Denarius Vulcan's Metropolice Force ApplicationOOC Name: Revan(Dredigan, depending.)
IC Character Name: Denarius Vulcan
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.Denarius Vulcan is a character with an over-whelming sense of pride. Though he may think he's smarter than he is, he generally thinks he's better than everyone else around him. He believes that he can conquer all, be it through mental or physical means. Because he thinks he's the brightest person on the block, he doesn't like to hold himself on the bottom of the political scale.
Denarius was raised to be more of an oddball type of person. Never getting along with people that were around him, determination always took over to bring him to his goals. A profound hate for others boils inside of him, unless such can prove that they're better than he is. Most of the units he sees on a daily basis, he doesn't believe are worth respecting. And so, he is determined to climb the ranks of the Combine Civil Authority.
And for the third and foremost reason, Denarius wishes to uphold his own political beliefs. The Combine Civil Authority's ideals match closely to his ideal form of Government. His thinking would follow something along the lines of, "Why would I serve underneath something that I could help rule?" Though it may not be entirely true about the Civil Authority, he would like nothing less than to be in a position where he could uphold his own thoughts.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)Prideful - Denarius has an a personal overwhelming sense of pride. He likes to think he's better than everyone else, to show for it.
Determined - Raised on the docks of Edinburg, Scotland, Denarius would have to be determined to achieve his goals.
Greedy - Simply put, Denarius craves power and money; he was generally out for himself, and still is.
Anti-Social - Raised on the docks of Edinburg, Denarius would have been working from an early age. As problems fall upon him, he would eventually begin to dislike others, and thus not wish to have many friends.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.I've played as a unit on Catalyst before, so I basically know what to expect. Yet, I hope that I'm wrong for the most part. Most of my time in Catalyst resulted being around units who did a simple, "/me salutes". I'd expect much more than that, this time around. And I would expect nothing less to be pushed to my role playing limits.
For my character, I would think that his life would change drastically. Having an understanding what it is ICly, but not -entirely- sure, I'm sure that Denarius may be in for a surprise. I expect for him to not fit in that well with others, yet struggle to advance with the other recruits.
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.Denarius Vulcan sprawled to live in 1993, Edinburg, Scotland, as the fourth installment to his family. However, his family fell apart after his birth, leaving the new-born up for adoption. Thus, Denarius was raised to a middle-class family in the same place of his birth, Edinburg, Scotland. For most of his youth, he worked underneath his father at the local docks after school. His father was one of the many people whom fished for a living, and Denarius was right at his heels to do so as well.
In the year 2002, Denarius' father's marriage began to crumble. Debts began to pile, and life seemed to turn upside down. In 2003, being only fifteen, his father and mother began to go through a lengthy divorce which would last until 2004; in this time period, Denarius would simply continue his job and drown out his emotions, remaining completely stoical. Once the divorce ended, his father had complete custody over the boy. Alongside that, his father began to drink and stop working as much as he use to, leaving Denarius to continue to work alone, in attempt to support the two-man family. However, despite everything Denarius would do to support his father and their life style, he was beat. His father was soon hospitalized due to a stroke. Denarius was informed that his father had very slim chances of surviving.
Many a lone nights Denarius spent at the hospital. He couldn't deny his love for his late-abusive father, however furious he may had been for his actions. Days and nights passed; and then so did his father. Denarius stayed stoical, sober, through the ordeal, but was emotionally damaged for some time. He worked without word for several more months until portal storms would begin to appear. Fear swelled inside of his body, but none would show, even if the man wanted it to. He felt almost inhuman.
Late 2006, extra-terrestrials came from the swirling clouds. They invaded the city, and began to quell any resistance and anyone whom seemed harmful. Denarius retreated into his basement, blocked off the entries, and tuned a T.V to the news. He stayed quiet, without food or drink, for seven full hours until a broadcast of defeat spurred throughout the globe; one figure stood responsible it would seem, Wallace Breen. It made no matter, though. Denarius declined to live his life as some whelp if he could survive the in inevitable onslaught of his race. Once on the surface though, he was warded a surprise. The city was clamped off and survivors huddled into the man sections. Other-worldly begins took dead bodies from the streets, but did no harm to the remaining people.
At the end of 2006, to early 2007, beings in blue uniforms were dropped off at each city. They simply holed off areas, and stopped whatever crime which happened, all the while, they conscripted people into something known as the Metropolice Force. However, there was always the option of joining willingly. Denarius, despite being a stoical individual with a wall built around his mind, decided that it would be in his best interest to see how this plays out and not to join the army of men with alien technology. Midway through 2007, a train track was finally laid down at Edinburg, Scotland. A giant, blue, slick train rolled in, and each citizen was forced to board it. Miles, and miles, and miles went by, until they landed in Russia, or City Eighteen. Each citizen was given a plastic card by a member of the Metropolice Force, or now known as Combine Civil Authority. Each citizen was also given a matching blue City Eighteen jumpsuit.
