IC Character Name: Johnson L. Phillips

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.

Johnson L. Phillips murdered his father when he was only 13. His father would beat his mother constantly, abuse her, cause her to wake up to Black Eyes and Swallen Lips in the mirror every morning. John snapped, retreiving a butchers knife from the kitchen and approached him. He shouted at him for carrying a knife around the house, called him a mindless fuck, cursed at him, then the Neighbours saw the splatters of blood against the window. A lot of it.

He passed through court quickly, the judge came to no hesitation to sentence him to life in prision, starting in Juvinile Prision and then eventually transferring to a standard Prision once he was 18. John was devastated, he would never see his mother again, his family, his girlfriend, anyone. He walked out of the building in hand-cuffs with armed gaurds on both his flanks, News Reporters with Microphones asking questions, Camreas aimed at him and Microphones on Poles hanging above his head. He kept his head lowered as he walked in shame.

Time passed, shit happened. Come 2016, Present Day, John had a long think. He'd been thinking about this for a long while, a very long while, and had decided on it. He would redeem himself through the Combine Civil Authority, he would pay back his crimes by defending peace and attacking the common criminals of the street. Little does he know of the real CCA...

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)

- Deticated
- Killed before, thus he knows the feeling and won't hesitate.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?

OOC'ly

Having done roles in the Combine Civil Authority before, I don't expect it to be much newer, but I stil expect it to be just a challange as the last time around. The CCA requires detication and hard work to get somewhere, if anywhere, and all the work can and will eventually pay off. Hopefully I will experience new things this time arond.

IC'ly

My character expects it to be a challange, but a challange he must push through in order to redeem himself. He thinks that by serving for the CCA he will repay the debt for murder. He does expect a Challange, yes, but he's sure he can do it. Dead sure.

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.

I remember the cold nights with my fingers scratching at my ear-drums, I remember the yelling, the screaming… The blood…  It all piled on, and on, and on. The blood was my mothers, spilt by my douche-bag of a father. God help me, I’d do it all again if I had the chance. My mother would scream until the verge of consciousness then pant heavily, he was torturing her.

It started when I was only 5. It started very simple, a hard slap across the side of her face, and slowly worsened. I swear, he came up with a new tactic every year. Strangling, Water boarding, Punches and Kicks, by the time I was 11 he’d o it all to me simply to get to her. Like mother like son, we both shared abuse.

It sparked when I was 13, enough was enough. I remember my left eyelid twitching, the veins in my arm bulging to the surface as my fists clenched. Like nails against the Chalkboard I drew a Butchers Knife from the Knife sharpener, he clearly planned to use it later tonight as he had been sharpening it for hours. I turned slowly, as if for the effect, and walked towards my parents room.

My dad had just been coming back to retrieve the knife.
“What the fuck are you doing with that knife!?” he cursed. “You mindless fuck, pass it here, I’ll be punishing your mother for this outrag-“
“Stick it up your ass, dad.” I insulted, almost taunted.
“What the fuck did you say to me…!?” he asked, outraged.
“You heard me you fucker.” I answered. I glared at him and he glared at me.
“You bitch…!” He cursed, taking a step forward with his left foot as he bring his right hand to a fist and sent it soaring towards me-

-and I shot my right arm forward, the Butchers knife cut cleanly through his right testicle and out the other end. He roared in Agony, I saw my mother out the corner of my eye with her right hand over her mouth, an expression lighting up her face saying ‘Yes! Fight, please!’ I nodded towards her, hinting a slight smirk, then wiped it clean off my face as I continued to stab him numerous times in the Abdomen. He fell to his knees; blood trickled from his lips, only the palms of his hands stopped him from colliding with the ground.

I grabbed him by his hair with my left hand, he was kneeling before me. It was a guilty pleasure, but I held every moment close.
“Now, now, where are your manners… Anyone would think your abusing my mother…” I taunted. I kept a straight face. He refused to talk. “Apologise and I may let you live.” I ordered. He remained silent. I rested the tip of the blade against his neck, pushing slowly. He clenched his teeth, before shouting
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry for everything!”
“If you say sorry one-thousand times, I’ll forgive you.” I felt evil, but I was loving it. He burst into tears, shouting ‘I’m sorry’ as fast as he could at the top of his lungs. In the meantime, I stabbed the knife into the side of his head again and again and again until his screams were drenched in his death. Not long after the police arrived, sirens whirring, lights spinning. I was arrested straight away, being the one covered with blood and with a knife.

I was flown through court. Within a week I was sentenced to life in Jail. I secretly regretted it but I made out I didn’t care. It was all worth it in a sense; my mum wouldn’t have to deal with his shit anymore. I had life in prison, who fucking cares, I might as well have no regrets. 

Now, to my convenience, you’re the one being held by the neck over a cliffs edge and so happens to be a woman abuser. Just your fucking luck a bolt of lightning from the alien fucks hit the prison, eh? I made it clear to everyone that I get to woman bashers. I’m going to hold out on that.

He leant back, lunging at my stomach with his feet. I stumbled back from the blow as he scurried to the cliffs edge. I wiped my mouth with my forearm.
“Fisticups it is then.” I taunted, he aggressively stepped towards me and threw a punch exactly the same to my dads. The thing is I already knew the counter to this.

I brang my foot to his male reproductive organ swiftly, he grabbed them in agony. I took a step forward and drove my right fist clear to his gut multiple times, he grabbed onto my collar as he fell to his knees.
“I warned you.” I referred, bringing my right fist back.  Then we were both falling, something had propelled us off the cliffs edge.

I woke up on a beach, large machines with three legs and a tanned appearance patrolled the area like kings looking over their territory. I was being dragged by something, it made numerous mechanical whirrs, I made a slight peek at his three, blue and black legs. I knew shit had just hit the fan, and if I’m dreaming, I’m making a game on this.

IC Character Name:
Gary Denison.

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.
   Gary started off in City 18, angered at Doctor Breen, but forced to show respect for the Union. (Obviously, if he was disrespectful, they would blow his brains out.) Gary spent the first few years of his new life working at a Water Treatment Plant. For 3 long, dragged-out years, he stood at a terminal, changing the flow of the pressure valves. It was the same routine for Gary, wake up, eat a ration, go to work, eat a nightly ration, and sleep.

   His last day in City 18 was the most exciting, and dangerous, time of his life. An unknown man hacked into the Nexus's security, which shut down the power fields, letting exogens into the City. Many lives were lost that very day, and the remaining amount of citizens and Civil Protection members were transferred to different cities. Fortunately, Gary landed in City 45, which is where he currently strives to making a living today.

   Since then, Gary was the mid-point type of fellow, he became been neutral for the remaining amount of years. Gary needed more protection ever since the City 18 incident, nearly killing him. Gary decided to apply for the C.C.A., Gary doesn't want to be a mangled, messy corpse if City 45 has a related incident. Gary could also use a lot nicer food and beverages, he could use the strength after six years of practically starving to death, as well as the training with weaponry, close combat, and main patroling duties. Mainly medical training, after seeing the units and citizens die in the City 18 incident, who could have survived if they were medically assisted.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Cooperative
Kind
Useful
Wary
Honest


3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
   Gary knows the Civil Authority is as tough as hell, he knows most to all of the Commanding units are strict. As well as the tough training. (Even though they're mainly breach training.) Gary knows he will and will always have to dedicate his life to the Union, but once again, he has nothing to lose after an extremely tough past before the Seven Hour War, but that is currently out of the question.

