John Burke's Civil Authority Application
OOC Name: sarge60 IC Character Name: John Burke 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. John Burke was a fairly normal man even in the new order of the combine. Prior to getting transferred to City 45, he started building his muscles once more and making his body stronger. He had studied self-defense before. The urge to get back into shape was strong and he was more than willing to do it. After the first year of post-invasion, he was relocated to City 45. He had lived quietly for a while, trying to keep to his own. He began to realize that although he didn't like the Combine, he knew one thing; He hated even more the people who disrupted the peace that Combine brought and tried to fight back, resulting in more harm than help. He understood that what the world needed was the resistance to be gone and destroyed; keeping order was the first step to healing the world and helping the Combine. He was prepared to help the Combine, and began to work on keeping his muscles from wasting away. The year, however, went horribly for him; He was nearly killed by a man in the apartments, and narrowly made it out thanks to a CCA unit. After that, he was determined to get rid of the filthy 'freedom fighters' in the city and bring justice to those who would cause dis-rest and trouble. If he had to become one of those who helped to bring about the apocalypse to do it, then so be it. He is prepared to follow the laws of the Combine with vigor and zeal, and end the hellish chaos. And maybe, if he can, do a little war relief along the way. The Combine, he believes, may be able to have peace with the humans, if only the humans cooperate with them. Maybe... just maybe. 2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy) Loyal,responsible,obeying,helpful,cold mind,kind heard,quick learner. 3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character. For John I expect the CCA to be a test of mental, physical and moral resilience. It'll be a new experience for him, working to keep the well oiled machine maintained instead of living under it an only receiving the benefits. He'll try not not make any mistakes, but he probably will. It'll be in his best interests to copy what other units do. Personally, I expect the CCA to be an entirely new aspect of roleplay for myself, not having actually roleplayed a Civil Protection Unit yet. Even though I am inexperienced in the matter I am willing to learn quickly and give it my all. I'll also try to add more depth to both the server and the faction itself. Also, I think it will be interesting cutting off my previous relations. 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. John Burke was born in Chicago, Illinois to a family of First Generation Norwegian Immigrants. Before his birth his mother and father were able to achieve a stable living by doing various odd jobs until his father finished Law School, eventually becoming an affluent lawyer and projecting the family into wealth. As a child and teenager, John was spoiled, his father gave him anything and everything he could ever want. John was well educated, instead of being sent to a public school like his peers he was private schooled and his relationship with his family was average, fighting with them here and there but keeping the home civil and unbroken. Throughout school, John built his life around order. He lived under his schedule and shut out anything that wasn't part of his reclusive lifestyle. He was a second-degree black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do, and a first degree black belt in Han-Mu-Do. He was proud of his strength and fitness, and he, without fail, worked out every day. He had gone through high-school and gone on church mission trips, and loved helping people. He finished his schooling and eventually began working as a clerk at a local Post Office. His life was peaceful and organized, even though John didn't have many friends he was happy doing his job for the "greater good". This would all change with the sudden appearance of the portal storms. Once the portal storms hit, John's lifestyle changed dramatically, he began wandering from place to place inside of the now walled off population center of Chicago. He socialized with others, searching for his place in life and praying for the order that was nowhere to be found in this nearly-apocalyptic society. Then... along came an answer to his prayers, The Universal Union came down upon Earth, unleashing their power and crushing our entire military within a time-span of Seven Hours, which soon became known as the "Seven-Hour War". After this