Personally, i'm not a fan of the fact that this may be used as a weapon with your character going insane and attempting to murder everybody with it. Mainly due to the fact that unless the person performing such an act is talented or know's their stuff, they'll be complaints over the weapon being used as a means to powergame. As Kom'Rk said, if any administrators have seen this person on the server, now would be the time to comment.

Right now i'm leaning towards a -support due to the fact that i've yet heard or seen your roleplaying abilities, combined with the hand-to-hand combat advantage a hatchet can give a person.

I'm willing to change anything in the app. if needed.

Authorization(s):
A rusty, sharpened hatchet.

Name: Harold Slokum
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Affiliation: None

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
---
Harold look among the shelves of the old house, Wyatt downstairs, also searching for anything of use.

"Wyatt, I think I found something."

Wyatt climbed the ricketing stairs of the house, Harold wielding a dulled, rusty and worn hatchet in his hand.

"Uh... good." He said tentatively. "Try not to cut your hand off..."

Harold and Wyatt moved outside to the nearby house, the planks and boards on it suffering from rot.

Harold swung the hatchet against the board, cracking through it.

He swung, and swung, and swung. Board by board...
---
Wyatt gathered some (non-rusty) nails from the closet in the Inn, bring them and the chopped boards to the basement.

Harold, mean-while, scavenged the car for any more supplies.

"Augghahh!"

Wyatt screamed from the basement, grasping his hand, which he had hit with a hammer while trying to build the birdhouse.

He attempted to keep calm as he walked up from the basement.

"I-I think I broke my hand..."

Harold examined the wound, raising an eyebrow, then sighing.

"Yeah... I think it's broken. We need to make a splint for it..."

"I have the root."

"Ah! Awesome."

"We need to clean it, first."
---
Harold ventured to and fro from the lake, filling the old jar of Union supplements with fresh, clean water, taking a drink himself and washing the root.

He sighed, walking down the cliff face.
---
Wyatt looked around, a wolf flashing out of the corner of his eye.

"Who's there?"

The wolf growled, slowly stalking Wyatt. A lone hunter.

"Hello?!"

It pounced, clawing into Wyatt, tearing and biting his flesh.

"No! Help me! Someone! HELP!"

Wyatt tried his hardest to push the wolf off, but he couldn't.
---
Harold finally ventured back to the Inn, only to find his friend in a bloody slump on the ground.

He dropped the jar and ran as fast as his legs could possibly carry himself.

Kneeling, he choked back tears.

"The... the animals... they came... they did this..."

Harold took hold of Wyatt's collar, bringing him to the safety of the basement. He tore pieces off of his jumpsuit, making makeshift bandages.

"Damn it all! I need medical supplies!"

By now, Wyatt was dying, slowly, painfully, of blood loss. He began to have seizures, and knowing there was nothing he could do, he sharpened his hatchet, knowing he may need to kill his friend to save any more suffering.

"Kill me..."

Harold gripped the hatchet tightly in hand, scared and afraid. He couldn't. He couldn't murder a man, even to save them.

All too soon, Wyatt died, slumped in blood and in fetal position.

<::|| Ugh... I had to assist in the amputation of a child yesterday... But now, when I think about it, the commander is right. If we allowed a child to live under the conditions we enforce, it would be like water-boarding them. The stunbatons... they leave scars, burns. I joined the CCA to alleviate myself from the beatings... The beatings aren't physical now, they're mental. I need to ask a SHIELD if I can be prescribed some anti-depressants. I can't take shit like this. ||::>

<::|| Well, that's something I want to forget... That poor guy. Had a family, too. I wish them the best of luck in survival. The Outlands are patrolled by Overwatch, which aren't forgiving. Yesterday, one said 402 would look good with a meat-hook in his head. Eugh. As of now,  I have been in service for... 14 days? I'm not sure. I was recruited sometime near the end of March. My 9mm SCIP is nice, despite being about 5 days old, it still has a silver shine to it. Every now and then, I take it down to the range and pop off a few rounds. I imagine the targets being my worst enemies, and the oldest dickheads I know. Then, of course, detainment. It fucks with my minds... Every time I see an amputation, I think about leaving service. I considered a memory wipe, once, but I'm not sure if even an 01 could stand some of the shit I think about. Maybe the commanders. Even then, it would confuse them. Heh.  I better get back on duty, before a commander or high commander see's what I'm doing. Signing off. ||::>

Mark Facri's Civil Authority Application

OOC Name: Neutrino(Faster Than Light)