   Gary has it in his head that Civil Protection are the protectors, not the terrible monsters. You might be asking Gary, "Gary, weren't you neutral?" Well, Gary is neutral because he still enjoys the help from resistance members, they offer him real beverages and food. He counts on both of them, but he never will become a resistance member, he's never a good liar, and he cannot defend himself if he is caught for questioning. Gary finds being a C.C.A. Unit a lot easier, and less likely to be caught, which is the exact reason why he chose the C.C.A..


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.

   Gary was born in 1985 in Fort Collins, Colorado. Gary was born with a loving father, Jason Denison, and his lovely mother, Lauren Denison. Gary's first few years of life consisted on toys. Gary was home-schooled durng his preschool years, his family was poor, and could only afford small toys for him. Jason Denison worked as a 7th Grade Math teacher, and his mother was a waitress at 'Joe's Crab Shack'.

   Sadly, during his kindergarten year, his mother died due to leukemia, which neither him, his father, or his mother were aware of. Fortunately, Gary took it fine, he knew his mother would tell him to move on, which is what he did. Unfortunately, Jason took it too hard, he started to become addicted to alcohol, which left Gary alone by himself.

   During Gary's first grade year, he found a terrible suprise. His father shot himself with a gun. Gary grew depressed and confused afterwards, he moved to an orphanage, and the children in his classes made fun of him for being an orphan. Fort Collins was a cruel place for Gary through his school years, Gary never made friends, and ones who wanted to be his friend were the ones who were the general nuisance of the grade. Gary grew non-social, usually stating the wrong things at the wrong time. Gary couldn't understand why such kids would insult him. He was a kind child, and he was very cooperative if he was assigned a partner, he was always honest, he was very useful. The children still tourmented him, harrassed him, broke every bone in his body, words did hurt, a lot.

   During 2004, the portal storms aroused. Gary was forced to move to an urban area, such as military-protected Denver, due to incredibly strange monster arriving in the rural areas. The first days of the portal storm involved major destruction. Bridges and buildings fell to the ground due to the major portal waves. Denver was still unsafe, the citizens were moved to a major World War Two bomb shelter during a portal wave. The portal waves could last months, continuous aftershocks is what led the city to rubble. The citizens set up camp in tents after the major destruction of Denver, Colorado. Gary spent 6 years in the same tent, being a socially-awkward civilian in the camp, still feeling unsafe even with the military standing guard at the borders of the city.

   The year was eventually 2010, the combine nation eventually travelled from Xen to Earth, they eventually made it to Denver in the 2nd hour, taking control over it. Three-Fourths of the campers were murdered in Denver, only a lucky hundred were moved to a hidden bomb shelter, as the combine nation murdered the outsiders. A few of the lucky survivers were transferred from or to City 35, which used to be the decayed city Gary lived in for 6 years. Gary was transferred to City 18, which begins his journey from after the Seven Hour war.

7. What’s your most memorable quality RP experience?
   Back in ShitRP, I was a sole resisting man nick-named "Stick", for being as thin as one. Stick traveled around the slums of City 18, resting upon the old Italian restaurant, which had a visitor inside. Dying for food, I enter inside, the man states he hid a knife behind a brick in the wall. Foolishly, I take his word and slide the brick out, since he needed the knife. And then, 'WHAM!'. Stick was smashed with a crowbar, and held hostage in a hidden room in the restaurant. Stick was freaking out to the max as he was tied to a bed frame, with a skeleton and a corpse in the same room with him. Fortunately, Stick was able to cut the rope free, and climb over the fence barrier the crazy kidnapper created. Stick had to leave a man behind who was later thrown in with him, the man was murdered, and Stick escaped the madhouse. It was a GREAT deal of fun.

IC Character Name:
Sesmo Iridmo

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.
During Sesmo's life, he believed that he never truly served a purpose in life, he thought he was meaningless, worthless, but after the combine took over Earth, Sesmo saw a light at the end of the dark tunnel, years of idleness could be relived, and Sesmo knew it. He was going to try and serve the Combine, in any way possible.
Less then a year after the Combine invaded, Sesmo had saw it as his duty to try and serve the Combine in a better way, but other people had not, Sesmo was an outcast in his pre-Universal life, and in his current life in City 45, he was pushed around, jeered at for being a "loyalist", but Sesmo looked down on them, one day, he would become a Civil Protection Unit.
Having a good, long look at the City was one of the things that stirred Sesmo into being a loyalist, he saw other citizens who were loyal to the Combine being bullied, as you may call it, by other citizens, he saw anti-civil activities being carried out, and Sesmo could do nothing to stop them. This is why Sesmo wants to be a Civil Protection Unit.
To make life better.
For everyone.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Sesmo is a lawful, forgiving person, who never breaks his promises.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
OOC'ly
I'm expecting being in the Combine Civil Authority to be quite hard, as there are many things such as radio codes (Terminology?), punishments (Verdicts?), contraband etc. I think it'll be quite fun, but I think some RP situations will be more enjoyable and immersive, but possibly even harder. One thing I'm hoping I'll never have to deal with are some dumb lolwebuls mingejumping about, but hopefully that will never happen, anyways, I think being a CCA Unit will be a lot more fun for me, and I'll (hopefully) get to take part in more roleplaying situations.

IC'ly
Sesmo saw it as a chance, like a dim light, in a pitch-black room, he had thought it out, knew it would be difficult, knew it might not happen, but it would be better. a lot better. It would be a tougher way of life in some ways, but a better way of life in other ways, he wouldn't have to deal with the people who nearly drove him to suicide, he may even try and help them, make them see the way the Combine really are, not killers, not murderers, but saviours of the world. Sesmo is willing to sacrifice all for the Combine, knowing that it will be hard, but he must serve his masters in anyway possible, finally accomplishing at least something in his life.
Possibly.


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.
Sesmo was born in the former Yugoslavia, or to be more specific, Kosovo. As a young child, Sesmo was
bullied and beaten by his father, a raging alcoholic, until he fled his home at the age of 13.
Around the age of 15, Sesmo was taken into an orphanage, meeting the first and possibly his best friend, Josip Patin. Life was fairly well for Sesmo for the next few years, he attented a local school in the weekdays and would mainly sit in his room and read books at weekends.
 A few years later, Sesmo was sitting in the main room in the orphanage, watching the breaking news on the television; Yugoslavia had broken into war. Later that month, an almost empty truck had driven to the village, taking young men to war, and killing any Croats in the village. Sesmo was terrified, not for himself, but for Josip, who was a Croat. When the men came to the orphanage, they started questioning people, inspecting young men to see if they could fight in the war, Sesmo was one of the many taken to the truck, sadly, his friend Josip was taken to another truck, this was the last time Sesmo would see him.
During the war, Sesmo yet again befriended some people, many of them boy soldiers such as himself. When the violence escalated, Sesmo could take no more of it, he had seen his friends blown apart, shot to death, killing themselves, all of this had torn Sesmo apart. One night, while in camp, Sesmo was awoken by explosions, and he had a horrible flashback, of his mother getting beat by his father, his friend Josip getting shot in the head, his father screaming at him as a child.
Sesmo had to get away from everything, or he would go insane.
And he knew it.
Sesmo crept out of the sleeping area, taking only a tin of army rations and a small knife, and ran as fast as he could into the forest, he had no idea of the time, didn't know where he was, until he stumbled out onto a road. The days past by slowly, as Sesmo ate scrapings of food from bins, the ground, begging for money, all of the time he trudged along the road, which soon turned into a highway after many, many miles.
Sesmo had been walking for days, weeks, trying to get away from his nightmares, and only when he came across a signpost, did he realise where he was.
"Czech-German border - 9 Kilometres"
Luckily, a passing truck picked up Sesmo, no idea where the driver was going, Sesmo soon fell into a sleep disturbed by horrible flashbacks.
At least a few days later, Sesmo woke up, got out the truck quickly and looked at this surroundings.
He had no idea where he was.
After hearing some people talking, he realised, after some thinking, he was in France.
Sesmo made a small living, running a garage, earning just enough money to go into a early retirement in his small cottage, where lived in privacy and isolation for many years.
Sesmo was sleeping in his bed, in his small house when he heard people screaming, he got up and looked out of his window, seeing people running down the streets, gunshots echoing across the village, Sesmo heard a loud noise of wood breaking, and he barely had enough time to turn around when everything started to fade away.The rumbling and shaking of the train woke Sesmo up, he sat up and looked around at the people in identical jumpsuits, rubbing his head, Sesmo couldn't remember a thing. The train slowly grinded to a halt, and Sesmo stood up like everyone else, and stepped onto the train platform where he was temporarily blinded by the light.
"Welcome to City Fourty-Five."

