[ACCEPTED] Howard Biggs's Civil Authority Application
« on: September 21, 2012, 11:46:28 AM »
Howard Biggs's Civil Authority Application

OOC Name: Dublinjd

IC Character Name: Howard Biggs

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 started to love the Combine ever since he was sent to City 45, he always wanted to help the Combine provide a safe-haven for the citizens and himself, when Howard started becoming a robot for the combine he realized that he needed to help out more , he obeyed all the commands given from the CCA and other combine authority when he was a new citizen, when he just got off the train he realized that what was an beautiful city in the EU turned out to be a Orwellian nightmare.

Since Howard is one of the men who want to become CCA and help the CCA keep a peaceful and safe-haven which Howard was always earning for and for the problem with this is that he never got around to doing the things he needed for this safe-haven, Howard then realized that the CCA were not just helping the Combine, but the citizens too, Even if Howard's look at life was good he would still need to help out, Howard would be the first person in line to sign an application to join the CCA even though his purpose was a mighty good one, and so Howard would start supporting and obeying the Combine in more ways then, he would have done.

Howard is not going to join the CCA out of spite or greed, his look at the Combine could really start to change his mind and also change his personality, he is joining the CCA to help the Combine and to keep a safe-haven for C45 and not to just goof around, he is always in terms a man who has the ability to help people in need if they are in trouble, Howard was never really good with any task that did not involve work because Howard always worked for the Combine in small and big ways.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
 Loyal: Howard always obeyed commands to a loyalist or a CCA in which he was doing a favor for the good of C45, he was loyal since he was a new and confused citizen.

Lawful: Howard always tried to keep the peace and also try to become a peacekeeper in which he took an interest in, Since school he always tried to remain well and try to keep his' nose clean.

Smart: Howard had studied hard in his young years which he started to love the most, Howard's look at his ability is the most certainly interesting of them all, Howard would try to keep this trait in life because he might need to use it for later.


3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
 I expect my character to be a flunky, I want him to follow the rules and never talk until spoken to, he would need to be looked down upon by high ranked officers, he would then be judged for his talents and see if he would gain the necessitates that they want for Howard, and it would be easy for him to gain the ability that the Combine want for him even if he needs to gain it by killing, So if he can try to become a CCA then he needs to just be the same as every other CP.

Howard would need to be at the best of his limits and then he would need to start continuing his job as a CCA, Howard's ability to become a hard-working CCA is to become a loyal and trustworthy man of the rank and ability to become a CCA, Howard knew that the ability of his well-being was starting to increase overtime, and I expect him to become a loyalist and a well worker, even though he already is one, Howard also has a bad attitude to people who annoy him or break the law, Howard would also need to be productive and at least need to catch one criminal.

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.
-Childhood: Howard was born in Yugoslavia in 1985, His mother was a doctor and his father was a banker, When he was 5 his mother said to his father: "We should send Howard here to a Private school, He has been a smart boy so he should get a smart education." Howard was sent to a Russian school for smart kids, He got trough the school pretty easy and was then sent to a Prep school, Were he has a interest in science.


-Adulthood: Howard was starting his study to earn a Bachelors  physics, He gained the degree and started working on astrophysics and cryptology, He would go to the observatory every night and look at space to see if he was going to find aliens or a new star, Howard found this was getting him nowhere so he gave the job one last chance before he would quit.


-Seven Hour war: Howard was looking into space with his scope, He saw nothing but starts and the sun, Howard was angry and starting screaming at space, But suddenly he looked out the window and saw Portals transporting Xen creatures into the area, Howard was amazed he never knew that this was going to happen, So he decided to stay inside and wait, Before he knew it the portals raged and started ripping holes in the observatory, Howard screamed and ran to the exit, A bang was heard and Howard fell to the ground.

He woke up and saw Xen beings running to the City, Howard was shocked and he needed to get out of the country, Howard got into his car and drove, He thought about what would happen if he was caught by the Xen aliens, Looking at the portal storms from all directions which he knew was a bad thing that would send Xen beings to earth, He put his foot on the accelerator and drove as fast as he could.

A month later: Howard was starting to go hungry and powerless, He stopped the car and looked up at the Portal storms, They were not deploying Xen aliens anymore which he was used to, He saw a Combine alien drop out of the Portal storm, Howard got back in and put his foot to the accelerator as hard as he could, Howard then crashed into a cornfield and fell in the dirt and slime which was around him, The Combine officer then put a pistol to Howard's mouth and dragged him into a bus.

