The Lore/Canon
Earth. The year is 2016, and the planet is over-run with sadistic aliens that are strikingly similar to robots. These aliens have killed off most of the human race, and have herded 90% of the remaining human population into giant cities where the humans are commanded and are forced to live under the rule of the alien race, which came to be known as the "Combine." About 20% of the people who were herded into the cities are part of a group that is working to save humanity and free it from the reign of the Combine, known commonly and quite frankly as the "Resistance." The 10% of the remaining human population who were lucky enough to avoid being herded into the cities, are living in a complete wasteland that barely looks like the planet they once knew, needless to say they also make up part of the "Resistance."
Before this all happened, in 2013, a scientific development laboratory in Oregon; known as Millennium Mesa. The scientists at the laboratory were looking for a way to easily teleport themselves and heavy loads to planets in and outside of the Milkyway galaxy. They eventually found a method that might allow them to do exactly that, the method involved launching a rocket propelled probe into space. When the probe would reach its destination, it would transmit its location back to a separate device that when stood on, would teleport whoever stood on it within 30 yds of the probe.
When the scientists running the facility thought that they had done enough research to actually test the device, they sent an active probe out of the milkyway galaxy. After a few days, which is the amount of time that the probe was expected to take to reach it’s destination on a planet that was inside Andromeda. The probe had not hit the planet yet, nor had it shown any sign of being destroyed. The scientists were baffled by this, they did not know what had happened. They eventually abandoned the project with broken hearts to continue development on other projects. What they did not know, is that the probe was intercepted by one of the Combine’s teleportation networks. Considering the fact that the Combine were rather technologically advanced compared to the humans, they had already worked out a way to make a teleportation device that created what were basically invisible hallways that branched through space. When one of the Combine wanted to teleport, they stepped onto a large platform and traveled through the “hallways” at warp speed, arriving at their destinations within a few seconds. The probe interfered with the network in ways that would result in catastrophe back on Earth. The combine detected the probe, and retrieved it; researching it’s sources and functions.
The part of the network the probe interfered with, was from one of the Combine’s planets, leading straight to a planet in the same galaxy that was inhabited by multiple species of aliens that were referred to in general by the Combine as “Xen Creatures.” There were many types of Xen creatures, in fact; there were millions. The Xen creatures were a very strange series of species. Each one of the creatures were a different race, except for a few rare group of species. There were three known groups of species, the Vortiguants, the Necromnics, and the Antlions. The Combine were planning on turning the Vortiguants, who seemed to be the only intelligent Xen lifeform; into a slave of sorts. A creature who’s only purpose would be to server and do labor for the Combine. The Vortiguants fought back, as they were rather powerful beings, capable of using their hands to fire electric beams, and many other things similar to that. They were so powerful, that the Combine were about ready to give up on the capture. That’s when the probe hit. They set up one of their networks that lead straight to Earth, and well, they used it.
The Combine did not just begin an all out invasion right away, though. They wanted to see what the human race was capable of, how much of a threat they were. So they De-stabilized the network branch leading to Earth, causing multiple rift-like disturbances throughout Earth's sky. These rifts sent down beams of blinding light, vaporizing anything below it. The humans labeled this period of time, when the rifts where opening and closing all over the sky at random points, the "Portal Storms." After a week or two of watching the human's reactions to the rifts, the Combine re-stabilized the branch and proceeded with their invasion. Sending down ships and ground units by the thousands. The humans were quickly overwhelmed, since they weren't prepared for this invasion, and were weakened because of the Portal Storms. The Combine spent weeks slaughtering every human they found, to lower the population to a controllable number. Once most of the humans were killed off, most of them were processed into the cities. Only the humans in the prime of their lifetime were accepted into the cities. Any human under 18 years of age, and over the age of 60 were killed off, considering the Combine's plan for the humans required the humans to be semi-healthy. This also meant that anyone with dire illnesses or anyone was overweight were slaughtered. Earth had reached it's darkest age...
The Combine quickly started issuing laws and orders. Ranging from laws that require every legal citizen of the city to wear a blue jumpsuit, to a law that prohibited conversing with any alleged member of the Resistance, which was an offense punishable by public execution. Combine soldiers preferred to do executions publicly to show their dominance over the humans, and to detour any plans that involve rebellion or anarchy against the Combine forces. The Resistance did not lay quiet for long, however. As the Resistance grew, it became more active. There were a few cases in which a Combine unit who is about to execute someone has a sniper bullet put through their head before they can pull the trigger. The Combine noted every single one of these crimes. The Resistance often hid out in the slums of the cities, which the Combine only entered in large groups, because they knew that going into the slums with only a few soldiers would be suicide. For this reason, they created a new type of Combine soldier. The Combine named these elite soldiers: "Overwatch."