IC Character Name: Mark Facri

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 is like everyone else, scared, always in fear. His fear, however, leads him to follow authority rather than oppose it. This fear was originally the reason for helping the Union; however, he was assaulted by a man for his political stance. This was a real turning point for Mark, causing him to not help simply out of fear, but in order to correct.
 Mark was captured by the Union’s propaganda, and began to do his work out of loyalty and benefits. So, Mark helped out around City 45 as much as he could. He began to meet friends such as Dustin LaRosa, whom urged him into Civil Protection. He worked up his image as much as he could, trying to make a good impression on the units.
At times, he questioned whether what he was doing was right or wrong. These feelings were stomped out, once again, by his friends. They urged that what he was doing was right, and Mark was suckered in. Eventually, Mark applied for CCA, but was rejected. Still hopeful and still helping, motivated by benefits, he applied again.


2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Ready, Willing to follow authority, Honest, Brave

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
Out of character, I expect being accepted into the CCA would be very demanding roleplay, which would require me to pay attention and listen.
It would most definitely be hard, almost deliberately, and require effort. If I fuck up, it would require some serious correction, which in some but few ways would be 'fun'.
In character, Mark would be treated to some serious work and benefits, including CCA grade rations and supplements, a place of authority, and a nice, lemon scented suit. He would be able to repair technology, do medical work, or patrol, depending on division. It would be considerably a step up from civilian life-style, and a bit disorienting at first. However, once he gets used to it, he would attempt to be the best he can as a member of the 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.
{BEFORE THE WAR}
[Childhood]

   At the age of 4, Mark lost his parents to a car wreck. He was then transferred to an orphanage in northern New York, where he developed many friends. Despite his friends, the fact that his parents were dead always saddened him, and made him develop a certain sensitiveness to death, gore, and blood. At the age of 6, he developed a fascination with working with mechanics. It was not surprising to walk into his room to find many disassembled toys and mechanical parts. He attempted to assemble these items into different machinery, but failed horribly. At age 9, he was buying many robotics kits, assembling them in different ways. At age 11, he decided what his college major would be, despite being in 6th grade. He made high math grades, which were required for engineering, and many other technology related subjects, such as circuitry, programming, and more.
   At 16, he received massive head trauma from a car accident, in which he went front first into a brick wall, giving him amnesia, which was diagnosed as near permanent. He required large amounts of rehabilitation, and had to re-learn much of the knowledge he had accumulated over the years. It was surprising to realize he had no parents, as no one had adopted him. Finally, at age 17, 1 year into rehab, Mark was adopted to Kyle and Juliet Facri, although, this would not last long, as 4 years later, Mark left to go to college.

[Adulthood]
   Mark, as stated above, was a very educated man. He made very high grades in math, which is always good in the engineering department. He applied for many technology institutes, such as MIT, CIT, et cetera. He was rejected by most, despite his skill, but was eventually accepted into TTU, Texas Tech University. He spent 8 years at TTU, where he earned a Masters in Engineering. When Mark left the university, he found MED-E Tech was hiring, and applied for a job. He attempted to create more efficient designs for the military and civilian use medical emergency kits (MED-E-Kit), to which he succeeded by creating the Mk. 4 design, which accommodated more medical devices, such as a defibrillator, stitching materials, and others. This kit was intended for hospital use, and another design which Mark had developed was used in other situations, such as minor emergencies. Mark was appraised for his excellence in engineering, also having made many more medical devices. However, this wouldn’t matter once the Combine invaded.

{DURING THE WAR}
[Adulthood]
   Mark was forced into hiding. He sat and wept inside a military grade bunker to which many citizens had been evacuated to. As the war raged on and Striders tore through the streets, he began to realize that humanity would lose this power struggle.
7 hours later, the war was over, and the enslavement of humanity began.

{AFTER THE WAR}
[Adulthood]
   Mark was placed into City 9, the ruins of Seattle, Washington. The Space-Needle was removed in favor of a towering Citadel, taller than any building ever seen. He decided to be loyal to the Union, out of fear of death, or worse, further enslavement by being turned into a Stalker. He developed loyalist status, making sure to report every crime he came across. In March of 2016, he was transferred to City 45, where his status was wiped, the points system being dropped. Mark, despite no longer technically being a loyalist, still did his best to find and report crime. On March 19th, he applied for Civil Authority, to which he was denied for asking a unit to look over his application. He waited, still doing his part to help the Union by reporting crime and doing extra work around the city. On April 16th, he re-applied for CCA, knowing he could do more to help.


5) Have you ever had a CCA character here at Catalyst Gaming?  If so, explain why it was removed.
No.
