The best time for a advisor crash, if it's even thought of doing, would probably be after a mild resistance attack (RPers, of course.) It would add slight reason of why the advisor crashed. As for scenario two, I'll be blunt here, it's stupid. Advisors are the combine overlords, and one just decides to fancy a walk to the Nexus randomly (Not to mention none are seen outside of the Citadel), and wants a report on the city when it could easily be given over the TV's.

I know Outlands will be more fun with more people on, especially with OTAs.

A great idea, but one flaw: Where would someone get a match, or were planning something more like an exploding turbine?

Aw, I hate you now.

EDIT: /me goes in and edits her page

OOC Section

OOC Name: Keyhen, and my names on other games (in case of emergancy) range from Keyhenna to Keyhen.

IC Character Name:Rodrick Feding

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.

Before the Seven Hour War, Rodrick was a normal person who grew up like almost every other kid, he lived in normal suburb. He went to school, had friends, eventually became a teenager (who got in trouble with friends sometimes) and in general, had fun. Years passed, and soon enough the portals started opening, and decided he should move the city, like what many other people around the United States seemed to be doing. After the combine came and started the war, he hid in his apartment and was soon relocated to City 17, then relocated again to City 18.

Rodrick has been in the city for a while now, and has seen his fair share of crimes, but recently there have been many more secret crimes that the Civil Protection havn't noticed yet. Some crimes have been seen in the apartments, along with the ration distribution building and the D2 walls. He has seen no Civil Protection around the blockade to D2 every once in a while, leading people to run in and steal blood packs from the old hospital (Sorry if my grammar is off here, I have a issue with posting on forums every once in a while,  I try to type something and the scroller keeps going up), which led him to apply for the CP.

He knows if he is able to get into the CP the training will be hard, but the positives will overcome the negatives.  Rodrick wants to help those innocent civilians and keep them from entering rebel movements that have happened in a few other cities, and were very soon crushed. Most of all, he wants to help protect sociedy from becoming the apes and ultimatly destroying themselves.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)

Rodrick is lawful and trustworthy, and dedicated to his job. He wont hesitate to amputate someone being unlawful.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?

I am expecting the training to be hard, but I will last through it. I have played as a CP on different RPs before (Dark RP, ect.), and have tried to keep the peace while people built. I do hope training and the actual thing will be a challange every day, as that is what will keep me going. I hope to get immersed in the RP and want to see what the other side is like, instead of being afraid of the combine.

My character expects, as said before, the training to be a challenge, but he is ready to step up to the plate. He hopes he will be able to protect the citizens from any rebels in the city, and try to stop the crimes, even though they will go on as more people have to be relocated to the city.

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.

Rodrick grew up in a suburb outside of New York City, having a normal childhood. His father was a soldier and his mother was a lawyer. He had many friends and was somewhat popular, but had a hard time keeping girlfriends. During his teenage years, he got in trouble every once in a while, but it wasnt usually his fault. His friends eventually left him, and he became one of the unpopular kids. He still had a few friends, but didnt mind, as he was used to being alone. During his last year in school, he became quite expirienced with computers.

Soon after he finished school, he bought his own house and made his own computer repair job in his house, making a normal income. His grandmother died soon after he got a house, changing him to be very lawful. However, it wasnt long until the portals started opening up. He along with his parents and many friends moved to the New York City, as many of his friends did. He managed to find a normal apartment with his parents, even though many were homeless, and took up his job again. But it wasnt before long that the combine invasion and the Seven Hour War began.

During the war, his mother was killed after being put in with a group of soldiers, and his dad died after being shot by a elite. Three hours into the war, he was hiding when a friend came in and told him about the death of his parents. He and the rest of the people in the apartments were then moved to the lobby. Not soon after, the Combine came in and took Rodrick and the others and put them into the normal city suits, and then moved him to City 17. His time there was very short lived, as a month after a small rebel movement began and was quickly crushed, but was relocated with many others for reasons unknown. He was moved to City 18, where he currently lives.

An event was going on, where rebels were holed up in a small town, me being one of them (Its the HL2 map where you have to cross the bridge to put down the combine forcefield). The servers CP units came after we were ready, and eventually me and three others, along with the citizens of the town, had to fall back to a building on the side of the bridge. The others were down below, preventing the CP from comming across the catwalks of the bridge, while me and the three others were up above, preventing them from jumping down straight into the buildings. Soon enough we were overcome, and had to surrender. The remaining people were put onto a train and sent back to the city.
