So I'm playing some Halo 4, while waiting for my Garry's Mod to download Catalyst-Gaming's HL2RP maps, so I wait, but it keeps making exact copies of itself, I check my addons folder and there's the map with (7) on the side, it downloaded several of them while I waited, I manually put it in there from the downloads section, tried the game out, and it still does the same thing. Help?

Ashley Kessler.'s Civil Authority Application

OOC Name: Sacrifice

IC Character Name: Ashley Kessler.

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, Ashley Triston, was a normal citizen who was transported to a city, which was named 'City 45' and this is was a very interesting type of city, it was huge and it was one of the most beautiful cities she saw yet. But with the brutality of the Civil Protection units in which bullied citizens and beaten them with stunsticks, she never felt safe in which the city was itself. She centered herself within the middle of the magnificent city of where the dark night shun down on it's glorious buildings. The lighting in the city glowed like a candle in the middle of the night, nearly something just like a tinderbox itself. As she kept moving on the streets the thought drew more to herself as if she was being watched and to be a target, when she looked about, there was no one there...

 This city in particular never felt like other cities, the enviroment felt taken care of and it's trees bloomed out, but there was just too much buildings that ruined the gorgeous scenery, and with that much violent going on in the city itself, it made the thought of being safe in which worsened that feeling. The more she walked down the sidewalk, the more violence that waged across the city. The wind blew throughout the city, making a whistle that creeped everyone out within a instant, and with that much vo-coders buzzing about, it just wasn't like her life back then, before the Combine invaded.

 Within a week, she was already hated for her repulsive anger, and the way she acted just like a short fuse, but she was a woman, a woman with a past life in which was wanted to be taken away, taken away from this bloody Earth, but she just couldn't do it with that much anger hidden inside her, she couldn't control where this was taking a strong toll against her reputation. She, after the incidents happening, began to go into a depressed stage, she never spoke to anyone and she was always anti-social, for some unclear reason she wanted to be the opposite, she wanted to treat every vital scum in this city of what she really is, and who she truly is herself. Then, she turned to the Civil Protection, and she knew what she had to do.

 Applications were announced all across the city, a young lady's voice echoed all around for two minutes, until it was finally turned off, maybe inconvience. She walked into one of the line ups, papers were given out, with a sheet that was filled out for people to write down with, and a pencil. On the rightside of her, there were tables which were scratched, and dirted with rubbish. Whilst she was waiting, everyone that had already taken the application sheet, were filling out the blanks as quickly as possible and never spent any time by slowing down, they were in somewhat a hurry to get the application passed in. When she arrived to the desk, a pencil and a paper, with a smaller sheet then the others were given to her, the smaller sheet itself was brand new and was printed off by a device and carefully cut into a square size, "

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
 Intelligent, Experienced Weapon Handling, Engineering, Truthful and Willingly.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
 What I except in the Combine Civil Authority itself is to be able to learn very new things, and to understand what the plot itself as being a Civil Protection unit and how it has a big disadvantage against your own character, and how that character struggles through the ranks in which breaks through these challenges to make it towards the top. The character itself will be afraid of any higher ranks and how she herself has to be loyal and as tidy and proper they have to be around these ranks.

 For my character herself, she'll be afraid to meet anyone that is higher then herself but she'll learn new things that she hasn't known within her very own life, such as the knowledge and handling of maintaining Combine technology thrown at her and how to repair these kinds of technology. At first, she'll be acting like a citizen when she meets other citizens where this won't be gentle on how many of these units will treat her, but she'll be able to squeeze and squirm through these challenges like butter. But the future itself is held within her hands, and she can control this future of her life through her own responsibility.

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.
 Ashley Kessler was born on the date of: September 14th, 1995. At the young age of a child, she went to school in where she learned many, many things from where at that point, she graduated at as a young woman, eighteen. From there, she went to get a degree of 'Engineering' to where it became a interesting and really enjoyful for someone like herself, she loved using these tools from time to time because she enjoyed having to disassemble and assemble things back to together, learn the inside and out of technology, and how to use these kinds of tools safely. From there, she moved onto the military, she was nineteen when she joined, she enlisted to become a battle Engineer. Where she had to repair anything that came in and it has to be repaired and ready within hours.

