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.
My character Matt Smith is so lonely, and hungry, desperate to do something worthy with his life before he dies, He's come up with many ideas, but none of them work, such as becoming a loyal citizen, trying to make friends, But people tell him to piss off, Because he smells. And so he had one last idea, Joining the Metro Police force.
He was so exited about the idea when it came up, all that was going in his mind was, Weapons, Body armour, exiting missions. And he was so forced into this idea from his brain, he went and put an application in, once he had done that, He had waited and waited days for the combine to tell him that he had been accepted.
He had thought of what he was going to do when he got accepted, First he thought of patrolling, and watching anyone to see what they would do wrong. Then he thought he might get promoted and training other recruits how to handle delicate situations. and how to use a weapon when needed most. He was so exited about the job, and he can't wait for it.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
My character is a very Trustworthy character, And he keeps his promises, Even if it took him 5 years, He would still be trying to complete it. As a citizen, He is sometimes rough with the people who are trying to be "rebellious" and act for it strait away. He reports any activity that he cannot handle, and will do anything to try stop them.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
Me and my character are expecting reasonable hours and reasonable food, with training and knowing how to deal with the most "toughest" citizen, I would expect to go on missions with the DvL and other MPF units around City 18. To be able to patroll around the plaza and deal with the citizens who are being idiots, and teaching them what NOT to do.
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.
My characters name is Matt smith, And he has always been one lawful citizen, Once the Metro Police force invaded earth with The City Administrator, He has always looked up to the Metro Police force, not to be rude, or get in there way, He has always thought that he would never get into there group, because there is too many, but he went to the main building (The nexus) and seen if they had any Applications for signing up to this wonderful Police Force. They said there was a couple more applications in the district that they could handle, He was so overjoyed with excitement that he passed out for 1 hour. He woke up in what seemed to be a Medic Bay... And asked, What happened. They told him everything. But this time he was exited, But not exited enough to pass out again, He had filled in the Application for the Metro Police force, And the Unit told him you have to wait one week to see whether is has been accepted, Or rejected... He crossed his fingers, hoping it would get accepted,
And this is where it all begins.

OOC Name: Kiruclanz
IC Character Name: John Rane
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.
John Rane is sick and tired of all the shit going on in the city. So many crimes, thugs, and so on. Hes feeling that maybe either the CCA are not caring, or there are not enough Units. Either way, he wishes to join the CCA. Hes sick of everyone taking his Breen's Water before he even opens it! He doesn't even get to eat most of the time due to all the thieves. When ever he gets a ration from a Ration Distribution, he hides it in his jumpsuit until he gets back to his apartment so that it doesn't get stolen.
This is another reason why he wishes to join, to get a good meal. Not that they don't give out enough rations, but because of the thieves. No one is going to steal food from a CCA officer! And besides, they eat inside the Nexus anyways. So no worries. John Rane's stomach is always growling because of his hunger, most of the time he could even eat a horse, though hes never seen one for awhile.
It's not just thieves, they beat on him, too. He would fight back, but that's uncivil. John Rane has been trying his best to stay out of street corners and closer to CCA officers, so that he doesn't get attacked. If he does, the Officer will see it and hopefully stop it, but he wants to be that CCA officer that sees it. He wants to straighten this city out. John Rane may just start as a recruit, but he'll one day, be a 01 unit.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
John Rane is respectful, and always follows orders. He's a nice guy, but can be strict if told or forced to.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
(I'm so sorry this one is so short, I did my best to detail it.)
John Rane will just be your average unit, he'll follow orders, clamp, go through training, etc. He'll do pretty much what every other unit would do. He would get the Citizens to act civil, even if he has to beat it into them. He will always follow orders from the higher units, especially from 01 units and higher.
John Rane will always follow the rules, just like he did as a Citizen. He'll be no different, except a bit more strict, and he'll be different if he is told to be. John Rane will mostly be promoted after a while. He'll be trained to perfection. John Rane may be a CCA unit on the outside, but a small part of him on the inside is still a Citizen.
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.
I was told I was a very happy child when I was born. A very happy child born in America. I played with lots of kids, I was nice and all. My parents loved me, my family loved me, I had a pretty good life. I always said as a kid "I wanna be a police man when I grow up!" All the time I said it when I was a small child.
We all remember our teen years, don't we? I do, atleast. I got a job at a gas station when I was 15 years old. Gas station was a piece of shit. There was mold coming from the walls, bugs everywhere, etc. The pay was fair, though. It was only a part time job so I could afford stuff I wanted. I only got ten bucks an hour. I only worked four hours a day, Tuesday to Thursday. I never really though about being a police man, anymore.
When I was 17 my parents were going through a hard time with money. I did my best to help, I had already got a better job at a restaurant two years ago. I know I wouldn't be able to go to college, we were doing fine a few years ago, but not at this time.
When I was 19, I was sure I would never get into college. We were getting by with the money, but not enough to pay for a big house and my college. We lived in a little house, but my mother cleaned it a lot so visitors don't think we are really poor.
When I turned 28 they came. It all started with a portal storm... but grew to be something, far worse. I was hiding under a table in someone else's house who I did not know, the person either escaped or was dead because I did not see them anywhere around the house. My house was destroyed by one of those tripod, spider like things. Shooting at everyone, while being followed by space crafts. Almost everyone was dead, and I was sure I would be, too. They kicked open the door, and knocked me out.
A short while after that, I woke up in a bed, wearing a blue jumpsuit. I had a tag on my back, someone told me it said "City 28." No one knew what was going on. Everyone were also wearing blue jumpsuits. A couple what seemed like men in what looked like hazmat suits carrying guns pushed us outside. Weird floating robots taking pictures of people were all around. People in different hazmat suits carrying police batons that stun you when hit. Everyone was afraid.
After a few weeks I got used to it and knew what was happening. These weird aliens called "The Combine" had taken over... the bad part is they only did it in seven hours so I did what they said. I didn't know anyone, and no one knew anyone. All I knew, was my name was John, John Rane. and I'm a Citizen of City 28.
I got used to the life, until I got transferred to a different city for no apparent reason. It was called City 37, it was messed up there. People beating other people, then the other people in hazmat suits beating those people with the Stunbatons. They call them selves "Civil Protection." It's not what you think. They protect you, but only from Anti-Civil behavior. By that I mean if you don't stand up straight, don't talk respectfully, and don't follow their rules... well, you get beaten to a pulp, and then they chop off your arms and legs, remove your eye balls, replace them with lazers, and take out your brain. When that happens you're called a Stalker, oddly enough.
I also heard all the children of the world became slaves in a place called the "Citadel." The main building of the world in a city called "City 17." Not far from my City. Oh, and it gets worse. They took away our right to mate, and took away the ability for women to give birth. There's a big shield around the earth called the "Depression Field" that takes away the women's ability to give birth. This place got worse and worse as I found out these things.
A couple years later I was starting to get used to City 37, but obviously I'm not allowed to do that cause I was transfered to a place called City18. Not that good of a city. I'm always getting my shit stolen, mostly food, of course. I'm thinking of joining Civil Protection to stop all this shit going on in the city. I want some good food too, no ones gonna steal food from a Civil Protection Officer.

IC Character Name:Viktor Dashkov
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.
Viktor thanks the Universal Union for what they brought to Earth. Viktor took a life at age 12 and his parents were killed when he was 15 . Later, Living in City 9, before transferring to city 18, Viktor, had a rough life. He was mugged many times because of the city's lack of Civil Protection. City 9 was an over populated city. People lived in slums and it was fight for survival. The Universal Union had to hold up in certain safe points, it was that bad.
The Combine Civil Authority had convinced the Civil Administrator of the city to transfer some of the population to other cities. Viktor had landed on a train to city 18 one night during a storm. He would be forced to leave the love of his life in city 9, with no one person to help her. On the train ride to city 18 all he could think of was his love and how she had a beautiful smile or how she would laugh a certain way. He knew though, that now he had lost her and would probably never see her again. He thought that there was no safe place anywhere.
That was, until he heard about city 18 where citizens lived not in fear but in peace because of the local Civil Protection teams. They enforced laws and kept civilians in line. Instantly, Vik, thought “What can I do to become a Civil Protection Unit?”. Vik knew he had to become a Civil Protection Officer to help those who need protecting and those who need judgment. He wants to be able to provide justice in honor of the ones who didn't have a chance. Viktor wants a chance to help the Universal Union complete their mission. In a way the Combine Civil Authority will give him a place where he won't be judged for being ruthless.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy):
Loyal
Trustworthy
Dedicated
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
OOC:
I haven't played as a guard in any serious role play so I'm expecting new challenges. Although, I'd like to say, my brain is hardwired for guarding in any role play. I believe becoming a Civil Protection Unit will teach me better role-playing and still be enjoyable. I'm hoping I will become more part of the community and help out more.
IC:
Vik thinks being a Civil Protection Unit will be a big step up. He also thinks he will redeem himself for failing his family, including his lover. He hopes it will earn him the respect of the Universal Union. He expects the training to be rough, even though he grew up alone at the age 15. Viktor doesn't think the Combine Civil Authority will be easy to advance the ranks. He believes he will fit in because he has killed before, a past of violence.
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.
Viktor Dashkov was brought into this world February 15th 1990. His birthplace is Chernobyl, Russia. He was raised on the outskirts of Chernobyl because of the Chernobyl Disaster which had recently happened in 1986. Growing up as an only child wasn't hard for Vik because food was scarce there. That meant not having to share except for with his mom and dad. He learned to fight at the age of five. He saw things that most people wouldn't have nightmares about, people mutated by the radiation.
His childhood was destroyed by survival and disaster so he grew up ready for what lied ahead. At the age of twelve he woke up one night at the noise of a loud thud a man was standing there covered in blood with a makeshift weapon. Vik was startled but remained quiet. The man moved towards him but Viktor swiftly reacted with the grab of a glass shard. It took one small swing for that man to fall down bloodied from a cut to the neck. Young Vik had taken a life at the age of twelve. After that day Vik was never the same.
The rest of his days went pretty much the same. Scavenge, eat, and live. Growing up the way he did he was very close to his mother and father, they had to stick together. On certain days Vik's parents would send him on missions that involved smaller spaces or retrievals. He would collect cans and bottles, sometimes even tires. However, at age fifteen, Viktor's life changed again, his parents died. The way they died is unrecorded. Vik and his parents made it through so much and he had suffered so much but to just see his own blood up and die right in front of him was too much.
Viktor just had to get out of there. He traveled across the lands and made it to city 9 where he thought he'd be safe. He was wrong. Young and ambitious he traveled the streets in hope of finding friends. All he found were muggers and dirt. That is, until, he met the love of his life. Her name was Emily. How they met: Viktor was walking through the 42nd apartments on floor B. He was in a hurry and bumped into a woman. They looked up at each other and a spark flew. She saw his brown eyes full of stories and he saw her gray eyes full of wisdom and they were just meant to be. He forgot about what he was doing and they just talked and he fell in love. Then, he was forced to transfer to a place called city eighteen. After ten days they called him to the train. He boarded with a sigh as he said his good-bye to his love. While on the train memories flushed his mind, all that he'd been through. How his parents loved him so much and how proud they were when he brought his first meal home. He remembered how he had killed a man, but then he remembered his parents death. He started to tear up. He took a picture of Emily and himself and thought “good-bye my love”.
After awhile Vik fell asleep. The train was practically empty but him and two others. About a day passed while on the train and screech the train stopped. He was finally at city eighteen, the safest city out there. As he walked off he thought of Emily again and kept on thinking, “I must leave all behind if I'm to become a Civil Protection Unit”. After he got his bearing he performed small tasks for the Universal Union such as cleaning the streets, reporting disturbances, and cleaning the Union Civil Housing. After his tasks and loyalist points accumulated he became an official loyalist. An OfC tossed him his armband and said, “Don't make me regret giving you this.”. Becoming a loyalist was just his first step to becoming part of the Civil Protection Task-force unit.

OOC Name: Lagging Toaster
IC Character Name: Alex Memphis
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.
My character has given up hope, he has accepted the Universal Union as the leaders; He does not necessarily like them, but he has accepted them. He knows that to survive he has to be the dog of his masters, and do as they want him to do; Serve them.
He realised after watching the power that every unit had, all the fear and terror that they struck in people only could mean one thing: He had to become one, so that he could have the same power, he knew survival of the fittest and he wanted to survive. Therefore he had to give up any struggle and help. He thought that by co-operating with this he could help.
All the rations with food and water that he had been eating and drinking also did not help, constantly listening to propaganda and forgetting. He had to be one with this hive minded ultimate power, as he read; ‘The Zen Of The Union’ he made his choice. I must be strong, I must survive, I must serve my masters.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
My character has given up hope, and found meaning in survival, comforts and mindless serving. He is not happy for the Universal Union, but he has been broken and is therefore what you could call; The average serving drone. He is not especially physical fit because of the malnourishment and small amount of weekly rations.
He tends to be sadistic with the power that he has, when he reports someone with his request device it automatically makes him feel good and superior, so he is somewhat sadistic.
He doesn’t have much moral influence, but he finds comfort in peace and order. He hates when people die in the streets, and people die in-front of everyone. He does not care what happens behind the scene though.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I expect it to be a challenge, but I also except it to be entertaining. I have been role-playing as a MPF unit before, and I loved it. It creates exciting and dynamic role-play if all parts OOCly works together which is what I love in role-play; Working together to create dynamic and exciting role-play.
I think it is gonna be challenging due to the amount of new players that needs to be taught, and all the people who aren’t able to comprehend the real function of the rebels. They think that it is about getting a gun and shooting. That is only a smart part of it; The real part is helping citizens escape, giving them knowledge about themself though books and feeding them decent food.
I hope and think that I will be able to handle minges and new players without just shooting them and insulting them but by teaching them. I hope that I will get to work together with the rest of the units and that we will work together 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.
He were your average chump, working in a local alcohol store, he lived in a small appartment with a way too high rent, so he was always short on money. He never experienced any type of luxury, even his childhood was shitty as he got bullied in his school, although that he was always a somewhat religious man all his believe in morality was annihilated when the combine attacked earth; An wave of man-hacks was released right next to his apartment, he ran as fast as he could down in the apartments basement, and as he heard the vivid noises of man-hacks, he locked the door and neglected any ones needs for entering this basement. He heard screams, sounds of murder and explosions, he saw blood flowing through the street and bodies laying around, suddenly in all his fright he fell unconscious.
As he woke up, everything was quite, he could hear sobbing and people walking around. He got out of the basement, wishing that it was just a nightmare. But what met him was absolutely unimaginable horrors, people were being guided into vehicles, sobbing and screaming. If anyone broke out of line they were dragged away as they screamed and clawed at the ground.
Fast forward two years; After living like a worker drone and doing nothing, but just... Breathing, eating and watching he was relocated to City 18. Here he kept living the same life, although accepting but hating his benefactors he were dreaming about one day, dragging on the uniform of a MPF unit, wielding his stun-stick and striking the fear into people which had been struck into him. He started reporting any anti-citizens that he saw, he even wrote a letter to the city administrator about how uncivil many of the current MPF units was, as they shot anything that penetrated there checkpoints without any hesitancy, he read the Zen Of The Union which made him somewhat appreciate the Union. He wanted to make a difference, he wanted to become the dog of his masters, he wanted to feel powerful and find comfort. As he realized this, he wrote his application.

I remember how it felt to live yourself into the role of a MPF unit, taking orders from your leaders and being somewhat afraid of them, while still appreciating them.

Indeed I do, if I’m told that I do something wrong. I usually try to make it better, I am not ignorant nor am I oblivious.

John Willis wishes to join the CP because he is looking for a better chance at life and to bring a difference to the streets.

In the family past he has heard stories of his relatives being in the police force and bringing change to the streets with there outstanding arrest record. I wont only have an outstanding arrest record i will have an outstanding reputation with my superiors and my co-workers. I understand this position is hard to achieve but i am willing to keep applying to i do get picked to fulfill a duty of a lifetime.
Whilst living in city 18, John noticed a significant amount of his friends joined the CP, every time he gets a chance to talk with one they are called away on the radio to an emergency. He usually never gets to see them or talk to them about there job. I myself would like to join to improve civil relations with the community, I would like to see the civilians asking more questions about the life around city 18.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
John expects the CCA would be a redemption to all of his past wrongs and a way to serve others, knowing full well the prices he must pay in the form of beatings, harassment, etc. to keep order and help mankind. He wants to keep tradition, up until he dies and is the final generation of his famliy. Who lives in City 17 and is not making enough of a living to even eat without rations.
I, myself, would like to see what it looks like from the other side. Having played through Half Life 2, Episode 1, and Episode 2, I wondered what it was like to view the Resistance as a main antagonist, instead of the other way around. I also like the look of the Combine, especially Synths. Sad that I cannot be one, though.
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.
John Willis was born in Germany about 35 years ago. He was born to Manfred Steiner, his father, and Katja Hoppe, his mother. He lived in Berlin for about 3 year until his parents died and he had to move back to the states. His mother worked at a Base Hospital which soon after John's brother, Andreas Steiner, was born, she bought for herself. John's sister, Gizala Steiner, is an odd one, no matter how her parents raised her, she was defiant. John and Gizala grew very distant as John became lawful and Gizala became chaotic and crazy.
Before the 7-Hour War, John trained to become as great a officer as he could while in and out of school. He generally ignored many distractions during training such as television, sports, hunger, and even his girlfriend. By the time the portal storms started hitting Hamburg, John was ready and able to help defend against attacks. Just before the war his sister died of lung cancer. This was one of many personal reasons that John decided to quit the police force and help his grandmother at her general store. When the war finally hit, John was very respectful of his new superiors. He tried to get as much on their good side as possible so as not to be hunted down and killed.
After the war, John was still a bit distressed over many personal issues, including his father. This conflicted with his desire to fulfill tradition and join the armed forces. Eventually, his friends encouraging him, John found his willingness to proceed with this, realizing that dwelling on his past does not help people around him. John finally gathered enough courage to pay the price of order and security by attempting to join Civil Protection Team. Once In He plans to Secure and Protect.

IC Character Name: Jayson Jackson
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.
Jayson was a part of Children Service's and worked most of the time with children, but also with a lot of parents too. Daily, he would see children that were abused, hurt, raped, and so on by their parents, strangers, or bullies from the school. Sometimes it was the parents getting the hurt from the child, but nevertheless he had to put up with it. He almost felt like he should be doing more. He would then soon find out... After the Seven Hour War
After the Seven Hour War, Jayson was transported to a camp, where all families were being separated before his eyes, but alas, there was nothing he could do. But, as this was happening, a large group of rebels came, are started opening fire at everyone. It didn't matter if they were man, woman, child or combine, they sprayed all those bullets with no sign of mercy. He ducked for cover, as combines were determined to kill the rebels, they destroy his cover he had found, and as he got up, he was shot twice in the arm.
Many hours later, he had found himself in a hospital bed, and his shoulder bandaged up. He looked up and saw an armband on the Combine, and saw it read: "City 18" on it. He knew he was in the aid of the combine, and ever since that raid by those rebellious scumbags, he would sign up to become part of the CCA. He promised he will take care of all Rebels and Resistance with-in the cities, and keep all things civilized.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
-Loyal
-Honest
-Menacing
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
From what Jayson knows about, CCA are one hell of a tough, well-kept Combines. He knows that they will stop at nothing, so that all citizens are kept at peace. Jayson knows that he will need to be dedicated and loyal to the CCA, so he needs to keep his head up, and learn to be one with the combines.
When Jayson was at the camp, he always heard light talk about how the Combines are bad people, and their torturous beings not from this planet. Jayson had thought this was true, until the Rebels attacked the camp. The second that happened, he knew that they were protecting us from them, not about to throw us into a pit of fire. He even saw some of them telling the people to find cover.
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.
Jayson was born on July 12, 1990. His mother, once had given birth to him, died from what the doctors called a "Maternal death". Jayson's father could not take this lightly and began thrashing about the room, screaming "Why God!" . He was an atheist. The doctor pulled Jayson out of the room, and since Jayson's father was in such a mental state where he could only repeat those 2 words, he was put in a mental institute for 8 months. Even the doctors said that this was no mental breakdown. During that time, the doctor gave the liberty of naming him "Jayson".
Ever since that, they put Jayson in an orphanage until his father came out, but for some reason, his father never came to pick him up. So he spent 13 years in an orphanage. Everyone of the kids there would fight constantly, so one day, Jayson thought he would see what made these children fight. After every fight, Jayson would ask every child why they would fight, what they got out of it, and so on and so forth. Once Jayson interviewed all the kids, they finally came to a resolution to the point where there was not a fight at all for 2 months, until most of them were adopted and new children came and it just started all over again.
Shit happened, he was adopted, raised perfectly, and just before the Seven Hour War, he finally got an apprenticeship to the CSC (Child Service's Care) at the age of 21. Soon after this, the Seven Hour War began. He was awe'd to everything that was going on, he honestly didn't expect a force this big to hit earth, and to even just to take over Earth in seven hours.
After the Seven Hour War, he was transferred to a camp, where he was awaiting on what his fate was going to be. As he was waiting, the Rebels had made their move, so early on, and started shooting at the crowds of people. Jayson was shot in the shoulder twice, attempting to move to better cover, and was transferred to City 18. Luckily, the combines had found him to be in an alive state. He awoke with a bandaged shoulder. He knew that in order to get back at these rebels, he would need to sign up as a CCA, and hope that he would be chosen to become one of them. He knew that he would not let them down trying to keep the peace in the city, and taking down any rebellious scum.

So, we all decided to take a stand, and to revolutionize the place. I lead the stand and resisted when they were attempting to relocate us, and when they started to handcuff, and beat us, we got angry, and fired back, once all the Police forces were down, we raided the mayor, screaming VIVA LA POLICE! (Which apparently means LIVE THE POLICE! But who cares, it was our slogan) and we all has the time of our lives.

OOC Name: Saren AKA Nik
IC Character Name: Nikolai Zakhar
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. Nikolai wants to join the Combine Civil Authority because ever since they first invaded, not during the Seven Hour War during that he was scared but afterwards, ever since he saw what the Combine Civil Authority could do as a whole he wanted to join, he wanted to be a part of a great, unstopable force such as the Combine Civil Authority, a force that will stop at nothing to keep things in order and under control and in line. He wants to help with that mission priority and help keep order among everyone.
Although he has wanted to join earlier he just now really felt it was the time to do so, so what did he do? He filled out an application hoping and dreaming of finally becoming one of the great Civil Protection units. Of course he knew it would be a dangerous task but he was always up for something dangerous. Nikolai wants to join not only to be a part of something great, but to be a part of of something some people actually fear and dispise, he wanted to keep Society protected while keeping the citizens in fear of what the CCA will do next.
Not only did Nikolai want to be a part of the CCA for the reasons listed above but he also wanted to be in the CCA so that he could help keep things stable among everyone in the city, keep citizens following the prescribed law given to them by the CCA and keep each and every person doing as told, when told, and how they are told to the letter of what they were told. Nikolai feels that he has something to offer to the Combine Civil Authority and that if he gets accepted he can help keep City-18 a city without to many problems and not very much civil disobedience displayed by anti-citizens.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy) Truthful

Responsible
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
OOCLY: I've been a combine many times on other servers so I'm expecting the role to be similar to those on the servers before but I'm also expecting a new experience with a group of players I've never played with before and don't exactly know who to expect things from and who not to expect things from. I also expect my time to be enjoyable as it was before because usually, I join, or apply for CCA and get in and the time I'm in is extremely fun so I'm expecting some fun times and some times that aren't so fun, either way I think my experience will be very enjoyable and hopefully full of RP experiences that would not be experienced outside of the Combine Civil Authority.
ICLY: Nikolai is expecting many things from the Combine Civil Authority including experience but most of all training. Nikolai expects to be trained in many different ways and he already knows that if he makes it in the training will help him in hopefully every situation he gets into and every dispatch he gets. Nikolai believes that by joining the Combine Civil Authority he will get the best training he can possibly get among being able to finally do something with himself and not just wander the streets like the mindless citizens waiting for the next ration distribution cycle. He feels he has more to offer then that.
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. Nikolai was born in 1980 into a family, his family was not rich nor poor, they were just average trying to make it. His father who was a sales representative made most of the money for the family, his mother worked in a small time diner on the corner of his street. With his and her money combined it gave them enough to pay the bills on time and get the essentials needed to live in there everyday life. Nikolai went to work at the young age of fourteen at his mothers diner, he wasn't well paid since his mother was already being paid but the money he did earn, it got him what he wanted. He always liked to have what he wanted and if he didn't get it he would get the money himself to get it. He wasn't greedy he just didn't like seeing something he wanted and not being able to get it when he wanted.
Nikolai worked in his mothers diner for a while, after a while he got tired of always doing the same thing, listening to the same commands so he decided he was going to quit the job and use the money he had earned to move to another country. So he did, he got his stuff ready and went to the airport. At the airport, Nikolai spent all his money on a plane ticket to America, his mother went with him, she didn't like the fact he was leaving at the age of only eighteen. He did though, he was tired of the seeing the same buildings, locations and people every day, he bought a ticket to America to explore and hopefully find something new, something he could be proud of.
Nikolai had a long flight to go and the whole time he thought about two things, what it would be like over there and how he left his mother just standing there sobbing. He felt bad but he knew, she needed to get over it, she needed to realize he was growing up and that he wasn't some little kid anymore. His mother told him that she would write him every day. He doubted she had enough time in the day with work and everything to do that. Nikolai couldn't sleep on the plane, he had never been on a plane and he was pretty scared. He had heard stories in the past about them crashing or something going wrong with them and he didn't like that at all.
When Nikolai's plane landed he was almost asleep, the screeching of the tires hitting the pavement and moving forward at a quick pace. As the plane began to slow down Nikolai stretched in his seat. When the plane finally stopped he stood up and got in the single file line with the rest of the crowd. He needed to earn money, he needed new clothes, a place to stay and he needed to find someone to help him out if not a map. Nikolai had arrived in the outskirts of a city called Chicago, Illinois, a rather big city but it seemed pleasant enough. Nikolai rented a hotel for the night with the money he had left over from the plane ticket, he figured, he'd go out and find his way around and find a job in the early morning so he'd have plenty of time.
Nikolai liked the hotel a lot, the bed was comfortable and it was pleasant, for a while at least. Nikolai slept for about four hours until he heard a loud scream and then a gunshot followed after that, when Nikolai heard it he sat up weak and numb from all the walking and moving around. He slowly got up and limped over to the window, he peered through his window and looked outside, the street was lit by a single lamppost sitting next to a diner, no signs of any one was out there until he saw some movement from a near by bank, he could see a shadow by the wall, it seemed to be a man sitting by it, he felt like going to see if he was alright but he didn't know what happened and he didn't want to get into anything big his first night. He decided just to walk back over to his bed and go back to sleep. He tried and tried and tried to go to sleep but he just couldn't. He couldn't quit thinking about the figure he saw, he knew he couldn't have done anything though.
Morning came early for Nikolai, the crickets chirped all night and he felt light-headed all night. When the sun shone through the curtains Niko knew it was time to get up and begin his day, he knew today was the day to make something of himself in this new life and new place. This place was a lot different then Russia, in Russia he didn't have restless nights, he slept perfect like he was floating on a pillow, here though, it was different. Niko could barely get up and take some medication to help him. Nikolai slowly sat up and did his morning routine. After he had done everything he could in his room he checked out knowing he didn't have enough money to stay another night, today he had to make money or he'd be sleeping on the street tonight. As Niko left the hotel he noticed the streets weren't overly crowded like they would be at this time in Russia but he knew he needed to learn, this wasn't Russia, this was a totally different world for him and he knew he had to get used to it if he wanted to survive.
Nikolai lived in Chicago for fourteen years until he was 32, married with two kids. It was vacation time, the family including Nikolai was already packed up and ready to go, plane tickets already bought destination already set. They were going to Nikolai's home country, Russia to see how it has changed since 1980 when he was first born. Nikolai and his family left the house of course they didn't know they'd never see each other or their house again. When they got to the airport they were already running late so they were forced to hurry up with bagging and run to the plane. The plane ride lasted ten hours and when they got there they noticed something right off the bat. Gunfire, screams and havoc all around. People were shouting, screaming for their loved ones and kids. Nikolai looked out his window everything he could see was a big cloud of dust, no reminisce of a city once called Moscow only thing left was fire, smoke and bodies layed out across the airstrip as far as Nikolai could see. He had no idea what the fuck was going on but he knew he had to protect his family no matter what.

7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience? My most memorable quality Rp experience hands down would have to be about Four years ago when I was a starting out recruit on a server that closed down a few years ago called HL2Land. I had just gone done with training and was out with I guess he would be considered my training officer. Well, we were patrolling the City-45 Square and all of a sudden we heard gunfire coming from District-2. We radioed it in and got Six or Seven units all together to do a raid, after we all got ready, got the equipment ready we set out.
It ended up turning into a whole riot staring in D-2 and ending up all over the city with pretty much every citizen who was not a loyalist attacking us. The roleplay was pretty tense and it ended up lasting about two hours in a whole. I remember it so well because never in my time of roleplaying, not in the six years have I had a roleplay as tense or as I guess the word would be exilirating as that time. That wasn't the funnest roleplay I've ever had but it was quite close and definitely qualifies as the most memorable roleplay experience I've ever had.

OOC Name: The Mighty cookiemonstur
IC Character Name: Joseph O'Connor
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.
Joseph O'Connor grew up on the streets of Boston, Massachusetts. When he was only eight, his mother was killed in a drive by shooting while she was out at the store. This shocked his whole family, including his father and sister. His father did the best that he could for them, and Joseph swore that, when he grew up, he was going to do something about the crime in Boston. He didn't grow up with much, only his father and his sister. That, however was all he needed.
He was at the top of his class in elementary school, and managed to keep first honors while he attended Boston Latin School. while growing up, he was influenced to do many things when he grew up. Most influencial of all, however, was his mother's death. So he applied for Harvard Law School, and studied to become an Attorny. He vowed to fight for the innocent, and to put criminals behind bars. (He, however, hoped for the chair most of the time)
In 2009, Joseph was just getting used to his new job. Due to the portal storms back in 2004, most of the human population was moved into cities to protect them from monsters coming through the portals. He was dealing with petty crimes one after another. One case of theft, followed by another, and another. He never thought it would end, until the Seven Hour War. After the war, with no job, and being held in City 56 (formerly Boston), he saw what real justice was. How the Civil Protection Officers handled crime. He felt that this was what he was meant to do. To protect people from harm by going out onto the streets. When City 56 got too crowded, he and many others were moved to Cities in former Europe. Joseph was moved to City 18, and so he remains there, idolizing the Civil Protecting, aspiring to be one of them.

OOC:
I have played as CP on other servers before, but those were semi-serious and based on present day Earth. They were really just cops. I expect that playing as a CCA character will be a new experience, as I will be able to see the darker side of a dark story to begin with. I feel that this new experience will be a great one, and will increase my RPing experience greatly.
IC:
Joseph expects the experience to be life changing. He will finally be on field, doing sweet justice, as opposed to just hoping that the cops get the right man, and hoping the jury sees his argument. He feels that the days of him waiting for the justice to be served will be over and that he will be able to deliver swift justice, without all the paperwork. He wants to serve immediate justice. He wants to protect the city from people like the ones that killed his mother.

