If I'm not mistaken, a majority of the veterans here have left. The rest of you are young whippersnappers. Therefore, not many of you will remember me. My name is 429ghost, I was active around the 2011-2012 Era of CG, and a frequenter of the late HL2RP back in its prime. As high school started becoming more demanding each passing year, I left for an indefinite amount of time.
I've come back to find unfortunate circumstances; HL2RP and OCRP are both dead. It's unfortunate, because back when I was active, CG's HL2RP server was arguably the best and most well managed in all of Gmod.
Enough of that now. After three years, I'm back. What have you all been up to in that time? Remember, you're speaking to someone who just got out of cryostasis, having been under for three thousand years. Tell me of your new, culture shocking ways lightly
In addition to all of you, what are the future plans for CG as a community?
Addiction to cocaine, finds it hard to stay sober for too long.

Hey everybody, I've been inactive since April. You may know me as 429ghost / Dr. Grant Peters / Unit 429 (Boris Gorbachev) / Captain Mark Johnston / Eddie Low from HL2RP.
Originally, I was going to be inactive to focus on all the exams I had in school from that point until summer. But then over time, I thought about it, and thinking about the CCA unit wipe at the time and how I got demoted from an 03 all the way back to an RCT, all my hard work going down the toilet, I decided to give RP a break. I got fed up with it, six months of dedicating my time and wasting my life.
Since then, I have been on another community, it's a community that talks about zombies, and I like zombies! Don't mean to advertise but if you want to check it out: Zombie-forum.com There's also RP there too, I've created my own game there and it's pretty famous amongst the RP group of the community.
Anyway, I'm back now, and only occasionally will I get back on HL2RP, however I am no longer committing a lot to it. If there's any RP I'll be doing here, I'll probably be doing it on OCRP more than any other.

Character Section
Authorization(s): -Ex-Domestic Terrorist. Always remained annonymous, which is why he was never caught by both the FBI and CCA.
-Bomb creation knowledge.
-Weapon knowledge, how to reload a gun and assemble one.
Name: Ron Martin Age: 27 Gender: Male Affiliation: None
Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations. When Ron Martin moved to the United States from China, he simply did not like the way of life in America. Their self centered egos, their incompetence, their obesity, many things. He thought of the US as the most scum nation on the Earth. But he believed it could be 'clensed'... With violence. Ron always called for the death of many. He has killed several people and injured countless others. He would either go on small killing sprees or set off bombs on shops and buildings. He never leaves a single trace, and has caught the attention of the FBI. He managed to contact certain people to also help supply him with arms, such as weapons, ammunition, bombs, etcetera. Eventually he managed to figure out how to create bombs himself. He created bombs varying from Composition C-4, Napalm, Nitroglycerin, or just traditional Trinitrotoluene. He destroyed many buildings filled with innocent american lives with these bombs. Since the Combine invaded, his terrorist activities have reduced. It's not that he is afraid, it is just that the CCA has way better precision than the FBI. Instead, he has spent his days planning his attacks. He wants to make sure his plans are perfect enough to take on a force such as the Combine.
What will these authorizations give your character in regards to perks or defects? Perks -Military-like ability, being a domestic terrorist he has to think like a warrior.
-Able to create an explosive used for terrorism.
-Able to use gun with precision.
Defects -The CCA will have more reason to look for him and amputate him.
-The CCA will have reason to amputate him because of his knowledge of explosives.
-The CCA will have reason to amputate him because of his extensive knowledge of weapon use.
What do you plan to do with these perks/defects? I wish to make my character sort of a Combine Era 'Terrorist', which would include things such as Bomb RP and things similar to rebellion(However it is important to note the difference between rebellion and terrorism).
Will anyone else need these auths? (If so, list OOC and IC name(s)) No.
My character went to the Outlands to look for certain victims. He also wanted to experience life in the Outlands, or what he calls "Soft Drink Land" (Because he calls anything opposing the Combine "Soft Drinks" while he calls the Combine themselves "Hamburgers"). My character is a serial killer who likes to collect the skulls of his victims. The switch has not ICly been made yet, I just wan't to get this appeal done and out of the way for the right time, so that way I don't have to wait for it while ICly my character is already back in the city. My character will soon finish his business in the Outlands and return to his 'Work' back in the city.
