Willard Gant's Civil Authority ApplicationOOC Name: Aiser
IC Character Name: Willard Gant
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.Willard spends most of his time in the plaza, sitting on a little blue bench in front of the nexus. Every day he observes the in's and out's of the city, from the citizen behaviors, to the Civil Protection patrol and behavioral patterns. He makes the occasional idle banter with those that pass by, and frequently assists in keeping the plaza clean of dirt and grime. However, amidst all of the activity in the city, it is the tiniest of problems that he notices has arisen amongst the cities inhabitants.
Since he was a child Willard has been one to obediently follow the rules set by his Grandmother, who raised him like a son since the tragic death of his parents. Not wanting to disappoint her, he has listened to every order, direction, and restriction set by her wether it be a curfew, a set of chores to perform, or how to behave in front of others. This strict view of loyalty and obedience that had been instilled in him is what caused him to get in trouble amongst his peers. Often would he spend countless hours trying to fix all of the wrongdoing around him, from the disobedient behavior of those around him, to the petty crime that often happened in his neighboorhood. His high-standards often caused him to feel disappointment and shame as he failed to uphold the moral code of his grandmother, although this all changed upon the arrival of the combine.
Since the arrival of the combine, Willard has taken joy at the sight of a New World Order, one that promotes socio-stability, and a strict moral code of which everyone must abide by. However, he has been demoralized by the attrocious behavior of the citizens of City 45, horrified by the way they treat the very people who wish to reinforce their lives in a more positive manner. After witnessing countless times how disobedient his fellow citizens have been, and how ill-mannered they have been to their saviors, Willard had decided that he wanted to join the CCA in order to assist in the keeping of the peace of City 45. By joining the CCA, he believes he will be able to honor his grandmothers wishes while assisting the Union with its mission.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)Quiet - Willard will not speak out of his place, knowing when to shut his mouth.
Respectful - Respectful of superiors, and the rare citizen that can show sincere devotion to the union.
Determined - Willard will see that he performs his duty until he succeeds, or reaches an acceptable point for failure.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.Willard is expecting the path to becoming a full member of the CCA to be difficult. Willard has never been physically active and as a result is physically weak. He also has no prior experience with any formal operations, nor has he ever fired a weapon. The only person he has ever followed orders from was his grandmother, and although she was strict, he expects his superiors to be nothing like an elderly woman telling her grandchild what to do. He expects to die, fighting for a cause in which he believes in, one of righteousness and glory, as he serves to protect the city that he loves dearly. Willard is prepared to sacrifice everything, from the respect of the citizen’s around him, to his very humanity in order to honor the creed of which he lives by.
For myself, I expect to be constantly working on improving the city through my interactions with its inhabitants. I will be responsible for the preservation of the socio-stability, not necessarily its inhabitants. The role of a member of the CCA is not to be taken lightly, so I expect to concentrate for periods at a time on remaining completely serious and dedicated to the task at hand, regardless of wether or not it benefits my character or not, so long as his interactions can benefit those around him as they progress. I also expect a long and gruelling journey for myself as I interest with the rest of the CCA in order to develop my character.
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.Willard was born into this world to two loving parents, unfortunately, he never got to meet them. Shortly after his birth there was a mistake in which his parents had taken home the wrong child, and upon finding this out, they rushed back to the hospital, only to be killed in a horrific accident on the way back to the hospital. Willards only surviving relative was his grandmother on his fathers side, who hesitantly took him in, although she treated him like he was her own son. Willards biggest influence was his grandmother, who had raised him strictly, enforcing a rigid curfew, having Willard perform most of the chores around the house, and teaching him proper social behavior and how to respect others.
As a result, Willard was the quiet and reserved child in school, who helped out around the classroom and was considered the teachers pet. He had few friends, and was picked on often as a result of his small stature and reserved nature. He refused to fight back, remembering what his grandmother had always taught him, instead finding solace in the community service he performed after school. He was the recipient of many good samaritan awards, and was constantly being praised for his kind nature and general helpfulness.
When the portal storms began he did everything he could to ensure the safety of those around him but to no avail. After taking a walk to the edge of the city on one particular day, he noticed nothing out of the ordinary, but when he turned around and looked up, he saw the largest portal storm yet hovering right over his home. He rushed back to his house but by the time he reached it the storm had ended and nothing was left of his home. He could find no trace of his grandmother anywhere, and assuming her to be dead found the most memorable trace of her that he could, and held a small burial where he quietly mourned her death.
After he finished the small burial for his grandmother, he packed up whatever belongings of his that he could and began walking, unsure of his next destination. He left the city, following a small path on the countryside where he walked for what seemed like weeks. He finally came across what would soon be city 45 and rented a small apartment within the plaza district. He settled in after a few days, only to awake one morning to the noise of gunfire and ships in the air, and as he looked out of his window, what he saw he could not believe, a slew of combine ships dropping off troops in the city, which had quickly surrendered in order to preserve its inhabitants.