cataclysmic event, cities began popping up and citizens began getting transferred to different cities with numbers instead of names. Burke ended up in City 45 and it was almost as if his prayers were answered, Cities now had what he most longed for: Order, Peace and Civility. Civilization was practically the same as it was before the war aside from a few key differences: Elderly and Children were killed off, leaving only those that could work, A suppression field was put up, preventing pregnancy in women, rations lines became one of the few ways to obtain meals and Civil Protection was instated. At first to John, Civil Protection looked like pitting humans against humans in a hole and seeing which one would last longer, but after a while he began seeing it as a society erected by the Union to keep order in the cities. They were given better meals, better clothing and better housing. They had power, comfort and they controlled the "Machine" that society was currently described as. Every single one of these factors appealed to Burke, he wanted to be a symbol of Order, a human being working for the greater good of the Universal Union and by joining the Combine Civil Authority he could do just that. After achieving Loyalist status he made his choice and wrote wrote up his application, sending it in shortly after, now he waits for the response, waiting on the edge of his seat in anticipation, waiting for his story to continue. 5) Have you ever had a CCA character here at Catalyst Gaming? If so, explain why it was removed. No. OOC Details 1. How long have you played on role-playing servers in general? 2 and a half years. 2. How long have you played on serious servers? 2 years. 3. How long have you played on Catalyst Gaming? About 2 months. 4. What Time zone are you in? GMT +2 5. In what country do you live? Lithuania 6. How old are you? 16 7. What�s your most memorable quality RP experience? Started a charity group on a HL2RP server. It become something huge and started give ordinary people food, water and tokens. The CP's got pissed off because of this and arrested everybody from my group. It was interesting because normal citizens defended us. 8. Do you consider yourself a good listener?

Civil Authority Applications / Re: Kuro Akai's Civil Authority Application« on: February 07, 2012, 07:31:57 AM »UNIT: 031 I'm pretty sure the HL canon doesn't say whether or not the combine have an aging device and I know my HL/HL2 canon.If Gordon Freeman can get frozen in time and space by G-Man(A human,no less) then I'm pretty sure the combine can have an aging device that uses the life of another.If your question is why they would use it on a human in the first place,I have stated in the application that it is a prototype and they were just doing it to test it.Maybe it was considered a failure and was never used again?Maybe not.All I'm trying to say is we don't know that part of the HL/HL2 canon and I have used that to make my character.I didn't rush him and thought it thoroughly.Hell,I even waited 3 weeks before re-applying so I could think about it more.So please,reconsider. 7

Kuro Akai's Civil Authority Application
OOC Name: sarge60,Ҳ-๖ۣۜҚill.|Zero X(my current steam nickname) IC Character Name: Kuro Akai 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. Kuro Akai originally wanted to join the Combine Civil Authority for only one purpose:revenge.However,he longs for a better life more than anything.Even though his friends and family died because of them,he can't help but want something better.Not only for himself,but for other people as well.He seen how cruel the combine can be.But he has also seen that they are not all bad.True,most of them are indifferent to humans,but there are some who recall their roots and wish to better the lives of ordinary citizens.Kuro wants to become that kind of officer. He was born under incredibly difficult circumstances.The day of the Black Mesa incident,when the suppression fields were not up yet,his mother birthed him into a very loving family.Even though the joy did not last very long,it was there,for a time.All he can remember about those first moments were his mother and father dying to protect him from the combine.And the rage.The rage of the combine,the father and the mother.They were killed right in front of him and yet he still longs for something better now,even more than revenge. However there's one thing that truly inspired him to become a combine.One late afternoon a thief stole some CWU branded lemonade from a woman.One of the combine saw it and chased after the man.The man ran with all his strength and tried to escape by running into