If required, write a detailed backstory on how your character left the outlands:
Eddie Low packed his newly aquired skulls, his anti-depressants, and his MP7 ammunition into his satchel. He closed it, and then grabbed it, slinging it onto his back. He started walking towards Beles Town. He reached the road that heads towards City 45 Limits. He then began his journey back. Eddie walked for miles along the highway scattered with abandoned vehicles that have been decomposing ever since the Seven Hour War. The walk had been long, very long. He was halfway to city limits. "We're almost there, my skulls." He dillusionally said to the skulls that were packed in his satchel. "Just a few more miles." Just then, Eddie spotted Overwatch not too far down the road. "Shit! Hamburgers!" He whispered. "We can't let them turn us into stalkers! We need to find a new route." He whispered to his skulls. Eddie then hid behind the cars and crawled to the railing. He then hopped over it and started heading elsewhere through the forrest. Halfway through the forrest, the Xen wildlife that occupied the habitat noticed Eddie. Headcrabs began unburrowing, taking Eddie by surprise. "Shit! Crab Hamburgers!" Eddie yelled. He began firing at them with his MP7 and ran off. The headcrabs were in pursuit. Eventually Eddie reached the end of the forrest, losing the headcrabs. He is now closer to city limits, at the old canals, recently abandoned. He then proceeded to the sewers through the area that used to be the most populated area of the outlands by resistance and refugees in Sector 45. Eddie walked through the area with caution. The canal area had been shelled by headcrab canister artillery. This is what caused the former inhabitance to flee to the mountains. By now, most of the headcrabs were probably gone, but not all of them. Eddie saw several impacted canisters through the area, but no headcrabs around them. Eddie presumed that the headcrabs had already taken shelter in the many structures, building nests or God knows what they were doing. Eddie finally reached the sewers and quickly entered them, he did not want to stay in that area for too long. The sun was already setting, meaning that if he were to stay, he should be prepared for a ravenholm-like night. Eddie walked for atleast another 40 minutes. Avoiding things like barnacles and what not, he could already hear the faint echo of the regular citizen notices. "We're so close!" He said to his skulls. He walked for another 15 minutes. Finally, he reached the sewer grate that he had entered through to leave. He was now in the canal between District One and District Six. "We're home, my skulls, we're home!" He said, before heading off into the night towards District Six.
Time when it happened(if mis-click):
Forgot the time of day, it was 03/07/12
Extra notes:
ICly, my character has not gone to the city yet, I'm just making this appeal now to get it over with, since my character will eventually return to the city.
//Just need to let you know a few things, this is a recruiting broadcast for a new resistance group I'm starting. The character who is starting it has an authorization application that hasn't been accepted yet. I am making this now so that way I can use the recent map change to an advantage, and that I won't be too late as it has been quite some time since the map changed. If the application gets denied, this broadcast will be voided, or possibly revised accordingly. *You manage to find a frequency with a broadcast being repeated, a man with a voice that sounds like Jason Statham is speaking*
If you can hear this, then you are obviously on the run. You are tired, scared, running low on essentials, and doubt you'll be alive for too much longer. You want to get back at those who started this mess that the world is in today. You are not alone. I am Captain Mark Johnston, former SAS operative of the British Armed Forces, and now a runner just like you. I understand that there has been a recent headcrab canister shelling of the entire canal area. Many of the refugees there are now migrating here to the mountains. I am starting a group, a group for people who wish to fight for the liberation of mankind, people who wish to relieve their loved ones from captivity. I am starting a resistance, and for those who wish to join, they will be rewarded handsomely, with food, shelter, and protection. However, they will also have to be willing to go under the toughest conditions, and must agree to obey all orders given to them, in order to be shaped into the best warriors in the mountains. If you are interested, stay tuned to this broadcast for the next few weeks. This broadcast will repeat daily, at the same time.
*The broadcast ends*
//Why don't I give more details or a place to meet me at? Because the computer that has Gmod on it has been taken away from me for three weeks, plus remember the authorization application.

Authorization(s): 1.) An escaped SAS captain who is currently in Outlands.
2.) Aquired CQC, Marksmanship, and Combat training.
3.) Resistance leadership of a group called "The MJA[Mark Johnston's Army]". Group can be recently established and not fully developed. Does not have to be official.
4.) Also, I may need the CSS Guerrilla skin because my character was never proccessed in any of the cities to get a citizen uniform. Of course he wouldnt just abandon his gear that he already had on. And the beard and longer hair perfectly fits as my character wouldn't have shaved in a long time. If I can't get the Guerrilla skin then atleast some skin with a military appearance.