I filled out a questionaire with some guy in HL2RP, he was like a door-to-door (salesman?) guy, and he was asking stuff like, "Do you know if your neighbours are anti-citizens?" and "How long have you been living here?", "Do you know of anyone against the Combine"? etc, it was fun.

8. Do you consider yourself a good listener?
Yes.

IC Character Name: John Rane

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.
John Rane was the average Citizen. He never was put in Detainment, always obtained his rations on time. The people he hung out with, however. He would always switch roommates, he would lose up to two roommates a week. And have 3 new roommates a week.

This was due to City45 being an awful place filled with criminals so his roommates were always put in detainment.
Every time he would just be leaning against the wall, drinking a Breen's Water. When a thug just walked up to him, grabbed it from his hand, and ran off with it.

When John first switched Cities, this made him angry the first few times thugs stole objects from him. Then he just got used to it. He told Civil Protection a few times, of course they never found the thugs. John was starting to get sick of all the Crime, so he waited for the next application cycle, and applied for Combine Civil Authority.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
John Rane is somewhat nice, backs his friends up sometimes. He is Lawful and Trustworthy. He can use a gun good enough, though he has never held one. He is also very Intelegent and a very, very fast runner.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
If John Rane's application gets accepted, he can be a good Officer in the CCA force. He'll be good through training, and maybe be promoted a little early. Of course he'll just issue a few beatings a day. Ask for permission on almost everything over Radio. He'll follow orders, and do what ever it takes to make these Citizens Civil.
John will NOT go easy on his friends. He will treat them just like any other Citizen, mostly because no one is supposed to know it's him. That's why he'll be wearing full body armor, and a voice changer. John will NOT go crazy with power, he'll just be like any other good Civil Protection officer. He'll make it if he gets accepted.


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.
( Only 300 words? I think you're going too easy on the players, but okay. Mine is 791 if that's okay )

CHAPTER 1 - John's Child Hood

John was born on July 5th, 1992 in Florida, America. He was a happy infant, but of course he was crying the first couple seconds of birth. He learned how to talk at one year old, walk and talk perfect sentences at two years old. When he three, his mother and father sent him to school very early.

A few years later he was in second grade, his grades were so good he skipped a couple grades all the way up to fifth grade. He was getting good grades up to Ninth grade, when he started struggling. He just barely made it by and went to 10th grade. He was only 15 years old when he graduated school. He Graduated  with a Bachelor's Degree on an Online College when he was 19 years old.

CHAPTER 2 - Before the 7-Hour-War

John got a job as a Middle School math teacher at age 20 during the year 2011. He was pretty successful, he had a second job at a Factory that makes Metal Tools. He lived in a big enough house, two stories tall. He was married to a nice woman that same year, her name was Amanda.

John had plenty of friends to drink with on weekends, he went to parties if not every day, then every other day. He was pretty happy, he always kept touch with his friends and family. Him and his wife were thinking of having children, but they both agreed that they should wait a few more years.

CHAPTER 3 - The 7-Hour-War

During November of 2011, some reports on the news of some sort of hidden Research Facility in New Mexico had some sort of Resonance Cascade which caused aliens to invade earth. Most of these aliens were controlled by a slave ruler named Nihilanth. They mostly only attacked the Facility. A couple months later, the effects of the Resonance Cascade left some permanent damage. A Portal storm, it was small so Earth had nothing to worry about, though they were still keeping their eyes out.

One race of aliens from the alien planet were set free after a man destroyed the alien ruler on the alien planet. They were called, the Vortigaunts. John even had a friend who was a Vortigaunt. Some decided to stay on Earth and live peacefully like Humans. A week later the Portal storm grew larger, and people started to worry as it would send out electrical waves every few days, and it would destroy houses and kill people. John did not worry, as he lived far away from the portal storm.

A couple weeks after that weird UFOs starting coming out of the Portal storm, and sending out some sort of Tripods. The Tripods walked around the portal storm, the US military kept watch. The next day the Tripods stopped, and they started shooting at the Military and innocent civilians. More portal storms grew around the world as more Alien Ships and Tripods came out and attacked the World. This started the world at war with another planet.

Although no one els knew, but at the same time the same aliens were invading the old Planet named, Xen. Xen was the planet that invaded the Facility. Except this time, it was ruled by a different race, named the Combine.

John did his best to hide, but after the war was over they found him and took him. Along with his wife. John was seperated from his wife and put into the Cities that the Combine had taken over. He was put into a City called City 28, It was a good city. He didn't have any friends, he was too upset from being seperated from his wife.

CHAPTER 4 - After the 7-Hour-War

In the year 2015 John was sent to City 45. It was a bad city. Thugs, criminals, everything. He would always get objects taken from him. After awhile he tried his best to make friends, sense he was done being upset over his Wife. He was your average Citizen.

He always got his rations on time, except everytime he opened it, it was the same cycle. He opens his rations, takes out a Breen's Water, he gets beaten down and gets the Water Taken from him, the thief gets beaten down by a CCA unit, then the water is destroyed in the Process.

A year later was the same as before, Except John was not used to all the crime and thugs anymore. He wanted to enforce it without being detained. He applied for the Combine Civil Authority, so they he can beat Citizens when they disrespect him instead of beating them then getting detained. John was pretty sure he would make it, sense he was never detained or have gotten into any trouble.

Marcus Altonio always heard his parents screaming and shouting at eachother. He then one day, got enough of this bullshit and woke up in the middle of the night, sneaked upstairs and grabbed there wallet, he took a few bills of cash out, including there credit card. He then packed up all the things he needed from the house including contents such as, food, laptop, and a few other wanted goodies into a old schooling backpack and also strapped a travelling pack onto the back of his bike, ofcourse it was used for planes but still, he used it. He travelled to a city, stayed there and robbed shops and many other things. He wasnt spotted until he grew older and older, he felt bad but it was for survival.

 Few years have passed, Marcus is in his adult ages, he was turning rich from robbing people from each city to each city, it went on. The police couldn't even find him for years and still hes doing the same, how does he do this you ask? Well, he changes his clothing and starts to put on glasses to hide his eye color and lowers or highers his voice, including his emotions to hide the indentity of himself. He met a girl named Emily, he cut the bullshit, spended a few bucks to buy a new german shepherd puppy, they then kept the puppy until it grew older and older. Then one dream while sleeping near his wife Emily. Marcus went on the CN Tower, it fell down due to a unknown attack, Marcus was in it. He saw the tower topple down and hit many buildings, debris flew in many directions. He jumped out the window of the tower, as he flew like a plane, he was flying to the ground until....... Marcus gasped in fear, he woke up from this slight dream and thought "It was only a dream... It was only a dream..." He took a deep breathe and fell back to sleep, still thinking "What if this happens to the city?"

 A few days have passed, before the incident of the attack at night at his house, he fell a tragic heartbeat rise faster in his heart. He was transfered to a city. He was in City45, he met TONS of people, including some people who even brang him to the Ration Distribution Centre to eat, he ate all his rations and kept the tokens for later.

