OOC Section
OOC Name:Michael Norris
IC Character Name:Kevin Jacobs
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 civil authority because of a very strong hate for anarchy and revolt. He wants to join to make sure that City 18 can remain as peaceful as possible for as long as possible. He believes that by joining the CCA, he can help achieve this end through hard work.
What leads my character to have these feelings was a disaster that happened in his previous city, City 4. Before he had just been a loyalist trying to do his small part for the city and live a normal life. But then disaster struck when a resistance group formed and ruined the city he called home. This gave him a huge distaste for all resistance attempts and anything that could weaken the CCA's hold on the cities and bring about anarchy.
Because of this, my character plans to join the CCA and try to help make sure that City 18 remains untouched from the ravages of the resistance groups. He has made this his life's goal and this application is the first step to achieving it.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy) My character is lawful, intelligent, dedicated, and organized. Some of his worse traits are he tends to have trouble viewing issues through others shoes and is quick to judge others on small mistakes.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character? So for me, in the beginning I expect to be in training and be listening to my superiors and letting them handle anything bigger than a contraband check or loitering. I also expect to be mainly watching the streets of the city while I’m new and not doing anything really out of the ordinary except for assisting my superiors in JWs or rations. I also expect an increased level of respect from the citizens of the city, and to and extent, my superiors, although I don't expect the royal treatment from them still. I plan on starting as more of a citizen in a suit, still sensitive to the citizens around me and their troubles, and only slowly becoming cold enough to hand out beatings, and after a longer time, amputations. I expect to be held to a higher expectation than I was as a citizen as well, with far more severe consequences for messing up either ooc or ic. Finally, I expect to be able to further enhance role-play for both myself and others as such an iconic Half Life 2 figure.
IC he expects it to be an incredible responsibility. He believes he is up to the task but knows months if not years of hard training are going to be required of him before he is ready for any major tasks. He knows he will have to respect his superiors and accept orders from them unquestioningly or risk Permanent Off World Assignment or even amputation. He also knows he is going to have to get used to being in charge of the citizen class he once was a part of. Also, he expects some privaleges held for the CCA members above the citizens, but realize these come with the cost of being hated, feared, and excluded from the people he used to know well. He is nervous about the apparent lost of feelings in the CCA members he has seen. He recognizes all these challenges and accepts them for the sake of his goal to maintain order.
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. Kevin was born on May 23, 1979. He had a typical childhood growing up on the east side of America, with the only real unique thing being that he was diagnosed with I gifted IQ early in childhood, and so was given some special treatment. He went to college for programming and was working for a video game company when the 7 hour war. After the 7 hour was over, he and his family were placed in city 4. He didn’t have a wife, but he remained as close as possible with his two brothers and parents while in City 4. He became a loyalist so he could try and make life for him and his family as good as possible. He achieved a workers permit and opened up a shop that sold CCA approved books and water. Life went on for him and his family as normal as possible until 2016.
In the year 2016, a large group of citizens formed a group called the brotherhood. This group was dedicated to trying to relieve the city by prying the CCA’s hold off. At first the citizens not members of the group were undisturbed as nothing truly shaking was being done by the Brotherhood because they didn’t have the supplies. But then one day, a group of cps were ambushed and killed from the shadows, and all of their equipment was taken. Suddenly, the CCA took drastic action. In order to encourage compliance with the swift elimination of the Brotherhood, living conditions were drastically lowered for all citizens until it was destroyed. All citizen run shops were closed, the already few rations were further limited, and beatings and amputations were handed out for the slightest crimes. Kevin was doing his best to hold his family together. To make matters worse, one of his brothers joined the Brotherhood and Kevin had to try to keep his family going. Inevitably, the Brotherhood was destroyed, and all of the members were captured and killed. Unfortunately, they learned that Kevin’s brother had left and not been reported by the family. Kevin and his family were taken into custody. As punishment for their non-compliance, they were all beaten within an inch of their lives. Only Kevin and his brother Frank were healthy enough to survive the beatings, the stress on his parents’ bodies was too much, and they both died hours after.
Kevin and Frank decided to transfer to another city. After being approved they started making arrangements to move to their new home, City 18. Then the final disaster struck. While going through the final procedure to leaving, a contraband book was found in Frank’s possession. It was a book that had belonged to their parents and when the officer tried to remove it from his possession, Frank lost it and lunged at the officer. Frank was killed on the spot. The distraught Kevin finally made it to City 18. He spent weeks in his own bubble, interacting only minimally with other people, and not pursuing any activity at all. Finally he decided that in remembrance of his family, he would make sure nothing like City 4 would ever happen again. He became a loyalist, doing his best to help the CCA find and stop any anti-civil actions. Finally, he decides to apply to join the CCA. His life’s goal now is to preserve peace in his new home at all costs. He will give anything to achieve this goal.
OOC Details1. How long have you played on role-playing servers in general?Around 5-6 months
2. How long have you played on serious servers?A little over 4 months
3. How long have you played on Catalyst Gaming? I’d say almost 3 months
4. What Time zone are you in?EST
5. In what country do you live?America
6. How old are you?16 (and a half if it matters)
7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience? I would say my most memorable RP experience happened on serious fallout 3 role-play server. The reason it was the most memorable was I was fresh off of Dark RP servers and non-serious RP servers, and it was my first good rp experience off of them. What happened was a woman assaulted a man in a tavern, and a man in power armor grabbed her and attempted to shove her into the cellar and keep her there. Suddenly, three men confronted him and told him he wasn’t the law and to let her go. A fight commenced and the patrons used tools from around the tavern to fight the man with power armor. Eventually after fighting for a while, the man in power armor yielded, deciding it wasn’t worth the fight, and after some cross words to the men, left. The entire seen from start to finish was beautifully executed using chat and /me’s. This was when I realized the kind of fun experience you can have if you use the play to lose system instead of just rolling or minge fighting out the story. That is why this is my most memorable experience so far.
8. Do you consider yourself a good listener?Definitely
