Civil Workers Union / As Tier 3 by myself what am I allowed to do?
« on: December 29, 2011, 09:03:04 AM »
I rarely see organizers due to my timezone, so what am I allowed to do and not do? Can I sell, so I help in the UCH apartments? It would be nice to know, I do want to do business transactions and was given the go ahead, but I am slightly confused on the shipment log.

Jason Young's Civil Authority Application

OOC Name: Coble

IC Character Name: Jason Young

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 wants to join the CWU for many reasons. One, he feels like at the moment he is just not doing his all for the Combine, handing in contraband? Ha. He wants to be out on the street catching these rebel scums or Anti-Citizen that make our city a little bit more horrible. He feels that sometime the CCA just can't cope sometimes and he would make a wonderful person for them to join.

One time, Jason, had seen a man looking very suspicious. He couldn't report it to the CCA he had no evidence, nothing to go on, so he followed him. The person was moving towards a lady, he backed off and stayed around a corner observing the situation. However, when it came to the moment he wanted to intervene and help the lady, the man pulled a gun. Terrified, Jason ran around the corner and stayed hidden as he fumbled for his request device, but, it was all for nothing the man had already shot, killed and escaped. Jason felt horrible about the experience and knew, if he had been in the CCA, this wouldn't of happened.

The last thing that made him sure he wanted to be in the CCA was, one day when helping the CCA with moving debris from the RDT, a mortar shell malfunctioned. The shell was fired into the city releasing, headcrabs and then eventually zombies. Jason was scared but the CCA kept their calm rounded everyone up and moved them to the apartments. Jason watched as the CCA opened fire on the abominations and enjoyed every moment of it. He knew that he wanted to protect citizens, just like what the CCA were doing now. Once it was all over he stepped up his effort to get Loyalist points and is last seen filling out an application.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
He likes to keep everybody happy, and will not abandon friends in battle. He has been known to get scared if the odds outweigh him and can make rash decisions because of it. He doesn't like talking back to people unless they have pissed him off. Easily persuadable

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
I think Jason is expecting Glory and power, the idealized version of what the CCA is, most likely to be. He hopes after his traumatic past, he will be able to to catch anti-citizens or anyone who maybe breaking the law in anyway. He seems to view the CCA in a sort of fantasy filter, thinking this might be a great adventure as if this is a quest he must undertake. He also hopes that he can show his superiors that he is worthy of the CCA and prove himself in anyway.

For me, I have always like how the CCA handle situation, which is often why I like to go into my Conscript to see the inner workings of the CCA. I think this could be a great roleplay experience for me, and would allow me to expand on my roleplaying ability. I also hope to help with the minges, since for some reason there has been a recent boost in their activity. I also want to see what the CCA is like on the inside and hope to expand my knowledge a little bit more.

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.
Jason Young was never an important man in life, he worked in an officer fixing computers, in Scotland. He had no family to speak of, his friends were small and honestly he could live without them. Tom would always visit him at work but honestly he had no time for him today he just wanted to get work done. After a few days of the same routine, there was something new, the portal storms. While he was walking to work, he came across a recruitment office, he walked inside seeing all the people lined up signing up to fight what looked like an invasion. He got to the front of the queue and was about to write his name when another portal storm hit the building. Jason was unconscious but alive as people rushed into the building to help any survivours, Jason was just able to get out before the building completely collapsed. He made his way shakily to work because he knew of no other thing he could do. When he had arrived at work and had gotten comfortable he heard an explosion. He rushed to the window, and saw men in masks with weird guns shooting civillians. Tom ran over to Jason and informed them they had to leave, the elevator wasn't operational so they had to use the stairs. When they made their way down it was carnage, people were dying in the streets and everywhere there were fights going on. Jason ran down the street with Tom until a stray RPG round into the building next to him caused him to get knocked across the street. Jason regained his composure, looking round for Tom. Tom called out to Jason, Jason saw that Tom was stuck under rubble, Tom asked for help, Jason on the other hand saw the battle moving up the street and didn't want to be caught. He ran. He was panting sweating but there was something else, something new. A Strider had blocked the other end of the street. Jason was terrified as he looked around, but before he could even think, the Strider used it's cannon on the ground near him and Jason was sent flying, with heavy injuries he was captured by the Combine and soon the earth had fallen.