He sat in his apartment, crossing his fingers.

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.

 (Sorry for the LONG story, I just wanted to add details to it to make it a heartwarming story, hope I dont get denied for this D:)

Chapter 1: Early trouble in the early days.
 When Marcus was a kid, he'd been bullied by a guy in school, but then one day... His offical target named 'Kreig A.K.A Top Dog' was talking to a few girls by the lockers, he approached them with a agressive look. Kreig looked at him with a serious face and asked "Watcha' want you shit-4-brains?" Marcus, just stared at him and asked back slowly, "I don't want anything, maybe you'll want a taste of my fucking fist!" He then thrusted his fist againsts Kreigs face and then did a good uppercut to his belly. Jake fell to the ground with agony. Marcus then got ontop of him and started furiously punching his face until blood poured from Kreigs nose, he screamed "Stop it! Aaaggghhhh! Stop!" Marcus finally stopped, looking down at Kreig he then spitted in his face and before leaving, gave him a strong kick in the ribs. He walked off without looking back, people stared at him with fear as the bell rang.

Chapter 2: New life
 A few years have passed, he then got a vehicle and also met a girl named Emily and had a new German Shepherd named Sparky, who all lived in a big home. He then seen two gangsters beating up a man, he walked up to them and clenched his fist, he tapped his brown fedora and gestured his tie, finally looking at the two beating up the man, he grabbed the gangster by the shoulder and twisted him around, looking into his eyes he said "Eh, bastard. Ready to meet sharpie?" He took out a knife and shoved the knife into his hand, he screamed in pain. While screaming, the gangster tried preying the knife out of his hand, Marcus then kicked him in the stomach, he fell down onto the ground. Marcus twisted his body around and swinged a hard boot at the gangsters jaw, knocking him out furiously while Marcus's brown fedora fell off. Marcus, looking at the gangster running away, Marcus then yelled "Better run away!" He looked down at the man, it was his brother named Jake Altonio, he grabbed him by the hand and raised him up to his feet, he hesitated slowly. "I saved your life, brother." Jake Altonio, reply "Thanks, Marcus..." They both walked off, seeming to talk about what happened in there daily jobs.

Chapter 3: The attack
 The attack began at night, Marcus was woken by his wife Emily, while Sparky barked at the door, they ran outside the house and Marcus said "Holy shit...". Dropships dropped off Overwatch units while Civil Protections booted the doors houses. Chaos happened in the city. Marcus yelled "Get in the truck!" They both got on the truck including Sparky the German Shepherd. He fired up the ignition and slammed on the accelerator. A rocket flew infront of them and missed them, hitting there house as it made a path through the hallway. "Shit!" "Attempt administration!" "Get them!" yelled CPs and OTAs. They drove through the wrecked hallway, they crushed through the wall with debris hitting there windshield as it cracked the window, Emily was screaming "Marcus! Watch out!", his German Shepherd too was barking at it. Marcus, fighting with the wheel drove into the streets, crashing into a CP as it tumbled under the vehicle, as AR2s and MP-7s richochetted off the metal. Emily was hit in the shoulder and belly screaming "Ophm! Oooohhhhhh.... Marcus, I'm hit!" Marcus, yelling back "Its alright, Emily! We are almost out of here!" They both made it on the traffic and stopped at the gasstation, Emily was pale, she fell to the ground while Marcus looked at her. "Marcus... Take care of Sparky..." "I will, sweetheart...Like I did to you." Marcus brushed her hair with his hand while Emily smiled, then she choked up blood and died. Sparky whined and howled in the air. Marcus had tears pouring down his eyes. "Its alright, Sparky... Shes... Gone..." "Heh... Aint this a bitch... This only lasted 4 hours... wonder if its going to happen anymore..." He rised to his feet and made his way to the back, he saw a Spas-12 and cartridges, he grabbed it and loaded a few cartridges, pumped back the pump as a dead cartridge flinged to the ground. "If they want war... They'll have war..."
Jake came in too, carrying a Magnum 357 with Sparky to his side. "Your right, bro... Its war... and I know what happened to your wife..." Sparky barked happily, wagging his tail but then raised his ears to attention as CPs and OTAs yelled "Requesting further assistance..."

OPTIONAL READING - EXTRA - Chapter 4: The capture
 He woke up, travelling in the train. He looked out the window, lightning thundered and saw the flash of his wife Emily, waving at him from the window of a abandoned house, he then blinked his eyes, she was gone, nowhere seen in the window. He checked his suitcase and saw C45 apparel, he put in under his seat and slept. He dream't... "Brother, run!" Yelled Jake. He ran for it, splitting up from his brother, he saw his German Shepherd run away, fleeing. He was injured while running but then slipped on the ground in the dirty leaves, he dropped his Spas-12, exhausted, thinking "I ran... for a long time... I didn't get a fuckin' unit killed!" He checked his watch, the clock started ticking as it stopped on '12:30PM', it used to be '6:00pm'. Rain poured over him as he smelled blood trickle from his wounds, he went into a unconsious state, but then he heard his german shepherd Sparky barking, there was blackness everywhere  but then he woke up from his dream. The train halted to a stop, he left his suitcase in the train as he sat down, rubbing his eyes. "Where am I..." A girl with blonde hair grabbed him by the shoulder, "Your in City45, Sir... Wake up. You've been sleeping for 6 hours, you must be hungry... Lets go to the Ration Centre to eat..." She lended out a hand and smiled, Marcus grabbed her hand and was lifted to his feet by her support. A man was with her, he hesitated. "Shes right, lets go eat, shall we?" Marcus said "Did you see my brother Jake?" She replied "Yeah, he was somewhere in a restricted zone, but then I was transfered here in part of the City, he must be somewhere far from this part of the city..." Marcus breathed in relief and then looked out the window, and seen her wife far on the distance of the tracks. With a smile, she said to him that no one could hear but him. "You have a life ahead of you, Marcus... Use it wisely..." She disappeared into ashes.

One day tho he noticed some officers dealing with a citizen that was resisting, and he watched. He noticed that they were above the law, Powerful Like he always wanted to be. He decided that he would make his goals to join their ranks and learn their ways.

While Justin was going to college, he was pulled into alleys many times, beat up, and mugged of all his items. His Apartments broken into and ransacked, over and over, Instead of handling his own problems, he reported it to the Local CP to see if they could fix the problem. There was a stop in the Robbings for a few days, But the next day, he found a dead body in his room, The person was shot. He quickly called the Civil Protection, When they got their they detained Justin and took him in for questioning, but later on let him go finding nothing linking him to the crime. Justin had enough of this city and was thinking about moving to a new city with low crime rates.

Justin went ahead and Decided to move to get away from all the Crime and Corruption in his Previous city. He ended up in City 45, were he decided it was good enough to make his Start. He got a room in the nearest hotel to the Train Station and got a job at a Local Cafe to save up Tokens to keep his Room. For a few weeks he trained in his room, jogged around the square once a day just to get fit before he decided to join.

 OOC:

Im expecting being a part of the Civil Protection will be tough as in getting others to RP correctly with you. But mainly i think it sounds really fun to Roleplay as the "Law Enforcement" of the Half Life 2 World. Being in charge of the Citizens and making drastic decisions. I know it will be hard training, And learning the right ways of the Civil Protection, but I think the time will be worth it. I want rise in the ranks and become the best I can be, it will be very tough, but Like I said, this is all worth it.

IC:

Justin is expecting the training to become a Civil Protection Unit will be hard and tiring, but personally he thinks it will be a eye opener. He expects this Job will come with a great responsibility. he knows he cant pick favorites over his friends and go light on them. He thinks that joining the Civil Protection will make him who he wants to be, Powerful, and helpful at the same time. He wants to protect and serv his city, Even if it costs him his own life.

