IC Character Name:Alexander Kim(technical name Alex Kim)

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.

Alexander Kim lived in City 45 for most of his time under the Combine's rule. Where most people feared and loathed the Combine, Alexander appreciated them. But, he didn't know much better, since he grew up in an abusive family which lead to some mental issues that he really only kept to himself. His emotions were kept bottled up for years, which led to him murdering two men at the age of nineteen because they gave him dirty looks. Alexander thought that the Combine were doing a good thing by killing those who did "wrong"(or at least what he saw as wrong) and putting others in their place. Looking up to them so much, when Civil Protection came around, he found out that they were actually citizens working for the Combine, and has wanted to be a part of it since.
 Alexander made attempts to joing in City 45, but was relocated to City 18 for unknown reasons. Upon arrival, Alexander found it difficult making his place in the new society. Most of the people he talked to were against the Combine and put him down every time he talked about wanting to join them. This mostly led to him ceasing conversation with other citizens. A day or so after living in City 18, Alexander found that he could work for the Combine without having to try to apply. This work was mostly him cleaning for them, but he still considered it loyal work. He spent all his time asking Civil Protection for work, and sucking up best he could to get his Loyalist Armband, even when he was just annoying the CPs. Eventually, though, he realized that this wasn't enough, and he wanted more than just working for them. He wanted to join them.
 Authority over the citizens was what he really wanted. He also wanted the honor of being considered as part of the Combine. It's all he could ever think about, and then he finally decided he would sign up and attempt to join. Alexander is extremely loyal to the Combine, and has never once gone against them. He has killed before, so he is not scared to kill an unruly citizen if needed. He also believes that no matter what the task, he'll do what the Combine would ask him to do. But most importantly, Alexander believes that by becoming part of Civil Protection, it will make him a better person, physically, emotionally, and mentally, as well as give him a better life in the new world.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)

Loyal, dedicated, trustworthy, generous, persistent


3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?

I expect that I will do very well as a Civil Authority Officer, I understand that it is a big responsibility to watch citizens and do my duties as a CCA Officer. During most of my time in Cataclysm Gaming HL2 roleplays, I've always looked up to the Combine, and have wanted to be a part of it. It'll be good for me because I really believe I can handle the responsibility and authority, and I will try hard in my work. Mainly, I will not let people get away with doing illegal things, like carrying contraband, causing problems to other citizens, and the like. But definately, I wont hesitate to shoot a minge. On the other hand, I'll help other people out as best as I can when they need it, and I'll try to answer questions when asked. I believe that's mostly what being a CCA Officer is all about.

As for Alexander, he believes it will make him a better person overall. The training will make him stronger and he will be regularly fed, so it will make him better physically. Being in the ranks of the Combine, he will feel great honor and pride, thus making him better emotionally. Having the authority over citizens, and being able to take down anti-citizens and unlawful people, will make him better mentally. Overall, becoming a CCA Officer will improve Alexander most definately, and he will try the best to tackle the responsibility of being a CCA Officer. Overall, he will try his hardest in his work, be very loyal to officers of higher rank, and carry out orders as he's told.

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.
Alexander was born by parents not ready for a child. Most of his childhood years, his family starved him, beat him, and yelled at him for really no reason at all. During school, he kept to himself and never talked to any other kids, never telling anyone about his life at home. By the time Alexander was a teenager, he had no friends and many emotions bottled up. He ended up dropping out of high school, and running away from home. Alexander didn't ever think that there were good people in the world, and mostly saw everyone else as evil and hurtful like his parents. Since Alexander dropped out of high school, and had no friends to live with, he had no job and no place to stay, so he spent majority of his years squatting in old houses or living on the streets begging for money. He murdered two men later when he was nineteen. He was sitting on the curb of a sidewalk and two men across the street were staring at him for several minutes, glaring at him, making faces, and chuckling. Alexander tried to wait for them to leave, but they wouldnt. The anger grew to be too much, so he took an empty bottle, broke it, and killed the two men by lacerating their necks.
  He was now spending his life running from the law, up until the Seven Hour War began. When it was all over, he was one of the few survivors and was placed in City 45. Life was better than it ever was for him, as he had a steady job, fair income, a home, rations, and water, all because of the Combine. He loved the Combine for what they had given him, and how there was almost no crime because of them. He spent three years in City 45 appreciating everything he had, and appreciating the Combine. He had thought about joining Civil Protection but never really got around to it, due to a relocation. Many citizens living in City 45 were relocated due to population growth, though citizens were never informed of reasons. Alexander was boarded on a train to City 18 with a few others.
  City 18 was not as good as City 45, but it was still decent. He got his rations, he got water, and he had a place to stay. Fair enough. What he loathed about the city was that nobody appreciated the Combine's work. All they did was complain about how they treated the citizens and how they want more rations. Alexander wanted nothing to do with that, so he set out to show the CCA that he wasn't like the others, and that he appreciated the Combine. He did various tasks for CCA Officers as much as possible. Eventually, he realized he wanted to be in their uniform. He wanted the responsibility and authority he never had. He set out to become a Loyalist and gain respect from officers around the city. After working hard, he earned his armband and decided it was time to apply for Civil Protection duties.
