Adam Henmon's Civil Authority ApplicationOOC Name: Caramel Racoon
IC Character Name: Adam Henmon
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 worked in Law Enforcement long before the Invasion of the Combine. He had enjoyed his job very much as well as took it very seriously. During his time working as a Police Officer he received several commendations as well as progressed through ranks quickly. He planned on working in Law Enforcement until he retired and was strongly disappointed after the invasion had occurred and he had lost his job as well as his home. He had been skilled with several weapons as well as tactically intelligent. He had always loved the feeling of punishing those who disobeyed and feels he'd get the same satisfaction out of Civil Protection.
His life seems empty now without that feeling of purpose. He misses the feeling of a snug uniform and a holstered weapon at his side, and he stares at Civil Protection Officers with envy every time they pass by. He wonders what it would be like to have a job similar to his old one. He hopes that by becoming an Officer it'll fill that void in his life. One of the things that fueled him to want to become an officer is the day he had a lengthy conversation with one. He asked the officer what it was like the day he was accepted and he responded, "Probably one of the only exciting things that have happened to me in a long time. I'm glad I'm one of them now because it makes me feel powerful." That gave him the enormous urge to become one.
When he received his Business Permit he hoped it would make life interesting but it made things seem worse. He sits behind the counter everyday bored, waiting for customers to come around. Over time the boredom became so bad that beating people with Stun Batons started to seem appealing. He wonders everyday what it'd be like to enter the Nexus out of free will. When he was brought inside to meet a City Administrator, the doctor encouraged him to join the Officers. With someone of authority pushing him to do so he felt it was for the best and became eager to do it. Over time his urge becomes worse and worse with the Officers making contact with him regularly. The idea has almost become an addiction for him and it's starting to become unbearable. He'll do almost anything to become an officer.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy) Adam is a Trustworthy, Loyal man who can be very patriotic and sometimes even Nationalistic. He's Intelligent, Kind, and Caring towards people close to him. He's very Respectful and follows any orders given to him by superiors. He is a quick learner and tends to research interesting topics. All of this put aside he is a little distant from strangers and even poeple he knows.
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 expect Combine Civil Authority to be quite entertaining. I've wanted to be a part of it since I first joined the server. I see them walking around the streets and wonder what it must be like to know you have power over practically everyone else around you. I am a little worried about there being poor role play with citizens because of minges but I'm willing to look past all of that. The time that I entered the Nexus I found it quite neat, organized and overall kind of cool. I believe I'll enjoy roleplaying as an Officer more then as some boring old shop owner and I look forward to having that feeling of power over the people around me. I think that it'll be fun and interesting. I've always wanted to join some form of Law Enforcement and I think this will give me something like what I'm looking for.
I think that this will give my character that sense of meaning again was he's joined. I feel that he'll enjoy his new line of work and that he'll take it very seriously. I believe that he'll progress through ranks quickly because he'll follow all orders he'll receive as soon as he receives them. I think he'll enjoy Combine Civil Authority very much as it'll seem like he's doing what he's comfortable doing. I do believe he'll be disoriented at first because he's been running a general store for a while and it'll a bit of time getting used to it again. He may or may not enjoy being around some of the other Officers and will probably try to stay independent as best he can without making it seem like he's doing anything suspicious. Overall I believe Adam will strongly enjoy becoming a Civil Protection Officer.
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 child Adam had always been very happy and very playful. He had two older brothers and Uncle who lived with them. He was very close to the younger of his two older siblings, Nathan. He looked up to him as saw him as his role model. He would always follow him around, jumping on him, begging for piggy back rides and in general just being a lively little child. His mother worked as a secretary for a large business called “Stellin Corporations” and his father was a Police Officer. His oldest brother, Michael, avoided his younger brother but didn't nessicarily dislike them. He was the quieter type and preferred to stay in his room the majority of his time. Adam grew up with a good education and was on his way to a fairly good life. When he turned twelve he was in his bedroom doing homework when he received a phone call from his father. He told him that his mother and Nathan had just been in a car accident. Adam's Uncle Joe, his mother's brother, took him to the hospital. Unfortunately when they arrived it was too late. Nathan and his mother were dead.
By the time Adam was a teenager he was still going through a long stage of depression from his mother and brother's deaths. He distanced himself from the rest of the family and slowly began to distance himself from his closest friends. When he turned fifteen his older brother Michael was nineteen and joined the Police Forced with his father. With the majority of his family out of the house and Uncle being a constant drunk he began to try and make some friends. With most of his old connections lost due to his own sorrow he looked to neighbors and people from nearby towns for company. Although he made some friends he didn't find it very easy to make many and felt that what he had was enough. Time passed on and when he turned seventeen another tragedy occurred. Adam's Uncle had been at a bar one day and gotten into a fight with another man. They were both drunk and the man Joe attacked drew a gun on him and shot him several times in the chest. At his funeral Adam found himself rather calm. He realized that he didn't know his uncle very well and never really loved him. He moved on from this and graduated high school with decent grades.
As a now young adult, Adam attended Rowan University in South Jersey for six years before graduating. Throughout college he pondered what job he would take on after he graduated but came up with nothing. One day his brother Michael visited him during his last year in college to tell him that he was going to join the military. Adam wasn't at all shocked by this and congratulated his brother on being brave enough to make this his goal. It was later that same day that he decided he would follow his father's and brother's paths and join Law Enforcement. After he graduated from college he immediately signed up for Police Force and underwent the proper training he required. Once he graduated from training he was on highway patrol for 3 years before an incident occurred. He was chasing a man who had performed a hit and run and ditched his car about a mile from the where he hit the woman. Adam saw the man running and immediately left his vehicle to pursue him. On the way after the man he was forced to cross through a backyard was attacked by the dog they left out there at night. When the dog lunged at him he managed to throw it aside, however it unfortunately hit a bird bath and broke several ribs. Later after they caught the man the owner of the dog pressed charges for his pets wounding. The DA suspended his badge for 60 days because of the law suit and he was forced to stay in his apartment looking for a new temporary job. During the time of his suspension was when the Combine had invaded the planet, taking over in the seven hours and had begun to move people to new locations. He, as well as others, was placed in City 45 not too long after the attack. He now sits lives in City 45, hoping to join Combine Civil Authority.
