the law, and taught her to respect it. This eventually led her to detest criminal behavior. He groomed her from a very early age to be a police officer, but she never made it to the academy before the Combine occupied the Earth. Her father inspired her to uphold the law, no matter the cost.
Finally, she was training to be good enough to go to the police academy before the Combine took over, and is still in shape. She hates crime, and the Civil Authority is a way to punish it. She went to college, and has a masters degree in criminology, and it would be a shame for it to go to waste. She also wants to follow somewhat in her father's footsteps, and she admired him very much.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Lawful, determined, passionate about her beliefs, responsible, disciplined, honorable, focused on her work, intelligent.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
Similar to being a police officer in many aspects, the discipline, and the responsibility is still there, still patrols and procedures. I expect not much respect from citizens, but rather a masked fear, though some will be bold enough to speak out. Not much respect from the higherups, being just a recruit. Much of the time will probably be spent patrolling and stuff like that.
It wil probably also be tough, given that recruit are given little respect and little equiptment. Not to mention it will be dangerous because of the rebels, which seem to be getting bolder all the time. It will probably also be very interesting, having all the procedures, and policies, not to mention the things that happen around the city that are pretty strange.
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.
Her father was a police officer, and her mother was an english teacher. From a very early age her father taught her respect and discipline, this doesn't mean her father was stern or mean, just that her father taught her how to be have, and how to treat people. From an early age it was clear she was smart child, she excelled at learning. Her parents were very active in her growth, and development, but her father was sometimes busy with work and couldn't be there.
She had a good childhood growing up, her parents weren't rich but they could afford most things. She got a good education, and made plenty of friends. She got good grades, was active in the comunity, and played a good deal of sports. Her father had been grooming her to be a detective when she grew up, and taught her everything he knew about crime, law, and procedure. It was from her father's lessons on crime that she developed a distain for crime.
Not only was she on the tennis, and track teams, but she was also in the chess club and student government in highschool. She got almost straight A's, and was in all honors classes. She was in eleventh grade when her father retired after taking a bullet in his shoulder durring a bank robbery. Her father getting shot didn't deter her from the police force though. She graduated with a 3.8 G.P.A. and went to college.
She went to college practically for free because of her scolarships. College was some of the best years of her life. She stayed out of trouble, did all of her homework. She worked toward getting a major in criminal psychology. She ended up getting her major in four years by taking semesters of college in the summer. After college she got a job working for a security company as an intern.
She worked hard at her job, and she was good at it. Not only was she working hard at her job, she was training for the police academy, planning on going there once she finished her internship. She went on daily runs, went regularly to the gym, and ate a healthy diet, her father taught her to take police trianing very seriously. She was almost finished with her internship, when the Black Mesa Incident happened, and the Seven Hour War followed just after. She was smart, stayed indoors, and peacefully gave herself up when the Combine took over.
She soon found herself in City 4, just another citizen. She thought that the combine occupation had at least put an end to crime, but soon discovered that was not the case. She changed Cities every so often and eventually landed in City 45, but everywhere she went she was eventually branded a loyalist because she reported crimes commited by other citizens. After seeing poster about Civil Authority, she decided to sign up, it was like being a pre-war police officer, she was already fit in anticipation of becoming a cop and staying in shape after the occupation, and she was already branded a loyalist, so she decided to sign up.

IC Character Name: Jackson Doe
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.
During the seven hour war Jackson didn’t even attempt to resist against the Combine because he knew the human had no chance. He was relocated to city 70, a rather quiet city with a small population. Jackson always followed the orders of the Civil Protection, thus he never got into any problems and never earned any points. If he saw any suspicious acting people he reported them to the Civil Protection right away to show his loyalty to the combine.
His reputation was very bad amongst the local resistance; they gave him the nickname “Betrayer of Humanity”. But this one particular day changed his entire mind about the combine. That day he was attacked by a resistance member that was mad at him because he got his best friend amputated; the rebel was holding a sharp butcher knife at Jackson’s throat and said: “Well, what are you going to do now, traitor? You gonna call the cops?” while laughing sarcastically. The rebel was slowly starting to press the knife into his throat.
Jackson was screaming in pain and his throat started bleeding, but suddenly a Civil Protection officer popped out of a corner and flicked his stunstick on. The Officer started punching the rebel unconscious and took both, the unconscious rebel and Jackson with him. The Civil Protection patched Jackson’s wound up and let him go. Since this day Jackson has a scar on his throat and is more thankful to the CCA than ever before, but he moved to city 18 to make sure this kind of an incident would NEVER happen again.

I have never been in the role of a CCA officer, so it would be an entire new serious roleplaying experience for me. It will be a challenge and I will have to learn many new things like all the radio commands, the verdicts, etc. I will have to deal with many new roleplaying situations from a whole new perspective. Also, I’m hoping I will never have to deal with mingebags.
IC:
Jackson is expecting hard training and many orders from higher ranks. He thinks it will often be hard work, but it will pay off. Working for the CCA is also his way of saying “thanks” for saving his life. It’s a challenge he is willing to take.
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.
Jackson Doe was born in America on the 28th August of 1986. His mother, Caroline Doe was 30 years old when he was born. His father, John Doe died in a firefight 2 months before his birth. John Doe worked as a police officer. During the said firefight 4 heavily armed criminals were robbing a bank and killed 10 people including John Doe and his partner Matt Johnson. They were already shot at when they arrived; they had no time to call for support. All of the criminals were armed with AKs. They both were hit into the stomach and bled to death. 30 minutes after John and Matt died other police officers managed to arrest them.
When Jackson was 6 years old his mother married a brutal man called Jack. He worked in a factory and was 42 years old. At first he seemed very friendly, but a half year later he showed his true face; he was an alcoholic and was always drunk when he got home from work. Once Jackson turned 8 the real problems started, Jack hit Caroline and Jackson almost every day. One time he even made Jackson’s nose bleed and broke his left leg. A year later he was caught by the police during a fight in a bar; the man he was fighting against died while he was in the hospital. Jack was let out of the prison 5 years later, during that time Jackson was 14 years old. Jack hadn’t changed in any way; he kept hitting Jackson and Caroline. She couldn’t stand it anymore and they divorced a few months later. It didn’t stop Jack though. He was like a hunter that found his prey; he wouldn’t give up. He kept breaking into Jackson’s house by throwing a stone through their windows; he stole their things or simply destroyed something. And then, on a Sunday night, he went completely crazy. He broke down their door and went in with a sharpened knife and cut through Caroline’s neck. The entire room was spilled with blood. The loud scream woke up Jackson; he ran into his mother’s bedroom and saw blood everywhere. Everywhere. After this event he was put into an orphanage. His grades in school were usually normal to good, but the fact that he had no parents that could help him anymore made him get worse and worse in school. Two years after he barely made it out of school he moved into his own apartment and found a job as carpenter. And then he saw him… He saw Jack in a bar. Typical. He waited outside the bar for him to get into his car. Jackson followed him with only goal; get revenge. Jack parked his car in front of his house and got out. He locked his car and walked towards the house. Jackson sneaked up to Jack when he was about to open the front door and strangled him to death. He pulled the dead corpse into a bush so no one would find out what happened. Jackson nervously got back into his car and drove to his apartment to think about what he just did. Luckily the police never found Jack’s corpse. When Jackson turned 23 the seven hour war came. He didn’t even try resisting; he knew he and the rest of humanity had no chance. After the seven hours of earth being taken over by the combine he was first relocated to city 70, a very quiet city with a small population. He forgot everything about his past life due to the rations he ate daily. Jackson was known as “Betrayer of Humanity” among the local resistance of city 70. About five and a half years later he was attacked by a rebel, (see section 1 for more detail) and when he was about to get killed a civil protection officer saved him. To make sure this kind of an incident would never happen again he moved to city 18 a half year later.

IC Character Name: Seriozhenka Anchova
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.
Seriozhenka wants to join the Combine Civil Authority to assist in the maintaining of sociostability among civilians. He believes in the importance of a civil environment within the limits of the city. He believes that all civilians who have not committed major offences towards the Combine Civil Authority deserve a fair chance at civilized life. However, he strongly believes that any civilians who have not committed major offences are traitors to the Universal Union and deserve to die a traitor's death.
He also has previous personal experiences that influence his wish to join the Combine Civil Authority. He was kidnapped and brought into Sector Six on a dark stormy night. He was told to give his keys to his apartment in the Combine Civil Housing, and to never come back again. The men threatened him and told him that if he told any Civil Protection unit he would be killed.
There was also family influence. Before the arrival of the Combine, his father had always been loyal to the U.S.S.R. and then Russia and had fought in the Russian-Afghan war in the late 1980s. Seriozhenka's father once said "I don't care who leads you, loyalty is always the best option." He always lived up to his father's words, and didn't intend on stopping, even under the most tyrannical rule.

Mmm....this one's difficult. Well, I wish I could take the short way out, and say it would be like when I was in it, but I think it will be a educational and overall fun experience for myself out-of-character. I plan to have fun, and to live up to the roleplaying standards that I have held myself up to thus far, and perhaps improve on my roleplaying skills.
Seriozhenka is very nervous about joining the Combine Civil Authority. Although he believes strongly in the discipline of those who are not loyal to the Combine, he is very scared of what could happen to him. He is scared of who his superiors may be, or of what civilian could be hiding around the corner with a pistol, with vengeance on his mind.
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.
Seriozhenka Anchova was born on a rainy Saturday in July, 1979, on his father's farm in Southern Russia. The same year, the Afghan Civil War, with Soviet involvement, started. This would greatly impact Seriozhenka's life later. As a young child, Seriozhenka did not receive formal education. His mother taught him simple arithmetic, writing skills, and reading skills on the weekdays. Every Saturday, a tutor would drive out to the farm from Moscow to teach more advanced skils to Seriozhenka. In 1986, Seriozhenka's father, who was an enlisted soldier in the 40th Army of the Soviet Union, was given notice that he was being deployed in Afghanistan, and that he and his family would need to move to Moscow until deployment in six months.
Seriozhenka was not very willing to leave the farm, however Moscow was very beneficial to him. Seriozhenka learned of the bustling city, and Seriozhenka was finally able to go to a proper school. He was enlisted into an all-boys private school – the cheapest available private school in Moscow. Seriozhenka was learning more than he would ever be able to learn on the farm. In 1989, the war ended, as did his father's life. Seriozhenka and his mother did not have enough money to move back to the farm, so his mother had to get a job as a maid. Seriozhenka was disappointed with this, but he knew it was the only possible way to get by.
At the age of sixteen, in 1995, Seriozhenka left home – and the Russian Federation – and moved to Krakow, Poland, where he would finish high school in a much more advanced private school than the one in Moscow, and then, hopefully, go to the University of Krakow. Seriozhenka knew he – with the assistance of his mother – would not fund his years in college. However, Seriozhenka was going to the University of Krakow to study medical science. He was able to convince a very wealthy friend of his who was a surgeon at the Krakow General Hospital to pay for Seriozhenka to go to college, as long as he worked as an unpaid assistant to the surgeon. Seriozhenka was able to maintain a 3.78 Grade Point Average throughout his years at the University of Krakow. He graduated in 2001 with a bachelor's degree in medicine and surgery. He was later hired at Krakow General Hospital, to work as a nurse under the surgeon who had funded his education. He worked there until the arrival of the Combine, after which he was assigned to City 18.