It was a bright sunny day out. June 26th, 1996. Joseph and his father were outside playing catch. His sister was drawing on the concrete with chalk. His mother was at the store. She was gone for an hour already, but they weren't worried. She probably had met one of her old friends and was catching up with her. Then two hours passed. They were getting worried now, as she never took this long to get groceries. After the third hour, his father was about to leave for the store to see where she was, when the police came. They told him that Joseph's mother had died in a drive-by shooting by the grocery store. He came back in, with a stolid look on his face.
"Your mother is dead," he said, and then went into his room. He didn't come out until the next day. His sister was crying in her room too. Joseph, however, promised that he wouldn't cry. He promised that he would work to bring justice to all people who would dare try to do something like that.
Chapter Two: The Decision
It was during his senior year at Boston Latin School that he finnaly decided how he was going to prevent crime. He decided he was going to be an attorny. He did well enough in school, and was able to get a scholarship to the prestigious Harvard Law School. While at Harvard, the portal storms started to happen. Luckily, Harvard was inside the city when it was locked up to protect humans from the aliens, so Joseph was able to continue his studies. Four years later, he got his Masters in Law, and was hired to a law firm who was dealing with many of the crimes commited in the cramped city.
Chapter 3: Leading up to the Seven Hour War
It was always busy at the law firm, as many petty crimes had been commited and the suspects were always being brought in. They never seemed to have enough space to hold them all. Joseph seemed to fly through these petty cases, either freeing them when fighting for them, or prosecuting them while on the prosecution. He was always hoping for a big case, but he never seemed to get it. In early 2009, however, he got one. It was a man accused of breaking into a home and murdering the whole family there. A wife and husband, their two children, and a dog. He was so happy to be on the prosecution. He was finally going to be able to do what he got the job to do. Then, the Seven Hour War happened.
Chapter 4: The Seven Hour War and the events afterwards
When war was announced against the aliens, Joseph didn't really care either way. He was making money, and he had the case he was always waiting for. Seven hours later, however, he was furious. His case was over. Everyone was being rounded up, including those being held in jail and prison. He was kept in Boston, which would be known as City 56. This city was even more crowded than before the war. So half of the residents, including Joseph, were moved around the world. Joseph was moved to a certain City 18. He had witnessed the swift justice that the CCA had delivered to murderers and thiefs, and hated them at first. He began to see it daily, and eventually loved to see the criminals be dealt with. Eventually, he even aspired to be one of them. Now it is the year 2016, and he is still in the place he was six years ago. He feels that he is coming closer to being able to deliver that kind of justice

OOC Name: Kassandra Franklyn (Steam Account is franklyngardiner, good thing my brother moved)
IC Character: Kassandra Draw
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.
My character has witnessed a variety of anti-citizen acts that have in the end harmed her in ways that affected her mental state of being. She see's the Combine Union as a form of liberating herself from these maltreatments and also as a way of riding herself of her humanity. To her, Kassandra Draw, losing her human status to become transhuman is her logic of losing her ability to be harmed, to a girl that has been harmed so much, this is a golden solution.
Another reason as to why Kassandra would find this status pleasing is due to her already quite unified bond with various Combine Civil Authority units. Her standings with Officers 676, 326 and 040 are quite good. She has helped each and every one complete a task, one of which was a core component to his promotion. Due to her loathing the citizens because of their natural tendancies to lead uninteresting lives, she finds the CCA's unity appealing.
On a final note Kassandra is a person who takes great pleasure in recieving rewards for completing duty's or helping a higher command. She is average when it comes to the administration of command issues but she is more than profoundly eager to obey the orders of her superiors. In this case she is sort of like a puppy dog. She does what you say, does it to the best of her abilities. In return, of course, she likes to have a treat, not neccesarily big rewards, as much as a "good job" or simple pat on the back is enough to make her feel proud of herself and what she's done.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
She has a sarcastic attitude with those she has a high rate of comfort with, though these occassions are quite rare. On the other hand, she is usually timid and obedient around Civil Protection units. Her boldness and calm characteristics are in play when she has no emotional bondings to another character. She is also a person that isn't very likely to give a second chance, and will spring to report or enforce any codes of conduct that are broken.
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 Combine Civil Authority to be a "reinstallment" into the Combine Roleplaying world. Also a way to rest assure I am roleplaying with other well prepared roleplayers, as opposed to some people that are in citizen status. I've been on other servers and achieved Combine OTA Elite status, and I believe that the lawful, not neccesarily leadering role is something I can roleplay more effecitvly.
As far as my character goes, I believe it will be beneficial for her, not neccesarily with the raising in status, but more of the fact she is stepping up in a scale of discipline. Her natural need to satisfy authority figures and ensure all is going along as civilization would proclame would fit in well with a low ranking Combine Civil Authority unit, as opposed to any other faction.
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.
My character Kassandra Draw used to live in the former country of Canada. Once the Combine forces invaded she was lucky enough to evade them for the duration of the invasion, though she only made it through mere luck. She has recieved a scar on her lower back, this due to a headcrab climbing out a canister, which missed her and it's pincer like arm cut her profoundly. She continued to run into the more savage of Canadian territories, in which by then the Human/Combine agreements had been settled and she was captured by a Combine Alien that was roaming the forest. Needless to say, she was very lucky. After passing through City 45 and City 9, she was finally left off in the current city: City 18. She spent a small portion of her time as a scavenger, but soon she gave up on it, and decided to adopt a loyalist life style. All these events are also directly linked with her constant changing off attitude, due to each extreme condition played had left a small portion of mental scarring in her.
OOC Details
Well now a little bit of time to talk about me, that's splended! My name, as mentioned before, is Kassandra Franklyn. I am a manga artist, I also am a Admin at Deliverence Of Anarchy Build server and all other DOA servers. I have about a 4 year roleplaying experience and I take roleplaying very seriously. Besides that I don't have much a different life than any other nerd girl would have, despite the compulsive need to rant when troubled.
1. How long have you played on role-playing servers in general?
Roleplaying servers in Garrys Mod, hm, Well I did play on a now non-existant server due to financial problems. None the less I did play there for about a year, the server was in Russian, that was in early 2010 so I can't say I remember the name. I performed as a OTA Elite for 9 months and also the Co-Leader of the Resistance on the server. I have lost some familiarity with the HL2RP Combine system due to the extent of me not being on Garrys Mod, none the less, I remember most basics and many advanced motions.
2. How long have you played on serious servers?
I have never been a fan of non-serious roleplaying servers, and in response to this question I can only say exactly what I've said in the previous question. If it is to be very accurate, you could take a week off my general roleplaying server description, for I was playing DarkRP servers for about a week before leaving in frusteration.
3. How long have you played on Catalyst Gaming?
To be quite honest I have only been playing on Catalyst Gaming for about 2 days. I have been informed that Catalyst Gaming's HL2RP server is also a few months recent, and I'm quite impressed.
4. What Time zone are you in?
EST-Eastern Time: Bogota/Lima
5. In what country do you live?
I live in the country of Panama, though I am a American raised in Colorado
6. How old are you?
I am of the age of 16 years old currently
7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience?
I remember once a very odd roleplaying experience inbetween a Civil Protector and my roleplay as the Resistance Co-Leader. It was a very interesting story really, I was nearly caught by this Civil Protecter, yet I was able to diverte him into a small conversation. In this small conversation, we established a sort of friendship, and it extended so much that many resistance members felt free to come invite this Civil Protection unit to private meetings in the City 18 District 2 area. This also lead to a abundance in Combine information that had the Combine raising the threat scale of the Resistance from a mere low, to the extent of pelting the District 2 zone with headcrab canisters. I was amazed by this style of corruption, because it was a amazing plot twist. Nobody suspected it, and in all honesty that memory probably shall never leave my mind.
8. Do you consider yourself a good listener?
I would consider myself a good listener in general, I am always eager to know what's on peoples minds, and if I can, always reach a agreement with them. I come on Garry's Mod to enjoy some cracker jack Roleplaying, and, I wish this for everybody. Everybody comes on to enjoy roleplaying, so I attempt to make it as enjoyable, without sacrificng roleplay quality, as possible.

1. Have you ever been detained or apprehended for a Sociostability Infringement before? If so, explain?
I have once for taking a old man I found in the District 2 section to a Combine checkpoint, in which, I was searched, made a friend (040) and was detained for about 1/4th of a cycle, even though my due cycle was 2 cycles, I was let out early.
2. Do you regularly eat Combine Civil Authority Issued Rations?
No, I currently do not have access to them.
3. Are you willing to give your life to the cause of the Universal Union?
Of course, it is much better than living in the repugnant world of the citizens and their instability.

5. Will you remain loyal and faithful to the Universal Union as long as you live?
Yes, I would never betray the greater good. The Universal Union is exactly what the universe needs, and due to that, there is no reason to ever leave or even think about betrayal.
6. Why do you want to join the Combine Civil Authority?
I want to join because I believe I can strip myself from these human emotions and thoughts that cause me to stray from the path that civilization lays down for all of us. The way of the transhuman world is the only answer, and the Combine hold that answer. To be loyal and faithfull to the Universal Union is only a small price to pay when it comes to being able to be the shining example of what civilization can truly reach with it's outstanding potential! Being average is no longer acceptable, we must be outstanding, we all have the potential, and the Combine Civil Authority is the first step into such perfection.

But when he walked outside the trainstation he knew he was wrong.
When Tom stayed for a week, he knew he wanted a better life. But the CCA applications weren't going to open fo another whole week! He went to recieve his rations but had to wait 3rd in line but even when 3rd in line it still was a long wait waiting for the CP units to come. When he got his rations he was finally satisfied.
Tom realized that City 18 wasn't that bad. He didn't mind the combine because, he knew they were just keeping them safe. Then the time came... he was ready and the applications were open.

IC Character Name: Patrick L. Robin
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.
My character wishes to join the Civil Authority because of what he has seen in his the last current years. His first opinion is that he personally thinks he could do a better job. (Of course he doesn't share that thought.)
When he sees a unit, he sees a person that doesn't seem to act terrifying or doing the job correctly. That is also one of my characters traits. He thinks he can always do better. Thats also why he became a loyaltist in the first place. He believed he could always be better than others. (NOTE: My character never shared this thought.)
Secondly, he wishes to join a good, sustainable society. When he sees citizens, he sees a clumsy group of fools. He believes this is why citizens are treated in such a way. That it is THERE faults. That it is IS fault. But he cannot take living in such a way. He wants to be in a place where he is doing something good, and gets treated as he is. He has a "Personal" connection as well to them. He just believes it is the right thing to do.
Third and last, He wants the feeling of power on his side... He wants to feel as if he is actually in control of something. He basicly NEEDS this to survive. When he sees a high ranking unit he sees himself. And he WANTS to be like that. And why doesn't he join? He has his armband, the will, and a IC application. (Below.)
So he goes for it. Also, one last little reason. He wants to try to keep these citizens socialy stable. Now anybody says that, but my character is SERIOUS. Like I said, he sees the pesky citizens around them. He wishes to make them orderly like he is. So there you go. Some reasons why my character wants to join the Civil Protection.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
My characters traits? First, he has picked up some artist-like traits from his Mother - which was an artist herself. (More on the backstory.) Which can be considered one. Another is trust. And no I am not just copying from up above. My character is TRUSTABLE. When he is given a task HE DOES THAT TASK. Finally, he has learned mechanic skills as being a mechanic for several years.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
--OOC (for me)--
I expect it to be an exciting Roleplay decision for me. As I have been it once, (As 303.) and happily re-apply for some more RP. I love to roleplay. But now if I am accepted I do not have to hear, "Derpety derp u da citizen u must be da minge." (Which I am glad to shake off since most people think that. AND admins do trust the units more...) Also, its just plain RP fun. I mean, who could say being a Civil protection unit couldn't be fun?
--IC (For my character.)--
This will be a good experence. As my character expects to enter a brand new world of good things. Such as better food, respect, everything! (Hehe...He is WAY off...) as ICly he is happily writting an application to hand in to the nearest unit. He also expects it that the high command get even MORE stuff. Like parties, special UU items, ect. (Once again, in a way he is WRONG.) Finally, he hopes to rise through the ranks. Becoming an amazing leader. Which is just personally his goal.
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.
Patrick was born on 1979 in Dallas, Texas. Patrick had a happy life there as a child. His Mother was an artist. His Father was a writer for a local newspaper. Times seemed nice, good food, nice house, everything. Until an un-faithful day in 1990. Patrick's Mother died of a heart attack. It was very sad... Since then the Robin's house never seemed cheery. It always had a "Gloomy" Feeling to it.
Patrick's School life was about normal. He had a few friends. A school bully, you know... All through 6th grade everything was good...But by middle school, things went downhill... His Father recieved a job offering in a small town known as Fairfield, Texas. A small country town with country folk. But yet Patrick never really fit in. He was always the, "person nobody knows about" type. He grew up from then on lonely...
By High School the year was 1993. High School was actually nicer. In his Freshmen year he met a nice woman named Katy. They dated for a few months when she left him. "He is too weird." She would say. This is about the saddest time of Patricks life. He really had nowhere to go, nobody nice to see. Patrick was happy by Senior year. He could finally get out of this place! He couldn't wait! Eventually he graduated. And moved off to Washington, DC.
By this time it was 1998. Patrick was 19 and got a job as a car mechanic. He seemed to have a connection between cars and himself. He just loved working on them for hours... You could call him a "Gear Head."
...In 1999 Patrick's Father died of a shot to the head, In other words there was a robbery and his Father was murdered in the process. Once again, another sad day for him. But he continued his life. Just as any other
person would.
Years passed as little happened. until of course the "Portal Storms." Which brought kaos all over the Earth.
After this time. Patrick was basicly like anybody else, terrified of what was going to happen. This continues, on for some time until it eventually ends. The 7-hour war is over, humans have lost control, and has brought to what we see as today.
(NOTE: I did not get too techical as I am afraid of making an error of how these events went on. Not that I do not know about the cannon but do not want to mess up.)
Patrick was brought to city 21 first. He didn't mind it there - It was ok. During this time Patrick was neither good or bad. In other words he didn't get in trouble but didn't do anything extra for the Union. After about a few years he had been moved to city 18. This is where he is today. He finally decided to take up resonsiblity and become a loyaltist. He worked hard for that armband...And finally recived it. Patrick had already been thinking about the Civil Protection, and decided, "Why not? I have an armband, a will, I could do that!" As this brings us to where we are right now...

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.

IC Character Name: Amber Rose
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.
My character has always been loyal to the union. Ever since they first arrived on Earth. Her family all became rebels and she couldn't handle that. She knew they were going to end up dead so she decided that the Civil Protection was her family and devoted her life to it.
She eventually gets raped and it only pushs her closer to the CCA. So she ends up snitching on her own family because she knew it was the right thing to do. Everything in her life seemed to be going good. Her obsession with drinking breen's water soon made her forget her family and everything
other than serving the union.
Eventually one of her friends gets killed by the resistance and she can't take it anymore. She vows to one day join the CCA and serve the union and protect all the innocent citizens. She aspires to become a high ranking unit. One day she hopes to help get rid of the remaining resistance and make what she thinks is a "Perfect World" free of trouble.

For me I am expecting it to be a good fun way to roleplay on the server. As a CCA I want to roleplay to the best of my ability as a CCA. I also want to serve the union and have fun. but I also want to help make the server better for others by reducing minges and trying to teach them how to roleplay. If that doesn't work I will at least handle them the best I can so they are not a distraction/mess with other roleplayers.
For my character it is a way for her to serve the union because they have done so much for her she thinks she needs to start giving instead of just taking. She doesn't want anyone to have to deal with the things she has had to deal with. She wants to help keep the streets clean and make the world a better place for everyone. She also want's to be able to assist any wounded or person in need of help in any way she possibly can.
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.
My character was the youngest born into a rather large family with 4 other siblings. Ever since she could remember she did everything in her power to keep them all out of trouble. Three of her siblings were alive but her eldest brother died fighting in the Seven Hour War. Whenever the seven hour war happened and the movement to the citys started came she immediatly fell in love with them despite her brother dying from them. But her family on the otherhand all hated them and shunned her for her love of the Combine. They all eventually got moved into city 45. Amber always stayed as close as she could with the combine but her family decided they would rather go into S6 and fight the combine's powers. One day she was upset and needed to visit her family,
because after all even if they were resistance it was her family. So she decided to go into S6.
While there she asked around and tried to find them but instead she found a group of black men who had raped her. Upset and distraught she looked harder and harder for her family. With no luck she went to a bar and asked if anyone knew where they were. She was told where they stayed and went to the apartment room they stayed at. She was hoping the reunion would be amazing, but she was wrong. They all hated her and told her to get out and that she was a disgrace to her family for loving the combine.
So she left, alone and sad she decided to do what she did best. She went to the combine and told them that her family lives in S6 and lied and said they came to the city to visit her telling them their exact location she waited to hear from the CCA again. One day she was outside drinking breens water and she saw her family being brought into the nexus. For one of the first times in her life she felt joy and started reporting everything she say from that point on.

IC Character Name: Jared Krim
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.
Jared has always been a great man. He has followed all rules that were given for anywhere he went. As a child, his dad respected him greatly because he was the only child in the family who would follow exactly what he said. Even still as a 37 year old man, he has broken very little rules and obeys the authorities.
When Jared witnesses others not following laws/rules, he wants to step in and do something about it. He mentions to them that they need to stop, and if they don't he has to call the police. He would not like to have to only mention to them what they are doing and have to call in, but he would like to be the authority and punish those who do not want to obey. With the power, he would bring down these people, and has always wanted to.
Jared has always looked up to authorities and especially Civil Protectors for their good deeds in controlling civilians. He had the idea that he was going to eventually get to be one of them. In his mind, he HAD to be one so he could serve and protect. His ultimate goal in life is to become a Civil Protection Officer and join the cause of keeping the city civilized.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
For myself, I am expecting a great roleplaying experience and helping others. I also am expecting to keep other players in-line while still have fun with playing as a CP. I always have loved games where you are a cop and enfore law and such, and this will be, honestly, a great experience that is my #1 goal in garry's mod right now.
As for Jared, he is expecting to devote his life and time to the greater cause. He is expecting to be able to enforce what he believes in and put down rule breakers to keep the city civil. His passion is for rules and he expects others to follow them, but if they don't he will have the power to punish them. Jared also expects to follow whatever his commanding officers tell him to do without question or smack-talk.
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 said before, Jared grew up obeying every and all rules given to him. He grew up in a small town not known by many others from around the area. He looked up to the authorities in the town and always wanted to be like them. As he grew, he became more aware of the surrounding rules everywhere he went. In his early twenties he met a girl name Hannah, but she was a terrible criminal. This forced him, immediately, to turn her in with no regret. He lost all contact with his siblings afterwards because they had a deep love for Hannah. He was almost completely separated with his family. His mother had died after exploring a warehouse. It was never known how she deceased. His dad was his only friend because wherever he went, the people tried to stay away from him in fear of being turned in to the police. Eventually when his dad died, he devoted his whole life to becoming part of the law. He traveled back to the town he grew up in and applied to become part of the force. There, he was trained and didn't have many people to watch over, so he moved to a city known as Crandor. He got into the police academy and became a very loyal and trusted policeman. Jared's life was nearly complete until he was shot in action and removed from the police force. A few months later, the 7 hour war began and Crandor was invaded. That is where he was sent to City 18. He became a very quiet man, not sure what to do with himself in this new environment. He was then introduced to the CCA. His new goal in life was to be a part of this organization. He worked his way to becoming a Loyalist when he was relocated to City 8. This is where he gained full Loyalist status and is now ready to be a part of the Civil Protection.

IC Character Name: Jack Sharps
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.
Hello there my name is Jack Sharps, Citizen Identification Number 97619 as required by the application process.It all starts along time ago with my father and grandfather. They have spent many hours teaching me to always respect all manners of authority. The first line they spoke each and every morning to me was, "Jack O boy you better respect law enforcement because they will be the one protecting your family and friends". Then one day on that faithful morning, was the day that changed it all for me.
The day started out as normal. Jack got up , and had his morning meal with his father and grandfather. The next thing he knew, this man, if you can even call him that, busted into Jack's house and tried to rob it.
As the man ran outside, an officer was driving by and Jack flagged him down. The officer went after the man. He soon got the man but from that day forward Jack wanted to follow in the officer's footsteps. He started trying to make himself strong so that he could have a career in law enforcement.
He never got the chance to join law enforcement as the 7 hour war started. As you could have expected law enforcement was no more after the 7 hour war.
That was until the civil protection came into being, Jack knew he had to join it to pay back the officer that saved him when he helped him out back then.
This is why he is asking to be let into the ranks so he can pay back the officer for all that he did.
Thank you for reviewing my application and I hope you would consider this.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Lawful
Helpful
Honest
Willingness to work as a team.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
What I am expecting is my character to have a hard time at first to learn all the stuff that is required of him.
My character would expect that he would be treated as a outsider in the CCA because he has just joined and would not know their way of doing things.
As my character builds on the lessons he learns from trying, he would start to feel more at home in the Civil Protection then he has felt in a long time.
He would also build on his skills and training and earn the respect of his superiors.
As the days go on he would build on the lessons of the days of his recruitment period.
He would start to get it down to reflex reactions, and start to do them automatically.
After that I expect my character to finally be able to act and move as a member of a civil protection team.
He would conform in the end to the full beliefs of the Union and become one of their many soldiers.
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.
The back story of my character is a person who wants to repay something he believes he owes to a officer from a long time ago. My character wanted to live up to his father and grandfather. He had no mother since she died during his birth. He spent his time learning about law enforcement and growing to respect it.
During the 7 hour war he tried to help people but had to run to the bunker to save himself as the area was blown up around him. As he got out of the bunker he was captured and taken to a holding area to be processed into a citizen. His first transfer was to the starting up city of city 85. This city was a test bed for the process of controlling citizen.
The streets were bathed in blood as some of the people of this city tried to take it back from the union. It did not work so well. He remembered a mass hanging in the park with over 200 citizens losing their life. Back in those days rations were disputed and fought over, sometimes violently.
He spent 6 months there before being moved to city 18 and he had to get used to that city where he saw how officers treated citizens there and that they were the nicest he had ever seen. He saw that their numbers were so few and wanted to join to help shape this new city into the safest city citizens could ever live in.
Now that he has been transferred to City 8 after spending time in City 18, he will keep up his goal of joining the civil protection, which he is looking forward to in the future. Well, he expects it to be very hard as first. He would need to learn the proper ways of his position. He might not get it at first, but he would try to learn it as fast as he could. He would spend a lot of energy on learning how to be the best civil protection officer that he can be.
He would try to build on past lessons as best that he could. He would always show up to do his job no matter how much he hated to do it. Because the job always has to be done no matter how bad it is. It would always be done to the best effort that he could do.
There will be some days that are pretty bad, and there will be some days that are pretty good. He's going to try and give it 110 percent everyday no matter what happens to him. He plans on spending the rest of his life as an officer and he plans on nothing happening to him anytime soon.
This will been the last job he plans on doing and he will be willing to give it his all, no matter what.

7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience? Well one of the most memorable RP experience has to be a raid into what is called D2 on the server. Three Five-man teams entered from 3 ways. ( Bridge , Subway , Low Level ). Within 5 mins the team in the subway was wiped out by a well placed bomb. It caved in the subway and crushed the team under a lot of rocks.
The team I was in was engaged around the pizza shop. After losing one man and 2 taking bullets in their arms and legs, we ended up dragging them into the building and setting up a fire line with the 2 downed team members using they're pistols while me and another officers used our MP7's. We RP'ed flipping over a table and pushing it in front of the counter. After 35 mins of S2M, ( Shoot to miss ) The other team showed up, and with their support removed the anti-citizen problem.
I was tasked with carrying the officer that was shot in the legs back to the Nexus and it was the long way to due to the entrance of the Nexus that had caved in 2 days beforehand.
The officer recovered and our team got the Long Fight Medal ( Survive a major firefight against the enemy ). As an 04 I loved taking part in that event, and always wishing for more like that.

IC Character Name: Saoul Gibson
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.
Reading into Saoul's Journal (on the Forums too) shows that he's very against the actions and motions of the rebel or Civilian community. He believes they're wasting their golden opportunity at living in what he views to be an amazing society. Furthermore, he is almost offended at the current actions of the lower recruits in the CCA, he does not believe them to be strict enough, a lot gets slid by and not investigated into. Apart from that, he idolizes the Officers. Easily intimidated by even a recruit, he spends a lot of his time just watching them and their actions.
With the recent attack on a City Administrator, he's gained a new respect for the Combine. He spent days in awe at their organization and fluency at the time. He wasn't too happy he was shot, but that's understandable and wants to look past that to join the group. Hoping to bring "good" to the city, he wants to be able to enforce the rule on a level that's accepted by the Combine. He spends lots of time documenting and interrupting any sort of violation around him, trying to always push his fellow Civilians to the "correct" path.
Saoul has spent all of his waking hours learning about the city and not building social interactions. Only with the transfer to City8 does he actually look towards the other Civilians as a source of learning. Every chance he gets, he is learning more and more about this new utopia and how it affects him.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Chaotic Good (If you played any D&D)
Loyal
Cold-hearted (No emotional ties)
Deviously Intelligent (A military engineer in his life [This will be awoken and triggered in RP soon {Current state: Forgotten in amnesia}])
Driven (Doesn't give up in his task, no matter the ramifications on himself)
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
What I expect is to change the game for the better, using the CCA status to bring Civilians back to rule, snuff out the Resistance and continue the Combine’s regime. Personally, it will give me something to structure my time around; currently I am out of school and have to mill around with no real purpose. So I am hoping having a “job” in this will keep me on a better schedule.
In character, I am hoping to further Saoul’s storyline down a more stable path that has an actual GOAL at the end. Civilian life doesn’t amount to much or go very far in the long run. Saoul wants to further his technological backdrop, but can’t in the current setting. He doesn’t much care for politics, but wants to be on the erupting edge of all new advancements in technology.
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.
Saoul Gibson did choose his name, but not where he awoke. He found himself in the City18 Terminal with a pocket full of tokens, a CID card and his briefcase. He walked around the City for days, staring in awe at the world around him while avoiding all sorts of Resistance and possible threats. He keeps his nose clean as much as he can and manipulates the other civilians for what he wants. He’s vehement consistent in his behavior of asking questions and acting on new information. Supporting the greater good whenever possible and eliminating any sort of disturbance. He’s indirectly been the cause of the amputation of five Civilians. Filling their heads with illusions of promise in the second District was his plan, it worked successfully. He did not verify his “kills”, however. He just let them go. He’s met dozens of people, followed every rule and reported many situations of “Resistance”, but fails to find any sort of reward for such. His mind gets away from him when he’s idle and begins to make up things to better understand how his world works. From a completely outside stand-point I would consider Saoul to be very defensive, shut off, and nervous. He spends almost all of his time alone and doesn’t interact for long periods of time.
He (Saoul) is of the technical mind, finding himself waiting and watching more than being on the forefront and acting. He spent most of him time in a custom lab before the War. Manipulating electricity, metal and bio-matter was his specialty. He was looking for a way to bond mechanics into a living subject, absolutely what the Combine has done with their synthetics. He likes to be away from the activity and craziness of the city. Currently in City8, Saoul resides in the top of the Abandoned Apartment Block working on bootlegged technology and performing his own experiments. He does his best to be an Overseer of the building, running out any sort of Resistance or social deviants.

IC Character Name: Kyle J. Robinson
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.
Kyle has always wanted to serve and protect the people from the criminals of his home since he was little. He had watch the news daily to see what horrorific acts the world commits and vowed to become a officer in order to prevent his hometown from becoming filled with what he saw. After losing all his friends and family it was hard for him to not feel lonely. He sought to join the Civil Protection to prevent others from losing their loved ones.
This became Kyle's goal, joining the Civil Protection, after seeing how well they have prevented crime throughout the world. He soon did everything he could to prevent criminals from rising in the city and reporting any suspiscous civilians to the Civil Protection, does whatever he can to help the Civil Protection.
He has lead a mostly loner life during the Universal Unions time on Earth. Not allowing any emotional ties to distract him from his goal of keeping the peace and protecting his home. His loyalty to the Union is what keeps him going along with his dream of join the Civil Protection to become closer to grasping peace. He will stop at nothing, even sell his own soul, to make it a reality.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Calm.
Cold-hearted. (Has no emotional ties.)
Frightenly Loyal.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I expect it to help me boost my RP experience, currently, my only expierence so far on CGHL2RP is just walking around as civilian, living in hobo camps, or talking to others. Wherever I go it's usually hard to find any RP, even just a small conversation, and with Civil Protection I hope to find more RP.
I want my character to expierence hard times learning, devote his life to help find his dream. I want my character to stop at nothing to achieve his goal which is his driving motivation to keep him going, and the Civil Protection can help him with that.
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.
Kyle, ever since a young age, had loyal to those that also dreamed for peace, for a world that had no crime, no sins, no hatred. He had worked hard during school to bring his grades up so he could become a police officer or a politician, thinking becoming either of these will help him in his dream. That was until the Combine arrived. During the first few years of the Combine's reign, his family had passed away due to associating themselves with the criminals of the world, leaving him heartbroken by the betrayal of his family. He had helped the Civil Protection in whatever way he could. From watching the other civilians to stalking suspicous civilians who he had thought dared to "break the peace", he had gone as far as willing to sell himself to the combine to bring about the destruction of crime. Those who had tried to tell him the combine were ruining the life of humanity had soon had a "meeting" with the Civil Protection. He done whatever he could with his limited power as a civilian to help Earth's protectors, and hasn't regret anything he has done to make up for his mistakes in his past, or the mistakes of others. The majority of his time that isn't reporting criminals had been resting in his apartment or convincing civilians that the Union were the thing that Earth needed. Kyle prefers the organized way of living the Union had giving them, thinking that it helps keep the population under control, and preventing diseases that plagued humanity before which with the Combine, can help be prevented.

IC Character Name: Marcus Alseto
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.
Marcus Alseto had always wanted to join something that provides peace and comfort to his kind of type. Something refering to finding a cure for cancer. He knew that asking citizens was a bigger source of getting that learning experience into himself but it's just like stepping stones but he was getting slow process. He couldn't find the resistance either... Strange matter of fact, he knew that they were all dead or still alive.
The resistance he thought were foolish, they didn't come up with there plans, they never seemed to recruit citizens and would always die during waivers or even starve to death, they too smelled bad. He turned to the Combine Civil Authority. He profoundly didn't get a job though back along time ago. He didn't think of doing anything but stay his way on living a citizen of his city. He still thought of thinking but nothing of a job came into his empty mind. His friends and parents were dead and he didn't have no one to speak to so he kept himself thinkful while sitting in his apartment, only getting lonely thoughts into his mind, urging to find something...
Now you say? Did he get the job? No he did not. Yet he still thinks on becoming a Civil Protection unit to further sustain the peaceful and comfort kept in to his mind. He saw what they did and he knew that there type was the right for his job so he furtherly recommends on becoming a CP. He one day signed a few papers handed out and sent them back... He only wants this job to... Well, to get more freedom and lead the right path to reaching peace and comfort within the city, he also doesn't have a apartment since he is low on tokens so he depends on getting accepted and making his Nexus base his home. He sometimes think that this 'light' will guide his way through the darkness. His only path was to face the CCA and try and get the job.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
--Loyal
--Non-Trouble Maker
--Trustful
--Cautiousness
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
Myself -- I want my roleplaying stage to gain higher when I join Combine Civil Authority, it's just like stepping stones. On almost every server I feel left out from roleplay, I can't really get that much PassiveRP nor ActionRP. I only been a CP once and I seem to fit that, I also noticed a lot of Passive and Action roleplay within it.
Character -- My character expects more crime to solve so that the city stays more Civil. He saw a lot of trouble happen in the city and it seemed all wrong to him. His only path was to join Civil Protection and help stop the crime within the city. Nothing can come in his way from stopping this achieving of his so he kept going and going.
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.
THIS IS FUCKING LONG. I'm very sorry but I am very creative in stories. Sorry for the interruption but lets read shall we?
Chapter 1 : The Melee Fight.
The year is 2016. Marcus isn't caught by Breens benefactors just yet. He is on a bridge fighting against a other anti-citizen who looks like a rebel yet he wears original clothing left by the 7-hour pre-war (Pre-War is before the 7-hour war.) Marcus hesitates with anger. "C'mon you lazy cunt!" The citizen throws a fist at Marcus's face while his second attack is to fist at his stomach. Marcus gets hit and coughs, grazed but still in good condition. Marcus smiles angrily and throws a boot at the mans stomach, seeming to make him stumble. Marcus then throws two fists at his face hard, making him stumble more at the edge of the bridge. But then the citizen bleeds out from the nose with fear in his eyes, he screams "Watch out!". Marcus looks to his side and sees two lights coming his way, the car screeches on the road as he throws himself off the bridge and...
Chapter 2 : The soft landing and yet, luckiness.
Well, lands on a train leading to City8 (This is where the soundtrack 'Ravenholm' was suppose to come on, put that aside for now.) The place is dark and it seems that this rain is making his Civil Apparel wet. He grabs onto a metal latch and opens the notch, then pushing himself into the train. He looks around and sees all the citizens sleeping but one lady wakes up, spotting Marcus. "Ho-How y-" "None of your business..." Marcus would never forget that fateful moment. A citizen passes him a suitcase filled with C8 Civil Apparel. "Here mate, ya' goin' to need this when you enter City 8. I don't want them tearin' you a new ass.... Heh." Marcus grabs the C8 suit and puts it on, exchanging his wet and torn Blue Civilian Jumpsuit. Leaving the leather jacket behind. He makes his way to the back and throws himself on a seat, whispering to himself "Just like openin' a fortune cookie with a lucky message inside... Or was it my guardian angel? I don't know my possibilities what so ever but my answer is, whatever..." He suddenly stops talking and dazes into sleep on the train.
Chapter 3 : The day after. (Shows more detail of the character)
Finally arriving in City8. Marcus Alseto seems to not usually hang out with much friends. He keeps stuff private to himself and doesn't say it to anyone except his local Civil Protection team. The dispatch seems to make him insane but he gets used to it. He seems to confisicate and report contraband to them also and seems to report in resistance activity held behind the walls of City8. He doesn't have enough tokens so he relies on going around homeless camps with other volunteers around there. With no luck joining the resistance because of there low resources and yet stupid plans, he tries to join Civil Protection to stop anti-citizens within the city so he can aid the citizens around City8, even help his partners within the team. He is ready on what his enviroment goes against him.
Prologue - Extra Chapter : Don't tell me this ain't happening...
Marcus Altonio wakes up, devasted by the booms and gunshots echoeing through his ears like he is entering a large room. He panics and looks out his window, noticing a dust wall of grey smoke. Explosives and guns have been shooting by these unknown soldiers in unknown kevlar. "What the fuck are they doing here? Is this the militia? Rebels?" He gets his leather jacket on and runs out of his apartment, bracing for impact on what happens to him. He sees a local terminal truck waiting for him, the bus driver screams. "Get the fuck in here lad before they blow your horses!" Finally getting in the bus, they escape with a few other folks. A baby cries in the back as his caretaker the mother hesitates. "Ssssshhhhhh.... It's going to be okay." while others ask questions "What's going on?!" and such. The day turns night as he sees the bus driver crash, getting beatened by bullets as blood sprays over the windshield. The bus stops in a ditch. Marcus walks up to the door as the level is flat on, keeping balance, he opens it up, prying it open with all his might. Finally doing so, the citizens spread into the woods while he... The Lone Folk as everyone calls him, seems to walk on a road devasted by explosions. A helicopter is heard in the distance... A few days pass and he is starving. A manmade hel- Or was it a alienmade hell? Can't tell the difference but he doesn't know what the fuck is going on! That is where Chapter 1 starts.
Prologue - Extra Chapter : His childhood.
This is how it started. One faithful morning, Marcus didn't bother looking at the calendar so he went outside to breathe in the fresh air. His dad was gone at the gas station. His dad said that he would arrive late in the night, "Tell the kid that I'll be back tonight!" "Yes, honey!". His dad seemed wrong, he never came back that night and his mother paniced the next day. "Where's your father, dear?" Marcus was anxious and gulped down a pile of cereal in his throat, then hesitating. "He said that he will be back tonight but we didn't see him..." Marcus looked down at his dog Jacobs and shrugged, Jacobs sealed his head to the side, interested and let out a bark. Bad news came in as the police said this. "I'm sorry but your husband was found dead in the gas station with multiple bullets left inside his body..." Marcus's mother gasped and held her mouth in sadness, she bursted into tears. The next day was rainy and yet Marcus watched his mother on the bed crying, Jacobs peeked over his side noticing it. Marcus felt guilty and whispered "I know how it feels momma'...", he went into his bedroom and hovered his blankets over himself while Jacobs slept on the side. Both hearing his mother cry. The few years have past, turning 17 eventually. His mother leaned down, hesitating. "We are low on money, we don't have enough food so I'll buy some when I am done at work, stay safe dear." She kissed Marcus on the forehead and left. Marcus wasn't very suprised home-a-lone. A few hours past and the same thing happened again! His mother wasn't back in a lot of hours and Marcus packed his stuff. He brang the car to life and said "She aint coming back, jump on the passenger seat Jacobs, we are leaving our community behind." He packed up a lot of food, supplies and gas canisters in the trunk and then started driving on the road leading to... West London.

