CERES: OFF-WORLD [1ST OF OCTOBER 2021]

[Takyon3]

CERES: OFF-WORLD



PROLOGUE

Ceres.
An object of obsession in the eyes of the Combine and its agents. Many disputes around its worth have been had. And many more between the administrators of Earth - to determine who would be the mastermind to spearhead this seemingly impossible project. The time has come for humanity to prove itself off-world.

Vindico Industries is an organization shrouded in secrecy. But one thing is known for sure; they have a quota to fill, and are capable of going to any length to complete their assigned task. Ran by a crooked and cruel clique of former venture capitalists, this company runs on cut-throat greed. And it's not uncommon to see someone replaced only days after their employment.

How will you rise to the top?

ROLES

Vindico Administrator [1/1] - The suit and tie. Complete authority over all site matters, direct communication with the Combine.

INFORMATION

This story is not for the meek. Defy the daily routine, and expect a word from the guards. But work too hard, and your co-workers might just see you as an obstacle for the newly available promotion. Keep your head down, and finish your quota, worker.

Event Character Applications:

Vindico Administrator: Looking for high roleplay capability, and also someone with common sense. One slip up, and you may be replaced. You will have consistent contact with the Combine throughout the round, and must do as they order you.

Foreman: This event character will be the only one played by an admin initially. But can be opened up as the story progresses.

Standard Character Applications:

OTA: Whitelisted OTA players preferred but not required. But common sense IS REQUIRED. You have a great responsibility to protect workers from work hazards, and from themselves...

Serviceman: Expect some extra responsibility, and exclusion from the bulk of the most dangerous work. However, also expect to be a target because of your position over the workers.

Worker: Arguably the most "fun" position. Expect exposure to the most deadly work environments, and the most rigorous routine. You have the greatest opportunity to climb the corporate tower.

Biotic: Whitelisted Vortigaunt players REQUIRED.

*Role you're applying for: Serviceman

*Violation(s) resulting in your off-world relocation (Workers, Servicemen, Biotics):

His hobby as a tinkerer finally caught up with Hank. It'll be hard to say what broke the camels back.. Was it the tools confiscated? The materials illegally owned? Or perhaps the unauthorized modification of the housing block's laundry machines to stop that horrible.. Horrible banging noise.. Who can really say.

• *Character Name: Hank Bower
• 
  
• *Brief summary of the character: Hank, much as his name implies is a old crusty wrench wielding son'of'a'gun. Working as a maintenance tech in the stars may seem like it would be very different from life on earth.. But reality is often disappointing, or in hanks case, isn't. Go there, fix that.. Hank the toilet ain't working.. Hank a Worker accidentally jettisoned himself and now an entire pod is dead.. You know, the usual. Hank's there to fix it. The way he sees it, the Union keeps him working the same job he did before occupation, so ain't no reason to fight that now.
• *Why do you want to play this character?: Playing as a old crusty space mechanic? I mean the only thing better would be an old crusty space trucker. It'd be a great time.

--- Section Three (Optional) --- // Some of this is copy and paste from my old app as my life hasn't changed.

• Tell us about yourself: I'm a engaged, ex-army turned college student in the US of A. Not much else to say really, I like games?
• 
  
• Are you new to Willard Networks?: Depends on the definition of "new". I've been here for around a month at this point.
• 
  
• Are you familiar with anyone around Willard Networks?: Starting to know some people. Mostly inside my squad.
• 
  
• What's your favorite thing about Half Life?: Half-life as a whole has always fascinated me, I remember playing the first game and being amazed by (at the time) incredible animations. Further into Half-Life 2, I became enthralled by the world. Everything seemed "Fleshed out" so to speak, I remember spending literal hours in the plaza section (hey I was a kid when it came out, don't judge) staring at the technology and scanners. I was too young at the time to understand the story further than face value, but as I grew the overwhelming feeling of dystopia opened doors for me to start wanting to roleplay in it. Leading me to here many years down the line.

  *Why do you want to play this character?: I see this as an opportunity to try out a vortigaunt character in this special set-up scenario.

  (Yes, I copied it from my previous application, why wouldn't I? )
  • Tell us about yourself: I'm a huge fan of serious roleplay, especially HL2RP. I've been playing Garry's mod since early 2017 (3200+ hours) - mainly on the roleplay servers. Thanks to them I got motivated to sharpen my English skills and overall creativity. Other than that I'm also a total maniac when it comes to tabletop roleplaying games such as DnD or Warhammer.
  • 
    
  • Are you new to Willard Networks?: I'm playing it since mid-beta.
  •

  • 
    
  • What's your favorite thing about Half Life?: The outstanding atmosphere and this feeling of despair in the air. Storytelling is also really great - especially when it comes to the side factions and lore.

