Full Name Adrian Fasjovik CID 99662 Sex Female Age Twenty-Nine
What interests you in a position with the Citizen Hospital? My skills are going to waste. I would rather apply my skills to the hospital in the aims of helping a few, rather than abandoning my education out of spite for the Combine Occupation.
I crave distraction. I'm weary of walking the same gray streets every day, with no motivation to do anything. I hope that employment at the hospital will help augment what is now a bland, boring life.
There are economic and social benefits.
What skills might you bring to the Citizen Hospital? - Fluency in two languages: Swedish and English - Medical education (Upsalla Medical University) - Very clean and organized
If you have any previous medical experience, reference what and when below. Volunteered at Danderyds Sjukhus (Hospital in Central Stockholm) Graduate from Upsalla University in Surgical Sciences (also recieved pre-med training here) Internship at Danderyds Sjukhus, working mostly in Internal Medicine Reached position as Assistant Surgeon, eventually advanced further to Surgeon specializing in Heart Surgery Began to tire of surgery; made preparations to go into diagnostic medicine, plans interrupted by war

This is technically a character from the previous Outlands server, but by the time the authorization application was accepted the population was winding down and shortly after both City and Outlands were closed. I'm hoping that since I never really got the oppurtunity to roleplay this character, the technical revival of an older char can be overlooked so I can get a chance to actually RP her.
How long have you been playing serious hl2rp with cg? Twoish years, at least.
What knowledge do you yourself have on medical care? Certified in CPR, looking into certification in First Aid (I've just been to lazy to get around to actually doing it). Going to enroll in a 6 week program to become a CNA this summer. The unique challenge in this character is that her medical expertise far exceeds my own; nonetheless, I hope I can be successful with her.)
Have you ever done medical rp before? State what, when, and where if applicable. Simon Reilly, Outlands Doctor, CG Outlands Bill Schwartz, CHP Employee, CG City
This application has been accepted. Please see the director for an interview.
This is going to require some community imagination. We've got dates for the major events and such, but there's still some fuzzy areas that I think could use some modification. Something like this:
Xth of X, 20XX: Survivors of the Seven Hour War are transported to occupied cities that have been reformatted for Universal Union purposes. All belongings are thoroughly checked and any materials that don't fit accepted criteria are confiscated.
Xth of X, 20XX: Universal Union outlaws non-regulated clothing. Citizens are issued denim uniforms and instructed to turn in all non-regulated clothing to be incinerated.
This could all probably go into the IC information thing. I think it'd help a lot for people writing backstories or for passive roleplay when people are talking about the past. If anyone's got a point they want to add to timeline, we could eventually amass a big collection of 'em and admins could assign dates 'n shit. Post opinions and what such below
Full Name Billy Schwartz CID 00639 Sex Male Age Thirty-One
What interests you in a position with the Citizen Hospital? I'm looking to help the Universal Union and by extension the citizens of City Eighteen. I don't want my talents and education to go to waste; though times are tough, there's no point in wallowing in misery when good can be done. There are also obvious monetary and social advantages, though these are less of a factor than the points mentioned before.
What skills might you bring to the Citizen Hospital? I have a Graduate's Degree in Chemistry, and was a Registered General Nurse before the war. I'm well versed in patient care, having had volunteer experience at a nursing home before being put on payroll. I have a deep understanding of medication, though this isn't a documented skill. I am good with people, having worked in a drug store as a clerk.
If you have any previous medical experience, reference what and when below. - Worked night hours at Rite Drug Pharmacy, 4 Years - Volunteered at Heritage Senior Citizens Home, 3 Years - Nurse at Heritage Senior Citizens Home, 6 years

What knowledge do you yourself have on medical care?
Certified in CPR, looking into certification in First Aid (I've just been to lazy to get around to actually doing it). Going to enroll in a 6 week program to become a CNA this summer. Learned a lot from research to roleplay medical characters, and for whatever it counts, I've watched all six seasons of House MD, which like, makes me pretty much a phd.
This application has been accepted. Please see the medical director for an interview.
