Civil Authority Applications / Andrew Van Ort's Civil Authority Application

Andrew Van Ort's Civil Authority Application

OOC Name: 1stlt.ChristmasofAmerica

IC Character Name: Andrew Van Ort

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 kept asking myself, why did he want to join in the first place? Why is Andrew so interested and eager to join? After he uh got his loyalist armband he kept thinking to himself and of course reading some UU-branded books. In his experience the Universal Union maintains society, he peruses this idea. Could there be another reason? Maybe it’s this one: For justice, but why justice? Is it that maintaining a society needs a broom and a mop called justice? Andrew has to answer that himself when he joins.

Possibly we could find another reason perhaps? Maybe it is privileges but I don’t find that a good reason, maybe it’s just a little bit? We should continue on the more, important points.  He drinks the water like he normally does a bit more brainwash than those other citizens due to propaganda He thought if you can join them you can earn their trust. He feels that joining them, the Universal Union he can portray his loyalty even more than he ever could. However, will his wishes come true and maybe find his destiny? Maybe not, maybe so, then again Andrew will still have to look for his answer, because his journey is not over when he joins the Universal Union.

Hey don’t leave! I’ve got more to tell, now just let me remember another reason he wants to join. Let’s wrap of our first two reason number one: He wants to join to maintain society and preform justice. Number two: He wants to portray his loyalty even more. Now let’s get to the third reason. More responsibilities, now you may be thinking, why? Well, why not? In fact it would support his “Call of adventure” to join the Universal Union he can use his responsibilities to gain more trust in the Universal Union. However, yet again Andrew has to answer this himself when he joins. A failure or success we, yes us need to take a look of what’s going to happen.


2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Andrew is Lawful,Cooperative,Loyal, and trustworthy.

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’m going to start over and attempt this again, last time wasn’t so well (*cough*got*cough* amputated*cough* for*cough* false*cough* accusations*cough*) great but 3 times a charm. I see a new perspective from a Civil Protection’s point of view and how they deal with things. Citizen/Loyalist role play is how you say: Downsized, little, almost no RP what so ever, setting up a shop might get some new role play but then again, it will be repetitive and boring. I asked myself: Why do people Join Civil Protection? Is it because it’s unique and diverse? My answer is that I want to see what it’s like, giving myself a new perspective.

For my Character:  What are expectations for Andrew you ask? Maybe being taught the ways of to maintain the society of the city. He can support the (*cough*slaughter*cough*) cause by keeping anti citizens out in public and in uncommon times keep the rebels (murder) suppressed from the public and the Universal Union can assist him of doing so. More you want huh? Ok, I’ll tell one last thing. Now let’s see hmmm…. oh yes! Another expectation is that Universal Union will let him freely teach the ways of how to not be feared by the Combine Civil Authority, but instead to cooperate with 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.
Psst, psst, hey you, yeah you reading this. I want to tell you a story of a man, who is this man you ask? His name is Andrew Van Ort. I’m going to set this up in chronological order, is that ok with you? Alright let’s start: Andrew Van ort was well a human being like all human beings they were born on earth, now you might be asking what kind of statement is that? Do you think human beings live on mars? I answer:  What if we were on mars first? What if we were born in Xen? You may never know. However, let’s dive into the story shall we?

Andrew Van Ort was born in Sacramento, California, July 7th; 1992.The ruby birthstone was given to him to celebrate his birth. However this birthstone doesn’t take a role nor it is symbolism let’s move along. He did great in school but his family was low middle class, but due to high grades he got a scholar ship for English and math which is his favorite subjects.  He studied these for a few years gaining his associate’s degree for English and mathematics. After completing his associate’s degree for college in his hometown He moved to Seattle, Washington to work at an office complex.  He was very successful with his job and became one of the boards of the directors. In 2015, He went on a business trip to New York City to do a business meeting about Financing and making a partnership with another company. Due to revenue is in decline and insufficient funds, a bigger company came in and bought the company now heading to New York City to sign the contract. Before the business meeting, He was about to step into the entrance of the building a loud roar, he froze there for a quick moment, he quickly turned to see It was a large tripod walking machine, It was firing some sort of turret at the innocent civilians, Police and soldiers fired at the machine what we call now a “Strider”. A couple soldiers took some of the civilians including Andrew to the sewers, heading to a small bunker. They told Andrew and the others to stay inside the bunker until further notice. 6 hours later there was silence. A group of humanoid figures (called overwatch soldiers) attacked the other soldiers guarding the bunker. The fight was short and quick against the soldiers took all the citizens including Andrew to the surface to be relocated.
After Earth Surrendered to the Universal Union,

