Why do you want to join Echoes’ police faction?:
I've never been within a police faction on a server such as Echoes, and I've seen a lot of my friends enjoy the police department, which has led me to wish to join the police force myself. I've applied once, but was denied due to the fact that I was so new to the server. Ever since then I've been thinking about how I could improve, and now that I've had a taste of the crime side, I'd like to experience the police side. With the server ever so growing, I want to be able to join early and when lots of people start up with crime again, I'd like to be the front lines to the crime and gangrp. I also believe I'd be a good member of the Police Department as I'm active for my timezone, which would helmt because not many police officers are on and usually I'll witness crime with out any Law Enforcement available.
What would you do if you accidentally broke a law, and someone began to argue with you OOC?:
If I broke a law and people argued to me about it, I'd just either explain, If I had a valid reason, or apologise for it if I haven't realised I've broken a law. But as my police character, I don't think I'd be breaking laws at all. If they kept on arguing or DMing me about it though, I would report it to a staff, but also explain the mistake I've made, not blaming it solely on the person whom is arguing.
If someone was insulting you OOC for not following a common law (such as reading their rights) what would you do/say?:
This would depend when, If I have only arrested them and not pressed formal charges, I would say back that I am not obliged to read them their rights unless I was going to question them, or either non-formally or formally press charges against them. If they say something I believe is incriminating, I would read them their rights at that point. Overall, I believe I would not forget something so simple yet essential at gaining evidence against a criminal. If they kept arguing and insulting, I would once again report them to a staff member.
What do you do if you arrest someone? Be short, but detailed:
If I was to arrest someone, I'd first need charges. I can get this by observing them commit said crime, or have multiple witnesses give me a report that I could investigate further into, such as CCTV or later on observing the person and see if they commit any more crimes. If I have enough evidence to place a formal charge, I would then approach the individual and tell them the following. "You are being placed under arrest for [Charge/s]. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights I have read to you?". Simple but gets the point across. I would then handcuff them and transport them to the police jail cells before formally charging them and if needed, interview or interrogate them.
If someone is behaving strangely, as if they were using illegal substances, what do you do?:
Well, if they smelled as if they were, or were acting erratic as under the effects, I would go up and talk to them, as if I was just interested in a chat. If they gave off a smell or spoke irregularly, I would then detain them if needed. I would then give them a Breathalyzer test, and if they refuse, I would arrest them for whichever charge I believe is most applicable if I've seen and smelt signs of Intoxication.
If someone will not give you their identity and you don’t have probable cause, what do you do?:
If I do not have probable cause and they do not wish to show me their identity, I would do nothing about it. Wearing a mask is not a crime and not providing their identity is not illegal, although if I believe they have given me a false identification or name, I would then insist they provide me with real Identification. If they still refuse, I would not pursue and charges as this is their right.
If someone refuses to identify themselves because of the 5th amendment, but you have probable cause, what do you do?:
If I had probable cause they have committed a crime, I would arrest them as always, but add a charge to Failure to provide Identity since I have probable cause and refusal is a criminal charge. If they still will not provide their identity, I would just charge them with it and the other crimes I have probable cause to charge them with.
Provide us with your character’s backstory. Please attempt to limit yourself to more-or-less 1,500 words (maximum 2,500):
Willian Calderon’s story began in 1942, in the cold, rugged wilderness of Alaska. Born in a small, isolated town, the harsh environment became part of his identity. His father, Samuel Calderon, was a former Army infantryman who had settled in Alaska after serving in World War II. Samuel worked as a mechanic, often taking on jobs to maintain snowmobiles and other heavy machinery for oil companies operating in the region. His mother, Maria Calderon, was a warm and nurturing woman who worked as a schoolteacher, teaching the town's children about the world beyond the icy borders of their home.
Life was simple, yet difficult. The long, dark winters seemed to stretch on endlessly, and the summers were brief but intense. Willian grew up learning how to adapt to the unforgiving terrain. From an early age, he was taught survival skills—how to hunt, fish, and build shelters. He wasn’t just raised to survive in Alaska; he was raised to thrive in it.
Tragedy struck when Willian was only seven years old. His mother, Maria, died in a car accident while driving home from a school event in Anchorage. The details were grim—a distracted driver collided with her car on a snow-slick highway. Willian was left with an unfillable hole in his heart, and the loss forever altered the course of his life. His father, Samuel, struggled with the loss of his wife, but he continued to raise Willian with the same toughness and grit that defined his own life.
In the years that followed, Samuel became Willian’s sole parent and mentor. The bond between father and son grew even stronger, as Samuel pushed Willian to become a man of resilience. He taught him not to dwell on grief, but instead to take life by the horns and face its challenges head-on. Willian’s childhood became a lesson in self-sufficiency, survival, and stoicism, all of which would shape him into the man he would become.
As Willian entered his teenage years, his desire to follow in his father’s footsteps grew stronger. Alaska was an unforgiving place, but it was also a place that fostered a deep sense of independence and loyalty. However, Willian knew that the small town couldn’t provide the kind of challenges he craved. At the age of 18, with high school behind him, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, eager to leave the cold isolation of Alaska and find his purpose.