During their journey to find a new safe place they could call home, The travled for a week, coming across destroyed towns, and dead things they've never seen before, then they came across a large city, with people that looked happy and safe. But when Justin and the 2 others entered the city, it was one of their biggest mistakes ever, They couldn't leave, they were forced to eat food that tasted stale, The water was nasty and grey and smelt of disease. But since Justin and the 2 others couldn't leave, they rented a room in a hotel and started to home school Justin, teaching him everything they knew.

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.

My character would like to join the Combine Civil Authority because of his previous experience's with 'normal' life and the group of people who call themselves 'The resistance'. After the seven hour war he spent some time in a Combine camp for "higher than average IQ subjects" where he was taught to operate and fix all forms of combine technology, be it remote controlled scanners, consoles and various other pieces of machinery and equipment.

After spending roughly eleven months at this camp, he was being transferred to a combine outpost for 'technical duties' when a 'resistance' ambush destroyed the convoy he was travelling in and killed the armed escort. He was captured by the resistance and subjected to two weeks brutal and savage interrogation at the hands of these 'freedom fighters'. He was deprived of food, water and sleep; he didn't see the light of day for an entire fortnight. After fourteen days in captivity, he finally escaped when a combine strike team began an assault of the rebels hideout and a battle began. In the confusion and chaos, he slipped away into some nearby woods.

After an entire day of walking, he eventually reached the outskirts of a city where he managed to effect entry to after some sneaking around the city's edge. As he moved deeper into the city he learnt from various overheard conversations that this city was City 45. After spending some time there he decided to put his name down for the Combine Civil Authority; they were, in his opinion, treated better, received a higher standard of accommodation and food and he hated the resistance for what they had done to him. He wasn't going to stand for such barbarity.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
- Intelligent
- Law abiding
- Self sufficient/Independant
- Loyal

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?

First off, boring and tedious work whilst the lowest rank of all; spending most time on foot patrol or following around higher ranking officers, carrying out their instructions. It will, however, allow me to enhance my roleplaying experience and increase my roleplaying opportunities and the opportunities of other players around me as I will get to see what it is like on the 'other side of the fence', if you will.

Once my character attains a higher rank in the CCA I expect to begin to find my role as a civil-protection officer exciting as I begin to gain authority of lower ranks and increase the amount of power I have amoung my fellow units and also the general public and also begin to not only enhance my own roleplaying experience but also the roleplaying experience of the others players around me and take their experience to a higher level than I could when I'm a lower rank; more power - more things to do.

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.

Alex was a fisherman in New York city and spent his life catching fish. Although this may sound boring to most people, Alex loved it. It was one of his passions in life and he couldn't get enough of it. He was taught to fish by his father from the age of seven but his father sadly passed away only a couple of weeks before the seven hour war. During the seven hour war, Alex spent his time running around trying to find his family in the chaos and confusion of the combine invasion. His efforts became halted approximately 3 hours into the invasion when he was trapped in the sewers and spent a total of three days down there. Starving, alone, wet, not knowing what the hell was going on. For the first time in his life, he was properly afraid.
 
After three days of being stuck down there and living off his own waste, a combine search team found him and took him for psychological evaluation and to have his wounds checked out. Alex was found to have a 'higher than average IQ' and was sent to a 'special' camp. Whilst he was there, the combine attempted to train him and many others to handle their technology and apply it in new ways. Alex was taught to use, take apart and repair a wide range of combine technology such as consoles, scanners, weapons etc. Alex was there for almost four months when he was suddenly transferred to a combine outpost at an undisclosed location, with several others, where he was going to assist the combine units on the ground with, in layman's terms, 'tech support'. However, on the way to the outpost, the convoy he was in was ambushed by a large group of rebels. The combine sustained heavy losses and had to call for reinforcements but by the time they had arrived, the rebels had disappeared, along with Alex.

The rebels took Alex away and interrogated him about what sort of 'work' was done at his camp and why was he being transferred around. The rebels treated him as if he was combine. They starved him and beat him and deprived him of sleep or any contact with the outside world. After four weeks, the rebel hideout was attacked by a combine elite strike force. In the confusion, Alex slipped away into the countryside where he spent an entire day on the run from both the combine and the rebels. He was sick and tired of being 'piggy in the middle' and decided to take a side. A side that made sense to him. After what the rebels had done to him, he wanted nothing to do with them. He still had to find his family to find and how was he going to do that living in caves, hiding all the time, being constantly hunted by the combine. He made his choice and he stuck with it.

After spending a whole twenty-four hours on the run in an expanse of wood he eventually found himself on the outskirts of a city. On his way into the city he learnt that this was City fourty five; and this was his new home

I also want to join the CCA because of a deep resentment and hatred I have for the, so called, 'Resistance'; they talk about resisting against the combine and "maintaining our humanity" but they tortured me and treated me like scum, just because I was forced to spend time in a camp. They will suffer and they will be destroyed, not just because of my personal contempt of them, but because of my ideaology; they cannot exist in our perfect world.

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.

At a young age, Alex was walking down a ally when she ran into a group of boys all standing around something. they were kicking and beating a small shape. She screamed at the boys and threatened them till they ran off. she then saw what it was, a puppy barely even a year old, now a bloody mess. it was dead. that was the first time Alex saw how evil humanity could be, she could never for get that day, and ever since she has been disgusted with man kind.

When the combine first took over, Alex wasn't sure about them. she didn't really like the whole oppression thing that they were doing to the people. she even considered joining a local rebellion for a little while. but then one event changed her life and how she looked at the Civil Authority, forever.

It was then Alex walked out side her apartment, she just stepped out side and BAM. out of no where, with no requests, no demands, nothing, a man just runs up and shoots her in the arm. the last thing she remembered was a highly decorated officer running up to her and then, nothing. she woke up in the Citadel feeling much better with her arm wrapped in a bandage, the officer was standing by her and asked her if she was ok.
It was at that moment that Alex knew why the combine were here. Why the Civil Protection did what they did. Humans are like animals, and need to be constantly watched or they will just wipe each other out. She decided to leave everything behind and not stop until she could join the force and become a part of this greater good.

I know this will be hard work as many strict rp servers are VERY strict with their CP units. I am ready to give my time and power to making the server the best while having fun doing it. it will be rewarding work in the end. i love to rp in HL2RP servers as CPs, and am ready to climb my way in the ranks to be the best.

IC

Alex expects hard training and even harder work. endless hours into the night of studying and living the law. she is fully prepared to give up what ever she needs to, to join the force. though she knows it is hard, grueling work, Alex truly believes what the CA are doing is right and wants to be a part of that.

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.

“Haha, lets get outa here, this dumb thing is dead anyway” says the boy as he and his friends run off, leaving Alex alone with a small thing she stumbled upon, laying in the ally. She goes over to it and tried to see what it is in the dim light. To her horror, its a dog, a small one, probably just a puppy. Its all bloody and its leg and neck are twisted in a funny, unnatural way. Blood drips from its mouth where the  boys had kicked and beaten it. Its one ear and tail are torn and its other legs are apparently snapped in half. Then, it moves, its head looks right at her while its neck is still all twisted another way, its hazel eyes bore right into her like bullets and shes stunned. The entire sky goes red like blood and the ground starts caving in around her.

Then she wakes up.

