Elyse Keys's Civil Authority ApplicationOOC Name: Rec. Bokslag [22nd AB]
IC Character Name: Elyse Keys
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.Elyse Keys has wanted to join the Combine Civil Authority mostly because of combine propaganda. At the beginning Elyse didn't like the combine all to much, but as time passed the effects of combine propaganda and brainwashing slowly turned her into a loyalist. By the time she transferred to City 45 she believed that the Universal Union was responsible for saving the human race from self destruction, and that it was working to lead them to a brighter future. When she arrived she knew that all she wanted to do was help the UU, she was set on joining the Civil Workers Union and working to provide a brighter future.
A few days after her arrival however, another of the City Administrators' speeches began. Elyse of course listened intently, and at one point during the speech, the CA told the citizens of city 45 that one of the best ways to help the Union was to join the CCA of city 45. Elyse thought for some time on the matter, and eventually decided it would be best if she joined the CCA. She had seen how the units patrolled, tall, proud, and seemingly invincible.
Elyse began to work to better the city, cleaning benches, raking leaves, washing windows. She tried her best to deter anyone from committing any form of socio-stability infraction and made sure that those that did where caught. Elyse spent most all of her days asking units if there was work to be done, and then heading to complete any task assigned to her. She was set to get a loyalist armband and join the CCA. All in all, the reason Elyse wishes to join the CCA is to better the union in a greater way than simply picking up some leaves, or washing a bench or two.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)Elyse is Trustworthy, determined, calm, and Loyal, though she lacks in independence, stresses easily, and is not very decisive in a stressful situation.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.I am expecting the CCA to be a great learning experience, as well as a lot of fun. I'm hoping that a lot has changed since I was in it before, so that it will really feel like I'm new. I think that the CCA is going to be a great place to develop my character, and hopefully I'll have to do things my character may not agree with. I think that the CCA is going to be a smooth running organization, and that I will fit in just fine.
I am expecting the CCA to be a way for my character to learn useful skills, and use them to stop the enemies of the UU. I expect that the CCA will be very taxing on my characters mind and body, and most likely not live up to her expectations of service. I expect the CCA to be much more routine and dull than my character believes it is, though she will still feel overwhelmed by the amount of work and training that she has to do. I am expecting the CCA to be a fun and educational experience for both me, and my character.
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.Elyse was born on April 5th, 1992 to a loving mother and father. Her childhood was decent, sh had enough friends, and her family cared about her. When the combine invaded, Elyse was afraid. Her brother, having joined the military a few years before, was killed. Elyse swore that she would avenge him, and when she was in city 25 she plotted and schemed, waiting for the right moment to attack the combine. To her disappointment, the moment never came, she was unable to get her hands on any contraband nor weapons of any sort.
Elyse moved from City to city, and the propaganda slowly tore away at her. The Union propaganda, combined with her eventual will to forget turned her, slowly, into a loyal citizen of the Union. Elyse eventually forgot, she forgot abut her past life, where she had been, what had happened. She forgot about her friends, family, and even all the events leading to the combine invasion. Finally, her mind gave in and she began working for he Union, helping in any way she could.
By the time she arrived in city 45 she was completely brainwashed, helping the Union as much as she could. By this time she thought, truly, that the union was what had saved humanity from destruction and that it was leading humanity to a greater future. She was certain what she must do, and began to work on getting a loyalist armband so that she could join the CWU. After some time, another speech from the CA came on, and she of course listened intently. The speech spoke of the things she knew, of how the Union had saved humanity from destruction and was leading it to the future. At some point during the speech, however, the CA said that one of the best ways to assist the Union was to join the CCA.
Elyse thought about this for some time, she had seen the units of course. They walked with a purpose, they looked down on the citizens, but with good reason. They looked down on the citizens because they ARE better than the citizens. They helped the Union in so many ways, there was so much work to be done to quell the rebellious madmen that would have you think that the Universal Union where evil, and that they sought to destroy humanity.
She then knew what had to be done, she knew that she would have to sign up for the CCA and work as hard as she could to stop these people. She then set to work writing her application.
