- *Character Name: Rockford Seibel
- *Character Role: Civil Administration Authority
- *Brief summary of the character: A repatriated immigrant politician with devote loyalty towards the Universal Union and it's mission. His position in the branch is unknown, it shall be decided by those in charge of the Administration Board.
- *Why do you want to play this character?: I have never played a character in City Administration before. Given that I like how it's done on the main server, I want to give it a shot and make for an interesting antagonist that wields a powerful leash on the City, all the while contributing RP to the city. He could be part of the Civil Protection Ministry, a intendant for Foreign or Domestic Affairs, or simply just a well known vocal echo for the propaganda, though I'd definitely like for him to me more than that. A Minister position of sorts will suffice.
- Full Backstory:
ROCKFORD SEIBEL — Civil Administration Buereau of City Eight
Rockford was born to a family of German heritage, near the city of Bonn. His father was a born national socialist fanatic, his mother Swiss by blood. He grew up in a delicate village near the outskirts of the former capital before Berlin was baptized as the countries new metropolis. Attending school from the age 7, he's already excelled in most subjects that the average pre-teen would find difficult to tackle. English, Maths, Natural Science, nothing of the likes was a match for the then eager prodigy who had Greatness coming his way.
At the age of 23, he received his diploma from the University of Bonn in applied political science, a bachelor. Rockford had always carried an interest in communal politics and domestic affairs; granted, he was part of the German Communist Party for Youth, his young years already devoted to changing his community to fit the ideals of a unified parliament under one banner. Why the communists? His thesis was about Marxism and societies suppression under a conservative, communistic Stalinistic leadership.
As his age went, Seibel landed himself a position as Acting Mayor of Bonn, first as an assistant, then taking position as a whole. He went big on the paper, climbing the ladder all the way towards the German Bundestag and occupying the position of Chairmen for the GCP. He's held rallies, promoted the presence of the party and eventually managed to hold about 200 seats in the Reichstag, being voted one of the leading parties for the German people.
However, it wasn't until late when the Combine came knocking. Portal Storms broke out over the world, Germany was plunged into a desperate phyrric warfare that the country had no chance of winning for humanitys sake. Seibel went into exile, hiding from his new established "government" albeit finding admiration in their approach of rebuilding society under one totalitarian schema.
With the establishment of the City Administrator under Wallace Breen, Seibel adopted the status of a political refugee of the "Old World" and accustomed himself as an average laborer under Combine occupation. He's worked himself off in factories and played along to earn himself the status of a Collaborator, which enabled him highly sought after benefits and access to better paid positions in the regimes buerocratic department.
Before Berlin fell, now classified as City 36, he was transported from Bonn all the way over, and took up the position of District Manager for the local Benefactor Workers Department, now known as the Civil Workers Union. He managed multiple factories throughout his time, the granted status of a "high yield industrial accountant" - simply somebody who kept production quotas high - gave him the delights of a life he once lived as a politician in his old days as a buerocrat rat in the name of a socialistic idealogy that the Western hemisphere had long abandoned.
With time and effort came another promotion, and further down the line, Seibel was offered an Advisory position in the City 36 Peoples Administration Party. As an overseer for the industrial zone, he's tried himself in different positions; Advisor for the Treasury, Foreign Affairs, Domestics, Truth, you name it, he's probably tried it.
With the uncertainty of which position to keep, he stuck with what he's been doing all his "new life" and kept on keeping the countless factories in check - until the day came everything went belly up.
Unrest broke out amongst the population of City 36. The Combine desperately scrambled to keep the violence to a low, though to no avail, the city soon succumbed to the relentless push of the Undesireables and their will to achieve freedom in a world that has long given up. Evacuated to one of the safer sectors around the Globe, he was offered refuge in City 8, some of his other colleagues split into the many other metropolis that the world still had to offer, and from there, he's began his new life, waiting to see what the future will hold for him.
He was welcomed with open arms, though while most of the industry is already occupied and managed by natives and nobody abroad, he took some time to settle in and wait for his new assignment by the City Administrator of Tokyo himself.