Alex's life was never easy. She grew up with no father, in some back water little place. She had a always working mom, and 3 younger siblings. She only knew the world for its evil and mean people.
In high school, Alex was very athletic. She played volleyball, basketball, and her favorite, lacrosse. She loved to run. She started varsity her freshman year, and was team caption her junior and senior year. She lead the team to 3 district championships and 2 state championships. Her coaches said she always gave no less than 150% in everything she did. In school, Alex would take 2 gym classes a semester, and classes like CAD and engineering. She loved to invent and just be creative. 

Alex never really had any friends though. She hated how boys would just go out with girls just to get in their pants and how girls would say there were your friend just to talk behind your back. She hated how people were in general. She was always suspicious of everyone and was afraid to trust anyone. And then she always had nightmares. Ones from her childhood.

After high school was over, shit hit the roof when the war started. She was always told that the combine-or thats what she heard them called- were winning the fight. That she shouldn't do anything dumb like run off and join the army, like she wanted. It was over pretty quick. Earth surrendered and that was that. At first she wasn't to sure about the combine ruling. She even considered joining the local rebellion. That is until, one day, a few years later.

Alex just walked out of her house to get the daily rations for her family. She looked down the street and saw a man approaching. She was about to just walk out, when the man pulls out a gun and BAM. He then takes off down the street, and her brother who was in the window starts screaming for help. Then a decorated officer came running down and Alex blacked out. She woke up on a little bench in a dimly lit room. Her arm felt better then ever, and she saw the officer standing on the other side of the room, talking on his radio. She knew she was in the citadel, it was just like she heard it was, though for some reason she didnt feel afraid. The officer asked her how she was, if she needed anything. And suddenly, she felt at home in this place. Someone asked HER how she was. Someone actually cared.
After she left to go back home her mind was set. She knew that she needed to become a CCP, because they were the ones helping the people, not the rebels. The rebels were just supporting the chaos of before. She was going to do something with her life worth while.

IC Character Name: Mat Jefferson

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.
Mat Jefferson was born in 1980 in London. He was bought up well, he had a good life, nice parents, lots of friends and could have what ever he wanted. His parents wanted him to train as an accountant like his dad but Mat had other ideas. His life's dream was to join the Army. Inside he was cold and calculating.
In 1996 Mat joined the British army. While training he was noted as the best unit in the squad. Once command noticed this they pulled him from front line training and put him into a special ops traing course. He was trained in all types of combat and after 4 years of training was an expert in arms. But he had yet to have in real world training. After 3 years of deployment into special ops across the world the portal storms began. At the time Mat was in America in new Mexico. While finishing his op and fighting off the new species trying to kill him he was lucky enough to witness to Black Mesa explosion.
Mat was called in as a special unit to fight the new creatures on earth, Mat loved killing them, he felt that they were no good to humanity and should be destroyed at all costs. But after several years of fighting the Combine arrived. Mat was ordered to fight them but something in him said don't. Mat admired how they worked as units, their technology and everything about them. He was only good coming. During the 7 hour war Mat secretly fought humanity. Using his skills and knowledge of human pockets he secretly helped to take down city's. He never let the combine know, he never though they would understand.
After the 7 hour war Mat burned his uniform and equipment and got rid of his guns and ammunition. He then followed suit with all other survivors and went under combine rule. When the CCA was first set up Mat wanted to join but felt he needed a better understanding of them first. Now after a year of observing and admiring Mat is ready to join.

I think being in the CCA will be hard work with a lot of important rp that will help develop my character further. It will give him new skills and experiences that will benefit both him and me in rp. It will be hard work but will be very rewarding, it will also be fun helping keep the city under control. It would be a great experience for both me and my character.
IC
My character expecting the CCA to be hard work, there will be a lot of training and work and it will be hard at times but overall he only See's good from doing it. He thinks it will help him keep the city under control and the combine in power which is what he wants. He knows it will be hard, he knows he will go through every kind of pain he can think of but he knows that it is worth it and that he will be able to do it.

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.
Mat Jefferson was born in London, England in 1980. He was born into a wealthy family, he was always treated well, could have what ever he wanted and he had many friends. But all of this meant nothing to him, he isn't a man of material things. His parents always tried to force things on him, mainly they wanted him to become an accountant like his father. They gave him maths lessons everyday, mat loved them but not for the reason his parents wanted him to love them. The maths lessons allowed him to calculate everything he did down to the last movement. Once he was 16 he dropped the bombshell on his parents that he wasn't going to be an accountant but was joining the army. His parents didn't take it well, they ended up throwing him out but his mother who still had some compassion gave mat a large sum of money to ensure that he wouldn't go homeless. After this Mat hated his father and would try anything to get back at him.
In 1996 Mat joined the British army. He went throw intensive training to become a front line soldier. But while in training a commanding officer noted his excellent skills, he was by far the top of the class, he followed every order, bullied every shot and beat every squad record. Mat was taken out of soldier training and placed into training for an elite team. He was told that over the next 4 years he would be trained in everything from tactics to hand to hand combat. After 4 years Mat was classed as an expert in special combat, he passed his training with flying colors. After training he was dispatched on a serious of secret missions.
After 3 years Mat was on a special operation in New Mexico, he had to take down a VIP while he was traveling on the highway. Just as he got into New Mexico portal storms began. Mat saw the new creatures coming out of thin air, Mat shot every new thing he saw and even though he was now fighting his own little war he still managed to take out the VIP on time. While fighting his way back to his extraction point Mat was lucky enough to see the Black Mesa complex explode into a mushroom of rubble. Mat thought nothing of that, he was too distracted by the aliens trying to kill him.
Over the next few years Mat was flown across the world, not only taking on normal operations but also operations to rid the earth of its new pests. Mat loved it, the fact he was able to kill any pest he was while still having to plan operations. He loved how he had to actually use his mathematical mind rather than just see what he had to do. As cities closed up Mat didn't stay inside, they didn't fell right to him. They were safe but he could see, they were like fish out of water in there, someone just needed to come and cook them.
In 2009 that something came. The combine came in and took each city that was just sitting their, filled with citizens waiting for them almost. Mat watched as the combine destroyed earth with amazing efficiency. Mat saw only good coming from the combine and decided he would never fight them. During the 7 hour war mat was on a full on tactical op, deciding it would be pointless doing it he decided to make his own op. Stealthily help the combine. He knew if the combine saw him with a gun they would kill him, helping them or not. So using his stealthy skills and a sniper mat was able to help take down resistance for the combine allowing them to just go into the city and take it with ease. He took down Soldiers to VIPs in charge of the city's. After 7 hours, the white flag was put up by humanity. Mat decided to get rid of all his army gear, he burnt his equipment and uniform and threw his gun down a chasm. He then proceeded to a rally point and was captured and taken with all the other surviving citizens.
Mat was taken to City 17 first, an OK city, a lot of resistance because of who was there. Mat wanted to help but couldn't, he knew it would get him killed. Mat decided to watch how the CCA worked, he wanted to join but first had to work out how they ran, he watched them and learned. In 2015 Mat was given a relation ticket and sent to the train station to go to City 45. As he approached his train he saw something quite odd. A man with glasses, he though it very odd as people don't have glasses any more, its an imperfection. He gathered that the CCA would sort him. He boarded his train and headed to City 45. To start a new life and join the CCA.

His hands were still tied so John screamed for help while standing by the door.



After a minute or two, some CP's heard his screams for help. It was 3 of them, each one with his special part in the breach. He could hear them talk like: "Okay, you two are point. Now stack up!" And things like that.
After the CP's got in, one stayed and two of them leaved. The CP staying in there asked John some questions about the incident. He got the CP's to follow him for a little while, incase John would see the suspect so he could report him.


John didn't see the kidnapper after that. John thought he might have gone hiding in Sector six or someplace were it was quiet and a good place to hide a little while. After that moment John wanted to be one of them.
The people that helps victims of various crimes and keeping sociostability and order in City 45. So John went and filled out his application.