He was relocated to City 14, He was a bit hesitant to join them or not, but he was neutral to the Universal Union. However, that water influenced him to join Civil Protection. He was relocated to city 18, where he did normal citizen activities he to get more rations frequently in city 18 than city 14, the air wasn’t very cleaned, people start to get sick causing an epidemic. He was one of the luckiest people to survive the outbreak. He again was relocated to City 45 due to evacuation of city 18; he liked the city with cleaner air than the other cities he lived, but the Civil Protection still had the same brutality but he did jobs for them. Why? I’m not sure, but he continues to report crimes and cleaning the city. After cleaning some trash near by the city, an officer says “You citizen! Come with me!” He follows the officer, the officer told him to apply, Andrew shows his Citizen I.D. card to the officer, the officer brings out an armband; he then grabs the armband and puts it on his arm, taking a nice long walk back to the UCH taking an, application with him.

Journal Entry:1

Well got a Journal from a store, I'm not going to write that much though but I will write important things. I've asked to pick up some garbage in the city park to get a loyalist point, the officer accepted my request and so I did. I think that's all I'm going to put in for now wait,I forgot to tell about that buzzing sound I looked outside to find It was some sort of helicopter, It happened when I think a Civil worker was giving free living spaces sort of like one of those hotels. I'm going back outside to walk around and look for more things to add loyalist points.

Civil Authority Applications / David Wilson's Civil Authority Application
« on: November 21, 2011, 03:20:13 PM »
David Wilson's Civil Authority Application

OOC Name: CookiesofAmerica|OCRP 1.5 ftw!

IC Character Name: David 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.
David Wilson has always noticed other people getting detained every day or most commonly,
rebel propaganda.  He always shakes his head when seeing such things, he believes that you can’t
succeed and it will always end in failure.  So as you read these two sentences, and I wrote these two
sentences, we learned my character is one of those “If you can’t beat them, join them” types. Anyways
let’s continue, he continues to forget more and more about why the Universal Union (combine) are the
enemy which normal citizens believe, instead he thinks it’s the opportunity that the Combine has
offered for him and to others as well. He’s hoping for the Universal Union to help himself and the cause
in order to give the citizens the understanding they should help the universal union as well.

He is looking forward a better purpose how you say, a privilege of some sort. It looked like a
one step out of misery for him. A light to keep him safe from the darkness that lies below and he wants
he learned that the humans with our philosophies were never going to work and we are to be bound on
to this earth because we could never get along.  Those books pushed him into being a “If you can’t beat
them, join them” kind of guy, and so he continues to persuade himself to join.

Another reason he wants to join is fight for the cause as would the rebels for fighting their cause as well
but they are causing disruption and he sees what they’re doing which is told by the loyalists and the city
administrators of course: Keeping civilization bound to the earth. This isn’t solving anything and causes
the Universal Union to think that we humans are a failure in order to expand the universe and to help other
species in order to thrive and move out of instinct. When David was walking around the plaza, a
broadcast is heard and he stops and sits down on a bench to listen. The City Administrator did a normal
broadcast, but it convinces in more and more and his thought of the Universal Union are bad and should never be trusted, is turning
into dust.
 

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Lawful,Trustworthy,Cooperative, and Loyal.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
For me: Well it would be the common answer in most of these applications: A different type of RP.
Why?  Well because, Citizen/Loyalist RP is how you say getting boring for me, as you can see when I play
as a citizen/loyalist it’s always this; number one: Walk around and do passive RP (which is fun, but
creativity takes thought and sometimes it doesn’t come to me, making me just walk around boring
myself to tears). Number two:  Reporting crimes (now of course this is fun, but now I’m just getting use
to this kind of stuff but I guess you could say this is the only fun option really and I want to have more
options to RP). I’ve heard some people saying being a Recruit is boring? Well some say 04 is when the
fun starts, but maybe they’re wrong. Maybe I won’t last a day with it, but hell let’s give it a try won’t
we?