OOC Name: Rikki
IC Character Name: Jenifer Cooper
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.
My character wishes to join the Combine Civil Authority because she wishes to help the Combine regime in its triumphant march to control the world. She feels that the Combine rule is the best rule available due to her life. She was in a orphanage being beaten and starved during this time she lost all her innocence. After the Combine liberated the earth she was living on the streets so she took the Combine rule as her own.
My character had a medical flair that always showed up on occasion where it was needed. However at this time Jenifer has an overwhelming need to help people but mostly the Combine. After she was moved to city 18 she was raped and beaten only furthering her internal driving of revenge on the people that did this. During this time she never stopped to help the Combine in their march to control the world.
Jenifer always kept abiding the Combine and CCA rule but never took the next step. Jenifer now wishes to join the CCA to help the Combine in their glorious rule. Also during this period Jenifer always wished to pursue her life with anything medical, even without a personality. Also i wish to keep the population of minges in HL2RP down in anyway i can.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Jenifer is very trustworthy, But does not have a personality because of her past.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I am expecting the CCA to be tough and hard but it will be worth it for my role play abilities on both sides of the way HL2RP does it. My life in the CCA will be very strict and straight to the point but that's the Combine in a sense that they will rip you apart without batting an eye.
However on my character i expect the CCA to be very tough when needed and worthy of time. But throughout all of this i expect the CCA to have a never ending grudge that they have on everyone. Throughout all of this the CCA and I will benefit from having me on their force (hopefully).
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.
Born on October 3rd of 1991 Jenifer Cooper was born to Tony and Rikki Cooper after a brief affair when her mother visited England. Her father died in the Gulf war as part of the British Military and the news never made it to her until a year later at which time the Ukrainian military took her mother. After her mother was taken away Jenifer was a warden of the state and taken to an orphanage which was in serious despair. At this orphanage she gained a small hatred for mankind from the beatings and starvation that took place their because of the workers. After a few years at the orphanage she finally got to be able to fight back and did so. at the age of 17 just before she was about to be beaten she killed an worker out of a fit of rage. At this time the rest of the orphanage was in a small rebellion that was dulled down by the police. Jenifer was sent to jail for 5 years but the Combine liberated the world just over 1 year into her sentence and she too the Combine rule as her own because she had no other one to go by. Today she wants more than anything to help the Combine in a return of a favor from her younger years where they saved her life. But she also wants to pursue whatever she has left of her medical knowledge in where it would be applicable, the CCA. Above all else Jenifer wants to show people that the Combine are the best thing that has and ever will happen to earth. She wishes to show people the good side of the Combine and what good things they are doing for citizens and the earth both. Hoping she makes into the CCA she holds onto that passion inside her and carry's on life hoping it happens.

After living through the war between the Combine and the Human Armies, Kharn witnessed atrocities like no other. Scared and alone he began to travel, and soon ended up at the train station of city 18.
With a heavy heart he allowed himself to be taken under the control of the ones who took his friends lives away. He began to adapt to city life. But he wanted to feel the power. He lusted after this feeling. He got more and more enraged at his lacking amount of power in his life. He felt a lost of control. Soon he begun to have periods of blackness. But in those periods he became a mad man. He lost all self control and begun to rant and rave. He soon found himself in front of the recruitment office.
His destiny laying before him, he went forward. He passed by many new arrivals. As he made his way towards the line he began to wonder. " What will this provide for my life?"

Explosions, I see nothing but explosions. And death. My fellow man falling while i cower in a corner. I deserved to be found, I had given up on my friends to watch them fight against the invaders. I can't stop seeing their faces. It's all I see when i close my eyes. I can't rest without being haunted. Run, my mind says to me, " Run and don't stop until you see the trees." So I ran, Farther and farther away from my home. Passing by chaos and destruction I never stopped. " You should have stayed" my mind tells me "You should have died with your friends" I know, I should be dead. But no I lived because I was a coward. " No you lived because you saw what no one else saw." Wait what? "You saw the futility of fighting. You chose to live. You should have died, but you didn't. Now find the city and live with new friends." No. The combine will kill me. I can't, I WON'T!
That was 2 years ago. I couldn't stand living in the trees anymore. Or what was left of them. I just need the security of living with a group of people. So I must make the journey to city 18. I passed by it on the way here. I must reach it before the antlions kill me. I have to... Make.. It.. THERE!

OOC Name: Rec. J. Webster [1st MRB]
IC Character Name: James Morgan
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. James is a loyalist, and feels that it is his duty to help the combine keep the city from being in complete chaos. Civil Protection has always been an interest of his his, not only for the benefits, but for the personal satisfaction of keeping the streets "safe" from civil unrest. He witnessed the 7 Hour War, and hated the Combine, but he learned to love them, from the water, and from the messages on the giant television screen, assuring them that it was safe, and that the Combine where only here to help him and humanity progress. He also wants to help the Combine "quell" the Rebel forces, seeing as they cause so much hype.
James hates the hype that the Rebels causes, he feels that he should go to the Combine to help the Citizens live a peaceful, good life. He also believes that the Combine should control the world, seeing as they have "helped" humanity so much. He also loves the peaceful life, and hopes that one day, everyone can live it. But he does understand that the authority that is given to him comes with responsibilities, which he looks forward to.
He also wants to help the Combine control the animal, and alien, species that threaten every day life. He feels that if the Combine does not destroy, or control them, humanity could die its self. The Combine also seem like heroic figures to him. He strives to become one of those heroic figures, and help the Citizens with their every day responsibilities, and issue them to the Citizens.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy) Friendly, Optimistic, Loyal, Willing.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character? I expect the Combine to be interesting RP, and fun, but serious at the same time. Depending on what squad I go into, I expect a lot of different RP. I also expect a lot of patrolling, guarding, and helping other Combine units. I also expect the Combine to depend a lot on team work, and militarized or police force RP.
If I get into GEAR, I expect a lot of mechanical RP, and repair RP, as well as building RP, which is interesting to me, but probably not the path I'd want. If I get into NOVA, I expect a lot of medical RP, and maintaining a medical station RP. Which would probably be my second choice, and a very interesting one. If I get into APEX, which would be my first choice, I would expect a lot of maintaining the detainees, checking their status, and how long they are detained, also administering their punishment. This would be my first choice, and my the most interesting to me.
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.
James was born in London, England. It was a very big city, and he didn't enjoy the city life, but he always loved the weather in England. He saw things on the optimistic side, though he was a strict atheist. His family wasn't very happy, his mother and father always got in arguments. James thought these arguments where caused by him. But he always enjoyed the time he spent with his family when they where not fighting. He was also very active, he played football, or soccer, in school with his friends. He attended school, and his grades where average, he usually got Cs or Bs, which where satisfactory to him, but his teachers always pushed him, saying that he could do better. He passed the grades, without being held back. In his junior year at high school, he moved to Scotland, there he attended high school and college.
In Scotland, he wasn't popular, but he had a few friends. He was normal, for your average Joe's standards. He wasn't made fun of really, but he had a lot of enemies. Eventually, he graduated high school, and then looked at his college choices. He got into your average college, nothing too special, but it was sufficient. He graduated college, but his grades dropped, he now only averaged Cs, no Bs. During his time at college, he got a bit irresponsible, and partied a lot. But when he graduated, and stepped into the world of an adult, it all vanished.
During the days leading up to the incident, he worked at a car dealership, selling cars. He had made a good amount of money, and was living well, but when the Xen alien refugees flood into Earth, he was forced to abandon the business. He fled to a protected city, and used the rest of his money to continue living. Not long after, the Seven Hour War came. He fled to the cellar of a bar, and waited it out. When he had heard humanity had surrendered, he came out, hands high, and surrendered to the Combine's rule.
During the first weeks, he hated the Combine, but slowly, he began to lose his memory from the water, he drank a lot of it. With the help of the supporting words of Dr. Breen, he learned to love Combine, and wanted to do nothing but serve them to help humanity. His first city was City 23, and it wasn't so good there. Many problems ran in the City, but he constantly wanted to help the Combine. While being a loyalist, he got many death threats. He eventually requested to leave the City, then he went to City 18, his new City, there he lives the rest of his life, hoping to help the Universal Union.

IC Character Name: Annie Deschnes
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.
I'd love to do something new for awhile. I've only roleplayed citizens that get detained, or are generally useless. I'm quite funny- and I feel that if Annie would be enrolled in the UCA, she'd find herself with a lot more power than any other citizen. She'd try to do things differently than any other unit, being a unique one. Which, would make her loved among the ranks. I'd try to have a reason for anything I do, whether it be detaining a citizen, I'd always try to question them and make a valuable decision as to whether or not they deserve to roam free.
Especially with being an aged roleplayer, I think I'd always bring excitement to my roleplay. I'd definitely get involved with things that happen around the city, capturing a resistance member or maybe just somebody that has been causing a lot of trouble around the city. Keeping myself ego free, but trying to be as strict or rude as possible to get what I want ICly. I wouldn't be overly rude to superiors, though. Being in 'Civil Protection' is a dream for me. I have a lot of potential. I don't see the 'stunsticks' or anything as a weapon to beat somebody with. I'd try other tactics, be innovative. I'm not a generic person. I'd try to leave a mark, mentally or physically- if I have to. Otherwise, I'll still listen to rules given, trying my best to be a great unit. I'm definitely one of those people that see both sides of a job.
Annie is somebody who believes in discipline. After my short story, you can easily recognize the fact that Annie is soft. She took her beating. Now, with education out of the picture, among other things, she finds herself lonely. The only way to fix that loneliness is by joining a group of people- who believe in the same things that she does. 'Civil Protection' opens up her story. Imagine Annie, generally, a shy person, wielding a stunstick, demanding you to answer her questions. It'd definitely be an interesting role. Being a female is only the half of it. Annie would take the chance to do something big. To sum it all up- the 'UCA' is somebody that distinguished roleplayers join. It's a harsh faction. If you mess up, your hopes and dreams are crushed with amputation. That's extremely appealing for me, I always love a challenge. Detaining people is always fun, questioning them, coming up with scenarios to get answers- it's a 'masculine dream'. I guess you could say. If it was played by an intellectual, mentally scarred individual, it'd be a lot more fun. Not fucking up would be difficult. Being a smart person, I won't.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy) Friendly, Optimistic, Loyal, Willing.
Intelligent, anti-social at times, awkward, shy and naturally rude.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I'd love to follow some sort of protocol, and really get some sort of hard boiled, serious roleplay going. i always see units that make generic characters, without any meaning. I don't mind doing nothing as an officer, as long as it has some sort of back story behind it. I'm interested in developing relationships as I navigate myself through a squad in the UCA. Not necessarily being promoted, but making friends among the squad. I believe in developing a character more than anything. I'd feel extremely loved if I could find a way to make friends among the UCA, yet still be the cold hearted person Annie is. I'm an extremely good roleplayer- meaning that I always put effort into my /me's. I know how to handle people in general, whether it be IC or OOC.
In closing, what I'm interested in the UCA, is the fact that you can find the same personality in the 'job that a unit does', after hours, or when things calm down in the city, it really shows the gritty aspect of a unit. I'm one of those people. It's come to my knowledge that I'm more of a person that would like to develop my character- while becoming infamous for being one of those 'units that are good at something'. The roleplay that I'm interested in is finding out intelligence about resistance establishments that have popped up around the city. While, I'm known as a 'spectre'- yet my character story comes into play with that. Seeing as Annie has a trouble past. I hope that makes sense.
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.
I
It was a frothy day in France. The day before Mrs. Deschnes's birthday. Mrs. Deschnes lay still on her rocking chair, as nineteen year old Annie Deschnes walked into the living room of the exotic villa, drearily looking out onto the coast of 'Kana Beach'. The ambient hum of the street could barely be heard. The villa was part of a wealthy neighbourhood of estates, a great neighbourhood for Annie. Annie's attire consisted of a plain white t-shirt and blue jeans, which hardly matched with her short, nurtured brown hair.
Keeping her head still, Annie stared insolently down at the carpet of the villa. Continuing her navigation through the large villa in a trance of warmth. Annie was just near past Mrs. Deschnes, before she had been caught. "Annie, where do you think 'yer going?" Mrs. Deschnes inquired, Annie retorting with a curt "Upstairs." Mrs. Deschnes' face had turned flush red, her withered hand extending subtly under her rocking chair. Annie couldn't breath, not even to nudge away a loose strand of her hair from her brow. Mrs. Deschne's hand lifted itself up minutely- which seemed like ages for Annie. An ideal leather belt from 'Louis Vuiton' in her palm this time.
Annie let out screams of agony, her buttocks aching after every whip. Looking up every three seconds, the withered remains of 'Mrs. Deschnes' still left in her head, along with another lash after the thought of it. "How do you like that!? You'll never go upstairs without my permission!" Mrs. Deschnes raved madly, attempting to get a response from Annie's sealed lips. Nothing. This made Mrs. Deschnes force more affliction upon Annie, Annie's sobs drowning out the picturesque scene before her. After a minute of a straight forward lashing, Annie lifted herself up. Relieved that her mother had disappeared; yet something was a bit too solemn about the scene. Scanning the area, Annie's pupils were nearly gouged out at the sign of her blood red palms. Oozing the substance like it was 'jelly'. One harsh shrill shriek flooded her ears, feeling a pang of remorse hit her once again; this time, a volt of electricity.
II
Annie's shook back and forth, her buttocks itching around the hardwood floor of her apartment. This time, in an odd dimension. Dressed up in queer demeanor, like her private school days. Occupied with her thoughts, a vibrant knock shook the room before her. It was from the door. Annie maneuvered herself to the door, a few feet away from where she had been sitting. Putrid odours filled her nose as she churned a corroded key into the lock. Staring blankly at a 'Civil Protection' unit. "Citizen, apply." Annie had done so. Learning the various key terms of the city, she was more caught up in the propaganda than anything. It had all gone fine and 'dandy', until the unit had withdrew his stunstick. Interviewing her with the weapon propped up in his hand. Annie returned an aggressive stare, clearly not mortified by the weapon. After dull questioning, the unit had finally left her alone. Thinking once more, about a career in 'Civil Protection', especially after seeing the blind side of a career in law enforcement in a short interview.
OOC Details
1. How long have you played on role-playing servers in general? I started roleplaying on San Andreas since 2006, in which, you really just get hooked. I was obviously an idiot at it, like most people who start (well, for me anyway), but, I developed. It seems like the only reason I'd be interested in roleplaying today is because of depressing scenarios. I'd never be a 'fantasty' roleplayer. That's why I started out on GTA. I moved onto GarrysMod in 09, even though I had the game since 2007.
2. How long have you played on serious servers?: Depends. I'd love to play on serious servers- but a lot of them aren't serious. I'd say that ever since I realized that roleplaying could get more serious, I've been playing on them for 4 years. I'd love to have something that is more than serious, but super duper realistic. Free of mingebags.
3. How long have you played on Catalyst Gaming?: Since June 2nd.
4. What Time zone are you in?: EST. I'm always on when 0 players are on until the player count reaches 50 for six hours. So, usually on for 7 hours a day.
5. In what country do you live?: Canada
6. How old are you?: 16. I'm mature for my age, mainly because I'm well educated and spend my time typing up /me's on Catalyst-Gaming.
7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience?: When, on Jessica Phelps, I had stayed in a detainment cell for 6 hours. In which, I roleplayed with many units. Whom, I can say, were great roleplayers. That contributed in my application.
8. Do you consider yourself a good listener?: Yeah.

