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. Hello there my name is Jack Sharps, Citizen Identification Number 97619 as required by the application process.It all starts along time ago with my father and grandfather. They have spent many hours teaching me to always respect all manners of authority. The first line they spoke each and every morning to me was, "Jack O boy you better respect law enforcement because they will be the one protecting your family and friends". Then one day on that faithful morning, was the day that changed it all for me.
The day started out as normal. Jack got up , and had his morning meal with his father and grandfather. The next thing he knew, this man, if you can even call him that, busted into Jack's house and tried to rob it.
As the man ran outside, an officer was driving by and Jack flagged him down. The officer went after the man. He soon got the man but from that day forward Jack wanted to follow in the officer's footsteps. He started trying to make himself strong so that he could have a career in law enforcement.
He never got the chance to join law enforcement as the 7 hour war started. As you could have expected law enforcement was no more after the 7 hour war.
That was until the civil protection came into being, Jack knew he had to join it to pay back the officer that saved him when he helped him out back then.
This is why he is asking to be let into the ranks so he can pay back the officer for all that he did.
Thank you for reviewing my application and I hope you would consider this.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)Lawful
Helpful
Honest
Willingness to work as a team.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?What I am expecting is my character to have a hard time at first to learn all the stuff that is required of him.
My character would expect that he would be treated as a outsider in the CCA because he has just joined and would not know their way of doing things.
As my character builds on the lessons he learns from trying, he would start to feel more at home in the Civil Protection then he has felt in a long time.
He would also build on his skills and training and earn the respect of his superiors.
As the days go on he would build on the lessons of the days of his recruitment period.
He would start to get it down to reflex reactions, and start to do them automatically.
After that I expect my character to finally be able to act and move as a member of a civil protection team.
He would conform in the end to the full beliefs of the Union and become one of their many soldiers.
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.The back story of my character is a person who wants to repay something he believes he owes to a officer from a long time ago. My character wanted to live up to his father and grandfather. He had no mother since she died during his birth. He spent his time learning about law enforcement and growing to respect it.
During the 7 hour war he tried to help people but had to run to the bunker to save himself as the area was blown up around him. As he got out of the bunker he was captured and taken to a holding area to be processed into a citizen. His first transfer was to the starting up city of city 85. This city was a test bed for the process of controlling citizen.
The streets were bathed in blood as some of the people of this city tried to take it back from the union. It did not work so well. He remembered a mass hanging in the park with over 200 citizens losing their life. Back in those days rations were disputed and fought over, sometimes violently.
He spent 6 months there before being moved to city 18 and he had to get used to that city where he saw how officers treated citizens there and that they were the nicest he had ever seen. He saw that their numbers were so few and wanted to join to help shape this new city into the safest city citizens could ever live in.
Now that he has been transferred to City 8 after spending time in City 18, he will keep up his goal of joining the civil protection, which he is looking forward to in the future. Well, he expects it to be very hard as first. He would need to learn the proper ways of his position. He might not get it at first, but he would try to learn it as fast as he could. He would spend a lot of energy on learning how to be the best civil protection officer that he can be.
He would try to build on past lessons as best that he could. He would always show up to do his job no matter how much he hated to do it. Because the job always has to be done no matter how bad it is. It would always be done to the best effort that he could do.
There will be some days that are pretty bad, and there will be some days that are pretty good. He's going to try and give it 110 percent everyday no matter what happens to him. He plans on spending the rest of his life as an officer and he plans on nothing happening to him anytime soon.
This will been the last job he plans on doing and he will be willing to give it his all, no matter what.

7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience? Well one of the most memorable RP experience has to be a raid into what is called D2 on the server. Three Five-man teams entered from 3 ways. ( Bridge , Subway , Low Level ). Within 5 mins the team in the subway was wiped out by a well placed bomb. It caved in the subway and crushed the team under a lot of rocks.
The team I was in was engaged around the pizza shop. After losing one man and 2 taking bullets in their arms and legs, we ended up dragging them into the building and setting up a fire line with the 2 downed team members using they're pistols while me and another officers used our MP7's. We RP'ed flipping over a table and pushing it in front of the counter. After 35 mins of S2M, ( Shoot to miss ) The other team showed up, and with their support removed the anti-citizen problem.
I was tasked with carrying the officer that was shot in the legs back to the Nexus and it was the long way to due to the entrance of the Nexus that had caved in 2 days beforehand.
The officer recovered and our team got the Long Fight Medal ( Survive a major firefight against the enemy ). As an 04 I loved taking part in that event, and always wishing for more like that.