*Role you're applying for: OTA

*Character Name: OWS.ECHO-41

*Brief summary of the character: They're a rank and file trooper that stands at six feet on the dot donning the gear necessary for their assignment. Their actual experience level would be low intermediate, having been mostly deployed on non-combative sweeps into urban centers. Perhaps offworld assignment to a backwater astral body protecting workers from themselves may be a blessing in disguise.

*Why do you want to play this character?: I want to experience, at least in small part, what OTA is like on Willard. I played a bit of OTA at the end of TerraNova and have basic knowledge of how they operate. This would be a good way to get experience on how the faction operates here for whenever applications would open up for the main server. Plus, soldiers are pretty neat, even neater when they're in space.

*Role you're applying for: Vindico Administrator
*Character Name: Kennedy James Manning
*Brief summary of the character: Kennedy Manning, son of David and the heir to the wealthy Manning Industries. A capitalist at heart, conniving, brilliant, cold, calculating.
*Why do you want to play this character?: This character is not only perfectly fitting for this role, but excellent given the circumstances, and is also exceptional with his flexibility. It's also an opportunity for me to demonstrate one skill I like to boast about - public speaking by administrative characters. I believe I have much to contribute with this character.
Full Backstory (Optional): The story of Kennedy Manning begins three mere years after his birth, in which his father, David Manning, states plainly and simply...

"This child will be my successor."

As he grew up, he would be taught to dress prim and proper, given the proper tools to study, improve himself, and, in the ultimate run, to represent his father's company. He was taught to kill or be killed, that it was a cut-throat world, and that in the long run, nothing truly mattered except survival. In the long run, the strong would trample the weak - and that was life.

He was sixteen when his father sent him off to a boarding school abroad - a city in Massachusetts known as Black Crystal City. That would leave him at the ripe old age of eighteen, having barely dipped his toes into a management board at that city's branch of Manning Industries, and having barely started to pay tuition for the four-year college he planned to attend...

...when the sky cracked open and blue lights filled the sky, and in a matter of minutes, creatures of xenotheric nature were pouring through molestations of reality by the hundreds, then the thousands, then the tens of thousands, and then the millions. By the time it was through, humanity had taken enough losses to make ample space for the visitors. Only several billion lives remained. That number seemed so huge, and yet so small when the tolls concluded.

Manning was huddled in with his classmates on that day. There was no hope for their survival, not unless they surrendered - how could they know that, though? The city could not yield as the world had yielded, hours after Breen had declared submission to the Combine. Not unless they had someone willing to wave the white flag. But they were all too prideful, or too weak, or too afraid.

And so Kennedy was the one to stand up.

His footsteps echoed across the empty halls. The marble turned to stone as he crossed the threshold, and the doors swung open as he stepped off into the gathering storm of super soldiers. In one hand he waved simply a flag. A LITERAL white flag. In the other was simply air, palms open and visible, that the invaders could see easily who was declaring the surrender of the city.

Grotesque figures approached him - like slugs. Just one, though. It listened to what he had to say, and unhesitantly, he gave the response.

"The city of Black Crystal submits. We yield to you now."

The beasts closed in. One of them pointed towards an armored carrier which ferried him to city hall. There, he was introduced to the requirement to make this fact known. The City of Black Crystal had to submit. And for that to happen, the MAYOR had to submit. His name was Mayor Crowley, and as Kennedy burst down the door with his father's magnum and eyes filled with hatred, he declared simply that he "would not be dragged into hell along with the rest of the cowards."

Crowley recoiled and submitted. He belonged with them, and, in a moment, he would BE with them. The city had a tight-knit intercom system which Kennedy had intimate knowledge of how to operate - his father having raised him the way he did. His fist came down on the announcement button, and he repeated the phrase he had rehearsed in his mind. Each of the super soldiers that surrounded him made certain that he would hold true to his claim, but now he held no fear - for they were just like the monsters he was so intimately hand-in-hand with.

"Do not resist. They will not fail. Submit now. You will be protected."

The soldiers likely could not understand him, but they understood his tone, and the seriousness in his voice. Pure conviction. The skies darkened further as the shadow of the Combine loomed over their city, and he was the catalyst to quite literally sell them all out.



Perhaps many years later, he would be seated at a desk within that city which he sold out. Perhaps he would not care that he was unlikely to see his family again. perhaps the thought found his mind, and he took the liberty of not paying attention to it.

And at that moment, a folder would be tossed haphazardly on his desk by a busy ordinal of the Combine. Understanding the gravity of such papers, he would lean forward at his desk and slip it closer to him, flip the booklet until its contents were laid bare, and simply read the word 'CERES'. His answer would be made up on the spot. He would literally be taken to the stars.