Darted. Site name: Complexion.
IC Character Name:
Thomas Garner's.
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.
My character, Thomas Garners just came to the new city he was transferred to, while walking about, he managed to find many citizens, and he thought this wasn't just the time to be in a city full of refugees, citizens, and other kind of human beings. He rented an apartment, and was glad to be able to pay tokens for this apartment, just something for that reason. Contraband was being found, and this was going to be attracted against his data, so that is what he had to do, gather many contraband, turn them in, and earn some dignity. ( In-game, I've found over twenty, or nineteen contraband, I didn't count, but that is how much I caught in the game though. ) Points were soon later added, if he was actually going to be a loyalist, if that is going to happen at least.
After the jolt of running, jumping, and also carrying these large items in his backpack, he managed to give them in turn to the Civil Protection, they took these items, and you know rest of the drill, either burn these items, or just destroy them with their weapons. He was starting to feel good about himself, what he is doing for his benefactors known as the Civil Protection that is offering him help in need, and really giving the Earth a chance to be freed once again from humanity; such as the technology polluting our Earth, lets not get far away from the topic though; and the way they are doing something better for the human life. Man.
Application drills were sent out, to prove they are loyal to the Combine Civil Authority, and what points were actually given to these citizens. This was his only chance, last chance for his time of use, to become one of their benefactors, the Combine Civil Authority. It was strange for many citizens to be applying for this application, also difficult to be waiting for; annoying really, if you ask me; but that is how it is suppose to go, apply, check, deny or accept, hard work to be given to such working Civil Protection, clamping areas, proceeding on the double, concentrating on the radio contraptions that were replying every single second, or even minutes if your really that hard enough to listen to such tags; tags remind me of something, your digits that you were given, they are going to need to be listened also, not mixed up in such matters of other digits from a unit; but I guess that is how the digits, and difficulties that are processed everyday, year, hour, minute, second.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Loyal, Trustful, Establishing Achievement.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
By the traits, and the effort put in-game with the CWU, ( Civil Worker's Union, ) and the Civil Protection, I think this job would be good for my character, serving under great circumstances that were given to the heart of this person, and serving to great pride that is offered to loyal people. The character so far is trying his best to do anything for the Combine Civil Authority, even if it is taking down in death, he will try his best to let the companions of him do something well worthing in his life; they protected him, sheltered, and even fed him well produced food, such as the rations, along with Breen's Water, Supplements, and tokens to give your character something like allowance; I am talking about how he will serve, and the goodness that was given to the character.
For the feeling of myself, I'd rather thought of myself improving on anything that I was given, because I used to roleplay as the Civil Protection before, and I've gone up towards the rank OfC. but never went on any further. I want to roleplay on the server because of the players that are voyaging to this server to also do something to make themselves feel very good about themselves; that is what I am trying to do with myself also, do something that I will be proud about, the circumstances lead on towards a better future.
I am sure I have pretty much the right amount of skill to do this kind of roleplay I am leading on to, because I was once a unit, as told once again to the reader. Offering such roleplay, grammar, sentences can improve to other players, and myself too, because I think I get the hold of doing this application with all of my offering for me to do. Hoping that if it will get denied, or accepted, I can wait for another drill, and work my hardest to keep on trying, for something you want. I've tried my best on other applications, but was denied for short reasons, the motives here are pretty normal.
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.7
l| Seven Hour War. |l
Rubble was flying, bullets were going overhead, the sound of the noise, Zzinng! passed through his head as he ran with his arms passing around his head, noises of guns firing were shooting off as they hit someone, or just sent dust flying as the speeding projectile hit against solid ground, or against a material, such as concrete, or thick kevlar of the military; he was a citizen, not the military; blood was splattered all over his clothing, sweat was running down his face, scars were scattered from the slamming against the dirt, and the bruises from the head hitting. The pain was aching as he ran, his ankles were making a straining noise when they are going to give up or just give him a hard time to keep running. His shoes were torn, his pants were cut along with blood all over them, stains of dirt and rubble was stained everywhere along his clothing and his face that was bleeding with the markings of sorrow. Cars in the background were crashing, buildings were collapsing down on the ground, as the white dust flew in every direction, blinding anyone that encountered in such dust of solid. Voices of screaming and yelling of men and women, weapons being fired as the trigger was pressed, and the projectiles being sent to the enemy behind those flanking positions.
l| Slaver Camp. |l
Echoed noises were heard in the background, bullets were flying in the air, black smoke was in the air and the buildings were beginning to break, and also flaming with fire as the burst of grenades busted and the shrapnel pressing against the skin of him, someone grabbed him by the back of his collar, and some kind of heavy dank material was slammed against his head, knocked out with a single yank or pressure against the top of a persons head. He woke up with his hand in front of his face, two heavy armed units were looking down at him, their heads patrolling against the side, people in the background working as they sweated, and the fearing expressions, the women were crying, either from their siblings being killed, or just the amount of pain they had in their lives and not knowing that will happen to their lives. Putting the both of his hands along the ground, and his aching, weak feet against the ground was getting himself up from the ground, his vision was blurry, and the pain screeching behind his head made him want to yell out in terror, or do something to take this pain away. He looked down beside his feet, a small like pickaxe was on the ground, the noises of huge out bursts of terror traveled through his ears. He then picked it up, and began to work until the job was finished.
l| Citizen Transfer |l
Many of the citizens were beginning to walk in the huge door that opened, a year has gone by, and the Seven Hour war was such a terror for anyone to experience, which he experienced. Women and men were walking in with such clothing that was offered to them, Civil Protection were tabbing data against their datapads as they spoke in such a deep voice under these devices in their masks. Each minute was heard by their names, such as " Alice Parkin's, CID is 10325. " and the repeating word, " Apply. " made him cringe because he was beginning to experience an anxiety attack. His feet tapped against the ground as he approached the unit, he turned his head over towards him, saying without a glimpse, " Citizen, apply. ". His hand studdered towards his Citizen Identification Digits, and also said with his name also, " T- th- thomas G- garn- garners. C- c- cid i- is-... 80541. ". The unit turned his head down towards his datapad, by the look of his lens, you can tell he was viewing the data that was given, or just putting the information on the datapad, which was really annoying when he tabbed his fingers against the blue neon screen, and took a picture of what the citizen looked like, and that was finished, in his future was his only hope of survival, and what would happen.

1. How long have you played on role-playing servers in general?
For as long as one year, because I've been attracted with roleplay, Half Life 2 Roleplay were suppose to be talking about. And gather pretty much the experience that I was really looking forward to playing.
2. How long have you played on serious servers?
Same as my first sentence beneath this sentence, because I mostly played on serious servers, just for the fun, and the reality that I was wanting to look for, and that is what this whole section here is talking about, under my circumstances really.
3. How long have you played on Catalyst Gaming?
I've played on Catalyst Gaming for as long as ten months, and I never get bored of the fun, really enjoyable when the admins are on, and such, etc, you know what I am sayin'?

5. In what country do you live?
Canada, Toronto, ON.
6. How old are you?
Sixteen.
7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience?
I remember the time I was an officer on Half Life 2 Roleplay. I was once caught under a rebel ambush, Three 02's, also with one 01, were defending off the bridge of City18, because it was the last position that we were authorized to be given, it was a very nice event, rebels fighting when you had no choice to either roll, or just attempt, and let the other player play to lose, or just try their efforts to win the best, which is determined on arguing, or just settling it down when an admin watches the both of the characters fight in action. I managed to shoot one of the characters in the head, which really killed him instantly, one of my 01's were shot down, then medical roleplay was bound to be offered for you, and even everyone else trying to help this very well deserving 01. The heat was getting stronger, and the units were bound down to being barely killed; which sooner or later, we've made it out alive, three wounded units down in combat; and which just gave me a good time for everyone to be handed.
In the end, everyone agreed with each other roleplay, and the play to lose thing was really being counted on, because they just tried their best to either have a good time, or to set their mood up; and by telling of this sentence, and those few words I told to the reader, also showed their skills, almost like a car showing off it's moves in front of a big crowd of people, cheering for which one would win or lose, that is my example of how we roleplayed; I've really enjoyed this roleplay, and I'd bet everyone else did to, because of the sound of their voices being texted in the OOC messages, and the expressions, such as :3.
8. Do you consider yourself a good listener?
I consider myself a listener, when it comes to listening to constant radio messages, IC chats, and also the knowledge of knowing what to do.

IC Character Name: Dmitri Matrienko
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.
Dmitri is a socialist, through and through. He was one of the few "happy" members of the Russian Communist party, and stayed a proud communist even after the fall of the Berlin Wall. He saw Russia's transformation to capitalism as a betrayal of the country that he loved, and he wrote several books about, all of which failed, leaving him destitute.
With the coming of the Combine, however, Dmitri saw their rule as the rebirth of socialism. He could not be happier; he was back in his element. He considered himself a loyalist and never left home with his request device, which he never hesitated to use.
Life, however, was not as perfect as it was back in the Soviet Union. Crime is rampant, and anti-citizenry is on the rise. Dmitri is beginning to realize that his request device can't arrest people. It was then that he decided that the CCA needed his help, now more than ever. It wasn't just his choice, it was his duty.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Respects the CPs and CWs, merciless towards criminals (petty and malicious), and loyal CCA laws and principles
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I think Dmitri would really enjoy being a Civil Protector. He has lived under their ever-benevolent gaze for some time, and he has them to thank for everything in his life. Not only do they feed him, clothe him, and shelter him, they also helped him beat his heroin addiction. He sees serving the CCA as being the ultimate sacrifice for society, and he will see to it that justice is served.
As for me, I think that this will be a new experience for me. I have never been a CP before, and I plan to see if I can make a difference in this server. I have seen many CPs, and they all impress me as being wonderful RPers, and I would be honored to serve among them.
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.
Dmitri Mikhailovich Matrienko was born in Pskov, Russia, on April 12, 1981. Both his parents were members of the Communist Party, and this rubbed off on him. He joined many youth organizations, and he gained the respects of many of the organizers, who took note of his zeal. He soon moved up through the ranks, and gained more and more respect among his peers. Then, the Berlin Wall fell, as did Dmitri's life. With the disbandment of the Communist Party, Dmitri lost everything he had worked so hard for, especially his respect. His parents took to homeschooling him, fearing capitalist indoctrination in the public schools. Upon turning 18, he left his home in Pskov and enrolled at Moscow University. There, he joined several underground ultra nationalist organizations, but later quit, realizing that they weren't going to change anything. Dmitri went on to major in journalism and apply to several newspapers, all of which later fired him after he published pro-communist/anti-government articles. Dmitri then tried his luck at writing novels. This also failed, and eventually got him blacklisted from many well-paying jobs. Broken and destitute, he turned to drug use to escape.
Then, the apocalypse came. Dmitri was waiting at the Rizhskaya metro station when the sound of explosions came down from the subway entrance, followed by throngs of panicking citizens. He ran into a near by bathroom and locked the door behind him. He stayed there for some time, until the constant sounds of gunfire and the quake of explosions subsided. He emerged from the metro to see a razed and war-torn ruin. For days he wandered the ruins, scavenging food and supplies. He eventually found a group of other survivors, who accepted him into their colony. He struggled with them for several months until a low drone could be heard above the din of electric generators. From over the tops of burnt out houses came a combine dropship, which then landed in front of the bewildered survivors. From out of the drop ship came humanoid beings, clad in kevlar, armored face-masks, and wielding machine guns. The survivors, including Dmitri, were taken to a processing center, where they were assigned numbers and cities. Dmtri was sent to City 18. Even before stepping off the train, he was already amazed at the architecture of the city. He was genuinely impressed by the towering walls and advanced technology of the Combine. Upon arriving, he immediately felt at ease, like he was home again. Then, Dmitri got his first ration. He was at home! Socialism had won, and he was still alive to see it happen!

