Keriah Eckley
1) Please write a minimum of 3 paragraphs OOC'ly detailing why your character wishes to join the Combine Civil Authority and what lead your character to do so.
My character has wanted to do something about the rebels ever Since her brother died, to a group of rebels that wanted to recruit Keriah. Who thought, he was working with the CP. During the encounter Keriah was also attacked, leaving a scar across her right eye. She was left alive for unknown reasons. Now Keriah wishes to kill all rebels, to avenge her brother. The only thing is though, how could she?
Later my character found out that the CP’s were recruiting some of the most loyal citizens. She then began to help any CP that needed assistance, no matter what the task was. For almost one month Keriah was working hard to earn any loyalist points she could. Then she had finally earned the loyalist armband!
Soon after Keriah got her loyalist armband her sister died further fueling her need for revenge. Her sister was being held by someone in his apartment. Keriah was able to break open the first door into the apartment but her sister was in the bathroom along with the person holding her captive. By this time Keriah did not have enough strength left to bust open the next door, since she was hungry at this time. When the door opened the man who had held her sister captive left unchallenged since Keriah by this time only cared about weather her sister was safe or not.
Now Keriah has recently gained enough courage to go ahead and apply to become one of the newest CP’s. After sending in her application to become a CP, Keriah anxiously awaited a reply from the Universal Union. After about 2 weeks of waiting Keriah was beginning to think she had gotten declined. Three days later a letter arrived from the Universal Union. Will she get accepted, or denied?
2) Please detail your character’s traits. (E.g., Pure, Lawful, trustworthy)
My character is trustworthy, she has only broken one promise in her life. She is stronger than the average person. Lawful, as in she will report any rebellious activity to the CP’s since she is just one person. Nice to those that are innocent, but mean to those who are guilty.
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
I think I’ll be trained to take down even some of the strongest citizens. I expect to protect the innocent by taking down the resistance, whenever and wherever they strike. When I first join I expect to be pushed around a little bit by the higher ranking CP’s, but I won’t mind. I’m most likely going to get flooded with new responsibilities, but I think I’ll be able to stay calm under the pressure. By the time training is complete I think I’ll have everything figured out, well I’ll know what everything means and what to do at the very least.
Both my character and myself imagine things will be organized to a degree where everyone will know what they need to do. I imagine that if I become a CP I will be able to become a better role-player then I am now. I’ll need to stay on guard at all times, when I go on patrol so citizens don’t gang up on me. I think some citizens will hate me, and others will look up to me but no matter what my loyalty to the Universal Union will not falter.
4) Please provide a detailed back-story from an out-of-character perspective on your applying character. This section must be detailed and consist of a minimum of 300 words.
Pre Seven Hour War/Seven Hour War (childhood/portal storms)
My character Keriah Eckley was born into a family of hunters. Her parents taught her how to shoot when she had turned 12. Almost a week after this she learned basic firearm maintenance. (In case you don’t know what I mean by basic in this situation, I meant as in how to clean it, make sure it does not overheat, and how to un jam a gun.) Keriah’s parents only went hunting when it would not get in the way of school Although this was not much of a problem since they went hunting on weekends around once a month to feed themselves and sell the extra meat to the local market. Keriah’s sister decided she did not want to learn how to hunt so she could pursue other goals. These goals are unknown to Keriah even today. Keriah had a lifelong friend named Kevin Brown, who introduced her to Sam Shiffer. Over time they all became good friends. (These friendships stayed with Keriah long enough to make a difference even today) When Keriah had turned 15 her father, Jacob began to drink, well he always did but now more than usual and he became rather aggressive to both Keriah and his own wife. Whenever Keriah’s mother, Saren went out of the house for something that would take at least 30 minutes, Jacob began to be abusive towards Keriah and her only way out was someone coming to the door. Early on she got lucky most of the time since she had a school project going on that made her have to work with a partner, but soon that project was finished and Keriah became rather unlucky. Her friends stopped visiting as often and almost her only escape now was to do as her father said and come up with excuses like homework. By the time Keriah turned 16 Saren found out about what Jacob was doing, they then got into a huge fight. After about a week of this Keriah began to in a way separate from her parents, as time progressed further she began to feel sad and lonely all she wanted was them to stop fighting. She began to take the longer routes home, just so she could talk to her friends for a bit longer. Although this helped Keriah deal with the fight whenever they argued she just wanted to get away. Soon her father got into an accident while returning from a party his friend was holding. He stayed late and it began to get stormy, Jacob could not think through the alcohol and thought he would be safe even though his friends were telling him not to leave and he was too drunk to be driving. By the time he reached the lake that was half way to his home his car began to slide from the rain then he reached the tightest turn on the journey back home his car slid off the road and went straight into a tree. Jacob came out with a broken arm. After this event he saw that his drinking was hurting others along with himself. By the time the fight ended Keriah no longer talked to others without them talking to her unless it was an emergency. During her last year of school Keriah got elected the school president. With her excellent strategizing abilities she was able to save the school’s art program.