Jason wanted to forget his traumatic past so began to become addicted to breen's reserve trying his best to forget all that had happened to him. He was eventually transferred to City 45 and then it dawned on him. No-one knew him, he could start fresh, be whoever he wanted to be, he stepped off the Razor train and looked at his new city.
"Time to start again."

7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience?
Well, actually to be fair the first time coming onto the CG server. It was quite new to me as this was setup quite differently than the last servers I had been to. I quickly became an Anti-Citizen and got into a fight with the CCA, I was hoping I would be able to take on one, however soon enough more and more CCA officers just kept on coming. I knew I was screwed so stopped, where I was promptly beaten and thrown into the Nexus. When the officer came into my cell I tried to defend myself but it was all for not. I was amputated as I screamed out to world, unloved, and no-one would give a damn. It was a very powerful moment for me and yet in terms of adventure is quite small. I don't know why that scenario sticks in my mind, it might of been because the officers I role played with were just fantastic and made the experience awesome.

A city Vortigaunt that is free.

Name: Tul'Nuk'Mun
Age: 128
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Resistance

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
Two resistance members and a vortigaunt are on their way to the outlands after escaping City 40.
"Oh no." Said Jason
"What is it." Replied John
Jason turned with fear in his eyes
"We are heading the wrong way! We missed the tracks for the outlands we are heading to city 45!"
"What!?" said John the fear unmistakable in his voice, he ran to the window of the train to confirm his friends suspicions.
"Oh crap! We can't go there not with this!" pointing at the Vortigaunt in the corner hiding trying to remain out of site.
"I thought you said your 'Friend' was going to make sure we heading out of the city areas and get to the outlands!"
"I did, I did, something must of gone wrong." John paced up and down the carriage trying to think.
"We are going to get amputated for sure! Screw this I ain't dying over some goddamn vort!"
The Vortigaunt stood up just understanding what the man had said began to charge up his powers. John noticed it and charged for the vort grabbing his arm.
"No! We can't have a dead bodies on our hands, understand!"
The vortigaunt did not reply
"UNDERSTAND!?"
The vortigaunt lifted his head
"Understand."
John let go
"Good."
Jason moved to John
"No, not good, bad very very bad!"
The train arrived at the station, the men caught off guard.
"Your on your own!" Jason said as he rushed for the exit.
John was terrified he understood that if they were caught they would both die however he felt compassion for the vortigaunt, he rolled up his sleeve and looked at his watch. A smile rolled across his face.
"3, 2, 1."
A womans voice heard coming in through speakers.
"Rations are now available from the ration distribution center."
John grabbed the vortigaunts hand.
"We got to move, now!"
As Tul walked through he felt mesmerized by the train station, when John led him outside he felt hypnotized by the sun, months in the nexus had made him forget about the sun.
"Not now, keep moving."
 They rushed across the square as John explained.
"Listen I'm sorry I am going to have to leave you here."
Tul understood those words and began to whimper, John looked around grabbed his hand and kept on moving.
"Now listen I will set you up in the canals the resistance use it to move merchandise around, all you have to do is help them out a bit, until we can get another train out of here. I won't let the Combines get you okay? Now when there you will fend for yourselves the CCA never like going into the canal areas so you should be fine, you will mainly have to contend with the Citizens but just stay out of their way."
Tul nodded only just understanding what he was saying. John was oblivious the the CCA officer rounding the corner, they bumped into each other. There was a pause a moment of surrealistic time. The CCA officer looked at the vortigaunt. John looked at the vortigaunt.
"Run, go!"
John tackled with the CCA officer as the two grappled for the gun. Tul was too scared to help his friend so ran. He ran through the checkpoint. BANG! Tul turned round knowing it was most likely his ally that died, standing there for too long, a couple of officers moved through the checkpoint.
"Hold it right there!"
Tul did not want to stick around, he ran through district 6 navigating the twist and turns as the gunshots ringed off around him. he encountered the canal and the barriers, he moved to the ladder, he desperately tried to grab the side bu.... BANG! Tul felt the hot lead rip through him, he screamed out in the hope his brothers would here him, he fell into the canals as two officers moved to the edge.
"Leave him, let the rats feast on him."
"Hahaha"
"Hahaha"
Tul tried to hang on but the pain was overwhelming just before he blacked out.
"We found him."


