Part one: AUTHS-Cooking, Knives.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Today William, I'm going to teach you how to use the Carving Knife." His boss told him, on his seventh day at work at the local Greek Grocery. He was only fifteen, and he already was working his first job. Excitedly, he hopped over the counter, and began to learn his work.
"Will, Don't do that."
"Do what?" He instantly snaps to damage control.
"Don't hop over the counter. Very dangerous."
"A..Allright...."
"Let's begin." The owner, Mike, drew a large, sharp knife from a leather holding case on the counter.
He flips the blade, catching it on the top, at the metal side. He offers it to Will.
Will accepts the blade, wrapping his fingers around the grip, spreading them, and resting his thumb on the blade, at the top of the hilt.
"You grip the blade wrong. Move your thumb down, and close your fingers."
He adjusts, and grips the blade properly.
"Good, now, when cutting the gyro, you slice down, and away. Never, /never/, slice up or towards you. This is a bad idea."
Will slides the blade down along the meat, making a thick, clumsy cut.
"It's...a start...." His boss says, as william practices more.
After weeks of practice and hard work, William honed his skills with the knife. He could create the finest, thin cuts of gyro. And he moved on, mastering the motions of chopping, and stabbing. He could create the best Salads with grace and ease.

He however, was not only learning cutting skills, but cooking skills.
"Will, you need to learn how to fry."
"It's easy, right?"
"It can be. It can also be easy to mess up." Mike walks up to a deep fryer, and flips it on. Soon afterwards, the oil is hot and bubbling. While this happens, he walks to the freezer, and shows William around.
"Here you can find everything you need. Today, we will be working with Waffle fries. Cooking waffle fries is simple, you simply fill the frying tray, Drop it in the oil, and wait for 4 minutes."
"Allright, not too hard."
"While that cooks, I will teach you how to make a Chicken Parmesan sandwich. This is also rather easy."
"Okay, let's start!"
"First, you must put some chicken in the fryer. This is the same as the Waffle fries. Insert, wait. Step two, you must take a hero roll, and cut it."
William pulls a roll from the shelf, puts it on a plate, and cuts it open expertly, leaving a "Tie" at the end.
"Coat the hero in cheese and sauce, than put it in the microwave for two minutes."
William does so, pressing the proper preset on the microwave.
"Good, now we wait. Don't forget to check the chicken and make sure it is't raw after it's done cooking."
He cuts the nugget open at the widest point, on the largest one.
"Any pink, and it goes back in. After that, It's just assembly."
Will takes the chicken,and puts it on the hero, he closes the bun, moves it over, and pours the waffle fries next to it.
"Good job, You've learned how to cook."
Will grinned, and brought the sandwich to the front.

Three weeks after his first lesson, His boss moved him onto a second.
"Allright William, you can slice, and you can chop. You now need to learn how to use your knife as not only a tool, but an extension of yourself."
"What do you mean?"
"A knife can be used for all kinds of things, not just cutting. Pick up the Ceratted knife on the counter, there."
He picks up the knife, and looks it over.
"It's not too complicated, use it to cut that roll."
He, without saying a word, cuts the roll perfectly in half, as if making a sandwich.
"Good, now try the tomato."
"Okay..."
He tries to cut the tomato, and turns it into a goopy mess.
"That didn't work."
"No, it Didn't. You need the right tool for the job."
Mike then grabs a smooth-bladed, freshly sharpened knife.
"Use this for soft things. Like, the gyro meat, or tomatoes. Use the Cerrated blade for harder things, like rolls and Lettuce."
"Allright, moving on?"
"You've learned all I can teach you, good luck, Will."
Will smiles, and spins the smooth-blade in his hand, he stabs it into the table. It vibrates as he lets go

