Zaughi Smith's Civil Authority ApplicationOOC Name: Zaughi
IC Character Name: Zaughi 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.He wishes to join the Combine Civil Authority to keep the citizens in City 45 safe, or he atleast wants them the illusion that they are safe. What led him to this descision is the rebellion attack on District 1. He saw what kind of beasts they were, for they cared not for whom they killed, citizen, Civil Protection or Combine. He saw them as a threat to the entire city.
He understands questions like the fact that if the rebels get in, then they may destroy the Thumpers, thus letting the burrowing Headcrabs and Antlions into City 45. And without a Nexus and a City Administrator, who would make sure that the city wasn't overrun by crime and scum?
So inevitably he applied the Civil Protection in the hopes of adding one more percent to keeping the revolutionists out of civilized society. The choice in his eyes is clear. The Combine are the future.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)Pure to the core, has never touched contraband and reported ANY crime he has witnessed, Assists in finding rebels and anti-citizens in whatever dark holes and corners they hide. If ordered by a Combine or Civil Protection unit, he will carry out that order immediately, even at the cost of his life. He finds himself indifferent among the Combine.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.Joining the CCA will be a drastic change in responsibility for my character. He will be taking the weight of the safety of every citizen in the City onto his shoulders. He will have to cut his ties to anything that he could have done on Old Earth as a human being. This would be like changing his entire race, and betraying his own. He would give up his freedom, or what's left of it.
I believe my character will be able to handle it. He did when he rebels attacked. He kept calm and made sure they were disposed of. Combine Civil Authority also has it's benefits in the eyes of my character, but what he does not know is that his entire mind would be reprogrammed in the eyes of the Combine. He understands that he will recieve better living conditions than Citizens and Union Civil Workers, and that he will be treated with respect among the Combine. Although, in his mind the Combine is best choice 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.Zaughi Smith had woken up in the train station on a bench in City45. He could remember one thing and that was that he had been relocated. Again. The portal event was bad enough, he wondered why he had to move to a different city so frequently. He noticed a discarded can lying on the floor, so he picked it up and tossed it into a nearby trash can. Unknown to him, an APEX unit had observed this, and had thought "Finally, a citizen who DOES something for the City". Zaughi continued through the train station and when asked to apply, did so right away. He opened the doors, which opened to the, what he saw beautiful Combine architecture of City45. He had always wondered what the barricades were made from. As he walked into the square of District 1, he saw a citizen shoved up against a wall by a Civil Protection officer. The citizen resisted judgement and attacked the officer. Zaughi ran towards the man and held him back and allowed the officer to tie him. The officer nodded towards Zaughi and began to drag the man into the Nexus. He felt quite happy with himself for assisting the Combine in stopping a crime. He gained Loyalist status through cleaning up District 1. He also earned three points by cleaning the entire District 2 Hardpoint. He was given a Loyalist Armband by a High Command officer for this. Now glad, he moved into District 6 after applying with an officer first. On his way through, he heard loud noises and clanking coming from inside the bar. He listened closer, and heard a man with a booming voice speak about a rebellion. Zaughi knocked on the door and entered, deciding to learn of their plans before reporting it. He learned that the rebels were armed with knives and 9mm pistols, and were going to attack using brute force instead of stealth against to Combine forces in City 45 and attempt to take over District 1 in one hour. Zaughi left and reported it to an officer. Not only thirty minutes later, he passed a blockade of Civil Protection officers and a Combine Overwatch Soldier protecting the Hardpoint. As the rebels began to pour out, he watched as they engaged eachother in the streets. The Combine had driven in an Armored Personnel Carrier full of Combine Overwatch Soldiers, which ended the combat with the rebels. This is when he saw the righteousness of the Combine. Then he decided that he would sign up.
