Phil Lombard's SANews Application

Post by Sean_Sharpton »

I have read the topic tagged "READ THIS FIRST."

IC:
Character name: Phil Lombard
Date of birth: 9/18/79
Phone number: 791458
Address/general location (optional): Pershing Square.
Favorite personal saying: "Another day, another dollar."


OOC:
Names of any alts you have/had on SZR: Hao_Shinatago (Four Dragon Brotherhood.) Luis_Alvarez (Vagos.)
Previous roleplay experience, including other servers (optional): I have only been playing SAMP for two and a half months now. SZR is the only server that I actually play on. However, I started roleplaying on a dated mod for the game Half-Life 1. I have roleplayed many different jobs but nothing excited me more like being a news castor on NukeCity of NukeSilo's TSRP server.
Will your news character be your primary character? (optional): Honestly, I play about 10 hours a day on weekends. About 7 hours of the ten will be spent on this character.

IC:
A brief description of what brought you here. (Was it a recommendation? A wanted ad? Simple whimsy? Something else?): Being a big fan of the news, during my move into Los Santos I quickly became a listener of SANews. I have always thought being a journalist would be an amazing career. (IRL as well.) After hearing one of the broadcasts I figured I would drop my resume and application this way. I've also always wanted to use those four years of journalism I took during my time in Cambridge Unversity.

A brief description of why you feel you'd be an asset to our team (feel free to include relevant skills and/or achievements): I feel that I would be an active member of the SANews team. I would work as hard as I can to get a story or the information that goes into that story.

An example of your writing in the two formats ((Article format, no less than 50 words, and in-game /news format, no less than 7 lines. See below for examples. Update: Wackiness (being outrageous) won't get you hired, and please try not to report on the common subjects - Nurgle, UFOs, combat situations, action stories, etc. Made up interviews will NOT be accepted.)):

-Shooting in the Magnolia!-
An SANews Exclusive
Phil Lombard

The world of Hip-Hop has always been full of sex, drugs, and violence, but last night Los Santos saw it first hand. A newcomer to the world of Hip-Hop, Prophesy was willing to do what ever it took to prove his worth. He called out anyone willing to challenge him to come to the Magnolia, home of the infamous Magnolia Crew, and battle him in a battle of rhymes. Prophesy's call was answered by a member of the organization known as "the Pinoy". Prophesy agreed to battle him, convinced a victory was a certain.

Everyone in the Magnolia circled the two and watched them face off. A beat was dropped, and dropped hard it was. The two exchanged rhymes about each others mommas, and each other's baby's mommas, and mommas of all sorts! However, both Prophesy and his opponent proved to painfully wack. They were booed away and Prophesy, angered, stormed off. Around the corner of a building where the battle had taken place, a new one had just begun. A masked man, bearing a fully-automatic submachine opened fire on Prophesy. The whole clip was emptied into Prophesy's chest and as the empty clip hit the pavement, so did Prophesy. The masked assalant sprinted way and has yet to found. Prophesy is now in critical condition in the Los Santos General Hospital and is being treated for his gunshot wounds.