When the portal storms began Keriah thought it would be a good idea to move to one of the military cities, strength in numbers right? When she got there she earned her stay by doing anything she needed to. This ranged to stuff like help cleaning and maintaining guns, to organizing the work force of the city. When the combine was first arriving Keriah was just waking up. When a few people knocked urging her to follow them, she instantly began asking questions about what was going on, trying to think of what to do. She soon gave up trying to get some information on what was happening. That was when she made it outside and saw what the cause of alarm was. Everyone was rushed into a “bunker” like structure by the military guys in the city. Once there Keriah was unable to sit still. The next thing she knew she was waking up in city 18. There she was given a citizen ID and citizen clothing. (See below for a detailed story about why Keriah hates the rebels so much)
Post Seven Hour War (Keriah’s hatred towards the rebels)
Keriah’s brother Jason was killed, by a group of rebels. During the attack Keriah was attacked by a rebel who was armed with a knife, he managed to cut Keriah’s right eye pretty bad but she was able to shake it off, proceeding by disarming the rebel, just for two more rebels to appear and begin attacking her in hand to hand combat, knocking her out, but only after she saw her brother get shot, by one of the rebels. When she was waking up, it was to a massive headache. She then slowly rose to her feet, and searched her backpack that was thrown over to the side, and found nothing inside of it. She then shouldered her bag and went over to examine her brother’s body. When she had finally made it to his body she had regretted walking over to it. Keriah had suddenly fallen to her knees and began crying, since her brother had died. She was blaming it completely on herself, but her friend Kevin Brown, was trying to convince her that it was not her fault, with no success.
Almost a year later, Keriah found a way to get revenge on the rebels, by joining the CP’s! She thought she would never get accepted, since there were tons of new recruits. Although this discouraged her, she still began getting the trust of the CP’s by doing any job she could for the city. Like cleaning a statue, cleaning the streets, picking up garbage, and cleaning an officer’s uniform. When she had finally gotten her loyalist armband, she was elated!
Before Keriah could begin writing application she began to hear talk from a group of citizens about a rebellion coming from the apartment next to her own. So she decided to spy on them to see if she could find out what they plan on doing. When they were ready to begin their plan they instantly noticed her standing outside their door, and began to attack her knocking her out and throwing her off the catwalk in D2, she then landed on the balcony of the CWU building. When she awoke she could not remember much, but was able to stand up, and walk to her apartment. On the way there a group of citizens were trying to talk to her. She was unable to understand them due to the pain so she ignored them and kept walking to her apartment. When she made it to her apartment she forgot to lock the door. So the group of citizens that were trying to talk to her came in, and turns out they were the ones that threw her off the catwalks. They wanted to talk to her so they could most likely throw her off the catwalks again. So they could finish Keriah off! This time when they threw Keriah off the catwalks and onto the balcony she did not wake up until after they had carried her off the balcony, and over to Nex-hap, so they could cover their tracks and look innocent most likely. A citizen then decided to try her hand at helping Keriah since the CP’s were not doing much to help her by the looks of it. The unknown citizen then brought Keriah to her apartment. Once there Keriah began to slowly regain her ability to understand others and eventually she herself got the ability to speak once more. Although she could only whisper due to her injuries she was able to at least able talk to the citizen that decided to try and help her. Keriah later found out that this person’s name was Alyssa Red. Soon Alyssa brought her to a HELIX CP who was obviously not happy about having to try and heal Keriah. Although he did heal Keriah without questioning how she fractured her skull even though he was told that Keriah fell down the stairs to receive this head injury. After the CP had finished applying the treatment He told Alyssa to make sure Keriah did not fall asleep, since if she did Keriah might fall into a coma and never reawaken. Once Keriah had learned that she could not fall asleep she began to think about her brother’s death in order to make sure she did not fall asleep. When she was thinking she remembered something about the person that shot her brother, it was the figure of a woman that had shot him. Keriah was taken care of well and kept entertained for the most part by Alyssa, who was almost the entire time talking to Keriah, because of this Keriah quickly began to think of Alyssa as a friend. Soon Keriah was able to walk around just fine. Although Keriah had healed her life did not get any better after that.
Well for a bit things were looking up, since her sister had just arrived to the city! So Keriah showed her around some of the city, but then three men had encircled her sister, and began to say things about raping her! Keriah instantly reacted to this and began to help her sister by attacking the men and taking one of them out, encouraging her sister to also begin to fight them. Later someone decided to try and take Keriah’s sister by force, which was a big mistake assuming he had not locked himself in the bathroom of an apartment. Keriah was able to break down the first door but she did not have enough strength left to break down the bathroom door, but Keriah had to try. Soon whoever had taken Keriah’s sister emerged from the room and Keriah saw something that horrified her… It was her sister’s dead body. The scent of bleach was in the air and an empty bottle of bleach was next to Keriah’s dead sister. She had died because she was forced to drink bleach. Keriah fell to her knees crying at the sight. She quickly got back up however and went straight to her apartment. The only emotions she felt was rage and sadness, Keriah only felt the need to do one thing, kill any all rebels, for they had killed the last few members of her family!
Keriah then saw someone she had met once before, Ellis. He at first tried to comfort Keriah just to try and gain her trust. Later When Keriah had fallen asleep Ellis decided it was time to do what he had intended. Which was to kill Keriah, he decided to do this by throwing Keriah off the side off the bridge in D2. She was able to wake up in time to realize what Ellis was doing also allowing herself to brace for the fall and land in a way that it did not hurt her too much. Although she fell unconscious and broke her arm she came out mostly unharmed. By the time she woke up it was at an unknown location. She soon found out that rebels had taken her to a place in D2. So that they could heal her the best they could. Keriah never really learned their names but she did not really care as long as she got out of D2 undetected. Well she did make it out and decided to completely forget about the entire ordeal, well at least the part about being in D2 under the care of rebels. She still wants to kill Ellis for what he did. Now Keriah has just learned the truth about her brother’s killer. It was Alyssa that killed her brother Jason, well assuming her long time friend Sam did not lie to her.