My most memorable experience was on the Slidefuse RP server. A JW was in effect and an apartment search was in progress. All tenants, including me, were put on the wall, tied up, and searched. There must have been a lot of minges on, because I was one of three people out of about ten that were not amputated due to malcompliance.
8. Do you consider yourself a good listener?
I am always alert of what is being said in the chat box. Whenever someone speaks to me, I respond. Nothing annoys me more than when I am ignored or not heard. As such, I do my best to listen to others, as an observation of the golden rule.

IC Name: John Lee
John Lee wants to join the Combine Civil Authotiy beacause he respects the Combine and what they do. Hes thankful they took over. He thought the rebelion was just shit. He follows all the laws. When people try to break the law, he tells a Combine. If he was a combine he would question them and maybe exicute them.
John was born before the Combine took over. His family hated the Combine. Though he didn't understand why. His family left him for liking the Combine. As he grew up he studied the Combine. He made wishes of him becoming a Combine. A Combine Civil Authoritity to be exact.
John was always hated. The Rebelion never gave him help. He had no friends. All beacause of him wanting to be a Combine. Every time Breen was on the screen to make a speech. He listened with open ears. The Combine watched him with hate. Though he still wanted to be a Combine. No matter what people said about him. He always wanted to be a Combine.
Traits:|6.3 Feet|Brown hair|Orange eyes|Very fast|Partly Asian|Respects all CP|Wants to be a CP|
I am expecting John Lee's Combine job would be a Nova or a cop. He would have either a shotgun or a pistol. He would have low kevlar. He would respect all the other Combines. He would be strict (and he would kill any minges).
John Lee's number would be 1.285, 2.092, or 3.172. He might operate a city scanner. He would do daily checks around restricted areas. He would check citizens and their homes for any contriband.
John Lee was born in a small barn on August 13th, 1989. His family left him when he was 13. His family left him because they were on the Rebelion side. While John was on the Combine side. He always listened to every report Breen gave. He would note important stuff to help him. He wanted to become a Combine. He made that wish a week later the Combine took over. He always respected the combine. He was an outcast. The rebelion hated him. Same with the combine. Though the Combine hated him, he still wanted to become one of them. He had to fight for his survival. His whole life was a night mare. A cook that fealt pitty on John gave him scraps of food. The cook became one of John's only friend. When John told the Cook he wanted to be a Combine unit. The cook fealt proud of him. John went throughout his life with the cook. The cook was killed in a fire fight. John saw it happen. The cook was shot by a rebelion member. Thats when he swore he would get revenge on the rebelion.

IC Character Name: Johann Steiner
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.
Johann Steiner was born into a military family in Germany. His father was a soldier and HIS father was a soldier. This cycle goes all the way back to th 1700's. Johann was taught to never break tradition and to always respect authority. Johann never diobeyed his parents and would always help enforce the rules to his unnaturally unruly siblings. When Johann was in school, he enrolled in the local Reserve Officer Training Corps in hopes of future service.
At the time of the Resonance Cascade, Steiner was already undergoing training at the local Police Academy so he can enter the Army a rank or two higher. He was never accepted into the Army, nor did he ever complete training, due to the abundance of better candidates already from the military who would constantly take his spot on the force. He decided to continue training for a while in hopes that a spot would finally open up for him. Just before the 7-Hour War (about 2 years, to be precise), Johann's father, Manfred Steiner, died of Cancer. This caused Johann to quit his job as a Police Officer and work at his mother's small general store.
During the war, Johann stayed clear of as much Combine as he could. When Civil Protection was formed, Johann could not decide whether or not he wanted to continue police work. He always respected the new police force, even when he was treated badly himself. Now, Johann has put all of his troubles behind him and is ready to make all of the necessary sacrifices to help his new authority, community, and mankind as a whole; whatever the cost.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
-Honest
-Loyal
-Respectful of authority
-Obeys orders
-Sometimes forgets small things, but not too often
-Committed to whatever he does
-Courageous
-Honorable
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
Johann expects the CCA would be a redemption to all of his past wrongs and a way to serve others, knowing full well the prices he must pay in the form of beatings, harassment, etc. to keep order and help mankind. He wants to keep tradition, up until he dies and is the final generation of his famliy. He also wants to help support his mother, who lives in City 17 and is not making enough of a living to even eat without rations.
I, myself, would like to see what it looks like from the other side. Having played through Half Life 2, Episode 1, and Episode 2, I wondered what it was like to view the Resistance as a main antagonist, instead of the other way around. I also like the look of the Combine, especially Synths and Elites.
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.
Johann Steiner was born in Germany about 35 years ago. He was born to Manfred Steiner, his father, and Katja Hoppe, his mother. He lived in Berlin for about 3 years before moving to Hamburg. Johann was raised to be in armed service almost from birth. His mother worked at a local general store, which soon after Johann's brother, Andreas Steiner, was born, she bought for herself. Johann's sister, Gizala Steiner, is an odd one, no matter how her parents raised her, she was defiant. Johann and Gizala grew very distant asn Johann became lawful and Gizala became chaotic. Andreas was respectful of authority, but never had any interest in continuing his family's tradition of joining the armed forces.
Before the 7-Hour War, Johann trained to become as great a soldier as he could while in and out of school. He generally ignored many distractions during training such as television, sports, hunger, and even his girlfriend. Johann applied for police training because he was never really able to get into the military. By the time the portal storms started hitting Hamburg, Johann was still in training and could not help defend the city as much as he wished. Just before the war began (about 2 years), Manfred, his father, died of lung Cancer due to smoking. This was one of many personal reasons that Johann decided to quit his police and military training and help his mother at the general store. When the war finally hit, Johann was very respectful of his new superiors. He tried to get as much on their good side as possible so as not to be hunted down and killed or treated as bad as others by following the law.
After the war, Johann was still a bit distressed over many personal issues, including his father. This conflicted with his desire to fulfill tradition and join the armed forces. Eventually, his friends encouraging him, Johann found his willingness to proceed with this, realizing that dwelling on his past does not help people around him. Johann finally gathered enough courage to pay the price of order and security by attempting to join Civil Protection.

IC Character Name: Aisha Owens
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.
Aisha thought that loyalists were the only people apt to be guaranteed a place within the CCA, and she had never favored the CCA herself. Her tastes weren't within the resistance too much either. The reason for this concerned her ideas of the CCA. So for the beginning of her life in the city she had stayed a citizen and didn't favor toward either faction.
Pondering, while hanging lonesome in her empty apartment, she forced herself to think of reasons to join the CCA considering she wasn't too much for the resistance. She felt that she belonged somewhere other than in the neutral zone, she wanted to isolate herself from the dull and repetitive life of a citizen. It felt like she did the same exact thing everyday; sleep, work, loiter near a shop, then sleep for a few hours. A change was indeed needed.
The only reason she felt herself obligated to join the CCA instead of the resistance was because of sheer facts such as: the Universal Union had won the war and enslaved the entire planet in 7 hours, as well as having a large army and having more resources. This convinced her that she'd have no chance staying alive if she were to immerse herself in the rebel life. The other reason she felt up to joining the CCA was because it would provide a better life style, in her sense. Being given meals that wouldn't have a foul and undernourished taste, and whenever a CP walked by she could always just imagine herself within one of those uniforms; these were other reasons she felt like applying. She also, but didn't really feel strong about it, wanted to insure the safety of other citizens. She doesn't really care much about others as she should, but will use it as her excuse.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Obedience is a key trait she has, able to follow orders (as long as they stay within a logical and reasonable zone)
Her thoughts are slightly discursive, barely does this correspond with her speech,though sometimes it may interfere with her duties, but not often.
She has common sense, knowing what to do to avoid trouble or pissing off a higher command. This helps her know when to keep her mouth closed or to isolate herself from another situation/argument that isn't her own.
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 had a character in the CCA so I expect it to give me a different/new aspect of RP as well as more knowledge on the CCA. This could help expand some of my role playing into other depths I haven't explored before, such as actually falling into ranks and having to obey commanders. So I guarantee that it'd be a fun and learning experience as well as something that may progress my RPing capabilities.
I expect this opportunity to give my character a new insight on the CCA, which in return would shift her thoughts accordingly and would make the CCA gain her trust. My character would expect the experience to be (oddly) fun and very rewarding, something that could also expand her abilities and skills. She also expects it to keep her in-tune and help her focus on what is currently going on, to help her keep her mind off other things.
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.
1991-
Aisha Owens was born August 20, 1991 in San Antonio, Texas. Her mother was rushed toward the San Antonio Community Hospital to give birth to Aisha early in the day. She was born into a Hispanic heritage, which she ended up living a quite decent life as her family was above the middle class.
She was home schooled at an affordable price and lived a quiet life for a small part of her youth. Because of the quiet and dull scenario surrounding her, she began being involved in gang-related activities. She never went as far as to start gun shootings or even drink an alcoholic beverage at the least. She mostly hanged with a small chunk of the gang and did minor public offenses such as stealing or pickpocketing. Most of her actions were very unnecessary considering her family was above any financial problems. The saddest part was that she was only twelve and thirteen when she was in the gang.
2004-2009
Most of her education was wasted as she planned on joining the military without a doubt when she grew older. Most of her expectations shifted for the future when the portal storms had arisen in 2004 and she was forced behind the walls of a protected city. Even though life was expected to be protected and safe, she was kept indoors and lived, once again, a dull and quiet life. She never had saw a face of her small gang again.
Behind the bars of the city, and being eighteen now, she wanted to help out with the protection of the city. Before she even got the chance though, more portal storms opened up and her life in the protected city was changed.
Seven Hour War
With the walls being destroyed and the Universal Union taking over the world, she was forced to abandon her home with her family into a community shelter. Nearly three hours had passed before the shelter had been popped open and the odd, never seen before units rushed in. Many were murdered, anyone with defects or those who were too old, too young. Aisha was happy her prayers were answered that she had been eighteen, old enough to not pass off as a kid to be either killed or sent off to a cremator factory. Was it better she had not died though?
2009-2016
Life happened to be even more boring than before. Life was cruel at the start of the new city life. She was soon malnourished and had worked long hours at the labor camp. Not often, but sometimes she'd be transferred to different cities and she'd have to get use to the different cultural surroundings and faces. She was able to make a friend in one city who was of the CWU, the man provided her with part of his more nourishing meals. This helped re-boost her strength a bit and help her out while at the labor camp.
Sadly she was reassigned to a new city and once again started out her life as before. Upon entering City 18 she figured to try something new with her life, something that could help put her in a better situation. Applying to be a CP.