David Wilson: As stated from the Combine Overwiki: “ CPs are ordinary human volunteers who
have "willingly" joined the Combine, either for more privileges, such as additional food, better living
conditions, an increase in authority and status over others, or out of genuine sympathy and
identification with the Combine's aims. “ David Wilson wanted to join because of an increase in
authority and status over others which are probably rarest choices in most of these applications, and
well a no brainer: Out of genuine sympathy and identification with the Universal Union’s aims. In his
thought process of why the Universal Union is so brutal is because of Hobson’s choice in which He can
join civil protection or die from starvation of instinct.

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.
David Wilson was a normal human being before, during, and after the 7 hour war.  He was born in
Chesterton, Indiana November 5th, 1982. He was quite intelligent however after he graduated high
school he did not get a 4.0 but a 3.9. When he saw this grade he was disappointed, because he wanted
to get in Harvard University. He decided to search for colleges that he can go; happily he found a
substitute that he can go to:  University Of Illinois.  He wanted to take a Master’s in biological science
and take a Bachelor’s in physical science but only two associates because of the 7 hour war.

Before He was about to go to his ceremony, a portal storm erupted even though there were portal
storms before (during the black mesa incident even though he has never heard of it), he notice large
ships that are dropping of what we call now “synths”: The hunters, striders, and gunships coming out of
the massive portals and terrorizing the streets. He stayed inside the first floor of an apartment and it
was a community store, he was mostly unlikely to be hurt, but then he notice the hunters going in the
building massacring the people inside.  One shouted “Hide in the basement they can’t get us in there!”
was the shopkeeper that spoke. Everyone (including David) hid inside the basement, after 4 to 5 hours
the shopkeeper sent several people including the shopkeeper himself outside to see if fighting is still
going on and any “synths” were attacking the citizens of Chicago. One of the men told that earth
surrendered somehow because they notice the “synths” were not attacking them. About a week or so,
Alex read the paper and notices that Dr. Breen signs the peace treaty for earth as it says in the 
newspaper, saying:Earth Surrenders!


As the Universal Union relocated most Americans like David, to Eastern Europe in city 11.
He hated the combine for enslaving him and the since he believes in his rights, but he kept to this himself,
because he had a fear of being beaten by the electric batons (electrophobia). The water, that damn
water made him forget his fear and the hatred of the Universal Union turn into some relationship. He
fought the combine mentally from joining them but that water, that fucking god damn water made him
forget.  That propaganda from the Universal Union and those beatings, which that little voice (talking
about his conscious) said to him “Can’t beat them? Join them!”  and he agreed to the little voice as he
transaction to city 45. As soon he saw those people who had hatred toward the combine he just shook
his head because they haven’t learned what the real reason was to join them. So forth he is teaching this
by reporting crimes.

Well It seems I've been relocated at city 45, even though their wasn't really an emergency to leave the city. Maybe The Univer-errr, well the combine probably thought I wasn't the right citizen to be there. Anyways, I just talked to a loyalist inside the train station He was nice and wasn't annoyed by my stutter, now from what I remember for not being a long conservation, pretty simple I believe. Dreams of being an author is coming back to me, at dusk oh say 8:00 or 9:00 P.M. I suppose a bird flew over me and landed in the road. I by my curiosity,(Human Nature can't stop it) gave me hypnotic wonder of how it hit's it beak on the concrete. Sadly,The Bird has end it's life on wire grasping to see luck if it will live. The luck for this interesting creature has been crushed by death of electrocution. It fell on it's back eye's open staring at me, suddenly I cried for the death of the bird. Then, I, just, stopped. I don't know why I stopped since maybe from a subconscious level as that death is no big deal and the future was greater for mankind is successful of potential in joining the Unive- I mean Combine teaching us that we are to kill our instinct and abandon that bird that has laid down dead. On so forth we keep marching into the unknown and expect the unexpected