Part 2: AUTHS- Freerunning
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh It'll be fun." Amanda said, as she dangled her toes over the edge.
"I don't know....I'm worried about....Falling."
"Don't worry, you'll be okay.""
"Er...."
"C'mon, Will!" Amanda said as she jumped off the side of the building...
Amanda and William had been going out for one year, They were juniors in college, and Amanda was a Free-runner. She was finally taking Will on an excursion along the city rooftops.
"Woah!" Will shouted, as Amanda landed on the next roof over, and rolled, to get rid of excess energy from the fall.
"Now your turn, it's not too hard, give it a try."
Will decides, "Fuck it." and jumps. He lands, knees bent, on the other roof.
"Good job, but you need to learn to roll, or all that speed is gone. Okay?"
Will nods, as he is taught how to roll.
"It's simple, just let your arms out, and lean forward. When your hands make contact, bend your head left and relax your elbows. You should land towards your shoulder, but if you roll, the shock will be spread along your shoulder, back, and butt. Not painful, at all then. If you remember physics class, More energy over more surface area over more time equals less effect. After that, use the momentum to hop to your feet, and continue running. Simple, right?"
"Yeah!" Will shouts. He hops onto a vent, and tries again. Down he goes, and he flunks horribly, ending up on his back, in incredible hand and leg pain.
"Oh my god! Hahaha!" Amanda bursts out laughing at his display. "A little more practice first, 'Eh?"
"Yeah..."
And so, they continued their freerun practice.
"Theres a lot more to running than just jumping and rolling. You need to know how to maneuver your body."
"Okay."
"Try to hop over that banister."
Will jumps into the air, and plants a hand on the banister. His downward momentum is onto the banister, he gets over, but he's stopped at the other side.
"See the problem? You're wasting energy. It's all about forward momentum. If your moving forward, you will spread your energy throughout a larger surface area. Less impact for you, and you maintain your momentum once your up. Try again."
"Allright." Will, this time, sprints for the barrier, than repeats the motion. He has flung himself over, and he continues running, than he jogs back.
"I see what you mean, amanda!"
"Good, now try the roll again. This time, don't run. Start at the ground, Kneel. Put your left hand under your front, right foot. Make sure your elbow is on the Inside of your knee, and try to preform the roll."
He tries again, and rolls, over his shoulder and back, into a kneel again.
"Good job! Same thing, standing, hold your hands out, kinda like a handstand, but bend your elbows on contact. Don't forget, head to the left."
He goes, and he rolls. His head does not touch the ground, and the impact is spread between his back, shoulders, and legs.
"Again, Great Job! Now try the building."
He gulps. "T-The building?"
"Yes, go on now."
He stands at the edge, after climbing the stairs again, out of breath. He pants, paces a couple times, builds up some nerve, and goes for it. He runs to the edge, and Jumps...
He flies over the gap between the building, midair, he twists his body out flat, like he was flying. Near impact, he tilts forwards, arms extended. His arms touch the ground, and he instantly bends them, his shoulder connects, and he rolls, down his back, across his legs, and he tucks, and extends, up onto his feet.
...He lands, a perfect roll.
"Great job, Will! Now, we run."
They both set off into the sunset, across the rooftops of the city.

Part 3-AUTHS:Hand to Hand, Shooting.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Years after freerunning with Amanda, Will and Amanda went their seperate ways. They realised they weren't made for each other, and they should no longer be together. Details, details, for another date. One thing will did see though, was all the horrible things that happen in  a city. It's very different from a rooftop, windows are much more visible, and alleys are suddenly streets, and streets are suddenly alleys. Will knew, there was a lot of bad in the world, and he wanted to be prepared for it.
"Welcome to World Tae-Kwon-Doe", The sign read as he walked in. He stepped forward to the desk, and spoke to the old looking asian man sitting there. He discussed his will to learn to fight. The man told him he was too old for a place like this. He told him to go somewhere else, one of those military courses. Will insisted, he said he had to learn to fight. The man had no choice, so he accepted.
Will began in a class for 'White belts.' It was filled with five year olds, and was clearly an exercise in 'self-esteem.' What will liked to call, ego-boosters, ruining the generation under him. He 'earned' his way up to yellow and green, and by the time he reached blue, the Asian man at the desk took pity on him.
The man he now knew as "Master Wou" began teaching him hand to hand combat, for real. "Master Wou" was a Tae Kwon Doe Seventh Don Blackbelt. He knew, just about all there was too know, about fighting. He took him under his wing, and the first thing he did was got rid of the silly 'Blue' belt the man was wearing.  He said "These ranks are for the children, you will learn properly." And so he began, he learned his way through how to fight. Blocks, Kicks, and Punches, was where he began. By the time he was finished, he could turn your own punch against you, in very many ways. Though, he was nowhere as experienced as "Master Wou", whom could take a simple punch, and somehow, have you find yourself on the wall, in immense pain all over your body.
While he learned hand to hand combat, he was trained in riflery and shooting. He took a basic hunters saftey course, and learned how to operate and shoot a gun. For him, it was much easer than fighting. Just, basic instruction. Your finger remains off the trigger when you are not shooting, it does not lower to the trigger untill you fire. Keep your arms steady when sighting your rifle. When using 'iron-sights', your shot will end up slightly above the tip of your sights. Aim for that. Your sights are ligned up when the three dots make a straight line. Anything else, you are not accurate. To load the weapon, insert a magazine, and chamber a round. To chamber a round, either draw or drop the bolt. If you draw the bolt, your 'Heating up.' the gun. If you are dropping the bolt, you have already fired, the bolt was back, and your gun is now 'Hot.' When you have a hot firearm, you are to aim only down the range. Make sure your weapons are cold, Bolts locked open, magazines out, before you turn them away from the range. And most importantly, /never/ point one at another person.  Will figured, all of this is useful, except that last part. He was considering buying a handgun of his own, when the world pretty much, began to end.

