How long have you played with us on our server?: I have been on this server in particular for about two weeks now.
Give us a detailed summary on why you want to be part of the CCA?: I wish to make a difference in the city. I feel that with my addition to the civil authority team, the city will become even more safe than it is now. With previous experience in the CCA field, I will only require a minimal amount of the higher rank's time for my training. I wish to rise above the limitations that I have placed on myself before and work my way up to a higher and more influential rank.
Give us your characters background story (We're not expecting a novel, but roughly 3-4 paragraphs is enough): As a little kid, Sarah grew up on a farm in Kansas, in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Her father was a raging alchoholic, and life at home was always hard. Sarah would always stay up late at night, trying to sleep in the bed that she shared with her sister, Sally, listening to her mother sobbing as her father beat her in a drunken rage. The other kids would always ask Sally and Sarah about the bruises and marks that were visible all over the poor girls arms, but they were too afraid of their father's threats to speak up. Their mother was a frail woman, offering no comfort to the girls, living in her own fear induced hallucinated world. The only friend the two girls had were each other.
On Sarah's 18th birthday, her father didn't come home until late at night. There was no celebration, for they were to afraid of the wrath that would come from their surely drunken father if he saw them, "wasting time and energy" on such a frivolous affair. Sarah's mother grew weaker and weaker by the day. She was sick, but the doctors didn't know what was wrong. Her father was too stingy and uncaring to try to find any sort of help. That night, Sarah and Sally (who was only sixteen at the time) snuck out to the barn. Sally pulled something from one of the bales of hay in the barn. It was a tiny little velvet box, the kind that holds jewelry. Inside the box was a small hear shaped silver locket. Inside was a picture of Sally and Sarah. Sarah was moved, it was the only present she had ever recieved.
Eventually, her father came home, and he was more drunken than ever. He stormed into the house and immediately began yelling at Sarah.
"Where in the hell did you get that stupid necklace!" he bellowed.
Sarah explained through her tears that it was just a gift, and it hadn't cost the family anything. Her father immediately took out his rage on Sarah's mother. Tonight though, the beatings were different. He hit her across the face over and over again. He didn't stop. He just kept beating and beating, their poor mother's face being smashed to a bloody pulp. They screamed and begged for him to stop, but he wouldn't listen. Finally, their mother moved no more. Their father looked up for a moment, seeing through his drunken rage, the horrible thing he had just done. He panicked and grabbed Sally, rambling about how he had to "get out of town, and fast." Sally screamed for help, but could not break out of her father's grip. All Sarah could do was watch in horror as her drunken father dragged her sister to the only car, and drove off. Just like that, her family was gone forever.
Sarah waited for seconds, then minutes, then hours by the house phone, but it didn't ring. No one came home. She waited through the night, but nothing happened. Several hours passed, when a knock came at the door. Sarah sprinted over to the door and opened it, to find a police officer standing there. He had a grim look on his face.
"Are you Sarah Ronalds?" he asked.
"Yes," she replied, "why?"
A sad look crossed his face. "There's been an accident," he said carefully, "I need you to come with me."
Sarah walked with the officer to his car, and they drove off. The officer warned her that things would be bad as they approached the accident, but nothing could prepare for the hell of twisted metal and despair Sarah was about to witness. Two cars, her family car, and another she did not recognize, lay smashed together in the middle of the road. Two bodybags, looking like they contained grown men, lay next to the cars. There were paramedics and officers everywhere. A small voice called out to Sarah, a voice she recognized as Sally's. Sarah sobbed in horror. Her sister lay on the windshield of the family car, her body impaled on a large piece of metal sticking through the hood of the car. Sarah rushed over to her, pressing Sally's small bloody hands to her own. Sally couldn't speak, but did one last thing. She pressed the small locket into Sarah's hand. SHe looked into Sarah's eyes and mouthed the words, "Love....you...". Her eyes closed for the last time.
After this, the farm was sold, and Sarah went off to live with her Uncle Thomas. He was just like his brother. Evil, abusive, and drunk. Sarah lived in this new hell for several more years, unable to find work due to suffering from severe trauma that followed her everywhere. One day, she was watching tv, when an urgent news report came on, interrupting her show. It said something about an attack, something about aliens. Sarah laughed it off, thinking it a hoax, when she heard explosions ring out in the distance.
A few years passed, and The human race acclimated to rule by the Combine. However, not everyone was satisfied with these changes, and some even resisted. Sarah's Uncle was one of these people. Sarah hated her Uncle. She found out about him and his resistance friends, and turned them in. She had the grim satisfaction of seeing them publicly tortured and executed. From that day on, Sarah decided that the Combine were the only thing that could bring order to her hellish life. Sarah decided to join them.
Do you have any past role-play experience as a CCA, give a detailed summary: Yes, I have a substantial amount of experience. I have played through the lower ranks over the course of a few months on a server called Pulse Gaming (may that beautiful server rest in peace
). THis provided me with almost all basic CCA knowledge. I also played as a recruit through 04 I believe on another server, of
which the name I cannot remember. (Sorry about that detail).
Give
us a detailed and well-thought out role-playing example in a in-game
chat format. This includes /me's, and emotes etc. (Passive-RP is very
much appreciated as well!):
/me sits against the wall, looking around the plaza, bored, and a little depressed.
Johnny MacHallen approaches the woman
Johnny MacHallen says, "Hi there lass, what are you up to?"
/me looks over at him, ignores him, and goes back to her thoughts.
Johnny MacHallen says, "Come on sis! You can't clam up like this forever!"
/me looks up at him, angry
Murron MacHallen says, "Buzz off Johnny, I don't want to talk to you right now!"
Johnny MacHallen laughs agitatedly.
Johnny MacHallen says, "You know I had no choice! They were going to kill us!"
/me looks up through her tears, and yells at him
Murron MacHallen says, "Those were our friends Johnny! Our friends! And you stabbed them in the back!"
Johnny MacHallen pounds his fist on the wall.
Johnny MacHallen says, "Come on! You know we had no choice! The CCA knew everything! If I didn't get you and I out of that mess, you would be with Maggie and Dawson right now! In the Combine's torture chamber, wondering when the hell would end!"
/me glares at her brother through her tears, quivering with rage.
Murron MacHallen says, "No...you're right...we didn't have a choice. You did! And you made the wrong one! You're not my brother!"
/me sobs.
Murron MacHallen says, "I don't know who you are..."
/me storms off, sobbing.
Johnny MacHallen looks after her.
Johnny MacHallen says, "Sis....I..."
Do you have Teamspeak3 installed? (It's recommended!): Yes, but I prefer to stay out of teamspeak (I've experienced some issues with metagaming in the past on another server) and only really use it for radio purposes.
Last of all, give us a little background of yourself: Well, I'm a teenage gamer. Just got into pc gaming around last year, and got addicted to garry's mod. I then found out about hl2rp, which I am also now addicted to ;P