IC Character Name:
Nashlonson McAstermentanimoe
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.
He wishes to become a Civil Protection officer because he only has experience in one thing, keeping the peace. He was a police officer for a short time, but learned many things, and how to deal with them. He learned that just because Earth has a new ruler, doesn't mean there is not any crime. He has witnessed several illegal acts, such as, a citizen passing the barrier into the other half of the city, and told an officer, he did not believe me because he couldn't find the citizen, and let it slide. It's simple things like that he looks out for, it's simple things like that, that must be justified. He is also always serious and alert on the job, and knows how to deal with individual citizens respectively.
He also strongly believes in all the good Breen and Our Benefactors can bring to the world and wishes to protect that, he understands that he is not there to protect the citizens but to protect Civil Order within the city. What lead up to the decision is when my character was being beat down by other citizens in the slums, when three Metropolitan officers came and helped him. Until he was moved to the city, and up to that moment, he was very fascinated and interested in the job and duties the officers carried out, and how they helped other citizens. With Nash knowing how helping these units could be, he wanted to become a part of them, and help others, how they helped him.
He wants to see what it is like to search a citizen for illegal contraband, and to guard a checkpoint. He thinks that making the rounds and clearing out an apartment would be really interesting and a new perspective on what it is like to be on the other side of the law. He wants to distribute rations and tell citizens to "Isolate". Another reason why he wants to join the CCA is because he wants to maintain Civil Order and defend it from resistance.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Loyal
Determined
Clever
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I think that I would really enjoy it because I like to keep things in order. I also think it would support my sense of command and being a part of a chain of command. I think that being an MPF would be a cool experience. I also believe that it would be a big change in the game and make it more interesting and different. It would also give me a different look in the world of half life 2. This also might give me even more of a challenge for me. I also like to feel like I have some power.
Fun, Serious at some moments, Saddening at some moments and maybe even scary. Fun in some moments such as in the MPFs reunite to talk and chat, maybe tell jokes or just tell stories with many twists and ends. Serious at the parts of arresting, inspections and patting down citizens these parts should be serious and ruthless so the MPFs have an image of serious business and no play. Scary at some points because my character is a cold hearted person who doesn’t care so having to see someone executed would be extremely boring for him.
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.
Nashlonson was born June 19, 1980. He was born to a family of immigrants from Ireland. When he was 2 years old, his family moved from Ireland to New York City. When he was 7 years old he was able to go to school. He excelled in history and gym classes. When he was 10 his family had accumulated enough money to move to a suburb in New Jersey. There he started school again, and encountered his first love in life, baseball. He was an A student all the way up to high school where he didn't make the baseball team freshman year. His grades began to drop off and he was hanging out with the wrong crowd. When he was a junior, he was kicked out from his high school for assaulting a teacher and fellow students in a fight at the cafeteria. After he was kicked out, he began working at miscellaneous jobs such as loading boxes into trucks, bike messenger, and taxi driving. When he was 18, he signed up for the United States military and joined the paratroopers. He found another thing he excelled at, discipline. When he graduated cadet school, he became an officer at boot camp and spent 3 years training troops. When America went to war with Afghanistan, he chose to be deployed along with his graduating class of soldiers. He spent 2 tours of duty serving in Afghanistan where he received a medal of honor for heroic actions when a roadside bomb went off. He then went in with the invading forces during the Iraq War in 2003. He spent the next year serving in Iraq. When the Portal Storms began, he went back to the United States and spent time working for a private security company in New York. In 2010, a month before the Combine invaded, some criminals killed his parents in New York over a loaf of bread and he decided that people were no longer good. He went overseas to England. When the Combine invaded, he spent the whole 7 hours sitting in his apartment, contemplating suicide. After the Combine secured Earth, he began helping with the reconstruction of the cities.

OOC name : Darkshifter98
IC character name: Mike Daring
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.
Mike Daring has wanted to join the Combine Civil authority ever since he was first moved to City 7. Where crime was a common thing and not many officers were around. On a daily basis, Mike would be beaten, mugged, or even throw down the stairs. Since living in City 7 Mike swore that some day he would be part of the Combine Civil Authority.
It seemed like everywhere he went there would be some kind of violation. But he would be too scared to infrom an officer or an officer would just be no where near by. So he would have to ignore the violation as best as he could. He almost never hangs out with other citizens because he's afraid he might get in trouble because of their actions.
About a year after the 7 hour war he started seeing more officers roaming the streets. He then found out that he could sign up for the Combine Civil authority. The main thing that got in his way was that he didn't have loyalist status. He tryed in city 7 and he tryed when he was transfered to city 18, but no luck. But he finally made got it when he was transferred to city 8.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Mike is always respectful towards authority. Whenever he talks to an officer he refers to them as "sir" or "Ma'am". He is also very brave. Whenever he encontered a lawless rebel he wouldn't just lay down and die. He wouldn't just let them beat him. No he would fight back and not stop until he was unconscious.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
Me and my character are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be a challenge. But that doesn't mean me and my character are going to be scared away easily. I'm mostly expecting to patrol around and arrest lawless citizens and help citizens with what they need help with. But I think that won't be all me and my charcter will be facing.
Me and my character will also expect the unexpected. Whenever and wherever it may be. It might also be frightning at times. Like breaching into an apartment of someone in possension of armed weaponry holding someone hostage or sweep a restricted area that might contain people in possesion of armed weapons and probably hiding in the shadows.
)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.
Mike was born in a place called "Washington" or he thinks thats what it was called. During the seven hour war he was hiding in an underground bunker. He doesn't remember who's bunker it was but he was hiding in it anyway. After a few hours a man in a blue jumpsuit came in and plopped a blue jumpsuit like his on the floor in front of me. Then quickly walked away before I could ask him what was going on. After putting on the jumpsuit he emerged from the bunker to find the town he once knew was reduced to a pile of smoking rubble. He remembers seeing a pack of three legged walking creatures which he later found out were called "Hunters". (We'll get to that later) For a while he lived in place called city 7. Where most people were confused and scared. But some people went around beating other people up for rations. I was sometimes those people but back then there weren't many officers. About a year after the war, Mike found out he could become an officer. But first he needed loyalist status. He tryed but he didn't get loyalist in city 7. One of the ways he tryed to get loyalist status was the Combine Civil Authority were trying to detain two men, I tackled one of them but before they knew I hit him I got caught in the crossfire, getting a bullet wound in my stomach. I passed out and woke up in the Nexus. Thats where an officer said he did surgery and removed the bullet from my stomach. But he said he would leave a scar that would never go away. Thats when I knew I had to become an officer. After a while Mike was put on a train to city 18. Where he lived for about two years meeting various people and officers. Some people were bad and some people were good. After getting settled into city 18, Mike tryed to do various good deeds to try to get loyalist status. But he was never noticed because of some of the crime that happened in city 18. Remember when I said that I would say when I know what a hunter was? Well one day they were passing out rations, after getting my ration, I headed down by the CWU building to eat the contents of my rations. While eating, I saw the creature run across the Plaza! Later, i asked an officer what it was he said it was a "Synth", but they call it a Hunter. For a while he lived in city 18 but then he was transfered to city 8. It was a nice place to go because it was located in Japan, so I got to meet a lot of new people. There, at city 8, is where he got loyalist status. Although some of his friends he met in city 18 didn't approve. He didn't care what they thought. People started treating him different but he just brushed them off. So once he got his loyalist status he went and got an application.

IC Character Name: Fred Kirk
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 wish to become apart of the Combine Civil Authority because I want to teach the citizens of city 8 what is wrong and what is right. I wanted to become part of the Combine Civil Authority for a while. I have always thought and known that the combine may look bad from what others say and yes that is sort of true but on the other hand they are doing the right thing! If there wasn't the combine around everything would be the same. There would still be crime. But now that the combine has taken over have you seen a lot of crime? Never because they inforce the rules and teach those people who don't know bad from good.
Everything that the Combine Civil Authoritys have done for me over the time of my life as Fred Kirk has been good sure it may include some stunsticks but that is just a reminder of what you shouldn't do! If i ever see somone who was doing civil offences to the Combine or the citizens i would get them as soon as i could! I would handle a situation like that just like this. I would walk up to the citizen and say "Stay where you are face the wall!" Tie them up to prevent being hurt or killed search them ask them name and citizen id then take them to the cells or just hit them with a stunstick to teach them a lesson and then after it's all done untie them and let them go.
I'v always been good to the Civil Authoritys i would report civil offences. I have only been tought a lesson by the Combine a couple times but it was for a good reason i got cought for selling without a permit only because i didn't have money and no food and was about to die so i was doing it to survive! I have always been just sitting around maybe opening up a ration and when i see somthing bad as fast as a lighting bolt i find a CP and tell them and they always get right on it.

I expect from the Combine Civil Authoritys trainning to help me get better and learn the basics of how to work the tools. I also expect a trained Civil Authority to be with me for a while to give me support when i need it.
I would like as a weapon a shotgun and the standard Civil Authority pistol. I think being apart of the Combine Civil Authoritys would be an amazing job i hope my co workers would be nice and respectfull to those who are there co workers
I expect this job to be fun at somtimes annoying with all the citizens asking you stuff. Maybe even a bit stressful at times on making the right call if there is a citizen in danger or doing somthing that could harm others. I know i would always be on guard safe and sound or in the middle of a war i would always stay on my feet and ready to spring into action to fight for the greater good of the world!

Fred got moved to City 18 which was fine for him the rations where good the people where friendly and the Civil Authoritys where nice (not when you did somthing bad). After a year of being in City 18 he got moved to a workers camp which was unknown. Fred had been knocked out to keep the rebels from finding out where the camp was. He was forced to work and live in one tiny house with the rest of the citizens. Breaking wood getting pushed around getting 5 minute weapon search. Then came that one day where Fred and some of his friends where placing metal plates on the ground then he heard a loud bang. He saw a Combine hunter helicopter fly over and it's right wing was all on fire. Most of us stared at it some just worked. Then out of the blue the heliopter started opening fire on the citizens. But not just the citizens even the Combine we all rushing around in panic some died most like Fred ran to cover. After the attack we got told we where being moved and the camp was getting shutdown. We where all so happy but Fred and his friends got assigned to diffrent citys. Fred Kirk was located to city 8. When Fred first got there he had no clue what to do he knew no one and had no job. So he wondered around for days eating what he would fine. Then he found a friend that helped him when he was hurt and Fred helped him when he was hurt.

IC Character Name:Alexander Weston
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.
Alexander Weston, a small town mechanic in the back-hills of Canada. Simple life, nothing special.
He had two kids, son and daughter and was left to care for them, as his wife passed away at birth of the son.
He was a gentle and caring father, and always made sure his children received the best education he could get.
When the portals came, riots started in his small town, his daughter split away from him and only left with his son to find out what was happening.
When the Universal Union used the portals to gain access to Earth, and established Cities all over the world they we're both taken together and later split up in different cities and never saw each other again. Alexander, a griefing father losing both his daughter, wife, and son with only one last hope of being reunited with his only family member he looked towards the Civil Protection. With eyes all over the city and information on every citizen he knew that his only way of gaining access to his Son was through the Civil Protection. Fresh off the train, he is a newly appointed Citizen of City 8. A fresh start, a new life, and with determination in his eyes. He brushed off his sleeves, put his suitcase down, and went to the nearest recruitment station.
He received an application, once then he found a pen and started reading it. He looked around, and noticed many others filling out applications, he felt almost as if he was fighting for this position within the Union. He rubbed the back of his neck, let out a long-drawn out sigh. He used his mouth to pop the cap off the pen and started filling it out.

Teamwork, constant communication, and always in radio contact always reporting in-and-out if it be his position or a suspicious activity. Cooperation, giving upmost respect for his superiors and obey them till the very end, no matter what task is at hand.
His background will be very respectable in his fellow officers eyes, and will be used to Unions advantage.
Always keeping the Union working, the backbone if you will. He will give his life to the Union. Determination is only the beginning trait he reveals. This is what it will be like for me and my 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.
Born July 4th, 1980. Alexander Weston has always been a lawful and trustworthy person before and after the war/invasion. He grew up in a fiercely religious family, even if his views we're different he kept them to himself, due to the fact that his parents would act irrational towards him. From past experiences like that, he trained himself to keep his mouth shut on certain situations, which became a great asset later on in life. He played no sports, had little to no friends, almost a loner type of child. He never meant any harm to anyone, he's never been in fights but that didn't mean he couldn't defend himself when the time would arise someday. He was always a loving person and cared for a lot of lives, no matter how much he was ignored. Before the war/invasion, being a mechanic in a small town he would always try to help you out if your car broke down. He would keep prices low and make you feel like family. He was a loving familyman, making sure his family had the essentials and teaching his kids right from wrong. After the portals came, and his family split apart, he was eagerly searching them out. When citizens we're relocated into Cities, he wants to use the Civil Protection to his advantage, and find the files of his children and locate them once again. Little does he know, he will be brainwashed into serving the Union and seeing his Children as scum for not following in his now more important footsteps. He will show no remorse as he climbs the ranks within the CCA, and all emotion will eventually be drained from him as soon he will be overcome by logical thinking and disregard emotion. This is the perspective on my emotional turned logical character.

This wasn't something he'd thought up consciously. It was bred into him by his father, who worked in an advertising agency. Jackson remembered going to his father's work, and seeing all the posters and billboards of the happiest people alive - the consumer. This since of false trust led him down many paths. He sometimes trusted the right people, and that made him a much better person. More often than not, however, he was lead into trouble.
The invasion happened when he was 17. His eyes marvelled at the luminescent colours of the portal storm that flashed brilliantly around him. He saw machines of war seemingly fall from the sky, and man fall from its once high place. It was luck that leads him to be alive, and to place trust in the CCA. He was being mugged at the time of the portal storm. Two men were brutally assaulting him, making wild and angry swipes at his head and chest. The combine burst down the street, and fired their drums in a mechanic and calloused way. The men stumbled and fell as a pool of blood dripped out of their skin. He, however, was untouched. The combine simply looked at him and ran away. He didn't know whether it was pity, remorse, or just plain luck that saved him. But as soon as the combine won the war, he knew that he wanted to be a part of that team that worked so fluidly and quickly to save his life.
He strived to join the CCA, as he placed his trust in their supreme ability to govern the world. The propaganda that surrounded him consistently only added fuel to his burning desire to join the CCA. He became an avid loyalist, cleaning the sidewalks, helping the CCA, and doing everything he could to be seen as a dependable citizen. Finally, after a few years of labouring, he was awarded with a loyalist armband. He was overwhelmed. He could finally become a part of the organisation he looked up to and trusted.
An underlying reason why he was joining the CCA was that Jackson had the desire to be accepted by a group. Jackson lived a mostly solitary life as a child, as his father's work often brought him all over the world. He found the feeling of moving to a new place and knowing no-one frightening. Jackson hated moving around, but his father had to keep working, and work was hard pressed to find. Jackson often tried to seek out groups to try and gain loyalty and trust within them. This is why he trusted people so easily - It was easier for him get trust if he trusted the other people in the first place.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
- Logical thinker: He will be given a large problem, and have the ability to break it down into smaller tasks and prioritise them in order to get the larger goal done.
- Dependable: If you ask him to do a task, he will do all in his ability to achieve it.
- Morally susceptible: He is like a mould that is able to be changed by the people around him. He will become as nice or as calloused as the people he has been with or is being with.
- Decisive: Despise being morally susceptible, he is able to thrive in leadership positions due to his quick reactions to all problems. He is not suited to a high command position, but is perfectly capable of positions that require leadership.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
(OCC - What I think)
I've played as the CCA on other server before it went under, so I think it’ll be like that. From what I've seen however, it's shaping up to be something fantastic. Formation, tactics and training are all something I find appealing, and so I can't wait to receive and hopefully one day gives training and improve tactics. I think I'll enjoy it a lot, from its comeradine to its strict systems it sounds extremely appealing for a man such as myself. I'm also doing it for my character. My character strives to be accepted. He wants that feeling that he is a part of a coherent team and that he can co-ordinate together. He doesn't feel he fits anywhere else.
(IC - What my char thinks)
It's my char's dream to be in the CCA. He understands that there might be challenges that await him, or that the CAA might not quite be what he expected, but he has chosen this direction and is willing to go headstrong into any challenges that wait. He expects a comeradine that he will find enjoyable - he likes being within and co-operating with a team. He also likes the strict discipline within the CCA. He knows that he will be rewarded for good work, and punished for bad work. Everything becomes a lot easier if he joins the CCA.
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.
Note: Having read 1) is presumed knowledge
Jackson had hoped to be a doctor when he had grown up. He had watched all the medical TV shows every day after school, and he had laughed gleefully as a child when he got his fake plastic doctor kit. These wishes never materialised as his life was turned around by the 7 hour war. He still wanted to be a doctor, as the methodical approach to helping people appealed to him greatly, but he would not be able to do this in the new world. Instead, he picked up what he could from citizens or the CCA. It became one of his primary hobbies - to collect medical knowledge and remember it.
Jackson was not a part of any social group - He didn't really conform to anything at all. He didn't even conform to the non-conformists. He was stuck in a limbo because of his father’s often unreliable working arrangements (See 1) for detail). He then tried to join any group he could. When that didn't work, he modelled himself off one group that struck him to the heart. He chose his groups carefully and concentrated hard to get into it. This worked to an extent, as he was solidifying his character and not becoming such a malleable person.
Jackson had made it to City 8 by chance. He was being re-located to C18 when the new re-location took place, meaning that he had two straight relocations in a row. He was tired and very hungry when he arrived to C8. To add on to this, he did not receive rations for two days due to a glitch in the distribution cycle mainframe. After recovering from his brief bout of hunger, he strove to help the CCA in this city strive.
He finally got his armband when he was assisting an officer transferring an unconscious man. The man was beating for civil disobedience, and while they were getting him into a position where they could lift him, Jackson offered to carry the man to wherever he needed to be carried. The officer quickly acknowledged his loyal deed and gave him the points required to receive a loyalist armband. Jackson was overjoyed at the prospect at finally being able to join Civil Protection, and after thanking the officer probably, he bounded off to prepare to apply for the CCA.
(Real in game experience)
His want to join the CCA solidified when he was assaulted by a man in the street with a sharp weapon, penetrating his stomach. The CCA came to the rescue and amputated the man, while giving Jackson medical attention in the medical bay. One of the RCT's struck his fancy especially. He helped Jackson recover well and made sure he was well attended. He soon staggered out of the hospital with the primary goal to join the CCA as soon as he was fit to.

7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience?
On an old HL2RP server in Australia, I was working with a combine patrol while we were being inspected by an Overwatch commander. While we were patrolling, we were ambushed by a rebel group. We fought for about 30 mins using RP, shots being traded both sides as we finally managed to withdraw with 2/5 casualties, and the overwatch commander unscathed. We were all commended for our fighting, and we held a funeral service for our casualties. One of the best RP days of my life.
8. Do you consider yourself a good listener?
This question could be perceived in two ways, so I'll clarify. I do listen well if someone is saying something, regardless if I have a different or opposite disposition towards it. However, I will not hesitate to voice my concerns if I have any. This does not mean I will challenge leadership IC. My char and even I have respect for the higher ups in the CCA and sometimes you must trust their judgement, and will always listen to what they have to say and acknowledge it at the least. I feel it is important to point out in this however that I may have differing views on how I should work IC or OCC (Not that I probably will, but...), and that listening to me is just as important as listening to someone else.

IC Character Name:
Ryan Peters
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.
Ryan wants to join the CCA because he is unhappy with the hand life has dealt him up to now. From as early as he could remember, he was an outcast and had only three friends, who all died in the Seven Hour War. After the Seven Hour War, Jason did as he asked by the CCA, first due to fear, but later out of respect. Ryan knew that the Combine did not need to be nice and give the people rations, and he was disgusted by the resistance.
Why the resistance could not understand, Ryan did not know. But the one thing Ryan did know is that he wanted to do whatever he could. Every time he was forced to relocate, he took the suitcase he lived out of and boarded the train. The first thing Ryan would do when entering the new city was to find the CCH and get his apartment, then he would walk around everywhere he was allowed and map out all the key points. By the end of the first day in the city, he knew where he could find the Ration terminal, the Train station when he was told to relocate, the Nexus, and the restricted areas.
Every city he was in, he kept his eye out for any way he could help. Once he was relocated from City 18 to City 45, he saw that they had openings for the Civil Workers Union, but he did not want to stay a citizen. He wanted to be part of the CCA. He looked into the CWU just in case the CCA did not have openings by the time the CWU closed their applications, but he was pleased when he saw that the CCA were going to open their applications. Ryan waited for the day that he could apply, and once he was able to, he went and applied straight away.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
For myself, I am hoping that the CCA will provide me with a new outlook on RP. I also am hoping that it will provide me with better RP experiences, as well as better RP skills. I want to better my RP and be able to take that and translate it to all other RP that I play (OCRP, and more specifically for my skills in the upcoming CRP.)
For John, I want him to be able to integrate himself into something. Not just something, but I want him to be able to help the CCA and do what he can. His outlook is to help the CCA in whatever facet he can, and that is what he wants to do. He knows that it will be greuling and that people will hate him for being part of the CCA, but he doesn't care as long as he can do what he can for the CCA.
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.
Before the Seven Hour War, Ryan was a field medic in the army. He was the go-to guy in his squad to get help if one of his teammates were injured or shot. He was regarded as one of the best field medics in combat, and was quickly promoted through the ranks. He loved his job, because he loved helping people and his country at the same time. He eventually got out of the army, and went on to get his RN and help in the hospital of his local town.
A few years later, the Seven Hour War happened. Ryan did his best to stay out of it, but was unable to. He decided that the best course of action was to not fight. After the Seven Hour War, he was not happy with the Combine. They destroyed his way of life, and the few people he called friends. He still feared the Combine, so he was complacent and did what they told him to do. After a while, he decided that the Combine did not have any reason to do what they were doing by keeping everyone alive by giving them rations. Once he came to that realization, he started to respect the CCA for what they were doing.
After he realized that the CCA were truly helping, a thought triggered in his head. After all the stress, rations, and breenwater, Ryan did not remember much from before the Seven Hour War. The things he did remember were that he was a person who helped others, but did not remember how. He remembered the best way to splint a broken limb, but not how he got the training. When he realized that the CCA were helping the citizens, he wanted to be part of that.
From that point on, Ryan wanted to do his part and was loyal to the Combine after that. He wanted to do his best to get into the CCA, no matter what he had to do. So he kept his eye out. In every city there seemed to be an overabundance of CCA so he stayed loyal, keeping his mind on the fact that one day he would be in a city that there were CCA applications open, and that he would get in.
Once he was relocated to City 45, he was happy. There seemed to be less CCA than other cities, and then he knew that he was going to be able to put his application in and hopefully get his dreams to come true and be part of the CCA. He went to the Nexus and noticed that an application cycle was just completed. He was not down due to this, he just told himself that the CCA would need more people soon. He noted that the CWU was taking applications, but did not apply, waiting for the CCA to open a new cycle for applications. That day came, and he went to put his application in.

IC Character Name:
Gary Denison.
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.
Gary started off in City 18, angered at Doctor Breen, but forced to show respect for the Union. (Obviously, if he was disrespectful, they would blow his brains out.) Gary spent the first few years of his new life working at a Water Treatment Plant. For 3 long, dragged-out years, he stood at a terminal, changing the flow of the pressure valves. It was the same routine for Gary, wake up, eat a ration, go to work, eat a nightly ration, and sleep.
His last day in City 18 was the most exciting, and dangerous, time of his life. An unknown man hacked into the Nexus's security, which shut down the power fields, letting exogens into the City. Many lives were lost that very day, and the remaining amount of citizens and Civil Protection members were transferred to different cities. Fortunately, Gary landed in City 45, where he currently strives to make a living to this very day.
Since then, Gary was the mid-point type of fellow, he became been neutral for the remaining amount of years. Gary needed more protection ever since the City 18 incident, nearly killing him. Gary decided to apply for the C.C.A., Gary doesn't want to be a mangled, messy corpse if City 45 has a related incident. Gary could also use a lot nicer food and beverages, he could use the strength after six years of practically starving to death, as well as the training with weaponry, close combat, and main patroling duties. Mainly medical training, after seeing the units and citizens die in the City 18 incident, who could have survived if they were medically assisted.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
Gary knows the Civil Authority is as tough as hell, he knows most to all of the Commanding units are strict. As well as the tough training. (Even though they're mainly breach training.) Gary knows he will and will always have to dedicate his life to the Union, but once again, he has nothing to lose after an extremely tough past before the Seven Hour War, but that is currently out of the question.
Gary has it in his head that Civil Protection are the protectors, not the terrible monsters. You might be asking Gary, "Gary, weren't you neutral?" Well, Gary is neutral because he still enjoys the help from resistance members, they offer him real beverages and food. He counts on both of them, but he never will become a resistance member, he's never a good liar, and he cannot defend himself if he is caught for questioning. Gary finds being a C.C.A. Unit a lot easier, and less likely to be caught, which is the exact reason why he chose the C.C.A..
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.
Gary was born in 1985 in Fort Collins, Colorado. Gary was born with a loving father, Jason Denison, and his lovely mother, Lauren Denison. Gary's first few years of life consisted on toys. Gary was home-schooled durng his preschool years, his family was poor, and could only afford small toys for him. Jason Denison worked as a 7th Grade Math teacher, and his mother was a waitress at 'Joe's Crab Shack'.
Sadly, during his kindergarten year, his mother died due to leukemia, which neither him, his father, or his mother were aware of. Fortunately, Gary took it fine, he knew his mother would tell him to move on, which is what he did. Unfortunately, Jason took it too hard, he started to become addicted to alcohol, which left Gary alone by himself.
During Gary's first grade year, he found a terrible suprise. His father shot himself with a gun. Gary grew depressed and confused afterwards, he moved to an orphanage, and the children in his classes made fun of him for being an orphan. Fort Collins was a cruel place for Gary through his school years, Gary never made friends, and ones who wanted to be his friend were the ones who were the general nuisance of the grade. Gary grew non-social, usually stating the wrong things at the wrong time. Gary couldn't understand why such kids would insult him. He was a kind child, and he was very cooperative if he was assigned a partner, he was always honest, he was very useful. The children still tourmented him, harrassed him, broke every bone in his body, words did hurt, a lot.
During 2004, the portal storms aroused. Gary was forced to move to an urban area, such as military-protected Denver, due to incredibly strange monster arriving in the rural areas. The first days of the portal storm involved major destruction. Bridges and buildings fell to the ground due to the major portal waves. Denver was still unsafe, the citizens were moved to a major World War Two bomb shelter during a portal wave. The portal waves could last months, continuous aftershocks is what led the city to rubble. The citizens set up camp in tents after the major destruction of Denver, Colorado. Gary spent 6 years in the same tent, being a socially-awkward civilian in the camp, still feeling unsafe even with the military standing guard at the borders of the city.
The year was eventually 2010, the combine nation eventually travelled from Xen to Earth, they eventually made it to Denver in the 2nd hour, taking control over it. Disaster struck as the building collapsed, strange flying objects (That kind of look like whales.) flew out of the portal. The alien race came upon Denver, as they forced relocation on citizens. Gary was transferred to City 18, where he begins his life story.

Back in ShitRP, I was a sole resisting man nick-named "Stick", for being as thin as one. Stick traveled around the slums of City 18, resting upon the old Italian restaurant, which had a visitor inside. Dying for food, I enter inside, the man states he hid a knife behind a brick in the wall. Foolishly, I take his word and slide the brick out, since he needed the knife. And then, 'WHAM!'. Stick was smashed with a crowbar, and held hostage in a hidden room in the restaurant. Stick was freaking out to the max as he was tied to a bed frame, with a skeleton and a corpse in the same room with him. Fortunately, Stick was able to cut the rope free, and climb over the fence barrier the crazy kidnapper created. Stick had to leave a man behind who was later thrown in with him, the man was murdered, and Stick escaped the madhouse. It was a GREAT deal of fun.

IC Character Name:
Ryan McDonald
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.
My character, Ryan McDonald, has a strong passion for the Universal Union, and wishes to act upon his feelings by aiding the Universal Union in any way possible. He has been inspired by the Combine, and has made many attempts to become trusted amongst them. My character began his journey for applying to the Combine Civil Authority by getting to know the civillian population, and the Civil Protection, watching their every move; trying to learn about them. Soon he took an interest in the requirements he had to fulfill in order to please the Union.
Shortly after arrival at City 8, my character began to act upon his passion, and started requesting duties from the Civil Workers Union and the local Civil Protection units in order to get his Loyalist points. These points eventually earned him a Loyalist Armband. After applying and being accepted into the Civil Workers Union, my character’s interest towards working alongside with the Civil Protection grew, and thus, he asked the local units for duties much more often. As Ryan was not always handed a duty to do, he did things out of his own will, some of which included: the distribution of request devices and items of Combine propoganda; to encourage Combine supremacy, and the distribution of Dr. Breen's Water.
Being a citizen of a city, my character has seen many things which he thought should be kept in better order, and saw much more anti-citizen activity than the Civil Protection could handle on their own. He reported all the crime he saw, and helped out as much as he could. Earning his Loyalist points only encouraged him to pursuing his set goals, as he did it for the good of the Union rather than a greed of the rewards. Soon after; he has decided to make the switch from the Civil Workers Union, to the Metro Police Force, and thus, my character applied. Ryan spent the next week doing the best he could to help the city, and getting to know the habits of each unit he came across, as he hoped that one day, he too, would work alongside them.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
My character is very trustworthy, and very loyal to the causes that he believes in, which is the Universal Union. He believes in the greater good, and peace, thus displaying his purity. He is honest, as he does not lie, no matter what the cause may be, and is very respectful, even to those who do not show the same to him.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
Throughout the career in the Combine Civil Authority, my character will experience many changes; physically, mentally, and strategically, and the outcomes of all three will make my character what he is truly meant to become. My character will struggle for the first while, as he would have to learn all of the procedures, codes, and how to properly use his assigned equipment. After a while, my character will display knowledge in the areas where he once struggled, and will help those who struggle in the areas as well. My character’s perfectionist-like lifestyle will come in useful in this career, as keeping the city in order would require much effort, the rewards of which; would be pleasing. My character will understand the importance of the ranking structure, and approach each rank with the required formality, no matter what the occasion. He will follow orders, without question, if they are given by authorised personnel.
Personally, I think that being a part of the Combine Civil Authority is a great honour, and will display it through my character, by being very noble and trying to prove my character useful to the Universal Union. I, myself, know the importance of ranking structures, and know how to approach each rank with the required formality. I have been in many military-styled roleplay servers in the past, and have achieved high ranks through my performance; thus I know the respect that comes to, and for, each rank. I think being a part of the Combine Civil Authority would have its challenges, which I plan to overcome through Half Life 2 knowledge. I think my biggest struggle would be learning all the codes, but I think that if I put my mind to it; it wouldn't take me long to learn 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.
Ryan McDonald grew up in a suburban city located within a 50 kilometre distance of the city of Toronto, in Canada. He was born in the year of 1984, and was raised by his birth parents with a high amount of discipline. His parents were convinced that it was the only way to raise a successful child. The child grew, and attended elementary school, followed by high school, which is where he developed an interest, and excelled, in mechanics, as well as other technology and manufacturing classes. He completed highschool, and was on the Honour Roll.
Ryan pursued his interests, and went to college to study civil engineering and architecture, both of which he got a diploma for. He began his career by working as a civil engineer at many construction sites, and assisted in the creation of blueprints and plans for several projects, most of which included the construction of housing, and small business buildings. He progressed in his career through his years, and soon started his own construction business, which involved matters such as: building, interior designing, and renovation. The business went well, but eventually died down, due to a lack of customers; as his competitors won most of them over.The man shut down the business, and went back to being a contractor for major building companies, but was rarely hired.
In the year of 2015, long after the 2012 “end of the world” conspiracy, the planet faced a new challenge, one that it had couldn’t fight off: the Combine. The Seven Hour War showed humanity the superiority of the Universal Union, as the population was placed into the designated, remaining, major complexes on the planet. Ryan was inspired by the Combine, and hoped that one day, he too, could work alongside them. Being stationed in City 45; Ryan studied the ways of the Combine, and tried to learn of their ways, following his own passion for them. After his relocation to City 18, he began accumulating ‘Loyalist Points’, which were points given to the citizens worthy of them to display their loyalty to the Universal Union. He didn’t manage to gain many, as he was mainly focused on acquiring enough currency for a business permit.
After being relocated once more, to City 8, Ryan began to prosper. He began to ask the local Civil Protection units if he could be of any assistance, seeking jobs that would prove not only his loyalty, but be of use to the city as well. Ryan opened his own shop, naming it “McDonald’s”, and offered a large variety of Universal Union branded goods. He ran this shop for a couple of days; prospering, and decided to sell the space to another citizen who was planning to open his own shop.
Shortly after receiving his Loyalist Armband, Ryan sought out the chance to join the Civil Workers Union, and was accepted into the workforce. Being a part of such an elite citizen group, Ryan became more accepted within the Civil Protection, and was given more respect and attention than the other citizens. Being passionate towards the Universal Union and thriving to help the Combine cause, Ryan didn’t see being a part of the Civil Workers Union as enough, and so; decided to submit an application.

IC Character Name: Dmitri Matrienko
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.
Dmitri is a socialist, through and through. He was one of the few "happy" members of the Russian Communist party, and stayed a proud communist even after the fall of the Berlin Wall. He saw Russia's transformation to capitalism as a betrayal of the country that he loved, and he wrote several books about it, all of which failed, leaving him destitute.
With the coming of the Combine, however, Dmitri saw their rule as the rebirth of socialism. He could not be happier; he was back in his element. He considered himself a loyalist and never left home with his request device, which he never hesitated to use. He also joined up with the CWU as an alternative to the CCA until the time when he is able to.
Life, however, was not as perfect as it was back in the Soviet Union. Crime is rampant, and anti-citizenry is on the rise. Dmitri is beginning to realize that his request device can't arrest people, and being a CWU member was much better. It was then that he decided that the CCA needed an extra hand, now more than ever. It wasn't just his choice, it was his duty.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Determined, arrogant, short-tempered, respectful of authority
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I think Dmitri would really enjoy being a Civil Protector. He has lived under their ever-benevolent gaze for some time, and he has them to thank for everything in his life. As a CP unit, he will show a determined attitude towards all crimes, little or small. Some might even consider he moral strictness radical, others might even call him sadistic. Either way, he will see to it that justice is served and his thoughts redeemed.
As for me, I think that this will be a new experience for me. I have never been a CP before, and I plan to see if I can make a difference in this server. I have seen many CPs, and they all impress me as being wonderful RPers, and I would be honored to serve among them. Through my experience of many Serious HL2RP servers, I've built up a clear definition of discipline, and intend to keep it in all events. Although respecting my superiors may not be a big problem, learning the codes might. That can always be worked out though.
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.
Dmitri Matrienko was born in Pskov, Russia, on April 12, 1981. Both his parents were members of the Communist Party, and this rubbed off on him. He joined many youth organizations, and he gained the respects of many of the organizers, who took note of his zeal. He soon moved up through the ranks, and gained more and more respect among his peers. Then, the Berlin Wall fell, as did Dmitri's life. With the disbandment of the Communist Party, Dmitri lost everything he had worked so hard for, especially his respect. His parents took to homeschooling him, fearing capitalist indoctrination in the public schools. Upon turning 18, he left his home in Pskov and enrolled at Moscow University. There, he joined several underground ultra nationalist organizations, but later quit, realizing that they weren't going to change anything. Dmitri went on to major in journalism and apply to several newspapers, all of which later fired him after he published pro-communist/anti-government articles. Dmitri then tried his luck at writing novels. This also failed, and eventually got him blacklisted from many well-paying jobs. Broken and destitute, he turned to vodka to escape.
Then, the apocalypse came. Dmitri was waiting at the Rizhskaya metro station when the sound of explosions came down from the subway entrance, followed by throngs of panicking citizens. He ran into a near by bathroom and locked the door behind him. He stayed there for some time, until the constant sounds of gunfire and the quake of explosions subsided. He emerged from the metro to see a razed and war-torn ruin. For days he wandered the ruins, scavenging food and supplies. He eventually found a group of other survivors, who accepted him into their colony. He struggled with them for several months until a low drone could be heard above the din of electric generators. From over the tops of burnt out houses came a combine dropship, which then landed in front of the bewildered survivors. From out of the drop ship came humanoid beings, clad in kevlar, armored face-masks, and wielding machine guns. The survivors, including Dmitri, were taken to a processing center, where they were assigned numbers and cities. Dmtri was sent to City 18. Even before stepping off the train, he was already amazed at the architecture of the city. He was genuinely impressed by the towering walls and advanced technology of the Combine. Upon arriving, he immediately felt at ease, like he was home again. Then, Dmitri got his first ration. He was at home! Socialism had won, and he was still alive to see it happen!

