Introductions / Good to be back.
« on: August 28, 2012, 07:51:09 PM »
Hello everyone. After months of disappearing, coming back for a few days then disappearing for another month or so, I should be back for good now. After previously playing as a GRID unit(up to OfC), I am excited to get back into the swing of things. I have had a couple big changes in my life such as stepping into the world of Graphic Design, I am currently studying to become an Illustrator( a person who draws and works with vector(shapes not pixels) art). Plus now that school has started again I am less busy. Another reason I havnt been here is that I have been attending tons of concerts e.g.: Vans Warped Tour, Scream It Like You Mean It.

Now that my introduction is over I would like to say I hope to obtain a new unit and grow from there, just got to build a character and hopefully get accepted.

Hello old friends. ;D

Civil Workers Union / Re: Civil Workers Union Applications Cycle 8

(IC PART)

Name: Jack Trez

Citizen identification(CID): 94351

Last Assigned Apartment Number: A1

Age: 31

Why do you want to join the CWU?: From what I have seen the last couple weeks is that the Civil Worker's Union majorly tries to help the union and citizens in anyway they can from their current status. Since the day I first saw one help another citizen in need I aspired hopefully jion their ranks.

Have you ever been detained before?: I have never been detained before and I do not plan on being detained anytime soon.

Past experience with work/labor: Lately it seems I end up being told to clean the Union Civil Housing blocks. I have no problem with this since I just want to help others. Even if it is just cleaning their homes. I have also done some lifting for a female citizen. She wanted come of her furniture moved around so I helped her.

What will you do for us?: Mainly I want to keep the city cleaned. I will most likely try to keep a Civil Worker's Union store up and running so the citizens are able to get more food and supplies that they require or want. Maybe I will try to join the medical ranks and help injured citizens because it seems I like to help others that are hurt but it is contraband for me to have any supplies to truly help them.

How long have you been in City45?: I think a couple of weeks. I am not sure because I have not been keeping track.

Can CWU members be in possession of Alcohol?: Negative. They would never carry contraband.

Can CWU members be in possession of Knifes?: Negative. That would be a high level contraband and very bad for them.

If a citizen runs up to you and starts swearing what do you do?: First I would try to get him to calm down and ask him what is the matter. I would inform him that what he is doing is very bad and a violation both audio and mobility. Then if the situation called for it I would request for a Combine Civil Authority officer to come handle the situation. If I think the citizen is up to no good or any anti-union/civil actions I will try to walk away and notify the CCA of what he looks like and what he is up to.

Any disabilities?: I have none as of this moment but the future can withhold anything.

Have you ever been in a CWU Related Activity?: I have helped some CWU workers a couple times cleaning but other then that no.

Who are the Organizers of the CWU?: James Tavener, Ted Simmons, and John Bourne.

Timezone: Eastern Standard Time

Roleplay Experience: I have been playing in roleplay servers for about three years now.

Why do you want to be accepted into the CWU?: I had a cwu worker before but he moved onto CCA. I actually miss being able to play as one. I think it is a fun way to passive rp. Plus it gives me another thing to do when I have to flag down. They are actually quite fun to play as.

Character Backstory(Must be one paragraph): Jack Trez was not happy at first getting situated to his new life under the Union's rule. By as time slowly progressed he didn't really get much of a choice. Seeing his friends try to rebel and be put down,death, he decided he was not going to join them. He met a man one day. He was very strange but seemed very kind. Jack got some food from him since he wasn't allowed to get his ration. They talked for hours. The man slowly convinced Jack that he should just help the Union make the world a better place. Not rebel and make it harder for the citizens. Jack then decided he would help the Union hoping to become a CWU worker to do this best.

Denied Authorizations / Tek'Vaz'Zen's Authorization Application
« on: December 05, 2011, 06:55:19 PM »
Player Section

Steam Name: RebelGrunt
Age: 16
How long have you been Roleplaying? (can be any game): Almost three years.
How long have you been playing Serious GMod RP?: Off and on for about three years.

Character Section

Authorization(s):
A vortigaunt conscript on the CG city server.

