David Sterling's Metropolice Force ApplicationOOC Name: Officialjake
IC Character Name: James Sterling
1) Please write a minimum of 3 paragraphs OOC'ly detailing why your character wishes to join the Metropolice Force and what lead your character to do so.James grew up in Britain where there was for the most part law and order. He respected the necessity of a government and laws to control the people from becoming a danger to themselves and others. Part of this stemmed from learning about the lawless Irish Republican Army, a resistance group that fought against the British Army in Northern Ireland. James found that he wanted to stop those who wish to make the world unsafe and lawless so he studied Criminal Justice in College.
Then the Seven Hour War started. The world was quickly taken over by the Combine and people were being shipped off to different cities. James was sent to City 45 where he began living a normal life under the new rule of the Universal Union. Over time he began hearing about resistance groups sprouting up. The resistance groups reminded him of the IRA and he feared that they would destroy the new order the Union set up. Before the world was plagued by war and power struggles but now it is united under one nation and these rebels wanted to undo it all.
James began reporting these rebel groups and the less the presence the rebels had the safer he felt. After a while though he began to get an itching feeling that he could do more than just report anti-citizens. What if he could actively fight against them and be a part of the force that brought order to the world? So he decided to join the Metropolice force.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)My character has an unwavering loyalty to the law, an objective view of the world (logically minded), is disciplined, and is trustworthy.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Metropolice Force to be like for you and your character.For myself I am expecting the Metropolice force to be a new experience RP wise. I have never had an MPF character before and from what I have heard from others I think that it will be fun especially with the different divisions of the MPF. I think I would like NOVA or GRID the best because I enjoy medical RP and the mechanical passive RP in GRID is appealing as well. I would be happy anywhere in the MPF though.
James Sterling doesn't exactly know what to expect. He is assuming that there will be a rigorous training process that will test him both mentally and physically but doesn't know much about the MPF outside these assumptions. He has only seen them roving around the city or guarding the Nexus. He sees this application as a chance to give back to society and risk his life to preserve safety and peace by keeping resistance activity down.
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.Before the Seven Hour War:
James Sterling was born in London, England to a middle class family. He grew up in a conservative family and developed a respect for the government and law. In college he began to study Criminal Justice where he learned about the various aspects of law and the psychology of a criminal. He also learned about the IRA a resistance group in Ireland that fought against the British in Northern Ireland. He saw them as lawless as they bombed cities like Belfast and put everyone in their path in danger. They were one of the people he wanted to stop.
In the summer after his first year of college he attended an EMT class so that he could have an exciting job while in college. He then got his certifications and got hired before school started again. When school started again he worked on the weekends and went to school during the week. While stressful at times he was able to make it work out. He was an EMT for year and a sophomore in college when his whole life changed forever.
After the Seven Hour War:
After the Combine takeover of Earth James was sent to City 45 where he had to adapt from his previous lifestyle to that of living under the Union. While it was hard to adjust at first over time he started to see how the Union had come and brought a higher level of order to the world. There were no more world wars and the Metropolice ensured that the cities would have a maintained sense of order and law. Of course there were people who did not see the same way he did and tried to make resistance groups against the Union. He saw these as a threat to the safety of his fellow Citizens and the Union. He readily informed the MPF of resistance actives and saw it as doing his part for his safety and everyone else. While he could not practice medicine anymore nor study at his university he could do his part in making the world a better place by helping the Union put anti-citizens down so that the law abiding ones were safe.
