Devan McGullen's Civil Authority ApplicationOOC Name: =ExG= Sexy Frog
IC Character Name: Devan McGullen
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.Devan McGullen wants to join the Combine Civil Authority force for many reasons for the sake of not limiting it to one. His primary reason is the conditionings his father instilled in him from a astonishingly early age which makes him in a way subconsciously obey those who are in command. The CCA themselves, being the primary influence of City 45, he would obey them from the rank of recruit to Sector Commander. He feels the best way to serve these officers he deems as protectors is to join amongst their ranks for the better of himself and the better of his beloved City 45. His conditioning has always caused him to look up to his superiors like that of a child looking up to their father or other inspirational elder so a sense of inspiration by the daily tasks of the CCA is also a factor in his wishing to join.
He also has a sense of justice in a way as he wishes nothing more than to help his community and the people within it. He believes the most effective method would be to join the force and help to actively shape his city in which he does indeed like, maybe not for the people itself but for the officers if not anything else as he feels they are honorable and brave and Devan believes these are the qualities needed to make a difference and so he is desperate for these qualities to grow within him and he can use them for his choices of helping the city better itself. He also wants the chance to be rid of the scum from the streets due to his first arrival he met the most unruly citizens and thus concluded that was not life for him and more than anythingÂ…he wanted them put away!
Ever since he was a child he wanted to be a doctor or something within the medical field but since he had not free rein over his life he was stuck as a business man and was quite unhappy with his profession. Once he came to the city, all that changed, he started from scratch as one of the common rabble and prayed for a job in medicine. He heard the CCA, however, had a medical division called “Nova” and was deeply interested as he believed his prayers had been answered and so he went about asking units. As he gathered more and more information his mind was finally becoming clear on what he himself wanted for the first time in years, he would submit his application post haste.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)Obidient, loyal, willing to prove self, eager to help the Union
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.Honestly, I have an oh-one unit in the CCA already, I know what to expect there but as far as my character goes, he is clueless. I expect for him it will be a challenge and I expect that higher up will put him to the test. Should he fail at his tasks he would most likely be disserviced and maybe even be off world relocated if he screws up bad enough. Since he wants nothing more to help the cause he dedicated his new life to he will try his best to climb through the CCA ranks and go about the day to day life. His mind, past skills, and body will be totally put to the test as he is initaiated into the force and is given orders for the frist time since he was a child with his father.
Devan McGullen is a loyal man due to his fathers conditioning so as far as orders, no matter how much hates what he has to do, he will do it. However for me, even though I know what to expect and have a high ranking unit I will be sure not to act like a hardass cause I know the do's and don't of HL2rp. Being a hardass recruit with a man who has no experiance in violence what so ever is a total no no. I also expect this to be rather refreshing as it will be a bit liberating to play from a low rank again, back when you basically have no real responsibilities other than standard directives. Also the fact that I expect this to be a little like a "refresher course" if you would, as I brush up on the old CCA basic skills.
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.Devan McGullen had been the son of a well known business figure head in his homeland of Scotland in the city of Aberdeen. His mother had passed while giving birth and left him alone with his father who did his greatest to keep Devan out of trouble and shape into a great man so that one day he would take over the business and make it better than ever. His father showered him with gifts at an early age and practically raised him to be entirely obedient and a respectable young boy. At the age of thirteen, Devan had been a model student attending a prestigious private middle school in Aberdeen known at Trinity Lutheran middle school. He mastered many of the skills taught there at the beginning of the school year but as he began to become more social his father feared that he would be influenced by his friends to make poor choices and Devans social life actually did display these actions his grades began to slip from AÂ’s to BÂ’s and then even as far as DÂ’s and CÂ’s. DevanÂ’s father withdrew him from the school and hired a private teacher to teach Devan all he needed to know about business and the profession that his father was in. Devan had not been too happy with this but due to his early conditioning, every bone in his body, every fiber of his being screamed for him to obey, and so he did.
He continued to grow and learn the tricks of the trade as it were and became a fine asset to his father’s fortune as he began to work as a treasurer and manage the flow of funds. As the years passed, Devan turned twenty and his father had fallen gravely ill, but Devan had no time to grieve due to the Mega Corporation he had to run but during the small time he did have, he snuck to visit his father. Then finally the day had come, he had been contacted by the doctor in Intensive Care and was told of his father’s soon to be fate and he rushed over. As he ran to his father’s side the heart monitor had steadily been beeping faster and faster. He stood beside his father’s deathbed and kneeled grasping his hand as his father looked deep into Devan’s eyes and sputtered out the words that still ring in his head to this day, “Son, you have made an old man proud….carry on my legacy…” and then the heart monitor faded into a steady flat line. Devan simply bowed his head and balled his fists tightly, hot tears streaming from his face to the hospital floor as all seemed to be enveloped in gray for him. In the three years that followed, Devan had grown weary of his job as the CEO of his late father’s business and chose a predecessor to take his place when he retired.
The day had been long and dull for him; it was finally his last day within the halls of the corporation his father built from the ground as he was to hand it over to more able hands, as he was about to sign the contract that legally gave the business up, everything went wrong. Portals began to open around Aberdeen and made headline news as creatures of unimaginable proportions and variety flowed onto Earth from a place unknown and began killing everything in their wake, giant three legged tan creatures strode about that leveled entire buildings and smaller blue ones hunted people down like animals shooting explosive projectiles about. As Devan watched from the top floor of his building, the TV behind him went an about an alien invasion and the horrors being witnessed on the streets. He was rushed to safety by security and ran to the city outskirts to escape the violence; the city was enveloped in complete pandemonium as the screams, gun fire and explosions echoed for miles. Eventually after a long time of running, fate caught up with Devan as he was captured! He was shipped to City 45 where he was expected to live and be a model citizen and do as told, of course this came natural to him as it was how he was raised to be from the beginning. He always did what CCA units told him to do and did much to help the Union from cleaning to reporting anti-civil propaganda and contraband and this eventually enabled him to go about collecting his valued loyalist points. The day came that he was cleaning the Nexus entrance pillars and after much hard work he got them to shine, where a unit came out and nodded and told him to apply in the usual heavily vocoded voice in which Devan complied. “One loyalist point added, citizen.” The unit called and then looked closely at his datapad to see Devan had achieved five points and dug in his satchel to pull out a loyalist band and gave it to Devan saying, “Wear it with pride.” Devan smiled and fastened the band to his right leg, he decided to submit his application first thing in the morning to further help the Union. Finally, he had found purpose again!

Long story short, the murderer was a homocidal 10-103M who cut a man in half, wrote demonic symbols on the wall in the mans blood and was crawling on the floor and stuff and screaming "DIE DIE DIE!" I was in the firing squad that amputated her and it. Was. Horrifying!
