The Bloody Advocate's CCA Application

Out Of Character

What is your average total play time on our server?: I average around six hours, when possible. May fluctuate based on work or physical exhaustion.

What makes you want to join the force?: I felt it would be good to take part in the CCA and help flesh out the force OOCly. It would give units a chance to get on their civilian characters if they needed a break from patrolling.

Have you been on the MPF force on any other server? If so, what rank did you reach?: On Sigma7, I reached the rank of 04 (04-01 scale) before the community shut down; on Nucleic, I reached the rank of 03 (04-01 scale) as well as acted as a temporary divisional before the community shut down; on SN1PE I acted as the community's SeC during reconstruction before being perma-banned after reconstruction was completed; I acted as a temporary divisional on both DTJNB and Onyx (note: I co-founded the communities); on Dynex/False-Liberties I achieved the rank of i2 (i5-i1 scale) before the community changed hands.
What is your experience on HL2RP as a whole?: I have been taking part in HL2RP since late 2012, filling the roles of civilian, resistance, CWU of varying ranks, loyalist, vortigaunt (both enslaved and escaped), OTA, MPF of varying ranks, and CA.

15 line RP example as a CCA unit:
C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 shifts in his position, a hand resting on the cover shield nearby. He takes a slow, idle breath, allowing it to escape as a distorted sigh.

C17:CCA-HELIX.DvL.87261 radios "<:: Patrol teams, report status and location."

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 reaches up to his chest mounted radio, pressing his thumb against the talk button.

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 radios "<:: Union 92318, 10-51, Nexus hard point. Socio stability is green, minimal civilian activity."

[5'10''|Brown, short hair|Green ey...] requests "There's someone in the apartments threatening to jump down the stairwell. I think they'll actually do it."

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 shifts to a more rigid, visibly agitated posture, focus snapping to the apartments.

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 radios "<:: 10-24 for call."

C17:CCA-HELIX.DvL.87261 radios "<:: 10-17. Do not wait. Report any developments."

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 radios "<:: Copy. 10-76."

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 wastes no time, stripping his baton from his waist out of habit and making his way towards the civilian housing in an urgent jog. He avoids civilians around the plaza, ensuring he did not allow for delays on his way.

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 throws the doors open in the apartments, focus snapping to the stairwell as he makes his way inside, slowing now.

** A man slams into the sitting area at the base of the stairwell, something audibly cracking upon contact.

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 winces at the drop, sweat beading on his forehead as it all comes donning on him. He makes eye contact with the civilians around him, pointing his stun baton to the sides. "<:: Move to the wall," he orders, uncertainly.

C17:CCA-UNION.i3.87182 comes in behind the unit, stripping their own baton as they take in the scene.

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 approaches the sitting area, staring down at the man's corpse numbly before kneeling, placing two gloved fingers on his jugular. With the briefest time to check, he comes to the obvious conclusion. He stands again, turning around.

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 radios "<:: DB count one. 10-104."

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 returns to the lobby, glancing at the now complacent civilians.

C17:CCA-UNION.i3.87182 whispers "<:: Why are they on the wall, Union?"

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 whispers "<:: Looks like a suicide but I want to make sure nobody here's hiding anything."

C17:CCA-UNION.i3.87182 whispers "<:: Fair enough. Once we get another unit, you go check the upper floors. We'll handle down here."

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 nods, moving to look up the stairwell. He grips his radio, head angling towards it.

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 radios "<:: Keeping civilians secure. 10-24."

C17:CCA-HELIX.DvL.87261 radios "<:: 10-2. Question current civilians then release. Don't make something big out of this."

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 nods idly, allowing a low, crackling sigh before he presses his talk button again.

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 "<:: Copy that. Will update as needed."

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 turns back around, replacing his baton in its mount before making his way back to the lobby.

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 points to a short, blond man against the wall near the stairwell. "<:: Citizen. Do you know what happened?" Sweat continued to make its way down his face, mind repeatedly shifting back to the body in the sitting area. He would need to move it eventually. Someone would have to. It would cause unrest otherwise.

Jeremy Harald says "Not much I can really tell you, sir. Just heard shouting upstairs and then the guy fell."

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 nods lightly, glancing at the i3. "<:: Did you know them?" It. Them. The guy had just died. Why default to such indifferent pronouns? He had to. He couldn't humanize death. It was hard enough to do this job and not break down in public. He had to distance himself from it.

Jeremy Harald shakes his head, offering a disconnected shrug. He looks somewhat pale. "No sir. Mind if I sit down? I don't feel well."

C17:CCA-UNION.i5.92318 says "<:: Go ahead." He shifts his focus to a woman to Jeremy's left. "<:: Citizen, did you know the man?" Only a few more to go...

In-Character

Name: Conrad Faust

Age: 53

In-Game Description: 6'2''|Bald head|Broad shoulders|Emaciated|Calloused hands|Hazel eyes

Concise Backstory: Conrad Faust was born during a tumultuous period of human history, finding himself smack dab in the middle of Germany's idealogical split in 1964. Though the second great war was still fresh on the mind of survivors, he was brought up in the era where the USSR and the USA were hoping to dominate the fresh memory of the following generation, East and West Germany acting as the greatest examples of this. Through some fashion of fate - or terrible luck - he found himself in East Germany, under the guidance of the USSR and their dominating Communistic teachings. Many were anxious and uncertain about the future they might hold but with Conrad, the ideology took hold.

At eighteen, he began his education and training to join the Volkspolizei, or the People's Police, an arduous and extensive process that further strengthened his political and ideological loyalties. He met his young love some time after he began his training, courting the Lisa Behrend with nervous reservations. With his dedication to becoming a fully fledged officer and not just a volunteer, he had little time to focus on Lisa but the two held out and, by 1989, the two were blissfully wed. However, on Novermber 9th of that same year, the Berlin wall fell, foreshadowing the reunion of East and West Germany. Despite years of rigorous training and studying, the Volkspolizei was disbanded and policing authority moving to the federal authority of the newly restored Germany. His years of work had, essentially, be all for naught but after the Union's arrival and their subsequent authority was exerted, he found himself in a similar, if not bleaker, situation that he had grown up in. Though his East Germany was no more, he was cautiously hopeful for the future the Union seemed to promise.

Motivation For Joining: I feel it is my civic duty to assist in the continued protection of the city.

Advocate has extremely great RP skills, overrall great meme, I can vouch for him.
He has good memes

I agree with ChipChip. Advocate has literally taught me all I know about roleplay; he's great. You can no doubt see that in his application.

Updated the RP example. Felt I didn't give enough CCA RP for my unit specifically and that I didn't go enough into the emotional response.