2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)

- Loyal to the Combine
- Thrustworthy



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 to show me a little around and teaching me basics i need to know as a CP while i'm a 
UNIFORM. I think they will be supportive and help me. I don't think being a cp will be a dance on flowers and it will require some skill, strength and grammar. Also, if you want to be a CP you need to learn the laws, the contraband list and all the codes. Like 11-99 Officer needs assistance! and such.


John thinks that the training CP's must do, will be like the Army. He expect it to be hard and exhausting. He sometimes think that they need to swim through ice-cold water and such, altough he isn't really sure.
When he looks at a CP he sees his or her's mucles, thinking: "Boy, must have been tough going to that training to get that build."


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.

John Harley was born in New York 1985. He had a mother, father and a dog. John always wished for a brother or sister, saying to his parents almost everyday: "Mom, dad. Why can't i have a sister or brother?"
His mom and dad thinked about it, but bought a dog instead. As John grew up he got a part-time job at a super market not far away. Then, one day his dad got sick. REALLY sick. John had skipped his job and school for a week, looking after his dad while his mom was working. As John sat at a chair by his dad's bed, he could hear his father whisper: "John, i don't think im going to hold out anymore." As his father finished that sentence, John turned off the TV and said to his dad: "Relax dad, you are going to be alright." John's father was getting weaker and weaker by the second. Then his father whispered really low: "John, my son. This is the end for me. Take good care of your mom." John's dad slowly laid his head at his pillow. "Dad? DAD! Wake up!" John took his hand on his father chest...Not a single heartbeat. "Dad...I can't believe it. You're dead." John paused for 10 seconds and said: "Rest in peace dad." John slowly went to the phone calling 911. Two weeks later John and his mom stood by John's fathers grave. John laid a white rose at the grave and lit a candle lantern. At school John just sat at his chair looking at his desk. When someone asked him about something John just sat there. After replying his name 3-5 times John then snapped to attention. John had quitted his job and at home, the only thing he did was do homework, play video games, eat, sleep and think about his dad. Everyday when John woke up it was a picture of John as a 5 year old with his dad and mom in the background. Sometimes he would pick up the picture and swipe his finger over his dad and say: "Hello dad. How is it going up there?" Some years after the Seven hour war, John was placed into city 45. Hearing about people get killed by crazy murderers and kidnapped. One time when John walked into an open apartment, another man stood in the apartment. As John tried to get out, the man blocked his way. As the man closed the door and locking it, he tied up John and put him on a table. As the man walked out, John was left behind in the apartment. John cried for help and some CP's heard it. The CP's rescued John. John was already loyal but was a little unsure about joining the CP's. After the CP's rescued him, John was very sure about joining the CCA. So he went and filled his application.

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.

Why not? A warm place to stay, food, Its a dream, clean cloths that fit. A place to stay and the ability to help people! I've seen people request and request for no response.. I'd like to be the unit that responds and helps! For the greater good, to serve the benefactors is a true dream! Simply amazing.. Also the CCA is a place were engineers as my self are truelly apreciated! After all, the Citizens dont apreciate intelect (From what I've seen they dont have any) There is a place for my character in the CCA, ICly and OOCly. I highly enjoy the sense of order in the CCA. I want to be apart of the bigger picture! Not a disposable slave any more. Some one with a purpose! I want to do somthing beyond picking up that damn can!
   I've learned a lot about the Do's and Dont's of the CCA; Example: 648 running into the CCH breaching doors (881 did that too.) My character will enjoy the CCA Almost as much as me; building scanners (Maybe) Keeping those civvis in line.. Guard duty (Not truly fathomed like: Sweet Gaurd duty!) Training Judgement Waivers instead of looking at a wall for 20 minutes.. Exogen breaches instead of being in the CCH watching... Ordering a citizen to pick up a can or something.. Why does my character want to join? Well after he was brutally attacked by the Marines Melovent (Rebel group) And then brutalised by the Brotherhood of Freedom, then five minutes later had a whole wall peppered at him by the VIII Legion. He has many reasons to hate the Resistance and none to hate the Combine; Why should he? They invaded big deal its been happening for centuries; The Roman's did it and no one is bitching about them. Invading armies.. Off topic; My character wishes to join the CCA to help others, better himself, and eradicate the resistance.
    He wanted to join the first day he saw them; Simply amazing, keeping the peace, the stability.. Flawlessly. He wants to be apart of the most succsessful take over in history that has stayed in power with 0 difficulty.. Why should't he? Being in the CCA is an honor beyond messure.. A pleasure on a day to day basis.. A light in the grim life he is forced to live.. For now.. To serve and keep the peace! His life hangs in this application.. Besides the point! His desire to join is brighter then the sun.. Just.. To be in an establishment with an actuall jain of command! Some order! Objectives.. Simply amazing.. A real difficult question is why not to join; Wait there isnt a reason why not too.. So I am.. After the several attacks upon him by the resistance he made his choice to join.. It wasnt a difficult choice; Live in the streets or be in the most powerfull military ran society in history.. I'll go with the latter.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy) Lawful, Trustowrthy, Cunning, Determined.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?

I expect it to be highly structured rigorous military environment.. It wont be fun and games; I expect and I know this, it will be serious enviroment all the time, I'm glad for this. It will be extremely strict with difficult training. I know my life will be on the line on a daily basis; I understand this and will use caution.. I am also aware I will most likely be attacked by Anti-Citizens in my line of duty.. This is another fact I'm willing to accept.. I also expect no unit will be truly kind or welcoming. That's fine. My character is a cold person any way; He isn't warm in summer. Anyway. He's seen recruits get called from Patrol and never come back out...
He doesn't wish to be one of those; He'll respect the rules to his full ability. He also knows cowardice is not tolerated. Kill you were you stand for being a coward (From only what he has heard) There is a lot he doesnt know and some he does know. a lot of Secrecy in the CCA.. a lot he doesnt and most likely will never know. He wont dig.
   You know what he will dig however? Rebel's graves. Thats what he believes will be exspected. No messing around. "Herp I'll run into the CCH!" Unit 000. *Pins blackmark to his vest*" "You're a shame to us all" However; My character has multiple units charge into the CCH shot open doors and stole some items. What? My character duely noted that failure down and not to repeat history. My character is the bare witness of the raw destruction the Combine have wrought. My character has noticed Recruits no longer get fire arms; he only wonders who messed up. He's also seen units (And various idiots) Fall off the OW tower and die. The Units howerver, armour and such survived.. He still exspects danger; pain and possible death.

IC Character Name: Zack Tybalt

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.

                After seeing his father mugged and eventually shot, a young Zack had developed an undying hate for crime of any form. Today, he was just transferred to city 45, and with an unusual case of OCD, hated every minute of living there. The rebels, the petty crime, the lack of order. He despised this city. He felt the city despised him. He thought he would never find a place in society.
 
               One day he was mugged by a rebel needing money for contraband. While he is a good fighter, this rebel was obviously trained, and got the best of him. All Zack felt was one pound after another as the man pressed his knees on Zack's chest, punching his face. Then, a ZAP. Then peace. Zack sat up, looking at a Civil Protection Unit repeatedly beat the vagabond rebel with a stunstick. He admired the CPU, who was a perfect example of a peacekeeper. Zack then walked home, knowing the Civil Protection would keep the streets clear of thugs.

               After a long day at work, Zack collected his rations, then set off for his apartment. He saw a woman being beaten brutally by some groggy old man. Quickly picking up a soda can, he threw it at the old guy. Enraged, he turned around to see a fist well aimed at his face. Precisely two seconds later, the same man was lying on the pavement in a pool of blood caused by his broken nose. The bruised woman asked Zack if he was alright. He didn't answer. Instead, he set off straight for the Combine Civil Authority application center. 

