Desmond O'Reilly Green.'s Civil Authority ApplicationOOC Name: EmperorDisaster
IC Character Name: Desmond O'Reilly Green.
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.Desmond feels as though his dark past could relate to a dark future, if he continues to provoke it from occurring again. He wants to show how the ordinary citizen who dismisses the Union can become a thing of the past. This way, he himself could promote the Union in the best possible way, becoming part of it. If he were to be accepted, Desmond would be sure to do his duty for the Union to make up for his past.
Secondly, Desmond feels, truly, as though it could be the only way forward. He'd hung about with the dangerous folk of City 45, and not once did he see the acts of heroes, but the acts of murderers and thieves. He now believes that most of the actions taken by the Union are strictly logical, and can sometimes be the only option in situations. So for reason 2, Desmond has decided to help, rather than hinder the Union.
Finally, Desmond would like to see a better standard of life. The UCH seems to only be filled with small, cramped apartments, that only cause him discomfort rather than comfort, meaning he never really feels as energetic as he could, although he is unaware of the chemicals preventing most of his energy. He is also aware of the vast amounts of tokens he could receive, which, once he becomes part of the Union, he could use to purchase shipments and items for the Union. Finally, Desmond wishes to join the CCA for the luxuries.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)Strong-hearted, good-willed, trustworthy, honest, authoritative
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.Well, I expect a whole new experience of RP from the CCA, as for a citizen, the RP is simple, which can be played as fearful, angered, or respectful of the Union. However, as a Unit, you are now part of the CCA, meaning an entirely new range of RP is introduced, such as a change in personality throughout promotions, a new usage of vocabulary and knowledge, and, a new profound respect of the Union, till the player is emerged into a complete hypnosis. The stage of complete hypnosis, however, would not be reached until the stage of an 01 at least, and even then I would probably just RP as a Union-loving CP rather than a completely dazed one. In all, I expect some very fun, new roleplay for myself.
As for my character, I think he could expect a new, and interesting standard of life. He has never thought of joining the CCA previously, and decided to out of complete impulse, meaning it could not be all he hopes for. Desmond sees the Union as a teacher, rather than a provoker of humankind, meaning that he could get along with the higher ranks just fine. As the promotions go along, Desmond could finally decide once and for all if the true side of the Union is what he wants to live with, or if he can no longer stand it. In all, it would be life-changing for him.
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.Desmond Green: Aged 10. Desmond was sat at his computer desk, typing away onto Microsoft Word, claiming he could write a story. The computer was an old, Windows 98 model, which had been outdated for the current time. His family were not exactly the richest of people, nor did they live in a large city, acquiring currency so much that their pockets ached. He just lived in a simple village household, on a small Irish farmland, with his large family, and his small town. He was very good at IT stuff, and would often do things abnormally smart for his age. At the age of 11, Desmond managed to reboot his Grandmother's computer after a virus struck, simply by remembering to activate Norton, start a scan, and restart. It may have seemed infantile to normal people, but to his simpleton family, it was very good. By the age of 16, he'd passed his ICT GCSE with an A, he'd graduated from college with an A in his A level IT work. Finally, he'd decided to save up for a job in England, working in an IT department. Who needed university anyway? The prices were way too high. The IT department was an easy job, as half the time you were asked "How do I get it to turn on?" to which the reply was normally "Press the button." Desmond's skills were reasonable for the average IT expert, as in they weren't very expertise... He'd been able to code a website and create web pages for people, but half the time he was making websites for businesses that had been open for a few seconds. One day in the office, the ground rumbled, as blue lights tore through the sky hitting the ground below. No one was allowed to touch the light, as army camps were set up around it to strictly forbid trespassers. The lights messed up almost all electricity down below, meaning Desmond could no longer work at the IT centre. One day, as he came home, the skies tore open again, this time, with tiny ships fluttering out. Explosions tore the road ahead, as Desmond only just made it to his house. His family were running through the corn fields, running from the explosions, but just as Desmond was watching, he was hit over the head, causing him to fall. Someone had hit him with a baton like object, to which the field was lit up by the someone. The field burned away, as had his family. "You motherf-" was all Desmond could say, before a needle injected into him sent him to sleep.
Desmond sat in his apartment finishing his CCA application, folding the paper and placing it in his pocket. He sat and the chair, wondering... "What next?" He said...
