Bill Linkro's Civil Authority ApplicationOOC Name: grahamc22
IC Character Name: Bill Linkro
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 wants to be in the Combine Civil Authority because, he always hated violence and people breaking the law's and he wished and wishes to put a stop to it.
While growing up, he had lived in a poor town that always had some sort of crime going on; robbery, murder and sometimes his family was held hostage for ransom.
When his family was held hostage, it really scared him and pissed him off at the same time, so he wanted to put a stop as much as he could to crime and become a cop when he grew up.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)Loyal, responsible, respectful, honest, honorable, trustworthy and lawful.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.As a recruit, Bill's pretty much just a citizen in a suit. Weak, a bit scared, and overall not much different than a citizen, except for of course, the mask and armor. He's never hit someone on purpose, and if he encounters a citizen doing something wrong while he was on his own, he'd probably let the citizen off with a warning. He's not going to become super badass cold-blooded killer ninja spec ops nazi commando super-soldier from the moon.
But more so, since Bill is new, he would expect the higher ranking officers to bully him and get him used to what is coming and train him for the future.
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.Bill Linkro was born into a low class family in Sweden, in 1994. His father was an engineer, and Bill showed a lot of interest in it. He would watch his father work, and even help him with some of the more menial tasks. As he aged, he showed promise in becoming an engineer himself. He got top marks in almost all of his classes, and in his high school years, he even helped his father design things.
And then it happened. Rumors began to spread quickly of people being attacked in rural towns, and the rate of UFO sightings went up immensely. Soon enough, the media announced that they had made first contact with real aliens. And they were hostile. After a month of increasingly frequent attacks from these Xenian life forms, martial law was declared. All citizens were herded into the inner city, living in crowded apartments and protected by the National Guard. The military wouldn't tell the media anything, and soon, rumors of government cover-ups and Area 51 accidents spread like wildfire, and soon there were riots all over the city.
Just fuel for the fire, as giant portals ripped through the sky, sending shockwaves that toppled buildings and started raging fires. 40 foot tall, three-legged beasts with laser cannons, huge crabs firing explosives, and strange pulses of energy that made your head pound erupted from these portals. Eventually, the Earth was defeated. At New York City, in the United Nations headquarters, a man named Wallace Breen stepped up on behalf of mankind. He surrendered, and in doing so, gave the reins of the human race to the "Universal Union", as they called themselves.
Bill, only 17, was seperated from his parents and sent to an identification camp, where he stood in line, in a maze of chain link fences and guard towers. Looking through the fences, he saw to the front of the line, where a boy that looked about 16 or so stood. He told the NATO soldiers stationed there his name and age, and one of them grabbed him by the shoulder. They dragged him to another tent by the side, and a shrill scream pierced the quiet camp. The loud, but undecipherable sound of whispering could be heard, and soon, the message reached Bill... "They're killing the children." After what felt like hours, it was finally his turn. He stepped up to the soldiers, nervously looking around, and stated, "Bill Linkro, 18." The NATO soldier looked at him for a few seconds, and nodded. He pushed him through a tent to the train station. After looking around, he quickly boarded a train labeled "CITY 45" and departed off...
By this time, the CCA and OTA forces had been set up. Not having enough money to get into an apartment, he went into a factory once again and was assigned to a tiny, crowded apartment with 3 other citizens. Having a job that was miles below minimum wage, even with 12 hour shifts, it took him years of labor to finally get enough money to get an apartment of his own. He managed to get a better job in the factory, with slightly higher wages but more importantly, 8 hour shifts. Finally being able to get a decent night's sleep, he began to think about his future. After a week of thinking, he made up his mind. He would join the CCA. With a small glimmer of hope in his heart, he set off towards the Nexus
