IC Character Name: Jared Nelson
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.When Jared was first taken by the Combine and moved to the citie's, adjusting to his new life was hard. Right off the bat he saw people being mercilessly beaten, captured and brought in for questioning and torture, or killed right on the street. He was afraid, dazed, and the transition to his new life wasn't going well. So Jared decided to live in the slums of District 6, not knowing that life there was far more... hectic!
Jared had taken refuge sleeping in the alleys and streets of D6. Bumming scraps of food off generous people or eating out of the trash. Occasionally a group of OTA would swarm in to eliminate and capture possible Rebels and Jared would have to flee and hide, always fearing that his pitiful life would come to an end. Jared thought there was nothing left for him. All that he would do now was to be found dead in a ditch somewhere, and no one to care about him one bit! Jared was ready to lie over and die, until he heard a broadcast by the Civil Authority over the intercoms.
Jared listened into the Intercom explaining that citizens could join the Civil Authority. Citizens would be given better rations, better lifestyle, and in all just a better life! Jared couldn't miss this oppertunity, especially for the benifits it had. Jared also saw this as an oppertunity to make a difference in the world. To bestow justice in the city and serve something greater than himself. Jared possibly even thought that mabey, perhaps, he would even be remembered far after his death. Jared cleaned himself in one of the public showers, talked to the nearest CP, and started to fill out an application.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.I expect the Combine Civil Authority to be very hard and demanding at first. To learn a lot, and to try to roleplay to the situations given to me to the best of my abilities. After a while, I will start to understand and figure out the rules, abilities, and code of ethics that make a great Civil Protection Character. I expect this character to be a very fun, strict, and high role playing position of power and responsibility!
Jared expects the Civil Protection to be a position in which he can do something better for the world. He hopes for it to be a role where he can use his new power and influence to help others, and feel like he accomplished something. He knows he will be challenged at firs, with all the new information for recruits to learn, memorize, and perform, but after getting the hang of it, he knows he will become the right hand of the Union ready to fight and die for the Union.
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.Jared's childhood wasn't a great one to remember. He had a drunk, abussive, Father who left him when he was age 4, and a druggy Mother who overdosed when he was age 6. He lived with his Aunt and
Uncle for most of his childhood. Both his Aunt and Uncle had full time jobs and weren't home to care for Jared much. When Jared was age 16, he dropped out of Highschool and was kicked out of his home. His life was going down hill, and he decided to turn it around. He got a job at Target and rented a room with one of his Highschool buddies. Jared then decided on saving money to go to Colledge, to make something of himself.
By age 18, Jared had been working long and hard at his job and was promoted to manager. He was making a nice ammout of money and all the hard work he had put into his job had started to pay off. Jared decided it was time to enroll in Colledge. He had saved up a ton of money and signed up for buisness ethics and other classes that had to do with a buisness career. Jared's goal was to become a successful buisness man, own a company, and give his family a life he never had gotten before! So Jared begun to take Colledge courses, while keeping his job at Target. It was tough, but he was motivated and kept to it!
By age 23, Jared was about to graduate Colledge. He had grown very mature and was going to be offered to work for a company known as Caremark. He was going to be part of a major board of advertising for the company and in a high position of power. His salary was far more than Target could ever pay him in a year. He was soon going to be a very happy and wealthy man and able to raise a family, buy a nice house, and contribute to society. Everything was perfect! Until the Portal Storm hit!
Everything was normal at first. Jared was walking on the sidewalk when strtange portals started to appear out of nowhere! Ugly and vicious alien creatures poured out and started to cause chaos in all their wake. The world around Jared was instantly engulfed in terror as people were being mauled, eaten, and ripped to shreds. Jared ran for his life, and hid in a nearby basement with a small Mexican famliy. They spent for what seemed like an eternity in there. Eating stored canned food and trying desperatly to pass the time, but also to survive!
After many months of hiding, sounds of tracks and vehicals could be heard outside the basement. Jared was brave enough to go out and take a peak. The local military were searching around trying to fight the creatures and gather citizens to be taken to the center of the city where they said was safe. Jared and the family he was with got into a jeep and were delivered to the "Safe Zone". On the way, Jared saw that his hometown was no more than a smoking pile of ruins.
By age 28 Jared had been trying to live a normal life in the encased cities. helping around the city as much as he can. Untill word got out about Soldiers and cities being destroyed all over the planet by the millions in minutes. Super Soldier Aliens were exiting out of the Portals destroying all in their path. Jared heard about these attacks and thought of nothing more than to try and live. He had come to far to die now! As the Combine moved through his city and the center of the city wiping out all resistance, Jared and a handful of his friends ran and hid untill they were finally captured by the Combine.
Now at age 29 Jared lives in city 45. After hearing a broadcast by the Civil Authority, he decided to become a Civil Protection Officer and bring justice to the world.
