This is the city administrator application cycle.
<::|| OPEN ||::>
Open as of October 9th, 2012
Notes: I'd be lying if I said that this application is easier than any of the others that are open on the forums. The truth is that many people will apply and most will be denied. Simply put, this role can get boring if you don't give it the dedication that it needs. Applications will remain open until further notice. I'll be reviewing the applications frequently so please make sure that you meet all requirements and that any mistakes are fixed before you post. Also, make sure to include your Doctor's College past, concerning their acquiring the title, Doctor.

Doctor Alan Metzgar
(http://i45.tinypic.com/2rxbmg0.png)
Birth (1967):
Alan Metzgar is the son of Debra and Alexander Metzgar. Alan was born on the date of 6-31-67, in Saint Judes hospital of Birmingham Alabama. Both Alan's parents were practitioner. His father was a surgeon and his mother was a psychiatrist. Alan's parents took time off of work after his birth to take care of him. And they raised him for 2 years as mother and father together, but having been highly qualified medical practitioners, they eventually had to return to work, and hired a Nanny to take care of Alan. Alan missed his mother and father, they all ways came home well after he was tucked into bed, and left well before he was awake again, all ways stopping in to kiss him on the fore head every time they left the house. After the two years of birth to toddler raising, Alan didn't get to see his parents too often.
Child Hood:
Alan and his Nanny ended up growing close to each other. He almost saw her as a mother. She was around while his parents weren't, she fed him, cleaned him, and took care of him all the way until he was 14 years old. Alexander Metzgar, Alans' Father, had an affair with the 32 year old Nanny around this time, and it went on for no longer than a year before Debra found out. Debra divorced her husband, and took Alan to live far away from his cheating father. They moved to southern Alabama, into Dothan, near than pan handle of Florida.
Alan was angry with his mother, he didn't understand the mist of things. He barely knew his mother anyways, and thought she was trying to harm him directly by taking him away from his father, and most importantly, away from the Nanny that he felt was his own mother. Alan started high school only a few weeks later.
Alan hated his mother telling him what to do all the time, he hated talking to her, he despised every remark she made, and never ate the food she cooked. He was so very distant from his mother through his four years of high school. Alan had been to see several therapist about his anger towards his mother. He met a psychologist, his name was Doctor Aaron Stalford. Aaron mentored Alan to the best of his ability, because he recognized Alan's derived stature of a father and mother. Aaron and Alan spoke on a regular basis because it seemed to be the only person that would ease his stressful moods. Aaron all ways assured Alan if he did his best in school and in life, he could be anything he wanted to be, and encouraged him to all ways do his best and make his best decisions.
Through high school, Alan never missed a single home work assignment, he never missed a question on his test, he had put all his effort and ability into his school work, and it had shown. The teachers all were astound by Alan's work, and his ability. Alan got to the point where he could multiply 3 digit numbers in his head. They recommend him skip grades, but Alan refused to miss out on his high school experience, so he remained in his classes, applied for high honors and advanced placement were allowed to, and continued to progress, leading to graduating as a valedictorian of his class.
College Experiences:
Having graduated with such a prestigious reward, Alan was granted scholarships and grants to any school he wanted to go to in the state. He decided that he had earned the ability to do what he wanted, so he moved back to Birmingham, to enroll in the University of Alabama, he majored in Anesthesiology.
His classes were long, and hard. He spent several nights awake in his dorm, slaving away at his homework and class work. He didn't give much attention to the outside world, and wasn't very interested in dating women. It seemed all he cared about 24 hours a day was having all his school work prepared and turned in. He all ways did everything with perfection because he felt anything less was soiling his name.
As the years twiddled away, the government continued to fund tuition for Alan Metzgar. His progress was so prestigious and fast, no one could believe it. Metzgar eventually obtained a bachelors in Psychology, a master degree in Anesthesiology, and shortly after proceeded to obtain his doctrine degree.
It wasn't over yet. Metzgar had come back into contact with his mentor, Aaron Stalford. After several weeks of chatting back and forth, Metzgar decided he wanted to continue his studies in Psychology, he went back to school, they didn't deny him of course, and after a only 6 more years of hard work at the University of Alabama, he had obtained his PhD in Psychology. Metzgar graduated at the top of his class.