The Overwatch consisted of heavily brainwashed humans that were trained vigorously and were feared even more than the standard Combine officer by the humans. This troubled the Resistance greatly, as the Overwatch built catwalks that networked throughout the cities, attached to multiple buildings. They were constantly patrolling, watching for any sign of the Resistance, and were often raiding the slums, detaining if not executing all resistance members that are found. The Resistance fought back, also raiding the Combine's main bases within the cities, which was nicknamed "The Nexus" due to the hellish things that went on inside of the place. The Resistance obtained more equipment, and was able to grow even more.
The Resistance and Combine continue to battle it out in the multiple cities, may the best race win...
(Before you even reply to this thread, please note that this roleplay is heavily inspired by the Half Life series, I just made a few changes to make the roleplay a bit more interesting and fun.)(Also note, that this is not all of the backstory, I am adding little segments of backstory and explanation later on in this post. Before you read the rest, also know that I have moved all of the pictures to the bottom of the OP to make the text a bit more comfortable to read.)
Citizens
Citizens are the humans that were accepted into the city, and follow all of the Combine's laws. They do not try to rebel against the Combine, they live their life, eat their rations, and basically live to exist, and exist to live. Citizens are allowed by the Combine to have a room, along with one or two other people, in the city's hotel, Citizens are allowed a daily ration that includes 10 coins, a nutrition supplement, and a standard issue can of Combine water. Citizens are required to carry their citizen ID at all times, and wear an issued blue jumpsuit and boots.
Possible Ranks:
- Standard Citizen (As seen above)
- UCL Citizen (Basically a citizen trusted by the Combine to do special types of labor such as cleaning and selling goods. UCL = Universal Combine Laborers)
The Combine
The Combine are the evil aliens that mostly everyone is afraid of, and are rather robot-like in appearance. The standard Combine unit maintains order within the city, and reports to higher ranked units when called. The higher a Combine's rank is, the more brainwashed the unit is. They have to brainwash the units because they aren't actually combine, all MpF and OTA units are humans recruited by force by the Combine. There are different divisions in the Combine forces (Explained later on) Combine Units carry different equipment and wear different armor depending on their rank/division. All units carry a stunstick (As seen in picture below) that is used to beat citizens and Resistance members. Delivers a shock on impact, 4 decent hits to the head with one and you're KO'd. All units also carry 9 mm. pistols that were developed by the Combine, it is fast-firing and can not jam due to it's design. All units are required to carry a handheld radio at all times.
Combine Divisions:
Helix - The Combine equivalent of the airforce. You are the ones who pilot helicopters and supply ships.
Grid - The Engineering/Mechanical/Weaponry division. You build things for the Combine forces, including weapons and armor.
Apex - The Executive/planning division. You are responsible for planning most of the events/processes the combine forces go through. You also help train new units.
Sword - The weaponry divison. You manufacture weapons and ammo. You also repair things that have been broken/damaged.
Shield - The Medical division. You aid other units when they are injured/ill, and if a citizen needs to be kept alive, you will aid them aswell. (Keep in mind, you are still a sadistic alien, you don't show compassion towards any citizen, you just follow your orders if you are told to help them.)
King - The Supervising division. You monitor other divisions and make sure they are doing their job. (This doesn't mean you have authority over other divisions, you just make sure they aren't slipping up.)
Nova - The 1st Guard division - You are a unit who does everything any other unit would do, but you specialize in guarding important areas in the Nexus, such as the living quarters of the SeC.
Jury - The Law division - You make most of the decisions when it comes to punishment. You decide how long detainment lasts, you decide when and where executions are made, and best of all, you get to carry out public executions. You also come up with new laws that might help prevent Resistance outbreaks.
Ghost - The Spy division - You sneak around the city in your special armor that hides the view of you, making sure no one is plotting against the Combine. (I can see problems with this, you can't just go around and hear everything everyone is saying, you don't spy that often. You're used more for assassinations, so don't do the latter, please.)
Victor - The Treasurey division - You manage all the local equipment trades and such. You also decided how much supplies local UCL stores get.
