IC Character Name: Rain Pentell
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.Rain wishes to join the Combine Civil Authority because he sees the CCA as the hero’s, the men and woman fighting the good fight, the true fight. He believes the real enemy is man himself, and that anyone fighting alongside the rebel side need to be dealt with, and the only way to do that is with action rather than words. Rain knows that to be in the CCA is to be under the command of another; Rain grew up working as an apprentice in a car repair shop, and grew up listening to command's and order's. Rain thinks of the CCA as the law and power that keeps the earth under control.
Rain wishes to become a CCA member because the rebels are the enemy; he often sees them fighting other citizens rather than the Combine, which is getting them nowhere. In his eyes if the rebels were to rebel, it should be against the Combine, not each other. Rain thinks of the Combine Civil Authority as confused children, and that harming them is like harming a young child. They are choosing what they think is right, and should not be attacked or mistreated by other civilian's for their choice.
Rain want's to join the CCA because as he grew up he always dreamed of being a Police officer. In Rains mind the CCA are just like police, except better in nearly every way. Rain believes the CCA to be the cure to man’s need for power money and sex. In all, Rain wishes to join the CCA to continue to mold and shape the future of man, thus resulting in a better world.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.I am expecting the CCA to be a learning curve for me, a new way to roleplay.

I am also expecting to have to do things slightly out of my comfort zone, such as beating someone, but like I mentioned, I will do so if told. I also expect to get yelled at by higher commands for making a mistake(s) and having to control my temper and not argue or yell back.
My character is expecting to help the betterment of the civilian's living in City 45 by clearing away rebel's. He is also expecting the CCA to be a tough and challenging job, but he is prepared to work to the best of his abilities to see to the approval of higher ranking unit's.
