Johnathan Issac's Civil Authority ApplicationOOC Name: -ProG- RegiFire - LordFire
IC Character Name: Johnathan Issac
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.Johnathan Issac is a very divided individual. His wife was killed by the Combine during the Seven Hour War. Although Johnathan would hate them like everyone else, he has eaten the purple bags filled with the Universal Union's rations. These rations have caused him to forget why he hates the Universal union as well as foggy up the death of his wife. Because of the rations, Johnathan has lost all knowledge of his past hatred for the Universal Union.
Johnathan is swayed to joining the Universal Union's Combine Civil Authority for another reason as well, they saved his life. Johnathan was in the UCH when a man attempted to beat him unconscious for whatever reason. When Johnathan felt that all hope had been lost, a citizen had reported the actions and a CCA unit came to his rescue. The man was taken in for questioning and was never seen by Johnathan again. This made Johnathan feel a need to give back as he hates leaving favors unattended. A sense of gratitude to the UU was also planted in his heart after he was saved. To keep order, that is the job of a member of the Universal Union.
Another reason that Johnathan feels that joining the Universal Union is a necessity stems from the Seven Hour War and his rations. The Seven Hour War was the brink of the old civilization and the new order with the UU. Johnathan noticed that under the UU, the world was safer in his general area. The means for this security were completely ignored while Johnathan ate his rations, and so he only saw that the Combine Civil Authority creates security and unity among the human civilization. Johnathan admires the order the UU has created greatly. Crime has never been lower in his eyes.