William Crest's Civil Authority Application

OOC Name: Tapir!

IC Character Name: William Crest.

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.
William Crest has always been a survivor, in his mind. He's, over his lifetime, gained the skills he needed to make it through his life. Throughout his young life, he was the first in his grade to get a job. He took the time to learn the practices of Shooting and Hand to Hand combat. He learned how to properly navigate an urban terrain, safely, and quickly, more quickly than the streets.

Post-war was no different for him. He saw survivability with the CCA. He saw a force, that although they are very strict and harsh, they are safe. He saw P3, he saw all the dangers of living there. The deaths, the aliens, the monsters. All of it told him "Death." And the CCA, the Order, the Control, it screamed "Survive."

The turning point for his decision, was a display of power by CmD 03109. He proved the Civil Protectors true devotion to the saftey of their city by gunning down an anti-citizen in cold blood. At first, admittedly, he was scared. But soon, he realised how powerful of a display this was, and he realised, he needed to do his part to help.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Sly-He can think his way out of situations
Confident- He is sure of himself
Intelligent- He knows what's right and wrong for him
Realistic- He knows what to expect

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
For me, i know what it's going to be. I've gone through two recruits, I know what it's like. I'm regretful of how I played with those recruits, I made too many mistakes. I've never had a unit above the rank of RCT. I hope for a third chance, a chance to prove that I can do the CCA. I appologise for any behavior or actions that may have been considired unacceptable when i had my recruits.

My character expects a chance to survive. He knows that the CCA is, safe (Oh boy, he's in for a surprise.) He doesn't expect a free ride, though. He knows about amputation, and he knows he will have to swing the baton and pull the trigger someday. He hopes the CCA will though, offer him something he didn't get as a Citizen. Not just a chance to survive, but a chance to Live.

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.
Wills life began, like everyone elses, at birth. He was born into a family of great wealth, and great knowledge. He lived in the rich part of his neighborhood, but he went to public school. His parents gave him no allowance, They wanted him to learn and earn on his own. He was the first child in his age-group to get a job. He worked at a Greek Deli/Grocery, where he learned how to cut and cook. He made everything from chopped salads to sandwiches. He would soon find that these skills could become something he could use later in life, not only then, when he was working at the Deli for money. His skills would indeed come to use later on.

 As he grew older, he learned about the world around him. He saw the good, and the evil. He ran along the rooftops, with his girlfriend Amanda, and he saw what really happened in the city. He ran along the rooftops, and he witnessed all kinds of things. He saw women get raped, and children get beaten. He saw the awful, awful things a city could do, and he decided he needed to do something. He stepped up, and said he needed to protect himself. He learned how to fight, and he learned how to shoot.  For his best interests, he needed to know how to stop bad things from happening to him. Soon enough, though, he found that the resonance cascade began.

He was lucky enough to be visiting Vienna when it all went down. It began slowly at first. He saw a strider vehicle in the distance, and he ran back to his hotel to hide. As things escalated, he saw the entire city get destroyed, and he watched the tallest building he’d ever seen, taller than anything in the world, be erected in mere minutes. It grew from the ground, like some giant living thing, and spewed out all the terrors of the Combine. He hid as people were killed in the streets, and structures were erected all around him. After this, the building which used to be a hotel, was now Union Civil housing. He was found, and he was moved to the train station. He was issued a CID Card, and told to wait. After a little while, they were let into the city, and so, his adventures began.


5) Have you ever had a CCA character here at Catalyst Gaming?  If so, explain why it was removed.
Yes. Two Recruits. One was killed by UED, one for Three Blackmarks. I think I've learned  a lot from having them, and want a third chance. I will not create a repeat of any past incidences.

