Carson FitzGibbon's Civil Authority ApplicationOOC Name: cfitz22
IC Character Name: Carson FitzGibbon
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. Carson FitzGibbon had always wanted to join the CCA after witnessing the death of his brother, Nikoli. He wants to help out and be a part of the good the Union does for the city. The big push that made him want to join up was the death of his brother though, nothing was more moving, more motivating than that. He began his training by trying to stay in shape. He lifted cinder blocks that were found lying around trash piles. He is as loyal as he can be to the CCA and respects every officer.
Even before the invasion he always wished to do good for the human race. Even after they wiped out most the population he still wanted to be with them, they would have survived if they just didn't fight back. They would of just, been left aside, there on Earth to live another day in a world where pollution was common and crime was thriving. He knew he was wise to make that decision to stay hidden. Now his life is leading up to this moment, the application that will most likely change his future in city 45. He will forever remember all the training he did, all his hard work to get to this point.
Carson has worked for a long time to get here. He has, like I have stated, trained his best with what he has, challenged himself physically and mentally by his hard work and determination to do his best and surpass even his highest expectations. His dedication, his sacrifice, and his determination have all led him to the one goal he really has, to reach his dream of being able to do good for everyone. Please make your choice wisely and to the best of your idea of what's right and best for us all. Thank you for your time and careful reading.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)Carson FitzGibbon is very trustworthy, he will take many tasks seriously and get them done. He is also quite strong; his ability to run fast also applies because of his strong calf muscles. (He walks on his tip-toes quite often.) But he cannot run as long as others could.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character. The Combine Civil Authority will be, at some times, brutal and challenging with obstacles to overcome. But sometimes the life as an officer will be slow and relaxed. When on patrol, it's always going to be relaxing and slow paced. Listening to the sounds of the city, the noise of the occasional train arrival. And the noise of quiet civilians talking amongst themselves. But at times of unrest, when people come out to fight with no reason.
The life will be fast paced. Every step you take could be your last. Everything you do takes part in deciding if you live to save the city, or die trying. Sometimes will be filled with frustration and agony. Getting angry at all the citizens who run and jump around while you cannot respond. The uncivil activities! All the unrest building your anger like the Citadel on the first weeks of the Combine arrival! Overall being in the CCA is a bumpy road to salvation.
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. Carson FitzGibbon was born in Fort Worth, Texas. He attended a poor Catholic School. Although the school did not look perfect, the academics were at high standards. He then moved on to Nolan High, and got a scholarship to M.I.T. He moved to Michigan to attend and left his family in Texas. At this time, his adopted older brother, Nikolia, was living in Russia.
At age 23 he flew to Moscow to visit his older brother, Nikolia. On his last day there, the Combine took over and he fled the area and got to a nearby bomb shelter built in the 1970's as a result of the Cold War. His retreat was a dangerous one because he had to cross through streets of raging fires and dead police officers and military personnel. He survived on simple canned beans for a few weeks, rationing his food and water. When he emerged, he found the city in ruins. He wandered for a while and then got his first glimpse of the partially built Citadel.
It was already huge, towering over the city like a skyscraper. He fled to a nearby apartment complex and stayed there living off another man's food. He stayed there for at least a month, maybe more. He left when the food was running low and he needed to restock. He soon found an abandon Wal-Mart where he stayed for about three months. Later one day he was met by a small group of men wearing torn up military uniforms and helmets.
They were holding pistols. One confronted him about how he was starting a resistance, how he was going to fight back. But Carson just ignored all the influence. They left after they had gathered some food from the store. Another month passed until he saw a man walking through the streets with an MP7. His armor was sleek and dark. He was obviously not one of those savage looking rebels. This was the first CCA officer.
He was at the rank of 01 because he was one of the first to come to his senses and join their new CCA program. Carson got out of the store and confronted him asking, “What’s going on?” and, “What’s happening?”He explained what had happened and how Wallace Breen surrendered humanity. He sounded rather proud of himself. After years of staying loyal, he finally began to understand what the real good of the Union was, how they saved us from so much evil. The officer led him to an apartment complex where he was to stay.
And he did stay, for about one year, watching as so many people began to live in it after getting orders from the new officers. He began to work for them, cleaning and helping out. Then, he witnessed a nightmare that even he could never dream of. He was going about his business, walking through the streets, when a group of men emerged from the alleyway, all armed with weapons. They fired upon the nearby officers. A hail of bullets hit the man about 4 feet away from him.
After the rebels were killed, he ran to the injured man. He recognized him as Nikolai. He died that day, he wasn't able to move at all, and he never got any help because of how severe his injuries were... He died in the CWU hospital. This set Carson on his path to the Union. Now, he wants to avenge his brother more than anything in the world.