Union - The Mass division - You are a basic combine soldier, you do what you are commanded to do, you patrol. You raid if told to, etc.
Legion - The EOW division - You are amongst one of the rarest divisions, and you are trained to handle any in-city conflicts.
Combine Ranks:
RcT - Fresh meat, you are an untrained unit who is barely brainwashed.
04 - You have very, very basic training, and have been on a few patrols.
03 - You are about a quarter of the way through your training, you are almost completely brainwashed.
02 - You are nearly done with your training, and you are completely brainwashed. This is the point in which you will probably receive your augments. (Basically, surgery and chemicals that increase your physical endurance/strength.)
01 - You are finished with your training. At this point, you are a hellish being who is cruel and unforgiving towards any human, even some lower ranked units than you. (You are allowed to boss around units that are rank 03 - RcT
OfC - You are a heavily augmented unit and you are highly skilled in your division's duty. (You can boss around others in your division that are ranked below you. You can also boss other units in other divisions around, but not if they are over the rank of 02, you are also encouraged to only boss around units in your division, because other OfCs like to boss their division around.)
EpU - You are quite experienced and basically supervise all units below your rank. (Basically, the same as DvL, except DvL still has seniority over you, and you do not run divisions.)
DvL - You are amongst the most skilled and wise units, you run the division you are in. Meaning you have complete power over it. However, you only have power over your division, you do not have the right to change things in other divisions. (Meaning you can't tell another entirely different division to do something, you can't command an ofc in a different division, but you can if he's in yours.)
GeN - You are the assistant of the SeC. You have more skills than the DvLs, and you are in charge of the DvLs and every other unit.
SeC - You are the boss. You run everything that goes on in the city, and you basically own the Combine forces in that city.
Your means of identification amongst the Combine is rather important, considering your armor similarities. Each unit has a unique label, that states their rank, division, city they belong to, and custom ID number. So a unit in a metropolitan city, rank: 01 in the Helix division, would be: MpF (Metropolitan Police Force).(The period to seperate each section of the name)Helix.01.019914 ( all ID numbers are six digits long, no letters in the ID "Number".) So the end result would be: MpF.Helix.01.019914.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Overwatch Trans-human Arm
The Overwatch Trans-Human Arm (OTA) are the closest thing to true combines. They are completely brainwashed creatures who have been heavily augmented, meaning they have incredible strength and speed. Along with superhuman reaction time and planning ability. Most of their organs have been removed to optimize efficiency. They wear heavier and thicker armor than the standard MpF unit, and carry all of the same equipment. Except all OTA units carry either a non-jammable Spas-12 shotgun or an Ar2 pulse rifle. ( Both shown at the bottom of op, under OTA/Combine)
Picture 2: (What Elite units look like. The weapon he is holdings is the Ar2 pulse rifle, it has a primary and secondary trigger. Primary trigger causes the rifle to fire dark-matter bullets, which are as powerful as regular bullets, they are just easier to make. Secondary trigger causes the bottom barrel on the rifle to fire a large ball of dark matter, that vaporizes any being it comes into contact with. The ball will bounce around if fired at a wall, and will explode after x amount of contacts with a hard physical surface, depending on the speed of it.)
There are only 3 divisions in the OTA.
Echo, Nomad, and Javelin. None of them really have a special purpose, they are just team names used by the Overwatch Elites to easily be able to communicate with their squad during raids. However, the Javelin division tends to use shotguns more often than not, so they are known as the shotgunning division.
There are only 2 ranks in the OTA.
The first rank is a basic Overwatch unit, and the second is an elite Overwatch unit. (BoU & EoU) That being the case, it takes a long while for a BoU to rank up to a EoU. Keep in mind, that you have to be one of the best MpF units in order to be accepted to the Overwatch.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
The Resistance
The Resistance are the people who are basically holding the Combine back and keeping them from completely ruling over all of humanity. Without them, the entire human race would be turned into stalkers. (Stalkers are shown at the bottom of this post, under Combine.)
The Resistance do not wear blue jumpsuits, as they are the resistance and hardly follow any of the Combine's laws, all the time anyways. The Resistance cannot just constantly roam the slums with their weapons out, the Resistance more often than not lives amongst the other regular citizens, except smuggling illegal foods and real water to malnourished citizens to keep them alive. There will be a few occasions where all of the Resistance members will have their weapons ready to fire, these occasions mostly occurred when sweeps were going on in the slums. The Resistance also has many hidden bases in the slums, they have to in order to keep their workings hidden from the Overwatch sweeps. Members of the Resistance often use the same weapons the MpF & OTA do, and maybe a few more.