TnB, a while back when my character was just introduced to the out lands there was a COTA Raid. Whiteforest was the location and the place was calm and quiet, birds canopying the nearby trees. Everyone was alerted and rushed into an underground basement. The sounds of hunters echoed through the forest and had created a stale and quiet moment between the hiding rebels. It seemed like an hour passed as the hunters roamed the seemingly empty town. Suddenly violent screams were heard as some (supposedly uninformed) rebels were being introduced to the hunters in a grotesque way, being torn apart and shot up. More time had pass and much passive RP was created as the rebels whispered among themselves. This experience was memorable for the seriousness, fun, and passive RP introduced and conducted.

He could not feed his three children on welfare and he lost his youngest child to malnutrition as the recession took a deeper hold on his community and the welfare he was promised could not even provide basic sustenance to the millions of people left destitute by the second Great Depression.
When the Combine arrived, the hunger which he thought had been true before was nothing compared to what he felt now. Determined to survive, Noir stole from fellow citizens as his community resisted the occupation and therefore rations were withheld. After a month of Combine occupation, Noir weighed 3/4's of what he weighed before the occupation. Noir was determined to secure more food for himself, even if this meant working against the community that once supported him.
Noir doesn't particularly feel a love for the Combine, and he feels that their occupation has made matters worse. He's treated like a slave, starved, beaten and humiliated and the only way he can escape this suffering is by joining the CCA. Noir marched into the application office determined to become a recruit and work his way up through the ranks, in turn receiving a weapon to defend himself against people who also felt the need to survive by stealing from others, and receiving enough rations so he would not lay awake for many hours, his insomnia induced by the great hunger he felt constantly.

OOC'ly
I expect to get pushed around as a recruit which is what should happen in HL2RP. I don't expect to be given much forgiveness for any mistake I make so I won't make any mistakes. I've been in the CCA before on Kuromeku's community (the name has slipped my mind) so I know that I've gotta take orders from my superiors. I'm hoping that I'll get involved with the Inquisitor side of the Combine, the guys who extract information from citizens; before you ask, I'm not a sadist, I feel that my roleplay is of a very high quality and this position offers a very good method of showing my skills.
IC'ly
Noir knows that he's going to have to accept being not much better off than the common citizen for a while. He won't be recieving a fantastic amount of rations, so he will not be in prime physical condition, so he must not be too lenient and unperceptive to anti-citizens as they only have a slight disadvantage in physical build. Noir needs to be prepared to hand out cruel and unfair punishments if his superiors ask as they can have him terminated whenever they wish; they're not his friends, he knows that, so he has to be just as afraid of them as he is of the rebels.
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.
When Noir first got fired, he was shocked. He knew that life was going to be difficult once he had no source of income, but the welfare state could keep him and his children alive at the very least. The company he worked for, Casio Calculators, had sold off the property and the first Mike knew of his unemployment was when he approached the building at 9am on a Monday morning and was faced with a 'CONDEMNED' sign.
Mike went home and informed his children that he didn't have a job anymore, and that for the moment they couldn't buy new clothes or go on holiday during the summer.
Mike started receiving his welfare cheque a week after he lost his job. At first, the welfare allowed him to live relatively comfortably, whilst obvious making cutbacks, but nothing so major that it affected his children's lives.
Then, one morning, Mike was watching the television when the news reporter's coverage of the troubles in Burkhina Fasou was cut short; the camera switched over to the Financial sector of CNN. On the screen, there was a projection of a plummeting graph indicating that the FTSE 100 and many other major stock markets were crashing. The dollar was worth virtually nothing, and his savings may have just as well been burnt. Mike lost everything in a matter of hours.
The next winter was extremely tough. The welfare fund was slowly drying up as more people became unemployed and it had to be spread even further, and eventually he couldn't afford the bacon he usually cooked for his family every morning. Mike cancelled his heating payments in order to be able to buy himself and his family two meals a day, and they mainly consisted of bread. His youngest child, Dave, fell ill with pneumonia as his house was so frighteningly cold. Dave died within two weeks of falling ill, and Mike never recovered.
During the summer, there were shimmering blue lights, called Portal Storms, that deposited frightening monsters around the town.
"Am I going mad? Has Dave's death really affected me that much?" Mike asked himself.
But he knew he had not been driven insane; half of his town had moved into Cleveland after fleeing from the monsters that Mike frequently saw roaming the fields. Mike refused to leave and so did many of the other people in the town; they gathered arms and fought off many of the monsters. They did not fight as effectively as they could have since many were so hungry that they could not even hold a gun without shaking, but they held off the monsters for many weeks.
Then the Combine invaded; nobody could believe it. The news arrived in the morning that gunships from some unknown country, which Mike now knows were not even from any country, were flying across America and slaughtering the armed infantry that were fighting so desperately to defend the country. The war felt like it had raged for years due to the intensity of the fighting, but in reality the UN declared that their forces were surrendering to the Combine after a mere 7 hours.
Mike was arrested by the Combine for simply being outside of the city and was deported to City 17 where he now resides. He was forced to leave his children behind when he was arrested and Mike remains convinced that they have been deported to some other city. At first in City 17, many of the citizens rebelled, refusing to believe that Earth had simply given up. Mike refused to join in as he had heard the blood curdling screams that penetrated the walls behind where so many of the rebels were tortured.
As a result of the resistance, many rations were withheld and Mike feared he would died from starvation. They recieved barely 1000 calories per day and were made to work backbreaking hours for their new 'benefactors.'
Mike realized he had to join the Combine as soon as possible as he grew frightened when he could see hair falling from his head due to the starvation.

It was a normal day in city 45 Jeff Johnson had the order to clean the streets. After getting his rations Jeff talked to some guys he met when cleaning the streets. After his little chat with his fellow citizens.
He has gone back to his apartment for a nap. But when he was about to close his eyes he heard his door open, immediately Jeff stood up and tried to hide but he was to late a man aimed a gun at his head and said: “On the wall NOW!” he immediately did what the man asked. “Give me all your tokens and possessions or I will blow your brains out” the man said Jeff gave all of his tokens and possessions. But when he turned around he saw 2 other guys one with a SMG and one with a pistol. Then the man who threatened Jeff said: “Turn around, guys look for anything valuable.” After some time The man came back and said: “on your knees” Jeff did so. "make it quick" Jeff said. But when the man was going to fire, the door of Jeff’s apartment fell and 3 officers stormed in. They shot the other two raiders but when they were going to shoot the third, he quickly grabbed Jeff and said: “Don’t fire or he will die!” the leading officer did not doubt immediately and shot the third raider.
When the other officers removed the body’s the leading officer said: “Citizen, stand up.” Jeff did so and said: “Ok, officer.” Then the officer asked: “Are you alright citizen?” Jeff answered “Yes, officer” The officer said: “here are your belongings” and gave Jeff’s stuff back. Jeff thanked the officer and had a sit. After a while Jeff stood up to go back outside but when he left his apartment he heard screaming coming out of the apartment next to him. It was Mia his neighbour he turned on his requesting device and called officers to help. “Is this a raid party?” Jeff thought. Then he heard a gunshot and screams. It was Mia, immediately Jeff stormed in and overpowered the raider. He took his gun and shot the raider. Then the raider's companion tried to shoot Jeff but he immediately took cover behind he cough. Then… he saw Mia lying there, dead. Jeff got angry , got out of cover and shot the man when he was reloading. After 2 minutes officers came in. “Hands up! Get on the wall!" The officer said. Jeff did what the officer said. while going out of the apartment Jeff looked at his neighbor Mia for the last time. After that he followed the squad to the nexus. After telling his story his facts where confirmed by the leading officer who saved Jeff the first time.
2 days later Jeff still thought: "I need to do something about this! I can't just sit here and do nothing while get mugged all around the city."
When Jeff came outside he saw an application for CCA and knew what to do.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I would like my character to join the CCA because I can learn from it (I have already been CCA in 2 other HL2RP servers.)
And I really want to bring order because when people think like: "wow in this server, I can do what I want, I won't be punished/arrested" people will automatically break the rules. And I hate minges/lolrebels and they need to know that they are NOT the boss here the CCA is and if they think they are then we/I will teach them a lesson. I also expect it to be serious and hard work. I would really like the patrolling the streets and possibly defending the entrance to C6 so that we would not get a possible rebel attack.
It will also really enrich my character because he wants to help the CCA stop the raids that killed his friend (Mia) so that there will be no more deaths caused by raiders He will also try to help inform officers where to search because he is a important citizen and knows where raiders/rebels might hide because he had heard story’s of their hiding places by fellow citizens. He also thinks that if the CCA do their jobs good and would have enough recruits that the Combine/CCA might bring peace to the world. He also knows what he is allowed to do and not to do on his rank/in general.

Then he took drugs and his grades dropped. But then his girlfriend came to know and talked him out of it. Then Jeff realized that he had to proof himself he learned better then ever. After that, he lived a good life, He studied hard and was about to graduate. But when Jeff had dinner with his mom and dad for the first time in years. When they came out of the restaurant an ex-college who had mental problems of Jeff's father, jumped in front of them and shot his fathers bodyguard while he tried to take his gun then he shot Jeff's father in the head and tried to kill his mother because his gun blocked, Jeff tried to help his mother but got pushed on the ground, then Jeff saw the bodyguards gun took it and shot the murderer. After that Jeff and his mom got to a local PS (police station) they explained everything and Jeff could go on with his life, but without his dad.
Jeff was at his biology class when he looked out of the window and saw portals coming out of the sky everyone in the school was at the courtyard they saw something coming out of the portal some kind of plane. But then it started to shoot everyone was scared when Jeff though of something his parents he ran to his car and drove to his mother. On his way there he saw chaos everywhere, crashed cars, planes falling out of the sky, cops trying to prevail over these aliens and getting killed in many horrible ways. Jeff couldn’t take in anymore. He drove as fast as he could.
When he finally arrived at his mom’s house it was empty. He kept searching for someone When suddenly another portal came out of the air. When he came back outside he saw some people getting in a shelter. Jeff asked if he could get in to the owners were friendly and let Jeff in. after an hour or so Jeff and the other family heard footsteps they kept themselves quiet. When the sound was gone they were relieved but not for long, right after they wanted to make an escape plan the shelter door opened and some human-like things pulled Jeff and the family out of the shelter. Jeff tried to resist, he took a plank and hits the alien. When he was about to hit the downed alien, his companion took his gun and said, drop it. Jeff dropped the plank and suddenly someone pulled a sac over Jeff’s head. The last thing he heard of the family was the daughter of the man and wife getting shot. After a long ride in some kind of APC Jeff arrived at a city where other people were they all weared the same Jeansy clothes and there also were a lot of human-like things like the ones who kidnapped Jeff then, Jeff saw a man calling himself “the city administrator” explaining that Jeff was in city 45 and that the “things” that kidnapped Jeff where called combine and that these were the CCA also known as the combine civil authority. Jeff knew that this City 45 was the place he had to stay in for the rest of his live so he could better make the best of it.