I think it would be better if they weren't armed. Giant weirdos with acid guns is a little cheesy, at least, in my book. Maybe instead, the Cremators could come and collect the body, and bring it somewhere for disposal?
Benefits would include providing Civilians a little bit of a show, allowing some passive roleplay for those playing the Cremators, and hauling their body off to places unknown would add to the enigmatic demeanor of the Combine, instead of adding more to the brutal side that we would see everyday in the CCA and OTA. It could also provide a neat opportunity for possible resistance roleplay: while a unit stands guard by a corpse waiting for Creepy-Cremator, it would be an ample time for an ambush.
I get that the whole /radio ? thing works good and all, but I just don't think it looks as clean as what I suggested. I really don't know too much about developing content or writing lua or whatever, but this seems like it would be easy to implement.
However, if enough players and admins think it's unnecessary, I'll understand.
Seems as though most people have already made up their minds, and there's little I can do to change that. Maybe I did try to tackle a subject that was too broad for me to handle, and for that, I apologize. At this time though, this particular application is too ambiguous. I"ll take a few weeks to adjust the issues, or discard the character, but as per now, an admin could move this to denied.
To address the concerns that the backstory is too short, or lacking in depth, I'll be uploading an alternate version with the original inside it. Until then, please hold on to further judgments.
The interview seems like a quick way to gain a few auths with minimal effort as all you have to do is tell the man things you've done.
I thought that the interview was a neat way to describe how the character got to her level of talent, but it might seem a little transparent. I'll type up a more depthy version detailing the character's history in a more tradition way (expect later tonight or late tomorrow).
Steam Name: Frolie Age: Fifteen How long have you been Roleplaying? (can be any game): About Five years. How long have you been playing Serious GMod RP?: A little over Two years.
Character Section
Authorization(s): Talents in Computer Hacking, Programming, Coding, and Networking In-Depth knowledge of Computer Software and Hardware
Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations. The following is the written transcript for interrogation of Madelyn Gendry Krane. Madelyn has been under investigation for five months, suspected of being involved with the Cyber-Crime group 'The Faceless Men'. Before her arrest, discussions were held to hire members of the group to work for M15 in exchange for dropping the charges. This interview was conducted to determine whether she was compatible for the job.
Spoiler for Backstory:
D.Roebuck: Madelyn Krane, alias Whisper. Come up with that one yourself? M.Krane: I used it once, on a whim. It sort of stuck. D.Roebuck: Are you prepared to confess? M.Krane: Why bother? You've got enough evidence to convict, and you would have already if you didn't want something from me. D.Robuck laughs. D.Roebuck: Witty. That's in your file, you know. M.Krane: Really? Had no idea the spooks were that detailed. D.Roebuck: When it comes to special persons like yourself, Miss Crane, we make exceptions. M.Krane: Special person am I? Such a flirt. D.Roebuck: Enough chatter. You're correct in that we've got plenty of evidence, easily enough to put you behind bars for the majority of your life. This does not need to happen. M.Krane: Predictably. D.Roebuck: This interview is taking place only to find if you're compatible to work with MI5, Miss Krane, so I suggest you watch your tone, and chose your words with care. Make a bad impression and you’ll find yourself behind bars. M.Krane: Well get on with it then. If I'm going to prison, I'd like to go sooner rather than later. D.Roebuck: In a hurry, are we? Fine, we'll get on with it. When did your interest in computers begin. M.Krane: I am my fathers daughter, and my father made his fortune in computers. When I was young, my dad was distant, so I took an interest in his interest. Over time it changed from a desire to bond, and into a sort of specialty. M.Krane: How old were you exactly. M.Krane: Nine or Ten, I think. I remember my dad was alone in his office behind his keyboard, as he spent so many other nights, and I picked up something of his, a computer piece, just to get his attention. He seemed to jump at the opportunity to tell me what it was and what it did. After that I'd pick up more things, and he'd explain them. I'd watch him work some days after school, and when I got older I showed off what I'd learned to my school mates. D.Roebuck: The details are irrelevant. M.Krane: I'm a story-teller, love. You'll have to put up with it. D.Roebuck: Whatever. On file, we've got a school write-up concerning a bit of your computer mischief. Explain. M.Krane: You fellows truly are nit-picky, aren't you? D.Roebuck: It's our job. Explain the