IC Character Name: Shane West

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.
It was a freezing winter morning with a blinding sun in the sky when my character Shane West was strolling along the coast. His eyes suddenly found a sign reading City 45. Shane started to realize this is it! He had officially been transferred to a new area with new friends and a whole new life. Straight ahead, Shane noticed a small blue book, lying on the icy surface of the road. The title of this book: The Benefit of the Universal Union. As Shane was paging through the book, his mind began to tremble; he found himself amazed and in pure serenity.

Shane was determined to be a loyalist. Would this book help? While he pondered the innumerable benefits the book had to offer, he began to explore the land. As he migrated from Precinct 1 to Precinct 3, he realized this is where cops could no longer roam. Proceeding with caution throughout the winding walkways, Shane was surrounded by four desperate and dangerous looking muggers…

He was trapped and they quickly pounced. A nightmare of pain and blood erupted as they thrashed his entire body. As they continued to swing their wooden planks menacingly, the sound of high-heeled shoes tapping the ground stopped them in their tracks. Their full attention was now on an easier target. Shane watched helplessly in shock as they snuck over to the woman and attacked her from behind. She began to scream and to silence the attraction, they swiftly beat her to death. This was the birth of his curiosity and haunting need to join the Combine Civil Authority. The sight he had witnessed was so horrid; it made him want to bring down the hammer on all criminals. He decided he needed to help all those poor victims, and to make sure he himself would never again be one of them.


2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Shane West is a trustworthy, loyal, faithful, respectful, serious, and kind man.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
I realize the Combine Civil Authority isn't just something you immediately get accepted into. I will have to train to become strong and strict, so as to prevent the criminals from taking over. I also realize I must take responsibility for my actions.

I believe it will be a difficult adventure, though I am willing to pursue it. I accept any challenge that comes my way, day or night. Training is an important part of the CCA and I am looking forward to it. I know that I will be helpful and will do whatever I can to assist the CCA.

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.
Shane West was born and raised in Texas. As a young boy, his father had passed away, leaving his mother to support him and his two brothers alone. The day he turned sixteen he got a job working day and night. Finally, it was within his power to help support his family. Even though Shane was working as hard as he could, they were still barely able to live. He decided to pursue a career elsewhere to get more money, which turned out to be in Florida. After working at a bank for just over eight years, achieving best employee titles repeatedly and eventually becoming the bank manager, he now had an ample salary. He was now twenty-four years old and had enough money now to move his family to the beautiful Sunshine State.

Shane's mom was proud of him, and he and his brothers were closer than ever. He and his family packed everything up and hit the road. During the long ride there, he noticed that his mother was feeling very nervous about moving. He shrugged it off as he figured it was simply because she was not used to being in a different state. When he questioned her, she just responded that she felt car sick. This wasn’t like her, though, so it still bothered him in the back of his mind.
 
Florida was his top choice; it had a good economy and fun places to go like the beach. Despite all that, mother turned out to definitely be frightened of the region. One week into moving into the new house, he came to the realization that she was scared of the immense population of criminals; everywhere they were surrounded by people set out to harm others, and every day the evening news seemed to revolve more and more around gruesome incidents around the city. One night Shane and his brothers were celebrating so they had all gone to a party. As they were leaving in the late hours, Shane noticed someone following them and became nervous. He told his brothers to speed up, but they were drunk and stumbling over each other. Shane kept looking back, hoping the strangers would break off and leave them alone, but they just kept closing the distance. Closer they came until suddenly they stopped, pulled out guns from their jackets, and shot both his brothers right in front of him. They folded over and collapsed immediately as the bullets hit with almost perfect accuracy. The world became blurry as tears welled up in his eyes. He became deaf to all sounds around him as he realized the loss and his screams echoed into the night. Their blood spewed on him, leaving messy red stains all over him and his clothes. It seemed like an eternity in the darkness; their heartbeats slowing until nothing made a sound. They were gone… dead.

