OOC Section
OOC Name: Sizemore
IC Character Name: Josh Sizemore
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.
When he was 19, Josh Sizemore’s mother died. Soon after, his father joined the CCA, leaving his old life behind, including his son. This made Josh mad that his father didn’t think about what he was doing, he only joined in a rage.
Josh missed his mom, and he also missed his dad. But then his dad died, and he missed him more. He never wanted anyone to go through what he went through. But he understood his father now. He understood why his dad got mad. He wanted revenge. And now Josh wanted revenge.
It made Josh mad when he thought that this happened every day. Rebels would fight the government and citizens got caught in the middle. Families were torn apart. He would never let that happen.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Josh Sizemore is trustworthy, respectful, and honest.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I expect the CCA to be a great experience mentally and physically for Josh. Josh has wanted to be the guy who is patrolling around town, protecting the citizens from idiots who decided to step out of line. He also expects better living conditions and better food.
Personally, I expect to have a great time in City 8. The people, the sights, the fighting for the greater good!
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.
As a young adult, Josh’s father, George, was in the Civil Protection. Josh lived without direct contact with his dad or his mother, Alex, who had died from a stray bullet in a shooting between the Civil Authority and Rebels that broke out in the streets when he was 19. That was actually why his father decided to join. Josh was upset that his father joined in a rage. Not only was he upset, but so was his father. He had never gotten over the death of Alex. Josh stayed in contact with an old friend of his dads, who worked in the offices in the Nexus. That was how Josh knew who his father was. John still talked with George when they were both off shift. George never new about Josh, but Josh did know about George.
Josh only saw George for two hours a day, and those two hours were the best of his entire day. He would follow him around town, and never actually talked with him. In his mind, he had a super hero for a dad. But that eventually changed. Sometimes George would have a different post. But Josh would always hear from John telling him “George is going to be at a different post today, so you won’t see him,” or something along the lines of that. He always would get a call, but not on February 3, 2014, two years after his father joined. That was the one time Josh didn’t get a call. He had hoped that it was just a mistake. John just forgot to call. And on February 4th, John came home and told him the horrific news. George had been shot. Not by a stray bullet, but right in the head, by a sniper. The Rebels had been taking pot-shots at them, and five units died before the alarm was sounded. He didn’t have time to call Josh in the middle of the chaos.
At that exact point in time, Josh Sizemore felt the same rage his father had felt two years before. He was no longer mad, he just wanted revenge. But that anger wasn’t pointed at one man, but at the whole Rebellion. He never wanted any other person to go through what he just went through, and what his father had to go through over his mother. He didn’t know where to start, so he began to watch other CP’s in the town. He would watch how they handled certain situations, he would watch their combat tactics, and he would listen to the way they talked. One day, he followed a unit into the Nexus Lobby. Josh saw a paper next to the front desk that said “Civil Authority Application”. He asked the man about it, and he then gave Josh the application, a pen, and pointed to a chair.

7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience?
I was playing on the HL2RP. I had just joined the server and nothing was going on. I went over to Jack to find that he had a shop with Highvoltage. He began to fight with me because I was “loitering”. That was because as I was going in I tripped and fell, got up, and brushed myself off. As I put weight on my right foot, I collapsed in pain. I couldn’t get up so I dragged myself into the shop of Jack. He saw me and asked what was wrong. I tried to tell him, but I was in too much pain to explain. He told me to get out, but I couldn’t move. Then he screamed, so I slowly began dragging myself to the door. Just before I escaped, a nova walked in and saw me. I motioned to my ankle and he demanded to know why I was on the ground. I spit out the answers he was looking for and he radioed it in. No more than 15 seconds later, he grabbed me by my left arm and dragged me out. Slowly we went on and I saw the Nexus steps come into view. Then I felt the pain of concrete hitting my back over and over. The pain somehow increased. Then we reached the top and he pulled me past two doors and this time metal stairs. He went up two flights before he put me down and began to type on a keypad. At that time, my vision was so blurry, I couldn’t make out a square from a circle. Then my sight went dark, he grabbed my arm once again, and I lost conscience. Next thing I knew, I woke up in a bed with a man in another bed staring at me with blood trickling down his face. The nova had put a brace on my leg, but the pain was still intense. Then he dragged me back out as I was still groggy. He dropped me on the front steps and told me I was free to go.
That, my friend, was awesome.