Tul woke up inside the bar on a table. As he moved to get up a note slid off his chest. He bent down to grab it. Trying to read it to himself
"Too noticeable, can't take, outlands."

Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Loyalist Points
« on: December 26, 2011, 06:21:26 PM »
The loyalist points system has really started to piss me off. So far I report crimes to officer and either I hand in contraband, they go thanks and leave or for instance the most recent example...

I was walking around sector 2, just wandering what was going on, a man approached me offered some radios, tells me about a stash in his bar after I "convince" him I am on his side, and all I can think is "Jackpot!" I rush to a CCA officer speak to him, and what does he tell me? "I honestly don't care I have things to do." Well okay I thought a bit odd, so I went to find another officer spoke to him explained everything. Silence. "Go talk to another officer." Well thanks. I understand people complain about the points a lot but what I think people can forget or at least the CCA is that since they are officers now they don't care about other people getting points. Can't there be another system in place or an interview or just something else, the one time I actually got points on a character and I had an CCA go Dirty Harry on my ass. Something to think about I suppose. I think it could also be because of my timezone (GMT) no admins are on to organize events to get points.

Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Vortigaunts in City server.
« on: December 24, 2011, 05:15:39 PM »
I have recently joined the ranks of vortigaunt conscripts and am getting increasingly annoyed at how the CCA handle them, so far I have connected three times today where I was moved back into a cage waiting to be deployed and then just seemingly forgotten about, when I ask LOOC for work, the general response I get is either people ignoring me or saying that they "do not know how to handle vorts" it gets a bit dull sitting in a jail cell doing nothing. So is there a way to get more work or at least tell people what to do with vorts. There was one instance in the cells right next to mine where a citizen got his head blown off, blood everywhere, was I made to go in and clean, no just sit in my cell as always.

Age: 15
How long have you been Roleplaying? (can be any game): 6 Years

Character Section

Authorization(s):
The chance to be a Vortigaunt.

Name: Kur "Nocht" Ven
Age: 125
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Combine

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
There was only one life Kur understood, slavery. For as long as he could remember, he had worked for the mighty Nihilanth. Until one fateful day, The Combine came, Kur didn't understand what was going on as he looked around and heard the Calls of his Vortigaunts all screaming out in pain, it was overwhelming he couldn't handle it, the constant screams the loud noises offensive to the ears as an cylinder object came towards him emitting a flashing red light then an orange ball of flame went up and knocked him back. Kur retreated to a nearby cave and hid injured closed to death, he couldn't face the battle, the dieing, the scream of his friends and family, until something or someone found him. It was the Combine the soldier raised a mysterious object in his hand then a split second later came towards his face, sudden pain, then silence.

This split second of silence was heavenly, until, more screaming. This screaming was new something he didn't recognise, a new being as he looked to a left he overheard this creature called "The Citizen" another sound was coming into his ears, something moving, screaching along metal he overheard it to be called "The Train" this was all so new and mysterious, then he realised he was struggling to breath, gasping for air trying to adjust to the new atmosphere he did not recognise, he  panted and screamed out in the hope his brothers and sisters would hear him, there was no response. He was panicked screaming out until a man in black with blue glowing eyes said "He's awake, he's struggling to breath like the others." Another voice was heard "I don't care if he can't breath that noise is driving me nuts, shut him up." The blue eyed man replied "Yes, Sir" As he brought his mysterious object in his hand down upon his head and blackout.