Name: Mark Johnston Age: 36 Gender: Male Affiliation: Resistance
Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations. 1. )Escaped SAS: Mark Johnston, a captain in the best of the British Armed Forces, the SAS. Mark Johnston commanded a team of 19 other hardcore men. Mark himself was very respected by these men, and Mark respected them as well. They were all like a band of brothers. [2.) Acquired training:] They all have gone through the usual SAS training. Close Quarters Combat, Marksmanship precision, and almost any type of Combat training necessary for a member of the SAS. Three years of training produced 20 warriors. Those years were also the hardest for Mark. Having just gotten out of high school he planned on going into the army to pay for a tuition for college. However, his plans changed when he decided that the military lifestyle suited him, and that he'd make it his career. Mark and his team was deployed into approximately 26 missions, and had never gotten one mission failure. That is, until that one fateful day. Mark's team was to infiltrate an enemy compound in Saria(fictional country) as intel was gathered that a rouge Sarian general and his corrupted soldiers were hiding there. It was a mission done because of an allience between the United Kingdom and the NATO member Saria. Mark and his team was given a briefing on the mission at an airfield in a desert of Saria. "This is your target, General Ali Salhiem. Wanted on charges of war crime, murder, and funding terrorist operations. He is to be captured alive and brought back here where custody will be given to the Sarian government, and a trial will be made." Mark's Commanding Officer changed the slide. "This is the compound, perimeter approximately ten acres, four watch towers on either side, regular patrols, and an estimated amount of some 50 soldiers. Zero priority on the soldiers, shoot to kill or neutralize, if a few surrender, capture them as well, but we have reason to believe that they won't." The CO turned off the projector. "You are to infiltrate using the shadows, weapons free only when provoked. You will be given sound suppressor fitted weapons. Your exfilitration point will be at a hill about a quarter mile to the northwest. Any questions?" No one raised a hand. "Very well, there will be two choppers outside. Move out." Mark and his team left the briefing room and headed out the door. One of them went up to Mark. It was Jerry Akins, a good friend of Mark's. "Let's do good out there, mate." Jerry said as he patted Mark on the back. The team boarded the choppers, ten on one, ten on the other. The team was divided into two teams, Team Alpha and Team Bravo. Mark commanded Team Alpha, Jerry commanded Team Bravo. The flight to the LZ lasted about 15 minutes. Everyone got off and started heading southeast to the compound. As soon as they reached the compound, the two teams split up. Team Alpha got the west side, Team Bravo the east. Mark got the bolt cutters packed in his satchel and cut the fence, making an entrence big enough for his team to get through. They tried avoiding attention from the patroling guards. One was coming too close, Mark ordered his team to find cover as he awaited the soldier in the shadow. As soon as the soldier got in place, Mark lunged at him, combat knife ready, grabbed hold of the soldier and covered his mouth, preventing him from screaming. Mark then stabbed the knife violently into the soldier's neck. The soldier slowly lost his resistance and died. Mark hid the body in a corner where it was unseen. He then ordered his team to keep moving. They finally made it to the main building, going into the front door is suicide, they found access to the basement and went from there upstairs. The soldiers inside were off their guard, playing cards, drinking beer, having the last good time they'll ever have. Mark's team went into the hall upstairs. They searched every room until they found General Salhiem. He was having his own time of pleasure with one of the many Sarian prostitutes. Before he could realize he had been interupted, he was already in a position where he could do little resistance, held in gun point on the floor. Of course, the prostitute screamed at the top of her lungs, until one of the team knocked her unconcious with the butt of their rifle. Of course, that scream alerted the soldiers downstairs, who alerted all the soldiers in the compound. As Mark tied Salhiem's hands together with a zip tie, the alarm in the compound went off. Mark then radioed Team Bravo. "Bravo, this is Alpha, be advised, we've got the target, but his little whore let out a scream alerting the entire bloody compound. Our position is compromised. Do you copy, over." "Roger that, Alpha, theres a fuel truck in the south side of the compound, we'll set off a few charges, creating a diversion and buy you some time to get out of there with the target. We'll rendevous with you outside the east breach. Do you copy, over." "Copy that, Bravo. We'll meet you at the breach. Alpha out." They removed the silencers on their weapons and fired at the soldiers that came up, killing each one of them. Eventually, an explosion was heard, that was obviously the diversion. The soldiers started heading to that direction to investigate. Mark and Team Alpha took that opporunity to leave the main building and head to the breach with Salhiem. They managed to regroup with Team Bravo at the breach in the fence that Bravo made to infiltrate the compound. They left without alerting the remaining soldiers at the compound. They had been heading northwest to the extraction point. They were jogging there, there was no need to risk having the soldiers at the compound come looking for them. However, something was wrong. About half way to the extraction point, some sort of green portal apeared in front of them. They could not believe their eyes. From this portal came out some sort of wierd crab creature. It lunged at Salhiem and latched onto his head. He tripped and fell, being tied he could not get the creature off. The team tried getting it off of him, but more portals appeared, along with more of those crabs. They