D6.He ran up the drained sewer canal and tried to jump on one of the shipping containers.However,he slipped and was falling head first onto the ground.But the combine caught him by the leg and pulled him up.A CCA officer actually saved the life of a citizen.The man not only became a loyalist afterwards,he was one of the most upstanding citizens.Wanting to inspire somebody like that,Kuro wants to put revenge behind him,he really does. 2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy) -Resolute -Never gives up -Very Lawful -If you earn his trust,he can and will give his life to you -Helpful -Very respectful -Knows not to get over his head -Keeps his heart full of passion and his mind icy cold -Protects that which he believes in -Logical -Practical 3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character. Well for me,I feel like this would help expand my role-playing opportunities quite a bit.Being a citizen was only step one to develop my RP better even though I have been RP'ing for quite a long time(3 years) As for my character: He expects the CCA to be strict,harsh and frightening.He thinks that making a mistake could be fatal to his position or even his life.That's why he would always be respectful to his superiors,lest he get punished.The road will be long and tough but he always knows his limits.He knows that he will need to learn a lot,observe his superiors.Truly,he would much more power than the common citizen and could strike pure fear into their already crumpled up hearts.And while he could rule the citizens with fear,that does not mean fear does would rule him,as well. His superiors know that well.They know that he should always be polite,orderly and fearful of his superiors.Always obey orders.Never question the higher-ups.After all,hes just a guy in a suit right now.Who knows what might happen to him now that he finally has this job? 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. On the day of the Black Mesa incident,Kuro Akai was born in an apartment building,floor 7 room 67.As the Xen and the combine began ravaging Earth,it's cities and it's inhabitants,Kuro was laying in his mothers arms,being breast fed.At that moment in time,for Kuro's parents it seemed like all their troubles are gone once they look into their newborns eyes.They were having the time of their lives just being with each other and the baby.For them,it seemed like they finally had something that they can dedicate every ounce of their being to - their baby. An hour later the attack finally reached their city.They suddenly heard screams,gunshots and an explosion.Kuro started to cry.The father went out to see what's going on just to be immediately pushed back in.He never saw anything like them - black uniforms and a ghost white mask.It was the combine.They seemed incredibly alien to him. The combine punched him in the gut and he fell to the ground - all the while Kuro and the mother are screaming and crying.He proceeded to shoot the father in the head.A feeling of massive denial fell over her.One of the combine ripped Kuro out of her arms and the other started mercilessly beating her.She started screaming: -Please,you can kill me just don't hurt my baby! - In truth,the combine were annoyed most by the baby and it's painful crying. -So,you are willing to sacrifice your life for his own - a tiny,bleak and worthless existence? - The combine asked jokingly. -Yes,yes!Just please,don't kill him! - The mother screamed. -Alright - he said. -Hey,how about we use that thing he gave us? - The second combine asked. -But it's the only one of it's kind!What if it breaks?- The combine replied. -Stop worrying so much and just use the damn thing - The second combine replied angrily . As the combine reached near the woman,he pulled out a green tube of some kind.There was a needle pointing of both ends.He pierced the mothers heart with it.The green color started changing into red.After the tube had fully turned red,he turned to the baby and stabbed him in the chest.The tube started draining and glowed a very intense red light.Kuro started to age rapidly.In less than two minutes,he was 19.Faced with incredible pain and only having bare animal instincts,he attacked one of the combine.And with temporary superhuman strength from both the tube and the adrenaline,he tore one of their throats out right through the armor.He started punching and kicking the shit out of the second combine.He felt his ribs breaking and piercing both his lungs,heart and even penetrating out of the armor.Kuro rushed out of the apartments and ran according to his instincts. Five hours have passed and he ended up outside the