My character has seen the civil protection officers patrol the streets and guard his whole life. Ever since he was a little boy he dreamed of being one. He sometimes thought about how he would look in the white and gray outfit with the shinny boots. Oh how he lacks entertainment in district 1, he only wishes to be one of the brave men and women who protect the citizens.

My character doesn't only want this job to benefit his fellow citizen but to assist his family. As I presume many are poor such as my characters family. This job could bring in an extra few coins to assist in taking care of his family that has helped him always in his time of need.

He wishes to get respect in this world, and he believe this will help greatly, to help him be important and life and to have meaning. He wishes to make his family proud and bring them honor and glory for their sons accomplishments.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
My chacter is trustworth, loyal, helpfull, honest, cautious, intelegent, logical, serious, devoted, aggressive, and calm. These are my characters traits but not limited to.

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 Combine Civil authority to be serious and hardcore job. Meaning that every moment is life or death, that every action has repercussions and possible rewards. I think that I will get into a firefight or two while on the force.

I believe I could really assist the citizens of all the districts and also serve and protect my superiors and fellow officers. I will most likely give my life to protect someone no matter who they are. I will fulfill my duty as a CCA and do my best to protect the Universal Union and every one under it.

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.
My characters name is Mark Daffen, Mark grew up with his parents and at the age of 20 he finally decided to come to district 1. Upon arriving he was low on coins and hurried to find an occupation. Upon walking around for a few hours at last he found a piece of paper telling him how to make an application to join the CCA. He jumps to the opportunity and thinks back to when he was a child and how he would see the CCA patrolling the streets keeping him safe from the dangers of the world. He remembered how his father would tell him stories about the CCA, he always talked well of them but my mother was lets say had a different opinion. She always warned me “Stay away from those demons”, I of course didn’t listen and investigated in these weird masked men. I stalked them from a distance knowing that if I was caught I would be punished by the CCA but worse of all my mother would scream and yell until the head crabs came home. My father one day found me lurking in the shadows, feet away from a CCA, He picked me up and carried me right next to home and bought me a soda. He had a long talk about the harsh punishments that the CCA gave to people. But he never once during that talk did he say stop, I think he supported me and wanted me to continue but he wanted me to be more cautious. So I continued with my research on them and found that they very often make people pick up cans that they themselves had knocked over. I hoped to learn one day why they did this and if there was a reason for this behind it. One day I found out though if you refuse to pick up the can, As I walked to lunch with my father we saw a man talking to a CCA, he knocked over a can and said “Pick up that can”. But that man was feed up with it, he refused and was punished brutally. Right in front of my very eyes a man was beaten with a stun stick until he no longer had the strength to resist. As the man slowly stood up he picked up the can and placed it in the trash can. This made being a CCA a deal breaker for me until one day, as I was asleep a man broke the window of my home and came into are house to loot are belongings. Just as he had stolen a few things the sound of a door being broken shattered through the house. The man was quickly tackled to the ground and he was arrested. The CCA quickly returned are belonging and took the man to jail. This made me admire these brave men and women. When that CCA kicked in the door he had no clue what was on the other side a side from a criminal. He was unaware if he was armed or if there was more than one perp. He risked his life for my family, from that day on I knew I was safe and that I wanted to become a CCA.

5) Have you ever had a MPF character here at Catalyst Gaming?  If so, explain why it was removed.
I have never had a CCA character on Cataylst Gaming.

7. What�s your most memorable quality RP experience?
My most memorable RP moment would be on Clockwork Military RP, As I played as a soldier we were being attacked. Men and a few other men gathered in the barracks and await the commanding officer. As the door opens the CO stands there and begins to talk. Just as he finishes his sentence a bullet pierces through his chest and he dies, The CCO was no where to be found either and we needed a commander. All of us just being privates I decided I shows be the one, As I was the only one actually in a platoon Marauder 2-1 Rifleman Bravo Company. We where brave fighters who specialized in search and destroy missions. I'm not going to lie commanding 30 people at once is very hard, I had to assign people jobs as algida members ran in and shot at us. Eventually we exhausted their supply of ammo and they ran, we retook the base and ever thing went back to normal. And did I get promoted for this? Hell no because the server shut down 4 days later! Still pretty memorable and fun.

Im doing to deny this application for the following reasons:

-You've said you have 11 days playtime on HRP however I have reason to believe you don't have much HL2RP experience

-Related to above: In your backstory it says

thinks back to when he was a child and how he would see the CCA patrolling the streets keeping him safe from the dangers of the world. He remembered how his father would tell him stories about the CCA

-After the 7 hour war; the elderly, the young, disabled etc were killed off. As such your backstory doesnt fit because it is form a perspective that your character was a child during the Combine occupation which would infact mean he would be dead.

-From the points noted above I think you could do with more experience in the HL2 server before your ready for a character in the CCA.

Please re-apply no earlier than the 21/03/2014 (21st March 2014)

I agree with every thing you said, but I question why these points where not brought up the first time I did my applications.

Your right, this is my own fault for not taking my time and reading the first application properly. On that note i'm going to shorten the re-apply time to 17/03/2014 (Monday). By this time you will have hopefully been on the HL2RP server over the weekend, gaining a bit more knowledge in to how it works.

Thank you, I really appreciate that you will allow me to re-apply on Monday.