IC Character Name:
Nathaniel X. Patasky
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.
After taking shit from the Resistance for a long time, organized riots, uncivil protests, smuggling, all of this pushed into his face, he decided to become a Loyalist, thus, bringing himself to find out that in his heart, he wishes to stop all the uncivilized actions that come to the face of your common citizen.
But how did it come to this? He was twenty-three when the 7-Hour-War came up to rise, after the 7-Hour-War, he got transferred to City 8, a city that replaced the old world Tokyo, he became a water smuggler, smuggling nothing but water and giving it to citizens for free, no Combine had ever noticed this, ever. It came to the Resistance leaders attention that he was useless, he kicked Nathaniel out of group, thus making him a bum. He finally found hope when an officer helped him through trouble, taking guide from the CCA and eventually becoming a loyalist.
This lead him to where he is now, at the Application form station, writing down his application for what appears to a job to work as an officer in the Combine Civil Authority, tired of being looked at as a tool, or as something that could be walked all over on like a piece of carpet on the front doorstep, he wants to become something bigger, and now this is his chance.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy) Lawful, Shrouded, Silent, Suspicious
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character? It is expected to be a ground-breaking journey for him, the character I play is already shrouded with enough mystery from both sides that it would come to a complete surprise to the people that know him on the Citizen side, that he would be joined the Civil Protection.
Personally, I think that it would be a great adventure full of lawful duties and a hard job full of cold justice, nothing will be better than enforcing the law for all of the good people of City 8.
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. He was only 24 years old when he became a Loyalist, after being the lap-dog for the Resistance, working in the smuggling business for things like water, he decided it was time to take a new direction in his journey, he became what he thought was the enemy, a Citizen of the Universal Union.
Nathaniel Xavier Patasky had enough of being the Resistance "slave", being treated like nothing, when he finally came to his senses and decided to join up with the Loyalist, soon finding himself to want to join the Combine Civil Authority.

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.
One day when my character who was still young and the 7 hour war has ended and he couldn't fathom what had happened in that 7 hours his father was attacked by a random citizen, My father being a weak man and only a worker he had no experience with fighting what so ever. Before this i saw a few characters known as the CCA going around but he didn't know what they were until he saw them approach the area where his father was getting mugged. These two officers walked up and detained the citizen and brought him to an area I've only known as the place where people go to when they do bad things.
Later on in life around my Teenage years I saw many things that the CCA have done. I've seen them save lives and protect us with a harsh hand through most of my life and I've become powerfully interested in becoming one of them. I've noticed that they are very secretive about everything they do and they have many ranks within the CCA, I've also noticed they use a lot of codes.
From then on my character wanted to join the CCA to be able to do things with his own life. He never did anything with his life until he one day decided to rat out a contraband dealer to the CCA Officers. After that was all done he received his first two loyalist points, His feeling of accomplishment he needed more. He soon learned that he had to acquire more points to apply to combine so he set out to gather his next points. Soon after he had collected his points Jeremy loved the feeling of busting criminals inside City 8 and wanted to finally apply to the CCA to help protect the citizens and serve under the CCA rule.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Responsible, Organized, Intelligent, Persistent
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I think my character joining the CCA with be a very great experience for him. It will harden him and make him take orders and understand what it is like to be in a position that isn't the lowest for him. He will also learn how to give orders as well. My character will also be able to finally use his sense of authority that he has always had as a child and was never got to use it because he was never a bigger person.
For me i think being in the CCA will be a great RP experience within the server being able to give commands and also take commands as a CCA officer. I also it will be a very better way for me to get into my character even more so then as a citizen because in most RP servers I've been on I play as the commanding role as officer or other law classes.
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.
My Character was never a strong person. He was always at the bottom of the food chain in his family and in his social groups. Although he wasn't a strong person he always had a commanding attitude, he always tried to get above someone to get a higher power and have some kind of authority of others, his persistence was beyond many others. During his 19 year on the earth many years after the combine taken over the earth he became very interested in the CCA. He studied them from a far and always tried to hear the prosecutions of citizens. Then one day he told two Officers about a crime and he soon became a loyalist and then researched the CCA as much as he can so he can soon apply to become a CCA officer.

OOC Name: The Krusader
IC Character Name: Alexxander Cordell
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.
Before the Combine occupation, the world has always been a dark place. Alexxander has always seen great injustices in the world, such as murder, vandalism, and theft. Many of the criminals escaped the grasp of authority, and ran free in the streets until an other opportunity to strike arrised. Something felt missing inside him, but he did not know what.
When Alexxander first arrived at City 8, he witnessed a young woman being attacked by a shady man. Moments later he witnessed something that changed his view of the Civil Protection at the cities: a Civil Protection unit arrived on scene, and saved the young woman from the offender. The offender was detained for quite some time, and the woman went free with hardly any harm caused. Alexxander knew he needed the power to enforce the law with no mercy, but he didn't know how to get it.
Alexxander was always a Loyalist from the begining. He always wandered around aimlessly in hopes that he would find something that would satisfy his need to maintain order. A few days passed and, after several contraband turn-ins and rebel reports, he recieved his Loyalist Armband. Yet, he still felt as though it wasn't good enough. He needed to become a Civil Protection unit to satisfy his obsession to uphold the law.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Honest
Cooperative
Loyal
Lawful
Dedicated
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 think that the Combine Civil Authority will be a really good RP experience for me. Not that being a citizen isn't a great RP experience, but I suspect that the Combine Civil Authority will be better. To be honest, I've only been a Civil Protection on one other server, and that was a week before it shut down. But, I do feel there will be challenges, which are great.
For My Character: In Alexxander's eyes, becoming a Combine Civil Authority will be the greatest and most important thing that has ever happened to him. He also feels that the emptiness he's carried throughout his life will finally be fufilled. He knows that he will finally be able to maintain the order more than he ever has before. He himself would be able to punish the unlawful and protect those who cannot protect themselves.
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.
Alexxander was born in the United States on the day September 22, 1983, in Detroit. As a child he saw the gang fights, burglaries and murders. Alexxander never understood the injustices and perverted lusts of the world. He respected the police men in his city, as when they came all came to order, most of the times. His mother was raped and killed at the age age 7. The death shook his whole family, the repercussions of it shook harder onto Alexxander. Alexxander’s father was not a loving figure, never giving him love or support. His father was a stranger to him. With no parental figure to look up, he was plunged in confusion by the fumes of chaos of the city.
His teenage years were full of trauma from gang violence everywhere he went, from his neighborhood to his school. All the gangs were the same to him: idiotic, violent, and unlawful and all deserved one thing, justice. He was never able to stop them, as he was never so strong and they were always in their packs, but was always quick to set out and snitch. Perhaps he told too much, but he didn’t think so, at least not yet. Alexxander had once told of a burglary a gang member had commited, the man was sent to juvenile hall. The night after the verdict, his house was set on fire. He now had a second personal reason to hate the lawless.
In his later years, Alexxander opened a pawn shop to make some money. He reported anyone that would try to sell or buy illegal objects and substances. After a few months his store became a target for many gangs. One night, Alexxander's store was struck by a drive by, and he was taken to the emergency room. When he asked what happened, he was told that his store was shot up and was closed down permanently. A few years later the Combine had invaded Earth, Alexxander was colonized and sent to an unknown place called City 8.
Upon his arrival to City 8, Alexxander noticed how peaceful it was there. Alexxander lusted after the order that the Combine held. He would do anything within his power to see this order withheld. His first days in City 8 consisted of searching for contraband and reporting anti-civil behavior. Doing so led to Alexxander receiving his Loyalist Armband. There was one issue in Alexxander's eyes: the Civil Protection were never around when he needed them most. After talking with Civil Protection for a while they gave him his request device. Alexxander always carried around that request device with him, carrying it sometimes as if it were a gun. He knew that no one would try to mess with him if he had it. Even with the Loyalist Armband and the Request Device, Alexxander was still unable to quench his thirst for maintaining order. He knew what he had to do to satisfy his inner obsession, he had to become one of them. He had to join the Combine Civil Authority.

OOC Name: China Cat Sunflower
IC Character Name: Ari 'Stone' Black
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.
Ari has wanted to be a police man ever since he was a child. He has always looked up to law enforcement officers with utmost respect. That is because both of his parents were police officers. So he has always wanted to be a officer but instead pursued a career in medicine to please his parents.
Ari is very strict and likes things done not only correctly but efficiently as well. When Ari asks for help or gets help from citizens they don't respect him like he wants them too and it is hard for him to get things done to his standards if the citizens are not willing to work as hard as he does. When Ari sees crime and citizens disobeying officers it shocks him. He feels that the respect some citizens have for the units is horrendous and believes that if he was a CCA he would make them behave better. Ari believes that he is the best candidate for a new recruit and has been thinking about joining ever since he got into the CWU.
Then when everyone got transferred from city 18 to city 8, the CWU changed... First the Operator just disappeared, Ari figured that soon there will be a new operator and everything would go back to normal. But slowly more and more of the CWU were either getting transferred, being killed or joining the CCA. Finally Ari decided that this would be the perfect time to finally fulfill his dreams of being a officer. With other CWU members eventually joining the CCA, Ari decided that he would be the next CWU member to leave and join the CCA.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Smart,Brave,Trustworthy,Careful,Obedient,Honest,Dedicated,Persevering,Neat,Revengeful,
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 am expecting being in the CCA to be a good fun way to role play on the server. As a CCA I want to role play to the best of my ability, I also want to serve the union and have fun. but I also want to help make the server better for others by reducing minges and trying to teach those in need how to role play. If that doesn't work I will at least handle them the best I can so they are not a distraction/mess with other role players. I have also been a part of the CCA on two other servers. (Slidefuse/Shitrp and TnB)
For my character it is a way for him to serve the union further than he has as a CWU. They have done a lot for him and he thinks he needs to start REALLY helping the benefactors. He wants to help keep the streets clean by treating wounded people and units and keeping the citizens isolated and under control. He hopes to join the CCA not for the benefits that will be given to him, but for truly helping the cause.
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.
Ari Black was born in Austin, Texas in the year 1989 to his parents, Tom Black and Sammy Black. Both of his parents worked as police officers. They always were very strict and expected not only their requests done immediately but also done perfectly. Ari at a young age to respect all people of authority and to listen to all their instructions no matter what they are, regardless of how absurd they may seem to him. He has always looked up to his parents for being officers and has always wanted to follow their footsteps.
Although he had always dreamed of being an officer, he was a very studious child because of his parents and they pushed him to pursue a degree in medicine. Finally in 2013 Ari finished medical school at the top of his class. He then decided to get a job as a general practitioner, instead of specializing. Finally out of school and with a job and tons of money in debt, Ari began to work to pay it off. Then in 2015 the Seven hour war started.
During the seven hour war, Ari was at work the whole time attempting to help anybody he could, but the hospitals were crowded and there was little they could do. Once the combine arrived at the hospital after the war, they brought him to city 45. Although he was freaked out at first and could not find his parents. (As they were killed in the war but Ari does not know this.) Ari soon decided that they were just like new law enforcement officers. He knew they were a lot stricter, but he realized that they would let him help catch criminals. Ari was ecstatic and quickly received his loyalist armband. Happy about his new armband Ari found out that with that armband he could apply to join the Civil Workers Union. Ari quickly saw that if he could join it he would be allowed to practice medicine and decided that his skills would go to waste if he didn't join it. So he went to apply and soon got inducted into the CWU as a doctor.

(This is the third time I have applied and I am a good RP'er so I hope I get in... I will be a great addition to the CCA! ;) )
Bullet's Note: Tired of seeing players with the same old backstory (related to or is a police officer, ex-military, and/or extremely strict and hardass) because they have generally bad character development (I hate to see hardass recruits and I don't generally tolerate it.). Also, you last applied....July 12, 2011, 04:02:11 PM....16 days is five days shorter than three weeks (21 days).
Well I made backstory for when he joined the CWU so I don't really want to change it I'd have to make my guy a completely different person and thats not good rp. But my character is a hardass as a CWU. But I guess I will change it since it is a big leap forward for him. Also I thought that since the second batch ended it meant I could reapply. But okay just wait then? :)

OOC Name:Michael Norris
IC Character Name:Kevin Jacobs
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.
My character wishes to join the combine civil authority because of a very strong hate for anarchy and revolt. He wants to join to make sure that City 18 can remain as peaceful as possible for as long as possible. He believes that by joining the CCA, he can help achieve this end through hard work.
What leads my character to have these feelings was a disaster that happened in his previous city, City 4. Before he had just been a loyalist trying to do his small part for the city and live a normal life. But then disaster struck when a resistance group formed and ruined the city he called home. This gave him a huge distaste for all resistance attempts and anything that could weaken the CCA's hold on the cities and bring about anarchy.
Because of this, my character plans to join the CCA and try to help make sure that City 18 remains untouched from the ravages of the resistance groups. He has made this his life's goal and this application is the first step to achieving it.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
My character is lawful, intelligent, dedicated, and organized. Some of his worse traits are he tends to have trouble viewing issues through others shoes and is quick to judge others on small mistakes.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
So for me, in the beginning I expect to be in training and be listening to my superiors and letting them handle anything bigger than a contraband check or loitering. I also expect to be mainly watching the streets of the city while I’m new and not doing anything really out of the ordinary except for assisting my superiors in JWs or rations. I also expect an increased level of respect from the citizens of the city, and to and extent, my superiors, although I don't expect the royal treatment from them still. I plan on starting as more of a citizen in a suit, still sensitive to the citizens around me and their troubles, and only slowly becoming cold enough to hand out beatings, and after a longer time, amputations. I expect to be held to a higher expectation than I was as a citizen as well, with far more severe consequences for messing up either ooc or ic. Finally, I expect to be able to further enhance role-play for both myself and others as such an iconic Half Life 2 figure.
IC he expects it to be an incredible responsibility. He believes he is up to the task but knows months if not years of hard training are going to be required of him before he is ready for any major tasks. He knows he will have to respect his superiors and accept orders from them unquestioningly or risk Permanent Off World Assignment or even amputation. He also knows he is going to have to get used to being in charge of the citizen class he once was a part of. Also, he expects some privaleges held for the CCA members above the citizens, but realize these come with the cost of being hated, feared, and excluded from the people he used to know well. He is nervous about the apparent lost of feelings in the CCA members he has seen. He recognizes all these challenges and accepts them for the sake of his goal to maintain order.
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.
Kevin was born on May 23, 1979. He had a typical childhood growing up on the east side of America, with the only real unique thing being that he was diagnosed with I gifted IQ early in childhood, and so was given some special treatment. He went to college for programming and was working for a video game company when the 7 hour war. After the 7 hour was over, he and his family were placed in city 4. He didn’t have a wife, but he remained as close as possible with his two brothers and parents while in City 4. He became a loyalist so he could try and make life for him and his family as good as possible. He achieved a workers permit and opened up a shop that sold CCA approved books and water. Life went on for him and his family as normal as possible until 2016.
In the year 2016, a large group of citizens formed a group called the brotherhood. This group was dedicated to trying to relieve the city by prying the CCA’s hold off. At first the citizens not members of the group were undisturbed as nothing truly shaking was being done by the Brotherhood because they didn’t have the supplies. But then one day, a group of cps were ambushed and killed from the shadows, and all of their equipment was taken. Suddenly, the CCA took drastic action. In order to encourage compliance with the swift elimination of the Brotherhood, living conditions were drastically lowered for all citizens until it was destroyed. All citizen run shops were closed, the already few rations were further limited, and beatings and amputations were handed out for the slightest crimes. Kevin was doing his best to hold his family together. To make matters worse, one of his brothers joined the Brotherhood and Kevin had to try to keep his family going. Inevitably, the Brotherhood was destroyed, and all of the members were captured and killed. Unfortunately, they learned that Kevin’s brother had left and not been reported by the family. Kevin and his family were taken into custody. As punishment for their non-compliance, they were all beaten within an inch of their lives. Only Kevin and his brother Frank were healthy enough to survive the beatings, the stress on his parents’ bodies was too much, and they both died hours after.
Kevin and Frank decided to transfer to another city. After being approved they started making arrangements to move to their new home, City 18. Then the final disaster struck. While going through the final procedure to leaving, a contraband book was found in Frank’s possession. It was a book that had belonged to their parents and when the officer tried to remove it from his possession, Frank lost it and lunged at the officer. Frank was killed on the spot. The distraught Kevin finally made it to City 18. He spent weeks in his own bubble, interacting only minimally with other people, and not pursuing any activity at all. Finally he decided that in remembrance of his family, he would make sure nothing like City 4 would ever happen again. He became a loyalist, doing his best to help the CCA find and stop any anti-civil actions. Finally, he decides to apply to join the CCA. His life’s goal now is to preserve peace in his new home at all costs. He will give anything to achieve this goal.

7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience?
I would say my most memorable RP experience happened on serious fallout 3 role-play server. The reason it was the most memorable was I was fresh off of Dark RP servers and non-serious RP servers, and it was my first good rp experience off of them. What happened was a woman assaulted a man in a tavern, and a man in power armor grabbed her and attempted to shove her into the cellar and keep her there. Suddenly, three men confronted him and told him he wasn’t the law and to let her go. A fight commenced and the patrons used tools from around the tavern to fight the man with power armor. Eventually after fighting for a while, the man in power armor yielded, deciding it wasn’t worth the fight, and after some cross words to the men, left. The entire seen from start to finish was beautifully executed using chat and /me’s. This was when I realized the kind of fun experience you can have if you use the play to lose system instead of just rolling or minge fighting out the story. That is why this is my most memorable experience so far.

IC Character Name: Sean Gedrin
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. He wants to do something with his life, He wants to increase safety of others from potential threats of anti-citizens and other assorted threats... OOCLY, I have always been a die-hard fan of half life, And the civil protection always seemed cool in a sort of way, Just the thought of being part of this faceless society where you are so insignificant, where you are a number in an ocean of others seems cool to me.Storywise, The bio pretty much sums it up. He is searching for meaning and a job, He has come to the conclusion that fighting them is the wrong way to live, and that contributing to society has more benefits. Also in my oppinion it can add a lot more roleplay fun to it, more options and more scenarios, Amputations, Taking orders, Going on missions, Searches, Beatings, As masochistic as it may or not sound, It sounds fun to me.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy) Sean, standing at 6'3" and 235lbs looks very intimidating, He is well spoken and cunning. Sean never sees it necessary to lie and always follows orders.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?Not too hard for Sean,The mental shift will be nothing, he had always been a loyalist. He has never been one to chase down people, then beat them but he is willing to do whatever it takes to help society. He has no issues following orders and is willing to do almost anything if he is instructed to. Aside from that Sean expects it to be relatively easy. He has always taken orders from superiors, teachers, CPs, Parents, it's noting new to him. However, the physical toll and activity might be a little much for him, He isn't the most active guy out there, but he is not weak, not at all. Fortunatley adaptation is a strongpoint of his psyche and body. All in all he will fit in quite well and fit the mold for the perfect CAA.
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. Sean Gedrin was born in Glasgow, Scotland June 13, 1994. His parents moved to a small Russian border town in the Ukraine in 1998, when he was just 4 due to his father's job, He adapted well to the society and customs there. Sean lived a happy life, up until May 16, 2003 A few weeks before his ninth birthday, It was also the day the seven hour war occurred. Sean's family stayed in their house, suspecting an invasion from the west they hunkered down. When the flags were raised, and the citidel fell from the sky in the distance, they knew it was not a human invasion. Sean stayed up that night, Looking up at the pristine sky and wondering what was up there, Looking at the horizon and seeing that giant skyscraper, in the far distance, He wondered what it was, His mind could not process what was going on. Sean drifted off to sleep, The next morning his parents woke him up and got him ready for school, They flicked on the TV and noticed something amiss, It was the news channel, They never watch the news. They tried to change the channel but they were all the same, Just a mans face talking in a loop. They sat down to watch it, The man was saying that "Our benefactors" have come to "rescue us from ourselves" The man went on to say that they had placed him in charge of city 18, where the Russian city of Shahkty used to be His parents did not let him go to school that day, Instead they drove to the local police station to try to get some info, All of the regular deputies and sheriffs were gone, instead all of the men were wearing black and had their faces covered in gas masks. The father got out of the car and approached one of the men, The man held his hand out and said "halt" the father stopped in his tracks, "Purpose for visit" crackled the mans synthetic voice, The father demanded to know what happened, The man replied with "Occupation of earth, Combine orders" The father, looked surprised, at the same time angry, The man in black told Sean's father to leave, then pulled a piece of steel compound from out of his belt, It had orange conductive strips on the top, It was about 25 inches long. The man squeezed the handle, there was a quick "click noise" followed by an arc of electricity that coiled between the conductive strips, Sean's dad walked to the car and drove home. The next day the same masked people came knocking at the door, at 5am, They were taken in A large vehicle with 8 wheels to the local train station, Then they boarded the train bound to "City 18" On the train everyone was given A flier with information, directions, facilities, and such. Sean dozed off, before he knew it he was there. At the train station in City 18, they saw more men with masks, Embedded in the wall was a robot, handing all sorts of packaged goods. The men in black instructed the family to get in line, single file and one at a time. They did, sean went first. "NAME" Crackled the robot, "Sean Gedrin" said the boy, "AGE" said the robot, Sean looked back at his parents, who told him to answer it. Sean looked back and said "...Eight..." nervously, The robots various pointy arms turned inward, there was noises, smoke and blue light emitting from its various aperatures. It presented Sean with a small package, Airtight and very dense, with the words OPEN on it, The robot said "SEAN GEDRIN, AGE:8 CITIZEN IDENTIFICATION #30049" One of the men in black instructed Sean to move, Sean sat on a metal bench next to an Asian man, Sean, being the curious child he is looked at him and said "whats your name" the man glanced at him, saying nothing. His parents, with their own packages walked up to Sean and told him its time to go, they left, A guard outside of the door told them to check their packages, They contained a hard plastic card, with various numbers and symbols, along with a denim jumpsuit, the guard demanded to see the cards, He looked at each card carefully, entering some text onto a small device, The guard pointed to a medium sized building and said "Those apartments, Room 242" He wrote it down on a small piece of paper and handed it to the father, the family left. Sean lived happily with his family of three in apartment 242, It was not a bad way to live. The year is 2016, and Sean is 21 years of age, He is turning 22 on June 13, the next day. Every year on your birthday you are supposed to go to the robot at the train station, to get an updated card and a new jumpsuit, Sometimes people get relocated, but that is rare. He woke up, had a bowl of cereal, got in his jumpsuit, He knew if he did not go to the robot he would get in trouble with the law, He always did love his parents, He was unsure if he would be relocated but just in case he gave his mom and dad a hug and bid farewell. Now at the train station, he walked up to the robot, "NAME" said the robot "Sean Gedrin" replied Sean. "AGE" the robot crackled "22" Sean replied. "SUBJECT: SEAN GEDRIN, AGE: 22 RELOCATION STATUS: POSITIVE" Sean never heard that last part, The machine printed a small piece of paper, Sean grabbed it. A Metro Cop told him to board the train, Sean did. He was inbound to city 8. The train stopped in what was south korea. When the train stopped, people poured out like water, A Civil Protection fired into the air with his pistol and yelled "DISPERSE!" The crowd silenced quickly, They were split up and instructed to take separate ships, Sean boarded Ship 342, a large rig inbound to japan, City 8. When he exited the ship he saw a citadel like back in city 18. A metrocop with a strange helmet design told him to get up against the wall, Sean did, The guard patted him down and asked for CID, Sean gave him his card, the cop said "clean" and told Sean he could go. Sean did not know what to do, he wandered the streets until he came across a Combine recruitment poster, Sean, being the borderline loyalist that he is, applied.

IC Character Name:
Jean Sabotier
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.
Jean Sabotier is an intellectual and has a "Breen" mentality. He sees the Universal Union as the next step in humanity's evolution, and that those who wish to stop it are closed-minded and barbaristic. Jean also wishes to continue his research, research that he was sure the UU would not want to let go.
Before the 7 hour war, Jean was employed at a government facility near Caen, conducting pharmaceutical research. As an organic chemist, Jean had access to many formulas, from painkillers all the way up to several nerve gases. Even back then, he was an elitist. He had little tolerance for simpler minds and would refuse to even date someone who was or had someone in their family who was disabled.
After the 7 hour war, and when Jean was being relocated, he was struck by the scientific advancement of the Universal Union. Whether it was the high walls, the towering Citadel, or the kevlar clad Civil Protection officers in high-tech suits, Jean was convinced that human perfection would come in his time, and at the hands of the UU. He is now determined to help in any way he can.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Serious, elitist, cold, intellectual, anti-social
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
For Jean, he is expecting to join NOVA after basic training. He expects to not only learn medicine in NOVA, but also continue his pharmaceutical research. He hopes that he will not only be able to use his knowledge of pharmaceuticals to help fellow CCA agents, but also to aid them in their fight to keep the citizens in line. He had had access to several truth drugs in his line of work, and he was hoping to improve the practicality of it.
As for me, well, I was hoping for this to be a new experience for me. I've never been in the CCA, and I was hoping to try it out, to see what it really was like. I also want to try and at least have some voice in minge disposal. As both a CWU and citizen, the most I was able to do was throw my request device at them. I want to see if I can make a difference in this server.
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.
Jean Sabotier was born in Bern, Switzerland, on October 21, 1978. Bern was where young Jean spent he childhood, and his parents made sure that he took the opportunity to get a quality education. From an early age, Jean was a talented mathematician, gaining access to many TAG groups. By the time he entered high school, he discovered his love of science, especially chemistry. Upon graduating from high school, Jean was bombarded by scholarships from many major universities across Europe. He decided to go with the University of Caen, moving to France and even becoming a French citizen. In Caen, he studied his favorite subject, chemistry. In particular, he became very interested in organic chemistry and pharmaceuticals. Upon graduating from Caen with a degree in organic chemistry, Jean joined several pharmacies, but he never really enjoyed the work. Jean always wanted to work on something new, not be a lowly "peddler" of medicine. Eventually, he got his dream wish. He was recruited by the French government to work in a pharmaceutical research facility located in southern France, near the Pyrenees Mountains. Here, he did the work that he loved so much, experimenting and creating new medicines. However, He eventually tired of pharmaceutical work, and felt that he wanted something more exciting. It was then that he took up work in another government facility, this one on the other side of the country, in Alsace-Lorraine. This facility wasn't a pharmaceutical facility, but was in fact a military storage facility, housing many different chemical agents, including nerve gasses. This job was very exciting for Jean, as he had only read about these nerve gasses, and had never been able to handle them before. This was where he worked until the 7 hour war.
When the Portal Storm started, Jean was on a vacation in the Pyrenees. At first, the mistook the explosions for thunder, until the ground started to shake. Both he and the local villagers thought that there was an earthquake, so he and several others took shelter in basements for several hours until they stopped. After emerging he turned on the news to find....nothing! At first he thought that the television towers may have been effected, until he saw a plume of smoke coming from the direction of Toulouse. Being that the phones were not working, he decided to try and live in the Pyrenees until his country's infrastructure could be reestablished. He didn't have to wait long though. A few months later, a synth dropship landed in his village and he and the others were taken to what once was Toulouse for prossessing. Even in Toulouse, though, there was already significant construction of Combine technology. Jean was very impressed at this, and his tensions began to ease as he was given his number and his city. He was then relocated to City 8 in Tokyo, where he currently lives today, hoping to join the CCA and make a difference.

IC Character Name: Jack Simon
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.
Jack likes to consider himself a realist, he believes that the ruling force is overall going to be the ones who appear on top, which is why he served as an MI6 operative before the 7 hour war (auth accepted). He also just doesn't feel that rebellion is his style. He prefers pristine suits and shaven faces than the rugged and disorganized mentality of a rebel. To show his worth he acts as an informant, going undercover in resistance territory to gain as much information as possible, with complete deniability if caught, as he is not officially listed with connections to the Combine.
He has already assisted in uncovering the various resistance groups of City 45, and creating trust with resistance figures through slum bars and pubs causing them to reveal more information than they might have been willing to, information which is then directly reported without them knowing.
Now that he has moved to City 18, he finds less and less work. The city is too quiet, even the slums are dead, and there is little to report. He reckons that he has shown where his loyalties lie, and that he can now work on the front line as a Civil Protection officer and really show his worth. He believes his previous affiliations and training will benefit towards the agenda of the Civil Authority.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Lawful, trustworthy, calm, charming, dependable, dutiful, fair, friendly, intelligent, mature, meticulous.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
Carrying out routine orders set down by high command on a daily basis until certain situations arise or different orders are issued. For example, patrol plaza UNTIL order to guard D2 and so on. If emergency situations occur, then you react through what you have been trained and follow any further orders you are given.
Paramilitary style and structure, address higher ups as "sir" or "ma'am". Become familiar with certain terminology and tactics. Pretty same-old same-old Civil Protection. As for Jack, he will see it as another job, working for MI6 or the Combine, it doesn't matter. It will feed his authoritarian complex and perhaps change him into a harsher individual, now that there is no red tape to get through. So this citizen is giving him hassle? Now he can hit him without having to file a huge 100 page report about it. This will not waver his charm and politeness however. He'll just shoot and hit people politely.
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.
Jack was raised in a high class family in London, England. His Father owned a chain of the most powerful banks in Europe, and his Mother was a well known fashion designer. Jack’s home life was un-troubled, but he was never spoilt and was brought up by his parents to be polite, and to not take his comfortable lifestyle for granted. Due to his expensive grammar school education, Jack learnt many languages, and was commended by his teachers for being able to soak up information and put it into practice. Soon after grammar school, he attended Oxford University, where he set his sights on working for MI6. He wasn’t kidding himself; he knew that working for MI6 wasn’t going to be like the James Bond movies he enjoyed. But he felt that it would present him a challenge and give him a chance to explore the world. And so he did…
His work took him around the globe, from Spain to Japan, from Ireland to America. He enjoyed his job, it was what he did best and it gave him a strong sense of purpose and belonging in the world. Due to the constant movement, Jack never held down a relationship, a part from the odd female he encountered on his travels. When the Combine invaded, Jack cut his ties with MI6 and set up a hasty residence in what would now be known as City 45, and waited. The citizenship process took hold and Jack lost nearly all of his possessions; aside from a pair of designer sunglasses and an empty lighter. After performing some intelligence work for the Civil Authority, he was eventually moved to City 18. Which leaves us where we are now, Jack pushing on ahead with a somewhat optimistic attitude, confusing those around him as to his constant positiveness. What they don't know, is that Jack has an ace up his sleeve.

Weeeell, my characther wishes to join the CCA because he can relate to their way of thinking and he has always looked up to them in a way of as in they were watching over everyone. For quite a while he's been thinking of this, reporting crimes at any time he sees them happen. If someone asks him to do something illegal, he reports it. If he sees it, he reports it obviously.
I dont have much more to say about it. He has these hypes about how he would interact with something at a certain time when he sees something. He's quite observant so he sees this, also he's never had any real relations to people before the seven hour war or after. He's been that lone, quiet person. This can relate to the CCA where that is a good trait, however he has had some few friends in his life, and those friends were real friends, those you stick to.
He's always thought of them as a guarding angel in an odd way, as I stated earlier and he's had dreams about being that one person, feeling he actually is a part of something great that has great meaning. To be something for once. Not just that quiet person in the back who rarely says something. I dont have much more to say, I'm out of stuff to say.

IC Character Name: Uris Hogan
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.
Upon arriving in the City, Uris was immediately mugged two times in a row – This, and Uris’ earlier history of living in a community where everybody helped each other, made him want to help set things right. He toured the city, and witnessed many different crimes but was unable to do anything due to his lack of authority. Whenever he looked for a member of the Combine Civil Authority, none were available. Eventually, he tried to purchase a request device but he was unable to due to sky-high prices from those offering to sell one to him. Resigned to being unable to help the city, he purchased an apartment, kept the door locked and kept his head down, leaving only for food and water when a ration distribution cycle was announced.
The combination of these events in close succession effectively adjusted his views and made him Loyalist in perspective. The wrong-doers needed stopping, and the Civil Protection clearly needed help. Having learned about the Loyalist Point program from a man in the ration distribution line, Uris slowly stopped merely sticking in his apartment and started to become proactive in the community. He requested jobs from different members of the Combine Civil Authority and set about them with a determination. His logic was that the less the members of the Civil Protection had to deal with mundane tasks, the more time they would have to deal with criminals.
Eventually, through hard work Uris became part of the Loyalists and earned his first ration from the Program soon after. This served as additional positive reinforcement, and Uris continued to work at improving the city under CP supervision. Using the time that he had to spare, Uris set up his own shop – another step towards improving the community, he felt. Unfortunately, thieves constantly harassed him, and this furthered the perspective that in his mind, the Civil Protection members were the ‘good guys’, the enforcers of justice.
After a while in the Loyalist Program, it became increasingly infuriating for Uris to report crimes, but to have a very late response time from the Combine Civil Authority - After all, here were people ruining the utopian society he had put so much work and effort into. Eventually, Uris decided to put in an application to join the Combine Civil Authority. There wasn't much to lose on his part as during his dedication to improving the city, he didn't accumulate many friends, just colleagues. The benefits from his view point were, in contrast, outstanding. If he were to be accepted, Uris could finally deal with all the negative influences, and ultimately work for the good of society. Because of these reasons, Uris decided to file an application to the Combine Civil Authority, and help keep the city he had come to love in order.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
My character is above all, loyal and determined. Once he takes a cause he sticks to it, particularly when there is an encouraging rewards system to start things out. He is also very righteous, in that he will always defend his cause to the last. His other traits, which are somewhat less important in his persona is that he is obedient, watchful, righteous, diligent, confident and ambitious. These last traits all come from Uris' quest to better his position to a degree from which he can take action against criminals.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I am expecting to find the CCA a military/police themed group that is organized and somewhat team building. I like military themed RPs - part of which stems from the fact that I am part of the Air Cadets in real life. Generally working together with others also contributes to the enjoyability of RP and the interest. The fact that recruits can only leave the Nexus with another member of the CCA offers this for at least the first week or so. The strategy in coordinating different teams of people is another point of interest for me - there is nothing quite like the feeling of cracking down on a group of people.
The opportunities for the expansion of my character’s persona in the CCA are quite promising as well. The potential directions of growth include corruption, pity for the less fortunate, sadism, and more. All of the options make for very interesting role play. The main trait that I intend to incorporate into Uris is austere professionalism, at least for the first few weeks. After that – who knows? It all comes down to what occurs in game.
Above all else, I hope to find the Combine Civil Authority highly enjoyable. After all, that's the reason we do things for, when it comes to leisure.
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.
Uris Hogan was born on June 3, 1993, and was raised in the area of Alert Bay, British Columbia, Canada. Alert Bay was a relatively small island, with a correspondingly small airport and amount of things to do, particularly as a single child, without any siblings. His parents - the father the owner of a boat dealership and the mother a housewife come teacher – raised Uris in a very strict environment. Every morning, past the age of 6, he would wake up, make his bed and clean his room. Only then, would he be allowed to eat breakfast. After that, his time was spent attending home school, eating, sleeping, and occasionally learning to sail.
This environment, sufficiently removed from the concepts of ‘working for yourself,’ and ‘independence from society’ brought up Uris to be a team player, and one who helps out the community, often disregarding personal loss or gain. Forwarding ahead many years, this perspective helped Uris become a Loyalist in point of view.
Uris was given a job as a basic secretary in his father’s dealership on June 18, 2007, being made to learn about profit, floats, business plans and all the other concepts that entailed running a business. Despite the fact that the dealership was run for a profit, much of it revolved around helping others, and so, Uris’ family didn’t race towards a large fortune. However, Uris still accumulated much knowledge, both in this, and whatever subjects his mother decided to teach him. Much of this came from a natural talent for learning quickly.
By 2012, Uris was making a steady living fishing and helping out around the community. He didn’t strive for glory or wealth, but was happy just helping out around the community. The variety of odd jobs Uris did over time led to the development of a wide skill set. He polished boots, painted fences, groomed dogs, and even learned the basics of piloting light aircraft. With no small part due to Uris’ efforts, the society of Alert Bay had become one where everybody did right by each other, as well as one where there was practically zero crime.
2015 found Uris’ life was going relatively smoothly, and he stood to inherit the family boat dealership from his father. However, all of the future plans that Uris had made to that point were shattered at the outbreak and eventual conclusion of the Seven Hour War. He was transferred to the cities without much further ado, but he maintained the moral essentials of his youth - Despite several muggings upon his arrival.
After eventually learning about the Loyalty Program, Uris started aiding the Combine Civil Authority wherever possible. By his logic, the City was just like his community on a larger scale - working towards the Greater Good would surely improve prosperity overall, and make sure everyone was looked after.
After a while, Uris managed to raise the required funds to start an official business. Getting the permit was rather easy, given that he had already accumulated a large amount of Loyalty Points. The principles of his business, “Hogan’s Supplies”, centered around making miniscule amounts of profit, while providing supplies to people so that they could improve their own lives. He also believed in distributing as many copies of ‘Zen of the Union’ and request devices as possible, reasoning that these goods would reduce crime, and encourage people to work for the society. What little profit Uris gained, he invested and loaned to other people, so that they could further their own lives, and the community in turn.
After numerous thefts from his shop, and an increasingly late response time from the Civil Protection, Uris decided that he had helped enough people financially and that it was time to work towards the Greater Good by cracking down on crime. Within days of this decision, he submitted an application to the Combine Civil Authority.