Mid Life:
Metzgar eventually opened his own practice in the city of Birmingham. He had several clients and mostly treated them for coping with changing and transitions in life. Metzgars' practice was a highly profitable business, and took little time to expand. He eventually met a partner, Tilla Deliqua, a Spanish practitioner, which helped him run his business. Metzgar and Deliqua eventually fell in love with each other. at the ripe age of 45, Metzgar married Tilla, and moved with her to Illinois, were they moved their business, and began working again under one house hold.
Tilla was never able to have children, Metzgar wasn't fond of it either, because he knew he was a busy man, and didn't want to have a son that didn't have a father, so Tilla and Metzgar continued their love together as a couple, working together in the practice. It has seemed like a solitary plan, before the day of demise came.
2015: The Seven Hour War:
It had been a routine day for Mr. and Mrs. Metzgar as usual. They were leaving their practice, locking the door when the clouds went dark. They stood, amazed at how quickly the clouds had come over them. They stared for a minute, and a low tone squeal could be heard. The tone got louder and louder, confused they looked at each other and then back to the sky. The clouds had started to swirl, at this time, the tone has progressed in irritability. The squeal turns into a loud, low toned hum, and before either of them know it, and explosion knocking them both to the ground unconscious.
Drop ships swooped into the area, the sounds of their motors and components were so loud and so abrupt. The ground was shaking. Several combine ground forces dropped from a gun ship, and collected by standing people. Some of the ships would abduct the humans straight from the ground. Metzgar and his wife were unconscious when being snagged up by what the combine called, "Hunters", they were thrown into a relocation chamber, and then identified.
The combine separated Metzgar and his Wife, Tilla, and shipped them both to different cities, Metzgar to City 8, and Tilla to city 14.
Settling Into the City:
The welcoming was crude, being surrounded by these... monster like things, they pushed Metzgar around, putting him from one check point to the other. The only baggage he had was baggage they had given him, which was nothing more than a can of water and a spare change of cloths. Sound stopped, time stopped, as Metzgar entered his small, what seemed to be a 4 walled apartment. He looked at the floor, in denial, he coulnt' believe he had been taken away from his wife, and that he had been removed from his free country, and his high-priced life style. and slammed into a crammed dark city, which was all ways so very cold.
Metzgar went about the first few months pouting and complaining, living ration to ration and letting everyone know he was upset about it. The dispatches played ever so often, influencing Metzgar to eventually join the civil workers union, which was very big in City 8, Tokyo. One Metzgar entered the work force, he took note of all the benefits, the ability to skip ration lines, the food, the housing, the bedding, it had all seemed more gauged for his likings.
The organizer, at the time, named Ahmed Del Qussa, took note of Metzgars obvious high intellectual capacity, and began holding Metzgar to a higher standard than most. Metzgar was very successful in the Medical field of the Civil Workers Union, and he also dealt with citizens who were in need of an ear to listen, he was after all a psychologist.
After about a year and a half had passed, Metzgars' attitude had changed drastically, he had Aaron Stalfords words seered into his brain, "You can make anything of yourself, no matter your situation, anything you wanted to be." Metzgar knew how to get where he wanted to be in the new reality he was forcefully placed in. It wasn't long after Metzgar arranged a meeting with the other Civil Administrators in City 8, who all took a grand liking to him. Metzgar realized that the man behind the mask wasn't as mean as the masked mens' muscle.
Metzgar made several visits to the administrators, and in a short time, Metzgar had obtained a loyalty status of the union. At first on a 5 point basis, then progressing to a total of 25. The administrative consul eventually asked Metzgar to consider a Civil Administrator position. Metzgar liked the idea of becoming a civil administrator. He felt that he was best fit for the position, he had his credentials, and he had his knowledge. Dr. Dulvin Rance appointed Metzgar with a formal application for Civil Administrator.
He filled out the application in his neatest stature, he asked that it be handed in and reviewed by the city consul. It wasn't long before Metzgar received feed back, that his application was considered and that the positions weren't available in city 8 for the time being. Metzgar was presented with the opportunity to have his application distributed to a separate city, City 45. And it is currently under review by the City Consul to this day.
