Thomas Girroto's Civil Authority ApplicationOOC Name: Adam Hyde
IC Character Name: Thomas Girroto
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 has always kept his body healthy and clean even in C45. He always made sure that he ate UU branded things and made sure that he stayed healthy by exercises. He knew he could never run or jog, and he knew he couldn't talk to other people. So he walked along the roads in C45 leaving auspiciousness behind him between the Combine Civil Authority and himself. He ate on a daily basis within UU branded dairy products in the morning, then always had half of the UU branded cold noodles filled with vegetables inside, then for dinner he finished off with making sure he had his supplements and washed it with Breen's water quickly to eliminate the stench and the horrible tasting substances inside of the supplements. Rather than keeping in fit, he knew he can do something with his fitness.
My character has been afraid of the Combine Civil Authority the first day he had arrived in C17... he was relocated on his first day apparently to C45 due to population and his location. Being afraid of the Combine Civil Authority, he was only 30 years old and he was scared of the Combine Civil Authority. He always was in his apartment and was never outside talking to people and never liked the outside because of the Civil Protection. Rations were mandatory for him though. He walked slowly, straight up, a little bit faster than his usual walk, and ignored everyone around him not talking and looking at them. He would make everything so easy for the Combine Civil Authority. When he applies, he holds his card up and reads the card for the Combine Civil Authority. He knew Combine Civil Authority were never angry at him, they were never happy at him at all either... until he decided to read a paper... "Be loyal, be kind, and be faithful to the Combine Civil Authority. Become a loyalist, become a Civil Workers Union, become a Combine Civil Authority. Help your city!". Loyalists... that's the one he wanted to be.
Day after day, Thomas never walked like a drill sergeant anymore, he never even stayed in his apartment as much anymore. Any disturbance or danger in his area... he would practice requesting in for Civil Protection help. At first he felt like he really did not need to... then again, he was loyal. From here on. He smiles at the Combine Civil Authority even if they weren't looking at him. He used positive voices, he obeyed just about every order. He tried to make the Combine Civil Authority happy. 12 Breen's water later and way too many supplements eaten... His life continues. Within being a loyalist. He feels as if he can take the next step and protect the city. He has had more experience requesting. Now he will respond and obey, he is ready to be a Combine Civil Authority member!
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)Trustworhy, sensitive, positive, good listener, lawful.
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 CCA to know me very well and help me progress through my procedures as if it's training or a request for help. In training, i expect the Combine Civil Authority to point out my mistakes and be polite at certain points to me. I expect the Combine Civil Authority to give me lecture when i need it. In other words, i expect the CCA to tell me what i am doing that is wrong and let me know why and how i should stop it from happening. I expect the Combine Civil Authority to follow a rule they shall always follow. Obey orders by your fellow Combine Civil Authority members, meaning if i need help for a citizen who is a non-compliant, then i will expect some help if requested. I will and can do the same for others as well.
I expect to have a fun time in the Combine Civil Authority, and have it not to be a hassle. I wish not to argue over things and wish not to fight over things. I will be fair to the Combine Civil Authority and polite, i expect them to do that as well. Ranks above me will receive salutes from me at all time as intended. I will follow any order and anything aside from orders as given and received. I expect the Combine Civil Authority to keep track of just about almost every single unit including me. I cannot remain untrained and unnoticed for 2 months as happened in 261 about 4 months ago. I also expect the Combine Civil Authority to give me chances, as if i am doing something for the first time, i might need a chance to catch up on real time breaching, or maybe second chances on a mistake i have done.
My character feels as if he can help in the Combine Civil Authority and be good enough. He thinks he is ready for the challenge to protect the City of City 18 and work his way up to be a great Unit to the Universal Union and to the Combine Civil Authority.
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.It wasn't long ago until my character was born on May 15. 1986 in Georgia Atlanta. As a child, he had a step father who took care of him, and his mother who lived by herself. As a teenager, Thomas always got in to fights and car accidents. Which led him to a 500 dollar fine, and a trip to military school for 5 months. Over the 5 months, he learned way too many things about humans... They can be more negative than ever... It's just government issues that enrage most adults, so why not just obey and follow. He unfortunately knew he was just a little teenager, disobeying the laws... Knowing that he had broken so many rules, he just started to realize that maybe obeying rules is fine to do, because one day he can be an officer of the law. Working his way to college, criminal justice was not as good for him as he thought it was. It was boring and harder than ever. Even though he didn't want to be in the law enforcement, he knew maybe one day that the law enforcement would be stronger and better than ever, and maybe he would join.
He was about 28 years old until the portal storm started arriving. It was all over the papers, the news, and the television. Though Thomas didn't really know about Black Mesa itself, he knew the disaster was worse than ever as the portal storms came to earth. Thomas started running to the subway in order to be safe when the portal storms started to form, and the Xen were being summoned to the earth. By the time they got to the stations, the doors started closing. There they stayed for an hour or two, until something happened. Thomas was shocked at what was happening to the people in front of him. The combine rushed in lining each one on the walls, transporting them to the drop-ship as the Combine took care of the young and old. Thomas was getting scared as he looked at the combine even more, knowing where they must have came from. The portal storms still went on and on. Thomas's bag was destroyed as it was taken away, some people had bags filled with non-contribution items. Even before, the combine never knew anyone they were bringing to City 17 with. Arriving to City 17 retrieving his citizen suit and card, he was afraid of the combine looking around at other innocent citizens. The 7 hour war was then over with Dr. Breen, being the leader of Black Mesa, surrendering the earth to the Xen. His mom and dad had no contact, and he didn't even want contact at all... he wanted to stay away from the combine, from the citizens, and the trouble. Things pretty much stayed that way until Thomas saw very unsuspectingly about being loyal, and what possibly can happen if you proceed to be loyal. Thomas knew what to do instead of sitting in his apartment almost turning insane, he needed to be outside, he needed to help out the Combine Civil Authority instead of fear them. He only knew maybe someday he would only seem too suspicious to the Combine Civil Authority and possibly become an un-loyal citizen. He only lives on to his priority of what he can do to help out the Combine Civil Authority. He has decided to take the next step, Thomas Girroto will take his chance to become apart of the Combine Civil Authority.