7. What�s your most memorable quality RP experience?
Like I said in my Last app:
I was playing on a DarkRP server, and there were a bunch of hobos that had set up a prop City. I was the mayor, and I had allowed them to do this. Soon though, they built a wall, and they put catwalks on the wall. They used these catwalks to toss poo at all the People who passed by. Eventually, we got sick of it, so we boxed off their city with clear barricades. They used these to their advantage, hired a weapons dealer, and began harboring criminals and attacking Officers. We engaged a war, and took them down. Soon enough, I was standing on a pedastal, and ordering my force to "Tear down the city." and teach everyone that no deed goes unpunished. It was very reminiscent of The Dark Knight, and it was very fun. After clearing out the city, we banished the hobos to the underground.

8. Do you consider yourself a good listener?
Yes.

"Yes, go on now."
He stands at the edge, after climbing the stairs again, out of breath. He pants, paces a couple times, builds up some nerve, and goes for it. He runs to the edge, and Jumps...
He flies over the gap between the building, midair, he twists his body out flat, like he was flying. Near impact, he tilts forwards, arms extended. His arms touch the ground, and he instantly bends them, his shoulder connects, and he rolls, down his back, across his legs, and he tucks, and extends, up onto his feet.
...He lands, a perfect roll.
"Great job, Will! Now, we run."
They both set off into the sunset, across the rooftops of the city.

Part 3-AUTHS:Hand to Hand, Shooting.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Years after freerunning with Amanda, Will and Amanda went their seperate ways. They realised they weren't made for each other, and they should no longer be together. Details, details, for another date. One thing will did see though, was all the horrible things that happen in  a city. It's very different from a rooftop, windows are much more visible, and alleys are suddenly streets, and streets are suddenly alleys. Will knew, there was a lot of bad in the world, and he wanted to be prepared for it.
"Welcome to World Tae-Kwon-Doe", The sign read as he walked in. He stepped forward to the desk, and spoke to the old looking asian man sitting there. He discussed his will to learn to fight. The man told him he was too old for a place like this. He told him to go somewhere else, one of those military courses. Will insisted, he said he had to learn to fight. The man had no choice, so he accepted.
Will began in a class for 'White belts.' It was filled with five year olds, and was clearly an exercise in 'self-esteem.' What will liked to call, ego-boosters, ruining the generation under him. He 'earned' his way up to yellow and green, and by the time he reached blue, the Asian man at the desk took pity on him.
The man he now knew as "Master Wou" began teaching him hand to hand combat, for real. "Master Wou" was a Tae Kwon Doe Seventh Don Blackbelt. He knew, just about all there was too know, about fighting. He took him under his wing, and the first thing he did was got rid of the silly 'Blue' belt the man was wearing.  He said "These ranks are for the children, you will learn properly." And so he began, he learned his way through how to fight. Blocks, Kicks, and Punches, was where he began. By the time he was finished, he could turn your own punch against you, in very many ways. Though, he was nowhere as experienced as "Master Wou", whom could take a simple punch, and somehow, have you find yourself on the wall, in immense pain all over your body.
While he learned hand to hand combat, he was trained in riflery and shooting. He took a basic hunters saftey course, and learned how to operate and shoot a gun. For him, it was much easer than fighting. Just, basic instruction. Your finger remains off the trigger when you are not shooting, it does not lower to the trigger untill you fire. Keep your arms steady when sighting your rifle. When using 'iron-sights', your shot will end up slightly above the tip of your sights. Aim for that. Your sights are ligned up when the three dots make a straight line. Anything else, you are not accurate. To load the weapon, insert a magazine, and chamber a round. To chamber a round, either draw or drop the bolt. If you draw the bolt, your 'Heating up.' the gun. If you are dropping the bolt, you have already fired, the bolt was back, and your gun is now 'Hot.' When you have a hot firearm, you are to aim only down the range. Make sure your weapons are cold, Bolts locked open, magazines out, before you turn them away from the range. And most importantly, /never/ point one at another person.  Will figured, all of this is useful, except that last part. He was considering buying a handgun of his own, when the world pretty much, began to end.