A few additional weapons the Resistance tends to use: (1st is a make-shift crossbow that uses heated bolts as ammo. 2nd is a .357 Python-Magnum Revolver. (Pictures at bottom of post, under resistance).
The Resistance also wears some armor and Kevlar when needed.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Xen
There are three different grouped Xen lifeforms, that ended up hiding amongst the wastelands of Earth. (The only race I'm going to be accepting applications for is the Vortiguant race, otherwise this rp would turn into some kind of animal rp. I might accept applications for the other two IF or WHEN the roleplay gets going.) They all look rather strange. The Resistance are use to the Vortiguants because they are the only seemingly intelligent Xen lifeform, and decided to head in-city to aid the Resistance in their battles against the Combine. (Some of the vortiguants were captured, and are slaves for the combine already. But they are kept inside the nexus, and are forced to wear collars and shackles to prevent them from using their powers. Pictures below.) There are also three different types of Antlion, the warrior, worker, & guard. (Pictures Below antlion) There are 3 different types of Necromnics, they are frankly labeled: Classic, Poison, & Fast; by the humans. ( Pictures under Headcrab in Xen.)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Well, you've made it this far, hopefully you have read all of the above content. As you can probably see in all the above content if you did read it, I tried to add as many pictures as possible to make what I was saying semi-understandable. I will be adding a basic layout of the city that the RP is going to start out in, and yes, if the rp is successful, I will most likely be expanding the areas the roleplay is taking place in. I realize that this thread is rather messy, and I plan on cleaning it up upon full release, so bear with me, please. I do have a few more In-Character details that I need to mention before I get into applications and rules. Don't worry, the reading is almost over.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
City Laws
As Established by the MpF.
The MPF are your superiours. You do what they say, and nothing else. Punishment: Depending on severity, the criminal will be beaten/detained.
Any clothing/food/supplies etc. not checked and legalized by the MPF is considered contraband. Anyone who possesses any of this contraband will be punished depending on what exactly the contraband is.
Any contact with the "Resistance" or the spreading of Resistance propaganda is prohibited and is punishable by long detainment cycles and possibly execution.
All citizens must carry their Identification with them at all times. Punishable by detainment.
Any un-approved entry or activity involving the Nexus is punishable by detainment, beatings, and execution depending on severity.
Any means of obtaining coins besides ration distribution and sales monitored by the MPF is prohibited. Punishable by detainment, beatings, coin deduction, and execution.
Running is not prohibited. Punishable by beatings and detainment.
Loitering is not prohibited. Punishable by beatings and detainment.
Any citizen to step foot on the catwalks established by the Overwatch Transhuman Arm is to be detained/executed immediately.
If you are found or reported in the slums, you will be detained and questioned. If you prove not to be in the Resistance, you will be released with a beating and coin deduction.
If you are an alleged member of the Resistance, you will be questioned, tortured, detained, or executed immediately.
Assault on a MPF unit or UCL member results in beating, detainment, or execution depending on severity.
Any contraband found will be taken and destroyed. You will also be beaten, detained, or executed depending on the contraband.
Any propaganda that discriminates against the Combine forces in general will be destroyed and will have it's sources tracked, the sources will be beaten or detained.
(More to be added, and in general, it's communist land. I could go on forever typing these laws, or you guys can save what's left of my fingers by inferring what sadistic/communist alien robots wouldn't want you to do in a city established by them.)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________ Contraband
All contraband falls under a minor punishment, medium punishment, a major punishment, and death. So there are four levels of contraband. A minor, or level four piece of contraband, would result in a beating and ceasing of the contraband. A level three piece of contraband would result in a beating, detainment, and ceasing of the contraband. A level two piece of contraband would result in a severe beating, a few cycles of detainment, and ceasing of the contraband, along with a token deduction. A level 1 piece of contraband would result in severe beatings, interrogation, and execution.
4. Any small pieces of clothing such as jewelry or shoes not approved by the MPF
3. Any food articles or major clothing not approved by the MPF.
2. Any chemicals, tools, or melee weapons.
1. Any guns, ammo, or Resistance propaganda clothing.
A few things you should know as a Citizen or Resistance member:
You are afraid of the Combine, if not completely terrified, you atleast slightly fear them.
