3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
I've had maaany Civil Protection characters on other servers, so I will have some form of basic understand, but as I've already noticed, things are actually quite different here at CG than at places I've been at in the past. I expect that I will have a completely different experience to what I have experienced in the past. I expect to meet other members of the community I have not spoken to so much, as I am still somewhat new around. I overall seeing CCA being a great experience.
I expect that in the CCA Evan will be properly trained to deal with the situations that the citizens of C45 bring about. I also expect that there will be plentiful roleplaying opportunities within the CCA, so that way, Evan and I will be able to enjoy these experiences whether they are short, or long. I also expect that the people training Evan will be hard on him, but fair, as they too were trained as he will be trained. The last thing I expect in the CCA is that I'm sure I will make many friends in character and Out of Character.
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.
After getting out of College Evan went to try and join the Marines, learning later that he had a curved, which had got him instantly denied. He took up odd jobs around town, while trying to find a more permanent job that would go along with his degree. After moving away to work at a Corporate office, he never saw his hometown again. The way he lived in his town, and the way he worked, was boring to him, and he had planned to move to Japan as soon as he had enough money. Finally, he had gotten enough money and was heading to the airport, plane ticket in hand. But that day that he would visit Japan would never finish, as it was the day the portal storms occurred.
Evan hurriedly told the taxi driver to get him back to town, which he did. Evan arrived back into his town, where he relaxed into his home. The moment he walked inside he saw the weirdest stories on the news. It was like veiwing 9/11 all over again, but much worse. At that time a small detachment of the National Guard moved into his town, and he was not permitted to leave, the resonance cascade had begun. While the outside world was infested with offworld parasites, Evan would seen find that his beloved military wouldn't be able to fend off the 'monsters' that had invaded.
His town was one of the first to go, everyone being detained and checked, anyone below 18 was killed, and everyone like Evan, who was 25 at the time, was packed on trains and shipped off. It was clear there was no hope for earth anymore.
He arrived at a new city, City 45, and found it hard to adjust to life there. He quickly found out that the people loyal to the Union got better treatment, and people in the CCA got even better treatment. Evan decided to go with the cause that would help him live a better life. Evan began by doing petty services for the CCA, wiping clean windows and walls. Until one day he heard a broadcast about an escaped Conscript. Evan investigated this, and found where the Vortigaunts had been hiding out. He relayed this information to local Civil Protection teams, earning himself 15 points. He had found his true calling finally.
5) Have you ever had a CCA character here at Catalyst Gaming? If so, explain why it was removed.
Yes I have, I had went inactive for quite a while, and when I came back I found that my character was deleted. Now, this is the same application I used before, but I hope that is alright, because I'd like to use the same character.