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
Jason Michales was awoken by a loud beep. He opened his eyes slowly, thinking to himself, "Agh crap, another day at work. Fuck this alarm clock." As the beeping grew more rapid, he began to snap to reality, and realize what was going on. "Shit!" He curses out loud, sweeping his hand along the nightstand next to his desk, looking for the plastic firearm he must keep on his person at all times. As the beeping grew more rapid, he could not find it, he frantically swept the drawers, and turned over the stand, pouring its contents onto the ground. It's too late. *BOOM* He ducks, and the door to his bedroom flies open, smashing into the wall inches above his head. Four CCA Officers walk in, wielding MP7s, and a fifth steps through the doors threshold, wielding a shotgun, and wearing a trench coat. "<:: How do you expect to survive for one moment on the street, if you cant keep your firearm with you, at all times, RAT?" The man in the bed is unphased, clearly this has happened to him before. He stares at the 01 and says, "How can I keep my firearm, if you keep stealing it right from my room." A blunt reply is heard. "<:: Don't Like it? Quit." Before the four CCA Officers, Varying in rank, Unload the MP7s on the man, The 01 tosses the plastic USP Match onto Jasons bedspread. He is hit with a flurry of Class 2 Paint Free Si-munition, or Rubber Bullets. The man is wearing no protection, and he is heavily bruised. His screams of pain still cannot be heard over the sound of Four MP7s firing at once. As soon as the officers stop shooting, the man curls up on the bed in pain, and the radio on his nightstand clicks and transmits "<::Confirm 34S?" Moments later, the 01 from earlier is heard saying "<::Just training the RCAOTC 'croot."

**RCAOTC, or Reserve Civil Authority Officers Training Course was an exclusive citizens program, handpicked by the SeC, Recruit applicants in this program are enlisted as the rank of 03 upon completion of the program.**

After the flurry of bullets, the Officers left the man to his buisness. After they left, he spent 5 minutes, no more, on the bed, tending to his wounds. Once completed, he spent the next 10 minutes donning his Medium grade kevlar, with the RCAOTC armband, he however, does not wear a helmet. If a recruit is treated like a Citizen in a uniform, than an RCAOTC recruit is treated like walking dirt. Not only are they a recruit, but they're recruits under the left wing of the SeC. They are often hated, untill they don the 03 badge and melt themselves into the ranks of their division. He sighs, and lifts the metal door off the wall, sliding the hinges back in place, the door designed to be breached and easily replaced. "Another day, another death march" He sighs, as he walks across the catwalk from R-CAO Housing to the Nexus. His day began, as it usually does, with a training session with the first available UNIFORM TrO. After his lesson was complete, He'd attach to his usual day-to-day officer, C25.CCA.GRID-02.556, and observe all tactics first hand, excluding outdoor patrol. He would assist as he could in detention and construction, and he would watch him go about his daily buisness. His day would end in a short Training session with UU.SeC.14028, Learning more hands-on skills specific to RCAOTC, basically, their excuse for the out-of-the-box promotion to 03. He would spend his nights studying the Recruits Manifest, and the 05s 04s and 03s Manifest, making sure he understood everything on the manifests, fully.  His sleep time was only about 2-3 hours per day.

Soon though, this would all draw to an end for him. An Exogen breach, and being trapped in a Train Station would force him away, into City 45, and where he is today.

His day was ending, as all others, with a training session with the SeC. Today, he was supposed to be learning advanced hand to hand, and being introduced to GRID High Command. Instead, they ended up conversing in the Garage, while 556 repaired a Scanner, Grumbling at their Conversation. "<::Are you saying that we should add more patrols to the city streets, Recruit?" "No, No, sir.  What I'm saying is we need to overhaul the process, something should be done to change the /way/ patrols are done."  556 Grumbled at the idle conversation this man was making with the SeC. It showed that RCAOTC was really just the SeCs friends club, and nothing more. "<:: I can see why you'd make a comment but-" The SeC (At this point, he's clearly no good at his job) was cut off by a Loud explosion, and all kinds of shouts coming over the radio, all along the lines of "Exogen Breach." "<:: All Units, Report Status. Dispatch, Transmit Containment Protocol. Initiate Judgment Waiver, Get the citizens to a safe location." The SeC radioed, than ordered the R-CAO, "<::Take off your Training Uniform, Get in Citizen Fatigues, and get to UCH. You'll only hinder at this point." The Recruit obeyed with velocity, making his way to the Nexus Airlock and outside in seconds.

He had no idea what he was running into though, and ended up Face to Face with an Antlion. His life was saved by an OTA Transhuman unit, before it tossed him into the Train Station, the nearest safe area, located next to the Nexus. After that, his life changed forever when a Unit in the train station Mistook a Code red for an Evacuation order, and shoved him onto a RAZOR, headed for City 45. And so, his story in C45 begins.

Reason for Un-PK:I was working booth One in the RDT, KMP walked in, as if a citizen, he claimed that I could not do the job. I displayed the Console to my right, and the screen to my left, for inputing Citizens information. He decided, this was not true, and he decided to amputate me. I think, this is wrong, and my unit should not have been amputated for that, because he was putting in the information.