All Citizens are malnourished, and MPF units that are of ranks 02+ are heavily augmented, meaning that you only have a 1 in 100 chance in beating a unit in a fight, unless weapons are involved.
Being a citizen might seem rather boring and repetitive, I realize that, but really, think about it. You are a human amongst many others that is trying to survive under the reign of a dangerous alien race, you know that if you follow their rules and laws, that they will let you live and breathe. You make friends with other citizens, talking of your lives before the war. You are always careful not to make the combine angry, because you want to either be trusted, or be a silent member or helper of the Resistance.
If you are accepted into the Resistance, you aren't some super awesome trained triggerhappy person who walks around in the slums of the city and shooting everything that moves. You are a Resistance member who slowly gains respect and trust amongst other members. Your primary objective is to help citizens who are ill or who need nourishment to stay alive and well to prevent being executed for illness. When you're not doing that, you're plotting against the MPF, planning to save someone's life during an execution, or to lower the number of units. Raids/pillages of the city do NOT
happen very often.
As a citizen, don't just wander into the slums. You know that there are Resistance defenses that won't appreciate you being there, they won't shoot you, but you still don't want a gun pointed at your head. Also, you don't want to be beaten and detained by the MPF, and odds are if you go into the slums, you're going to be caught and the MPF are going to do exactly that.

why not just call it a halflife2 roleplay...
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Arguments happen, they just do, you can't stop it, no matter how much power you have, even if it takes years to settle, when it does, everyone is stronger for it. Rivalries can be made into friendships if you let them.
Some ideas are meant to be made into reality, but most need to be burned at the stake.

You obviously didn't read the entire post. I did state that it is based off of Half life 2, I just changed a lot of things that made it more rp-able and interesting.
((question is this pre-"gordon"(because i noticed your avoiding using the propernames) or post-"gordon"? because i might actually join this))

I'm actually a she, also, I did avoid using any of the actual characters from the Half life series. That's because I don't want an HL2game roleplay, I want a HL2 roleplay that is, well, hl2 roleplay. You see, if the characters that were in the actual game were in this roleplay, people would act as them, which might change the entire theme of the roleplay. Since the half life series is not completed yet, it wouldn't be correct to "assume" whats going to happen next. By removing the main characters, I basically make a solid roleplaying foundation. That may not make any sense, but just trust me. Also, don't worry about using (( Marks )) yet, since the roleplay hasn't started. :smile.gif:
We can have major events like that, of course yes. The suppression field does work, for the most part. White Forest does exist, but it's basically not heard of, like, ever. So if there is a chance that it is found in character, thats going to be the only way for people to know of it. So, yeah. I'm going to update the thread a little later today. I made a few mistakes posting the pictures. Tell your friends!

OOC:
First/Nick Name: Zyg
Age: 21
Roleplaying Experience: almost every day since I was 6 (yeah, I have an extreme amount of experience)
ICC:
Character Race: citizen
Character Name: Dan Kirth
Character Age: 19
Character Biography: He never got out much when he was young, still doesn't. Never really a people person, he spent most of his time inside building stuff. This obviously resulted in no friends, but he didn't care. When the Combine came he hid in his shed's basement for a month, and when he was finally found he had built a fully functional robot that could shoot a gun if it was given one. The combine decided that, so long as he fixed their stuff and made them stuff, he would be allowed to live and become one of the UCL and be allowed to turn part of his home into a sort of repair shop. When he discovered the Resistance he began to leave small parcels of minor things like bit of scrap, a knife, pieces of a gun, simple stuff that he could easily remake. He put the parcels around the city, making sure to wear gloves when he handled them.
Character Personality: Hates the Combine with a passion, but it doesn't show at all. He is extremely inventive and intellectually capable, but physically weak.
Character Appearance: A tall, extremely pale adult male with short dark blonde hair, light weight, dark blue eyes.
Roleplaying Experience: Welll... Roleplaying is the most type of forum I post on!
IC:
Character Race: Combine, MpF.Nova.RcT.019914. ? I'm not sure if this is right or not! Please tell me!
Character Name: Jarez.
Character Age: 35
Character Biography: Jarez was brainwashed when he was twenty. he was tooken from his apartment and been sent to the combine HQ to get brainwashed. Jarez was frightened. What would they do to him? Why are they doing this to him? Jarez has been barely brainwashed. He's an RcT. He hasn't even complete his training yet! He doesn't know how to use most devices and Gadgets, Even one time he got shocked by his own Stunstick!!