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.
My character always wanted to be in the law enforcement carreer before the seven hour war due to all the crime in the city she lived in. During the war she saw how big and powerful the Combine were and how they beat the entire planet in just 7 hours. She was amazed how the combine enslaved races across multiple parrallel universes so easily and wanted to be apart of it. She was also intrested in their technology and wanted to learn as much as she could about it. As a Citizen, it's hard to get close to any Combine technology.
She believes that everything the combine do is for the good of the people and the rebels should be stopped. Everyday she sees gangs of people in the streets causing a commotion and trying to rebel against the combine. She feels intimidated by gangs ever since the time a group of people used her unlocked apartment to hide from Civil Protection. She wants to become part of the CCA to help stop this sort of thing from happening to other people.
Jessica's brother was murdered by a rebel because Jessica found out about the rebel and was about to report him. The rebel held her brother at gunpoint right infront of her as a bribe. Jessica did report the rebel, however, the rebel was never caught. This really angered her and really made her want to join the CCA so she could help prevent this sort of thing from happening again.
So basically she wants to put a stop to the gangs intimidateing the Citizens and stop the dangerous rebels.
Her friend also joined the CCA. She lost contact with him after doing so and inside, she hopes that she will be able to talk to him again. But she knows this is unlikely.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
My character is extremly lawful, she will not run when extremly late and she will do exactly what a CP says without fault.
She is also extremly confident and won't fret to tell a criminal to stop what he is doing.
Many other characters see Jessica to be a bit of a "Bitch" or a "Snitch" because she will report any crime no matter how petty.
Jessica is also a little snobby; she thinks she is above the rest of the citizens, although she does know her place when someone of higher authority comes around.
Jessica is a solemn person. Seeing bodies or blood will not bother her or put her off of what she is doing.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
What my character thinks
My character expects the training to be extremly tough and thorough. My character also expects the life of a CP to be thrilling. She also wants it to be about stopping crime and helping the Universal Union keep control of Earth. She expects the work to be hard and the nights to be long but she also expects better meals in turn.
What I think
I've been a cop on many RP servers and I really like it. I think becoming a CP member will be a completely different experience. I expect it to be being like a teacher in some ways. E.g, the pupils sucking up to a teacher or in this case Loyalists sucking up to a CP. I expect it to be frustrating at times but I know I'll be able to do it. I also expect it to be fun in other ways like when a Citizen gets a female CP's gender wrong.
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.
Jessica grew up in a large city with very high crime rates. After her aunt was raped, Jessica and her family moved out to the country side to escape the crime. Ever since all the crime and her aunt getting raped, Jessica has wanted to stop criminals from doing crime. as she was growing up, she was taught to think that all those who do not follow the law are below her.
Jessica did well in school and later went to collage to study various subjects such as law, phycology, science and many others. After what she had been taught she was looking into going into a Law Enforcement career. In the country side, there wasn't a lot of need for police officers, so she and her family decided to go and live back in the city. Before starting her career, she decided to enroll in further education at university.
About halfway through university, the portal storms began. The government said there is nothing to worry about. Despite all the panic and destruction they caused, Jessica took the government's word for it and got on with her life. Not a lot of time later, the seven hour war began.
Massive ships surrounded the university. Everyone panicked and ran. Jessica stood in Awe. She was amazed by all these gigantic ships hovering high above the buildings. Then the streets got flooded with flying blades with a red light(manhacks). Jessica stared at them and wondered if this new alien life came in peace. She was startled when one of the strange blades slid right though the middle of a man just a few feet in front of her. She ran faster than she had ever ran before.
When she got to her street, she saw that the massive ships were shooting at anything that moved. She quickly ran inside her house to see her mother and father looking out of the window terrified. Her mother ran up to her in relief and hugged her. One of the manhacks flew through the window, slicing Jessica's dad's arm. Jessica grabbed her 2 year old brother and ran with the rest of her family to a nearby manhole.
They thought that they were safe in the sewers but they soon got flooded with Manhacks. They ran until they reached a room with a thick metal door. They all ran inside but then realised it could only be closed from the outside. Jessica's father volunteered to close the door. The rest of the family detested the idea and wouldn't let him. He tricked them into letting him close the door. He pulled the switch and the door slid closed.Because you could still hear though the door, Jessica and her mother cried as they heard him scream in pain.
Hours later after sobbing, everything above their heads went silent. Someone else hiding in the sewers was made aware of them hiding in the room and opened the door for them. They emerged on the surface once again to be rounded up by combine soldiers.They were sent to live in City 17.
A few years later, Jessica's mother became ill with some sort of dementia and later died. Jessica and her brother was then relocated to City 4 where she became a loyalist This is where her brother was murdered. She was then relocated to City 18 and that's where we are today.

When Michael was running from the combine a combine looked him straight in the eye and shoved him to the ground. Michael liked that power. He knew he wanted to be just like them. Powerful and strong like the others. He knew he would start out small by only helping the combine.
Michael was walking around doing his job as a loyalist. Then a bunch of rebels jumped him. They claimed that since he was a loyalist,he had betrayed humanity. They proceeded to shoot him in both legs and arms. Then they threw him in the streets to die. Michael was found by a Civil protection officer a few minutes after.He gave them a description of the rebels and they arrested them all and shot them to death.Michael was the kind of guy that wanted power like that.

He thought it LOOKED like a ship but it didn't really. Michael was feeling pretty scared and bad about how he failed to protect the billionaire and how he would probably lose his job. He decided he had to tell people about this. Michael ran to the security guard company where he worked and told them about it. They told him he was nuts that's when the combine invaded and gunned down his bosses. Michael almost crapped himself when he saw the ships again. When Michael was 23 the combine invaded,at first Michael tried to stop them,then he met a bunch of rebels that beat him senseless for claiming he was loyal to the combine. Michael wasn't loyal to the combine at the time,but soon he went to the combine when they were enlisting Civil protection troops,he wanted to join but they wouldn't let him until he proved himself. He went around disguised as resistance member,he joined a bunch of rebel factions and took them down one by one.The rebels all ganged up on him after they found this out but Michael quickly went to the combine and they killed every rebel that was real.They thanked him for his work and decided to give him a chance as a loyalist.When Micheal's parents were killed from anti-citizens,Michael knew he had to take them all down.Michael asked the Civil protection for a gun but they denied his request.So he used his bare fists to beat the crap out of every resistance member he found.When Michael went to city 8 the City Administrator's were very nice to him.

IC Character Name: Benjamin Mask
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. Benjamin Mask was one to uphold the law and always was. He used to be a vigilante before the war. Bringing down well known criminals was just what he was good at. His real job was as a bouncer for a local club in Chicago.
Ben was a victim of a fierce mugging in City Ninety Nine. At the age of twenty he was assaulted by 3 armed African American men armed with makeshift weaponry and armor. His savior- A Civil Protection officer, an veteran of many ration cycles and raids. The Men where killed where they stood, as Mask was lying there with a bloodied nose and multiple stab wounds and heavy bruising.
Ben was immediately taken to the local hospital where he went into a Coma where he forget most of his past. After 3 months of Comatose he awoke. Yet he didn't awake in City Ninety Nine, he woke up in City Eighteen. He was given a new CID Number and a new life. A life as a loyalist, one that could eventually become apart of the CCA and uphold the law and return the favor.

I expect the Combine Civil Authority to be a life time journey. I expect for my character it will be a returning of a favor. For me I expect it to be a nice roleplaying experience that I will remember for years to come. I also expect for it to be more then just a nice roleplaying experience but more of an opening, to make myself a better roleplayer, I know I'm not the best roleplayer and this is what I need to become better.
Besides the traditional things I stated above, I expect it to be fun and something new. I'm eager to learn how things run on this server. Seeing how I've always been in the Civil Protection on all servers I've been on, this one is different and Im ready to learn how they take the Civil Protection faction. I'm hoping that this will be more of a roleplaying skill based on promotions and not just time on the server.
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.
Benjamin Mask was born in Thurso, Scotland on January Sixth 1990. He was raised as a farm hand for his Fathers sprawling lands of cattle. During his years as a Farmhand he became more and more angry with the rising crime in Scotland and the United Kingdom as a whole. As the years churned on and he graduated High School, Mask went to Law Enforcement School. But not as a Police Officer, but more of a bodyguard for Actors and Actresses or VIP's.
When the war finally broke out Mask was completely unaware of what was going on. He was currently guarding the entrance to a very expensive club when the gunfire broke out. Scared witless Mask was ordered to take shelter in a near by bomb shelter. In doing so Mask was able to live through the war. After the war Mask was in City Ninety Nine. In City Ninety Nine he was as loyal to his new leaders as he was to the British parliament. He knew what they where doing was constricting and stupid but it was for the greater good. But now the leaders arnt always bickering and split into three different parties. He was glad to know that they could actually make rules just like that. But there was always those people who disagreed and would use their fists or more to show it. As a known loyalist in Ninety Nine Mask made a few enemies in his days in city Ninety Nine, including a group of individuals who called themselves The Liberators.
While walking to his Apartment Complex, Mask was ambushed and assaulted by 3 Armed African American males. After suffering from many stab wounds and heavy bruising a patrol officer finally came by and killed all 3 men on the spot. Mask was rushed to the hospital where he was treated but fell into a Coma. For three months he laid there completely still besides the calm breathing pattern he had. The IV dripping every second and a Feeding Tube sending food to his stomach, while Colonostraphy bags dealt with his bladder problems. Yet he somehow woke up in City Eighteen. City Ninety Nine was put to the torch after an armed uprising by The Liberators and those who where still loyal evacuated and moved to City Eighteen.
After Waking up in a completely new area of the world, Mask staggered his way out of the Hospital building and onto the street. He was ready to start a new life, with a new CID Number and no more enemies. He left City Ninety Nine with empty pockets and a clear conscience with no quarrel with anyone. But he was a changed man now, with a conscience telling him to seek revenge, and to return the favor of that Officer. Mask had no Idea where to start or where to go but he knew that he needed to rebuild and regain his loyalty to the CCA, and finally Apply.

OOC Name:
[R.G] Matty
IC Character Name:
John Butcher
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.
John wishes to join the CCA for multiple reasons, he respects the CCA for what they do and the commitment that they make to make Earth a better place. This being said however the main reason he wishes to join the CCA is because of his background. Being a strong believer in what distinguishes man from the animals, he believes that men are organised, self committed, and obeying. However animals on the other hand are self obsessed, scavengers, and disorganised.
John was led to join the CCA also because of his hatred of the resistance, any form of resistance and even the idea of resistance. The perfect way to show his commitment was to join the CCA. John gets confused even by the idea of resistance and believes heavily in The Combine Ideologies in the beliefs that civilization must be upheld with the use of lethal force and if someone acts uncivilized then they must be dealt with accordingly.
Mr. Butcher was then led to join the CCA because of also, the admiration that he has for the CCA for making the world a better place, just watching the CCA on the streets, in action, makes John wonder “imagine how they feel, knowing that what they’re doing is saving all our sorry asses”. Because of his recent grant of loyalist status, John believes it is a step in the right direction if he was to apply for the position of a CCA CP. Not just because of the respect he has for them, but also because of the admiration he has for them.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (E.g., Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Lawful,
Trustworthy,
Intelligent,
A good leader,
Knows how to follow orders (Worked in the steel industry before the 7 hour war)
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I am expecting the CCA to be a good step for me and my character; it will be a fun, enjoyable, but also an educational experience. I think that the CCA will be enjoyable as I will get the experience to develop my character further, and be able to make a larger range of choices later on in my career with the character, such as gaining a higher rank in the CCA if I was to be accepted. I am looking forward to being able to have the experience of even applying to join the CCA. If I got in I would be sure that the CCA will be a fun experience in the fact I will need to act on issues every day that will test my endurance and mental capabilities.
However, I and my character are also expecting the CCA to be a change in the fact that I will be expected to and need to deal with a range of uncivil citizens on a daily basis that will need to be shown how to act in the new society placed upon us by our glorious Combine overlords. John and I are expecting that the CCA will be for us, a new learning step where we will be able to develop and gain more knowledge of not only what the CCA is like, but also what the HL2 universe is like, I am looking very forward to applying for the CCA position.
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.
John came from a simple town, full of simple people, where life was indeed, very simple. John didn’t have the best of habits, he was a strong drinker, a chain smoker, and also a wife beater and he was a horrible man. This all changed however when the Combine invaded, during the 7 hours of gruelling mental pain and physical exhaustion, he realised that his life needed to change.
However, John’s life was never this bad of course; he grew up in a wealthy family, in a farm on the outside of a quiet village in Pennsylvania, John was the kind of man who would work for his upkeep, he would work hard and do it to the best of his ability, John had passed school by then and got a range of good grades. John however lost both of his parents in a car crash on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, when he was 17, however. He started smoking and drinking heavily, finding ways of bypassing the law just to go ahead with his filthy habits. John was sent to live with his uncle and aunty in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, after his godparents found out about Johns habits, his godparents came from a strict catholic family.
While in Newcastle, John got a job working at a steel making factory when he was 18, just months before the Combine invaded. John made a good living from working at the steel making factory and was later promoted to a supervising manager, taking care of the employees below him and making sure all health and safety regulations were met. John moved back to the place he grew up only weeks after getting this job as he felt as though part of himself was missing, learning more about when he was younger he soon realised he was no more then a worthless human being, he started questioning why we were here, why is every day life all the same? John then got, yet again another steel making job as a health and safety manager in a steel making plant in Pittsburgh, using the money to fuel his habits.
Weeks later however, takes us to the start of the invasion, when it all just… went to shit… The military collapsed, everyone John knew was dead, kids were slaughtered in the streets, civilians were mowed down in their waves, and no one was safe. John was one of the lucky ones however, just moments before Dr. Breen got a truce with the Universal Union, John was in the midst of one of the cities being invaded, and this is when he realised. He needs to change.
While in City 18, John has forgot about his addiction to smoking and drinking, he follows the rules and laws of the CCA, he is a loyal and faithful citizen, he now knows civility from disobedience, and is a changed man, he is ruthlessly loyal to the CCA, believing that they are the ones who changed his life, bought him out of the dark circle he was living in, and changed him for the better. Maybe, just maybe, they were sent from the heavens?

OOC Name: Lewis
IC Character Name: Sesmo Iridimo
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.
Sesmo, overall, has liven quite a horrible life, he was bullied as a child because of his father's alcohol problems, and jeered at for his mother, who "sold herself for money." As an adult, he was an outsider, nobody seemed to talk to him and he rarely set foot outdoors, only a few people spoke to him; he was regarded as "the town weirdo." Due to all this bullying, and the way he isolated himself, Sesmo has a very low self esteem, and is more or less deemed as a social outcast, only making a few good friends in his lifetime; most of them he never saw again. (Let's save that for the back story, shall we?)
Upon arrival at City Fourty-Five, Sesmo saw a glimmer of hope; a light in the darkness, a way to relive himself, to make his life have meaning again, he saw that the Combine as saviours, they saved him from his horrible way of living, took him into the bright, Sesmo thought he owed them everything, and he decided to remain loyal and faithful to them, just as he thought everyone else like him would. Sesmo thought wrong, he saw many people, breaking the new laws put in place by the Combine, Loyalists such as himself getting bullied and jeered at, just like Sesmo had as a child. At first, Sesmo didn't really think much of it at first, he tried to help the others, he got along with most of them, but as Sesmo began to express his loyalty, he was also jeered at, even assaulted once, getting tackled to the ground and punched in the face by someone who despised the Combine.
At first, Sesmo didn't report the man, thinking that everyone deserves another chance; sadly, these bullying instances became more and more frequent, and Sesmo was getting rather frustrated. He couldn't do much about it, as by the time he would of reported them, they would be gone, nowhere to been seen. All of this, aided by the horrible acts Sesmo witnessed within the City, gradually edged him on to thinking about joining the Combine Civil Authority.
"Yes," thought Sesmo, "I'm going to join the Combine Civil Authority."
And so he began, scribbling away at the small piece of paper with various questions on it.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Sesmo is a lawful, forgiving person, he may get a big angry if pushed over the line, but otherwise, he believes everyone deserves another chance.
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 think it's going to be a fresh break from Citizen Role-Play, it's going to be quite fun role-playing a recruit, his first day on the job, not knowing anything, just a citizen in a suit, to put it. Some aspects sound quite hard such as remembering all the radio codes, like, 10-4 (I have no idea what it means, just saw a CP saying it once), what is and isn't contraband, where I should be patrolling and stuff, hopefully I won't encounter any minges, and be forced to chase them for ten minutes straight, otherwise, I expect being in the Combine Civil Authority to be fun but hard at the same time, and it's going to be quite good using the "CCA Char development" thing, like, when you're RCT, you're still a bit nervous about beatings, and when you're a 04., you're slightly used to your job, and don't make as much mistakes.
For my character, it's going to be a new way of life, an escape from his past, a tough way to live, but a better way to live, I think he'll be a bit hesitant with beatings at first, with his morals and such, maybe be a bit too kind and forgiving with the citizens, he might "dun goof"(Hell, I'll probably goof up more than my character.) at times, but after a while, I honestly think Sesmo will get used to his new way of living, and try and make the City a better place for everyone, or at least try.
Before he gets all brainwashed and... stuff.
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.
PART I: 19th APRIL, 1990.
It was a rainy morning in Trishkova, a small town about forty kilometres north-east of Pristina, Kosovo's capital.
A young Sesmo Iridimo was lying in his bed, listening to his mother and father shouting and arguing, he had grown used to it, but this time it was horrifying.
"He's your fucking child too, you drunk slob!" shouted Donjeta, Sesmo's mother.
"It was an accident, the boy's a fucking mistake, I was lonely, I was young and bored, you stupid whore!" retorted Imer, Sesmo's alcoholic father.
There was a loud thumping noise which lasted about a minute and a half, followed by silence.
Sesmo was genuinely terrified at this moment, his mother and father never shouted for this long.
"Donjeta, I'm sorry... I really am..." sobbed Imer.
"You always say that, I never should of married you in the first place!" screamed Donjeta, banging the door loudly.
Sesmo watched helplessly as his mother walked down the pavement outside of their semi-detached home, dragging a suitcase along behind her. She hailed a taxi, put her suitcase in the back and climbed in the front.
The taxi sped off into the distance. That was the last time Sesmo would ever see his mother.
The door slammed again, and he saw his father storm off down the street, presumably to his favourite liquor store.
About half an hour later, Sesmo heard him return, drunk.
Sesmo braced himself, ready for his regular beatings his father unleashed upon him when he was drunk.
PART II: 15th SEPTEMBER, 1991.
It was a dark, humid night, Sesmo was sitting upstairs in the toilet, when he heard the familiar clinking of bottles, his drunken father was coming. Sesmo was ready this time, he had stolen the spare keys the night before, and about three-thousand dinars, he had a small backpack with anything he would need, some food, a change of clothes. By the time Sesmo's father realised his son was missing, Sesmo was getting a taxi ride to Avanterj, a small metropolis near his home town of Trishkova.
Sesmo sat in the back of the car, pretending to read a book, acting like a mute, trying to ignore the driver's suspicion filled questions.
"Isn't it a bit late for a child like you?"
"What book you reading there?"
"So, what's your name?"
By the time the taxi stopped, Sesmo was getting quite impatient, a little uncomfortable, he shoved about twenty dinars into the man's money box, giving a small "Keep the change..." as he left. Sesmo, having looked on a map, had found out that Avanteri had a small orphanage. So, Sesmo stuffed the money in his shoes and socks, and rolled in the mud, and jumped in a few puddles to make himself look like a local. Sesmo's aversion had worked, the staff took him in, shocked at the way he was. Sesmo felt rather guilty for using them like this.
But the way he had been living before they would of probably broke him out of his house with an army squad.
Sesmo settled in rather nice in the orphanage, life was good for a few months, until a police officer turned up one day.
PART III: 2nd FEBRUARY , 1992.
Sesmo was sitting in the orphanage main room, playing backgammon with one of his best friends, Josip Adreme, when one of the orphanage staff, Arta, asked him if he could come kindly to the office. When Sesmo got in, there was a grey haired police man, with a friendly voice, and someone Sesmo would never of expected to be there. His father.
Imer stayed silent as the police officer spoke, not even looking at Sesmo.
"You must be young Master Sesmo," said the police officer with a friendly smile, extending his hand.
Sesmo ignored the man's offer of a handshake, only giving a small nod.
"Well..." said the police officer, gesturing to Imer, "I guess I should you leave you two alone for a... family reunion." he gave a small wave, closing the door behind him.
Sesmo sat in silence for a few minutes, then said, "Hello father, I never thought you'd come for me."
Imer sighed, a tear trickling down his cheek. "S-Sesmo..." he stammered, "I-I love you... I r-really do..."
Sesmo interrupted him before he could continue. "I heard what you said to mother that day she left, I haven't forgot father. I still hate you. Goodbye." Sesmo got up and closed the door, the picture of his father breaking down embedded in his mind.
Sesmo walked past the police-officer, who was whistling in a cliche manner, trying to look as if he had not been listening in on the conversation. Sesmo walked back into the front room, sat himself back down with Josip, trying to act as nothing had happened.
"Why did they want you in the office," asked Josip?
"Oh, nothing, just I... I..." trembled Sesmo, unsure of what to say.
"Is there something wrong?"
Sesmo got up hurriedly, knocking the table over as he did, the backgammon pieces flying everywhere, all attention in the room trained on the fleeing Sesmo. Rushing to his room, he locked the door, pushing his wardrobe in-front of it, and curled into a ball on the bed, crying himself to sleep, oblivious to the large group huddled outside his door, curious.
It was days before Sesmo came out, only to be greeted by bullying and jeering.
"Sesmo, I heard your mother was the local slut!"
"Hey Sesmo, let's go get your father drunk!"
Those were the least insulting comments he heard. Only one person comforted Sesmo, surprisingly it wasn't any of the staff, they were all too busy "working on files", or, as you would say, having a smoke break; which lasts about two hours. Josip was always there for Sesmo, and he helped him to get through the tough times, standing up for him, protecting him from the older boys and girls.
PART IV: EARLY 1998
Sesmo was getting old now, he was just turning seventeen, and he would be leaving the orphanage soon, and go to study mechanical engineering at the local college. But something happened, it didn't seem big to Sesmo, but it would change his life. A lot.
"Rumours are spreading that Kosovo has broken out into war," blared the TV. "Leotrim Skjadir reports..."
Sesmo wasn't really bothered by the news reported, thinking it would die down in a few days, and not affect him. Sesmo was wrong... oh boy, he was wrong, very wrong.
3 MONTHS LATER
It was exactly 4:30 in the morning, Sesmo was awoken by some screaming, and the sounds of trucks pulling up. He heard many footsteps outside his room, out in the hallway. There was a loud thud as Sesmo's door came crashing down, and a large, uniformed man with a black beard grabbed Sesmo, dragging him down the stairs. There were many other men like him, all with the same symbol on them, a large bird like figure with a red background and golden letters around it saying "Ushtria Çlirimtare e Kosovës" as Sesmo saw that, something ringed in his head, a collage of the news reporters on the different channels all speaking at once.
"KLA..."
"...Kosovo Liberation Army, also known as the Ushtria Çlirimtare e Kosovës..."
"... apparently fighting for Kosovo..."
Sesmo almost had a panic attack as one of the men pulled a black bag over his head, and pushed him down onto a seat. He heard the engines of the truck start, and felt something touching him.
"Sesmo, is that you..." whispered Josip.
"Oh thank god," replied Sesmo, "I thought I was the only one here..."
"All the boys from the orphanage are here..."
"Quiet!" shouted one of the UCK Soldiers, hitting Sesmo and Joseph with a hard backhand.
Everyone on the truck seemed to have got the message, an eerie silence filling the air for the next few hours. The truck halted abruptly, and one by one, all the boys were pulled out of the truck, to be greeted by a cheery old man with a large belly.
"Now boys, sorry for the scare... but... you were picked, to fight for your country, to fight for Kosovo!"
There were a few cheers from the older men as the Captain said this, adding to the "drama" of the moment.
PART V: JUNE 14TH, 1998
Sesmo and Josip were fixing the transport truck, which, on it's way to Pristina, had broken down. Sesmo was underneath the truck on a car-creeper, while Josip was standing up, blethering away to Sesmo.
"So, you see Sesmo, when this is all over, we could take over my Uncle Afrim's mechanic business, he's got -" there were multiple loud bangs, followed by shouts of confusion and panic.
Sesmo watched in horror as the sniper shots continued, and as his best and only friend, Josip, fell to the ground, his cold dead eyes meeting his Sesmo's stare.
"No!" screamed Sesmo, pulling himself out from under the truck, cradling his friend's body, ignoring the searing pain in his thigh as one of the gunshots hit him, the other men trying to pull Sesmo into cover behind the truck. Eventually, one of them had to knock Sesmo out to make him let go, dragging him to the inside of the truck.
The continual noise of the truck engine eventually awoke Sesmo, as he looked up at the cheery old man known as "Captain".
"What were you thinking boy? You almost got killed! It took us hours to fix your leg, but you're probably going to be stuck with a limp for the rest of your life! And for what? A dead body?
"Josip..." mumbled Sesmo to himself.
"Yes, Josip, the fucking idiot who couldn't do anything, the little retard who served up food for us all, and done nothing else!"
Something flicked in Sesmo there; something big, for the first and probably the only time in his life.
Ignoring the horrible pain in his thigh, Sesmo reached up, grabbing Captain by his neck, and falling out the truck with him, pulling him down to the ground.
The driver didn't even realise they both fell out, he was just content on getting home.
The big, fat body of Captain absorbed most of the impact, although it was a good twenty miles per hour or so that the truck was going, the Captain was dazed, and by the time he was aware of the situation, Sesmo was running down the hill towards the train tracks.
"TOOT TOOT," emitted the train horn, as it slowed at the crossroads.
Without thinking, Sesmo followed the sound of it's horn, sighting many, many freight containers full of industrial equipment, some of them empty.
Running, or should I say, limping as fast as he could, the pain in his body now registering, Sesmo got a grip of the ladder on the side of a freight carriage, holding on for dear life. As the train slowed down at the first stop, presumably delivering materials or equipment, Sesmo climbed in the container, leaving the door open a few inches, watching the world go by.
PART VI: JUNE 21TH, 1998
By this time, Sesmo had finished all his army rations, and sat in the train, knowing that this couldn't go on forever. He stood up, opening the carriage door, looking at the passing trees, the sun shining, Sesmo took a deep breath, and leapt into the hands of fate, falling into the passing bushes, getting snagged in them.
"Well, fate definitely wants me alive," thought Sesmo, as he brushed himself off.
Walking for a few minutes, he came across a road, and a signpost saying "EPERNAY, 6 MI; ENGLISH SPEAKING TOWN", luckily for Sesmo, they taught him how to speak basic English back in High School. Sesmo thought for a moment, then remembered that he spotted a sign while he was on the train, the sign reading "German - French Border".
Sesmo was in France, he was a long way from home.
After following the road for a while, Sesmo came across a small garage, many small shops and lots of flats. Sesmo walked into the garage, a small little man sitting behind a desk there.
"Hello?" said the small man.
Sesmo didn't even reply, he just broke down in tears, eventually telling the man his full story in the little English he knew. The man, who named himself as "Mr. Dupont" understood Sesmo's story, and took him under his wing as his apprentice, even letting him sleep in the garage at night.
PART VII: UNKNOWN
Sesmo was in the garage, or should I say, "repair shop", as Sesmo extended the business after Mr. Dupont passed away, officially running it now. Sesmo yawned and drank a sip of his coffee as he sat beside Ms. Petit's car, taking a break from fixing it. Suddenly, there was some shouting outside in the streets, and some dust fell from the roof. Sesmo was panicking already, having bad memories of when he and his "squad" were ambushed. There was a strange noise, and almost in co-operatiton with it a huge amount of brickwork fell from the wall, covering Sesmo in dust. He heard a large metallic clang as something hit off the car, and then everything went black.
Sesmo slowly awoke, blinking his eyes, looking around. Many people, all nationalities, height, size, gender, were all sitting in what a large train cabin with blacked out windows. Upon further inspection, Sesmo realised that everyone was wearing the same clothing, identical blue jumpsuits. Rifling through his pockets, Sesmo pulled out a card saying -
"NAME: SESMO IRIDIMO."
"AGE: THIRTY-FIVE(35)."
"GENDER: MALE."
"CIVIL IDENTIFICATION: 02692"
- with a picture of his own face. At the back of this card was a pouch, with some paper notes. On these notes were some strange symbols, and a picture of a man with white hair and a beard wearing a suit.
Opening his suitcase, which everyone appeared to have, Sesmo discovered he had another jumpsuit, the exact same, with the letters "C45" written on the neck collar. Sesmo closed his suitcase as the train slowly ground to a halt, the doors opening. There was a blinding flash of light, as a small robot type thing took his picture, and flew away, Sesmo was amazed, it was like he was reborn, taken from his horrible old life.
"Welcome to City-Fourty Five," bellowed a huge monitor, with a picture of another suited figure.
As Sesmo exited the station, he saw a poster, with that same bearded man on it, and the writing -
"JOIN THE COMBINE CIVIL AUTHORITY TODAY, DO YOUR PART FOR THE UNION."
"I will..." thought Sesmo, "I will do just that."

IC Character Name: Jake Melkut
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. Self Preservance gave Jake the Idea to apply towards the CCA. Walking around the city, Unable to help in the larger picture, Caused strife in his mind. Looking at the men and women serving as CCA members puts a spark of pride in Jakes heart. He wants to be with them, Instead of agitating them. Looking at the hierarchy of the Civil Protection, Jake feels a need to be apart of this.
Showing themselves to be a righteous force, The CCA walks the city proudly, displaying a sense of Honor, and Duty. Strength within itself, No fear towards an invisible enemy. This is observed by Jake while he is sweeping or doing some otherwise important duty. Giving himself a sense of duty, A drive towards joining this betterment. Wanting to help those who are in need, Those who are arrousing rabble to be detained and otherwise dealt with.
Those who wish to harm the system so whole heardidly placed before us, Should be dealt with righetous vengeance. For this, The CCA protects our cities well being with their very presence. With force, The CCA gains respect by the Citizens of our fair City. Knowingly, the force of anti-citizens causes our city as a whole to gain unlawfulness, When our city should be full of regard to our Mutual Benefactors. Jake Wants to join the CCA, To preserve his state of being a Man, Unlike those who are savages.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
He is a driven Individual, He strives for self preservation, He could be considered a materialist, but he does not hoard things. He is Unemotional towards the current occupation, Seeing it as a new opportunity. He is a dedicated individual who tries to occupy himself with his Occupation.
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 Civil Authority to be a New gate way to self Preservance. I expect to be given Respect amongst the city, More then now. I have attempted to give myself to the union in other ways, But none will surpass this ultimate act of self preservation. Instead of Being on the Recieving end of power, I would prefer to be on the Right side of this mutually beneficial neutrality. Nothing would suffice more to me then having the capability to walk the streets as a Proud Civil Protection agent.
Not Fear, But Pride would be achieved with becoming an officer of the City. Aiding those in need, Punishing those that strive to abolish our New lives. Permitting myself to give myself to a Righteous cause, Instead of one that is to be considered weak. I wish to become an Proud individual instead of one who is to be considered Less then our glorious benefactors. I expect to be a benefit to myself and my peers. More then now, Where I am hated by my, Unloyal Peers.
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.
Weeks of Attempted "Holding it out" left Jake and his father in a small country side manor house with dwindling food and water. Jakes father had seen the news reports months previously and had began to stock food and water. His father thought the Government would intervene before things got too bad. That never Happened, They were in that house for a years time before the well and water supplies ran dry. The few cattle they still had alive produced milk, But it was never enough. Two of them left, Not enough food for one, one would sacrifice himself for the other. His father took a .357 magnum and shot himself behind the house. Leaving a small note telling Jake to leave the Manor and follow the road until he reached the city. This city would keep him safe, as his father had failed to do.
Jake took enough food and water as he could carry and began to walk to the city. The city was over 50 miles away, So it would be at least a 4 day walk. After a Days walk, Jake noticed a military vehicle in the distance behind him. Thinking he could hitch a ride, he sat on the side of the road and waited for the vehicle. The vehicle stopped a few yards behind him and two large men came out, one shouting orders to the other. The man shouting orders walked up to Jake and told him he needed his hands to be tied behind his back for transport to the city.
Jake did not resist, in his head, it was better then walking for four days. After arriving at a checkpoint the vehicle continued along the broken countryside Stopping for no one else. This act confused Jake, there had been at least 16 people that had been driven by, but not picked up as Jake had. He got the idea to ask the men as they were talking amongst themselves. The answer was, " The city is already crowded, You just got lucky."
As he entered the city, It was bustling with activity, The soldiers had dropped him off in a re purposed industrial factory. He would be living with another family for the time being, A strapping young lad with his mother and small sister. He talked to the mother often after helping the local trash collectors sift through the waste. She was a German women living in the United Kingdom where she met her now deceased husband. She had stories he could not imagine of her life outside the city walls. These stories included things she could hardly describe, Terrible creatures attacking humans.
Life had been uneventful, the occasional drills to make sure the citizens of the city were ready for anything. Nothing had happened to Jake other then cutting himself on a sharp piece of metal. Until the day the Alarms weren't drills. Soldiers had been running everywhere most of the day, Citizens were told to head underground to the bunkers and living space under the city. Large numbers of vehicles had moved in an out of the city. Nothing was normal, Something was happening. Then the bunker main door was shut. People were screaming, Children were crying. Massive sounds rung through the main entries, Shots being fired, firefights occurring, Explosions in the distance. Jake counted the hours, 5, Massive fighting on one side, 6, Fighting began to die down as the unknown force mopped up. 7 complete silence, and 7 1/2, A large number of an unknown force began to attack the invaders, but were thwarted after only fifteen minutes of combat.
The door opened, Combatants stormed the bunker tying everyones hands and walking them out of the underground, Jake had been fairly close so he could hear what was going on, He was tied without a shed of resistance, He knew what was happening at this point. He and most of the males to a holding facility, They were placed here as though they were rats in a cage. Crowded together, not fed, not watered. This holding facility was chain link though, he could see the brutality of the now known Universal Union. After three days of this chain link, The men were released and processed as Citizens given necessary clothing, and showered after being inspected for imperfections. Then the men were given Transit Papers and instructed on access to the transit facility. Jake made no attempts to resist any of his situations, He simply followed instructions as he always had. Nothing had changed, only which hands controlled the world he had never known. His only objective now was to survive.

