Dr. Aron Wojciechowski was born on a cold, snowy day in 1965 in the city of Wroclaw, Poland, to Wojciech Rutowski and Maria Rutowska. Wojciech worked as an engineer at a railroad car manufacturing plant, a very common employment option in Wroclaw at the time. Wojciech left high school after the end of his tenth year to start a family with Maria, and to begin working to support such family. Wojciech was never happy with his decisions and decided he did not want to have Aron take a similar route.
   Wojciech always blamed public education and their ill incentives to keep teenagers in school for why Wojciech essentially decided to leave school. For this reason, Wojciech never allowed for Aron to attend public school. Aron went to an all-boys private school in Warsaw, miles away. Wojciech was more willing to spend the little hard earned cash he had to send his son to a private school in Warsaw than send him to public school. Aron would never forgive his father for his decisions to keep him in private school, blaming him for the social deprivation he suffered from being constantly bullied at the private school. When Aron was eleven years old, he did not have enough money to pay for a taxi ride back to Wroclaw, and took free public transportation on a tram running from Warsaw to Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, back to Warsaw, and then to Wroclaw. Generally, Aron took a taxi directly to school, and back. He was not aware of the crime that existed on public transportation, but he would learn of it. While arriving at the tram station in Kaliningrad, a man stepped onto the tram. He saw Aron, and immediately noticed his innocence. He bent over and grabbed a switchblade from his shoe with his right hand, while grabbing Aron's neck with his left hand. Little did the robber know, Aron knew Tae Kwon Do. Aron quickly escaped the choke-hold, and kicked the knife out of the robbers hands. A few men on the tram restrained the men until the tram arrived in Warsaw, in which a militia unit took custody of the man. Aron gained a reputation with the militia that would help him later in life.
   When Aron was sixteen, he fought his parents in court to be legally emancipated. He won. Aron moved to Warsaw and bought an apartment. He remaining in private school until he graduated. His parents did not attend his graduation. Aron received a scholarship to go to the University of Krakow. He studied law, and medicine. After hard years in the University of Krakow he received a doctorate degree in both studies. Aron decided he was not done receiving his education and went to the University of Warsaw to receive a doctorate in philosophy. At the age of 34 he had completed 16 years of college, and he began to put his degrees to use. He began work at a local law firm in Warsaw. He only remained in the firm for a few years, because he felt his potential was not being met.
   At the age of 37, in 2003, he moved back to Wroclaw, to run for voivode of the Wroclaw voivodeship. After a tough campaign, traveling through almost ever major city and town in the voivodeship, Aron won the election. Aron was officially representing the PO political party. He would remain in the position after a re-election, until deciding to run for president against Komorowski in 2014.
   Campaigning went well again, and Aron won by a slight difference in received votes. Aron never knew how much this election would affect him greatly. Aron introduced revolutionary laws into Poland, giving rights to people who had never had rights before, offering jobs to the unemployed, and overall, reinventing policing methods in Poland. He gave speeches all over Poland, but his Emergency Address in Warsaw became the most influential.
   It was a windy day in Warsaw, and there was a slight abnormally neon blue color plastered onto a gray sky. The seven hour war had just ended fifteen minutes before he would appear to make the announcement of his life. He flipped down his collar, and rolled up his sleeves and walked onto the stage. Soft thunder occurred as he walked on stage and up to the podium.
   “Friends, family, citizens of Poland I am here to announce news that I wish I would have never had to deliver to you. Fifteen minutes ago, there was a surrender of the United Nations that will change your life forever. A planet outside of our solar system arrived to the earth seven hours and fifteen minutes ago, and their intentions were not in our favor. They arrived with the intention to enslave us. Fifteen minutes ago, after a war that took seven hours, United Nations formally surrendered the earth to this race, known formally as the Universal Union, and informally as the Combine. It is my job - “
   A loud noise interrupted his speaking, and the Polish special security unit assigned to him rushed him off stage, and quickly to an underground bunker. With their guns drawn, they waited. Everything seemed safe until the door flew open and there was a human – in appearance – in a slick black uniform. The special security shot at him, but the bullets melted as they hit the full metal armor. The creature did not react to the bullets he simply stood there, and stared at Aron. After five minutes, the creature gave a hand gesture to the security to leave. They didn't move.
   “You heard the man, leave,” Aron said. The security gave Aron a look for a second, and then left, thinking they would never see their leader again.
   “Smart, smart you are. Those who surrender are smart,” the creature said.
   “Thank -,” Aron was abruptly cut off.
   “But you're also weak spineless cowards. I pity you humans. Now you listen, Dr. Wojciechoswki. I am a representative of the Universal Union. I realize you are the leader of this defenseless region. I hear it's called Poland. A weak name, if you ask me. If you're so dedicated as I hear, then your people need you. City administrators are the people we put in charge of cities, as figure heads. You are being considered to be one, but if I don't accept you, you will die. I will need time to think.” The creature snapped and he vanished. The security units came inside, worried.
   “I'm okay,” Aron said. Aron was fearful of the Universal Union, but was dedicated to serve his people. He began preparing to be a City Administrator, fearful of what would happen if the Universal Union representative chose another leader over him. He went to what was left of the capitol building, and sat in his old desk, waiting.......

