IC Character Name: Mat Jefferson
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. Mat Jefferson was born in 1980 in London. He was bought up well, he had a good life, nice parents, lots of friends and could have what ever he wanted. His parents wanted him to train as an accountant like his dad but Mat had other ideas. His life's dream was to join the Army. Inside he was cold and calculating.
In 1996 Mat joined the British army. While training he was noted as the best unit in the squad. Once command noticed this they pulled him from front line training and put him into a special ops traing course. He was trained in all types of combat and after 4 years of training was an expert in arms. But he had yet to have in real world training. After 3 years of deployment into special ops across the world the portal storms began. At the time Mat was in America in new Mexico. While finishing his op and fighting off the new species trying to kill him he was lucky enough to witness to Black Mesa explosion.
Mat was called in as a special unit to fight the new creatures on earth, Mat loved killing them, he felt that they were no good to humanity and should be destroyed at all costs. But after several years of fighting the Combine arrived. Mat was ordered to fight them but something in him said don't. Mat admired how they worked as units, their technology and everything about them. He was only good coming. During the 7 hour war Mat secretly fought humanity. Using his skills and knowledge of human pockets he secretly helped to take down city's. He never let the combine know, he never though they would understand.
After the 7 hour war Mat burned his uniform and equipment and got rid of his guns and ammunition. He then followed suit with all other survivors and went under combine rule. When the CCA was first set up Mat wanted to join but felt he needed a better understanding of them first. Now after a year of observing and admiring Mat is ready to join.

I think being in the CCA will be hard work with a lot of important rp that will help develop my character further. It will give him new skills and experiences that will benefit both him and me in rp. It will be hard work but will be very rewarding, it will also be fun helping keep the city under control. It would be a great experience for both me and my character.

My character expecting the CCA to be hard work, there will be a lot of training and work and it will be hard at times but overall he only See's good from doing it. He thinks it will help him keep the city under control and the combine in power which is what he wants. He knows it will be hard, he knows he will go through every kind of pain he can think of but he knows that it is worth it and that he will be able to do it.
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.Mat Jefferson was born in London, England in 1980. He was born into a wealthy family, he was always treated well, could have what ever he wanted and he had many friends. But all of this meant nothing to him, he isn't a man of material things. His parents always tried to force things on him, mainly they wanted him to become an accountant like his father. They gave him maths lessons everyday, mat loved them but not for the reason his parents wanted him to love them. The maths lessons allowed him to calculate everything he did down to the last movement. Once he was 16 he dropped the bombshell on his parents that he wasn't going to be an accountant but was joining the army. His parents didn't take it well, they ended up throwing him out but his mother who still had some compassion gave mat a large sum of money to ensure that he wouldn't go homeless. After this Mat hated his father and would try anything to get back at him.
In 1996 Mat joined the British army. He went throw intensive training to become a front line soldier. But while in training a commanding officer noted his excellent skills, he was by far the top of the class, he followed every order, bullied every shot and beat every squad record. Mat was taken out of soldier training and placed into training for an elite team. He was told that over the next 4 years he would be trained in everything from tactics to hand to hand combat. After 4 years Mat was classed as an expert in special combat, he passed his training with flying colors. After training he was dispatched on a serious of secret missions.
After 3 years Mat was on a special operation in New Mexico, he had to take down a VIP while he was traveling on the highway. Just as he got into New Mexico portal storms began. Mat saw the new creatures coming out of thin air, Mat shot every new thing he saw and even though he was now fighting his own little war he still managed to take out the VIP on time. While fighting his way back to his extraction point Mat was lucky enough to see the Black Mesa complex explode into a mushroom of rubble. Mat thought nothing of that, he was too distracted by the aliens trying to kill him.
Over the next few years Mat was flown across the world, not only taking on normal operations but also operations to rid the earth of its new pests. Mat loved it, the fact he was able to kill any pest he was while still having to plan operations. He loved how he had to actually use his mathematical mind rather than just see what he had to do. As cities closed up Mat didn't stay inside, they didn't fell right to him. They were safe but he could see, they were like fish out of water in there, someone just needed to come and cook them.
In 2009 that something came. The combine came in and took each city that was just sitting their, filled with citizens waiting for them almost. Mat watched as the combine destroyed earth with amazing efficiency. Mat saw only good coming from the combine and decided he would never fight them. During the 7 hour war mat was on a full on tactical op, deciding it would be pointless doing it he decided to make his own op. Stealthily help the combine. He knew if the combine saw him with a gun they would kill him, helping them or not. So using his stealthy skills and a sniper mat was able to help take down resistance for the combine allowing them to just go into the city and take it with ease. He took down Soldiers to VIPs in charge of the city's. After 7 hours, the white flag was put up by humanity. Mat decided to get rid of all his army gear, he burnt his equipment and uniform and threw his gun down a chasm. He then proceeded to a rally point and was captured and taken with all the other surviving citizens.
Mat was taken to City 17 first, an OK city, a lot of resistance because of who was there. Mat wanted to help but couldn't, he knew it would get him killed. Mat decided to watch how the CCA worked, he wanted to join but first had to work out how they ran, he watched them and learned. In 2015 Mat was given a relation ticket and sent to the train station to go to City 45. As he approached his train he saw something quite odd. A man with glasses, he though it very odd as people don't have glasses any more, its an imperfection. He gathered that the CCA would sort him. He boarded his train and headed to City 45. To start a new life and join the CCA.