took five others of the team. "Let's get the bloody hell outa here!" They ran as fast as they could, but as they ran, the crabs lunged and caught five more of the team. They finally reached the extraction point, at a safe distance away from the crabs. Mark could see the two choppers coming. However, he could see a brief green collored illumination from the cockpit of the first chopper. It flew out of control, crashing into the other chopper. Both choppers were in a collision course for the team. Mark jumped out of the way as the choppers crash landed into the ground, making it by the skin of his teeth. The rest of his team were fine too. "Well it looks we're gonna have to walk back to the airfield, its about 30 minutes on foot. Let's move out." They began the journey. By the time they were almost at the airfield, Mark told everyone to stay still in their tracks. "Do you hear that? It...It sounds like bugs..." They all stood there, on guard. Then suddenly, one of them was sucked into the ground. It was like watching a video of a man sinking in a sink hole in fast forward. He screamed, his yell could be heard until he was underground. They were even more on their guard than before. Then at that moment, giant bug like creatures emerged from the ground. Mark and his team braked for it to the entrence of the airfield. It was just up ahead. At the entrence, soldiers were getting in position, along with an APC. As soon as the team made it passed the entrence, a large variant of the giant bugs emerged. They all fired at all of them, but they were having a difficult time killing the large one. It ran at unbelievable speeds like a bull towards the APC, knocking a few soldiers out of its way. When it reached the APC, its force was so great that the APC was knocked back atleast four feet. They all began firing at it, eventually killing it once and for all. Mark did not know what was going on. Crab creatures coming out of portals, giant bugs, it all seemed like something out of a crazy movie to him. Someone approached Mark "Captain Johnston, the CO wants to talk to you and your team." Mark and the team went into the briefing room. Along with the CO was an african six foot man in a NATO officer uniform. The CO spoke to the team "I take it you didn't get Salhiem, it doesn't matter, another urgent matter has risen since you left. This is Colonel Faladien. He's an official from the Sarian government." Colonel Faladien spoke with an african accent. "Gentlemen, there have been reports all across the world of strang creatures spawning from portals. My superiors have asked me to ask you to help lead an evacuation of the country." "With the allience between Saria and the United Kingdom, they need us to help. With us already here, we're the ones who have to do it." "Those things took half my entire team, we can't possibly think about making evacuations without reinforcements." Mark said. "You will most definately be given reinforcements by both Sarian and British forces alike." The Colonel said. "Now, the first place you will evacuate is a small town about a mile from here. You will be given armored reinforcements and troops." Later, Mark and his team got onto the truck with the rest of convoy and went to the town. When they arrived at the town, it was like a war zone. There was no one in sight when the convoy got in. They were driving for about a few more minutes until suddenly, some sort of gunship swooped in and destroyed the truck in front of Mark's. It came back and fired at the driver of Mark's truck, killing him. As Mark was in the passenger seat, he kicked the dead driver out of the seat and turned the truck around as the rest of the convoy got killed by the powerful gunship. He drove as fast as he could, putting the safety of his team first in mind. By the time he got back to the airfield, it was under attack by more of those gunships, along with ground forces, which ranged between large three legged tripod-looking creatures, along with smaller variants of those. There were two batallions stationed at that airfield, both were occupied with fighting these things. It was a complete warzone. Mark and his team ran as fast as they could into the briefing room, however two of his team was killed as they got there. Mark took a head count, only six of his once 20 man team was still alive. That count also included Jerry. Mark looked around the room to find that both the CO and the Colonel was dead. Mark tried using the radio that was across the room. "High Command, come in, this is Captain Johnston of the SAS stationed in Saria. We need reinforcements, there are these things attacking. I've got six men losing morale by the minute. Not to mention two batallions losing their numbers outside against these things. Do you read?" Nothing but static responded. "High Command, come in, do you read?...Come in damnit!...Bollacks!" Mark looked out the window, it didnt look too well. However, Mark thought up a plan. There was a Lockheed C-130 Hercules in a nearby hangar. If Mark and his team could reach it in time, they could get out of there safely. Mark had some training for utilizing enemy aircraft. He told his team his plan. They went near the door, and darted out on Mark's command. They ran at the speed of the wind, but that didnt stop those small versions of those long legged things from attacking the team. They got everyone down to Jerry. Mark had no time to mourn for his team, he was in the middle of crossfire. He finally reached the hangar and lost those things. He went into the C-130 and started it up, also getting the doors of the hangar to open. He then took a deep breath, and began taxiing to the runway. As soon as he got to the runway past the hell on earth war zone, he got the attention of the enemies as he began accelerating. They then started to approach the plane. Mark knew that if he pushed altitude too soon, it will be difficult to stabilize the plane once in the air, but it was a risk that he'd have to take. He pushed the lever and the plane lifted off of the ground. He was in the air, and away from the enemies, he even got the plane steady. He was safe, for now.