After all that time of "re-education" he had forgotten all about the once great master Nihilanth and has instead begun to hail the Combine, it was familiar he accepted it , he was a slave, a life he understood and could accept. After the months he had begun to pick up basic English and occasionally got the chance to speak to others in vortiguese. After that he was moved to a new city to begin his slavery duty at the nexus assigned to clean and make sure prisoners did what they were told. However the Combine refused to accept him and would still get regular beatings. Anger was pent up inside him but couldn't act upon it, otherwise more beatings. Every night he still screams out to his brothers and sisters and hopes for a reply.
There was only one life Kur understood, slavery.

What will these authorizations give your character in regards to perks or defects?
Perks
More roleplay options
Passive roleplay
The chance to speak Vortiguese
Access to the Nexus

Defects
Citizens will treat him different.
The CCA will treat him with hostility and will most likely beat and degrade him.
Due to the explosion he is slightly death meaning he can not hear orders, which gets him more beatings.

What do you plan to do with these perks/defects?
To practice my passive roleplay and to give the CCA a slave they can tell to do what ever they please.

Will anyone else need these auths? (If so, list OOC and IC name(s))
No

Which server does this apply for?
City

Half-Life 2 Roleplay / A couple of questions from a new player.
« on: December 05, 2011, 02:54:11 AM »
Hey, I just joined your server and been having some fun, but there is a few questions I need to ask.

Firstly, What is the outlands? How do I get there? I have heard a couple of people talk on OOC about going to the outlands, but what exactly is it? Secondly Rebels. I noticed they had a base (In Sector 6) how do you become a rebel I assume you don't send in applications. The door to the base is also locked, and I was just wondering what they do, and if they are allowed on the server. Finally Vortigaunts. I have seen them appear on other HL2RP servers so I was wondering are they on here or not?

Thanks and I think I will enjoy my time here.

Edit:I thought about making another thread though it seemed a waste.

Tool trust. If I am a VIP or Gold member do I have a tool trust badge since I do get the phys gun and tool gun, or do I still need to apply to consider myself with that perk?

Also under donation benefits for gold what is the "Light Black Market Flag"?

Introductions / Well howdy
« on: December 04, 2011, 07:25:00 PM »
Hey there I was on one of your servers recently, playing as Connall Johnson. It was a fun time of constant visits to jail and finally the death at the hands that took me in the first place.

My story was simple

I got on and saw the Administrator doing a speech, I felt bored so I went wondering round the city to find a nice back alley bar. I bought it and noticed that there was a tunnel, my thoughts? "Jackpot" From there is became a quick way to hide or get out of dodge. That was until...
I returned to the bar to find the cops kicking down my door, a bald man running in and telling them about my tunnel. I was pissed. I threatened when I get out I would kill the man, only to find him accusing me of threatening him of killing him earlier. I was knocked out taken to the nexus where I went into a corner until a big man came round to beat the shit out of me. I got out and the first thing I saw was the very man who sent me to prison being arrested himself. I yelled at him on his luck only for the cop who arrested me the first time, arrested me again and I was charged with audio violation. and put in jail. No beatings so that's a plus. I got out looking for the bald man but, no luck. So I ran down the street only for a cop to come up with me and try to arrest me even though I didn't know why. I say try. I took a swing at him and we got in a scuffle, an /me scuffle that is. Only at the end to be taken to jail and charged with amputation. At the hands of the man who took me in (I think) We had a tiny scuffle again then a bullet was put into my head. I must say that was great joy, also to the man who "amputated me" give a little shout because that was tons of fun playing with you.

Anyway that's my story, thanks.

P.S If this seems a little disjointed I just got off at midnight so a little tired.