IC Character Name: Carl Samson
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.
All of Carls life since he was a little child he had wanted to join the military and fight for his country. His Dad and Mom did it, There parents before them, and there parents before them, to a long history of military relatives. When the portal storms arived Carl had just turned 18. He was ready to join the military and fend off against the alien invaders.
Sadly his Mother and Fath did not feel the same and forbid him to join. They told him to keep himself and his sister safe in the cities while they went to work as Soldiers. Carl Obeyed his parents and kept himself and his sister safe. Sadly, near the end of the portal storms his parents were killed from an antlion assault on there camp. Carl being wildly upset ran out of the house leaving his sisters and all his belongings.
Then the seven hour war started and Carl was in the crossfire. By the end of the war Carl frightened, angry, and lonely saw a human face on a huge screen. His name was Wallace Breen and he explained the Combine were here to help us, and sadly Carl believed him. Carl blamed the military of what happened to his parents and trusted the combine. He thought that if he joined the Combine he could live his dream as a military occupant and also avenge his familys death by driving out the antlions and other mindless alien creatures. He would serve the Combine who to a lost, confused, teenager seemed like the best choice!
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
He is very lawful to the Combine. Anything the Combine say is right is right to him because it means it will only get him closer to living his dream as a soldier or law enforcement. Yet he still has a soft side for civilians not armed for not being involved in the human military he considers evil.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
OOC'ly
I expect it to be hard but yet rewarding knowing that I am helping keep the peace. I expect to follow orders and to do as I am told no matter my personal opionion. I will be pushed around a reqruit but also learn on the job and perhaps soon move up the ranking system. I know not to use weapons to abuse anything and will roleplay all matters of law enforcement neccesary.
I want a real roleplay experience. I want to actually feel like im a comnine in a Half-life world. I have always been so fascinated by the combine when I started playin Half-life 2 and would love the oppertunity to roleplay one.
IC'ly
Carl is glad to be part of the combine. His young mind has almost got him brainwashed to thinking most humans are evil. He feels closer to the combine than any human being including his sister who he doesnt even know is alive or not. He knows that sometimes he will have to give citizens cruel and unfair punishment but as long as the combine demand it he will obey.
Carl knows it will be hard to live up to the expectations of being a combine. But now he has something new to make proud. He will always clean his equipment and make sure to follow every proper rule.
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.
When Carl was young his parents were always gone. They were either on duty, at base, or doing things together. Some times they only spent a mere 10 hours a week with Carl and his sister. Although Carl didn't have much contact with his parents, he always tried to make them proud. He got straight A's at school, but the response was only a pat on the head. He would clean the house, but they barley ever noticed. Then Carl realized the true thing that Would make his parents proud would be to join the military.
Soon Carl was busy working out every day. He watched old war movies, studied tactics, lifted weights, and ran track, He was determined to be the best soldier he could be and make his parents proud of him. All of this sucked up his life. He knew nothing more but war and military. His grades suffered, he dropped out of school, the house got dirty, he didnt make friends, and he ignored his sister. Yet none of this got his parents attention.
When the portals arrived he was old enough to join the military. When he was ready to apply his parents forbid him and this crushed him inside. His whole life he had worked for this one moment to make them proud and still they wouldn't let him join. He sat at home and basically was a zombie(dead inside). He only hoped that the portal storm would end and they would come home and stay. He only hoped to see his parents again and hug them and say he only wanted to make them proud. But it was all too late.
When he learned of his parents death he left his house and all his stuff, including his sister. He lived his life hiding and running, confused, upset, and angry. When the 7 hour war arrived he was caught outside in between the war running for his life. Many times almost getting killed. When the war ended Carl was inside one of the main cities and saw a huge screen with a man on it. The man was Wallace Breen and he told the people that the combi were here to help. Carl belived him. He thought that his parents death were the militarys fault and if he was going to avenge his parents he would join the combine to do it.
Most human soon seemed evil to him except for the ones who were completly defenseless. He was more combine than human and he knew he had to live his dream now through the combine. His life now was to only serve the combine because war and enforcement was all he knew. If he would of met the resistance first he might of been a different person, but now he has been brainwashed into loving the combine.

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.
My character has always been loyal to the union. Ever since they first arrived on Earth. Her family all became rebels and she couldn't handle that. She knew they were going to end up dead so she decided that the Civil Protection was her family and devoted her life to it.
She eventually gets raped and it only pushs her closer to the UCA. So she ends up snitching on her own family because she knew it was the right thing to do. Everything in her life seemed to be going good. Her obsession with drinking breen's water soon made her forget her family and everything
other than serving the union.
Eventually one of her friends gets killed by the resistance and she can't take it anymore. She vows to one day join the UCA and serve the union and protect all the innocent citizens. She aspires to become a high ranking unit. One day she hopes to help get rid of the remaining resistance and make what she thinks is a "Perfect World" free of trouble.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Loyal,Depressed,Honest,Brave
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
For me I am expecting it to be a good fun way to roleplay on the server. As a UCA I want to roleplay to the best of my ability as a UCA. I also want to serve the union and have fun. but I also want to help make the server better for others by reducing minges and trying to teach them how to roleplay. If that doesn't work I will at least handle them the best I can so they are not a distraction/mess with other roleplayers.
For my character it is a way for her to serve the union because they have done so much for her she thinks she needs to start giving instead of just taking. She doesn't want anyone to have to deal with the things she has had to deal with. She wants to help keep the streets clean and make the world a better place for everyone. She also want's to be able to assist any wounded or person in need of help in any way she possibly can.
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.
My character was the youngest born into a rather large family with 4 other siblings. Two of her siblings were girls the others were boys. Ever since she could remember she did everything in her power to keep them all out of trouble. Eventually when the union came she immediatly fell in love with them but her family on the otherhand all hated them. They all eventually got moved into city 45. Amber always stayed as close as she could with the combine but her family decided they would rather go into S6 and fight the combine's powers. One day she was upset and needed to visit her family,
because after all even if they were resistance it was her family. So she decided to go into S6.
While there she asked around and tried to find them but instead she found a group of black men who had raped her. Upset and distraught she looked harder and harder for her family. With no luck she went to a bar and asked if anyone knew where they were. She was told where they stayed and went to the apartment room they stayed at. She was hoping the reunion would be amazing, but she was wrong. They all hated her and told her to get out and that she was a disgrace to her family for loving the combine.
So she left, alone and sad she decided to do what she did best. She went to the combine and told them that her family lives in S6 and lied and said they came to the city to visit her telling them their exact location she waited to hear from the UCA again. One day she was outside drinking breens water and she saw her family being brought into the nexus. For one of the first times in her life she felt joy and started reporting everything she say from that point on.

OOC Name:
Heineken
IC Character Name:
Gerard Heineken
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.
My character was a big bad boy first, he almost never left the slums and tried to resist as much as possible.
He was dealing contrabant items like booze and radio's. He was also spreading propoganda about the CCA and always lay traps at the metro station.
After a while there was this big plan with some resistance members. They wanted to mug some Units that were in the metro station.
They all climbed on this empty wagon waiting for the perfect time to jump them, but when it happened, it all failed. They all jumped down at
the same time, but what they did NOT notice was the two oter units that were at the entrance. After they jumped down the units called for backup
the two units started rushing fron the entrance. The first thing they did was shoot, Gerard got hit in his left leg and Hasan got hit in the head, the third member George ran away while Heineken was calling for help, but George didn't even look back. Gerard struggled a lot while trying to get on his feet and hide in the back of the empty wagon.
The units first called for medical backup for the injured units that were getting jumped. And after that, they ran after George to catch him.
After that incident, Gerard realized how dangerous and unloyal the resistance was. He never got caught and.or identified. He's currently scavenging the city for contrabant
to turn in for loyalist points. He is completely living off of rations of the moment and changed his path of life.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
He is currently a loyalist, he scavenges the city to find as much as contrabant as possible to turn it in for Loyalist Points.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
He expects to not be fucked over like in the incident that happened at the metro station. He thinks that everyone in the CCA tries to help eachother AND the city. Since he has turned his back totally to the Resistance, all he tries is to help the citizens. Also, he wants to use the CCA rank to get revenge on the resistance. That incident above was one of the incidents of the dozens. It happened to him, a lot! He also expects to have a better life, he is sick of the default routine of all the citizens! Wake up, get ration, sit in appartement, get another ration and sleep. This repeats over and over every single day, and now he is sick of this! He expects more respect! More domination! And more power!
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.
Gerard Heineken's life is a total blackout, well not totally, but he can't remember anything from his life before city 45. Gerard was a bad boy since City 45, he was a though guy with no mercy. He was also in the resistance. He was a very sneaky person, and also dealing contrabant to citizens, like safe food and water. He also spreaded propoganda constantly. His life had a good cycle, he had more rations then other people and could get his hands on anything he wished. But then that day happens, the day when you get relocated to anoyher city.
The first thing he had to do after he got off the train was simply apply'ing. Even though he never got cought with anti-civil behavious he was a bit shaky in the line. One of the units noticed that and pulled him out of the line and made him apply his full name and CID. He was looking around for a exit, but unfortunately he couldn't escape. He told the unit his name and CID, after that he got patted down. He was still a bit shaky, untill the unit said "Move along!", with a loud voice.
After he got out, he did what everyone did, get a appartment room in the CCH. Almost all of the rooms were full, except room 4B. He claimed the room and went inside, the first thing that went trough his mind was "Do I have to stay in this shithole?". He just went to bed and slept. The next day his back kind of hurt cause of the hard bed. After he washed his face and put his new clothing on, he went to the city to look if there was some kind of passage to the slums.
After a while, he found it but it was restricted. But suddently this retarded citizen was causing lots of trouble at the Ration Distribution Center, and the units at the checkpoint ran there to get a hold of the situation, he took the chance and went trough the checkpoint, he saw this Metro Station and went inside of it. After he got inside he got jumped by a couple of citizens, he was getting beaten up and robbed. But suddently one fo the citizens fell down with blood coming out of his head. He thought it were some units, but it wasn't. It was George, someone from the Resistance he knew from C45. He took out the other two with something looking like a brick.
When he was done with the citizens, he helped Gerard up, laughed and said "What the hell are you doing here!". Gerard explained that he got re-located and George told him to come with him. He followed George to the XCCR and he explained everything to Gerard that he also got relocated and he is picking up his business of what he did back in C45. After he told him the complete story, he asked Gerard if he wanted to join him again with trading contrabant items in the slums, Gerard agreed and everything went like in C45, but then with different people.
After a while they decided to get some firearms by mugging a Unit at the metro station. (( I would really want to retype this part buy it's already explained in question number 1 ))
Now he completely changed his path, he is ahonest citizen, trying to get as much as Loyalist Points as possible. He always scavenges the city for contrabant to get extra rations and buy stuff for his appartement, like toilet paper. He is currently trying to get the Loyalist Armband to show off to the other citizens. Every time he see's something anti-civil, even if it's something minor, his finger automatically presses the button on the request device. He reports almost every single anti-civil behaviour to the Combine Civil Authority and keeps them posted with all the updated.
He's now trying to enjoy his life, he has more rations then all the other citizens since he is very good withs scavenging.

IC Character Name:
- James Arther Johnson
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.
James had been hiding for months before being found and thrown into a city. In the city he found a room in the union civil housing, it had a decent view, the plumbing sometimes works and the bed wasn’t completely full of bugs. After awhile James was able to scrounge up enough tokens to open a shop. For a short while, James felt good about where he was. But that wouldn’t last.
He’d been hearing about rebel activity in the city for awhile but he didn’t believe it. That is, until he found the bolts. James had been wandering through the city and stumbled on a box of bolts for a crossbow. What scared him most though, Is that they appeared to be intended for use. Immediately James was on his request device calling for help. A unit arrived faster than he expected. The apex unit shoved him against a cold brick wall to search him, but James didn’t care. He had helped for the greater good and at that moment, he knew what he must do.
He sat in his house thinking, not emerging until almost days later. Immediately James started walking, his destination: the Combine Civil Authority recruitment office. When he arrived he sat down, the clock on the wall matching his heartbeat as he waited in fear for the office door to open. When he was called in, he was sat down with an application and a black pen. With his hand shaking, James filled out the application as fast as he could, making sure to read back over his writing. His finished application was picked up and carried away, James was left to sit and wonder: Would he be accepted into the ranks of the CCA or would he be tossed to the street like garbage? Forgotten like so many before him. In the end, who will make the choice? And what will it be?
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
- loyal, inventive, Lawful.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
For me, The CCA will be a great RP experience. I used to be a CCA officer in an old HL2rp server, but the server was dyeing and almost no players were active. I mostly hope to become a member of the GEAR division. I look forward to RP building objects and sometimes controlling a scanner. My favorite part of the CCA will most likely be the militaristic feel, and the pure depth of the role-play.
For my character, I think it will be an interesting trip if not a completely terrifying one. In his eyes he’s walking straight up to the biggest military force in the universe and asking to join it. He will be afraid, but happy that he is finally doing something with his life. James is a quiet individual so I think it will take some time before he starts mingling with his co-workers. All I know is I won’t be the only one looking forward to being a CCA officer.
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.
He glanced away from the newspaper towards his night stand. Tired of reading the old newspapers, he sat and thought. The news had made it abundantly clear: Humanity had lost and “They” had won. He thought back to that faithful day. The day that the war took place. He had sat cowering in fear, but then again… what else could he have done? The world was dead and everyone knew it.
From that day on it was a constant battle for survival. He had heard what was happening, the killing, the slavery, and the “cities” popping up around the world. His only choice was to hide, so that is what he did. The house he lived in had been boarded up so that no light could escape and alert any onlookers. He scavenged for food during the night and set traps to catch any unwary animal that may pass by. Life was hard but he managed to scrape by just barely. After all, when the day was done he was still alive and that’s all that mattered… right?
Returning from his deep thought to reality, he stood up from his old cracked leather couch and walked towards his bed. Sitting down and flicking on the old flashlight he had saved, He picked up his journal. The light from the flashlight shined on the book and illuminated his face. The page he turned to was his project for an award: A biography. A single tear rolled down his cheek as he read through his life.
The year was 1989, on that day I was born. My parents: Marissa and Calvin Johnson couldn't be any happier. Their new baby boy was as healthy as could be. After all the commotion they finally settled on a name. My name would be James, James Arthur Johnson. My childhood was normal. I had a stable household, adequate grades and even a few crushes here and there. One of my fondest memories is when I was about 10, my brother Don was playing a prank on his old friend Jaden. The prank in question was to throw a spoiled egg into Jaden’s mailbox. My task was to throw the egg into the mailbox, although upon throwing the egg into the mailbox Jaden’s dog started barking. Hearing the dog barking I ran as fast as I could. When I finally tired down, I laughed at the fact that I’d almost run a mile in my fear. Not to mention that I had left my brother behind at Jaden’s house. Years later I finally became of age and started college around 2003. A few parties and pranks almost cost me my education, but I managed to get my doctorate in electronics around the year 2013.
The rest of the page had been torn away, but James new what had happened just three years after his degree. He knew all too well…

