2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)Boris Gorbachev is a generous, kind, very lawful, and very trusting person. Most of his traits come from his communism.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.For Boris, he feels that joining the Combine Civil Authority will be a great experience. He looks foward to helping in detaining troublemakers who disrupt the sociostablity of the city. He knows there will be awful times where he may have to do things he may regret for the rest of his life. He has seen these things happen before. Just recently, people were being amputated for being infected with a disease that was going around. He knows he will have to do things like that, but he more importantly knows that it is always for the greater good of mankind.
As for me, I am eager to join the Combine Civil Authority once more. I have joined before, and had a great experience. I wish to have that experience again. I find it really fun to be a member of the Combine Civil Authority.
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.Born and raised in Moscow, Russia, Boris Gorbachev was a child growing up during the Cold War era of the Soviet Union. His father, Kiril Gorbachev, was a Communist politician. As such, he raised his son to be a Communist. Communism is the idea of sharing and equality for all. No one could be any more important than another, being rich meant having to share most of your salary with those less fortunate, and social classes were almost non-existent. Boris supported Communism greatly. He believed absolute equality is the key to greatness.
Boris's mother died giving birth to him. Kiril raised Boris by himself. Usually the father-son families can be very tough. Boris was a little rebellious when he was a teenager. He was angry with his father concerning himself more to the political press conferences and such things and spending less time with him. Boris eventually moved out on his own as soon as he reached the age of 18, in 1986. That was the last Boris had seen of his father.
By the time Boris was 22, he had a job as a bar tender. The name of his bar was "Boris's Bar". He had an apartment in the city. Boris also had a relationship with a woman from Ukraine named "Elena Kropenko". However, it was brief and was the only intimate relationship he ever had.
Being a bar tender eventually led Boris to getting drunk at nights on his own booze. This is how he became an alcoholic, stereotypically preferring vodka. Boris tried to get help and rehabilitation, but none of it worked. He would eventually find his way back to drinking.
In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed. The collapse of the Soviet Union also triggered the fall of Communism. Boris was furious about this. He quickly became a strong supporter of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. It was all that was left of communism in the former Soviet Russia.
In 2015, the Seven Hour War began. Boris was in his apartment when he heard air raid sirens wail all across town. He heard russian troops outside saying russian in megaphones "Attention. An evacuation is in effect. Please report outside where you will be taken to a Protection Center and given further information". Boris, along with his neighbors, went outside to the russian troops. Confused and scared, they followed the orders of the troops. They were all loaded onto Ural-4320s and taken to a Protection Center. Boris asked the troop that was there what was going on. The soldier replied to him in russian "You will all be given further information at the destination". Boris looked up and could see several Mil Mi-17s heading west. Above them was a squadron of several Su-35s heading the same direction. Boris knew that something bad was going on.
The convoy finally arrived at the Protection Center. They were all unloaded and sent inside as the trucks left to gather more evacuees. At the Protection Center, one of the troops spoke into a megaphone. "Attention. You are all here to be protected from an invading force heading to Moscow. We have recieved word that the United States has been invaded by unknown hostile forces three and a half hours ago. These hostiles have already taken much of the United States and have already pushed across the Atlantic and through European territory. The hostile forces have already made an advance to the western border. Fear not, for our brave military has been sent in to fight back these hostiles. In the meantime, you are to remain here." he said in russian.
Boris took out his phone and opened the radio application on it. He sat down and flipped through different frequencies until he could find the main frequency used by the Russian Armed Forces. From there, he evesdropped on everything that happened. The radio operators spoke in russian. "Tsar, this is Drajon 1. Battalion en route to defence line, over." "Copy, Drajon 1. Advise on all occurences from here on, over." "Affirmative, Drajon 1 out." "Tsar, this is First Air Fleet 1. Confirm on offensive on hostiles 200 miles west of defence line, over." "Confirmed, First Air fleet 1. Proceed 200 miles west to predicted hostile location, over." "Affirmative, Tsar. First Air fleet 1, out." "Attention all ground and air battalions, this is High Command. We have confirmed all lost communication with invaded countries. Sattellite Reconnaissance confirms. Hostile forces are large and considered very strong. We must strike the hostiles before they reach the defence line. All remaining battalions who have not been assigned a position are to go along side First Air Fleet 200 miles west of defence line and further if neccessary. We must also place priority of defending the entire Eastern Bloc if possible. Our forces will rendezvous with armed forces from Ukraine. All forces are now to carry out their orders. High Command out." "Kraken copys all." "Miko copys all." "Hammer copys all"(the rest of the battalions said the same.)
Some time later, radio chatter increased as the offensive was made. "Tsar, Kraken here. Armed forces have rendezvoused with Ukrainian forces and are now proceeding to hostile engagement, over." "Copy, Kraken. Do not show mercy, over." "Affirmative, Tsar. Kraken out." Then thats when the battle of the offensive started. They did not stand a chance. "Kraken, this is Tsar. Sitrep, now, over." "*cough* *cough* The *pant* the hostiles have managed to defeat our battalion, I do not know of the others, but our numbers have reduced greatly. I fear that we- OH NO! HERE COMES ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE HUN-*flechette fire heard*" "Kraken, come in Kraken, do you copy? Kraken! *sigh* Miko, come in Miko, do you copy? Miko? Anyone, do you copy?" "*radio static*" "First Air Fleet, this is Tsar. We've lost contact with our ground forces. Do you copy? over." "First Air Fleet 1, copys all, over." "First Air Fleet 1, give me a sitrep. over." "It is not looking good, the skies are filled with hostile air forces. We are having a hard time-*explosion heard*" "First Air Fleet 1, come in First Air Fleet 1, do you copy? over" "*more radio static*" "Drajon, this is Tsar. We've lost contact with forces in the offensive. Do you copy? over." "Drajon copys all, over." "Drajon, be ready for intense hostile engagement, over." "Affirmative, Tsar. Preparing for attacks, over." "Copy, Tsar out." Drajon didnt stand a chance either. "Tsar, hostiles have pushed our forces back. Some have already proceeded into the country, we are having a lot of trouble fighting them ba-*strider cannon heard*" "Drajon? Come in damnit! High Command, defence line has been breached! Advise."
Not too long later, an entire massive fleet of gunships and dropships was above Moscow. They began firing at anything in sight. Boris took cover where he could. The battle lasted for an hour, and then the hostiles seized fire.
The Russian defence in the west border and the offensive was futile as the hostiles, or otherwise known as the Combine, had defeated them in a matter of two hours. The Combine finally arrived at Moscow where the battle continued. Boris knew the military stood no chance. Russia, along with all the nations of the Earth, surrendered shortly after.
Boris was then transferred to City 45. Boris is enthusiastic about life under Combine rule. The way everyone is at the same level and civilization is valued highly, it reminds him of the old Communist ways of the Soviet Union. Because alcohol has been out-lawed, Boris has been able to overcome his alcoholism. Because of all the good the Universal Union has done so far for him, Boris is a Loyalist.