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)

Lawful, Fair-minded, responsible

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?

OOC: I have experience with both Rebel classes and CP classes under my belt. Out of the two, I like the CP role the best. Having someone run to you for help is a hell of a lot better than making someone run for help. Spawning with a tool used to take life away is a great responsibility, and knowing that somebody's safety rests within it is a feeling RP was made for.

IC: Having OCD, Zack will find himself patrolling constantly, making sure everyone is in check. He would find it stressful at times, but regardless of the obstacles, he belongs on the Civil Protection force. While he may overreact to petty crimes, he will hesitate to shoot the suspect dead, as his childhood experience has traumatized him. Zack will be a valuable asset to his unit, and will always use his power as a CP responsibly.

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.

At age 7, Zack Tybalt witnessed his father stabbed to death by a man wanting money to support his cocaine addiction. Since then, Zack Has despised crime in any form, even scolding his friends for driving over the speed limit. He took refuge in an abandoned hospital during the Seven Hour War. Surrendering to the Combine, he was allowed to live and was transferred from city to city, eventually ending up in City 45, a crime ridden atrocity, at least, when Zack got there. The civil protection inspired Zack, who was a target of thugs because of his scrawny appearance. His apartment was nothing more than a single room with a light, toilet, sink, and bed. He read the newspaper regularly, and learned how the Civil Protection got top notch accommodations. He would consider joining, but for the moment would keep his current job. It was true, Zack wasn't the strongest of people, but he did know how to fight. With short brown hair, dark eyes, and a head standing 5'7 from the ground, he would be intimidating if he weren't so slender. He never bulked up through puberty, and people have taken advantage of his unusual circumstances. Zack took Karate when he was five, but his methods of fighting are more of a street style. Zack has been to prison once, before the Combine came, for throwing a rock at someone for running a red light on his street, breaking their window.. Whilst in prison, he was kept in custody for an unusual period of time despite the crime on account of getting into a fight with the other criminals who showed no remorse for their crimes. This hardened Zack, who would never forget leaving the place designed to hold those he despised. All of these events are why Zack Tybalt is filling out his application this very minute.

We raided the base with M4A1's and they had petty MAC10's. It was a raid truly for justice.

OOC Name: RJ

IC Character Name: Randy Johsa

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.

    Randy Johsa was in a miserable life wondering around the world and was then suddenly picked up by a patrolling CCA group. He was then later transferred to city45 where he could only think of things getting worse. After a few brutal days of tolerating and refusing the CCA's authority he got too weak to put up with it. He then decided to try and work things out the other way and things began to change.

    Randy Johsa began reporting mishaps that were going on around the city from abusive language to physical assaults. Once he became fairly recognized by some CCA's and maintained a clean record of 0 points he was going to get a "loyalist band" to wear proudly on his arm. He continued to try and serve the CCA's with all that he could because he figured out that if he can continue to stop -not all- most of the problems that things would run a lot smoother. He began coming up with a sort of "schedule" to do his own watching patrol. Although it was not an official patrol route he wanted to help other's see why we should follow the CCA's authority, so he became what other's referred to as a "rat" but was considered a "maintainer of peace" by the CCAs.

    Randy Johsa not only decided to help the CCA but he also tried to help the citizens that occupied city45. How he did this was by talking with them on how problems will be eased if we only started to trust them more and if we didn't fight them all the times. He talked others out of trying to challenge the CCA into a fight, or disobeying them by going into sector 6. He would do this day in and day out so that he could save others from destruction. He did these actions to save others from themselves.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)

Loyal - He stays true to the CCA by telling only the truth and reporting things that cause only problems.

Precise - He chooses his words very carefully and strategically so that he can persuade even the most stubborn.

Survivalist - He plans out when and how much food he should eat or preserve so that he can continue to survive another day.

Perfectionist - He can't stand a misaligned word or object that's on display -or anything for that matter-.




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 CCA to be a thrilling experience and a chance to show that I can show authority over players that don't play games properly. I want to be able to allow other players to enjoy themselves while they play on the Catalyst server and that the game is played fairly as well. I also expect that I'll be able to learn how things work as a CCA and so that I'll be more briefed on the sort of things about a CCA. Once I've gotten the skills and knowledge I need to know about being a CCA I plan on trying to move up the ranks and show others the sort of example they should follow. This is what I expect to get out of when and while being a CCA.

    Randy Johsa hopes that he can prevent others from stumbling into the thick of things and making wrong decisions. He hopes that he can accomplish this soon so that he can help maintain peace with the other CCAs. He hopes that he can gain trust and a dependence with other CCAs so that he can have support when he needs it and when other citizens need it. He also wants to move from just being a loyalist to someone that can get more things done and be able to show that anything can be achieved when cooperation is shown to those around you. This is why Jonny Harkwate hopes to achieve, so that things can join into a "coexistence" of some small or big sort.


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.

    Randy Johsa was devastated when he found out that the world was being taken over. He tried to hide from everything and was successful. While almost everyone he knew was either killed in the fight or detained... he was left with nothing left. He wondered around for 2 years until he found some survivors and decided to join him. He shared his knowledge with them and in return received invaluable information. These helped him to contribute to each others survival for many more months. But the time came to when the "combine's" (as they referred to them as) came and found them. Jonny managed to make another escape but to only find himself alone... again. He then spent the rest of the time surviving by a 3rd point perspective and not actually being in his own conscience. He then stumbled upon an abandoned warehouse full of materials that could keep him surviving for years. He spent a long time of his life there and still keeping his skills up with survivalism and studies. He also found some weapons that he could use to fend off any unwanted presences but he was grateful as he never had to use them. This is because after about 2 years (if it was actually 2 years) he set out again hoping to find others. He spotted some rebel groups, but they were in the midst of a firefight and clearly not holding out. He met up with a few that managed to stay hidden and was able to trade supplies for awhile until he had an urge to leave as he didn't like the idea of being in the presence of rebels when a greater power was at their doorsteps. He continued on for countless days scrounging around for food and clean water. That's when the day came when a few CCAs came and detained him and transferred him to city45 where he continued to survive for who knows how long.

I've played as a sort of "civil protection" unit in different games and as different positions and I really want to be able to play as one here.  I hope that I can do this so that I can help improve the game play for not only myself but also others.




Please sign the attached oath using only blue or black pen.

I, Randy Johsa 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 also declare my knowledge that as a Member of The Universal Union that I will be required to perform tasks above and beyond as well as perform ANY task ordered to by ANY commanding person(s). 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.

Denied. Resisting CCA with heavy malcompliance isn't a smart move. Also, your character was "wandering" and had not been transferred to a city. This would imply that he was in a non-Combine civilized zone. The UCA does not operate in non-city zones.


I just read over my CCA application and I see where you are making your observations that I wasn't as clear on: When I say wandering around I mean like the place in HL2 on the coasts there (or somewhere more near cities like in episode 1/2) and so the combine took him and "dumped" him into a city (I'm a little bit short of knowledge on the HL2 world but if you can understand what I'm getting at when I mean somewhere around a combine position and/or a city of the sort). When I mean refusing the combine's authority what I was getting at was this:

–verb (used with object)
1.
to decline to accept (something offered): to refuse an award.

When I was saying that he was refusing, I meant he was having trouble accepting the fact that the CCA made the rules not him (as he's been living by his own laws for quite some time), I didn't intend it to be him straight up refusing to "Apply" or something, it was more of the "challenge" for him to fit in. I'm sorry if I was vague by just a little bit but if you can please re-asses my application as it would mean a great deal if I can be a CCA. Thank you if you took your time to read this: -RJ