OOC Name: Wingedillidan
IC Character Name: Zalor Malorax
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.
During an abrupt outbreak of rebels on the upper floors of my apartment complex, Zalor Malorax's parents and siblings were killed by the rebellious scum. Now Zalor seeks out justice and revenge on those who had wronged him prior, and joining the ranks of the Combine Civil Authority will get him on the right path to a true law system and a hard-working job. As-well-as seeking out and detaining, in any way possible, rebellious scum. Though revenge is a powering factor, Zalor tries to suppress his feelings in order to become more accepted with the Combine.
In addition to being directly affected by the rebels and their murderous actions, Zalor is a citizen of the oppression and stands under the Combine Civil Authority with grace and respect. It would be most honorable if Zalor Malorax were to become a member of this dedicated group and he promises to put his efforts to the best and most efficient use of the CCA. He will also attempt to use his unique personal traits to the best of the CCA's aid, as he wants to put most, if not all, of his efforts towards dedication in any way to help the Combine. If his traits are not needed, he will not attempt to force them to interfere less in CCA operations.
Since growing up passed the traumatic events of Zalor's past, he has closely inspected the rigorous routines of the patrolling officers near his apartment complex; he eventually learned a lot about what the CCA are there for and there performances. He strongly agrees to all actions done by the Combine Civil Authority and would respond to any command and/or requests from his superiors with grace and 100% loyalty. He also hopes to help, in any way he can, to battle any rebellious citizens who are causing trouble with the CCA. But will still follow orders in the event he is prohibited from doing such actions.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
- Kind - Zalor is kind to all who are non-rebellious to the CCA.
- Loyal - Zalor would effectively take his own life if it were to fill an active command.
- Vengeful - Though kind and loyal, Mr. Malorax falls victim to a stalled period of flashback whenever someone mutters a comment or name that relates to his tragic past. But once returned to his normal state, he can be very edgy.
- Dedicated - This man is truly a hardworking citizen regardless of being enacted into the CCA or not.
- Respectful - Zalor respects all of his peers, fellow citizens, and authorative counterparts alike, as long as they are loyal to the CCA themselves.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I expect the CCA to be collective team of awesome roleplayers who rarely abuse their positions and never break their roleplay stride. And I expect that said team is a carefully selected group of GMOD players who aren't annoying toddlers who just run around and troll the entire server for their leisurely activities. In addition, I foresee that the CCA will be similar to most other RP communities I have participated in, fun, filled with roleplays, non-abusive, and giving the citizens the same amount of fun in the form of RP. All while following server rules and those admins who have set, and/or enforce, those rules.
Zalor expect the Combine Civil Authority to be a collection of hard work and dedicated labor. Whether it be broken spirits and souls during training, or breaking spirits and souls of those who resist, the CCA will provide it all. Zalor also expects to be worked and demanded upon by his superior officers on a regular basis to keep his status and efficiency levels in check and to increase his hard work. All while trying to quench his lust for revenge on the rebel citizens and his goals for acceptance with the Combine oppression.
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.
Zalor Malorax was born on August 30th, 1992 in Seattle, WA within a close family of 5, a loving sister, a mischievous, though still caring, brother, and 2 parents who loved and cared for their family, regardless of any obstacles that would oppose them. Zalor carried out a life of an average citizen of the US, who was close to his family at nearly all times. He carried on through college education in Chemical Engineering at the University of Seattle. His family and himself lived downtown for most of his life and enjoyed being together. He commuted back and forth between his house in the suburbs of the city and downtown onto campus. Unfortunately, in 2004, his studies were interrupted as the portals began to errupt and he was forced into secure shelter to await further instruction. For several months Zalor lived in what felt like captivity as he saw the world around him change for, what seemed to be, the worse; luckily his family remained with him through these troubled times and they all supported each other.
The Seven Hour War struck and Zalor's hideaway was exposed fairly quickly, he and his family were forced into City5 for relocation. The Malorax family continued their lives under the new oppression that faced them. Regardless of the dramatic change in everything, they were still happy and loving.
After being forced to transfer from City 5 at the age of 20 in 2012 with his family, for a reason that is still not known, Zalor finds himself in the midst of City 18 in hopes to resume his normal life as a citizen loyal to his new authority, the CCA. However, nearly 3 months later, a band of rebellious citizens gathered in the upper levels of Zalor's assigned apartment complex. Only to create an abrupt outbreak of violence and anger towards the Combine Civil Authority, during which the Malorax family was brutally murdered in an example of outrage towards the Combine. Fortunately, Zalor was safe as he was returning from his routine errand of delivering approved rations to his home. But to his dismay, Zalor returned and was shocked as he slowly opened the door into his corpse-filled and blood-stained apartment.
4 years later, Zalor is still found in City 18 and still seeks revenge on those who have dared perform such a horrific display of murderer on the innocent, let alone murderer of the only people he truely loved. He feels that joining the CCA would give him more power in detaining the rebellious threat in the city that once wronged him, and give him a place in society to show off his hard work, loyalty, and respect. However, his work may be interrupted by his past, as he desparately fights the remaining thoughts of his loved ones' bodies murdered across the floors and walls of his apartment. He believes that the issue would be resolved with his thoughts on a new job. He has been getting medical attention whenever the CCA permitted him the access, though he has asked very sparingly as to not interfere with the jobs and duties of his respectful authority figures.
Zalor Malorax now anxiously awaits results from his recently submitted application, hoping he was accepted. Until then, he carrys out his duties as a normal, loyal, citizen of City 18.
OOC Details
1. How long have you played on role-playing servers in general? At least 3-4 weeks in playtime, real play time, not just 3-4 weeks in life playing on a server and going out with friends and stuff... A good 504+ hours of GMOD RP playtime.
2. How long have you played on serious servers? At least 40% or more of those 3-4 weeks of RP server playtime.
3. How long have you played on Catalyst Gaming? 4 hours.
4. What Time zone are you in? Eastern.
5. In what country do you live? United States
6. How old are you? 18
7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience? The one true RP moment I had, was when I first really felt connected into an actual story within an actual world of Roleplay. Though this was before Catalyst has taken Orange Cosmos as a server. I was being placed in a real scenario as a medic in a hostage situation atop the radio tower in the city. Roleplaying in nearly 15-30 minutes of continuous hostage and fear RP actions, it was great. The mayor came in, got us out, and we were waved out; I believe the mayor paid the posted demands by the criminals; regardless, it felt pretty quality. Especially when everyone actually RP'd and had fun at the same time without being stupid trolls.
8. Do you consider yourself a good listener? Yes, many atimes have I been asked something to do and never had I asked, "Wha?" In response, but that can happen at times, I'm only human.

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.
Jayson was a part of Children Service's and worked most of the time with children, but also with a lot of parents too. Daily, he would see children that were abused, hurt, raped, and so on by their parents, strangers, or bullies from the school. Sometimes it was the parents getting the hurt from the child, but nevertheless he had to put up with it. He almost felt like he should be doing more. He would then soon find out... After the Seven Hour War
After the Seven Hour War, Jayson was transported to a camp, where all families were being separated before his eyes, but alas, there was nothing he could do. But, as this was happening, a large group of rebels came, are started opening fire at everyone. It didn't matter if they were man, woman, child or combine, they sprayed all those bullets with no sign of mercy. He ducked for cover, as combines were determined to kill the rebels, they were destroy his cover he had found, and as he got up, he was shot twice in the arm.
Many hours later, he had found himself in a hospital bed, and his shoulder bandaged up. He looked up and saw an armband on the Combine, and saw it read: "City 18" on it. He knew he was in the aid of the combine, and ever since that raid by those rebellious scumbags, he would sign up to become part of the CCA. He promised he will take care of all Rebels and Resistance with-in the cities, and keep all citizens safe and peaceful.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
-Loyal
-Honest
-Menacing
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
From what Jayson knows about, CCA are one hell of a tough, well-kept Combines. He knows that they will stop at nothing, so that all Citizens are kept at peace. Jayson knows that he will need to be dedicated and loyal to the CCA, so he needs to keep his head up, and learn to be one with the Combines.
When Jayson was at the camp, he always heard light talk about how the Combines are bad people, and their torturous beings not from this planet. Jayson had thought this was true, until the Rebels attacked the camp. The second that happened, he knew that they were protecting us from them, not about to throw us into a pit of fire. He even saw some of them telling the people to find cover.
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.
Jayson was born on July 12, 1990. His mother, once had given birth to him, died from what the doctors called a "Maternal death". Jayson's father could not take this lightly and began thrashing about the room, screaming "Why God!" . He was an atheist. The doctor pulled Jayson out of the room, and since Jayson's father was in such a mental state where he could only repeat those 2 words, he was put in a mental institute for 8 months. Even the doctors said that this was no mental breakdown. During that time, the doctor gave the liberty of naming him "Jayson".
Ever since that, they put Jayson in an orphanage until his father came out, but for some reason, his father never came to pick him up. So he spent 13 years in an orphanage. Everyone of the kids there would fight constantly, so one day, Jayson thought he would see what made these children fight. After every fight, Jayson would ask every child why they would fight, what they got out of it, and so on and so forth. Once Jayson interviewed all the kids, they finally came to a resolution to the point where there was not a fight at all for 2 months, until most of them were adopted and new children came and it just started all over again.
Not 1 person would come pick him up, because he was so silent during this. Jayson constantly saw children come and go. Jayson would always ponder to himself, "When will I be one of those kids where I'll have a nice home, instead of this crummy old place..." . Then, one day, 2 very rich, nicely dressed couples came and saw him. Jayson knew that this day was the day he would finally leave, and live a normal life. Boy, was he wrong.
Once they had adopted Jayson, they took him to there nice mansion, gave him nice clothing, shoes and whatnot. They enrolled him in a private school, and from that day on, he thought this was a normal life. Apparently not. They forced him to study day and night, no T.V., no hanging out with friends, and even if he gave the phone number to his friends and such, his parents would always be the first to answer and if they asked if Jayson was home, his parents would say "Wrong number".
Once Jayson finally hit the age of 19, he got a apprenticeship to the CSC (Child Services Care) and was earning enough money to get away from his parents. 2 years past, and he was getting no promotion, and he was growing tired of all this abuse that these children and parents were getting. So Jayson was about to complain to the CEO of CSC when the word of The Seven Hour War hit. Thus, leading up to the events of the combine camp, the rebels attacking to camp, being shot in the shoulder, and City 18.

I lead the stand and resisted when they were attempting to relocate us, and when they started to handcuff, and beat us, we got angry, and fired back, once all the Police forces were down, we raided the mayor, screaming VIVA LA POLICE!

At the age of ten, his mother died in a local store robbery. Devastated, he tried to find a way to cope with this event. He became interested in revenge, though he knew he could never get it.
Since his father was never around, he got into much trouble with the police. After years of incriminating things, Andrew was 17. He decided to change his ways for the better of the people. Robert forgot about his past, his father and his mother. He looked only towards the future, a improved society he contributed to. Little did he know that is vision was about to be made seemingly horrible reality.
Andrew was nineteen at the first threat of the unknown. During the rise of the still unknown, Andrew applied for placement in a Police Academy.