-Bus ride: The bus was a Prison bus, It had bars around it like a tank, Howard was not angry just confused, He asked a combine guard: "Could i get something to eat?" The combine guard gave Howard a citizen supplement and some breen water, Howard thanked the man and grabbed a book from the bottom of the chair, He read the title: 1984 by George Orwell, It was a dull gray book with a man pointing to Howard saying: "Big Brother is watching you." Howard was not delighted with the book but he read it.

After reading it he thought that this would be one of his futures, He started remembering quotes from the book, "The thought police would get him just the same. He had committed--would have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper--the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it. Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you." Howard knew that hating the Combine would result in death, "People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word." Howard knew that the Combine would take people off the streets and make sure they would be "Non persons."  "In our world, there can only be triumph and self-abasement. Everything else, we will destroy." Howard knew that the word feelings would be restricted.

Howard knew that this was one of the most gruesome things possible, But what would the positives be?  "This is our land. A land of peace and of plenty. A land of harmony and hope. This is our land. Oceania. These are our people. The workers, the strivers, the builders. These are our people. The builders of our world, struggling, fighting, bleeding, dying. On the streets of our cities and on the far-flung battlefields. Fighting against the mutilation of our hopes and dreams. Who are they?



-Relocation
Howard took the book and was sent to a train, It was a normal train with a New york subway look, Howard sat down and looked around, He asked a guard the time of when he would reach the location, "3 hours." Howard looked at the clock it was broken, Howard thought that Orwell was right, It has begun, Howard looked at the camera, He then looked at a propaganda poster, It said: Obey the administrator, Howard could not believe it, The Orwellian themed nightmare had emerged, He thought about the things Winston done, He was sent to Room 101 for torture so Howard should do the opposite of what Winston done, Howard asked the Combine officer if he could read the book, The Combine officer allowed him.

2 hours and 30 minutes later: Howard was in the shower with his luffa sponge, He scrubbed himself with it, The CCA officer gave him a Boiler suit With a vest, A pair of socks, A pair of boots and a Citizen ID.

-Reaching City 45: Howard walked outside the station and looked at the Nexus, Howard knew what it was, He looked at the broadcast: "Hello citizens of City 45, This is your Civil Administrator, We have news that rations are coming in a hour." Howard did not need it but he got some, Howard got 1000 Credits from a total of all his rations and bought 2 permits.

-Business: Howard sat down and looked at the UU branded books, They were interesting and fun to read, Howard did not have a reason to read them but he read them anyway, Howard remembered some 1984 quotes about Propaganda: "It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself – anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime, it was called."

Howard was happy, He was loyal and friendly, Even if the world was strict he would follow orders when given, even though his life was just a rope on propaganda.

-Coming home- Howard came to his apartment house and looked at the TV screen, It was talking about propaganda and City Values, Howard walked to the kitchen and took a ration, Howard looked at the TV and knew that this was getting interesting, The door broke down and 2 CCA officers came into his apartment, "Citizen #10359, You are under arrest for carrying a weapon, Prepare for Civil Judgement and Amputation, Howard then laughed and said: "I am Citizen #10358 you are looking for the guy next door." The CCA then said: "Ok, Thanks for the tip citizen." Howard heard screams coming from his neighbors room, Howard looked at the TV and it showed the CA making a speech.


-Bio-Hazard: "Citizens a bio hazard has reached the city, Please remain indoors." Howard looked and he saw Zombies running a muck, Howard then screamed and watched the CCA shoot and kill the zombies, One zombie ran to the Apartment and saw Howard, Howard screamed again and ran upstairs, The zombie chased after him, But Howard was able to escape outside and run to the Plaza.

-Loyalty: Howard found out that his Loyalty was the highest thing he could gain, Howard helped the Combine by: Polishing their shoes, Washing their Memorial, Cleaning the Nexus barricade and other tasks, Howard then started to become a full time citizen, Howard decided that if he was going to live then he would need to follow the opposite of what Winston done, He needed to think back to 1984: : "A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledgehammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic."
 
"War is peace, Freedom is slaver, Ignorance is strength."

"Who controls the past controls the future, Who controls the future controls the past."

Howard knew that his loyalty had no bounds, Howard looked around and thought "If you got nothing hide then you have nothing to worry about."
