Jake Phillips's Civil Authority ApplicationOOC Name: Noman
IC Character Name: Jake Phillips
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, Jake Phillips… would like to join the Combine Civil Authority, because, ever since the start, he was very heavily pro-union, and with the encouragement of two Administrators, no one can deny or challenge that. He never gained points to achieve anything, or to get rations, he did it because he believed, and still does believe, that he is helping the Union. He later found out that it is possible to sign up for the CWU. He thought about it but he remembered how everyone wanted for him to join the CCA, including Administrators. So he figured out a different way to serve the Universal Union…
Since he was learning to be a detective through college before the seven hour war, it was natural for him to be attracted to the more… intimidating division of the CCA. He tested himself on people and how they’re face and body expressions correspond with how they are feeling. When he learned of APEX, the medical division of the Combine Civil Authority, he immediately grinned to himself, knowing which division he would sign up for. Jake had all this in mind, way before he decided to sign up.
After doing some more research, he was positive that he would join the CCA, keeping the city safe from anti-citizens, whom he always hated. He was assaulted several times by them and even shot. Time passed and the attackers were never reported or caught again. They disappeared deep into the city… Jake’s friend even sacrificed himself to save Jake. On the day it happened, Jake has never been more vengeful. Over the course of his time in the city, he kept placing the CCA on a higher and higher pedestal, prepared to join it's ranks. He signed up and created his application, eager to join.

If a higher command asks or orders you to do something... You do it. I also expect great responsibility for my actions. There will be punishments at one point if anything goes wrong but... I am prepared for it.
(OOC) I think it will enhance my role-playing experience on Catalyst Gaming. I expect that it will make a better surrounding for my character as he is struggling on the streets.

I will get known to the community more as I meet more people in the Combine Civil Authority. I will also enjoy role-playing with my fellow units because I know they can role-play with great quality.
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.Jake Phillips was born in Toronto, Canada to a family of Third Generation Australian Immigrants. Before his birth his mother and father were able to achieve a stable living by doing various odd jobs until his father finished Law School, eventually becoming an affluent lawyer and projecting the family into wealth. As a child and teenager, Jake was spoiled, his father gave him anything and everything he could ever want. Jake was well educated, instead of being sent to a public school like his peers he was private schooled and his relationship with his family was average, fighting with them here and there but keeping the home civil and unbroken.
Throughout school, Jake built his life around order. He lived under his schedule and shut out anything that wasn't part of his reclusive lifestyle. He finished his schooling and eventually began a clerk at a local Post Office. His life was peaceful and organized; even though Jake didn't have many friends he was happy doing his job for the "greater good". This would all change when the sudden appearance of the portal storms.
Once the portal storms hit, Jake's lifestyle changed dramatically, he began wandering from place to place inside of the now walled off population center of Toronto. He socialized with others, searching for his place in life and praying for the order that was nowhere to be found in this nearly-apocalyptic society. Then... along came an answer to his prayers, The Universal Union came down upon Earth, unleashing their power and crushing our entire military within a time-span of Seven Hours, which soon became known as the "Seven-Hour War".
After this cataclysmic event, cities began popping up and citizens began getting transferred to different cities with numbers instead of names, (45, 22, 16 and 1). Jake ended up in City 45 and it was almost as if his prayers were answered, Cities now had what he most longed for: Order, Peace and Civility. Civilization was practically the same as it was before the war aside from a few key differences: Elderly and Children were killed off, leaving only those that could work, A suppression field was put up, preventing pregnancy in women, rations lines became one of the few ways to obtain meals and Civil Protection was instated.
At first to Jake, Civil Protection looked like pitting humans against humans in a hole and seeing which one would last longer but after a while he began seeing it as a society erected by the Union to keep order in the cities. They were given better meals, better clothing and better housing. They had power, comfort and they controlled the "Machine" that society was currently described as. Every single one of these factors appealed to Jake, he wanted to be a symbol of Order, a human being working for the greater good of the Universal Union and by joining the Combine Civil Authority he could do just that. After achieving Loyalist status and getting recommended by two Administrators he made his choice and wrote up his application, sending it in shortly after, now he waits for the response, waiting on the edge of his seat in anticipation, waiting for his story to continue.