Jarez was not put up for this job, so they moved him to the king division, because all he had to do was monitor the other combine! but he even wasn't too good for that... At the age of twenty nine, he's half way through his training. He wan't really made to be a combine. he was a clumsy human, And NOW he's a clumsy Combine! He tries to take training seriously but it's just his lack of stregnth, agility and intelligence which is keeping him behind. He'll never get ranked up and recieve his augments; sometimes he wonders why he can't have the augments now to speed up everything of his!
Character Personality: He isn't very aggressive, he is kind of clumsy, and he takes everything seriously. he's kind of the most N00BY of all the combine.
Character Appearance: He looks like a standard MPF officer, but they don't let him carry stunsticks, or a 9mm for his lack of training. H has a radio though on his left arm near his soldier.
Accepted.
I might have to increase your rank a bit, seeing as someone is going to need to train the RcTs. We'll see.

Arguments happen, they just do, you can't stop it, no matter how much power you have, even if it takes years to settle, when it does, everyone is stronger for it. Rivalries can be made into friendships if you let them.
Some ideas are meant to be made into reality, but most need to be burned at the stake.

((I was kinda hoping to be able to become an antlion who was trained to be with the resistance. After all, if you can train head crabs, you could probably take a grub from birth and train it. Ah well.))

Character Name: Dan Kirth
Character Age: 19
Character Biography: He never got out much when he was young, still doesn't. Never really a people person, he spent most of his time inside building stuff. This obviously resulted in no friends, but he didn't care. When the Combine came he hid in his shed's basement for a month, and when he was finally found he had built a fully functional robot that could shoot a gun if it was given one. The combine decided that, so long as he fixed their stuff and made them stuff, he would be allowed to live and become one of the UCL and be allowed to turn part of his home into a sort of repair shop. When he discovered the Resistance he began to leave small parcels of minor things like bit of scrap, a knife, pieces of a gun, simple stuff that he could easily remake. He put the parcels around the city, making sure to wear gloves when he handled them.
Character Personality: Hates the Combine with a passion, but it doesn't show at all. He is extremely inventive and intellectually capable, but physically weak.
Character Appearance: A tall, extremely pale adult male with short dark blonde hair, light weight, dark blue eyes.

Enjoy!
Before this all happened, in 2013, a scientific development laboratory in Oregon; known as Millennium Mesa. The scientists at the laboratory were looking for a way to easily teleport themselves and heavy loads to planets in and outside of the Milkyway galaxy. They eventually found a method that might allow them to do exactly that, the method involved launching a rocket propelled probe into space. When the probe would reach its destination, it would transmit its location back to a separate device that when stood on, would teleport whoever stood on it within 30 yds of the probe.
When the scientists running the facility thought that they had done enough research to actually test the device, they sent an active probe out of the milkyway galaxy. After a few days, which is the amount of time that the probe was expected to take to reach it’s destination on a planet that was inside Andromeda. The probe had not hit the planet yet, nor had it shown any sign of being destroyed. The scientists were baffled by this, they did not know what had happened. They eventually abandoned the project with broken hearts to continue development on other projects. What they did not know, is that the probe was intercepted by one of the Combine’s teleportation networks. Considering the fact that the Combine were rather technologically advanced compared to the humans, they had already worked out a way to make a teleportation device that created what were basically invisible hallways that branched through space. When one of the Combine wanted to teleport, they stepped onto a large platform and traveled through the “hallways” at warp speed, arriving at their destinations within a few seconds. The probe interfered with the network in ways that would result in catastrophe back on Earth. The combine detected the probe, and retrieved it; researching it’s sources and functions.
The part of the network the probe interfered with, was from one of the Combine’s planets, leading straight to a planet in the same galaxy that was inhabited by multiple species of aliens that were referred to in general by the Combine as “Xen Creatures.” There were many types of Xen creatures, in fact; there were millions. The Xen creatures were a very strange series of species. Each one of the creatures were a different race, except for a few rare group of species. There were three known groups of species, the Vortiguants, the Necromnics, and the Antlions. The Combine were planning on turning the Vortiguants, who seemed to be the only intelligent Xen lifeform; into a slave of sorts. A creature who’s only purpose would be to server and do labor for the Combine. The Vortiguants fought back, as they were rather powerful beings, capable of using their hands to fire electric beams, and many other things similar to that. They were so powerful, that the Combine were about ready to give up on the capture. That’s when the probe hit. They set up one of their networks that lead straight to Earth, and well, they used it.
