Alexandra Smirnov. Born 1988 in Soviet Russia, her first light was seen in a toilet block. Her mother had to give birth to her while sitting on the toilet, her father having to act as the surgeon. She kicked and screamed upon coming to life, her father trying to calm her so she wouldn’t alarm the Red Army patrols outside. Her father failed, resulting in him being called a dirty pervert and being knocked unconscious with the butt of an AKS-74u for being in the Females Toilets as that is where they gave birth to her and dragged outside with a bleeding nose. She was confiscated from her mothers arms, the umbilical cord cut with a Bayonet and carried away, screaming, to a building unknown.

Come the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, Alexandra was reunited with her family. Her mother and father burst into tears and hugged her tightly while she lied there, confused. She was only 3 and she had no idea what was happening. She was still young enough to be raised with memory of them as her parents, however. Her father carried her home as a treat.

Two years later, 1993, Alexandra and her parents flew to Australia, her parents wanting to escape the memories. She had little time to learn English; they tried to raise her with English and Russian as she was still 5. She had the basics down, easy, hopefully she would just learn over time.

Alexandra’s parents found a 2-bedroom house in Sydney, News South Wales, not a long walk from the beach. Her parents shared one room in a double-bed, as any normal pair of parents should, while she remained in her rather plain room in the colder end of the house. She didn’t care, she got used to it. That year, she started a primary school, meeting Christopher G. Mackenzie, her only friend. She had the biggest crush on him through her education.

Up until the end of high school, Alexandra would share her reports with Chris. Chris, with the mainly D’s, E’s for Math and A’s for Sport, was the more physical bloke who wasn’t smart. Alexandra was the opposite, the smart, intelligent girl with mainly B’s, A’s in Math and English and D’s in Sport. Somehow they were a great match for each-other, though. Chris would always get into fist-fights for Alexandra, and Alexandra couldn’t do more than blush girlishly in the corner.

Alexandra left Chris for four years to go down to the School of Thinking in Melbourne, Australia to receive a degree in Philosophy. Chris knew it was her area, and he cried the second she was out of sight. Chris liked her very much as well, but he was persuaded she didn’t think the same way about him.

2010. Alexandra was on her way back from Melbourne to Sydney, returning home after getting her degree. That’s all she can remember. Chris was holed up in a basement the whole time, rocking back and forwards, scared to death. The Universal Union were invading. Aliens were invading. When she woke up, all she saw was humans being marched, Striders and Hunters. 

2016. Alexandra finds the City Administrator applications open. She thinks back to what her parents told her when she was 17. Soviet Russia… Immediately, she wanted to show Stalin, where-ever the fuck he is, that a baby that was given birth in a fucking toilet block under his reign could do a better job at leading an empire than he could. She was hell-bent on proving it. Hell-bent.


Accepted - Welcome to City Administration, Dr. Smirnov.

Could i be in a Episode ?.

Doubtful, because sarah never really met Alex. And this episode takes place after Jenifer vanished... And das, while gmod is down, work on more of these! I must have my life retold! 

She met Chris, he was there at the Sermen and went all ninja with his refugee-machette made from scraps when the fag started to get violent!

I like the concept of it, it should be a fair dinkum TV show IC'ly. It'd be great to have an area in HL2RP > General Chat where people can post their scripts for TV shows and Citizens can watch them IC'ly.

On a note more regarding to your post, good job. As the Reader, I thought the start was a bit dull but I read on.  Once you get reading it starts to become interesting, and you ended it just right, making me, as the reader, want to read the next instalment. The idea of a theme song was great.

Next time, can you add a bit off a 'Hook' at the start of it. Majority of readers will read not even the first paragraph and if they aren't interested by then, they aren't going to read the rest of it. Start a bit more in the action, it doesn't have to be full on gun-fights action but maybe a conflict in-between two people, or maybe they're late for work and they're in a real hurry, worried about what will happen if they are late. This way, the Reader will want to know if, using the example, if they are late or not and what happens if they are, so they read on to find out.

The ending was done beautifully with not too much of a Cliffhanger but still a Cliffhanger, something you can possibly put into a 'Hook' at the start of the next one!

You've inspired me to make a similar kind of thing myself, and when your inspiring people your certainly doing something right. Well done!

I think I just went all engish-fag on 'ya :/

EDIT: Put Chris in too! :<

Are you a founder of the fan club or a troll?

I only got the one of her getting anal probed by a SMG but I'll get more.