Name: Tek'Vaz'Zen
Age: 107
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Combine

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
OOC:
Tek'Vaz'Zen is a conscript vortigaunt for the combine. He cherishes poetry deeply. Most of his past is blurred out with the beatings he has received over the years. He goes into thought whenever he sweeps always keeping it to himself.
IC:
Tek'Vaz'Zen barely remembers his early ages. In his mind all he sees is beatings. He isn't sure how long it has been since his races slavery. Looking down he sees marks on his exterior from where the shocked him. He can not even remember what they use to shock him since all he can do is feel pain when he sees it. Unsure of why they do this isn't clear to him. These people are following him everywhere he is told to go. Never leaving him. If he is captive and enslaved why do they fear him so? Deciding it is best not to think this he puts it in the back of his mind.
*sounds of one of the people yelling*
Letting out a sigh he begins to sweep the floor again with his broom. Looking around he sees big vehicles sitting stationary on tracks. The people in blue call them "trains". He remembers coming in on one but it looked different. He realizes he stopped sweeping then looks forward quickly. All's he sees is a white shocking light come at his left arm.
*the person hits him with the stunstick*
Tek'Vaz'Zen falls to his knees in pain. Looking at his arm he sees another mark on his skin. He forces himself to stand up, looking at the person that hit him. He lets out another sigh and picks his broom up not saying anything. He hears the words "Sweep! Clean!" again. The two best words he understands. He continues to think to himself as he sweeps the area around the big "trains" but not the special one the people in blackish uniforms come out of since they won't let him near them. He begins to think of his beliefs and what he cherishes most. His life. The Vortessence. Poetry. He loves poetry. The fact of putting deep meaning into a few words fascinates him. He never says it though. Unable to comprehend a word for their language to replace on of his. While he sweeps during his days he usually thinks of new poems and ones passed down to him.
*a strange noise is heard from above*
Looking up he sees big ships carrying pods underneath them. Wandering what they are he goes back into thought. One thing in particular. He doesn't know what happens as long as he makes it through it.

What will these authorizations give your character in regards to perks or defects?
Perks
A chance to try something new in the CG sever.
A liking of poetry and belief of Vortessence.
Kind of understanding of english.
Passive rp chance.

Defects
Only knows simple words, mainly commands he is given to do.
EX: Clean. Sweep, etc.
Enslaved.
Can be killed at anytime.

What do you plan to do with these perks/defects?
I plan to enjoy passive rp a lot more. It will grow my knowledge even more on how to enjoy it more. I also plan to act as a slave for the combine. I plan on being treated as scum from the combine and forced to do tasks such as cleaning.

Will anyone else need these auths? (If so, list OOC and IC name(s))
Nope. I will be the only one.

Which server does this apply for?
City

Extra Notes (optional):
I wasn't sure if they would have a good knowledge of English at all yet. Since it has been only one year. I do not want to change it if so but I would love to know. Thanks!

Civil Authority Applications / James Wilcox's Civil Authority Application
« on: November 03, 2011, 04:17:40 PM »
James Wilcox's Civil Authority Application

OOC Name: RebelGrunt

IC Character Name: James Wilcox

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.
Personally my character thinks that the Union occupying Earth is a glorious thing that happened to us. Like everyone else he was scared at first but he has no problems with the Union. When he was told about some rebels he was impressed that they would stand up for themselves but now he realizes they are foolish since the Union is protecting us and not harming so what is their to fight against? He sees them as the Union as if they are here to help us.

Most people around him were fighting against the Union but when he asked why he was confused with their responses. They said they didn't want to be forced to do anything and they wanted freedom. While the Union isn't forcing us to do anything that will harm us unless we personally give them a reason too. James looks to become a CCA officer to show citizens they aren't all bad considering he is a kind person.

James dad was a very respectful man. While growing up James took after his dad. His dad always told him to show respect and help anyone he can no matter what. James took this to his heart and live by this. When the Seven Hour war was over he was moved from city to city. Everywhere he went he found lots of thieves and murders. He decided that since this is disrespectful to both him and the Union he was going to try to put an end to it. Finding no legal way to stop them other then requesting for CCA officers he decided to find another way.(This last line basically meaning he found joining the CCA the best way to stop them.)