The Combine did not just begin an all out invasion right away, though. They wanted to see what the human race was capable of, how much of a threat they were. So they De-stabilized the network branch leading to Earth, causing multiple rift-like disturbances throughout Earth's sky. These rifts sent down beams of blinding light, vaporizing anything below it. The humans labeled this period of time, when the rifts where opening and closing all over the sky at random points, the "Portal Storms." After a week or two of watching the human's reactions to the rifts, the Combine re-stabilized the branch and proceeded with their invasion. Sending down ships and ground units by the thousands. The humans were quickly overwhelmed, since they weren't prepared for this invasion, and were weakened because of the Portal Storms. The Combine spent weeks slaughtering every human they found, to lower the population to a controllable number. Once most of the humans were killed off, most of them were processed into the cities. Only the humans in the prime of their lifetime were accepted into the cities. Any human under 18 years of age, and over the age of 60 were killed off, considering the Combine's plan for the humans required the humans to be semi-healthy. This also meant that anyone with dire illnesses or anyone was overweight were slaughtered. Earth had reached it's darkest age...
The Combine quickly started issuing laws and orders. Ranging from laws that require every legal citizen of the city to wear a blue jumpsuit, to a law that prohibited conversing with any alleged member of the Resistance, which was an offense punishable by public execution. Combine soldiers preferred to do executions publicly to show their dominance over the humans, and to detour any plans that involve rebellion or anarchy against the Combine forces. The Resistance did not lay quiet for long, however. As the Resistance grew, it became more active. There were a few cases in which a Combine unit who is about to execute someone has a sniper bullet put through their head before they can pull the trigger. The Combine noted every single one of these crimes. The Resistance often hid out in the slums of the cities, which the Combine only entered in large groups, because they knew that going into the slums with only a few soldiers would be suicide. For this reason, they created a new type of Combine soldier. The Combine named these elite soldiers: "Overwatch."
The Overwatch consisted of heavily brainwashed humans that were trained vigorously and were feared even more than the standard Combine officer by the humans. This troubled the Resistance greatly, as the Overwatch built catwalks that networked throughout the cities, attached to multiple buildings. They were constantly patrolling, watching for any sign of the Resistance, and were often raiding the slums, detaining if not executing all resistance members that are found. The Resistance fought back, also raiding the Combine's main bases within the cities, which was nicknamed "The Nexus" due to the hellish things that went on inside of the place. The Resistance obtained more equipment, and was able to grow even more.
The Resistance and Combine continue to battle it out in the multiple cities, may the best race win...
(Before you even reply to this thread, please note that this roleplay is heavily inspired by the Half Life series, I just made a few changes to make the roleplay a bit more interesting and fun.)(Also note, that this is not all of the backstory, I am adding little segments of backstory and explanation later on in this post. Before you read the rest, also know that I have moved all of the pictures to the bottom of the OP to make the text a bit more comfortable to read.)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Citizens
Citizens are the humans that were accepted into the city, and follow all of the Combine's laws. They do not try to rebel against the Combine, they live their life, eat their rations, and basically live to exist, and exist to live. Citizens are allowed by the Combine to have a room, along with one or two other people, in the city's hotel, Citizens are allowed a daily ration that includes 10 coins, a nutrition supplement, and a standard issue can of Combine water. Citizens are required to carry their citizen ID at all times, and wear an issued blue jumpsuit and boots.
Possible Ranks:
- Standard Citizen (As seen above)
- UCL Citizen (Basically a citizen trusted by the Combine to do special types of labor such as cleaning and selling goods. UCL = Universal Combine Laborers)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
The Combine
The Combine are the evil aliens that mostly everyone is afraid of, and are rather robot-like in appearance. The standard Combine unit maintains order within the city, and reports to higher ranked units when called. The higher a Combine's rank is, the more brainwashed the unit is. They have to brainwash the units because they aren't actually combine, all MpF and OTA units are humans recruited by force by the Combine. There are different divisions in the Combine forces (Explained later on) Combine Units carry different equipment and wear different armor depending on their rank/division. All units carry a stunstick (As seen in picture below) that is used to beat citizens and Resistance members. Delivers a shock on impact, 4 decent hits to the head with one and you're KO'd. All units also carry 9 mm. pistols that were developed by the Combine, it is fast-firing and can not jam due to it's design. All units are required to carry a handheld radio at all times.