The reasoning has been explained by RTLK. My Counterargument is that it was 1AM and my binds weren't working. I'd pressed it for the first few citizens, noticed nothing was going through, and thought "fuck it." Then KMP showed up, and like a jerk, gave me an OOC blackmark for it. I understand its his job blahblahblhalhlbha. Thanx 4 teh good times gaiz, but i'm not going through the training a third time. byenow.

<::|| Oh man... I hope this thing is working right. Okay, Here goes, my first log. There's so much to say, so much to talk about. I wonder if anybody else can read this. I set it to private, but, if this is anything like pre-war internet, you can never be too sure... *A slight chuckle can be heard* Oh who am I kidding. Well, Here goes. Life's been....Strange, ever since I joined the Civil Authority. There's so much to remember, to know. How to salute, how to behave in-front of him or her, the Constant Drilling, the Loyalty Tests by the UEDs. It's all so, overwhelming. I'm already making friends and enemies. Oh One Seven, for example. She's in APEX, but her armband is different, It's Green. I've seen it on a couple other people too. I have no idea what it means. I digress. Anyway, I met her in the break room. She seemed angry one day, so I tried to cheer her up, talk about it. Apparently, that's a bad idea. She thought i was trying to annoy her, or something. She told me to 'back off Crootie-' *the recruit suddenly stops talking* Yeah, you get the idea. She wasn't too happy with me. I've made, what I think, to be friends too. I was watching this high command unit, 717 were his digits, Interrogate a citizen I'd brought in, who was a part of this RED resistance group. I stood and chatted with 060, observing closely how the OfC went about the interrogation. He'd also asked me to stay, he said he might need me later, I had no idea for what, but he said he might. Anyway, eventually it came up in conversation that 060 used to be an EU. An /Elite Unit/! I was talking to an Elite Unit like it was /nothing/. Obviously, I was floored when he said this. I'm not going to bore myself with the details of the conversation, I've heard it myself, why bother saying it?... *A sigh is heard into the microphone.* I've been hearing a lot about this 630 unit....An Ex-GRID 01, who was killed by 03109. I'm not looking to fill any shoes, but it sounds like, if I do join GRID, I have my work cut out for me. *A laugh is heard, half nervous, half excited.* Personally, I just want to get training over with, and become an 05. Three more days...I hope I make it...

*A hiss and a click can be heard as the Unit Replaces his facemask.*

Harrison Smutson's Civil Authority Application

OOC Name: Tapir!

IC Character Name: Harrison Smutson

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, Harrison Smutson, wants to join the CCA for a multitude of reasons. However, two things for him offer the biggest pull. The first of these things being the fact that the UU has offered him a home and protection, and he feels he needs to give back. The second of these things being how well he's been treated by most of the officers below EU rank that he's met so far.

Harrison has been living under the UU (clearly) since the beginning of the Resonance cascade. The UU offered him protection from the dangerous, violent, and scary aliens that he encountered when the Cascade first began. He originally hailed from city 276 [so shoot me if i get the number wrong] in Sydney, but something, perhaps a computer glitch, sent him to City 18, and subsequently (18 being destroyed before he got there) City 45. The UU continued to offer him protection throughout his whole journey, which greatly influenced his decision to join the CCA when he arrived at City 45.

Secondly, he's so far had great experience with the Officers. When he does talk to them, they are usually very kind now that he knows a lot of them. Many officers know him by name, from various reasons. he's found that now that he has the Points, officers are more willing to give points to him, and he feels that this is their way of saying &quot;We want you to take the next step.&quot; He's also had some conversations with GRID OfC 492 (the only officer he trusts, a bit, to be predictable) and is very confident that he want's to join GRID.

On another side note he also appreciates the great variety the CCA shows in City 45. In most all of the cities he stopped in, either he wasn't there long enough to meet the force, or of the force he saw, the only ranked items officals displayed were trench coats, mabye. Here, he sees modified masks, and these strange ranks he's never heard of. It's piqued his intrest, and he wants to learn more. Only way to learn more, is to enlist.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Harrison is smart, and logical. He absorbes knowledge quickly, and is not one to make mistakes. He can think on his own, but is also good at taking orders. He's not the most observant man, he wont pick up on Tiny details, but he's good at understanding people and how they will react in certain situations, predicting things, if you will. The Civil Protection High Command scares the living daylights out of him, because he finds them all (Especially SeC and OTA) to be incrediably unpredictable. Being nonchalant at one moment, and throwing him under scalding showers the next.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
Harrison expects a lot from the CCA, but he knows he won't reach it quickly. He's seen the ranks, and chatted with recruits, and he more-or-less understands it will take him a lot of time to earn, even a firearm and datapad, before he can learn more about the SeC and how high command works. He knows he'd be in the CCA for the long haul, and he's ready for it. He also sees it as the perfect chance to not just survive, but thrive. He doesn't 100% agree with the UUs message (Especially involving Vortigaunts), but he knows his best chances are with the Combine, not against them.

