[b]Out Of Character Section: How long have you been playing on serious roleplaying servers?: Five years. Do you understand the order-of-rank system similar to military, and are willing to take orders?: Yes. Do you understand all rogue actions involving the CCA must be approved by a super-administrator?: Yes. What is your timezone?: USA EST. (GMT-5) What is the goal of the CCA/MPF?: The CCA act as the primary law enforcement and authority figures of the various Combine controlled Cities. They ensure rules and regulations are followed, as well as ensure the safety of both the local establishments and districts they're assigned to and the law-abiding Citizens within. Their goal is to ensure order and stabilization of all City functions and residents. Why should we accept you for CCA/MPF?: I believe I am well experienced in playing as a CCA unit. In addition to that, I do like the various personalities and characters within the CCA and I would like to interact with them on a regular basis in addition to adding to their experience. Which divisions would you most be interested in?: Union. I may change my mind to Grid, but I've done far too much mechanically inclined roleplay in the past as CCA/MPF units. Character's Backstory (150 words minimal): [i]"Why can't you be more like your brother?" Aaron Rudolph is a man of quick wit and impressive strength. At least, that's how he would describe himself. He was born as the youngest child alongside his fraternal twin sister, Alyssa. His big brother and big sister, Abraham and Ashley, always kept an eye out on them. Growing up in Connecticut wasn't the most pleasant experience, you had to deal with annoying weather patterns, poor drivers, and worst of all, people from Massachusetts. As time went on, Aaron found himself following in the footsteps of his older brother, Abraham, who had been carving himself a career out of sports and mechanical engineering. While he was up to par with the skills, talent, and intellect of his brother, he simply could not match his attitude. Aaron was a natural troublemaker, he found enjoyment in talking back to authority and giving sarcastic or humorous quips, especially when they were at inappropriate times. He always managed to find a way to pull off a joke, be social at the wrong times, or simply act like a clown when it was uncalled for. Something he heard quite actively through growing up was a simple phrase uttered by his mother, "Why can't you be more like your brother?". In reality, Aaron used this as a stress reliever. Typically speaking, he uses humor to disarm and as a device for stressful or tense situations. He uses this impulsively, however. Self-regulation for him is essentially in order to remain on task and remain focused, and as a result, he developed quite a patience that he rarely shows openly. Abraham was well behaved and quite stoic, yet he always got along with Aaron. When the war that has shaped the world as we know it today happened, Aaron and the rest of his siblings had been lucky enough to be shifted around together. When times were tough and resources dwindled, they could always count on each other. However, when Aaron had found out Abraham sent in an application for the CCA, he was livid. It wasn't because of the risk involved, it was because he knew that he had to as well. Just as always, Aaron was following in his brother's footsteps, copying him. This could be the one chance in his life to finally outdo his brother, and he was going to take it.[/i] Give an RP example of how to RP as a Unit (20 Lines minimum): ** CCA.UNION.i3:71700 approaches the Citizen. Her hand clenched onto the shaft of her stun-baton. The vocoded voice, crackles through the mask. "<:: Citizen, this is a restricted area." ** [A tall Italian...] would come to panic. His face visibly becoming pale, and sweats begins to bead up on his forehead, "It- It is? Well I uh... I didn't know. I'll just be on my way then." ** CCA.UNION.i3:71700 continues forwards towards man, "<:: Hold it." ** [A tall Italian...] pauses, having been mid-stride. He turns to the unit, "A-Alright then. What- What is it?" ** CCA.UNION.i3:71700 stands just out of arm's reach, addressing the man. "<:: I'm going to need to search you before I allow you to move on, understand?" ** [A tall Italian...] cringes at the last words, as he nods his head. He steps over to a wall without even needing to be told and starts closing his eyes tightly, "D-do as you