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.
During the seven hour war Jackson didn’t even attempt to resist against the Combine because he knew the humanity had no chance.
He was relocated to city 70, a rather quiet city with a small population. Jackson always followed the orders of the Civil Protection, thus he never got into any problems and never earned any points.If he saw any suspicious acting people he reported them to the Civil Protection right away to show his loyalty to the combine.
His reputation was very bad amongst the local resistance; they gave him the nickname “Betrayer of Humanity". But this one particular day changed his entire mind about the combine.
That day he was attacked by a resistance member that was mad at him because he got his best friend amputated; the rebel was holding a sharp butcher knife at Jackson’s throat and said: “Well, what are you going to do now, traitor? You gonna call the civil protection?” while laughing sarcastically.
The rebel was slowly starting to press the knife into his throat.
Jackson was screaming in pain and his throat started bleeding, but suddenly a Civil Protection officer noticed the fight and flicked his stunstick on.
The Officer started punching the rebel unconscious and took both, the unconscious rebel and Jackson with him. The Civil Protection patched Jackson’s wound up and let him go.
Since this day Jackson has a scar on his throat and is more thankful to the CCA than ever before.

OOC:
I have never been in the role of a CCA officer, so it would be an entire new serious roleplaying experience for me. It will be a challenge and I will have to learn many new things like all the radio commands, the verdicts, etc. I will have to deal with many new roleplaying situations from a whole new perspective. Also, I’m hoping I will never have to deal with minges or anything along those lines. I'll obviously help new people if I meet any.
IC:
Jackson is expecting hard training and many orders from higher ranks. He thinks it will often be hard work, as there are many radio codes he has to learn. Jackson will have to get used to beat, and maybe even amputate citizens. He's curious about what it's like wearing the uniform with all its features and advantages over the jumpsuits. He wants to help the UU and the CCA keep control over the city and the Earth.
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.
Jackson Doe was born in the US on the 28th August of 1986.
His mother, Caroline Doe was 30 years old when he was born.
His father, John Doe died in a firefight 2 months before his birth. John Doe worked as a police officer. During the said firefight 4 heavily armed criminals were robbing a bank and killed 10 people including John Doe and his partner Matt Johnson. They were already shot at when they arrived; they had no time to call for support. All of the criminals were armed with AKs. They both were hit into the stomach and bled to death. 30 minutes after John and Matt died other police officers managed to arrest them.
When Jackson was 6 years old his mother married a brutal man called Jack. He worked in a factory and was 42 years old. At first he seemed very friendly, but a half year later he showed his true face; he was an alcoholic and was always drunk when he got home from work. Once Jackson turned 8 the real problems started, Jack hit Caroline and Jackson almost every day. One time he even made Jackson’s nose bleed and broke his left leg. A year later he was caught by the police during a fight in a bar; the man he was fighting against died while he was in the hospital. Jack was let out of the prison 5 years later, during that time Jackson was 14 years old. Jack hadn’t changed in any way; he kept beating up Jackson and Caroline. She couldn’t stand it anymore and they divorced a few months later. It didn’t stop Jack though. He was like a hunter that found his prey; he wouldn’t give up. He kept breaking into Jackson’s house by throwing a stone through their windows; he stole their things or simply destroyed something. And then, on a Sunday night, he went completely crazy. He broke down their door and went in with a sharpened knife and cut through Caroline’s neck. The entire room was spilled with blood. The loud scream of his mother woke Jackson up; he ran into his mother’s bedroom and saw blood everywhere. Everywhere. After this event he was put into an orphanage. His grades in school were usually normal to good, but the fact that he had no parents that could help him anymore made him get worse and worse in school. Two years after he barely made it out of school he moved into his own apartment and found a job as carpenter. And then he saw him… He saw Jack in a bar. Typical. He waited outside the bar for him to get into his car. Jackson followed him with only one goal; get revenge. Jack parked his car in front of his house and got out. He locked his car and walked towards the house. Jackson sneaked up to Jack when he was about to open the front door and strangled him to death. He pulled the dead corpse into a bush so no one would find out what happened. Jackson nervously got back into his car and drove to his apartment to think about what he just did. Luckily the police never found Jack’s corpse. When Jackson turned 23 the seven hour war came. He didn’t even try resisting; he knew he and the rest of humanity had no chance. After the seven hours of earth being taken over by the combine he was first relocated to city 70, a very quiet city with a small population. He forgot everything about his past life due to the rations he ate daily. Jackson was known as “Betrayer of Humanity” among the local resistance of city 70. About five and a half years later he was attacked by a rebel, (see section 1 for more detail) but when he was about to get killed a civil protection officer saved him. About one month later he was relocated to city 18.

Ivan was a criminal most of his life, stealing from the weak. Taking orders from the strong, he was well built for this life; He loved every second of it. But when the combine invaded, he was forced to act civil; otherwise he would have gotten killed.
Ivan hated the combine, He hated how they ruled earth with an iron fist, he reminisced of the times where he ruled cities, when he could kill people and no one would do anything about it. He eventually came to like them; some of the officers reminded him of his old friends from the groups he used to be in, Strong willed people. After many weeks of being relocated as he just started to get adjusted to the city, he was relocated one final time, where he remains there now. Turning in lawbreakers and doing various jobs to help the community.
When Ivan received his loyalist armband, he was very excited. It was like he was accepted into a new organization. He was overjoyed that his work had gotten him somewhere, and vowed to do more things for the community, and the civil union. He was also told he could apply for MPF police force, he thought about this for many days.

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.
Ivan was born in the late 60s’ Orphaned as a child, he was sent to one of Russia’s’ many orphanages. He saw many kids being taken from the orphanage by adults, many of them his friends, eventually, after asking the orphanage supervisors a lot, they told him the truth about where he was born, what they did here. Eventually, he started to hate everything about the place. Everything changed when he was thrown onto the streets when he turned 18.
Ivan was picked up by a high ranking member of the Orekhovskaya gang a well known crime organization based in Moscow active in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Ivan had to follow many orders; some of those orders were to kill people told directly to him from the leader of the gang Sergei Timofeyev. He treated the gang members like his family, doing exactly as instructed right down to the letter. The group died when Timofeyev was assassinated in a car bomb in 1994. Not wanting to be anything else, Ivan joined up with the Solntsevskaya Bratva, which was where most of the surviving members of the Orekhovskaya gang ended up.
Sergei Mikhailov was the leader of the Solntsevskaya Bratva Ivan did many jobs for the gang, starting from the lowest ranking member he stole cars, trafficked drugs, and stole many times. He continued to gain recognition in the gang. He was forced to leave the gang in 2009 when he became romantically involved with one of the gangs’ Prostitutes; the prostitute was killed in front of him while he was forced to watch.
In 2009, he was forced to get an honest job, job searching for days with no sleep; most of his job applications were denied and he got desperate. He took up mugging people on the deserted streets, praying on the weak, just like he was shown in the various Gangs and Mafias he had been in. Unfortunately he barley scraped enough cash to live.
Then one day, Ivan was evicted his cheap apartment, he couldn’t afford to pay the rent. On his first night sleeping on the streets huddled up in a stolen, torn blanket he grabbed from this old, homeless woman The combine invaded. All he could hear were large explosions, he hid down a dark ally in a large dumpster. In the morning when he stuck his head out, the city he once knew for the whole of his life, Was reduced to a pile of ashes. He was relocated to city 18 in 2011. He took this as a chance to become a better person. He vowed not to steal again. And still keeps to that promise today.

Rett has never been a rule breaker. He often keeps to himself. He never sits around to listen to plots of rebellion. This keeps him out of trouble; however it leaves him no way to make friends, and leaves him vulnerable to getting mugged for living alone.
One day Rett was walking down the street alone when someone tried to mug him. They beat him up and took tried to take his things. Just then a CP officer came up and arrested the man and let Rett walk home. Since that day Rett thought he wanted to help keep peace and order in the city.
Rett then went to work for loyalist points. He swept the streets, reported crimes, and just helped in any way he could. One day while sweeping the streets he realized he was being followed and watched by a high ranking officer. The officer then called him over to give him his armband. So he went home to start his application right away.

We will take our duty maturely and be responsible about it. We would also like to help keep order around the city as much as we can.
We look forward to stopping anti-citizens and making life in the city a little less dangerous. We do not want anyone to have to deal with being mugged again. We are also looking forward to the excitement of stopping any rebels trying to disrupt the peace of the city. We would like to be able to do more than just report it and hope someone gets to 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.
Rett never got to meet his birth parents nor did he ever want to. He was bitter towards them for abandoning him at an orphanage in Seattle Washington. Since Rett was just left on the door step of the orphanage no actual date of birth was actually confirmed, however they told him that it was about January 22nd 1990. Growing up in an orphanage is very hard on a young boy; he developed many issues such as trust issues and the fear of being alone.
You would think Rett would become very cold and brutal, however he decided that closing himself off would not accomplish anything. That does not mean Rett was wimpy in anyway, Rett was a very tough person that did not rely on others for support. Around 16 rett got kicked out of the orphanage for being too rebellious. Rett then went to start a new life in Seattle, the only place he knew. He managed to get a job as a dishwasher for a local restaurant. He lived in a single room apartment and stayed at that job until the combine came to invade.
Rett was moved to city near Seattle. There he met the love of his life Beth Stark. They quickly fell madly in love and it stayed that way for a long time, until one day she just disappeared. He never found out why but his abandonment issues grew worse because of this. All his memories of these events where forgotten by drinking the Breen’s water, all except his issues which developed because of his past and the Beth incident. Shortly thereafter Rett was moved to city 18 which he still currently lives. Rett did not make many friends hee, not because he was shunned or outcasted, but because he chooses to not be hurt by people again. That is where he had the whole experience that made him want to become a CP officer.

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.My character David Smith is so lonely, and hungry, desperate to do something worthy with his life before he dies. He's come up with many ideas, but none of them work. Trying to become a Civil Worker, trying to make friends, But people tell him to piss off, Because he likes the Combine.
And so he had one last idea, Joining the Metro Police force.He was so exited about the idea when it came up, all that was going in his mind was, Weapons, Body armour, exiting missions. And he was so forced into this idea from his brain, he went and put an application in, once he had done that, He had waited and waited days for the combine to tell him that he had been accepted. During the time he was waiting to be accepted he read many books about the Combine and how great they are and how safe they made the citizens. He only used the research booths provided by the Universal Union and no other way to research. When he was done, his great mind filled with knowledge, He went into his Civil Union Housing apartment and thought...
He had thought of what he was going to do when he got accepted, First he thought of patrolling, and watching anyone to see what they would do wrong. Then he thought he might get promoted and training other recruits how to handle delicate situations. and how to use a weapon when needed most. He was so exited about the job, and he can't wait for it. He has seen what they can do to keep order around the city, and how they deal greatly and effectively with anti-citizen's.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)He is Trustworthy and lawfull and will patrol the city without trouble. He is Pure with absolutely no anti-civil points.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?Me and my character are expecting reasonable friendliness and reasonable food, with training and knowing how to deal with the most "toughest" anti citizen, I would expect to go on missions with the DvL and other MPF units around City 18.To be able to patrol around the plaza and deal with the citizens who are being idiots, and teaching them what NOT to do. To be able to tell everyone what to do if there is a problem and will call for backup when needed. If he wants to arrest somebody he calls in backup and he will confirm the suspect of any probelm and arrest him. His background will be very respectable in his fellow officers eyes, and will be used to Unions advantage.
Always keeping the Union working,support you can call him. I expect further in time to obtain medical training to help my fellow Combine team ,wounded from any resistance, To make sure they live a healthy and happy life. Being able to help protect the citizens of the city by guarding hard points. Paroling for any signs of danger/anti civil behavior. And to help raid buildings that may contain anti-citizen's or contraband. This would be the perfect live for him. This is what he has always expected.
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.Back when he was a kid He watched as the combine took over in under 7 hours. He watched as they quickly controled every city, every block, and every citizen of the world. When he heard there was a rebelion going on and that they were winning he decided to start loyalty training. Years later after finished with the training He decided to join the Combine and push back the rebel scum. He would rather be safe, then risk his life just to be free. He has allways hated them, with the little lambda sign and how they all run around hiding when they are overpowered. After he heard that the rebels had a gravity gun he thought that it would be an honor to retrive it from the anti-citizens and take it back to the Nexus. After much reasearch of the Combine and reading many books about them like "Zen of the union" But he never read any other book then besides the ones handed out by the Universal Union. After many years studying and researching in private research booths He think he knows all about the combine but he was wrong.. Before he applied for the Combine Civil Authority what he didn't know was that the Combine were secretly creating a transportation device that can transport anything to any other transportation device. But when he found out he wanted to Make sure he made it into the Combine Civil Authority team.Even though he was unaware that the Rebels had one, never would he think that would mean anything bad would happen. During the year 2016, he finally got is application looked at. After so much determination he knew the application would be accepted. After much hope this is where he stands today. In front of a folded document ready to open the application to see if he was accepted. This is where his story ends, and reality begins.

Kyle was born in a small notheast town in Illinois. As a child, Kyle had many friends and his teachers adored him. Kyle wasnt always popular but he always went out to do what was right. He never cared about what anyone else called him or said to him. All he cared about was himself. Kyle was always very smart in school. In highschool, he made honors classes with straight A's. He joined college and studied many things, including Criminal Justice, Health, Weaponry and Weapon Training. He married a young woman named Sarah at the age of 25. They were both 25, they thought about having children but figured it could wait a while. That year, both Kyle's mom and dad were murdered when a robber broke into their house. It was a very tragic day for Kyle, and he swore he would have his revenge, but that never happened because a couple years later the Combine had invaded earth. Kyle hoped he wouldnt be affected by it, but still he felt like it would happen. Many days later, the Combine landed in their city, and many people he have heard of recruited for the Civil Protection. Rebels came up everywhere. Kyle wanted to join the rebelion, since he had a skill of criminal justice and weaponry training, he figured that the Rebels could benefit from him. But he figured his life wasnt worth it. The rebels were defeated and the city was controlled by the Combine. The buildings were completely destroyed. Kyle and his wife were left homeless. The Combine moved everyone who was left to a place called City 18. Kyle never felt safe here. He never knew if it was because of the threatening Combine, or the fact that he no longer had a place to call his own. He decieded that the best choice would be to enlist in the Combine Civil Authority.

I looked up to my fatehr a lot, I would work ith him all the time. he would teach me a lot of stuff. sometimes I thought he would be screamign at me becasue he didnt like me, becasue I wasnt worth it, what I woudl do is show him that I can do it, even at my very young age. I sometimes think I never had a childhood, I wish that I wouldve been a kid for once, but on the other end, I am glad my father tought me all he did, that he made me stronger. But he tought me that sometimes somehtings bother us, we just have to live with it and Endure it.

The instant Ic alled the Ambulance to go get the Body, I knew I had to be the man of the house, and there I was, I became my father, and I was proud about it. I knew that he was somewhere inside me, because that day, I changed completly, I felt like a soldier, like my father.
Part 3: The Combines
I had done everything I could to protect my family during the seven hour war. My father had taught me to choose my battles, this was obviously one I could not win, i mean Heck, it took us 3 years to get to germany and capture Berlin... it took THEM 7 hours to take on EARTH!! so it was wiser to protect my family and keeping them alive however I could. we were quickly assigned to city 36, Wich was Moscow, I had been there a couple times, but it did not felt like Russian Anymore...

At the Age of 32 years old, I was moved to city 18.Back in the days when I was at city 36, there were tons of Combines, they were doing a great job, i was helpuing out cleaning the cities with the vorts, by volontary Work. but when I came to city 18, there were barely any combines, there were citizens runnig everywhere, beating eachother and stealing stuff, there were the ocasional Combines who would wakl around, and then there the citizen would calm down, but still.
Part 5: the Descision
After a month of living in my very shitty living quarter, barely leaving the apartement, I had no friends what so ever, the only reasons I would go out is to go get stuff to eat, I as so scare of gettign mugged or robbed. at that moment I had this conscience, it was my dad actualy speaking in my dreams, telling me that I shoudl do somethign about it, hown ever I could. the only ay I saw how is to join the Combine forces and HelpingCity 18 getting out of this misery.

OOC Name:
Col. Avalanche
IC Character Name:
Scott Anders
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.
My character, Scott Anders, has a strong passion towards the Combine. My character wishes to keep the cities in better order, doing anything he can to improve the surroundings. He has seen his fair share of anti-citizen activity, and wishes to be able to do more than just send a request via his request device. Seeing as the amount of units present in City 18 has shown to be limited, he saw the opportunity to apply for the Combine Civil Authority.
My character has been a witness to several injuries and accidents, at which no one has come to assist the injured other than himself. As Scott was a paramedic before the invasion of the Combine, he wants to pursue the path of a Nova. Being a paramedic has opened his eyes to many situations, and has taught him the importance of not only the role, but the importance of teamwork as well. Thus my character wishes to aid the cities in which he is stationed by aiding the wounded, as well as keeping order within the city itself.
Scott achieved Loyalist status rather quickly; performing duties such as cleaning streets, polishing several units’ boots, and reporting anti-citizen activity. Seeing the Universal Union as the only way to not only survive, but also prosper, my character applied for a position shortly after receiving his Loyalist armband. My character has submitted his application to a unit, and awaits a response from the Combine Civil Authority. In the meantime, my character carefully observed the ways, procedures, and actions of units, trying to understand their system better.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
My character is very mature, intelligent and understanding in the medical field. He has proven to be very honest, even if he knows that the outcome of the situation will not favour him. He is dedicated and hardworking. Being a quick learner has been one of his traits since his youth.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
My expectations of the Combine Civil Authority for my character are the same as for my previous character. My character will be encouraged to follow the ranking structure, and will be sometimes forced to do some things that, deep inside, he doesn’t want to do. Scott will be further disciplined and taught many techniques and procedures with which he is not familiar with. He will also experience major, quick, physical changes due to the medications he will encounter upon his recruitment.
For myself, I expect as much of the Combine Civil Authority, again, as I did for my other character. It will be disciplined in-character, and will take time to progress through the ranks. Being soft as a recruit will be rather challenging for me, as I have been raised in a strict manner, and take positions, even if in-game, very seriously, despite my ranks. Once again, following the authorisations systems shouldn’t be a challenge for me, as I am aware of the importance of them, and have been a part of many RPs in which ranks were to be followed.
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.
Scott Anders was born on September 22nd, 1981, in the city of Toronto, Canada. He grew up in a very disciplined middle-class family, and was expected much of at early ages. Scott took his first steps at 11 months, which was slightly longer than it took his older brother. Scott Anders began speaking in small sentences a few months before his second birthday.
Scott went to a local elementary school, which is where he began socialising and meeting new friends. His teachers were often impressed by Scott’s listening skills, and have made many remarks about him being a quick learner. The young boy earned good grades in school, and has often been trying to be better than his older brother, Adam, who was 3 years older than himself. Yet, both brothers got along very well, despite their rivalry.
Scott moved onto high school, after a successful graduation from elementary; earning awards for excelling in English, Mathematics, and Science. In high school, Scott worked hard for his grades, but always made time for extra-curricular activities outside his studies; often spending time with his friends and investing time in the Israeli martial art of Krav Maga. The adolescent progressed through the grades in high school, as well as the levels in Krav Maga, with excellent performances. The young boy graduated high school with an Honour Roll, and moved onto a medical university, to pursue his interest in the medicinal field.
After completing university, and going through many different jobs and responsibilities around one of Toronto’s hospitals, Scott realised that being a paramedic is the duty fit for him. He found himself enjoying being the first to arrive as help at different scenes, working in dangerous situations, as well as saving those who would’ve otherwise died. It was during one of his duties that the word of the Combine attack spread upon the world. Major urban cities were rumoured to have been captured. Military forces were rumoured to be either dead or scattered.
Toronto, too, has surrendered to the dominant Combine forces, and gave in to their attack. Scott was passed through several searches, given his standard city jumpsuit, and a ration packet, after which he was released into the city with the other civilians like himself. During his placements throughout the different cities, Scott came to understand that co-operation is vital for everyone’s survival. He understood that the Combine dominated any forces of resistance put up against them, as he, himself, has witnessed. Scott began observing other citizens, as well as some of the units, and has noticed some being awarded with Loyalist Points for their actions.
Scott quickly picked up on the act, and began requesting duties and tasks from the units he came across, in hopes of receiving some of the perks that the Loyalists received. He polished shoes, cleaned streets and housing blocks, reported anti-citizen activity, and other forms of assistance, which have, in one way or another, lead to a better city for the Universal Union. Seeing the limited amount of units while stationed in City 18, Scott asked a unit for an application, and decided to fill it out, hoping to enrol into the Combine Civil Authority, and one day, too, work side by side with the units he has come across.

Dave Lafferty
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.
My character has had... A past with the resistance. He wears a glove on his left hand and has a scar on his right eye because of them. When he was encountered by the resistance, he was wearing his armband; they saw and immediately jumped him. He was ready for this though, he was able to hold them off until they could get him to the ground and they cut his hand off. He wants only for the resistance and rebels to feel the pain he's had since he had to get the robotic replacement. They will pay for their actions with blood.
Now he looks in hatred of the resistance. He lives every day remembering the pain he suffered, and vows to kill every member of the resistance he can catch with every little rebel too. Thise who oppose him are promised to suffer when this man joins the CCA. His cause of suffering will not be for because it's fun or because he has power, but for revenge. This man will end life, and it will be for the union. This is his promise, and he has been a man of his word. This of course only applies to the loyalists, the anti-citizens can go get amputated. He is ready for the suit of the CCA, and he's willing to do anything to prove it.
His future is boundless, he is the omen of power that grips the resistance and breaks its willpower. He will use his stunstick to punish those who disobey and are anti-civil. He uses his pistol to kill those who would want to kill him. He will personally use his now mechanical left hand to beat every resistance member he crosses in close quarters combat. This will be the pain they feel, but it will never make up for the pain they gave to him, a permanant scar of cutting off his hand and the scar over his right eye from the blade they used. All who are with their ideals shall be amputated slowly and painfully.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
My character is a Loyal, law-enforcing type who wants revenge.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I will expect it to be a tedious, life risking job. It will require training, self discipline, and must learn ways of the combine he doesn't even know yet. He will remove the mental imperfect from those they would endanger, and remove those who would also threaten civil peoples lives. He will be one of many, who are ready to keep things civilized in society.
This is a tough job meant for those ready to take on the task of becoming a CP unit. Moving through the ranks will not be important, as long as he is in the MPF. He will learn to respect his brothers in arms and keep them protected while they protect them. He will be a soldier of the city.
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.
My life was simple, a farmers life of taking care of animals and making a living off of them, popping animals that would threaten mine with a .223 remington 700 rifle. I have trained myself to use a weapon with simple rules. Rule one: Do not aim at something unless you are ready to kill it. Rule two: Red means dead, so until you want something dead, the safety is on. Rule three: If you're not using the weapon and you don't plan on it, keep the weapon unloaded and chambered. These rules will protect you and those around you you don't want to hurt, from getting hurt. I am applying the MPF to use my knowledge with others to make the world a better place for the Union, and the civil citizens.
I now live in the city, a beautiful area full of thriving life and protection immediately when I need it, which is often. All the resistance and rebels fear to touch us loyalists and do not wish to even get near or bother us. It's a simple life, where we can be free of the thoughts we do not wish to have in society and no one is picked on for their differences of thought except when against combine law. Everyone as long acting civil are treated equally. It is a much simpler life.

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.
Well, my character wants to join the Combine Civil Authority because, he wants to keep peace maintained in the city.Also he would like to find rebels and kill them (when high enough rank to search D2.), Ulimately he dislikes rebels based on what he saw during the war. He vowes to protect anyone and not only protect but inforce the rules strictly. He wants to punish people who deserve it, and maybe get to use a gun (Lol)
Anyhow he has very little experiance with a gun, (When he was young he used to play with bb guns)
So, now that hes at the table to one of the most beloved ranks in the city, he is just exicted.What led him to apply? Well while walking 3 rebels jumped out of no where robbed him and destoryed his request device, and stole his armband (he got it back) so he vowed to get payback.He would just investigate all day until he found some what information and use it agaisnt the rebels.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
My character is Lonely because he doesnt know who to trust, expect for the combine, because he studies the citizens actions.Not only is he Lonely he is also trustworthy because he always respects the combine, and stays up all night and day trying to help them.He is just very enraged at what is happening.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?Well I think the Combine Civil Authority would like him because he has a awesome memory- not to brag but he remembers frequencies like the back of his hand.Tell him something,he will charish it and remember it for as long as he lives.
Any how he is very smart, focused, and loyal, So dont expect him to betray you any time soon.
Just his life has made him stronger, and almost like a bodybag (He used to get beat up a lot)

But he ran out of resources and was forced to move to the city.
His favorite thing about the city was the rations, food, water, and money.Of course he loved the

IC Character Name: James Bryan
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.
http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?topic=5188.0 (Bio - In on going work)
The reason James Bryan would like to join the Union is more or less influenced by his beliefs, he believes that since the Union proved itself dominate and the only true authority to apprehend years of warfare on earth, that it was simply they who he should follow and uphold their authority. Theres other common intrests for the average Citizen that comes into play with James also, such as quality of food, James would do anything to get his body to the way it was before the war, he would do anything to eat normally like he did before the war aswell. A small minor reason for his joining is the building of his character, he believes that by joining the Union, his personality will alter and to socially acceptable standards.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Hes generally a nice guy in public, hes street smart due to his past. James is also a trustworthy man. (Only to those he works with or people with his common aim.) Socially unaccepted by the average person. (Apparently due to his beliefs.) Finally he is Paranoid when facing large groups (Except those he can trust.)
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
Thanks to Trivium, I got a good insight of what to expect from this Union, I know this Union is a lot diffrent due to strictness, I know theres diffrent proceedures, Responce codes, "SoPs" (Standard Operation Proceedures), another thing I couldnt help but notice is the recruits (Most of them) act the way a recruit should do following the "Citizen in a suit" rule.
My character on the other hand expects to see something he looked for almost his all life, people like him who have similer own beliefs, he hopes to actually for once befriend his fellow Units and make sure his beliefs remain intact by defending the Union, he also wishes to build himself up, by that he means fixing how people look at him as a socially unaccepted man.
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.
To be honest, I based a lot of recently learned traits of my own on this character, I thought "What would it be like to roleplay a character who fared in a world like we know in Half Life". What I found intresting on this character also was the fact of missing a limb (Being a finger). I thought it may raise questions to others about his missing finger and thrus create decent roleplay. Making my character very "Diffrent" from the common average character, I thought I might provoke totally diffrent questions and situations then I roleplay on my other characters. I also thought the idea of him being paranoid in large groups would be a nice trait as well and it encourages me to display fear in the open to everyone around him, also again provoking a diffrent experiance and diffrent form of roleplay to others. I generally find James Bryan could be very diffrent to roleplay, so if I can show this and inspire others, I am happy that I could do so.
Whats also intresting is if he does happen to join the Union, what changes will I naturally notice occure in his personality? To be honest, if my unit happens to run through the ranks I hope my character displays a completely diffrent personality from the Common experianced Officer, that means I hope he wont neccecerly become a cold unit much like higher ranking units.

IC Character Name: Dolaf Vonderhaar
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.[/b}
Dolaf wishes to join the CCA because, he could never control anything in his life, he would always be bullied and pushed over, to be in a lot of bar fights.Mostly to enforce the rule of Civilized Society. To obtain order, and to keep peace among the citizen's of City 18. He also wants to become stronger at his age, he is already strong, but wants to become something he couldn't become in 2015. During his short time in the British Military, he was taught things that could be valuable in the CCA, mostly in the Medical and Special Operations fields. But, he was lead here with earlier experiences in City 17, seeing stuff that made him feel something inside, but he could never put a finger to it... Possibly power.
He wants to stop the rebelling going on, and enforce a Civil Union, and you can't do that until the enemy is destroyed or suppressed. He wants to become apart of something big, and enforce law upon those who appose. Not for revenge, but to serve and protect, and, to complete what he couldn't, to serve the Universal Union until his last dying breath. He is going to be, and stay loyal until the end, if there will ever be an end. My expectations of the Combine Civil Authority for my character are the same as for my previous characters that I've had in other servers. My character will be encouraged to follow the ranking structure, and will be sometimes forced to do some things that, inside, he wants to do. Dolaf will be further disciplined and taught many techniques and procedures with which he is not familiar with.
He believes the world would be a better place if it were ran by the Universal Union, to punish those who attempt fights, and to kill those who want to think someone is different because they dress differently. Now, he doesn't have to worry because everyone is put in a similar suit and place, now we can maintain a Civilized Society because of this Union. He wishes to join the CCA, again, so the order can still be obtained. I realize that the CCA already have enough members, but, he wishes to join to still in hold that he can do what he couldn't. To exact order, and pain to those who have cause him pain.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Lawful, Trustworthy, Honest, Loyal, Pure.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I expect it to be similar to my other RolePlay experiences in Garrys Mod, to have control over those who are lesser than I, and to enforce Civilized Society onto those who try and rebel against the Union, to obtain correct order in the Universal Union. I also expect it to be exciting, and a good experience to go through, again. I expect as much of the Combine Civil Authority, again, as I did for my other characters I expect as much of the Combine Civil Authority, again, as I did for my other character. It will be disciplined in-character, and will take time to progress through the ranks. I also realize that being a Civil Protection officer is time consuming, and I have a lot of time on my hands. I will be on at the best of my abilities, and will help wherever and whenever I am needed. I hope it will be an exciting ride, and hope that I will have fun on this server (which I already am). I am definently going to enjoy my stay as a Civil Protection officer, and until further notice, I will spend my time on this server.
Honestly, it has been a while since I last was a Civil Protection officer, but, in my time, I was a Detainment Unit (DtU), a Medical Unit, and other things (mostly HELIX though.) But, I imagine, it wouldn't be any different, I'm sure something's have changed, but, it will be a fantastic experience, just like all of the other experiences (especially killing the damned minges!). Being a recruit, may be challenging in a way, but, like I have said, I have been in a lot of other servers and, I have a lot of experience as a CCA officer, I am used to the ranking systems, and the systems, I am used to it, as (in real life) I have been raised around the Military structure, and, I know what discipline awaits, and whats punishments will occur, if I shall do anything wrong. But, in other words, I'm not expecting it to be easy, at all am I.
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.
Dolaf was born on August 6th, 1993. His mother was killed at childbirth, and, his father was his only relative left to take care of him. His father took his mothers death hard, and blamed Dolaf for her death, and began drinking and beating him. At the age of 11, Dolaf was taken by Child Services to an orphanage in London. While living in the orphanage, he would always be made fun of for how small he was. He was 11, and looked like a 6 year old. Never having any control... One day, at the age of 15, he fought back, and was removed out of the orphanage, and adopted by a family in London. He had a step sister that liked to talk to him, but considered him a fool at school, the nerdy kid.
During his High School years, he would always be bullied, and taken for advantage. He never had control over anything or anyone, always to be lesser than those above him. Dolaf was considered the "nerdy" kid in school, never to be liked by anyone, always going through pain, and never having any friends to hang out with, or party with. Well, one day, he was invited to a party and was bullied even worse there because it was off of school grounds. He broke 2 ribs, and was taken to the hospital where they found a defect in his heart. He would always wonder why this would happen to him, but could never really figure it out. When he turned 19, he moved out and bought his own place. Always in bar fights, and fights with other people. He was a drunkard until his non-biological mother told him to look into the British Military. When he turned 20, in 2013, he tried to make the join in the British Military, but was held back by the defect still in his heart.
After about 2 years, he found his love, Alexandria Vilinov, she (to him) was the most amazing thing to of ever had happened to him, and, after they got married, he made the move to join the British Military. But, it was the edge of 2015, and the new year was beginning. The year of the 7 Hour War, and, that stopped him from being able to join. Alexandria lives in City 17, Dolaf was moved to City 18, where he now resides in pain for losing his loved one. Ever since he has moved here, things have been going great, he hasn't been messed with ever since the Civil Protection came to order, and he hopes to join the order. He wants things to be like it never of had been, to experience life in a new perspective, and to become what he couldn't.