city near a waste disposal facility,somehow avoiding all those Xen and Combine.Tired,hungry and finally overcome by fear,he decided to sleep inside an abandoned shed.Twenty-four hours passed and Kuro woke up from a deep sleep.As he ventured outside,he saw a human with a gun.It was a refugee.Instantly,his head filled with the memory of him killing the combine and he attempted to attack the female refugee.However,once their eyes met Kuro turned to stone,stopped naked in his tracks and stared crying.He didn't know why,but his heart felt like it was about to explode.The female approached him and asked what his name was.He didn't know what to do because he couldn't reply,so he just started hugging her as strong as he could.She assumed Kuro had a total mental breakdown because of the attack and vowed to keep him alive and help him. A month had passed and Kuro learned basic English from her.She asked him,what would he like his name to be.He thought about it and not really knowing how names work replied : -Black,red - Kuro asked. -Black and red?" - She replied. -Well then,your name will be Kuro Akai. -Kuro......Akai?- He replied confused,never hearing the words before and somehow deciding they don't fit in with what she was teaching him. -It means black and red in another language - The refugee woman replied proudly. Two years have passed and Kuro has since decided to leave the waste disposal plant.The female died a month ago and it started getting dangerous.He approached the city because she instructed him to.As soon as he saw the Combine again,his head became blank and fear filled his heart.As he approached the city gates,the guards told him to ''apply'',whatever that is.He told them his name and now he's in the city.Distraught,scared and angry at the female.''Why did she send me here,of all places?!'' Then he realized - revenge.Knowing he couldn't do anything without the proper tools,Kuro has since been trying to get into the combines ranks to get some proper equipment.But he feels that a better life is more important than anything.He noticed that even though the combine hurt people,they can also improve their lives greatly.He wanted to do that.He wanted to keep peace and give them a better life.Who knows if he'll try to carry out revenge or succumb to a better life for himself and for others? 5) Have you ever had a CCA character here at Catalyst Gaming? If so, explain why it was removed. No OOC Details 1. How long have you played on role-playing servers in general? 3 years 2. How long have you played on serious servers? Two and a half years. 3.

What�s your most memorable quality RP experience? My most memorable one?Well,there have been quite a few but I must say that it was probably on a HL2RP server.I had some connections and was supplying guns to a certain group.Little did I know the group would overthrow the servers CP's after a week of intense fighting.Truly,the atmosphere was pure anarchy and yet there was a leader who could manage the anarchy.I felt as if the combine were truly put down for good as they were now being held in the very cells they used on us.And yet they managed to escape,get their gear back and continue fighting.That last battle was truly the most epic RP'ing I have ever seen in 3 years. 8.

General Discussion / SKYRIM AND ELDER SCROLLS FANS READ THIS,POSSIBLE INFO ABOUT NEW DLC.« on: January 07, 2012, 08:47:23 AM »
You know those jars with bugs in them with symbols inside the jar?Guess what,some guys translated them and found out ALL this:
An up front TL;DR version(please read the full version if you want to feel the full extent of the epicness): First,what the symbols mean: The runes on the bee one translate to GIANT/THOR-HAIL-NEED The runes on the butterfly one translate to JOY-ICE-SORROW The runes on the dragonfly one translate to NEED-HORSE-LAKE. The runes on the moth one translate to DAY-NEED. The runes on the torchbug one translate to YEW TREE-HORSE-HAIL-NEED. Some guy figured out that the Thalmor are trying to erase mankind from existence, and the things that are stopping them are the eight towers: Crystal Tower Red Tower Tree-sap Orchalc Khajiit All of which have been destroyed or deactivated. