Alex Marx's Civil Authority ApplicationOOC Name: Gunnerstrip7
IC Character Name: Alex Marx
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 wants to join the CCA because he wants to help keep the streets clean, because he believes that he can do more to keep it clean then clean the walls and windows of the buildings. He believes this because he learned from the city itself, even if you clean all the dust and grime metaphorically speaking, they would gather again. He has seen many people around the city and none of them seem able to do anything. Alex's goal is to not be one of them, and instead become a member of the CCA as a means of standing out.
Alex has seen plenty of crime, and despite requesting it to be taken care of or even directly telling a CCA unit, it would go unanswered and the criminal would get away Scott free. This made Alex furious, he felt like criminals belong in cells, not the streets. Thanks to this Alex felt as if he needed to take matters into his own hands, and join the CCA so he could detain those that don't deserve to walk the streets.
Another reason Alex wants to join the CCA as he believes it will make him a better person in general, as he has seen units able to do things he and other citizens could only dream of. Things like that would fall under the category of running at certain speeds, or displaying their strength by defeating an Anti-Citizen. The final way he believes the CCA would make him better is that it would make him more courageous and less of a coward that he currently is.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)Alex Marx is a very quite man, and he also displays loner characteristics, such as preferring to be /away/ from people rather then talking to one of them. He is very trustworthy when it comes to following orders, and has a hard time doing anything when he is ordered to do something else. On the opposite side, it is very hard for him to trust someone, especially if he has just met them. Lastly he is very observant of his surrounding's and finds it hard not to notice small details.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.I myself expect CG's CCA to be a type of roleplay I have yet to experience, as well as a way for me to get to know people in the community better then I already do. I also expect it to help me with my roleplaying in general, as I will be forced to do types of roleplay I would normally not experience.
My character expects the CCA to be a way for him to improve himself. As well as a way for him to help clean up the city as a whole rather then just cleaning windows and the roads. He also expects it to be a way to help himself get over certain characteristics of himself, like his tendency to stay quiet when it comes to a decision or event he could participate in. So overall he sees the CCA as a way to keep the city clean and a way to self improvement, and not much else.
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 Marx was a simple and quite man from birth. Never really speaking to people, he never developed any long time friends, and his family was more distant then anyone else he had met during his entire life. Alex grew up in southern Russia, and he was always thinking of what life would be like outside of the country, into places like England or America.
After getting out of College Alex lived a simplistic life, working as a phone operator in a small town in Central Russia after moving there, having no reason to live in his old hometown. The way he lived was boring to him, and he had planned to move away to England after getting enough money gathered. But that day would never finish, as it was the day the portal storms occurred.
The military rolled into his town and he was not permitted to leave, the resonance cascade had begun. While the outside world was infested with offworld parasites, Alex tried to live as a clerk at a small store, finding no use as a phone operator anymore. He believed the portal storms to be a small problem, easily contained by the government. All these thoughts ended when the Universal Union invaded earth and started the Seven Hour War.
His town was one of the first to go, everyone being detained and checked, anyone below 18 was killed, and everyone like Alex, who was 25 at the time, was packed on trains and shipped off. It was clear there was no hope for earth anymore.
He arrived at a new city, City 45, and found it hard to adjust to life there. He quickly found out that these 'loyalists' got better treatment, and people in the CCA got even better treatment. So Alex spent days working on accumulating 5 loyalist points, along with an armband. To get these points he cleaned up the City, cleaning walls, windows and streets. Once he received his armband, he applied for the CCA, hoping for the best.
