Character Section

Authorization(s):
A Antlion guard (Myrmidont).

Name: Thumper
Age: 600
Gender: Male
Affiliation: None

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
Thumper was born like any ordinary Antlion, but his skills were unmatched. He started fights with other Antlions his age if they s much as looked at him. His temper always getting the better of him as he charged into the Antlions, knocking them to the floor. He got punished many times but did not seem to care. One day Thumper was walking along the lower levels of the hives, admiring all the pretty blue colours as he strolled along casually when he stumbled along the packs grubs. He roared with delight before poking one of them with his pincer. The grub slowly moved away, obviously disturbed by the young Antlion. Thumper roared with delight again before continuously poking the grub. Thumper began to get more violent and started poking even harder before he actually pierced the skin of the Grub. The grub yelled out in pain as the blood came oozing out of it. Thumper began to panic and started running off, attempting to escape the hive before anyone found out what he had done. The young Antlion heard a massive roar and thuds as an Antlion guardian came bounding down the hallway to see what the commotion was about. Thumper quickly hid behind a rock, attempting not to be seen by the Antlion as he crawled around the rock, breathing heavily. The Antlion guardian gave off another roar. The ceiling shook as he did so. The young Antlion feared for his life. As the Antlion Guardian went to see the grub crying in pain, Thumper took his chance and ran as fast as he could down the hallway. His small pincers bounding off the floor as he made his way for the exit. More and more Antlions eyed him suspiciously as he ran past them. All Thumper focused on was getting out of there as soon as he could. More and more roars were heard as the Antlions caught news of Thumpers actions. The young Antlion finally saw the cave entrance that led to the world of Xen. He ran through into the blinding light and stopped. Looking around his surroundings for a moment. Suddenly Thumper heard bounding footsteps, as he turned he saw an Antlion guard bounding towards him. Thumper screeched and ran up a hill and into the mysterious world of Xen.

Thumper had travelled for years with no luck of finding anything. He travelled the plains alone. Sometimes hiding from vicious animals that were in his way. He was not angry anymore, but desperate. He fed off of anything he could find. Sometimes decaying corpses of other animals. If he was lucky. But he continued, in hope that one day a new hive would accept him. One day he wandered through a small passage until finding himself on a hill looking down at an Antlion guard. The young Antlion slid down the hill and rolled over, soon finding himself directly underneath the beast. The guard roared and pushed Thumper away. Thumper just sniffled before beginning to walk away. Until he heard a sound. About three bull squids came charging over a hill to his left and towards the Antlion guard, they began spitting at the guard. The guard roared and began to run at them all. The younger Antlion saw this as his opportunity and began to run at the one bullsquid the older guard had missed. Thumper gave off a high pitched roar before smashing into the bullsquid, sending him flying. Thumper jumped up and down before looking over to the Antlion guard. The Antlion guard paused for a moment before nudging Thumper towards the entrance of the cave. He was finally accepted to a pack.


As Thumper guarded his hive, he stood proudly in front of the cave that held his pack. He was a ferocious beast. If anything even got near the entrance he would charge straight away and knock them into the sky.  One day as the large Antlion guard stood guard at the entrance to the hives lair. He found himself staring at a rather large blue portal which seemed to have appeared from nowhere. He gave off a loud roar at the portal as he saw it as a threat. He charged at it. Not taking a second to think, some of his pack came out to see the commotion as the guard charged at the portal, giving off a loud roar as he did. He soon found himself getting teleported to the unknown realm of earth.
 He was still charging so accidently went into a tree. Thumper grunted before shaking his head and looking around him at his new surroundings. As soon as he felt ready he began to move over the grassy mountain plains. Fear struck him as he realised he was alone in this new, alien world. He moved across the mountains. He felt the ground underneath him. The blades of grass slowly flowing against his feet as he stood still, sniffing the air, feeling the vibrations against his feet and hearing the sounds of the wind blow against him. All of a sudden the vibrations started getting heavier. Thumper turned to where the vibrations were coming from and ran towards them. He soon found himself on a road. Thumper turned his head left to see a tunnel, then right to see a car bounding towards him with two people inside. “Shit!” he heard as he turned towards them and gave a large roar. The car swerved past him and into the tunnel. Thumper soon bounded after them and was on their tail. “Drive, drive!” the woman screamed as she kept turning round to see what Thumper was doing. The large Antlion guard was slowly catching up to the car and hit its back. It skidded before regaining itself. Thumper hit it again and it swerved off the road. Smashing into the wall. The woman flew out of the car and into the wall. She immediately died. But the male stayed inside the car and groaned as it came to a stop. Upside down. Thumper gave another roar before approaching the man. The man reached to his side and brought out a pistol, beginning to fire upon the Antlion. Thumper just roared and charged into the car, crushing it completely against the wall and killing the man instantly. Thumper roared again in triumph before carrying on down the long tunnel, attempting to find somewhere he could stay.
As Thumper continued he found himself at a decision. He could carry on down another tunnel. Or go up a small hill. He decided to venture up the hill and soon found himself at a town. He decided it did not matter and casually strolled through the town until he reached another hill going downwards. He groaned as he went down. But found a small cave. He went inside and decided that this would have to be his new home. In this alien world.