And maybe I can finally have a useful role in the server. I expect there to be a lot of problems that I have to deal with, sounds fun to me.

IC:
My character expects to be able to help general society, and promote civil action. He wants a challenge that is not easily overcome.

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.
Andrew was born in 1986, His life from birth to simply age ten was plush, and delicate. He never had a worry, he never harmed a thing. He did as he did, no one told what was right nor wrong. His father owned a couch dealership in <INSERT CLASSIFIED INFORMATION HERE>, and was always busy with business. When his mother was killed in a local store robbery by a gang, this made him have all then time in the world. Thus as in an corrupted family,the son committed crimes.
Andrew at the age of 16, committed a act of robbery. He was horribly disgusted with him self, for that was how his mother died. After a year in a local prison, Andrew decided to change his ways. Hey paid for all damages and fines, and even donated his fortune to the local government. He had A new mind set, improve the human society.
A year later, Andrew had given most of his time to society. He had not committed one questionable act of crime. In fact, he had prevented most crime in his area by helping the police force spot criminal hideouts. This all soon came to a end when the unknown appeared. During this immediate takeover, Andrew was finally signing up for a placement in a local Police Academy. To bad the unknown neutralized all other force of threatening authority. Andrew did no take this takeover lightly, for he thought they had only bad intentions. The Unknown took every civilian in his area to a new city. Andrew was aboard a train, and he heard a voice that sounded of secretly evil intentions. Although he
was suspicious, he passed this as nothing more than a wrong judgement.
Since Andrew was 19, he was moved to City 32. There he lived for eleven years under the oppression of the unknown. During his time there he earned respect for them. The more he learned about their goals, the more excited he became. He soon realized he wanted to join them. No question.
Before applying in City 32, he was moved to City 18. Andrew is now fully realized and ready to aid Humanity in good civil actions. He is now awaiting orders for signing up.

A day passed, developed my char, next thing I knew I had a radio. I was having the time of my life playing like 'Roger that' and 'Over'. Things didn't go down hill from there either, I found a weapon. Got some ammo and my Char was suddenly a bad-ass. After all this crazy recruiting shit, I got in a massive firefight with Over-watch. Sadly I only killed one, as I was playing shoot to miss (It is pretty fun). I got PK'd and thanked the people for a awesome role playing experience.

Since Thomas Anderson was a little boy, he dreamed of a society. A society perfect and with no crime or any fighting, but his dream, he thought would never come true. In Kindergarten, Thomas was a troubled and lost soul. He was fighting and hitting kids with rulers, throughout his whole school career, he was expelled from six schools, and two entire school districts.
By the time he was fourteen, he dropped out of middle school and started to work at Wendy's. He was living in a rundown apartment and was a pure alcoholic, his girlfriends were all skanks and crackwhores that were too helpless to resist the beatings he gave out. By the time he was sixteen, six of his ex-girlfriends were missing, and Tom murdered one and was convicted of first degree murder.
He was sentenced to life in prison, he was in jail for three years before the unknown invaded Earth. Within those seven hours, he escaped and was captured by the Combine. He was shipped to City 17 at first, then to City 8, and finally he was shipped permanently to City 18. Since he was shipped to City 18 he realized that the society he dreamed of, was right in front of him the whole time. He was glad to be in City 18, and he wishes to help keep the city and society safe and secure.

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.
Tom Anderson was a troubled person. He was a bully in his school days and failed every year. He barely made it through middle school. During his High School years he became a drug addict, guzzling down beer bottles and smoking blunts like there was no tomorrow.
He also formed a gang. They were basically a group of guys who wanted to get drunk and shoot people. However, Tom only took place in one robbery, that was at a liquor store. Tom accidentally shot a woman in the neck and he ran away without taking any money. He later found out that the woman he shot was the mother of a child. He decided to crank up the drugs to ease the pain.
He then turned his anger on his girlfriends, killing seven of them, he hid six of their bodies successfully. However, one of his neighbors heard a gunshot and called the Police when he was killing his seventh girlfriend. Since then he had a large disrespect for authority, until he was transferred to City 18, he realized the dream he had long ago. Came true.

IC Character Name: Mark Wilson
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.
Mark Wilson wants to join the Combine Civil Authority for a few reasons. The main reason he wants to join is because he wants to exact a small revenge on those around him who complain about the poor living conditions. He is angry at them because as a young child, he was beaten and abused by his parents. He feels that citizens have no reason to complain and it’s his duty to show them what true pain is like.
Mark also want to feel like he is part of something significant. Throughout his life, he had nothing, both before and during the occupation. He was shunned by citizens and had no family, long-term friends, or anyone to really talk to. If he were to be accepted, it would be an easy transition, as he has nothing to leave behind.
Despite being emotionless towards others around him, Mark is still curious to how things operate from the inside. He wants to see things from the Combine’s point of view. He wants to learn why the Combine treat people like this. He is also interested in hearing the opinions of Civil Authority officers regarding the citizens.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy) Lawful, Loyal, Self-Sufficient.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
For myself, I am expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be exciting as it would be completely new point of view for me. Previously, I would have been always role-playing a character that goes through the same routine all the time, is bossed around, and is meaningless to others. I’m hoping that being a Civil Authority would not only increase my role-playing skills, but I feel my hardened and emotionless character, Mark Wilson, would fit in well with the Half Life 2 Universe as a Civil Authority officer.
Speaking through Mark Wilson, he expects the Combine Civil Authority to be a refreshing experience. As stated previously that his reasons of joining are to get revenge and cause pain, he would expect this to be a fitting job for him. He knows that the Civil Authority involves a lot of patience and there is a lot to learn about how things are done. He is hoping that if he does well enough, he may be able to increase his rank and importance to others.
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.
Mark Wilson was born on July 14th, 1983. He lived in a suburban neighborhood filled with drugs, violence, and crime. His parents were avid drug users and he saw firsthand what those drugs did. He was beaten often by his parents and was malnourished. At the age of 9, he finally had enough of this treatment and fled from his home. Although Mark had nowhere to go or any idea of what the world was like, he knew nothing could be as bad as his home. Being a homeless child, he had nothing. A few days after he ran away, a police officer found Mark sleeping on a park bench and took him in. Because his parents never bothered to look for him or inform anyone of his disappearance, the police knew nothing about his past and placed him in an orphanage. At the orphanage, he was sent to a local elementary school and was placed in the third grade class. At school, Mark finally was able to speak to children his own age and make friends with a few. Because he had never received the most basic of education, Mark struggled to keep up with his friends and others in his class. Despite his best efforts to learn the material, Mark was held back a year while his friends went ahead.
After being held back two more years, he was finally allowed to move onto the fourth grade at age 12. Being the largest and oldest pupil in the grade, the other students were afraid to approach him. Mark felt isolated and alone from everyone else. He didn’t know why others were scared of him, or why he even went to school. It was at this point he decided to work hard and vowed to graduate from high school. For the rest of grade school, middle school, and high school, Mark was never again held back and scrapped by with C’s and the occasional B. Finally, on June 6th, 2003, Mark graduated from high school at the age of 20. He didn’t plan on continuing his education after this, and set off with no idea what to do. He worked at odd jobs here and there, and earned enough money to eat. Mark continued with this until the fateful day when the world changed forever.
Mark was working at a carwash when the Portal Storms suddenly erupted around the world. Marked stopped his work and watched as a blue wave from a Super Portal approached him. As it came closer, he saw buildings shaking and falling apart as the wave passed over them. Mark knew something was wrong and he turned and ran. He only got a few yards before the wave reached him and he was knocked to the ground. After a few minutes of being knocked out on the ground, he regained consciousness and crawled over to a nearby building as the sound of gunfire came from nearby. From a window, he saw giant tripod like creatures firing into windows and doorways while bodies were sprawled all over the street, some still stirring feebly. He quickly backed away from the window and searched for the basement stairs as one of the giant tripods turned towards his building. He found the door, opened it, and dived down the stairs as the building above him came apart. Mark hid behind a washing machine while the screams of the dying and the sounds of guns came from overhead. What seemed like days passed before Mark ventured up the stairs to the surface. He was greeted by the rubble of the building strewn around him and thus began his new life as a citizen of the Universal Union.

After a period of about 20 minutes, the police reached an agreement with the raiders and secured the release of all the hostages and the Mayor.

OOC Name: Keyhen, and my names on other games (in case of emergancy) range from Keyhenna to Keyhen.
IC Character Name:Rodrick Feding
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.
Before the Seven Hour War, Rodrick was a normal person who grew up like almost every other kid, he lived in normal suburb. He went to school, had friends, eventually became a teenager (who got in trouble with friends sometimes) and in general, had fun. Years passed, and soon enough the portals started opening, and decided he should move the city, like what many other people around the United States seemed to be doing. After the combine came and started the war, he hid in his apartment and was soon relocated to City 17, then relocated again to City 18.
Rodrick has been in the city for a while now, and has seen his fair share of crimes, but recently there have been many more secret crimes that the Civil Protection havn't noticed yet. Some crimes have been seen in the apartments, along with the ration distribution building and the D2 walls. He has seen no Civil Protection around the blockade to D2 every once in a while, leading people to run in and steal blood packs from the old hospital (Sorry if my grammar is off here, I have a issue with posting on forums every once in a while, I try to type something and the scroller keeps going up), which led him to apply for the CP.
He knows if he is able to get into the CP the training will be hard, but the positives will overcome the negatives. Rodrick wants to help those innocent civilians and keep them from entering rebel movements that have happened in a few other cities, and were very soon crushed. Most of all, he wants to help protect sociedy from becoming the apes and ultimatly destroying themselves.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Rodrick is lawful and trustworthy, and dedicated to his job. He wont hesitate to amputate someone being unlawful.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I am expecting the training to be hard, but I will last through it. I have played as a CP on different RPs before (Dark RP, ect.), and have tried to keep the peace while people built. I do hope training and the actual thing will be a challange every day, as that is what will keep me going. I hope to get immersed in the RP and want to see what the other side is like, instead of being afraid of the combine.
My character expects, as said before, the training to be a challenge, but he is ready to step up to the plate. He hopes he will be able to protect the citizens from any rebels in the city, and try to stop the crimes, even though they will go on as more people have to be relocated to the city.
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.
Rodrick grew up in a suburb outside of New York City, having a normal childhood. His father was a soldier and his mother was a lawyer. He had many friends and was somewhat popular, but had a hard time keeping girlfriends. During his teenage years, he got in trouble every once in a while, but it wasnt usually his fault. His friends eventually left him, and he became one of the unpopular kids. He still had a few friends, but didnt mind, as he was used to being alone. During his last year in school, he became quite expirienced with computers.
Soon after he finished school, he bought his own house and made his own computer repair job in his house, making a normal income. His grandmother died soon after he got a house, changing him to be very lawful. However, it wasnt long until the portals started opening up. He along with his parents and many friends moved to the New York City, as many of his friends did. He managed to find a normal apartment with his parents, even though many were homeless, and took up his job again. But it wasnt before long that the combine invasion and the Seven Hour War began.
During the war, his mother was killed after being put in with a group of soldiers, and his dad died after being shot by a elite. Three hours into the war, he was hiding when a friend came in and told him about the death of his parents. He and the rest of the people in the apartments were then moved to the lobby. Not soon after, the Combine came in and took Rodrick and the others and put them into the normal city suits, and then moved him to City 17. His time there was very short lived, as a month after a small rebel movement began and was quickly crushed, but was relocated with many others for reasons unknown. He was moved to City 18, where he currently lives.

2. How long have you played on serious servers? I have played on serious servers for a few months, about 5.

6. How old are you? 16
7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience? My most memorable experience was in another servers HL2-RP server. An event was going on, where rebels were holed up in a small town, me being one of them (Its the HL2 map where you have to cross the bridge to put down the combine forcefield). The servers CP units came after we were ready, and eventually me and three others, along with the citizens of the town, had to fall back to a building on the side of the bridge. The others were down below, preventing the CP from comming across the catwalks of the bridge, while me and the three others were up above, preventing them from jumping down straight into the buildings. Soon enough we were overcome, and had to surrender. The remaining people were put onto a train and sent back to the city.
8. Do you consider yourself a good listener? I am usually a good listener, but when i am tired, sometimes i may slack off.
