OOC Name: Otto
IC Character Name: Jack Wright
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.
Jack hadn't planned on joining the Combine, in fact he loathed them. He witnessed the decimation of his planet, his country, his friends, his family. They took everything from him. If anything, he felt a strong sense of duty to fight the oppressors.
After caught supplying illegal foods to citizens in the city, Civil Protection busted down his door. He spent the next month in isolation. After being let out, he was changed. He was no longer rebellious or vibrant. His eyes were dead, and he spoke few words.
Fast forward some time. The poisoned water has corrupted his mind. He begins to forget his past life, and why he hates the Combine. The Universal Union is all I need. I love it. They give me food, water, shelter. But these foul people want to take these things away from me. I must defend the Universal Union.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Though beaten and malnourished over the many years of Combine occupation, Jack has managed to retain his keen and alert personality. Taught to hunt as a boy, his self-awareness and knowledge of the world around him have got him through rough times. However, the brainwashing has taken effect over the years, and will blindly follow the Union to his death.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
You start as a recruit, basically just a citizen in a uniform. You are still learning the ropes of the CCA, and usually treated like crap by your superiors. Over time however, I will begin to lose some emotions for the citizens and become harsher and more sadistic. You are to follow your superiors' orders without question.
Most of the time my character will probably be patrolling and constantly using my radio. Sometimes I'll keep guard at a checkpoint or ration distribution. Beating a citizen will become a fact of life. Occasionally I might even engage in a firefight.
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.
Jack was born on a farm outside what is now City 45 with two loving parents. He was a hard worker and did well in school. Often he went out hunting with his father. He grew accustomed to his Remington rifle, and became a good shot. He had a good life; two loving parents and a bright future. Then, everything changed.
Jack flicked on the TV. News clips showed "Portal Storms" raging and region-wide evacuations. Then the TV shut off and the room went dark. There was a loud bang, glass shattered nearby, followed by a shout. Jack grabbed his rifle, and walked outside. His father was on the ground, shaking and moaning. Jack rushed over to his father, then stopped in his tracks. There was something on his face. It was bulging, and had claws wrapped tightly around his face. His father gradually stopped shaking, then got up.
"Dad?"
He growled, and started shambling towards him. A shot rang out.
Jack dropped his rifle, crying. His mother stepped outside, embracing him.
The next day, flatbeds packed with soldiers passed by their house. Jack and his mother called out, and one of them stopped. They hopped aboard, and his mother asked one of the soldiers of where they were going. He mentioned something about heading to a city, and when she asked about the state of the country, the soldier simply shuddered and said, "It's gone."
Soon enough they arrived. Tall walls and barbed wire fences surrounded the city. Refugees were processed through the checkpoints. Belongings were taken away and piled up. A loudspeaker played music and urged people to remain calm. As Jack and his mother were moving through the mass, he lost grip of her hand. He called out, and panicked. He couldn't find her.
"Citizen reminder, inaction is conspiracy. Report all counter-behavior."
Years later, the Combine took over. Huge screens were erected in plazas and propaganda posters were plastered along the walls. Beatings became a fact of life. Rations were sparse and menial. Jack had enough. Through a few friends, he gained access to contraband food. He soon supplied other citizens with the food himself, but he slipped up. Civil Protection bashed down his door and dragged him away.
Jack was thrown in a cell, and never saw the light again for a month. When he came out, he was changed. He no longer was his same vibrant, rebellious self. The vitamins and poisoned water took its toll on him. He forgets his past and why he hates the oppressors. But he no longer saw them as oppressors, he saw them as liberators. He believes in everything they stand for and will blindly follow them to the death.
But one image has been burned into a his mind; his hand grasping his mother's hand.

7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience?
This would probably be on an old server called Mobius.
I was an 01 at the time, and citizens were being unruley in the plaza. Myself and all the other units lined them up against the wall, I believe about 20 of them. One or two were shot in the back of the head as an example, and slumped down against the wall. Then one of the citizens charged at us and I cut him down with my SMG, and soon enough everyone began firing. After a few moments, the firing stopped and all that was left was blood and bodies. The bodies were piled up shortly after and burned. I don't think I've ever been so engrossed in roleplay before.
8. Do you consider yourself a good listener?
Yes.