What will these authorizations give your character in regards to perks or defects?
Perks
A strong Antlion guard. (Not a guardian).
New RP choices and dialogue.
New RP for other players on the server.
Can take lots of damage and deal lots of damage.

Defects
He is quite large so would stand out.
He is alone at the moment so might be quite angry or depressed.
He might get hunted.
He is not that smart.

What do you plan to do with these perks/defects?
I plan to make new RP mostly for other players due to the fact that Antlion guard NPCs hit people but they do not pain RP. So this could be used in that aspect but also to give new combat RP to players.

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):
I already know what you are thinking. No NPC characters. Well if there are no NPC characters then how come people are allowed to have headcrabs? This authorization is strictly for RP for others. And if it gets denied because of people saying no NPC characters then I suppose that all headcrab characters should be PKed.

http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?topic=12426.0

What will these authorizations give your character in regards to perks or defects?
Perks
Advanced sparing techniques would help if he ever got into a hand to hand combat situation.
If need be although not very likely he would know how to rappelle out of a situation if the need ever arises.
He would know how to maintain his own weapons.
Obvious one, he would know how to fire at near to full accuracy.
He would be able to have more endurance and do more straining things than other refugees.
His mental skill could help in lots of different situations if the need ever arises.  

Defects
He may stand out as a bigger target to the OTA, or maybe other citizens.
He might get quite angry if people interrupt him while he is exercising due to that being a new part of his life.
He does not have a very accurate weapon, so this could defect in the fact that he would still have to deal with bullet spread.
People might keep asking him to clean and maintain their weapons. Which would get him quite angry.
He would still have to find equipment to rappelle with.
Others might just use him for his abilities.



What do you plan to do with these perks/defects?
I plan to use them to enhance roleplay, I would hardly ever need most of these perks anyway but it would be nice to have them under my belt so that if someone says "You are not a good fighter!". Even though I have had all the training IC and OOC anyway I would still like to just pull this application up and say, "I have auths for it".

Will anyone else need these auths? (If so, list OOC and IC name(s))
Nope

Which server does this apply for?
Outlands

Extra Notes (optional):
I hope that I am allowed to use the diary I am making for a application. I might add more skills although I probably will not. I have had these skills IC for a long time but I just want to get them on paper.

Accepted PK Appeals / Unit 755's PK appeal
« on: March 11, 2012, 04:06:22 PM »
Steam Name: The Joke
Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:26383571 
Character Name: CCA.UNIFORM.04.755 (Forgot the correct layout...Sorry)
Admin who issued PK: sir
Reason for Un-PK: Well, first of all I think it was slightly unfair anyway because I had two blackmarks and I came on for once and was told to go to the HMCR, I went there and stuff went down and then the unit in charge said I could leave, so my character RAN out of the room, and he RPed firing, he did not say that he hit me IC and did not hit me OOC, so I continued going and the admin PKed me as I went up the elevator. Personally I think the admin should have just got rid of one of the blackmarks instead of trying to make it a PK (Which I do not mind if it adds RP but this PK was just unfair, since he let me go).