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT TWO: Brass Tower (cast out of Time, doing something weird, but then it breaks time every time you turn it on, so that's understandable) - This relates to [The Ancient Nords using the elder scroll to banish Alduin from the realm of men, it essentially fractured time and simply delaying Alduin's return] and NUMIDIUM the "brass god" which in turn, relates to the mysterious disappearance of the Dwemer. My best guess to explain both the disappearance of the tower AND the Dwemer, is that they attempted to activate it in order to gain control over Numidium, but got banished from Mundus - Alduin style. This implies the Dwemer might come back. Snow Throat - Throat of the world - STILL ACTIVE and protected by Parrthurnax/High Hrothgar and the greybeards. Each of these towers have stones which bind them to Nirn, and the theorist concluded that the Weynon Stones bound Snow Throat. This is why the Thalmor have been waging war on Skyrim; so they can destroy Snow Throat or the Weynon Stones, either way destroying the last tower and wiping mankind from existence. So,the new DLC will be about us fighting the Thalmor and protecting Nirn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The full version: The Thalmor, the body of Altmer who direct the Aldmeri Dominion, are the "man behind the man" of Skyrim, the "Big Bad" that manipulates events from behind the scenes. The rightful king and queen of the Summerset Isles? Murdered by the Thalmor. Ulfric Stormcloak, the "rebel" who wants freedom from the Empire and to ascend to the throne of Skyrim (granted, he used the Voice to stun the king of Skyrim and then killed him, which is technically murder and regicide)? He was a Thalmor agent. The Thalmor, led by the Altmer, are playing the Empire against the Stormcloaks, because if they can weaken both of them enough before the Empire can pull itself together to oppose them (potentially spawning a Shezzarine - see below), then they can sweep through and conquer both, and then complete their ultimate plan, as follows (laid out by the Altmer): "To kill Man is to reach Heaven, from where we came before the Doom Drum's iniquity. When we accomplish this, we can escape the mockery and long shame of the Material Prison. To achieve this goal, we must: 1) Erase the Upstart Talos from the mythic. His presence fortifies the Wheel of the Convention, and binds our souls to this plane. 2) Remove Man not just from the world, but from the Pattern of Possibility, so that the very idea of them can be forgotten and thereby never again repeated. 3) With Talos and the Sons of Talos removed, the Dragon will become ours to unbind. The world of mortals will be over. The Dragon will uncoil his hold on the stagnancy of linear time and move as Free Serpent again, moving through the Aether without measure or burden, spilling time along the innumerable roads we once travelled. And with that we will regain the mantle of the imperishable spirit." To translate this: 1) The Thalmor are attempting to completely ban Talos worship. Tiber Septim mantled Lorkhan and melded with the Underking/Ysmir and Zurin Arctus into the new Lorkhan, being Talos. He is the +1 Divine, not a part of the original Eight Aedra who became the Earth Bones, but instead fills the void left by Lorkhan/Shor/Shezzar. Remember, the original Lorkhan is dead. His body or "flesh-divinity" was sundered into two halves (the moons Masser and Secunda - yes, those two moons are literally the corpse of a zombie god; fun fact, the sun and stars are holes poked in Mundus from Aetherius), and his Heart was thrown to rest within Red Mountain (also Red Tower, the Heart of Lorkhan being the Stone that is key to the Tower). Talos is effectively the greatest enemy of the Altmer/Thalmor. To the Altmeri, Lorkhan/Shor/Shezzar is not the beneficent creator deity that Man and Beast races attribute to him, but the reason that they lost their link to the divine, becoming trapped within the Mundus and bound to the cycle of the Dreamsleeve and the Earth Bones. Talos' presence within divinity as the +1 of the Eight is as close as has been gotten to a resurrection of Lorkhan. The only one who would be closer is the Champion of Cyrodiil. The Champion Mantled* both Sheogorath and the Divine Crusader. Sheogorath (the Sithis-shaped hole in the Mundus that Jyggalag fell into) is representative of Lorkhan's sundered divine spark (his Heart, in other words). The Divine Crusader is representative of his physical incarnation as the Champion of Man and a subsoul of Sithis (remember, Lorkhan is the benevolent creator deity to Man, because he is the reason they exist). So in essence, the Champion represents the two sundered halves of Lorkhan, making him the closest being yet seen to a full resurrection of the Doom Drum. Now, stopping all worship of him probably wouldn't affect Talos all that much, since Tiber-Septim-As-Talos (after Mantling Lorkhan and melding with Zurin Arctus and Ysmir/the Underking in his apotheosis to full godhood) was able to achieve that state known as CHIM. But CHIM has a lot of funny notions associated with it, so it's likely that he wouldn't bother trying to stop them. All they might do is prevent him from incarnating (maybe). Possessing CHIM, he now exists above and beyond the confines of the Mundus and indeed beyond the Godhead that dreams the entire TES setting. But erasing him or minimising his influence is still a nice start. 