3.) Resistance Leadership: One year later, in 2016, Mark was in the outlands. He was accompanied by Oleg Cravchenko. When Mark left the airbase, he went to the Eastern Bloc to find his friend Oleg, a retired Spetznas commando and Mercenary. Being that he could not land in any airports, he had to bail from the plane and parachute near by where Oleg lived. Mark met Oleg in a joint operation between Spetznas and SAS, in the middle east. They had since became friends and kept in touch. When Mark found Oleg, he told Mark what had happened, about the Combine taking over the world. Mark agreed to join Oleg take refuge away from the Combine rule. They had been running from capture for a year. Tired, hungry, running very low on what was left of their supplies, they had come to an agreement that they would form a resistance and start recruiting immediately. Mark and Oleg were in a cave, they were standing next to a stationary radio. "Comrade, we have been running for too long. We shall not stand for this anymore. We shall find more comrades, and fight back. We shall do this for the greater good, comrade... Comrade, make the broadcast." Oleg said. Just as Mark was prepping the radio to make the broadcast, Overwatch raided the cave, throwing crossfire that shot and killed Oleg. "Oleg, no!" Mark cried. He took cover and began firing at Overwatch with what was left of his ammo. He managed to kill one soldier, and wound another. Eventually his gun clicked as he pulled the trigger, and he was out of ammo. Frustrated, he threw his gun towards the ground and ran out the back entrence just before the Overwatch could move up. He ran as fast as he could, he saw sunlight as he came towards the back entrence. He ran as far as he could, running past the abandoned water treatment plant. Eventually he found a warehouse. There, he caught his breath. He thought he lost the Overwatch, he didn't. He looked back to find a single soldier, who had been running faster than the others after Mark. The soldier lifted his AR2, then pulled the trigger. A click was heard. His gun was either jammed, or more possibly out of ammo. The soldier dropped the AR2 and began walking towards Mark in an intimidating fashion. Mark discreetly pulled out his combat knife, preparing for hand to hand combat. As the soldier got near Mark, he slammed towards him, missing as Mark rolled the other direction on a table behind him. Mark then jammed the knife into the soldier's hand, pinning his hand to the table. Mark then managed to lose the soldier's sight. The soldier violently yanked his hand from the pinning on the table, the knife flying elsewhere. He saw a vent on the other side of the room. He suspected thats where Mark fled. He went towards the vent, opening it only to find an active grenade that was at the end of its timer. The explosion brought down a quarter of the warehouse. Mark was already at a safe distance away from the explosion. He walked away from it, not even turning back to see the fireworks. What the soldier did not know was that when Mark got away from him off of the table, he managed to steal a grenade from the soldier's belt. The soldier died from his own equipment. Mark eventually found an abandoned resistance outpost. There was a functional stationary radio. Mark sat down and began rubbing his forehead, contemplating about how Overwatch had just killed his friend whom he had been working alongside with for a year. How the Combine had killed his entire team whom he had been working with for even longer within a matter of hours. This drew his ambition to make the broadcast even further. He got into an upright posture, took a deep breath, and began prepping the radio. He took an even deeper breath, and then began the broadcast. "If you can hear this, then you are obviously on the run. You are tired, scared, running low on essentials, and doubt you'll be alive for too much longer. You want to get back at those who started this mess that the world is in today. You are not alone..."

Will anyone else need these auths? (If so, list OOC and IC name(s)) No.
Which server does this apply for? Outlands
Extra Notes (optional): Note 1: The character has not yet been made, I made this application so that I could get authorization for an escaped military captain, resistance leadership, trainings, and the Guerrilla(or any other military-like) skin.

