OOC Name: Jonco

IC Character Name: Robert Cox

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.
Robert Cox went through a lot before and after the seven hour war. He wants to make a difference really bad. Robert has worked extremely hard as a loyalist. He works vigorously to better his reputation as a loyalist. Robert has been through many situations such as getting told off about his loyalist activities by other citizens. Robert looks up to the Combine. He believes they are doing the right thing and wants to join their ranks and help with anything he possibly can.

Even though Robert generally wants to join the Combine Civil Authority to help others, Robert also wants the benefits of being an officer of City 45. He wants good food, a nice place to sleep, and the authority role he would be given. Robert has always had a love for the military during his younger years. Recently, he has began to think about what it would be like to be in a military-esque group. And in these days, the only military-esque group a person can find is the Combine Civil Authority.

Robert has been harassed by the Civil Combines many times, but he does not take it personal. The Combines are the reason that he is alive, and he wants to repay them. Robert think that his personality and actions make him perfect for the officer position. He believes in order and stability in an environment like City 45. Robert has seen citizens trying to rebel against the Civil Combines, but he has also seen them fail. The Civil Combines took over earth in seven hours, and Robert believes that he has nothing more to lose.

Robert has watched the officers of City 45 for several months. He has changed his whole lifestyle, just to be like them. Robert also has sacrificed many friendships for the Civil Combines. He believes in their cause. He wants to make a difference. He has the skill set. He has the motivation. Robert is ready for the next step in his life for the Universal Union.


2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
My character is Loyal, Intelligent, and very Trustworthy.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
As a Citizen, I am expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be a great experience. I hope to be in a very strict environment. I'm expecting my duty to be protecting sociability and enforcing laws. I expect to follow my superior's orders and do whatever I am told. I'm also looking forward to detaining rebels or Citizens disobeying the laws.

Another perk I am hoping to look forward to is exploring the Nexus. I have been in the Nexus many times to visit the Civil Administrator, but I have never seen the whole Nexus. Whenever I am in the City 45 Plaza, I always see a Combine patrolling. I'm also looking forward to patrolling the streets and keeping them clean. My character is more than ready to become a Combine Civil Authority.


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.
Robert Cox was born in a New York City slums in February 3, 1987. When he was young, his father deceased from brain cancer. After the death, his mother started using drugs and drinking alcohol. Soon after, she couldn’t take the pain of not living with her husband anymore and she killed herself. Robert came home from school one day to his mother hanging from the ceiling. Robert was 12 at the time his mother died. Ever since, he has been moving from home to home. He led a relatively boring and poor life. At age 22, he started his own business with a loan from the bank. The business became a huge success and it soon went global. When Robert’s life couldn’t get any better, it got worse. The Combines started to invade the earth.  They launched a multi-pronged, all out assault on the entire earth. The Combines did the same thing to the Nihilianth’s Homeworld. They enslaved all of the Vortigaunts and even their leader. The Vortigaunts were brought to earth during the invasion. Some of the Vortigaunts allied with humans starting a rebellion against the Combines. The rebellion started the Seven Hour War. The Combines took over earth in exactly Seven Hours. Survivors were enslaved and put into different cities. After the seven hour war in 2015, Robert lost everything - his money, his life, his reputation, everything. He was majorly depressed for a good six months as combine rule had taken everything from him. Soon, however, he was walking along City 45 in the slums district. He went there sometimes to remember what it was like back in his childhood days. When Robert was almost half way done with his walk, an insane rebel popped up behind him with a 9mm pistol. As the rebel pointed it up against his head, Robert (oddly enough) didn't want to die. He lost everything, but still felt like he could make a difference in the world. The rebel said, "Any last words?" when out of nowhere three Civil Protection officers pointed their sub-machine guns at the insane rebel. The rebel dropped his pistol after a few seconds and sighed. Ever since that moment, Robert has dedicated his life to helping and serving the Combine Civil Authority. He helped out with minor things like reporting suspicious behavior, contraband items and rebel locations. But it wasn't enough for Robert. Soon, Robert had some loyalist points and decided to apply to become an officer of the Civil Protection. He was denied by the Uniform High Command for lack of dedication. Robert respected the command’s decision. But this didn’t stop him. A few months afterwards, Robert had racked up enough loyalist points to apply again. Now he awaits the decision patiently.