I expect a new chance to try some different roleplay. Rather than being beaten around, I'll be the one in control. I've had a CCA character before, and i'm very interested in seeing how this server runs their stuff, considering each server clearly does things differently. It'll be nice to wield a stun baton again. And i'm also interested in the different parts of the nexus and stuff that are added by CG, for CG.

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.
Harrisons story starts in the Australian outback, where he begun life with his family of one brother and one sister, and both his mother and his father. Harrison lived out in the middle of nowhere, but his family certainly wasn't poor. He lived in a large mansion in the middle of the outback [Think the mansion from &quot;The House of The Scorpion&quot;], with plenty of modern technology all around them. As soon as he came of age, Harrison went to college. He'd always dreamed of leaving his island continent and visiting somewhere exotic, like Rio de Janiero, but he never got the chance. Not long after Harrison graduated, the Resonance cascade began, and Xen life started appearing. He lost his mother to an ant-lion, and his father to a Head crab. He was able to save his younger siblings, only until the combine came.

Harrison was without family, and living in City 276 under the control of an insane SeC officer, whom he didn't even know about. He saw the CAs speeches take place at gunpoint, and he saw all kinds of cruel things happen. Eventually though, unbeknownst to him, the speedily promoted SeC officer was speedily taken care of, and the city leveled out quickly. It wasn't long before he moved on from his dead family, with the help of high quantities of breens water, and decided to begin life Anew in City 276. It also wasn't long before the nexus systems for his area malfunctioned, and began relocating citizens to other cities. Harrison was sent to city 18, and was soon shipped out on his way.

Harrison spent the next six months traveling, from city to city. He took the RAZOR train from City 276 all the way to the northern coastal city 231, and onto a shipping frigate to be sent to the Cape of Good Hope. After spending two weeks at sea, surviving only on daily rations, he was sent into a transport dropship to be flown across the Sahara desert, because the Combine had no train systems there. Onboard the craft along with him, put to sleep, were a group of Stalkers and a group of CONSCRIPTED vortigaunts. The vortigaunts and Human onboard had a pre-determined sleep time, whereas the stalkers could be put down and awoken at any time because they were modified by the combine and were in stasis.

Of course, as all stories go, harrison encountered some complications on his way across the desert. The ship carrying him along encountered some malfunctions, and began a speedy decent into the desert. After the crash, Harrison awoke to find all of the CONSCRIPTS dead, and to be face to face with a sleeping Stalker. Having never seen a stalker, he panicked and left the wreck, finding outside one Vortigaunt whom had survived. The CONSCRIPT was wearing restraining devices, but they had been damaged in the crash, and saved his life by taking the brunt of the impact, being destroyed themselves. Harrison and the now free Vortigaunt spent a week surviving in the middle of the Sahara, which had become the worlds largest Antlion den.  The Vortigaunt, its name Long forgotten, fought alongside harrison to protect themselves from the antlions. From time to time, harrison would forrage for food, having found that the antlions stayed away from a (very lucky) nearby Oasis, and that many of the desert animals that would have been scattered around, ended up over there. At one point, Harrison was pinned against the wreckage of the ship, when the Vortigaunt came and saved his life. It soon ran out of energy, though, fighting back all the antlions, and was killed itself when one of them caught it by surprise. Not long after those events took place, a combine Search team came to recover anything they could from the wreckage. What they found, was a very bemused and hungry Harrison Smutson, Five dead Vortigaunts, and a dropship-load of Stalkers waiting to be transported to City 20. Harrison was among the list of &quot;Recovered Items&quot; and was shipped on his merry way to City 45, redirected after City 18 was destroyed while he was in the Desert.

And this, is pretty much where the story ends. Harrison arrived at city 45, on the train, just like everyone else. He was put into a station along the way, and picked up by the train before it arrived in City 45. There were no additions to harrisons record that would make him stick out, he was shown to have been to ten different cities, and the crash during transport was logged as &quot;Equipment Malfunction En-route to City 45.&quot; Nobody would know what happened with him and the vortigaunt, and the UU saw no reason to throw away a citizen for which so much hard work had been put to move (For seemingly unknown reasons) anyway, so they threw him into City 45 to live his life. And the rest, is server history.

