Derrick Valswick's Civil Authority Application
OOC Name: Statua
IC Character Name: Derrick Valswick
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.
Derrick Valswick has always been loyal to the union. It might have been caused by the chemicals in the food and water that brainwashed him. It might also have been because Derrick tends to follow the superior side of things. Nevertheless, Derrick is a true loyalist and would never question a member of the union. At the start, he would in the back of his mind question them. However as time progressed and they became a part of his daily life, Derrick had come to see the universal union as the almighty.
Derrick never thought of those performing rebellious acts as "good" or "revolutionary" citizens. He in fact, thought of them as a nuisance and one of the major problems in the current society of the city. In fact, Derrick not only disliked these so called "rebels", he hated them with a passion. One day, he would be minding his own business, cleaning a sign or picking up garbage, when suddenly someone throws a rock through a window with a sign attached saying "rebel". Now everyone must be searched and verified as well as punished for this single persons action. Derrick feels he is not helping enough when these things happen. This is one of the leading causes to his wish to join the Civil Authority.
Derrick feels that all humans have a purpose in the world. He also feels that some people are not fulfilling their purpose or are going against it. Some are set to help out in the civil workers union. Others are to do hard work such as cleaning up mass amounts of garbage or debris. Derrick thinks his sole purpose is to sacrifice his life for the integrity of the cities of the universal union. Derrick feels the need to fulfil this purpose and finally decided to fill out a civil authority application.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
Authority to be like for you and your character.
Well I already know what the CCA is like for a medical character and a combat character so I know what to expect. However, a new character brings new possibilities. I expect Derrick to follow the path of advanced sociostability and do what he can to keep citizens in line. I expect him to slowly become more and more of a dick and an asshole to citizens as well as possibly to the younger ranks if he gets to that point but that all depends on his story.
I expect the CCA to be the same it was with a few minor changes. I expect the work to be hard and time consuming but I can handle. I also expect to learn a few more things about the CCA that I didn't know. I expect to keep my CCA characters IC knowledge completely separate from my resistance characters IC knowledge.
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.
Derrick was born in Zagreb, Croatia on February 16th 1977. He went to elementary school in Croatia for five years where he learned his basic life and writing skills in the native language. His father got a job with Mann Co mining in 1987 in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA, working as one of the higher up supervisors. He moved there along with Derrick and his mother. Derrick learned the english language after several years of tormenting, bullying, and hard, hard work. He took classes in automotive technologies and applied mathematics. He graduated in 1995 from his class of sixty three students with a dual diploma. Derrick went on to be an auto mechanic, working on his apprenticeship which ended four years later. Derrick worked at Kregs Autobody for several years, fixing vehicles and sweeping floors. He enjoyed working on vehicles. The physical work kept him motivated and alert through his ten hour shifts. He was also making a pretty penny. He eventually moved to Denver and opened his own shop in the down town area. He colourfully named the shop, Derrik's Fixxit House. He hired two other mechanics to help him run the shop which eventually became very popular for its excellent service. Even during the portal storms, Derrick kept his shop open to the public, repairing and maintaining vehicles. He saw some damage caused by Xen creatures such as deep gouges in the metal and even some Xen blood.
Then the war came in 2015. During the war, Derrick suffered severe physical trauma to his head due to some airborne rubble. He recovered but lacked the kind mental state he once had and lacked interest in all things mechanical like he did for so many years. Derrick became very critical to others and is a pessimist about everything. This state of mind resulted in lack of friends. The lack of friends resulted in him wanting to follow the superior race. Derrick became an all time loyalist, hating people who disobeyed socio stability rules even the slightest. If someone wanted to talk to him, he would ask them to leave or just leave himself. Derrick reported everything he saw he thought to be a problem. He follows the inaction rule very closely and follows the union, maybe even worships it.