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Respectful, Law-abiding, Trustworthy, Giving, Determined

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 CCA to be a new and enjoyable experience. I have never been a CCA officer but I have watched many of them on multiple servers. It seems like they always have something to do. I love it when a CCA officer ties their old citizen beliefs into their new Union beliefs. They really seem to fascinate me.

As James, I expect it to be a great benefactor to me. My character will even develop more story over time. Plus being part of the CCA is a goal of his so he will enjoy ever second of it. Most of all I want to see what it will be like from the other point of view.(aka meaning not being a citizen) Another huge thing is that I expect it to be fun since their is different sections after training like GRID, NOVA, and UNION.

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.
James Wilcox was born on August 6, 1988 in a hospital near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He grew up in a decent community surrounded by family he loved and cared for. He averaged A's and B's in school, got multiple awards, and never seemed to get into major trouble. But one day that shocked the world changed his life forever, good or bad. When the portal storm opened he was scared for his life. He remembered during the Seven Hour War his mother was killed during a firefight. His family was devasted at the loss of her. His mom and dad were both huge role models in his life. Throughout his childhood he wanted nothing but to be as good-hearted as them. This meant he was personally the most devasted one in his family. He was lucky enough to not be at the firefight where his mom died. As people started to immigrate the major cities of the world his family did the best they could do to help. The house they lived in was packed. People were sleeping on the floors and even on the porch swing. Taking in anyone they can find a space for made James a very proud man. Even when James and his sister were unable to find a spot for someone their dad always made one. James soon became known as a very giving man. James and his family were then relocated to different cities. His dad and sister went to one while James was sent to another.He was devastated by the thought of being away from his family forever. While moving from city to city he found himself surrounded by thieves and murders. Seeing them everywhere always made him angry because there wasn't much he could do to stop them. Helping CCA officers take some of them down showed James the true power of the Union. Deciding his chances against the combine were very slim he decided instead of fighting them why not join them? The city he spent a lot of time in was City 11. There was lots of nice people here and found himself in love with it. He soon found out he loves to help the citizens of City 11 and especially doing what he can for the CCA. He volunteers some of his time to trying his best to keep the streets clean. James has recently obtained a Loyalist armband and is now prouder then ever to be called a Loyalist. He obtained it by cleaning the streets, helping CCA against resistance, reporting any and all anti-union/anti-citizen propoganda. City 45 was going to be James new home soon. As he packed he seemed excited to hopefully find a City that he will able to truly help. When arriving he found he was surrounded by people that were coming from the same city....City 11. Upon entering City 45 James filled an application out for the Civil Workers Union. This might be his ticket to truly help someone. He has recently acquired Civil Workers Union status. He enjoys his job but is disappointed because he has never really helped a citizen other then give random information they asked for. Trying his best to help anyone he can he has finally found his best chances of helping his fellow citizens....being part of the Combine Civil Authority. James filled an application out and sent it in and is now patiently awaiting to hear back.

5) Have you ever had a CCA character here at Catalyst Gaming?  If so, explain why it was removed.
Nope.

Half-Life 2 Roleplay / What is Outlands exactly?
« on: October 12, 2011, 07:22:57 PM »
What is outlands? ???
My guess so far is that its like HL2RP but it is near the edge or the city or even outside of it.
From pictures I have seen(not many) I think it is mainly a place for rebels.
Is it suppose to tie in with the catalyst gaming HL2RP c11 map?
Or is it completly different then it?

I never see many people in it when I look so is it not popular or fun?
I am thinking of trying it if there is more then ten people on it.

Civil Workers Union / Re: Suggestion
« on: October 11, 2011, 09:39:12 PM »
I love the key idea and the fact that they should pretty much take care/run the apartments. :) Maybe when someone new enters through the train station a CWU desk can be set up near the end of that tunnel so they can be assigned a room if they like(it can be free or be a small fee probably no more then 10 tokens).
Or maybe a shop can be used to sell apartment rooms since most shops aren't always in use.

I like this a lot. ;D

I really like this a lot. It seems to be some kids every now and then that randomly join spamming can someone help me in OOC.
This would be very helpful to the new community and more experienced players if they need random bits of information about the city and its inhabitants.
Very good suggestion.  ;D