IC Chat / Zak Grant's return.
« on: March 09, 2012, 02:03:45 PM »
Day one
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTpP0ftoIc8" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTpP0ftoIc8</a>
Zak woke up slowly, staring around him to only see green lights blind his vision. He tossed and turned before falling back into a deep sleep, only hear the words "Rest now...Grant". As Zak awoke again, he felt the cold wind stroke his cheek. He peered around, looking down at his naked, scared body. He got up; feeling a sharp pain in his chest as the wind almost blew him off his feet. But he carried on, placing his arm in front of his eyes as snow slowly dropped down from the sky. Zak shivered, feeling the cold as the wind felt like knifes slicing through him, the snow dropping on his head softly. He peered over to his left, looking down at the long drop below his very feet; he knew he had to get into cover soon before he froze to death.
Zak stumbled across the mountains, holding his arms closely as the wind and snow blew harshly against him, he knew he could not go on much longer. He went over a final hill, falling into the snow and sliding to the bottom, he felt a sharp crack as one of his ribs broke at the bottom of the hill, he yelled out slightly, incredibly weak. He took one last glance up, seeing a light approach him, before his vision went into a tunnel; he passed out, his face falling into the cold snow.
Zak awoke slowly, covering his eyes weakly as a bright light shone in his face. He tilted his head to the left slightly, looking down at the beds lined up against the wall. The dark concrete walls only made the room seem like a dungeon more than a medical bay. He seemed to be the only person in the room before a woman walked in, she had shoulder length blonde hair, her eyes blue as the sea, she wore a resistance vest with a medic symbol on her arm, but another strange symbol on her other arm. Zak had never seen it before and started to worry. She knelt next to him and gave a light smile "You had us worried, you could have died out there with all that snow falling down!” Zak could not find the strength to give a smile back, instead he faced the ceiling again, closing his eyes once more as she inspected his wounds, Zak groaned as she poked his rib, looking at her as if to say "Ouch, that hurt!". She smiled and gave in a whisper "Sorry" before returning to his rib to see what the damage was. She hummed quietly, but Zak did not care. He thought about all his friends he had abandoned in the Outlands, all the things he had accomplished, and he knew that nothing would be the same if he ever returned...

Authorization(s):
A obedient police dog character

Name: Rex
Age: 2 years old
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Rebellion

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
Rex was a happy puppy. He grew up on a farm with his mother and fellow brothers before all of the hell let loose upon the world. He was only a year old when a man arrived at the farm, looking for such a dog. "Can I help you sir?" The farmer grunted, "Thats right, I am looking for a dog who could fit a certain role". The farmer studied the man for a moment before beckoning him to follow him. "We gots us plenty of dogs here, some feisty ones, some obedient ones, what you looking for exactly sir?". The officer observed all the dogs running around the open yard playfully before replying "I am looking for one who could fit the role of a police dog, so perhaps a bit of both eh?". The farmer nodded slowly before turning back to the dogs and spying a few out, he climbed over the gate of the playground and walked in slowly before scooping one of the dogs up and bringing him over. "Whad about this one?". The policeman inspected the dog for a moment before replying "Too soft...We need one thats going to chase robbers, not chase kittens...". The famer nodded and grumbled to himself before scooping down and finding another dog, bringing him up to the policemans face. "Well, this one looks fine?". The policeman shook his head slowly, "That dog looks like its been eatin too many of dem portions of food sir...". The farmer grumbled and nodded his head quietly before bending back down and picking up another dog, the dog was wagging its tail lively, staring at the police man, then it started trying to wriggle out of the mans hands and drop back to the floor, but his grip was too tight. "This one will do sir, thank ye very much". as the police man paied the farmer, Rex lifted its paw as it laid over the shoulder of its new owner, staring back at the other dogs, as they carried on playing like he was never there...

Rex jumped playfully on his owners lap as he slept, the owner slowly awakened, staring back at the dog before giving a large yawn. "Oh god...What time is it?". He stared at the clock before realising he was late for work, "Oh god!". He quickly threw himself into uniform while Rex just stood on his bed, staring at the mad chaos, wagging his tail in excitement. "Comon Rex, we have to go!". His owner opened the door quickly, beckoning him through as Rex jumped off of the bed and ran towards the door at a pace. They went outside and stepped into the police car, turning the sirens on and going as fast as they wanted down the roads to get to their objective, before a strange call came in. "All units, please respond to Charlton avenue, we have a major situation and we need everyone we can get, I repeat, all units!". Rex and his owner exchanged looks for a moment before returning to the requested position. As they drove, tanks rolled past slowly, the armed forces walking down the road with a scared look upon their faces. Rex and his owner stepped out of the car, following the army to the position before, BOOM! One of the tanks went up in flames and flew into the air, crushing many soldiers underneath it. Rex looked around to see futuristic like lasers fly around everywhere. "Run!" He yelled down to him as they sprinted down the road, galloping over dead bodies as the lasers flew. His owner got hit in the leg and Rex stopped suddenly, barking loudly for him. "Go Rex, I am done for!" He yelled out to Rex. The brave dog grabbed his owner by the collar and dragged him into the nearest alleyway, he looked down at his owner as he died infront of him, barking loudly as if asking him to wake up. Rex spotted a open man hole and climbed in, knowing there was nothing else he could do. As Rex adventured through the tunnels he met a few people who took pity on him and fed him food, he also found rats to live off of or other decomposing flesh. Rex had to make it far, far away...