5) Have you ever had a CCA character here at Catalyst Gaming?  If so, explain why it was removed.
No.

7. What�s your most memorable quality RP experience?
I was a mayor on a DarkRP server, and the hobos had built a small city out of props, between two warehouses owned by hobos. My attitude was, &quot;as long as the street urchins pay their taxes and behave, it's okay if they stay.&quot; The Hobos would often throw poo at citizens as they passed, and we decided it appropriate to build a clear shield around the front of their fascade so they couldn't stand on the wall and throw poo. They took the glass as an opportunity to become bullet-proof, and began harboring criminals and stopped paying their taxes. At that point, I sent in the entire police force to tear down the city (which, although could be considired abuse of powers, was in good RP), and detain any non-compliant hobos. I stood on a podium and gave a speech, Dark Knight style, telling the citizens that &quot;This is what happens when you disobey the law.&quot;After the city was torn down, and the illegal goods carted away, we left the rubble and pieces as a reminder, for the citizens to behave. (Which, of course, they didn't It's DarkRP, c'mon guys.)

8. Do you consider yourself a good listener?

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
Harrison was no super-genius, Nor was he dumb either. He could be considered, for lack of a better word, average. Before the Seven Hour war, Harrison was average in every way. He began his intelectual life, like all other children, in pre-school. He worked his way up to elementary, middle, and through high school without a hiccup. He passed with average grades, B's and C's. Harrison, in every way, was a normal child into his adulthood. Even his choice of majors in college were quite bland. Engineering, and Social Sciences. If Stephen Hawking represents the black, and Forrest Gump represents the white, Harrison was the perfect shade of grey. All this changed, when the resonance cascade began and the Seven Hour war came to Fruition.

Harrison lived in australia. Being an Island continent, it was among the last places to be hit by the Combine Invasion. Harrison, upon the combines arrival, was immediatley shoved into City 229, at the heart of what was once Sydney. Harrison found his stay in sydney, however, short lived. Some kind of computer glitch re-assigned Harrison to City 18. He was instantly shoved on a train, and spent the next few months moving from area to area, stopping for days or weeks at a time at cities. He stopped at City 186, in central australia. He was then taken to City 134 on the Northern coast. At each of these cities, he came to know, and on more than one occasion be rescued by, the officers of the town. Harrison had a nasty habit of being naieve to the world around him, and on more than one occasion, he was attacked by another citizen. The CCA always came to his aid, even though at times they themselves would attack him for infringments, like swearing or running.

After harrison spent 3 weeks on a shippment boat, loaded with goods headed for the coast, including dormant striders, hunters, stalkers, and OTA headed to africa. He was sedated and loaded onto a combine dropship, along with other supplies headed for City 62, his final stop before City 18. Before he made his way to City 62, the combine recieved word of City 18's collapse, and he was re-directed to City 45, after his stop in City 62. However, complications were encountered on harrisons trip. The Ship he was riding in malfunctioned, and, dropping its load, crashed over the Sahara.

After Harrisons alotted sleep time was completed, he awoke, rather than onboard a train headed for City 45, in the middle of the desert in a crash-zone. Alongside him awoke the only surviving CONSCRIPT, slightly injured, but most of its impact had been protected by the restraints on its body, rendered useless. Most of the Onboard Transhumans and Stalkers had survived the crash, but would not awake untill activated by the Combine, and therefore were ignored by Harrison and the now-free Vortigaunt. Harrison spent the next week with the vortigaunt, they helped to care for each other, and shared stories and conversations. The vortigaunt ended up getting killed by an antlion, saving Harrisons life, while he hid from the swarm inside the damaged Crate. Soon after, the Combine went to recover anything from the crash, and found 5/7 recoverable Stalkers and 8/8 Recoverable OTA. They also found all the CONSCRIPTS to be dead, and the human passanger to have survived. Eventually, Harrison was brought to City 62, and in connection, City 45, his final destination.

So, i found your RP server, sitting with like the highest populaton of any HL2RP server ever, and i thought, what the heck i'll try it. here i am, a meer 3 days later, and i've already purchaced VIP and am working my way up to the minimum post count to apply for the jobs and permissions i want in game. Thanks for giving me a chance to actually enjoy HL2RP again, and not have to deal with the dumb fail-rp minges at the servers i used to play at! And i'm excited to play so many more games in this community, and someday help it to grow and expand with even more monies, or help, or something. i dunno. wtva.