need to." ** CCA.UNION.i3:71700 holds the stunstick tightly in their right hand. Now grabbing at a single standard issue ziptie, she would attempt to take hold of the mans hands and tug them behind his back. ** [A tall Italian...] complies, obviously, not wanting to get himself into more trouble. He struggles slightly in his position, trying his best to remain still. His hands are tugged behind his back, and cuffed. ** CCA.UNION.i3:71700 takes hold of the Citizens shoulder with one hand, using the other to pat him down. As she does this, she speaks, "<:: Apply.". ** [A tall Italian...] pauses for a moment before responding, "Jackie DeLuca, 57103." ** CCA.UNION.i3:71700 finishes the search, finding no contraband. She pulls out her datapad and looks up the trespasser by their ID number. ** Jackie DeLuca shifts his feet uncomfortably, glancing over his shoulder. ** CCA.UNION.i3:71700 lowers the datapad, speaking to the man, "<:: Trespassing is a level 2 violation, Jackie. I'd like to let you off easy, but this is the third time you've done it. Turn around for me." ** Jackie DeLuca would turn towards the Unit as she speaks. Letting out a sigh, as he does so. ** CCA.UNION.i3:71700 flicks the stunstick on to a low setting, rearing it back and giving the poor man a few good raps across each upper arm. ** Jackie DeLuca yelps out in pain, the sting being a common feeling to him, but still painful nonetheless. ** CCA.UNION.i3:71700 has finished giving the man a brief re-education, stepping back and taking in a short breath, "<:: You need to stop doing this or it's only going to get worse. Understand?" ** Jackie DeLuca lets out a shaken breath, replying with a pained, "Ye- Yes..." ** CCA.UNION.i3:71700 turns the stunstick off, setting it into their utility belt and taking out a small folding knife, "<:: Now turn so you can be released." ** Jackie DeLuca turns his back to the unit, shaking lightly as he does so. ** CCA.UNION.i3:71700 steps back behind the Citizen, cutting their ties and giving him a patronizing pat on the shoulder, "<:: Carry on." ** Jackie DeLuca nods with a groan, turning around and pacing away with his newly acquired bruises and bumps. [i]Situations _______________________________________[/i] Situation #1: Unit #65032, your best friend since you joined the CCA together, has been rejecting his metropolice rations, not consuming them regularly. He says this is to allow him to be more capable in the field but you notice his hands shaking and his strength weakening. What do you do? Do you mention this to High-Command? [i]I'd remind him that starvation is a pretty bad way to go out. He is already suffering effects of malnutrition, so it would be best for him to undergo a medical intervention as he won't recover quickly enough to be of any immediate use. I would seek out a medical unit and inform them of #65032's declining health and ask for their recommendation. Afterwards, I'd then inform the appropriate commanding unit of #65032's shortcomings and my attempted solution. While they are jeopardizing the Union, they are still a close friend of mine and I would rather see them recover and serve than suffer and be deserviced.[/i] Situation #2: Units #79275, #59278, and you(#95273) are initiating patrol around the outskirts of the town, D1, D2, and D3 as per DvL instruction. Give an in-character radio of what you will announce to the active police force to make them aware of your activity: [/b] [quote][b][i]"Initiating 10-50 across all districts. PT is 792, 592, and 952."[/i][/b][/quote] [b]Situation #3: An Irish citizen, height 5'2" and weight 120lbs approaches you with a sickly stature. He says that he has not been given enough rations and quite loudly demands for more. What do you do? [i]I first tell him to stop shouting. Afterward, I inform him that rations are given as necessary and inquire him about his current loyalty status. I check his status to see if he is currently authorized for anything outside of the standard treatment. Let us assume he is not entitled to anything but the minimal basics. Since he does appear to be sickly, then ask if he has been well and proceed depending on his answer. If he is genuinely ill, then I suggest him to seek rest and conserve his energy. If he just looks that way, then there's nothing I can do and send him on his way.[/i] [i]In-Character Application:[/i] _______________________________________ Full Name: Aaron Rudolph Other Aliases: N/A C.I.D.