Portal storms had been happening since 2015, transporting antlions, headcrabs and other nasty foreign creatures to Earth. Citizens were being transferred into the larger cities that were surrounded by giant walls and other defenses to keep the unwanted on the outside. The portal storms began bringing other abominations, as well as armed forces called the Combine. Police and army forces tried to hold off the Combine for as long as they could, but more and more of them were dying. The Combine relentlessly continued to swarm out and kill or imprison anyone that resisted. These events are known as the beginning of the Seven Hour War. Portables and ships of all sizes were shooting out of the sky down upon Earth. By the sixth hour, the Combine had murdered everyone under eighteen and everyone over sixty-five years old. By the seventh and final hour, they were emitting some sort of signal from the center of all cities that prevented pregnancies and instantly killing any unborn babies. It was an absolutely devastating war, resulting in billions of deaths. At the end of the war, Dr. Wallace Breen negotiated with the Combine to save mankind and was made Combine administrator of Earth.

At the beginning of the Seven Hour War, Shane was transferred to a new city while all the chaos was occurring. Breaking off from the group, he hid in a nearby building, not knowing what else to do and scared out of his mind. He heard heavy footsteps and as the Combine marched up, he put his hands up in surrender. Something knocked him out cold on the floor. As the Combine assaulted Earth and took over, an unconscious Shane continued to be transported with a nervous and scared group of people. At the end of the seventh hour, Shane finally regained consciousness. Dr. Breen declared publicly that now that the war was over, the Combine could help them all have a better life.

Shane was released a day later and was walking around City 45, wondering where he was. It was a big change for him; everyone has blue jumpsuits with name tags, and so did he. It was so strange not seeing any kids running around and how different everything looked. Shane learned much about the Universal Union through reading books obtained from a CWU worker. He was overwhelmed with the Universal Union’s generosity towards them. When he heard that rations were available, Shane was among the first in line to get them. As he combed through the packets assigned to him by his Unit ID, he found a hundred tokens, Breen water, and Citizen Supplement. A CWU worker informed him the tokens were to be used to buy any supplies he needed. His new life had begun.

     On a bright, freezing, cold winter morning, my character Shane West was strolling along the coast when suddenly his eyes hit a sign reading; "City 45". Shane starts to realize this... is it. He had officialy been transferred, to a new area, with new "friends"; and new everything. Looking straight ahead, Shane notices a little blue book, resting upon the icy surface. "The Benefit of the Universal Union" is what the title of this book had read. Slowly, he reaches beneath him to investigate this "story".

    As Shane starts going further into the book, his mind begins to tremble; he was amazed and in pure serenity. All he wants is to be a loyalist; will this help? Shane pondered on the insane amount of benefits the book had to share, he will make it. He will become a loyalist. Shane began to explore the land; moving from precinct 1 to precinct 3, he realizes this where the cops can no longer roam.

     Roaming throughout the walk ways, Shane starts to be trampled by these four muggers. The sound of high-heeled shoes hitting the ground had stopped the muggers. They searched the walk way, and in the corner of their eyes they had seen a woman. Leaving Shane behind, they sneakily run to the woman, pouncing from behind; they beat her to death. Thus beginning his curiousity and need to join the Combine Civil Authority. The sight he had witnessed was so horrid, it made him want to bring down the hammer on all criminals. He will and needs to help the poor innocent people.

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.
I was born and raised in Texas, and as a young boy my father had passed away; leading my mother to be left to support my two brothers and I. The second I had turned sixteen, I got a job working day and night. It was my turn to help support my family. We had loads of money strolling in. Between me and my mom, by the time that i was 24; we had enough money to move to the beautiful sun state.

Florida was my top choice, although mother had always been frightened of that place. It was a week later and i realized why she was so scared...criminals, everywhere all around us were muggers. One night my brothers and I had gone to a party, as we were leaving we noticed someone following us so we decided to speed up. Closer and closer they grew, until BAM! They shot both my brothers...right there infront of my eyes. Their blood spued on me, leaving faint stains on my shirt. They were gone, dead.

All I loved had been taken from me, i was and still am left with nothing. After the funeral my mother wanted nothing to do with me, blaming everything upon me that had happened that night. We stopped speaking, we stopped seeing each other, until the Seven Hour War. Immediately, portables start shooting from the sky, then ships start shooting from the sky down upon our land.  The Combines started to invade Earth, attacking everything that came in their way. Hours later Dr. Brain forfeited the war which lead to his leadership. The first thing Brain had down was murder every single 18 year old, and cause pregnancy to never occur.

Those muggers, that awful horrid war, and my mom are all the reasons for my dying desire to be in the Combine Civil Authority.