As Rex neared the end of the tunnel, it lead to a water system, he climbed out and fell into a river, he was being dragged underneath it and yelling out for help as the water dragged him along. But then someone pulled him out of the water, resting him on the side and staring at him for a moment, Rex stared back up for a moment before the human said "Welcome to the mountains..".

To be more physically fit, and mentally.
A better marksman.

Name: Zak Grant
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Resistance

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
As Zak returned to the Out lands his arm was not the only thing that had changed, he also had grown more mature and skilled, growing into a man. As days went by he kept on honing his skills and trying to get them to near perfection. He had already been in fights with OTA, some of which he had won and beaten the OTA even with its heavy armour with nothing but his fists and a knife. His skills got better by the day as the days went by, he soon found himself exercising every day, this concluded of jogging, hitting dummies, press ups, sit ups, and many other attempts to get the skills that he truly desired. When Zak was pronounced KIA he found himself in the mountains and enlisted the help of another large rebel group of which he never got the name of. They gave him more advanced training than Dave and Skyler before hand had already given him. Every day he was getting up at the crack of dawn to do some rifle training, the same old routine fell upon him, get up, get dressed, clean your rifle, fire it down range, go for a ten mile jog, come back and do some more exercise. The same thing kept happening over and over until he found himself in the field and commanding a full squad of five men, five men that depended on his orders and decisions. After he had received his one and only reward, his arm blown off. He thought back to the good times of the Out lands. It may not have been a easy life, but it was home. And so he travelled back on foot, trying to get back to the ones he loved, the ones he feared, and the all new surprises that were to come...

What will these authorizations give your character in regards to perks or defects?
Perks
Obviously to be able to cope with situations a lot better
To be able to be more physically active than most refugees.
To be able to hone his skills in marksmanship and hit targets at a much longer range.
His mind will be more focused and relaxed, the exercise also helping in that aspect as it will calm him from all the stress he has had recently.

Defects
He will be put to the test on these skills, and if something goes wrong he might lose the ability to have such concentration and could go into a depressive state.

What do you plan to do with these perks/defects?
To be able to use them when they are needed in a RP situation, this could be from a fight, to a mental challenge.

Will anyone else need these auths? (If so, list OOC and IC name(s))

Guides / Guns, and how to use them! (S2M, S2K)
« on: January 04, 2012, 01:33:08 PM »
Hello, I am The Joke!

These days I can see that on Out lands (mostly), lots of people are starting to get guns, which is good, if you know how to use them.

First of all I want to start off with S2K, S2K stands for "Shoot to kill" really this is something that should be decided between the two parties that are fighting (PM each other if you want to S2K or not) Because sometimes people do not say anything and just kill for the fun of it, you should not make that mistake. I think its a old outdated rule, I am not sure (personally I do not use it and think its a stupid rule). But apparently, if you are at incredibly close range and RP killing someone, then that's allowed? I would not recommend doing this though as if it has not been agreed a lot of people will get angry and you will be blamed :3

S2M! My favourite thing to do. Right, S2M stands for "Shoot to miss" its pretty obvious, but I will say anyway. Basically, if you want just a fun little fire fight (with a reason to do so IC of course), then you RP shooting, and fire your guns in game. For example!

Person one gets up from behind his cover and tries to hit his target
*What you would do here is fire at a wall near your target (not too near, you might actually hit them) and they might either, RP that you hit them, or say that they did not get hit and fire back safely, lets do a example of being hit*

Person 2 gets hit, clutching his arm and screaming out, he tries to make a dash for the door as he cries out in pain
*Now, if you also agreed not to kill ICly then person one might do something like this*

Person one carries on firing trying to hit his target, he hits the wall behind him as he runs out
*Person one could have done lots of options here, he could of said he was reloading and could not fire at his target, anything you can imagine! just make sure that the other player is comfortable with the action you do, and if he says he/she is not, then just go from where you were told not to do that action and do it again correctly!*

I hope this has helped, if you have any questions regarding this post, then just PM me, or find me in game!

Thanks for reading

Authorization(s):
A child character who is 14, has minor skills with a knife, and is pretty independent.

Name: Alex King
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Resistance

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
Chapter one: Prologue

As Alex stared at the the empty wasteland known as the Out lands from atop his mountain peak, he mourns his parents death. But he knows that this place might be his only chance of survival or death, he was prepared for either, as he stared down at his diary, writing his past experiences, so that he could keep the memories with him forever.

