Write a background story (app. 4+ paragraphs) of your character's life, and how they were captured in the 7 Hour War to become transhumanized:
I was born in New York City into a middle class family, my father was a NYPD police officer and my mother worked at the local hospital. I was a regular child growing up, watching tv, going to the park, snow boarding and everything. However at the age of fourteen I began to get interested in the NYPD because of my father. One day my father bought me to the NYPD police station to tell me all about his job, I immediately after this began researching the job, getting my self physically fit for it, and teaching my self about the weapons they use.
At the age of 18, I went to the police academy, during this time my father had worked his way up the ranks to the Chief of Police, I was very proud. Within seven months I had passed out of the Academy with flying colors and was at the rank of Sergent. I than requested to be a SWAT officer and had to go back to the Academy for more training. Within eight months I was a swat officer. I was very proud of my self.
Several weeks after I had graduated there was a bank robbery at the local Bank of America. Within minutes one-fourth of the entire NYPD force had surrounded the entire building. They had sent in an elite S.W.A.T team, which was us. Several of were inserted through the roof and the plan was to break through the ceiling window to cause a diversion, while several members entered from the front and back area. I was the leader of the roof team, after creating the diversion we entered the building through the roof access. A large firefight broke out lasting nearly thirty minutes. After thirty minutes, two of the swat officers were dead and only two of the bank robbers remained. They went into the bank vault with 3 hostages. A dangerous situation it was. We had two choices, fill the room up with a special type of knock out gas to knock out the hostages and the bank robbers, or blow open the bank vault. We chose to fill the bank vault with the gas, after five minutes we entered and found that they were all on the ground, sleeping from the gas and quickly transported the remaining bank robbers to the local police station. The hostages got medical attention and were quickly told about the entire event, one had requested a therapist.
Two years later I was called out into the street to set up choke-points on the ground and to help direct citizens out of the city. I was later informed that extra-terrestrials were invading New York. I was armed with my MP5 directing citizens out of the city. A large war machine rumbled through the city, one that is now called a strider. I emptied an entire clip at it and than ran away. It did not back down. It started mowing down many of the civilians and blowing up buildings with some sort of laser. Alien soldiers followed behind it.
I hid in an alleyway waiting for the strider to pass, I stuck my head out around the corner and then the next thing I knew I looked behind me and got knocked out with the butt of some sort of weapon. I had later awoken in some sort of prison cell naked. Two of the soldiers took me to a room down a corridor, from there I fell asleep and I awoke a new person. I woke up feeling stronger, healthier and more fit than ever before. Everyone I knew was either dead, resisting, or an OTA unit like me. I am a super solider now for the combine, and I will never forget that now.

OTA KING 14461: Units, proceed to APC, move out.
/it the OTA units move into the APC with the KING unit in it as well. The Airwatch guards the APC and will also attack the outpost from above.
Provide an example of action roleplay as an Overwatch unit (app. 3+ paragraphs or 30 lines):
The OTA units move out to attack the Anti-citizen outpost. The journey takes five minutes to reach. Inside the resistance members are getting ready to go to bed with two of them on guard duty. The Airwatch unit moves in with a combine attack helicopter and begins to shoot down at the outpost. The resistance numbers are much greater than the recon units had counted. The Airwatch unit radios to the KING and reports that the exact number of anti-citizens is thirty-four. The helicopter heavily weakens the defenses, as well as destroying several buildings. The KING unit radios in for dropships on the location.
The APC arrives and the Units get out of it shooting at the houses and resistance members. The turret of the APC begins to fire at them and suppresses them. One of the ECHO units advances closer and is shot clean through the head with a crossbow right in the eye. The units take cover while the Airwatch destroys the building where the shot came from. The drop ships arrive on the opposite side of the outpost. One of the resistance members takes a grenade and throws it into the open pod of the drop ship, killing several of the soldiers and wounding two of them. The dropship flies away with the dead and wounded on board to be treated. The resistance members are shot down by the pulse rounds of the Helicopter and some the OTA units.
Soon there was only 5 resistance members left and they were holed up inside a basement. The KING unit ordered the Airwatch to ripcord back to base. The OTA units stack up on the side of the door and one of them plants a charge on it. The other who is in front of the door throws in a flash-bang and the OTA units quickly move in. The first unit who enters is quickly shot down by blind gun fire. After the resistance members empty they're clips, the rest of the OTA units move in and detain everyone. They take them up onto the surface where they line them up against a wall in front of an APC. One of the resistance members run away only to be shot in the back of the head by the KING unit. The king unit then orders the APC to amputate the resistance members on the wall.
The OTA units take all the resistance members bodies who weren't blown up and then stacked them in a pile. They took an unknown highly flamable fuel and pour it over the dead corpses and then light it. The KING unit orderes all the units to RIPCORD back to base. In the end, the remaining resistance members from other outpost came to check the outpost, only to find the entire place destroyed, and the burned bodies of they're comrades.