OOC Name: Thunderbluff
IC Character Name: Sam Shiffer (Not copying Sam Fisher)
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.
Samuel Shiffer grew up with parents of crime. It wasn't everyday he would come to a breakfast table with some sort of drug on his table. He found no hope in life and gave up for a long period of time. Sam's parents we're brutal, forcing him to fetch items around the house and the neighbourhood. Before Sam hit eight years old, his parents we're caught in a drug raid. He was then brought to a orphanage. His parents we're then put in jail. He never saw them again. Sam thought that this was a good thing, and it was. For him.
Once sam hit the age of 17 he left the orphanage for law school. He wanted to become a lawyer.
He grew strong in his late teens, hoping to make the world a better place for everyone. In collage he grew stronger. His life was at it's best, high on life he would say. Everyone in the world he knew would agree that this infact was his muse, this meant a lot for him. In law school for three years he met with another person. This person became his brother he never had. Sam and his new found friend Moe, agreed once out of law school they would start a lawyer franchise. But a two years into law school Moe was killed in a gang drive-by. Sam swore he would change the world for Moe.
Out of law school he became a lawyer. Even though he promised Moe that he would change everyone, he felt to week. No franchise just himself. Life became more miserable for Sam. He felt life was like a routine now. One rich white man after the other blaming some criminal of something stupid. Or some company in debt he had to deal with. It wasn't the amazing life he wanted. He then went into depression and no longer a lawyer.
When he was in his ripe fourties the seven hour war occured. At first he did not know what was happening. He thought it was some millitary stuff going on to get us out of the world. Then by the time he was safely transfered to City 18. He embraced this powerful movement from the man they call Breen, and his forces that he controls, "The Combine". He thought that this was his calling. He had nothing to lose, but if he did, he would for the Combine. It's not that he seeks vengeance, it's that he wishes to keep his promise.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Sam Shiffer is very loyal. He also sticks to his world. He is determined and ready for anything, therefore being confident. He is also very keen and accepting of new ideas. If told he can be a power hungry beating machine. He really doesn't get caught off guard and takes orders well.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
Once I get accepted I excpect to be dealt with strictly and learn fast. I excpect to have a lot of responsibility put on my characters shoulders. Going around patrolling the streets and looking for any sort of resistance. Going on missions with other units.
I excpect to be keeping the safety of many citizens lives and respecting the authoraty given to me and my character. I also assume that there will be a lot expected of me at first, and I am completely fine with that.
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.
Sam Shiffer had druggy parents. There house was always a mess, and no parents to take care of him. No one ever really cared for him in his life. He grew up like this until around 7-8 years old. A drug raid on his house saved him from his misery. Growing up in an orphanage while his parents we're stuck in jail. He felt safe. In his late teens he left the orphanage for law school, seeking out the job of a lawyer. Finding much to do he thought he had finaly found his muse. During law school one of his greatest and only friends died in a drive by shoot out. Promising his friend he would change the world he continued school to become a lawyer. Out of law school he continued work as a lawyer, not the way he wanted. He worked for one person after the other, car accident or criminal, life was sad for him. He felt like he would die this way, until the seven hour war. During the war he had no clue what was going on until he was transfered to city 18. His new place of residence. Adoring the combine, he felt thats what he needed to do. Becoming one of them, he could help fight crime and get rid of those pesky rebel forces. And then once and for all. Change the world. He would lose anything to join them. Even his life. He tries everyday to be helpful to the Civil Protection force. Knowing that they work day after day to keep him safe, he respects them more then anything else. Everyday he will set his state of mind to, helping CP or looking for criminals to report to them. This is where it shall start for Sam Shiffer, in the Civil Protection Force. (329 words checked!)
1. How long have you played on role-playing servers in general?
I would say 2 years and a few months, I started on DarkRP then realized that it's not really role-play just running around. I know a lot about the Half Life story and I'm very good with Hl2 canon, so I decided to play HL2RP.
2. How long have you played on serious servers?
Well probably a year and a half or so. I've learned a lot in that time and every time I log in I learn even more.
3. How long have you played on Catalyst Gaming?
On Catalyst? About a few months. I've played a few other Hl2RP's though, CP too.
4. What Time zone are you in?
EST (Canada,US)
5. In what country do you live?

7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience?
Well one time in another Hl2RP server I was just starting as a CP and there was confirmed rebel forces inside City 8 and I was sent to spy on them for a while and once I reported back I was engaged in a shoot-to-miss gunfight. That was probably one of my most enjoyable Hl2rp memories.

IC Character Name: Eric Varco
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.
Here's a better question, WHY DONT you want to join? But.. There is no correct answer to this, it all started when my character moved to C18... When my character, Eric, moved to City 18 the first thing he saw when he entered the Plaza is a statue showing the friendly CP assisting a Citizen, that inspired him to join the Glorious Combine Civil Authority and hopefully ascend to the UU. He spent long hours working for Loyalist status; once he accumulated three loyalist points (Before it was bumped to 5) He began working on his application in a forlorn hope of ascending to the rank of RCT... He thinks of the Honor he well bring himself and the UU if he's accepted. He deeply envys his fellow citizens that have ascended to the Honourable CCA. Thinking of smiting rebel scum is.. Entising to say the least. To have so much yet so little power.... To ascend from the the lowly garbage of Citizen...
To add to what was said above, his life was saved by a Civil Protection Unit, also adding to his desire to join the CCA. To see Anti-Citizens being arrested and exicuted is... Palpable... The Honor brought by joining the CCA will drive any man to join. He's heard anti-citizen whispers in the CCH.. The Civil Protection Units did't believe him. But he'll listen IF he gets accepted he'll try the best he HUMANLY can. The prospect of joining the CCA is a marvalous dream he fathoms every waking moment. He's dearly wishes to join the CCA even if it's the last thing he does. To wear somthing better then dirty Civi's and to live in somthing other then an infested appartment is.. AN AWESOME THOUGHT for short. To eat somthing other then dead rats and bland rations.. To be able to serve the most successful military regime in HISTORY! Who doesn't want to join?
Humans have lived in in-securit's for years, Civil Protection removes all of the in securitys and provides a safe enviroment for the Citizens to leave in harmony... To destroy the insidous Rebellion that threatens the lives of citizens and Civil Protection alike and disrupts the sociostability and harmony of a perfect City. He wishes to be on the front line combating Anti-Citizens and Rebels. Also he wishes to help his City more then being a Citizen; what important task can a Citizen carry out? Scrap rust off a garbage can? Take out the trash? No, as Civil Protection you can actually carry out important tasks that a Citizen can't be trusted with. Even guard duty would be PARADISE! To simply be in the Venerable Combine Civil Authority is a priviledge, and a duty. His life rides on this application, to be so close yet so far... I can't think of any more reasons to join, unless you want a wall of text.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy) Law Abiding, Trustworthy, Caring, Responsible,
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I expect it to be a highly structured, stable, military styled enviroment with no tolerance for failure or for error. To be exicuted for the slightest error and for the black brass heart breaker's to be dealt out like candy. I know that the RP will be DRASTICALLY different, to be in a postion of power (not really) and for danger to lurk around every corner. To be hated by some citizens and feared by the smart ones, to be mis-treated by supeirors and not truely missed if you die. I also expect to be the "FNG" on the first day, starting out and knowing nothing... Like that new kid at school whom know's nothing about the routine or how stuff gets done.
I know at first as an RCT I will have no authority WHAT SO EVER and no privildges AT ALL. And no trust AT ALL. My character know's he'll loose all contact with anyone he knew before being Inducted; That contact will be restricted by anyone outside of the UU's operational bounds. He knows he must show little to no humanity in the line of duty; to watch bloodshed and carnage and say and show absolutely no humanity at ALL. Only puke in private... You are to show so little as too not even show your face in the presence of a Citizen.. My character knows thsi and doesnt have a problem with it, at all...
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.
Far before the Seven Hour War my character, Eric Varco commanded a tank battalion in the first Gulf War and early operations in Afghanistan. His Battalion, Helix, had more kills and succsessful missions then ANY other battalion. After the Gulf War and some early Afghan ops he retired from the military and lived a quit life; When the Combine invaded he saw those numbers and new it was hopless. He was one of the first to surrender, why die a pointless death? If he fought he would have been destroyed on a cellulare level. No.. He began biding his time, once he learned that you can join the CCA and fight for the Combine he istantly began working for loyalist status to join; to fight the good fight... To earn Honour destroying the enemys of the Glorious Universal Union.. Back to the story.. At first he lived in City 12, then transfered to City 11, then to C8, then to C45, City 85, City 5 for the longest time and now City 18. He hopes he wont get transfered again so he can atleast get his CCA application in before he's shipped off to Union know's where. If he does get transfered again, it might aswell be in a different uniform. His hatred for the Rebels runs back to when he was attacked by a group of Lambda Rebels; He was entering his appartment a group of men assualted him with shanks, he disarmed one by breaking his wrist, knocked shank out of another's hand and ran to safety, he told Civil Protection but they did't believe him becuase they ran into D2. He swears he will recrifie this injustice, if this is accepted he will fight crime where ever it lurks. Also he's been forced to live in a run down, dingy appartment infested with all sorts of rodents and pests. Watching only Union approved TV on a plank held up by two cinder blocks. While watching his Union approved programming he was thinking of ways to earn Loyalist status so he can turn in his application.. Once he acheived this he began working on it as soon as he could in high hopes of being accepted.

Keriah Eckley
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.
My character has wanted to do something about the rebels ever Since her brother died, to a group of rebels. Who thought, he was working with the CP. During the encounter my character was also attacked, leaving a scar across her right eye. She was left alive for unknown reasons. Now Keriah wishes to kill all rebels, to avenge her brother. The only thing is though, how could she?
Later my character found out that the CP’s were recruiting loyal citizens. She then began to help any CP that needed assistance, no matter what the task was. For almost one month Keriah was working hard to earn any loyalist points she could. Then she had finally earned the loyalist armband!
Now Keriah has recently gained enough courage to go ahead and apply to become one of the newest CP’s. After sending in her application to become a CP, Keriah anxiously awaited a reply from the Universal Union. After about 2 weeks of waiting Keriah was beginning to think she had gotten declined. Three days later a letter arrived from the Universal Union. What will it say, will she get accepted, or declined?
2) Please detail your character’s traits. (E.g., Pure, Lawful, trustworthy)
My character is trustworthy, she has only broken one promise in her life. She is stronger than the average person. Lawful, as in she will report any rebellious activity to the CP’s since she is just one person. Nice to those that is innocent, but mean to those who are guilty.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
Me, and my character expect good hours, and decent food. Also to be trained to take down even some of the strongest citizens. I would expect to go on missions with the DvL and other MPF units. Also I expect to patrol plaza, in an attempt to find someone committing a crime.
I expect to protect the innocent by taking down the resistance. When I first join I expect to be pushed around a little bit by the higher ranking CP’s, but I won’t mind. I’m most likely going to get flooded with new responsibilities, but I think I’ll be able to stay calm under the pressure. By the time training is complete I think I’ll have everything figured out.
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.
My character’s name is Keriah Eckley, and her brother was killed, by a group of rebels. During the attack Keriah was attacked by a rebel who was armed with a knife, he managed to cut Keriah’s right eye pretty bad but she was able to shake it off, proceeding by disarming the rebel, just for two more rebels to appear and begin attacking her in hand to hand combat, knocking her out, but only after she saw her brother get shot, by one of the rebels. When she was waking up, it was to a massive headache. She then slowly rose to her feet, and searched her backpack that was thrown over to the side, and found nothing inside of it. She then shouldered her bag then went over to examine her brother’s body. When she had finally made it to his body she had regretted walking over to his body. Keriah had suddenly fallen to her knees and began crying, since her brother had died. She was blaming it completely on herself, but her friend Kevin Brown, was trying to convince her that it was not her fault, with no success. A year later, Keriah found a way to get revenge on the rebels, by joining the CP’s! She thought she would never get accepted, since there were tons of new recruits. Although this discouraged her, she still began getting the trust of the CP’s by doing any job she could for the city. Like cleaning a statue, cleaning the streets, picking up garbage, and cleaning an officer’s uniform. When she had finally gotten her loyalist armband, she was elated! She instantly began writing up her application to join the CP’s. When she had finished writing her application she was afraid to turn it in, but after a day she had finally got the courage to turn her application in. Now she is just waiting for the reply to her application to come in the mail.

Kevin found out CCA was recruiting loyal citizens. Kevin tried to find any job available, didn't matter what he had to do or where It had to be done he would take the job. Kevin worked hard and recklessly until he was figured a loyalist. He was proud after he was called a loyalist.
Kevin takes a deep breath and starts writing the CCA application. After sending the application, Kevin waited and waited hours for a message.

My character's name is Kevin Brown, a current loyalist and hopefuly soon a Civil Protection unit. During the first month of the universal union arriving on planet earth, Kevin's brother, Jack was killed infront of Kevin himself. Resistance had killed him for treason. He tried to rat out the Resistance in the city, but they would not let him get away, his soul was teared from his infront of his own eyes. Kevin was traumatized. He swore over his body that he would not die without changing the world. Not knowing what to do now he had to figure someway to get vengeance on the world. Kevin, didn't know what but he would do it. Days later a civilian was talking about applications being availabe to the Citizens to apply for CCA. He thought this was his calling, and he thought this is what he had to do to change the world. He soon learned the combine dream, and what they wanted in the world. To Kevin, this all made sense and he wandered why people tried to fight against them. Everyday Kevin learned more about the Combine and embraced it. Becoming a loyalist was the first part of the job. Scouting out for crimes and sweeping the streets, on such a small level even Kevin knew that this would help. Finding people trying to mug from other innocent civilians or even finding contraband, his all had been put into this, even more. Knowing that he could look up to Breen and his forces was a great relief. And even watching the beatings from the metro-police he knew that it was for a purpose. He discovered that this is what the world would get for all they had done, all they had sacrificed, all they had stole and robbed from Kevin.

IC Character Name: John Bourne
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.
John has always been passionate about authority. All his life he has wanted to be in a position of authority. However, this was not to be as he failed many attempts at getting into the Police Force as a young adult. His many failures have not altered his attitude towards them however. Once he was moved into City 18, he took notice to the CCA and their actions towards people. He felt that they were his future goal, and so concentrated on their movements and actions in the coming weeks. He kept testing himself on what a unit would do after an action occurred. He made sure he was perfect before attempting to become a loyalist. His ambition for the CCA drove him to strive for greatness. He also took notice to other peoples opinions of them to make sure his view wasn't biased by his ambition for them. This is what has driven him for the past few weeks to do.
John has always wondered what lay behind the giant metal walls. Inside the walls he imagined discipline and authority. He would sometimes dream that he would be one of those units who was ordered to carry out a detainment protocol on an Anti-Citizen. Each time he would think to himself the procedures, what they might be like. He looked at it from every angle, from what he observed from the units outside, and created several scenarios with his imagination. John found those who disobeyed the Union to be mindless beings who were not acting for the greater good. He felt that those who rebelled should be stomped out to keep peace and social stability intact. Those who did not meet the specifications of a perfect citizen should not be worthy of living in the great cities such as City 18.
He wants to become part of something big and enforce the law on those who disobey it. He feels as though his enrollment in the CCA will be an effective and advantageous one. He wants to enforce the law on those who feel that the city is not good enough to them, to those who feel that life is not enough. He wishes to teach each and every one of them the glory of life and why people should cherish it. He plans to do this with an iron fist and let nothing slip though his fingers. Mistakes are not a part of his dictionary, he feels that a failure is something that happens to the weak. That is why he feels he must join the CCA to enforce the iron fist of the CCA over the City to keep society intact.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Loyal, Motivated, Keen, Understanding, Ruthless, Lawful.
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 difficult for me and my character as we begin our roleplaying journey in the CCA. However I believe that it will ease as we begin to learn and train to become more and more effective. I feel that the roleplaying experience will be one to remember as my character keeps peace in the city and stomps out anything unnecessary to the CCA. I feel that for me, the experience will be tough to learn everything and to keep a cool mind whilst on show to the whole server. I feel that as a CCA, you are what people see in the server, so a good CCA means a strict and co-ordinated server. To get the most out of my roleplaying experience, I must learn until I am perfect at what I do. Practice makes perfect.
For my character, John, it will be a new experience for him as a CCA. He will experience things he has never experienced before and will find it hard to adjust. But with perseverance he will be able to overcome the change and become a unit of greatness. He will eventually gather the information he needs to be a perfect unit and minimize mistakes. At a recruit, he will find it hard to get all his duties done on time and in good condition as he has never experienced something like this before. Once he begins to get the hang of it, the pressure and stress will ease on him as he suits into his new aspect of life. As he hopefully climbs up ranks, he will learn what it truly means to be a CCA unit as he keeps society in peace and halting any anti-civil activity.
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.
John Bourne had a tough life when he grew up, his attempts at greatness were always stomped out by some factor or another. When he was two and had just finished his first Lego tower, his younger brother would come and wreck havoc on it. His life was one of constant failure. His heart became ever weaker as failure after failure appeared at his feet. He began to lose hope on what his future career might be. By the age of twelve, he was in his first year of secondary school. He was new just like the others and wanted a good early foothold in what might drive him to future greatness. However, whilst young, and inexperienced, he was too shy to gain a foothold in his school. He was left out from groups of friends, he studied drama which boosted his confidence. He also studied biology, mathematics and physical education. Several years past as his confidence grew. He felt that his earlier life should not hold him down for the rest of his life, so he always attempted to strive for greatness regardless of the results. He knew that one day he would have his big payoff.
Once he left secondary school with high grades, he had the whole world ahead of him. His ambition then grew for a position of authority as he attempted to join the Police force on several occasions. Each time he would try as hard as he could, but each time things would get in his way. Each failure left him stronger. It was not long until the Portal storms began to strike, and John felt that his future career may not come to fruition. Once the attack started, he took shelter in an underground housing area, hiding for months before he was found and shipped to city 14. Here he was placed into a dusty, dark and wet apartment with another man. Here he lived his life for three months, attempting to gather the new way of life. He noticed the CCA but thought nothing of them. As the months went by, he noticed their actions and how they could keep social stability within minutes of an outbreak. After a good few months, he was shipped to City 18 where he began his new life and took real notice to the CCA and began to become a Loyalist. He was determined to join and nothing would get in his way.

IC Character Name: Siera Ponikvar
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.
It all started when Siera was in Japan, When the portal storms started she was always in a trance that made her believe that nothing that was happening was real. Her family’s butler took her to city 18 where the people had gathered to stay safe and go on with their normal lives. Siera never did go back to her normal life nor could she ever for her father was killed by hostile alien life forms that came through the rifts and she would never be able to go back home. But her father’s unknown death will only be the start of it all.
Her family’s butler had stayed by Siera's side the whole time but that would have to come to an end at some point. One morning he went out go restock their food but luck would have it that the 7 hour war started very soon after he left. Siera had awaken that morning to find that the butler was gone, so still in her weird trance she went looking for him. When Siera stumbled out into the streets she could see destruction and chaos as the Combine invaded, though she could not comprehend what was going on because of her trance.
There was one thing that broke Siera out of her trance, and that was the sights of the butler's body, laying in a pool of blood, shot dead. At that moment Siera knew that she had to run and stay alive, so she stared to run. She ran all the way to the other end of the city before she blacked out, when she started to come back she realized she wasn’t in the spot she blacked out. Siera is in what she thinks is a lobby of a hotel and a lone T.V. is on showing Wallace Breen surrender Earth to the Combine. Some time later Siera finds herself in the train station of city 18 in a line of people being handed their city 18 jumpsuits by the combine. The very second she saw the combine she though she found a way to stay alive. That way was to join the combine and rise through the ranks.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Cold
Dedicated
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
OOC: I expect that joining the Combine will give me a new and more difficult way to role play. I’m sure it will take a good amount of time and dedication but I'm willing to put in that time and dedication because i think its worth it. When i play as a Civil protection unit I'm sure I'm going to learn many new things in role playing and even increase how well i can role play. This is what i will expect from joining the Combine Civil Authority.
IC: I’m sure that joining the Combine Civil Authority will not be easy. As a girl who never had to do much for herself i will have to learn how to rely on my self and those who out rank me. Also I'm sure the Combine Civil Authority will have a laugh as i struggle with tasks that most others could do but I'm also sure that i will get just as strong as they are. This is what I, Siera Ponikvar, expect from joining the Combine Civil Authority.
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.
In July,18,1990 Siera Ponikvar was born into a rich American family that lived in Ohio. Her family was the founders of a computer software corporation called Onik and was very well known for their anti virus software and their operating systems. Only a year after Siera was born her mother died in a fatal car crash, and her father was never home for he was always at work, so she would grow up with no parents to but instead she had the family butler. The families butler was a 69 year old Japanese man named Goro Isumoto, and had worked for the Ponikvar family for over 10 years. Goro took it upon himself to help Siera grow up in a world where she would have no parents and he did so like she was his own daughter. When Siera got to her elementary school years she was avoided my all the kids because they didn’t know what to do in front of someone who had a family that was as rich and powerful as hers so she always got the cold shoulder. This lead to Siera becoming a cold and anti social person. With everyone giving her the cold shoulder only the family butler would listen to her and help her, and so he became her only friend. When Siera was 14 she found herself in japan, the year was 2004. Goro found himself taking Siera to the nearest city to protect her from the hostile aliens from Xen that where coming out of the rifts. Siera's father was killed by the aliens when he was out looking for Siera, before the portal storms Siera stayed with Goro and his mother who lived out in the country, at Goros mothers home. Siera, not knowing what city she was in and not knowing any Japanese was going into a sort of trance that made her almost mindless, all she could do was eat, sleep, and when Goro was lucky say a few words. After a few years the year was 2015 and the 7 hour war was about to begin. Goro went out that morning to get Siera a present because it was July 18, her birthday. Siera wakes up that morning hearing a lot of loud noise, she didn’t even bother to think about, but when she noticed that Goro was not in the hotel room she when t out looking for him so he would make her Breakfast. When she got outside she didn’t even seam to notice the people running and screaming, nor did she notice the drop ships and Striders ripping through the Japanese military. But what she did notice is the body of her butler laying out in the streets covered in blood with a small box rapped in paper in his hand. When she came across this sight she snapped out of the trance in seconds and realized that she was in danger and all she could do wad leave her only friend on the streets and live. Siera ran from the fighting all the way to the other side of the city only to find that it to was being destroyed and that is when she fell to the ground blacking out from exhaustion. When she awoke she noticed she was in a lobby with other people all around watching one small T.V. screen. What she heard from the T.V. before blacking out again was Wallace Breen surrender Earth to the Combine. Some time later she found herself in line at a train station in a city that people she didn’t know called City18. This is where she first noticed the Civil Protection, they where handing out City 18 jumpsuits to everyone who was going into the city. At this moment she knew what she had to do to survive and to survive she had to join the new power that controlled earth, The Universal Union. Siera has spent a a year in city 18 working on becoming a loyalist and forgetting Goro and her family by the chemicals that was being fed to her and so many others.

What happened was a stand off between two CP units, one was a recruit, and 5 people who also took the dead CP's gun.

OOC Name: NOTHING/Brandon
IC Character Name: Robert McKenny
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.
The reason why starts back about two years ago, back in City 42. City 42 was a, "Lower" type of a city. It was a bit more ran-down, loyaltist where harder to be found. And so on. Durning this time, Robert watched as crime happened in the city. Such as anti-citizens, rebels, (Which was a one-time thing for him.) and so on. He had never recieved the chance of becoming a unit because he still tried to fight back aginest everything that had happened. The drugs inside the rations haven't effected him enough yet. Though he still became a loyaltist after a while. Sadly, it was no use. Constantly beaten by the "lower" citizens you could say, scars began to appear over his face, and if something didn't happen soon, he would probbly end up dead.
It wasn't long before this City 42 couldn't hold itself up, and then came the downfall - Citizens fighting back, rebels exiting the shadows, units failing due to the mass ammount of citizens they already couldn't control. Quickly, some of the citizens where deported, one of these being Rodger. Lucky for him - soon after the C.O.T.A.'s took control, destroying the city. Rodger was split up with anybody he ever knew. Taken to City 18, which was said to be a much better city. By now Rodger has given up, his memory of anything before City 42 was destroyed - besides some of his few personal memories.
City 18 is where we are today. Rodger had seen more then he could take, and believes somebody needs to up-hold the laws. City 42 couldn't do that, and he wants to make sure City 18 does. What really impacted my character, Rodger, to take up the Combine Civil Authority is the fact the chemical drugs in his rations have worked - He thinks the combine have always ruled, and thinks we have to serve them. He also met another female citizen - another loyaltist, that encouraged him. Rodger has his armband and loyaltist status - and is ready to serve.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
To start, my character is pretty trustworthy, he can always do a task you give him. Second, my character is, "protective" you could say. In other words, he will sacrafice something to save others. Finally, he can take plenty of pain, things might hurt, but he can take it better then the average citizen.
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 Combine Civil Authority to be filled full of good roleplay, for my character to make it into high command, and that there is a lot of interesting & fun roleplay. I also expect that by now the Cvil Authority is back in order. (Last unit, I didn't get basic training for two days, and I patrol'ed ICly with little to no information about what to do.) And my character believes that it might some, "special" rewards, such as lots of special U.U. foods. After all - how can they run around all day like that? He also believes that it might be, "Easier" to live. Such as not fearing if a Judgement Waiver will happen soon, or if you'll starve to death.
I, OOC'ly, expect that we do not have another big mistake. ( Such as the R.D.C. bomb problem that caused Teh Penguin to leave CG.) And that the high command can take full control of the C.C.A. And I expect that you RP my recruit, that is, if I get one again, with some nice RP. Not being left off forcing to metagame by making my chracter magically know stuff about the Combine Civil Authority. Finally, I expect to finally get through our dim-witted minges heads and teach them a thing or two. They would probbly talk to the person in the pretty suit and gun if you understand what I mean.
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.
Rodger McKenny was born in 1982 at Cornfield Hospital, located in Cornfield, Texas. Now, the McKenny's family was actually related to a popular movie star, Jack McKenny. Which lived up north and was in several horror movies. But thats getting away from Rodger's story. Anyway, Rodger was born here in Cornfield, a small town in the South-West Texas area. The McKenny's themselves where not very rich, so they never had anything more technical than one Televistion. Taking a closer look at Rodger, Rodger was a good child, he was playful, social, and nice all-in-all. As Rodger slowly grew up, he started going to school, he started having friends, and basicly Rodger lived an average life.
In 1996, Rodger was 16, and his Mother had pased from sickness. It was a sad time, Rodger's grades dropped, he started to avoid his friends, and eventually, they both moved off to a city known as Dallas, Texas. It was much different - Constant noise, bigger city, and so on. The years once more seemed to slip by, and soon, he went to work at a McDonald's. He then started going and taking night classes at a college, hopping one day to become a lawyer. But after some time, the portal storms began.
During this time, it was total chaos, headcrabs attacking, vorts. fleeing from the combine, and everything else. Robert soon found himself fleeing, finally finding shelter amoung a group of others, this went on for a little while, until the 7-hour war. Where the combine then had taken over Earth. As Rodger was sent into City 42, a populated city not too far from his home town in Cornfield.
Rodger accepted the fact that freedom was over, that he couldn't do anything, and decided to, "Play along" to what they say to do so he doesn't get into trouble.
Rodger continued to live in city 42, now at this time City 42 was still nice, just like any other city. Rodger simply was the, "Average citizen." He did what was told and nothing more. But after a matter of a few years, Rodger started to believe, believe that the combine was there one true leader and they must respect them. So Rodger slowly became a loyaltist. And by the time he did, City 42 had turned into a dump. Anti-citizens filled the streets, rebels hide in the shadows. And Robert would be the one left out by these people. And once, a group of rebels had taken him, and remained helpless, beat him terribly, leaving scars across his face. And soon, chaos struck once more. An outbreak of citizens lead to a, "Rebellion" you could say. Citizens attacking with what they had, rebels coming out of the shadows and fighting with them, loyaltist fleeing, (Such as Robert.) and the Civil Protection, slowly starting to lose the fight. Soon, they began trasporting any type of loyal citizen's away quickly, one of these being Robert. And little did Robert know - COTA moved into City 42, killing anybody left there.
Robert was trasported to City 18, even though he was always loyal - they took his loyaltist status off as soon as he exited the station. He began a new - in City 18, where, "Its safer here." Robert didn't want to take it anymore, so he decided to attempt to become a Civil Protection unit. Working hard for his new armband, Rodger found new friends - and enemies, here. Finally, he recieved his armband, and had taken an application for the Civil Protection. Filling it out, gave it to an officer. Which leads us to where we are right now.

IC Character Name:Jacob Smith
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. The reason why my character wishes to join because during the seven hour war he was droven into insanity due to his family being killed all that remains is himself and he just went along with it because he knew if he tried anything against the rebels he knew he would die. He mainly wants to join so he can keep resistance from starting up and to keep peace to the cities and kill those who rejected the combine for helping the planet keeping it in place. He doesnt care if anything happens during him being changed into a combine due to him being hateful towards rebels.
The rebels have also driven him into insanity a second time because they always wanted to fight, fight, and fight when he just wanted to live his natural life and they told him to fight and he rejected and ran away. He was never allowed to come back and he was angered by them due to the fact they were commanding him around all the time like he was a baby. After he was made a Citizen he was sent to City 18 to begin his life there.
And a couple hours before the combine started attacking he was working for money which isnt worth anything due to the combine changing it to tokens. He just wanders around wondering what to do while the combine watch him and hes upset due to his life being lost. He hasnt tried anything at all to harm the combine in anyway or audio violate right now he rather listen to important things the administers say if he is higher rank then him and will follow any new rules put or Sectorials.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Trustworthy, Because he does a task that he is told to do. Vengeful, Because his family was killed by rebels Brave. to do something that risks his own life.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character? My character doesnt expect it to be a piece of cake and he is gonna try his best even if it is worth being executed he wishs to help no matter what even if hes a RCT in the future. And for me Im going to have troubles some time like some what said in the character way i do expect it to be challenging. My character also will always salute his superior when ever they come by and he will stand guard if ordered and listen to anything he is told. The last thing he wants to do which is never gonna happen is become a rogue unless he is drove to become one... "Paragraph 2" My character is going to be working for the rest of his life as a combine and will remain peaceful even if promoted if during crisis he can command well if orderd to take lead. He will try to come up with plans if it is possible of him and he is very thoughtful towards others and may make a suggestion about the city. When hes been promoted he will work harder each time to gain a rank up and take control of others under him. I will detain criminals for having contraband or beat them depending what type they have.

IC Character Name:
Kevin Cooper
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.
Kevin Cooper had a tough time deciding over rebels and Combine Civil Authority, but decided for the better and decided to apply for the Civil Authority. His friends, most whom were loyalists and the rest trying to be, encouraged him to "go for it". He thought it was a great idea. Kevin Cooper realizes that he'll likely have to give old friends up, and possibly make new ones, but he's willing if he wants to become a Civil Authority. He's always been on the side of the Combine, requesting a Civil Protection if neccesary. He's happy as a loyalist but wants to take the next step up on the ranks. He'd like to help the Combine Civil Authority in all of their actions, and has already done much to help them in their efforts, including reporting someone that wanted to begin a rebellion, signing up for Loyalist status as soon as possible, and always doing anything he can to help them.
Kevin Cooper knows that a Combine Civil Authority is given a fairly large amount of power, and also realizes that that comes with a larger amount of responsibility. If he is to become a Combine Civil Authority, he will carefully read over the regulations, rules and verdicts that are given to him. He will be completely impartial in his decisions, listen to his superiors and be respectful to all Combine Civil Authority.

He'll always fly straight and narrow with the combine, doing all he is expected to do and, if possible, more. He'll use his equipment only if neccesary and follow all the rules they're expected to. He will try to move up the ranks, but if thats not possible, he'll do all he can at his current rank. Kevin Cooper will respect the units of the Combine Civil Authority as one, and never slip up in his efforts. He's put his heart and soul into becoming Combine Civil Authority, and will be happy but respectful if he is approved, very happy and respectful indeed.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Lawful, Friendly, Respectful, Agile, Persistent.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
Kevin Cooper, as said before, knows that its a large responsibility to be a Combine Civil Authority, and will follow the rules and regulations of it. He expects to be able to deal with anti-citizen behavior, such as rebellion, uncivilized acts, and contraband as soon as possible, rather than report it and run the risk of the suspect getting away. He'll do as much as he can to aid the Combine Civil Authority, and destroy the efforts of the rebels. Kevin Cooper knows that being a Combine Civil Authority is more physically healthy, and hopes to become stronger and more agile as a Combine Civil Authority unit. Before he applied for the Combine Civil Authority, he became a Loyalist, as all others do, so he knows what its like to respect his superiors and the like. He's always hated rebels, even if he did almost consider joining them at one point (but decided not to). He'll give his best efforts to help the Universal Union in their efforts.
He will put his very heart and soul into helping the Combine Civil Authority. He will put blood, sweat and tears into destroying the Rebels. He will make sure that Citizens do as they are supposed to, act civilized, and do not commit crimes to hinder the acts of the Combine. He'll use his tools and weapons to as much use as they can be put to, and will love his job as much as a man possibly can. He'll have to give up old friends, but is willing to if it is to aid the Combine Civil Authority. He may even make new friends while working in the Combine Civil Authority. He's a hard worker, very persistent, and, as said before, he'll do all he can to help the Combine Civil Authority and Universal Union.
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.
Kevin Cooper was born April Seventh, Ninteen Seventy Two in a hospital in Georgia. When he was only three his mother died of cancer, and only two years after, when he was five, the bank that his father worked at was set aflame, and his father was buried underneath piles of stone and wood. Now orphaned, he denied any offers to go to an orphanage and lived alone in the back alleys of Georgia. When he was eleven, a stranger convinced him to live with him, and it turned out to be the greatest time of his life, despite his mothers warnings to never talk to strangers. The man always treated him more kindly than any orphanage ever could have, and while the man was a bit low on money, he would always spend all he could on little Kevin, keeping him fed with clean clothes and very healthy. Of course, years later, in 2015, that all changed with the Seven Hour War. The day before it happened Kevin had almost decided to join the police. He's lucky he didn't as all police and army men were killed during and after the Seven Hour War.
Kevin Cooper was still living with the man after the Seven Hour War, but the man was shot down for yelling at a Civil Protection, not knowing how much they were capable of. Kevin Cooper then decided he would live on his own, as everyone else did. He lived in the bomb shelter of his "fathers" house, eating canned food and nonperishable goods until the Combine found him and relocated him to City Twelve. He got into a bit of trouble with the Combine there, however, disobeying an order, and got a beating. After another offense of disobeying, four weeks ago, he was relocated to City Eighteen.
Kevin Cooper, only four weeks ago, stepped off the train and onto the main train station of City Eighteen. He'd been in trouble a lot with the Combine Civil Authority before, but decided to get a fresh start. He gathered a few friends in the apartments, and after seeing one of his Loyalist friends, asked how he could become one. Knowing that he would require five loyalist points, he decided not to ask for them and simply do good deeds for the Combine. For his first and second point, he had stopped a rebellion that had two members in it. For his third and fourth point, he cleaned up stains on walls and ripped down Rebel propaganda (respectively). For his fifth and final point, he turned in level two contraband to a Civil Protection. He's earned even more points after that for cleaning up bloodstains and the like. Finally, he decided, after he became a Loyalist, that he would become a Combine Civil Authority.