2) As an extension of this there is the Shezzarine. A Shezzarine is a mortal Champion of Man, and is representative of Lorkhan. The Shezzarine can be the result of a Mantling of Lorkhan or perhaps as an Incarnation (following the cobblestones of drawn-bone destiny), but is a Champion of Man nonetheless, regardless of what their race might actually be. Whenever a Shezzarine shows up, the Altmer absolutely hate it, because it is representative of what binds them to the Mundus. If Man can be erased from reality (literally - they want to erase Man from reality itself) then the Shezzarine will not appear, for the Shezzarine is a Champion of Man. No Man means there is nobody to be the Champion of, or so some of their reasoning goes. 3) The last and ultimate goal, to unbind the Dragon. The Dragon is Akatosh/Alduin/Auri-El, the soul of Anui-El, that aspect of Anu which exists in opposite to Padomay. For this one, you need to understand that in the competition between Akatosh/Alduin/Auri-El and Lorkhan/Shezzar/Shor, the result became that the Ur-Tower, Ada-Mantia, the Adamantium Tower, was the first unassailable spike of reality that was the Mundus, the Stone of the Tower being the Moment of Creation. Akatosh/Alduin/Auri-El became this spike of reality, and became Nirn. Also realise that Akatosh/Alduin/Auri-El is Time, creating the flow, and Lorkhan provides the Padomaic force that stabilises it, directs it. In following him, many other spirits were also bound, among them the Mer (including Altmer, Chimer-later-Dunmer, and so on). The existence of the Ur-Tower, Ada-Mantia, also means that this is a stabilising effect on space-time. A number of later Towers were also assembled. They are Crystal-Like-Law (on Summerset Isle), Red Tower (Red Mountain on Vvardenfell), Tree-Sap (moves around in Valenwood), Orchalc, White-Gold (in Cyrodiil), Brass Tower (Numidium, Walks-Like-Brass, Big Stompy Robot), Khajit, and Snow-Throat (in Skyrim). As of TESV, Crystal-Like-Law has been destroyed (Oblivion Crisis), Red Tower is deactivated (the Stone - the Heart of Lorkhan - has been freed per the events of Morrowind), Tree-Sap is potentially deactivated or at least not walking around (the Bosmer are influenced by the Thalmor, and they'd want to deactivate it if possible), Orchalc is destroyed (back with Yokuda), White-Gold is deactivated (the Amulet of Kings served as the key, and it is no longer active), Brass Tower (cast out of Time, doing something weird, but then it breaks time every time you turn it on, so that's understandable), Khajit Tower probably shut down (the Khajit are vassals of the Thalmor, and if they are indeed the Stone of their own Tower as per the Lunar Lattice then their Tower is also deactivated), and Snow-Throat (still active). Each of these Towers, like the Ur-Tower, serve to stabilise the bubble of Mundus and keep it from dissolving. You can think of them as literally the pillars that hold up reality. By the time of Skyrim, there are potentially as few as one (maybe two counting Brass Tower) of these Towers still active. That's why the Thalmor/Altmer are so interested in Skyrim, and in damaging the Empire's attempts to keep it peaceful. If they can break it, or break the Stone that binds Snow-Throat Tower, then they can bring down what is effectively the last pillar. Then, they will be free to fully unbind the Dragon. Mundus will dissolve, everything within it will cease to exist. Except for the Altmer and other "divine spirits" who were originally bound with the binding of Lorkhan. They will be freed, resuming the connection to the divine that they possessed before Time. The price is only the utter erasure of every other living thing (body and soul), and the obliteration of the material plane itself. This little "translation" turned out in a full-out lore-vestigation which was extremely interesting, and not yet done. My guess is that there's nothing (content wise) about those runes, but will be a critical part of future DLC. On DLC - the WHITE-GOLD tower is part of the imperial city, and it's been rendered in the game. Which simply adds to this whole "mess". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmzXJn5Wxsg TL;DR (again): Basically, epic adventures to defend Nirn against evil Thalmor to come in DLC.