Johnathan Issac is a remarkable fellow, based partially off me, with a few talents that he uses all the time. The first and foremost are his guidelines. Johnathan judges himself constantly, and this makes him be a critique of everything that he thinks of doing. Any and all actions which he performs go under constant criticisms, and so Johnathan thinks his actions through before committing them. Most of the time the most intellectual course of action is to notify a member of the CCA of crimes and other problems which arise in City 45 such as propaganda. Johnathan also believes that laws are set by governments to protect people and so they should not be broken, even if the Universal Union is the one pulling the strings.
Johnathan Issac is a man to get jobs done. When he is assigned a task he will see it through to the end, regardless of the consequences. Johnathan takes any job he is assigned seriously and holds himself accountable for it; this causing most of the work he does to be the best that Johnathan can muster. Although not the best, he will do what is asked to the end and this often pleases his surperiors when he worked through high school-where most of his work ethics were developed-and so Johnathan kept to what he does best. Being responsible.
Johnathan has never been one to openly order others; being a man in power makes him feel watched. When Johnathan is in charge, he feels that his actions carry serious consequences-good or bad-and that even a slight slip could cost him everything he has. Therefore Johnathan simply follows orders, when received, with little to no questioning. This was a work ethic he held while he worked through high school. When Johnathan is put on the spotlight to be a manager he performs his job well; making sure to do the job as efficiently as he can looking at the scene through his Mind's Eye.
There is no way to prove that someone is intelligent; intelligence as a trait is simply too generic. In this case, Johnathan is simply good at making connections. Connections with information to make assumptions. That is what Johnathan does, makes assumptions which are often correct based on the information given to him.
Johnathan is quite receptive. While in college, Johnathan was not much of a troubled student. He was able to quickly learn new skills and apply them to his life outside of the confines of college. His memory was also quite good, and so he was able to retain information he had gained from his experience in and out of school and other education.
Lastly, Johnathan is extremely stubborn. Although he will not admit it, he will often refuse to change his point of view on anything mentally. Instead, he will play his part and lie like a dog even if he doesn't believe what he's talking about. Just so long as what he says benefits himself, he'll say it.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.Every Half Life 2 roleplay server is different in many ways. Some differentiate in how much the canon is used as a guideline wheras others manage factions differently. Communities may have their own, "special," modified version of OpenAura. No matter how each community differs, it all boils down to one important thing: the players. Players cause the roleplay to occur and based what I've seen on the server I can make some unfinished conclusions on what I can expect the CCA to be like. It will be hard to get used to-as not every server is as strict with the CCA as yours-but my experience with Universal Union-based factions will aide me greatly. The roleplay will be passive mostly, developing my character while on patrols. Citizens will ask for aide as I become a high enough ranked unit to be of any use to them. Rebels and, "lolwebulz," will be persecuted against on a basis while In-Character-which is most of the time save when I'm away. When in potentially harmful situations, the roleplay can get more and more tense. All-in-all, I can describe the CCA to be a fun experience on Catalyst Gaming. The faction is quite hard to get into, since the applications are looked at so harshly, and no-doubt roleplays of upmost seriousness will be located within the faction.
My character, Johnathan Issac, doesn't know what to expect at all. The CCA for him is a new domain that he has never even begun to venture into. He believe that it will be a bit fun to converse with members of the CCA while in the force, but his shift will be autonomous in action. Johnathan would simply move like a robot on his patrol route, or so he thinks, because it appears to be accepted behavior from the surface. Johnathan feels like this is like college almost, except more stressful and a higher danger of being hurt. Adapting to the new environment will difficult since he knows nothing on CCA etiquiete currently, but he believe it will be rewarding and even fun. Johnathan is correct about the danger but it comes from both sides, not just from the rebel side. Johnathan doesn't quite realize that his days as a member of the CCA will be dull since he expects it to be punctuated with gunfights and other such events which involve Anti-Citizens-not that'd he tell anyone what he thought. All-in-all, Johnathan believes the CCA will be rewarding for him and quite a challenge to adapt to the new ways of the CCA.
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.Johnathan Issac; a man who has changed over these many years. Johnathan started out as a child with a dynamic dream, always changing. His father, Frederick Issac, was a man who set high hopes for his child. As Johnathan's father invested in the education held so dear in the Issac family, Johnathan himself found out his real aspiration: Engineering. Although Johnathan didn't know the first thing about fixing cars or repairing a pen, Johnathan learned about Computer Engineering. When he hit the teens, Johnathan would spend hours on a computer and a fat book labeled, "Beginner's Guide to Coding." As the child grew through college preparatory, the dream was cemented in place and his degree in Computer Engineering was seized.
Johnathan worked as a software developer, trying to sell his product. He borrowed money off his father to support himself while he waited for the opportunity to get his first sale. Now, Johnathan was never a gifted salesmen and would never be able to convince anyone into buying his product, but Johnathan didn't expect to find the love of his life to be an excelling saleslady. Julia was her name and through his time with her, Johnathan grew in love. After they were married, they opened up their business together. Julia managed the marketing end while Johnathan went on developing his software. Frederick continued to fund the business until it took off. Unfortunately, they never really got that far into their work.
As Johnathan headed home after a long day of work, he fished his keys out of his pockets and saw a blue flash of light. As Johnathan looked around the far off flash of light, he saw nothing. As he moved a bit closer, a second appeared. Then Johnathan saw what was happening. The blue light had destroyed everything from what he could see. There was a small indent, or for all he could see it might have been a crater, far off from the city he lived in. The second light moved a bit closer to the town and annihilated everything that it had touched. Blue light rippled forth and hit the town; it was as if an earthquake had struck. Mass panic grew and the people ran into their cars and drove away. The televisions in electronic's stores shone with a new alert, telling people to find shelter in a nearby stadium or public facility. Footage of strange Xen Creatures appeared and warned people of the dangers the humankind already knew about them.
Johnathan fled with his wife to the stadium and they waited. The portal storms went by and destroyed parts of the stadium to bits, many had died. Some were lucky and were able to keep away from the blue lights of death. The police were weak from the Xen Aliens and could not fight them forever. The worst had gone, or so they thought. The Combine came and in seven short hours the world was conquered. Johnathan was spared by a cruel fate, but his wife was murdered. He was relocated to City 45. Rations worked on his mind and soon he forgot why the Combine were so hated. His wife's death was foggy and he couldn't recall how she was killed. So began his path to realizing the Combine were amazing and that he wished to do Our I'M A MASSIVE FUCKING FAG HOYL SHIT hepl well.

6. Why do you want to join the Combine Civil Authority?The reason why I want to join the Combine Civil Authority, or CCA, is very simple. The CCA have been able to bring down crime rates to a low; citizens who resist are often killed or faced with harsh punishments which I believe are appropriate for acts of terrorism. The CCA have also saved my life once in an incident which involved a "rebel," or terrorist as I like to call them, who attempted to knock me out inside the Union Civil Housing, or UCH. An officer promptly showed up before I was able to be beaten with a citizen who reported the crime. The man was quickly detained and I never saw him again; my life most likely saved by a member of the CCA. By joining the CCA I feel as if I'm giving back to the people who undeniably saved my life; the Universal Union.
The Combine Civil Authority has been able to save so many citizens, I find it insane that others would ever try to overthrow them and post propaganda in the UCH.
Please sign the attached oath using only blue or black pen.
I, Johnathan Issac hereby swear my mind, body and soul to the Universal Union forever so long as I draw breath. I do so knowing that my actions will be held accountable to me and solely myself.

I hereby acknowledge the fact that as a Civil Protection Task-force Unit that I will be losing most, if not all, communication and or past relationship with anyone outside of the Universal Union's operational bounds.