*Violation(s) resulting in your off-world relocation (Workers, Servicemen, Biotics): A Civil Protection member tried to steal his cowboy hat and that arguably was the worst mistake that CP could have made, It sent Andrew into a fit of rage and Andrew punched his face so hard that his mask got blown to bits and Andrew beat him breaking his nose and breaking the bones along his jaw after retrieving his cowboy hat he sat there waiting for more Civil Protection to show up just so that he could boast about his victory only to feed his ego.

*Why do you want to play this character?: I want to play this character because he's a complete asshole to everyone he meets I just think it'd be funny icly.

Full Backstory (Optional): As a child, his father would smack him if he did anything wrong, he lived in Houston all his life even through the portal storms, then the union came as his father was killed in action, he watched as the union changed many parts of his life over a short time span, he eventually found himself in Europe, he kind of liked the combine now as he only saw all the exploits he could use to give himself a better life than those around him, he's a cunning man who will stop at nothing to achieve his own interests and they only consist of wealth and power, however, he's recently found a new job as even people such as Andrew must start somewhere, and this new job is his starting point in his hopes to find his ultimate exploits.

*Why do you want to play this character?: Mainly because of the setting, and simply because I wish to explore the obscure side of the Overwatch Transhuman Faction. It is of utmost importance to me, that the faction is being represented in an orderly and disciplined fashion. This is ensured by maintaining constant communications between all of the squad members, as well as maintaining a chill atmosphere, with a strong sense of professionalism. Furthermore, I express a particular interest in the elite overwatch soldier. Paired with this unique setting, this would be an ideal place to participate and utilize my already-existing knowledge.

*Character Name: Mahmoud Al'Aoufi
*Brief summary of the character: The kind-spirited brother of a missing unit, after pestering the CCA to try and get permission to search for this missing unit he took it upon himself to venture out and have a look, after being caught, he was apprehended and sent off-world so that he couldn't cause any more of a headache for the men at the top.
*Why do you want to play this character?: I am wanting to participate in CERES since, well, the date was moved to the 1st because I asked and it'd be rude to stand that up now wouldn't it?

Full Backstory (Optional): Having both a distaste and a respect for his brother for joining Civil Protection, Mahmoud searched to find his body or even try to find him alive in the remnants of the bombing, but in doing so disobeyed the command of the local CCA. Because of his status as a missing unit's family member, he was given the privilege of living and was relocated to CERES so that the CCA could get him out of their hair. He's still hopeful his brother is alive and is filled with hatred for the men that lost his brother. He is determined to get back to Earth by any means possible.

*Role you're applying for:
Serviceman (or worker, as a fallback)

*Violation(s) resulting in your off-world relocation (Workers, Servicemen, Biotics):
Due to anti-civil nature causing unrest and participating in riots against the benefactors, the combine deemed him dangerous. After searching his home they found many makeshift tools and parts. It is suspected he was smuggling for the rebels, and as such, was swept up and taken off world.

*Character Name:
Michael John

*Brief summary of the character:
A British worker at 27, standing at 6’2 with blue eyes and black hair.
Those who encounter him say he is charming, carrying a smile with him at all times.
Michael worked many Jobs before the combine invasion being skilled at craftsmanship. Since the takeover he was moved many times like all citizens before being left at a city due to the combine forgetting about his existence.
He has missed the old life of making tools and decided to make his skills worthwhile while making a bit of cash, supplying the underground groups in his city with tools crafted from what he can scavenge.
It may have been a random search or a snitch, but Michael found himself arrested after the Civil protection teams searched his home. His fate left unknown

*Why do you want to play this character?:
I enjoy playing as a worker and believe my time in the CWU is proof of that. I believe it would interesting to have a criminal who was supplying the rebels to work off world instead of being executed.

*Character Name: OWS.DAGGER-14
*Brief summary of the character: An average soldier of the Overwatch Transhuman Arm assigned to Ceres to perform security operations and ensure the compliance of the convict workforce.
*Why do you want to play this character?: I want to play as OTA in Ceres for multiple reasons. Firstly and most basically I simply love playing OTA. Be it escorting the CCA Higher-ups around the city or participating in sweeps of the sewers I enjoy every inch of OTA RP on Willard and always jump at the chance to further play as them in events.

Secondly, I relish the opportunity to play as OTA in this rather unique scenario. Typically our role in events and on the main server is fully combat oriented and as such this would be a wonderful change of pace and allow me to perform much more passiveRP as OTA. Which I always love to do. I feel that OTA could have a very interesting dynamic with the workers that they preside over, with the workers being happy to have OTA protect them from the various hazards present on the asteroid but also terrified of them. Knowing full well that they will happily execute them all if they get the slightest whiff of a revolt and will have no qualms about issuing harsh punishment on those who fail their quotas.

Finally I also find the whole premise of Ceres fascinating and completely different from anything I've done in HL2RP before. Offering a very unique experience to partake in with the faction I enjoy playing the most.