Chapter two: Upbringing

Alex lived comfortably. He did not live in luxury, nor in poverty. He watched people go by his window everyday, knowing they had a story to tell. As Alex jumped down from his bed, and raced down the stairs to get his breakfast. He spotted his father sitting in his favourite leather chair, reading his newspaper as always. As his farther took down his newspaper, he adjusted his glasses before saying "Hello Alex, finally waking up, I see?" Alex looked at him confused, before peering at the clock on the wall. It was mid-day. Alex's eyes widened, "Oh god, I am sorry, I have to go!" Alex quickly grabbed some bread and ran out of the room, running upstairs to put his clothes on. Before racing back down "Don't slam the-" Alex slammed the door shut before racing off "Door..." His mother finished as he left. Alex ran past everyone's homes, saying hello to each person as he went by. The town was small, old, and tired. But the community is what made it whole, everyone seemed to know each other.  As Alex raced into the woods, he found Suzy, "You are late..." She said sternly "I know...sorry, I had a...problem" Suzy smiled "Such a liar!" Alex smiled back before they both raced into the woods, "Right, take your pick." Suzy opened a suitcase, inside it lied so many knives that it filled the entire thing. "Uhh...this one." Alex brought out a large Bowie knife, "Huh...leave me with all the small ones" Suzy smiled as she brought out a kitchen knife "Lets go!" She yelled. racing in front of Alex, Alex smiled again, before racing after her.

Alex and Suzy peered out from behind trees opposite each other. Suzy put her finger to her lips and pointed out a small rabbit. Alex peered out quickly, before nodding silently. Slowly creeping up while the rabbit fed. Until "Get him!" Suzy yelled, as they both leapt for the rabbit. It ran off quickly deeper into the woods, while Suzy and Alex fell on top of each other. Gazing at each other, until Suzy said "Uhh...can you get off?" Alex nodded slowly, sliding off of her. "I'm going to go home..." Suzy said quietly, as Alex watched her leave. Once she had gone Alex ran home.

Chapter three: A new beginning

Alex woke up once more, staring out of his window as he usually did. Before walking down the steps to get breakfast again. He yawned, as usual his father peered down from his newspaper "Morning" he said "I am not late again am I?" His father looked up at the clock "Naa...plus its a Sunday , I did not think you saw Suzy on Sunday?" Alex looked at him blankly, "No...I guess not" He sat down ready for his breakfast, "Eat up" His mother said, as she laid down some bacons and eggs in front of him. He smiled up at her, before digging into his breakfast. "Morning!" Alex's sister appeared in the room. She was two years younger than Alex, but just as smart. "Morning" The room replied. All of a sudden, a flash appeared outside. "What in the world?" His mother pulled the blinds down, peering outside. "Oh my god..." She quickly dropped the plates and tried to get everyone into the attic, "What is it?" The room replied suddenly. Everyone rushed past her trying to peer outside, as Alex go to the bottom of the window he saw it. A large metal cylinder grew out of the ground. "Wow..." Alex murmured to himself as his father tried to pull him away from the window. "Alex. that's enough!" Alex kept peering out, and saw some strange creature appear out of the smoke. Screaming was heard from outside. People ran away, some with the animals attached to their head, they fell over suddenly, almost lifeless. "Into the attic!" Alex heard his father say. They almost ran inside. But one of the shells pierced through their home and into the kitchen. "Shit!" his father yelled as the two girls screamed. Quickly his father grabbed a pair of scissors. "Go, ill hold them off!" He yelled after them "Da-" One of the animals latched themselves to Alex's sisters head "What the fuck!" Alex yelled, as he stood their shocked. "Go Alex, run!" His father yelled, almost crying. Alex did all he could and ran for the window, opening it and squeezing  through, as he saw his family, be killed in front of his very eyes.

Alex ran outside, looking around, tears streaming down his face. He saw people running everywhere in different directions, trying to find some sort of safety. Alex ran to the only place he could, the woods. As he went farther and deeper into the woods, he heard only faint screams, he rested against a tree for a moment, crying his eyes out. He knew that his family were dead, his friends were dead. And that this, had to be a new beginning.