He was accepted into basic training and quickly proved to be one of the best recruits in his class. His time in Alaska had already prepared him for the physical and mental toughness that the military demanded. His ability to endure, think on his feet, and lead others came naturally to him. At 19, Willian shipped off to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, for Special Forces training.
Becoming a Green Beret was no easy task. The rigorous selection process tested every aspect of Willian’s abilities—his intelligence, physical endurance, and mental resilience. He excelled in each area, driven by the ghost of his mother’s untimely death and the lessons his father had instilled in him. Willian’s mind was focused on one thing: the ability to operate in the most extreme environments, to be a soldier who could not only survive but also dominate in the toughest situations.
In 1962, at the age of 20, Willian was officially inducted into the United States Army Special Forces. His journey had only just begun, but his time in the military would define the rest of his life.
As a Green Beret, Willian served multiple tours in various conflict zones around the globe—Vietnam, Latin America, and the Middle East. His missions ranged from reconnaissance to direct-action strikes, often working in remote and hostile environments where few soldiers dared to venture. Over the years, Willian became renowned for his ability to adapt to complex and rapidly changing situations, often leading his team to success when others faltered.
By the late 1960s, after years of exemplary service, Willian received an invitation to join one of the most elite units in the military—Delta Force. Formed in 1977, Delta Force was the U.S. military’s premier counter-terrorism unit, tasked with conducting high-risk missions that required precision, skill, and a level of secrecy that few could understand. Willian was intrigued by the idea of working in this new and uncharted field.
Joining Delta Force required a different level of mental and physical preparation. The selection process was even more brutal than anything Willian had faced in his Green Beret training. The tests pushed recruits to their limits, both physically and mentally, forcing them to confront their worst fears and deepest insecurities. Willian rose to the challenge, driven by the desire to serve his country in the most demanding way possible.
By the time Willian was in his early 30s, he had earned a reputation as one of the most capable and versatile operators in Delta Force. His expertise in unconventional warfare, survival tactics, and leadership made him an invaluable asset to the unit. Willian was not only a soldier but also a mentor, often guiding younger operators through their own grueling training regimens.
Despite the growing success of his military career, Willian remained deeply affected by the loss of his mother. The wounds from her death never fully healed, but he channeled his grief into his work, determined to make her proud in the only way he knew how: by being the best.
Throughout his 20 years with Delta Force, Willian Calderon found himself on the frontlines of some of the most dangerous conflicts of the 20th century. He served in covert operations across the globe, from the jungles of Southeast Asia to the deserts of the Middle East. His team executed high-stakes missions—rescues, hostage situations, and precision strikes that often involved little more than a handful of men against overwhelming odds.
In 1980, Willian played a pivotal role in the failed Operation Eagle Claw, a mission aimed at rescuing American hostages in Iran. While the mission ended in tragedy, with the loss of eight servicemen, Willian’s determination and leadership never wavered. In the years that followed, he continued to operate on the cutting edge of counter-terrorism efforts, participating in operations across Africa, Asia, and Europe.
His success in these operations earned him multiple commendations, but it also took a personal toll. The nature of the work was exhausting, physically and mentally, and the constant threat of death weighed heavily on him. He had seen friends fall in battle, and the loss of comrades never became any easier. But through it all, Willian kept moving forward, motivated by his sense of duty and the desire to protect his country.
By the late 1990s, Willian was nearing the end of his military career. At 42 years old, he had reached the age where most Special Forces operators would begin to consider retirement. The years of combat had taken their toll on his body. His joints ached from countless missions, and his mental reserves were starting to run low. But Willian was not a man who could simply walk away from the life he had known for so long.
In 1984, after a long and storied career, Willian Calderon was honorably discharged from the Army. He had given nearly 23 years of his life to serving his country, and now, it was time to start a new chapter. His father, Samuel, had passed away a few years earlier, leaving Willian the last living member of the Calderon family. With no real connections or ties to Alaska anymore, Willian decided to start over.
Willian moved to East Falls, a rapidly developing city in the Pacific Northwest, where he hoped to find peace and stability after decades of combat. East Falls was a place on the rise—new businesses were opening, and the city was quickly becoming a hub for tech companies and young professionals. It was a place that offered Willian a chance to leave the chaos of his past behind and begin anew.
Though Willian had left the military, the lessons he learned during his years of service still shaped every aspect of his life. He found work as a private security consultant, often advising high-profile clients on how to secure their homes and businesses. But as much as he tried to put his past behind him, he couldn’t escape the urge to stay involved with the military community. The drive for service, for purpose, never truly faded.
Willian eventually settled into the slower pace of life in East Falls, but his experiences remained a haunting presence. He would occasionally return to Alaska, visiting the rugged landscapes that had shaped him as a child. He found solace in the mountains, the forests, and the lakes—the same places that had once offered him refuge as a boy. But life in East Falls offered its own rewards: a sense of belonging, of community, and perhaps even redemption.
As the years passed, Willian Calderon became a legend in his own right—a man whose experiences shaped him into one of the most formidable soldiers of his time. His name became synonymous with bravery, leadership, and dedication. Though his days as a Green Beret and Delta Force operative were behind him, the legacy of Willian Calderon would live on, in the quiet corners of the world where true heroes are always remembered.