incident. M.Krane: I was thirteen, stupid, and annoyed that I couldn't get on certain sites. D.Roebuck: Which sites? M.Krane: Does that matter? It didn't to me. I was just pissed that they were restricting me at all. D.Roebuck: So what did you do? M.Krane: I disabled the Network's Firewall by setting up an SSH tunnel. It sounds snobby when I call it 'elementary' stuff, but it really was. Frankly, the IT department was shit and couldn't figure out what had been done for more than a month after I'd done. D.Roebuck: And your dad taught you all this? M.Krane: The word 'taught' doesn't really describe it, but then, I can't find a better way to put it. He taught me some, and I learned some more on my own. D.Roebuck: So you hacked- M.Krane: Exploited. D.Roebuck: What? M.Krane: I prefer the word exploited. Hacked sounds so... fictional. D.Roebuck: Right... either way, you found a way past the restrictions of your schools network. Did your dad stop teaching you after that? M.Krane: Quite the opposite. I guess the fact that I was using these skills outside of our home proved to him that I wasn't just trying to impress him. Every spare second he spent telling me this and that, and when he wasn't I was learning by myself. D.Roebuck: And that was the end of your trouble in school? M.Krane: No, but it was the end of what they discovered. D.Roebuck: What else did you do? M.Krane: Well, if I hadn't done anything, I would've flunked out of school. D.Roebuck: You changed your grades? M.Krane: Among other things. D.Roebuck: Interesting... D.Roebuck writes more in the file. M.Krane: I'll get my hands on that. D.Roebuck: On what? M.Krane: Everything you're writing about me. D.Roebuck: Stop getting distracted. M.Krane: You haven't asked me any more questions yet. I'm not getting distracted, just staying occupied. D.Roebuck: D.Roebuck pauses. D.Roebuck: Fair enough. M.Krane: Like I said, I'm very much looking forward to prison, so let's speed it up with the questions. D.Roebuck: Right. Did you receive any other form of computer education before college? M.Krane: With my exceptional grades- D.Roebuck: Fake grades. M.Krane: Doesn't matter, it all looks the same on paper. With those grades I was given the option to take elective courses, and I took one in Computer Careers and another in Software engineering. D.Roebuck: How long did those courses last? M.Krane: I started them in Year Twelve, and they lasted until I graduated. Two years. D.Roebuck: And then you applied to Cambridge? M.Krane: Why are you even asking me these questions if you've already go the answers? D.Roebuck: It helps to hear your perspective. M.Krane: In that case, yes, I did apply to Cambridge. With my grades, a few recommendations from my teachers, and a sizable donation to the school from my father, they graciously decided to let me in. D.Roebuck: Your father bribed the school to accept you? M.Krane: Oh no, the donation and the acceptance were coincidence. D.Roebuck rolls his eyes. D.Roebuck: What did you major in? M.Krane: I was a triple major. Computer sciences, engineering, and networking. D.Roebuck: Quite the course load. M.Krane: Attributed to why I failed all of them. D.Roebuck: You failed? On file, it says you dropped out. M.Krane: I dropped out when I had the dignity to do it. D.Roebuck: Why didn't you change your grades like you did in High School? M.Krane shrugs. M.Krane: I was busy with other computer projects. D.Roebuck: So you had already started you little group? M.Krane: I was a co-founder. And just because we had few members doesn't mean we were little, we made an impact. D.Roebuck: The Nameless Men were terrorists. M.Krane: Vigilantes, doing your job for you. D.Roebuck: You broke laws. M.Krane: We broke Red Tape, for the greater good. D.Roebuck: You stole. M.Krane: From criminals! Besides, we needed money to fund our work. D.Roebuck: Luckily for us, you left a decent bit of evidence in yours and your friends houses, and your friends have confessed to their crimes and are willing to testify against each other. M.Krane: All of them against each other? How's that possible. D.Roebuck: It really isn't, it's just a method we use to get them on file implicating others in their crimes. M.Krane: That doesn't sound legal. D.Roebuck: It's a grey area. M.Krane: So, given that we've worked our way up to the present, have you made a decision? D.Roebuck: The decision isn't mine to make. This tape and this file go higher up on the food chain, and they make the decision. M.Krane: So we're done. D.Roebuck: For now. Until the decision has been made, you'll be under house arrest. I've been appointed as your warden. M.Krane: Pending my being hired, how much would I be paid? D.Roebuck:Your salary would depend on the quality of your work, but you would start at £36,000 pounds a year. M.Krane:Would I be on file? D.Roebuck:Technically you wouldn't exist at all. Hiring people of your repute is still a touchy matter, so you would be listed as a classified or unidentified consultant. M.Krane:Good. I have a reputation to maintain, and that doesn't not include working for the government.