Alex went through the forest, stumbling every so often. Almost blinded by his tears. He kept running. Knowing he had to go somewhere else, somewhere safe. He ran onto a desecrated road, looking left and right. Until he saw a car full of people drive towards him. He stuck his hand up to get the cars attention. It stopped about five metres in front of him and a big, burly man stepped out. He walked towards Alex slowly, before kneeling down and putting his hand on Alex's shoulder and saying "You are safe now.." Alex stepped on the vehicle staring at everyone aboard. All of them were crying softly, knowing that everything that they had, was destroyed. Alex just stuck his head in his arms, before closing his eyes. And drifting to sleep on the bumpy road.

Alex woke up later and stared outside the vans window. He gasped as he saw a desecrated city stand in ruins before him. He just turned, not able to cry any more. And fell back asleep.

A loud voice bellowed "I am stopping here!" Alex woke up suddenly, looking around. Everyone mumbled quietly. The car came to a stop, before the driver got out and opened the back doors, "Everyone out please!" He bellowed. He looked straight at me with sad eyes, not saying a word as i stepped out. "I heard that there was a place just west of here!" Someone yelled out. Everyone looked at him and one woman replied "How do you know that?" He got something out of his backpack and wiggled it "Handheld radio, anyone with half a brain would stock up on this stuff before the apocalypse" Everyone looked at him, not sure what to say. "Comon!" He yelled out. Everyone followed him, including Alex, as they knew there was no where else to go.

Chapter three: The Out lands

As Alex stared at the the empty wasteland known as the Out lands from atop his mountain peak, he mourns his parents death. But he knows that this place might be his only chance of survival or death, he was prepared for either, as he stared down at his diary, writing his past experiences, so that he could keep the memories with him forever. After done with his diary, he hopped down the small mountain, trying to keep upright. Everyone else had already left for this new place, Alex had stayed back to write his diary, unsure of what to say or do any more. He just knew, that his parents would have wanted him to carry on.

Alex finely reached a large pipe system, which was big enough to walk through. He walked around aimlessly, only small hints gave away where people had gone before, and only red lights, to show the way. Finnally a large tunnel appeared to his right, he went into the dark abyss. And when he came out, saw the light, for a second his vision was blinded, but as it disappeared he saw it, The Out lands.  He knew this place was his home from now on. And he knew, all he had to try and do. Was live.

Name: Rory Garson
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Resistance

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
Chapter one: The beginning.
Ever since Rory was just a young child, parents and teachers alike could see that he was incredibly intelligent. Rory could motion actions by the age of three months, this was exceptional for his age, but by six months he was stringing words together and able to say simple words and a few phrases.
By the time Rory had gone to school, he was already speaking longer, more complicated sentences, while his peers were only able to say simple words. The teachers could already see that he was very intelligent and could do anything that the teachers put in front of him.
Time went by and Rory kept on growing up. When he did his test to get into a secondary school, He aced it and went to Milvands grammar, a more upper class private school for boys. He went through the school with ease, not a problem was found with his work, he went to all the top groups in science and maths, showing that he genius throughout the school, beating even the older children’s high scores on any test that he did. Rory was accomplishing in life with ease, no worries or fears. His life was almost perfect.

Chapter two: University
Once Rory had finished school with flying colours, he wanted to go a little further and study chemistry in a more in depth level. So he decided to leave his life of luxury and go to University. As he stood on his stone steps, staring up at his massive twelve bedroom house. He wondered what his future would hold for him, and what he would have to do to get to the very top. He was one of the lucky children, of whose parents could afford university and extra education for him.
As he passed through University, still showing his excellence to teachers and students alike, he never looked back on his achievements and only looked to strive forward and do all that was necessary, his life was dependant on getting to the top. But sometimes things happen that end dreams once and for all.
One day the dean called him to their office to talk to him about a job offer, Rory jumped at the idea of getting a good, sturdy job and went straight to the office, knocking on the door. “Come in!” His dean called as Rory entered the room slowly and quietly. “Take a seat, please. I don’t bite!” His dean gave a huge smile of which seemed to never end. Rory, still quite unsure of what he was meant to do, sat down in the chair slowly. “Now Rory, I have never seen any of my students exceed as much as you have, so I took the liberty of seeing if there were any jobs for you that would improve and hone your skills. But I know you must have some ideas of where you must be heading” The dean kept his smile all the way through his speech, while Rory just sat there, nodding slowly. “Now, obviously you must be looking for something in the science department, more specifically something in technology perhaps?” The dean stared at Rory from under his thick glasses with one brow raised, Rory once again just nodded, not saying a word. “Right, I was thinking something like this.” The dean raised his glasses to read the computer screen. “There is a new laboratory that has opened not far from here, the...Prinstine laboratory, it goes hand in hand with what you have studied, medicine, oils, anything that you want to study you could do there in depth. I think its right up your street!” He gave another big smile, staring at Rory waiting for his response. “Sure?” Replied Rory suddenly. “Fantastic! Now, they are having an open day soon, so go along, make sure everything is to your liking, and then just send your application in. I am sure with your education they will find it hard to say no!” Rory smirked, as he saw the next step in his life, come straight to his front doorstep.