Full Name: Ronald Trumph Citizen identification(CID): 78185 Last Assigned Apartment Number: UCH: B2 Total Loyalist Points: 1 Sex: Male Age: 30
How long have you been in City45: I have recently moved to City 45 from City 32 a few days ago.
Why do you want to join the CWU?: I wish to find some sort of work to do as a citizen. I wan't to help out with sales and finances, primarily business things. It has been a while since I had a job, and I wan't to be able to get off of my butt and get one. It would be a lot better than to simply walk around the plaza doing unproductive things.
Have you ever been detained before?(If so why): Never. //I assume that if answered 'No', then it is exempt from minimum sentences.
Past experience with work/labor: I used to run a computer company named 'Digimedia Inc'. It was founded in 1961, then known as 'Digital Innovations'. I had earned my place as CEO when founder Fredderick Henry died from a heart attack in 2011. He had no one to heir his position, so me being a well respected executive at the company was appointed as CEO by the board of directors. I graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a Masters Degree in Computer Technology and Information. At the age of 12, I had built my first chip board, my first programming at age of 13. Most of my experience is in computers and business.
Name 4 things the CWU Can possess, and 4 things we cant. Also state why.: Well one thing the CWU can possess is Request Devices. They must have them so they can provide them to the citizens who request them. Another thing the CWU can possess is medical supplies, however within authorization. The citizens depend on the CWU for any medical attention they may need. The CWU need the supplies to provide medical attention to injured citizens. The CWU can possess UU approved food. It is for purposes such as starting a CWU run restaruant, or providing the shipments for a restaruant run by citizens. The CWU can possess authorized electronics and computers. Computers help the CWU a lot. They have a lot of files and information that need to be organized, a computer can do that perfectly. It is also a great help to the Business Division as well. The Business Division have to keep track of sales and finances with documents and spreadsheets. The CWU may not possess any non-authorized medical supplies. Such supplies may include Civil Protection supplements, steroids, deppressants, etcetera. Most of it is classified as contraband. The CWU may not possess any contraband, as it is against the laws of the Union. The CWU may not possess any alcohol, as that is classified as contraband as well. The CWU may not possess any weapons, as that is classified as Level One Contraband, and is grounds for Level One Verdicts.
Tell us about what you can do.: As stated before, I have a Masters Degree in Computer Technology and Information. I can assist with anything involving such a field of expertise. I also have experience as a CEO, and could be of great use to the Business Division.
If a citizen asks for help and is new to the city, what would you do?: I would first welcome them to City 45. I would then direct them to the UCH to be assigned a room. I would then give them a panthlet of Civil Violations so they would know the laws. I would finally tell them to speak to any of the workers if they need further help.

Authorization(s): CQC(Kung Fu; Black Belt)
Name: Ron Martin Age: 27 Gender: Male Affiliation: None
Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations. Ron was born in Los Angeles, California, but raised in Hong Kong, China. Being american, he was hassled and bullied left and right. He recieved mutliple beatings as well. It was one day where he was beaten up and left in a locker where he just had enough. Ron wen't to Master Hui's Dojo, a famous dojo in the neighborhood. He wanted to train Kung Fu. His classmates were a bit indifferent with him, but Master Hui accepted him. Master Hui's number one rule was "Anyone can do Kung Fu." Ron trained Kung Fu for four years, leaving with a Black Belt. Ron eventually found a way that he could apply his knowledge of Kung Fu. He was being hassled by a bully, Lee Chang, one of his biggest bullies. "Hey, yank! Give me your lunch money!" Lee demanded. "....No...." Ron replied. Lee's eyes widened. He grabbed Ron by the collar. "You fucking gweilo, you dare say no to me?!" It was at that moment that Ron broke Lee's hold of him by karate chopping Lee's hand off of his collar. As Lee staggered back, Ron delivered a roundhouse kick to Lee's abdomen, sending him flying into a lunch table. Lee was rendered unconscious. Ron entered a fighting stance in front of Lee's goons. "You want some too?" He asked them. Both of them shook their heads, then ran away like little girls. Ron smirked, then left without even looking at Lee.
What will these authorizations give your character in regards to perks or defects? Perks Kung Fu, self defence.
Defects N/A
What do you plan to do with these perks/defects? Being that my character hangs around District Six most of the time, I can use it to defend myself from the many people who would attack me.
Will anyone else need these auths? (If so, list OOC and IC name(s)) No.