 On her way towards the field, she was shot two times into the chest, and three times into the arm. She went flying backwards as the kevlar took most of the damage, but it couldn't hold as the two bullets pushed through her lung, everything just went slow, and she didn't know what was happening as her mind was confused with a foggy thought. All hell broke loose as bullets went flying near her and bursted a ton of dirt into her face, soon it began to rain as the ground began to pool the rain itself into puddles, she herself was soaked in water, her wound had a burning sensation as the dirt and the rain itself went tunneling inwards. She couldn't get up, but instead she crawled backwards, there was a trail of blood leaving her body each time she crawled, she didn't know how long she was there, and then footsteps was heard behind her, a lot of footsteps. Two of her allies stood before her, but before she could ask for help, she went uncousious minutes later. She woke up in a tent, this tent was green and the sound of the rain batting against the tarp made a soothing and wonderful sound.

 Soon, after two months of recovery, the wounds were still put into a recovery stage and battles were still trying to be controlled. She was sent home to her parents, and from there that's where she resided for that amount of time. At night, she woke up from a person she killed during the war, she never wanted to do it, but it just had to be done. She grabbed the wooden box from under the bed and opened it up, it was her service uniform in which was properly folded and placed there, but there was one thing there that she just couldn't look at, it was her armband that she had, this armband was her rank, she was just a private when she spent her years in the army. She couldn't handle it as she walked outside and dug a hole, in this hole she placed the box into a place where she could take it, and remind herself in the army, she said one last word before burying it, "Goodbye...".

 One year later, she was twenty years old, and her mother died, but she lived with her father, he was old, but really loved her daughter. A resonance cascade had exploded in the events of a experiment, thust everyone had to be collected and moved into camps controlled by the military themselves, a couple of her friends were there, and they had very different ranks. Then, hours later, there was a portal, a frightening and shocking portal that had opened up in the sky. Drop ships appeared as three-legged creatures crawled out, the military units opened fire on it as they were shot down by it's blue bullets, she then escaped the military camp herself by making a humble escape. But, soon, she was caught escaping, and it took the alien force Seven Hours before the Earth was surrendered. From those events, she was put into a city, city 18. A year in this city was hell, and she relocated a year later into a different city, city called City 45. From there, she's lived there since.

 

5) Have you ever had a CCA character here at Catalyst Gaming?  If so, explain why it was removed.
 The reason why the character itself was removed in the past is because he cannot handle the amount of amputations her executed. He commited suicide the next day from depression. That's how my character was removed.

The server was currently down when I tried to get my Citizen ID. I'll get it there soon.

Reason why the application paragraphs look so small is because the width of the screen, making it look like three proper sentences, well during the application building, I put everything to a paragraph. Secondly, the server was down at the moment, that's why I couldn't get my digits of the citizens identification digits, so I'll get that some other time, thanks.

If I get denied, I won't worry about it, I seem to have put too much abilities in this authorization, and never took any time on it. It's about a 90% chance out of 10% to get this application denied. 10% possibly in acceptance.

Reminds me of a certain server that had female OTA Ninja assassins that had the powers of Chuck Norris and Raptor Jesus combined.
No offense, but the ability to be stealthy and to kill steathily, those two are something you have to be OOCly knowledgable about, and roleplay extremely well, but if you ARE roleplaying it extremely well, you don't need to be making an auth app to be doing it, so long as you know your limits.

As for Parkour, tucking and rolling, everything else: Nope. You're malnourished, and definantly not a ninja or trained martial artist, and in the outlands something like this wouldn't be very realistic at all, and the whole skillset it self would be frankly over-powered.

-Also, pain resistance depends on the extent of it. Some normal people have a higher threshold for pain level, and that's fine.

Saying your partially immune to pain? Hell no.

I kind of fucked it up, so cut me so slack? Besides, I'm changing it now, seems way to much.

Sounds way to overpowered, the thing that confuses me is that you can shoot targets from a long range, and get them, when at close range, you miss all the time. Half of these authorizations are military training. Everyone basically uses the same thing. -support.

The power to spawn anything I want.

I'm in an attempt to make a hostile group to everyone. Strong armour, weapons, and other kinds of things. The 'Spectre's.'