Chapter three: Three years later in the Prinstine lab, nothing lasts forever...
Rory was happy, all his life dreams were coming to him, and he just had to do science, what more could you ask for? After spending years conducting experiments, doing lectures, learning new ways of doing things, he soon realised that he could not have asked for anything better in his life.
One day while Rory was conducting an experiment to find new medicines from different chemicals. He felt the floor shake and looked up, the light was swinging backwards and forwards. He just shrugged and went back to his work. Then bang! The window smashed behind him as a pulse of energy flew him into the table in front of him, knocking the wind out of him, he stumbled back up to look outside, and could see military vehicles everywhere, soldiers running down the street and opening fire on strange objects, as the enemy fired strange pulse rounds back at them. Rory ran down the stairs, trying to find a way out of the building as everything exploded behind him, his lab coat swinging by his ankles as he ran. “Shit!” he yelled, as a pipe burst straight in front of him, he carried on running. Knowing that he could not stay where he was, until he tripped on his lab coat and fell down the stairs, knocking his head on the wall in front of him, passing out on the spot.

Chapter four: Nothing lasts forever...
Rory woke up what seemed hours later; his head had a huge bump on it as he held it, walking on. He looked down to see his colleagues, dead. He gagged as he walked through their bodies, before realising that all the noises had stopped, there were only short bursts of gunfire that could be heard from very far in the distance, and Rory knew he had to run somewhere safe, somewhere far away. He ran from all he loved, and had to think only of survival as his number one task...from now on.

Chapter five: The Outlands
Everything was destroyed, cities were in ruins. But he soon found a place he had to call home. Rory never knew anywhere that was truly safe, he was not a survivor, he was a scientist, and he fought with his mind, not his fists. But he soon came to realise, that maybe that was the wrong way to approach his new life. Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months and months turned slowly into a year. Rory finally found somewhere that he would have to call home, he approached a man asking what this place was called, and the man only shrugged, then smirked and said “The Outlands...” Rory stood there mystified, watching the man as he walked off, playing the words over and over in his head, The Outlands? He soon saw that it was getting dark and needed shelter. So he ran into a nearby bunker where he huddled up for warmth, before realising that some strange technology was inside, he got up and looked around confused. He fiddled with a few switches before seeing a computer; he stepped towards it, switching it on. It was ancient hardware, but he could put up with it, he logged onto an account, clicked on notes and saw many diaries. He stood there reading the last one, at the bottom it was signed, Doctor Albert Dean. He then got up and said to himself “OTA...? Doctor Albert Dean...who the hell is that?” “Ahem...” He heard a noise behind him and slowly turned “I am Doctor Albert Dean, thank you very much” Rory stood there staring at the bald man, “I am sorry, I did not know that this bunker was occupied.” The Doctor stood there staring at him, then looked at his dirty lab coat and said, “A scientist?” Rory replied “I suppose so, yes” The Doctor nodded slowly “I see...” He then went over to one of his machines and flicked on a switch, it flickered to life, showing a small beam, “What is this then?” He pointed at the small beam, “Infra-red I am guessing?” The doctor smiled, “Not a complete idiot, that’s good” He then looked at Rory behind his glasses and smirked before saying, “You may be of some use to me...come” He flicked his hand to the doorway, and as Rory followed knowing that there was nothing else he could do, he realised. This was his new home, and this was his new companion.

<::|| Well it was a interesting first day...I was complimented on by other units on how i was a good RCT. Thats one thing to be proud of. I did my mandatory training in record time apparently to GRID 318. But i need to get the rest of my training sorted out aswell. I did the terrible idea of running after a high priority suspect into the S6 area, when we found her she had broken...well...bassically all the rules. Malcompliance, level 2 contraband, accomplice, Audio, So on so forth. I thought i did a very good job of catching her, but apparently not. Its being decided if i will get a blackmark or not so...i guess the higher ranks did not see it as i saw it. ||::>

Civil Authority Applications / David Grant's Civil Authority Application
« on: December 06, 2011, 05:23:16 PM »
David Grant's Civil Authority Application

OOC Name: The Joke

IC Character Name: David Grant

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 wishes to join the combine due to the fact that he believes that they are helping the world and that civilians are getting too dangerous to start a new world, a better world, and so he wants to deal with anti-civilains in the correct manner and not allow them to ruin the rule of the Combine. He also wants to help the combine after they saved him in the woods from the rebels, he believes that they saved his life that day and he also believes that he owes them his life as he has nothing else to give.