Madelyn and four others from the group were hired onto the staff as security consultants. Madelyn was the only one to become a permanent installation.
What will these authorizations give your character in regards to perks or defects? Perks + Provided she has any sort of technology to work on, her talents could supply her with a job + Talents could prove useful in scenarios when the character has access to a computer
Defects - Without a computer, these talents are almost useless - The character would be amputated if it was discovered she was under the employ of MI5
What do you plan to do with these perks/defects? I hope to build an intriguing character with a bizarre past, and hopefully supply to the Passive Roleplay in the City.
Will anyone else need these auths? (If so, list OOC and IC name(s)) No, just myself.
I hate to be that guy, but this application has been up for a couple of days now, and I've got some admin, SA, and player support. Sorta jonesin' to RP this character, so could I'd really appreciate a verdict sometime soon.
This problem isn't really a problem- more of an imperfection. For you Outlands folks talking over the radio, or you units keeping in contact with each other over the radio, this is functional enough:
Generic Name radios in "Oh dear, here come the Overwatch Transhuman Agents! Quickly everyone, seek the nearest cover!"
That works just fine. But suppose you have to use the radio command to portray a sound? In the Outlands at least, I've seen this method used many times:
Generic Name radios in "*An agonizing scream and the sharp shots of AR2 rounds blare over the radio*"
Just doesn't look good.
The Solution?
What I suggest is a sort of 'local event' to be utilized over the radio, to eliminate the bother seen above. In my mind, when typed, it would look something like this:
When typed: /radioit An agonizing scream and the sharp shots of AR2 fire blare over the radio. In game: An agonizing scream and the sharp shots of AR2 fire blare over the radio.
With this method, anyone tuned in on the frequency in question would be able to hear whats going on ICly, without the eyesore that we've got now. Below, I've simulated a situation where this could be used:
Spoiler for Hiden:
** Generic name beams his flashlight down across the earthy walls of the mine. ** The scuttling sound of a headcrab across stone echo's down the tunnel walls. ** Generic Name swallows nervously, pulling his radio off his belt and bringing it up to his lips to speak. Generic Name radios in "I'm down in the mines, below the bunker. I thought I heard-" ** An olive-shade headcrab, oily and thin, flies out of the darkness into the light of Generic Name's flashlight, launching itself onto the unfortunate man's shoulder before climbing up onto his skull and beginning to burrow. ** Generic Name screams out in horror as the creature begins the horrifying process, his finger still sealed like a vice around the 'talk' button of his radio. A horrible scream, unmistakably Generic Name's, rings out over the radio.
Generic Name2 radios in "What the hell was that?" Generic Name3 radios in "Generic Name, can you hear me?!"
Hoping the dev's can fix some kind of script for this. Post your opinions below, or ways this suggestion could be improved.
It's almost obligatory, but Tray's getting support from me- for more than just his inventive, and creative RP. Tray's been out of the loop for a good while know, I think that I'm not the only one who's missed his presence in the Outlands.
This character is interesting and innovative, and I think the character (not to mention the... 'man' portraying him) should make a good addition to the new environment the Outlands is beginning to cultivate for itself.
Took me a while, but this list should give you the gist of what I'm asking for.