IC Character Name:Alexander Kim(technical name Alex Kim)
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.
Alexander Kim lived in City 45 for most of his time under the Combine's rule. Where most people feared and loathed the Combine, Alexander appreciated them. But, he didn't know much better, since he grew up in an abusive family which lead to some mental issues that he really only kept to himself. His emotions were kept bottled up for years, which led to him murdering two men at the age of nineteen because they gave him dirty looks. Alexander thought that the Combine were doing a good thing by killing those who did "wrong"(or at least what he saw as wrong) and putting others in their place. Looking up to them so much, when Civil Protection came around, he found out that they were actually citizens working for the Combine, and has wanted to be a part of it since.
Alexander made attempts to joing in City 45, but was relocated to City 18 for unknown reasons. Upon arrival, Alexander found it difficult making his place in the new society. Most of the people he talked to were against the Combine and put him down every time he talked about wanting to join them. This mostly led to him ceasing conversation with other citizens. A day or so after living in City 18, Alexander found that he could work for the Combine without having to try to apply. This work was mostly him cleaning for them, but he still considered it loyal work. He spent all his time asking Civil Protection for work, and sucking up best he could to get his Loyalist Armband, even when he was just annoying the CPs. Eventually, though, he realized that this wasn't enough, and he wanted more than just working for them. He wanted to join them.
Authority over the citizens was what he really wanted. He also wanted the honor of being considered as part of the Combine. It's all he could ever think about, and then he finally decided he would sign up and attempt to join. Alexander is extremely loyal to the Combine, and has never once gone against them. He has killed before, so he is not scared to kill an unruly citizen if needed. He also believes that no matter what the task, he'll do what the Combine would ask him to do. But most importantly, Alexander believes that by becoming part of Civil Protection, it will make him a better person, physically, emotionally, and mentally, as well as give him a better life in the new world.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Loyal, dedicated, trustworthy, generous, persistent
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I expect that I will do very well as a Civil Authority Officer, I understand that it is a big responsibility to watch citizens and do my duties as a CCA Officer. During most of my time in Cataclysm Gaming HL2 roleplays, I've always looked up to the Combine, and have wanted to be a part of it. It'll be good for me because I really believe I can handle the responsibility and authority, and I will try hard in my work. Mainly, I will not let people get away with doing illegal things, like carrying contraband, causing problems to other citizens, and the like. But definately, I wont hesitate to shoot a minge. On the other hand, I'll help other people out as best as I can when they need it, and I'll try to answer questions when asked. I believe that's mostly what being a CCA Officer is all about.
As for Alexander, he believes it will make him a better person overall. The training will make him stronger and he will be regularly fed, so it will make him better physically. Being in the ranks of the Combine, he will feel great honor and pride, thus making him better emotionally. Having the authority over citizens, and being able to take down anti-citizens and unlawful people, will make him better mentally. Overall, becoming a CCA Officer will improve Alexander most definately, and he will try the best to tackle the responsibility of being a CCA Officer. Overall, he will try his hardest in his work, be very loyal to officers of higher rank, and carry out orders as he's told.
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.
Alexander was born by parents not ready for a child. Most of his childhood years, his family starved him, beat him, and yelled at him for really no reason at all. During school, he kept to himself and never talked to any other kids, never telling anyone about his life at home. By the time Alexander was a teenager, he had no friends and many emotions bottled up. He ended up dropping out of high school, and running away from home. Alexander didn't ever think that there were good people in the world, and mostly saw everyone else as evil and hurtful like his parents. Since Alexander dropped out of high school, and had no friends to live with, he had no job and no place to stay, so he spent majority of his years squatting in old houses or living on the streets begging for money. He murdered two men later when he was nineteen. He was sitting on the curb of a sidewalk and two men across the street were staring at him for several minutes, glaring at him, making faces, and chuckling. Alexander tried to wait for them to leave, but they wouldnt. The anger grew to be too much, so he took an empty bottle, broke it, and killed the two men by lacerating their necks.
He was now spending his life running from the law, up until the Seven Hour War began. When it was all over, he was one of the few survivors and was placed in City 45. Life was better than it ever was for him, as he had a steady job, fair income, a home, rations, and water, all because of the Combine. He loved the Combine for what they had given him, and how there was almost no crime because of them. He spent three years in City 45 appreciating everything he had, and appreciating the Combine. He had thought about joining Civil Protection but never really got around to it, due to a relocation. Many citizens living in City 45 were relocated due to population growth, though citizens were never informed of reasons. Alexander was boarded on a train to City 18 with a few others.
City 18 was not as good as City 45, but it was still decent. He got his rations, he got water, and he had a place to stay. Fair enough. What he loathed about the city was that nobody appreciated the Combine's work. All they did was complain about how they treated the citizens and how they want more rations. Alexander wanted nothing to do with that, so he set out to show the CCA that he wasn't like the others, and that he appreciated the Combine. He did various tasks for CCA Officers as much as possible. Eventually, he realized he wanted to be in their uniform. He wanted the responsibility and authority he never had. He set out to become a Loyalist and gain respect from officers around the city. After working hard, he earned his armband and decided it was time to apply for Civil Protection duties.

John Staton's father was a security guard and John Staton is trying to follow his similar footsteps, by becoming a part of Civil Protection. He is a person who follows and tries to enforce the law. He helps by telling Civil Protection of incidents and such. John Staton wants to be able to control people, teach others what to do and what not to do. John Staton is very good at listening to people's orders/commands, thinks that his good amount of discipline will lead him into a great future.
He also wants to be able to get into action, and be able to do something about law breakers and rebels. John Staton is a man of fighting, not being a pacifist and letting others do the work. He was trained 2011 in using small arms to rifles and sub machine guns. Was trained in surviving in general in war or in a foreign area/territory. John Staton is able to survive in the toughest conditions, whether outgunned, overpowered, or even being wounded. John Staton was a very disciplined person, if you ask him to do something, he will do it. And he also thinks he will make a great addition to the force.
John Staton takes orders and follows them. He has little leadership skill, but a lot of willpower when it comes to a fight. During the seven hour war, John Staton was forced to not fight with the rebels; it was too obvious they would be slaughtered. So he decided to join the Civil Protection after the war and a new civilization has taken over. In 2014 John Staton made the decision of being nicer to the Civil Protection, but until 2016 he didn't start to be completely loyal to them. He was surprised the power Civil Protection has over citizens, so he wanted to join them, and that starts now, with this application.

I as well expect to be trained in my knowledge of being a law enforcer. My character will expect having to go through doing a bunch of tests including survival and be tested on his knowledge of the laws.
I've played a cop in other rps like perp and DARK rp. This is the first time I'm in a HL2 role play server but, I expect to be disciplined and go through harsh courses. My character has been through many tough situations like being treated harshly by Combine but, he went with it. John Staton has nobody to love anymore, no family. He is not mentally weakened when it comes to sad emotions, and memories of his family being killed.
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 he returned to his peaceful and quiet, home and family, in 2012, the year which the Seven hour war took place; he had lost his family, all of his family. John Staton was in a state of shock for years, in depression, with nobody to talk to, because they have died. John Staton was a strong man, physically and mentally, he knew he had to move on and do what’s best for his own survival. John Staton wasn’t cared for, nobody loved him, nobody wanted to help him.
When he made the decision doing what’s best for his survival, he decided to join the Civil Protection. His dad was the main reason of him joining; he was following his footsteps, of being an officer or security guard. John Staton wants to stop into the fighting, stop the violence, the rebelling, and all the other conflict between the Humans and the Combine. John Staton is a peacekeeper, he will and does anything to stop conflict, and enforce rules.
As a kid, John Staton would come with day to work and he would watch him do his job. John Staton loved his dad’s job; he vowed to become part of the government one day. To this day, John Staton has been a very good helpful, whether it has come to reporting a crime or some suspicious activity, to even cleaning the streets and scrubbing off blood stains.

He asked the first thing that came to mind; "Wheres dad?" She said "The metro cops shot him". He cried for days. His mom and Joe went to a hotel and stayed there for 1 week. They both got jobs and they bought a house. The combine showed up again and asked his mother; "Is your son home" She said "yes". The combine barged though the door.

IC Character Name: Frank Dales
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: Well, let's start simply. Frank has always been very patriotic towards the Universal Union, and knows all he needs to really know about them. He has literally cleaned up his act, through sweeping streets, stores and apartments. He has achieved various amounts of Loyalist points through his dediction and friendly-ness to all Civil Protection officers that pass by. He also needs a better way of life, as he has seen how the officers live their own lives. He believes that becoming a fellow officer is like being resurrected from the dead. It opens up a whole new life for people, in a good way. He has given officers help, with his trusty request device, and has cut down on crimes that could have gotten out of hand, such as the citizen who wanted people to fake his death, in order to gain entry into the Nexus and, the mysterious murderer living within the apartments.
Since his arrival into City 18, Frank has made friends with other fellow patriots, such as Jessica Cup, who has recently been whitelisted for the UU and is soon to become a fellow MPF herself. But by friends, he does not mean in a loving relationship way, as he cannot risk breaking a law, and wouldn't want to anyway. Instead, they have become very good friends, and have both seen to avoid trouble at all costs. Fights and such have to to halts thanks to the duo. They see themselves as fellow neighbourhood vigilantes rather than superheroes. Anytime someone has asked them to join an opposing army to the combine, they have immediately turned their heads and refused. So if he were to join, he would only follow orders given to him by a higher authority or a fellow team mate.
The big reason for Frank wanting to be in the Universal Union, is that he has nothing to lose. He would really only benefit from this amazing opportunity rather than lose anything. Frank plans to hopefully reach higher and higher levels of combine authority until he can finally become a part of the Overwatch Transhuman Arm. The Combine have treated him in a manner that he sees as so good, he must return the favour through becoming part of the team. He knows the basics, the advanced and beyond, and is now ready for the (stun) baton to be passed on to him. All he needs now is your consideration towards all his fine efforts that he has shows throughout city 18.
Please detail your characters traits:- Law-abiding, Patriotic, Friendly, Hard-working, Loyal, Trustworthy, Pure
Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character:- I think I can handle the jobs and importance of being in the Civil Protection very well. I have read the whole story of the combine on CombineOverwiki and get the basics and the extras of the combine's way of life. I can see now how I will have to act towards players to create a more realistic roleplay enviroment. OOC wise, if I see mingerunners, I should try to perma kill them to avoid other people losing enjoyment from the RP. I am aware of mobility and audio violation, so they shouldn't be problems for me at all. And finally, I am aware of the levels in seriousness of an incident. Level 1, being not so bad, to Level 4, being a serious incident.
Frank Dales has seen what the combine do in action, and gets the jist of it. Also (in RP this happened.), a fellow officer handed Frank a pamphlet telling him the full details of everything he needs to know to join the CCA. He is aware of rules of punishment and other things in the world of a CP. Frank knows how to work on patrol and in the Nexus. No matter where you put him, he can always work well. So in all, I think I would work very well in the enviroment of a Civil Protection officer, and would fit in like a glove on a hand. I am aware of what to do in some situations (Tell citizen to face wall, tell citizen to apply then, prepare to recieve civil judgement or .//Resist?. If they say yes, roll out of 100, if no then prepare to recieve civil judgment)
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:- Frank Dales can not really say his life was perfect. Without a doubt, at times, it has been the complete opposite. Growing up, before the Black Mesa Incident, Frank was repeatedly bullied by his brother, Michael. At one stage, Michael even nearly killed him, attempting to throw him down a well. Luckily, his sister, Jennifer has looked after him, while his parents have seen him and Jennifer as bad children and Michael as an angel. When Frank became 14, he moved away from his family and bought a brand new apartment in New York. 5 years later, the 7 hour war began, and Frank was very vigilant towards the Combine. He asked the Civil Protection if he could meet up with his family, to which they gladly excepted. When he met up with his family, his father told him that his brother ran off and joined the resistance. Frank, however did not care, as he knew this would get him killed, which was only doing to him what he did to his brother. His father, Darren, was shipped out to City 8. His mother, Victoria, and his sister went out to City 45. Frank went to City 18 after 16 years of remaining in his hometown. His brother still lives to this day in the outlands. When Frank arrived into City 18, he met up with a man known as Charles Freeman and two women, Zoey and Jessica Cup. Jessica stood in the street as people tormented her for her name. He told Jessica of how she seemed nice and her name wasn't ridiculous, and soon became the best of friends with her. Charles, his other friend, became very tetchy. Frank had found out that Charles suffered from chronic depression, to which Charles suddenly threatened him. Charles later apoligised to Frank, telling him his relationship with Zoey was derailed. Zoey had run away and Charles raped a woman. Frank's relationship with Charles became awkward, but stayed strong as a friendship. One day, Frank walked into his apartment to find a note from Charles, stating that he needed to leave, and had gone to the outlands. Frank held it all the tears he could, until he found a letter in his letterbox. It was from his father saying that he was surviving, but very ill. Frank sat down and cried for a while, realising that he had nothing to lose. He was ready to put all the patriotism that he showed to the Combine into action. He had decided he was ready to make a living for himself to pass on to his family. And now he is ready to prove himself.

You see, I was waiting for the clerk in a store to give me my book order, when I man came in and took the cash register, to apparently pay for eye surgery for his blind girlfriend. When the clerk yelled "Where's the register?" a Civil Protection officer came in and asked who commited the offence. The burglars accomplices pointed the finger at me. Several of my friends tried to explain to the officer how another man did it, but the officer did not listen. Frank was detained for nearly three cycles, but it was only three minutes. Another officer, who was in NOVA told the officers of how he witnessed the whole thing. The criminal got away, but Frank still got released. It was a close situation where Frank was proved innocent in the end.
Do you regularly eat Combine Civil Authority Issued Rations?: Well of course. After all it is the only thing that has such amazing taste in the entire city.

Why do you want to join the Combine Civil Authority?: Well, I would like to have an even better way of life than I do now. I like my life, but I know that the life of the CCA is a lot better. Also, I've seen how dangerous it can be to live on the same street as some of the hooligans in City 18, and I can add to the force keeping these fools from destroying our way of life. My final reason would be that I would like to recieve tokens more often, as rations are hardly open, so getting tokens is very difficult.

OOC Name: Rory Phillips
IC Character Name: Thomas Girotto
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. My first reason why i want to restart joining the Combine Civil Authority is to finally retrieve a fresh start as a recruit. I never knew how the Combine Civil Authority worked at first and was just about brain dead on the canon itself. UNIT 723 (My old Combine Civil Authority Unit) had a serious problem during the last couple of days within having his white-list. I had yet not to remember why i had made the fatal mistake on the UNIT, but i do very well remember what consequences i had received as of my punishment informing me once again and at last about my fatal mistake that day.
Though i am stressed about my answers and the response to this application... So on half of the statement on my mistake, let me tell you why I/my character wants to join. I have looked closely at the canon after making my professor character authorization application... The canon struck me into why Combine Civil Authority are being recruited as human. I can see very clearly about the whole brainwashing and training as a Combine Civil Authority, but now i am just getting off topic. I've always wanted to go back to Half Life 2 Roleplay ever since the Outlands Roleplay has been very quiet for the past weeks. Lets get started.
My character has been afraid of the Combine Civil Authority the first day he had arrived in C17... he was relocated on his first day apparently to C18 due to population and his location. Being afraid of the Combine Civil Authority, he was only 30 years old and he was scared of the Combine Civil Authority. He always was in his apartment and was never outside talking to people and never liked the outside because of the Civil Protection. Rations were mandatory for him though. He walked slowly, straight up, a little bit faster than his usual walk, and ignored everyone around him not talking and looking at them. He would make everything so easy for the Combine Civil Authority. When he applies, he holds his card up and reads the card for the Combine Civil Authority. He knew Combine Civil Authority were never angry at him, they were never happy at him at all either... until he decided to read a paper... "Be loyal, be kind, and be faithful to the Combine Civil Authority. Become a loyalist, become a Civil Workers Union, become a Combine Civil Authority. Help your city!". Loyalists... that's the one he wanted to be.
Day after day, Thomas never walked like a drill sergeant anymore, he never even stayed in his apartment as much anymore. Any disturbance or danger in his area... he would practice requesting in for Civil Protection help. At first he felt like he really did not need to... then again, he was loyal. From here on. He smiles at the Combine Civil Authority even if they weren't looking at him. He used positive voices, he obeyed just about every order. He tried to make the Combine Civil Authority happy. 12 Breen's water later and way too many supplements eaten... His life continues. Within being a loyalist. He feels as if he can take the next step and protect the city. He has had more experience requesting. Now he will respond and obey, he is ready to be a Combine Civil Authority member!
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy) Trustworhy, sensitive, positive, good listener, lawful.
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 know me very well and help me progress through my procedures as if it's training or a request for help. In training, i expect the Combine Civil Authority to point out my mistakes and be polite at certain points to me. I expect the Combine Civil Authority to give me lecture when i need it. In other words, i expect the CCA to tell me what i am doing that is wrong and let me know why and how i should stop it from happening. I expect the Combine Civil Authority to follow a rule they shall always follow. Obey orders by your fellow Combine Civil Authority members, meaning if i need help for a citizen who is a non-compliant, then i will expect some help if requested. I will and can do the same for others as well.
I expect to have a fun time in the Combine Civil Authority, and have it not to be a hassle. I wish not to argue over things and wish not to fight over things. I will be fair to the Combine Civil Authority and polite, i expect them to do that as well. Ranks above me will receive salutes from me at all time as intended. I will follow any order and anything aside from orders as given and received. I expect the Combine Civil Authority to keep track of just about almost every single unit including me. I cannot remain untrained and unnoticed for 2 months as happened in 261 about 4 months ago. I also expect the Combine Civil Authority to give me chances, as if i am doing something for the first time, i might need a chance to catch up on real time breaching, or maybe second chances on a mistake i have done.
My character feels as if he can help in the Combine Civil Authority and be good enough. He thinks he is ready for the challenge to protect the City of City 18 and work his way up to be a great Unit to the Universal Union and to the Combine Civil Authority.
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. It wasn't long ago until my character was born on May 15. 1986 in Georgia Atlanta. As a child, he had a step father who took care of him, and his mother who lived by herself. As a teenager, Thomas always got in to fights and car accidents. Which led him to a 500 dollar fine, and a trip to military school for 5 months. Over the 5 months, he learned way too many things about humans... They can be more negative than ever... It's just government issues that enrage most adults, so why not just obey and follow. He unfortunately knew he was just a little teenager, disobeying the laws... Knowing that he had broken so many rules, he just started to realize that maybe obeying rules is fine to do, because one day he can be an officer of the law. Working his way to college, criminal justice was not as good for him as he thought it was. It was boring and harder than ever. Even though he didn't want to be in the law enforcement, he knew maybe one day that the law enforcement would be stronger and better than ever, and maybe he would join.
He was about 28 years old until the portal storm started arriving. It was all over the papers, the news, and the television. Though Thomas didn't really know about Black Mesa itself, he knew the disaster was worse than ever as the portal storms came to earth. Thomas started running to the subway in order to be safe when the portal storms started to form, and the Xen were being summoned to the earth. By the time they got to the stations, the doors started closing. There they stayed for an hour or two, until something happened. Thomas was shocked at what was happening to the people in front of him. The combine rushed in lining each one on the walls, transporting them to the drop-ship as the Combine took care of the young and old. Thomas was getting scared as he looked at the combine even more, knowing where they must have came from. The portal storms still went on and on. Thomas's bag was destroyed as it was taken away, some people had bags filled with non-contribution items. Even before, the combine never knew anyone they were bringing to City 17 with. Arriving to City 17 retrieving his citizen suit and card, he was afraid of the combine looking around at other innocent citizens. The 7 hour war was then over with Dr. Breen, being the leader of Black Mesa, surrendering the earth to the Xen. His mom and dad had no contact, and he didn't even want contact at all... he wanted to stay away from the combine, from the citizens, and the trouble. Things pretty much stayed that way until Thomas saw very unsuspectingly about being loyal, and what possibly can happen if you proceed to be loyal. Thomas knew what to do instead of sitting in his apartment almost turning insane, he needed to be outside, he needed to help out the Combine Civil Authority instead of fear them. He only knew maybe someday he would only seem too suspicious to the Combine Civil Authority and possibly become an un-loyal citizen. He only lives on to his priority of what he can do to help out the Combine Civil Authority. He has decided to take the next step, Thomas Girroto will take his chance to become apart of the Combine Civil Authority.

He would radio in for help if stuff gets a little bit off hand. He would also ask people questions if they are doing something unusual/unrplike and why they did it.
Joe Plower would want to be a CCA member because he would not disobey the commander/cheif rules. He would tell People directions If they are new to the server and need to get places (even though Its not a big map) he would not give directions to get to the D2. He would
ask people question like (Whats the guys name that Ran?, Where did he go to? .Ect.) If they passed the D2 and he was headed that way. He would bring back up incase the *Minge* try to kill him. He would listen to the person who would say if there was a person/group in the D2/Nexus if pass unsuspected. he would kill anybody who he sees go on the catwalk.

Joe's able to warn a group of people then tell them to isolate( as someone did to me). Joe's able to sell rations when needed. Joe's able to guard the terminal saying "you've already bought one leave""If you've already bought one Leave". He am aware of the levels in seriousness of an incident.

When Joe Plower was a young boy, the combine took him, and his family to city 16 to be citizens. Once he arrived they took him and his parents and separated them. They took them to board the train to Nova Prospect. They took him into a cell to ask him a few questions. Joe looked through the doorway to see a man who looked a bit familiar. The combine saw the man and shut the door. They continued to ask questions. After he was done he walked out and tried to board the train to Nova Prospect. The metro cops shoved him back I said "My parents are in there!" The metro cops said "Move it!" He said "No!" He grabbed my wrist and took me to a jail cell. Joe spent 7 years in prison. After the 7 years he was released on his 18th birthday. He saw his mom. He thought she coming to see him but she was forced to get out of city 16. He went to the metros cops and asked "Where are you taking her" the metro cop said "City 4". He ran off and went to the train before the combine caught him. The doors closed as he found his mother. He asked the first thing that came to mind; "Wheres dad?" She said "The metro cops shot him". He cried for days. His mom and Joe went to a hotel and stayed there for 1 week. They both got jobs and they bought a house. The combine showed up again and asked his mother; "Is your son home" She said "yes". The combine barged though the door. It was loud and it all happened so fast. Thats when it happened. They took him and recruited him to be a metro cop. Once he was there he saw the familiar guy from the doorway 7 years ago. He asks him "what are you doing here?" He said "you dont need to know." So they took Joe to Dr.James Wallis; The Mayor of City 4. Once he was there, he went on the train to city 18. Luckily the combine didnt get him once the train took off, he took off his metro cop uniform and put on his old citizen uniform. From there he walked out then Started a whole new life.

When korvak became 23 When the combine invaded. The combine won in 7 hours. Korvak had admired them ever since that. Korvak was herded into city 18.

IC Character Name: Mark Frost
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.
My character, always had a straight mind when it came to justice, and still does to this day. Before the Seven Hour War, he would often take a look at the old justice system and how it worked. He thought that trials in court took too long to prosecute suspects, and that even in dire consequences such as riots, the police would often be too incompetent to respond with right course of action.
Then the Seven Hour War took place, and the combine established the CCA. It didn’t take long for Mark to notice the difference between the old and new policing system. Civil Protection units we’re quick to respond to the problem; with more than efficient means, the criminal’s charges and prosecution were also immediately carried out. It was easy for Mark to notice that the Combine Civil Authority would be; if not the sole, then one of the major factors that would lead humanity back on track.
Now, Mark had seen a new authority take control of humanity, and the justice they brought on to them. He knew that their cause was just, and recognised their motives for the greater good. He too wanted to be a part of this elite organisation. Changing from his old, pre-combine habits of watching the ugly side of humanity spread throughout the media. He now actively worked to keep an eye out for it, and would report it to his local Protection team, slowly making his way towards loyalist status, and then the CCA.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Loyal, Robust, Forward thinking, Disciplined, Selflessly committed, Bold.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
In the CCA I expect to be one of the many cogs in a grand clock, not only representing the Union, but the community as well. Working with the rest of the union, I will be participating in a lot of roleplaying, widespread across the server. Ranging from the CCA duties such as: Ration distribution, Patrols, Sweeps and Detainee transport, as well as the minor and major events that may occur in between. Throughout all this commotion, character development will have more than enough time to blossom and with the experiences to come there are a vast amount of paths my character could take.
As well as all the roleplay that comes with the Union, some may also consider such a position as one of responsibility. You could end up being the life saver who just taught a new player the basics, ensuring him a pleasant time on the server. Without the rank or powers of the admin/staff, the player you just advised may now see you in a senior role for the kind welcoming and advice you gave him.
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.
Mark ‘Leo’ Frost was born in to a working class family as the only child, in London, England on the 23rd March 1987. He was a bastard, as his father wasn’t there to stick around after getting his mother pregnant and taking off without a word. Still this didn’t hinder his upbringing; he had a caring mother who saw him through Primary and Secondary school, with above average grades and plenty of friends.
After he finished secondary school in 2004 he applied for his nearest fire brigade unit, meeting all the requirements necessary. It only took a few months before he had finished application, and his primary training, before he was sent to his unit as a fully trained fireman. He had a good career going for him; he was a star model, able to fulfil his duty, decisions and actions were swift and bold. But then late 2004 came.
Unknown to Mark, the Black Mesa facility had finally come to a nuclear and abrupt end. But then the side effects of the resonance cascade occurred, and the portal storms began appearing around earth. Mark and his unit were called out to the suburbs alongside police forces, to quell a fire started by an arsonist during the events of the portal storms. When mark arrived at the scene, he saw the arsonist holding what must have been one of the inhabitants of the blazing house at gun-point. Disgust. Mark was disgusted by any man who thought actions like these would bring about anything beneficial. The police shepherded the fire fighters away from the crime scene until they were able to safely access the house, which was now, starting to fall apart. Mark heard a gunshot, and immediately the fire fighters were called up to extinguish the fire. Mark was the first up to answer the call, making his way in full sprint with the nozzle end of a hose to douse the flames, taking a quick glance at the now deceased arsonist, who had turned out to be a young lad, lying there, face down on the floor.
Time wasn’t easy to keep with such a hands on job like Marks, and his extraordinary concentration on the job was second to none, which was why he wasn’t so surprised when he had come to realise that there wasn’t anyone to be seen when he came back to swap over the hose. Anyone but the deceased young lad. He made his way over to one of the few fire trucks stationed on the curb, before hearing an odd noise behind him, coming from the corpse. It was at this moment, Mark made the first of his many to come, other-worldly visitors. An odd creature, with pale like skin, and four little legs, had perched on to the head of the corpse. Mark stared in astonishment, until the corpse, became living again. He was petrified. He was frozen, back up against the side of the fire truck, urine had run down his legs and became soaked up on the front of his trousers. Now it had become clear why the few armed officers who made their way towards Mark and the creature, were not in plain vision earlier. “This” whatever it was to Mark, was occurring throughout the world now. The two officers charged towards the walking corpse with riot shields and batons, knocking it to the ground, whilst a third officer grabbed a hold of Mark, and got him back to safe ground.
2004, the portal storms, now a worldwide phenomena involving alien creatures using these portals as a method of travel to earth. No scientist could describe the events that occurred in 2004, no one could. It was beyond human understanding, as the species would soon learn, of a higher authority. After the events of 2004, Mark quit his job and went back home to look after his Mother, who had now became fairly old. Life compared to Marks earlier stage, wasn’t as fast-paced and dangerous, but relaxed and peaceful. Until 2009.
War. The seven hour war took place. Another alien race known as the combine had used the portal storms, to launch their assault on earth, which was a quick and decisive one. Mark and his mother were both astonished, bound to the TV for whatever news they could get. But there time together would have to come to an end, unknown to them both at the time, the combine didn’t think much of the elderly. As the combine established control of earth, and set up the major cities, Mark and his mother we’re separated by the combine, indefinitely. His mothers last words were an explanation of his middle name. Leo, the Lion, the symbol of courage. She told mark to seek courage and stay strong throughout the daunting task of finding his place in this new world, and he would go to hell and back to do it.
It’s now the year of 2016. Mark is now in city 18, and has been living under the Universal Unions new world order, for 7 years. The Combine Civil Authority has been formed, and there are no more youth’s running around setting fires. Or aliens wreaking havoc upon earth. Mark understood what to do with his new found courage. He would become a traitor to those not able to understand the glory of the Union, and take on the task that is set upon those who wish to change the course of humanity. To deliver first hand judgement on to those who would try to disturb the first ever, truly formed, world peace. By joining the CCA.

IC Character Name:Alex Marx
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.
Alex Marx has wanted to help the world in some way, he was going to attempt to become a military officer after college. This was caused by growing up in a troubled neighborhood. It wasn’t technically a bad neighborhood but it was beginning to be troubled by a gang only known as
“The Red Saints”
Not only did he try to put up with this, he eventually did something about it, getting away with it somehow. Throughout his late adolescent years he had been getting average marks on his school grades. Still somehow he felt like he could do even more to help people. Not just his own neighborhood, but everybody.
The Resonance Cascade stopped his plans for a military profession. He was moved into the city and tried to keep the place safe, although he never joined the police, instead he relied on being a vigilantly. Once the Combine arrived and the 7 hour war ended as quickly as it began, he began to forget his past thanks to brainwashing and began worshiping the combine as the perfect peacekeepers of earth.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy) Lawful to critical points, obedient even before brainwashing, Cruel if he believes it is what the law requires, Witty.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
Me: I expect serving for the CCA will help me widen my horizons on the role playing front. Being on the other side of the oppression would bring a since of dominance. Following strict rules might be a downside but it in my opinion will help me get better at Role Playing.
Alex: For Alex he is expecting to be able to help keep law and order on the streets. While he is unaware of the brain washing he is receiving, he embraces it as a factor of him getting better at his profession. He knows that in the Civil Protection he will have to follow the rules to a T and go through training drills for a while before he can be deemed a worthy Civil Protection unit.
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.Born in a nice neighborhood when he was a baby, Alex was brought up to believe in law and order especially at his most sensitive age. The way he was told he believed that Law should be maintained by any means necessary. This would be a component to his later life more than anyone would have expected.
Throughout his childhood and adolescents he and other kids were tormented by a gang. This was a contribution to wanting to help others…no matter the cost. When he was 18 and in his senior year of high school, he gathered a group of friends who wanted the same thing he did. They gathered a small armament from their parents who all had some kind of weapon to defend themselves.
When the gang approached their normal tormenting spot, the rag tag teen militia opened fire. It was horrible as the gang had its own weapons, everyone either died or was crippled…all but Alex. He had survived thanks to his quick wits to hide behind something right before the gang started shooting.
When the cops showed up at the scene of the shootout, Alex was already gone. He ran away as he didn’t want to deal with the cops. He came back a few days later, saying he got heard the gunshots and had hid in a house down the block until the cops were done with the search as it blocked off the path to his house. His parents bought his story and life continued like it did, Alex however was changed from seeing everyone dying in front of him. He was…colder then he used to be, although it was not noticed by anyone not even himself.
Years later, during his college years was when the Resonance Cascade and the destruction of black mesa occurred. He and everyone else at the college was moved into the city and settled there, this all occurred during the very end of his senior year. He had to drop the rest of his education plans as there was no way to learn otherwise at the time. Most of the adults had taken up arms to protect the city.
When the seven hour war occurred Alex hid for the duration of it. The combine had stormed the building he was in and dragged them all off to city 72(Houston Texas) where they all were doomed to stay for their lives, most of them at least. He was forced to board a train after living in city 72 for a few years, where he learned to respect,obey, and help the combine in any way possible. The train sent him to City 18 where he resides even now in 2016,finally deciding to aspire to help the city maintain the peace.

IC Character Name:
Rett Mason
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.
Rett Mason would only like to see the world get better. He thinks living under the rule of the combine is something we can live with. He sees it being better than living under the unlawful, thug like barbarians that call them selves rebels. He sees the rebels as nothing but thugs. He is sick of walking through the apartment block and getting mugged by anti-citizens. Rett feels that if he where given some power and a stun stick he could help change the city for the better.
Rett feels that we could use this gift we where given for another chance for humanity to improve its self under such a well developed race such as the combine. He thinks that if they can do this well for themselves, maybe we can learn something from them. Rett would like to see the rebels snuffed out completely and he would like to help the combine improve everyone's lives. He is impressed by how strong they are, they took the earth in only 7 hours. He is also impressed by there technological advances of there cities and equipment.
Rett was not a popular person as he grew up. People often picked on him for being quiet and having a different name then most people, They would torment him with out end. Another factor that led Rett to who he is now is he grew up in extreme poverty. His parents were not bad people, neither was he. They could just not get a break in life, So Rett went many nights hungry. Rett enjoys the meals every day that CCA distribute in rations.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Rett is a very intelligent, but quiet man. Rett is a quick learner and he is very observant. Rett can hold a vendetta for a long time however, which depending on the situation could be taken as good or bad. However Rett is a pretty good person for the most part.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
To be honest Rett has no idea what to expect for sure, But he hopes to make a good Civil Protection unit. He is looking forward to a higher status and doing his part to help push society forward. Rett will enjoy the ability to hold a little bit of power in the city. Rett is also looking forward to being a hero and stopping any anti-citizens in the city and making it a safer place for the citizens that would like to have a better life.
I also have no idea what to expect, I have only been on the stun side of the stun stick so far. I am looking forward to whole new RP experiences and opportunities.This will give me a brand new chance at a new type of person to be. I will also enjoy having a bit of power in the city, and be taking in a whole new side of the story. Also I think patrol and guard duty, like at the train station or at ration distribution looks like a lot of fun.
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.
Rett does not know exactly what his birth date is, Why think about that kind of thing when there is much more to worry about? However if Rett had to say a number he would guess in his late 20's early 30's. Rett grew up in small town in the united states. Rett is the only son of Peter and Mary Mason. Rett grew up in a very hard situation for a young boy to grow up in. His parents where not bad people by any means, They where just very unlucky when it came to breaks in life. Rett went many nights with out food or running water in his home.
At about the age of 12 Rett's Father Peter was killed by a man breaking into there home, trying to loot the few things they had owned that they spent there whole life working for. Rett remembers the look in the mans eyes as he shot his father and took almost everything. It was almost as if the man was happy. From that point on Rett vowed that he would always earn whatever he wanted, He promised to never take anything from anyone.
Rett's school life was very hard. Rett had no friends, he sat alone wherever he went. The other kids often bullied him for not having a dad anymore and being poor. Nobody except his mother would listen to him that he was being bullied. Rett got up and went every day even knowing what would happen anytime he did go. Rett took his hate for everyone and used it to fuel him making perfect grades hoping one day he would be in charge of them.
The two kids that bullied Rett the most where named Kenny and Brandon. They would beat him to a pulp every day. They had a rebellious attitude, they would fight with the teachers all the time. One day Rett got a new book. 1984 by George Orwell. It was his favorite book he had ever read, although not because of the human will fighting authority. It was because he imagined the bullies as the citizens and him as one of the "Thought Police." However The two boys saw him reading the book alone in his " Happy place" near a small river behind the school. The two boys took the book and tossed it into the river, destroying the book. Rett went in after it, but Kenny, one of the boys held him down trying to drown him. Rett ended up Kicking the boy and running to a public place for safety, never seeing the book again.
Going forward a bit, after the seven hour war. Rett currently lived in city 11. Rett was one day walking down the road holding his rations after just reviving them. When all of a sudden hears a few voices, Talking bad about the combine. He sticks his head in and sees a face he could never forget. It was Kenny from his child hood. Rett saw this a perfect chance for revenge. He went straight to a CP unit and reported it. Seeing Kenny get taken away, probably to be amputated based off how much he was talking, felt really good. He then realized he wants to snuff out more rebels like this. Maybe one day he could be the one that gets to take care of the rebels.
So Rett went to work very hard to get his loyalist armband, He swept streets, reported anti-citizens, and anything else the CCA asked of him. One day a CP unit saw him working very hard and decided to give him the arm band. After a while Rett went and got a application to fill out. So Rett went home and got right to work on the application.