My character has observed the CP's actions and ways that they deal with things and thinks he has the same qualities that would allow him to join the Combine Civil Authority, He does not want to be a normal civilian anymore, and climb up in the ranks so that he can be as proud and majestic as the Combine, he also believes that his loyalist band is the best thing he ever accomplished and wants to climbs up the ranks even more to be a Combine Civil Authority and help them out more to repay them for what happened to him. He can see that the Combine Civil Authority are better fed and stand more strong than citizens to show who is the leader.

He is tired of having people push him and others around and wants to sort them out, Crime is going too far in his opinion and he knows that he cannot fight the rebels on his own, and after doing all the jobs he has done for the Civil authority, he believes that they should allow him in. David wants to join them because he cannot resist the thought of having a better life. Better rations, a bed and authority over the citizens. He walks around on the streets, working and cleaning the city to help the CCA, but still does not feel that that is enough.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Never forgets
Loyal
Obediant
Respectful
Proud
Energetic


3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
I expect the Combine Civil Authority to be very exciting, due to the fact that it will give new ways to Roleplay and more choice in what i do, But at the same time i know it will be tough both on my Character and myself, because the higher ranks will be tough on David if he does not do the slightest thing right. The special character will give me the authority to decide what to do in a situation, this could affect me in the long term and thats always exciting to find out what will happen next in my view. Also it will give me a break from doing the same thing over and over again, cleaning, standing in line to get food, and just walking around the streets with no purpose.

But i do expect it to be a challenge as i know it takes a lot of good Roleplay to be one but i think me and my character can handle it, but he will have to do things that he does not want to do, but during his time with the Combine Civil Authority, he will grow tougher and not hesitate to do tasks. Also for my character everything is going to change, he will have a new job and a new life. He will be entitled to do new things and go new places, instead of walking around aimlessly. Everything to do with the CCA will be fantastic and exciting for me and my character, Meetings, Respect, Devisions. The list is endless.

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.
David grew up in a city, he knew what it was like so he was ready for the Combine cities when he arrived, but he still felt as if something was missing everyday and could not put his finger on it. When David was only 8 his father died from cancer, he lived a lonely and sad life for a while, not accepting that it could not have been changed, that his dad could not have lived. He loved him dearly. But he accepted these facts a few years later and started playing with children his age again. He was happy.
David was now 23 and had a new job, he was excited to go to work everyday, he enjoyed it. Most called him mad, but that did not change his views. He was walking when he looked at the sky, The portal was opening. Tanks were already rolling down the streets, it seemed as though the whole army had awoken and was rolling towards this strange object, Dave stood there watching as everyone running past  and began to get worried. Then he heard the gunfire. The booming of shells as they hit the floor, the sound of new guns opening fire, He ran inside a appartment not knowing what to do, this was it. This was war.
It all happened so fast, and before he knew it a year later David had been to three cities and was on a train to another. David had never really thought of transfers to other citys as a sad or troubling thing. He thought of it more as a adventure, To meet new people, Or see new things, Unfortunatly City 18 was not as he expected. He left the terminal and looked around at all the rubbish on the floor, The dirty streets, And someone yelling in the distance, But he carried on. David never really thought about it but what was the Combines cause, he believed that they were here to better the world and rid it of any evil that roamed its grounds, he knew that people were breaking the law everyday, they were breaking into homes, robbing and killing, and being generally abusive to higher ranked people such as the Combine Civil authority and anyone else who stood above them. Once he was at the Plaza he did not really know what to do, Then a Combine Civil Authority approached him and said "Are you new here Citizen?", "Yes" He replied, He studied the CCA, His armour was tough his boots clean and his mask bright, He knew that that was the right path for him, To be as Magestic, as loyal and as proud as that CCA unit and others like him, "If you need somewhere to stay the Union Civil Housing if perfect, Buy a appartment there" He pointed to the UCH and David wandered towards it. Once inside he heard yelling, He looked round to see where it was coming from, He saw a Chinese man being called racial names and being beaten up, he tried to stop the two men beating him but was not strong enough and got hrown to the ground. That day David knew that he needed to help the world and stop criminals commiting crimes like this everyday and the only way of doing that, Was by joining the CCA.