ACCEPTED- Welcome to City Administration, Dr. Wojciechowski.

Bullet's Edit: I am not counting this application toward the number accepted.

This is the wrong board for this. And it is happening eventually, but it could be a while. Any other details you will learn soon, but I don't intend on telling you now. And these aren't questions as you said they were, they are numerous suggestions, that may be considered, although a lot of the stuff is already planned.

OOC Section


OOC Name: Nikolai

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.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
My character is a very loyal subject. However, he is very nervous and skiddish because he has some knowledge of what the Combine Civil Authority has done, both to civilians and it's own recruits.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?

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.

Alright people I like both maps but here is run down;


We all love C18; the CPs know the Nexus well and the Citizens know the City. Its easy to navigate and the S6 is above the City and is an actuall slum. Along with that; C18 has an invested Sub Way which would be nice little danger for civis.

Venetian is nice; but for CPs to act effectively they'll need Airboats with VU mod, and Shotguns because the close quarters will be highly treacherous for Civil Protection. The Med-Wing is seperate, and the Ration's Terminal is designed for automatic machines and not manned. Also; Housing is scarce and there is a lot of water; It would be good for CPs for a coast gaurd style


I have a feeling Venetian will win. But if so there are some IMPARATIVES:

Shotguns for ALL CPs (OR SMGs) The close quarter nature of Venetian will pose a high threat for CPs because there is no S6 or anything like it. And shooting across the Canalls will be difficult

Airboats (VU Mod) To get around Venetian will require this for CPs. Or the Civil Protection will be completely in-effective. and the Resistance will be within the City (a lot more metagaming)

Furthermore there is no Gear Room or anything like it. No HCMR its completely shitty Nexus compared to our C45 Edit. Its nice consept. But a lot of our players whom dont have CS:S Will have difficult. Please consider this; Venetian will need huge upgrades for the CPs for them to funtion.

Shotguns/SMGs : Talked to Burning. Units 04+ can request special training.

Airboats : No. Walk on the sidewalks like you're supposed to.

CSS : Most of our players have CSS.

Upgrades : A lot of new tactics are being developed.

Housing : There is actually plenty of housing.

Rations : Ration delivery rather than ration distribution.

I love C18; My vote is C18, the CCA's forces arnt so spread thin. S6 is nice, we all know and love it. So yes it is my vote I strongly hate Venetian. Unless the CPs get Airboats and Shotguns for all that close quarters

If Venetian is selected, my new patrolling tactics would be put into place, which includes patrolling in groups of two or three.

RESPOND TO YOUR PMs PLEASE! I have sent him at least 3 ever since I joined where I have said something that would invoke a response, but he's never responded to one! Even in his thread about his steam chat spam, he said PM me and I will respond, but no! He hasn't responded! Raegraegraeg answer plx /thread.

Ever stop to consider how many fucking PMs he receives?

First of all nothing won, because this is no where near done. The poll has been reset, because of a new option. I strongly advise you go play Venetian Redux ( http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=61714 ) and vote for that if you like it. Rofl supports this so be a good boy and vote for it.