Combine Divisions:
Helix - The Combine equivalent of the airforce. You are the ones who pilot helicopters and supply ships.
Grid - The Engineering/Mechanical/Weaponry division. You build things for the Combine forces, including weapons and armor.
Apex - The Executive/planning division. You are responsible for planning most of the events/processes the combine forces go through. You also help train new units.
Sword - The weaponry divison. You manufacture weapons and ammo. You also repair things that have been broken/damaged.
Shield - The Medical division. You aid other units when they are injured/ill, and if a citizen needs to be kept alive, you will aid them aswell. (Keep in mind, you are still a sadistic alien, you don't show compassion towards any citizen, you just follow your orders if you are told to help them.)
King - The Supervising division. You monitor other divisions and make sure they are doing their job. (This doesn't mean you have authority over other divisions, you just make sure they aren't slipping up.)
Nova - The 1st Guard division - You are a unit who does everything any other unit would do, but you specialize in guarding important areas in the Nexus, such as the living quarters of the SeC.
Jury - The Law division - You make most of the decisions when it comes to punishment. You decide how long detainment lasts, you decide when and where executions are made, and best of all, you get to carry out public executions. You also come up with new laws that might help prevent Resistance outbreaks.
Ghost - The Spy division - You sneak around the city in your special armor that hides the view of you, making sure no one is plotting against the Combine. (I can see problems with this, you can't just go around and hear everything everyone is saying, you don't spy that often. You're used more for assassinations, so don't do the latter, please.)
Victor - The Treasurey division - You manage all the local equipment trades and such. You also decided how much supplies local UCL stores get.
Union - The Mass division - You are a basic combine soldier, you do what you are commanded to do, you patrol. You raid if told to, etc.
Legion - The EOW division - You are amongst one of the rarest divisions, and you are trained to handle any in-city conflicts.
Combine Ranks:
RcT - Fresh meat, you are an untrained unit who is barely brainwashed.
04 - You have very, very basic training, and have been on a few patrols.
03 - You are about a quarter of the way through your training, you are almost completely brainwashed.
02 - You are nearly done with your training, and you are completely brainwashed. This is the point in which you will probably receive your augments. (Basically, surgery and chemicals that increase your physical endurance/strength.)
01 - You are finished with your training. At this point, you are a hellish being who is cruel and unforgiving towards any human, even some lower ranked units than you. (You are allowed to boss around units that are rank 03 - RcT
OfC - You are a heavily augmented unit and you are highly skilled in your division's duty. (You can boss around others in your division that are ranked below you. You can also boss other units in other divisions around, but not if they are over the rank of 02, you are also encouraged to only boss around units in your division, because other OfCs like to boss their division around.)
EpU - You are quite experienced and basically supervise all units below your rank. (Basically, the same as DvL, except DvL still has seniority over you, and you do not run divisions.)
DvL - You are amongst the most skilled and wise units, you run the division you are in. Meaning you have complete power over it. However, you only have power over your division, you do not have the right to change things in other divisions. (Meaning you can't tell another entirely different division to do something, you can't command an ofc in a different division, but you can if he's in yours.)
GeN - You are the assistant of the SeC. You have more skills than the DvLs, and you are in charge of the DvLs and every other unit.
SeC - You are the boss. You run everything that goes on in the city, and you basically own the Combine forces in that city.
Your means of identification amongst the Combine is rather important, considering your armor similarities. Each unit has a unique label, that states their rank, division, city they belong to, and custom ID number. So a unit in a metropolitan city, rank: 01 in the Helix division, would be: MpF (Metropolitan Police Force).(The period to seperate each section of the name)Helix.01.019914 ( all ID numbers are six digits long, no letters in the ID "Number".) So the end result would be: MpF.Helix.01.019914.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Overwatch Trans-human Arm
The Overwatch Trans-Human Arm (OTA) are the closest thing to true combines. They are completely brainwashed creatures who have been heavily augmented, meaning they have incredible strength and speed. Along with superhuman reaction time and planning ability. Most of their organs have been removed to optimize efficiency. They wear heavier and thicker armor than the standard MpF unit, and carry all of the same equipment. Except all OTA units carry either a non-jammable Spas-12 shotgun or an Ar2 pulse rifle. ( Both shown at the bottom of op, under OTA/Combine)
Picture 2: (What Elite units look like. The weapon he is holdings is the Ar2 pulse rifle, it has a primary and secondary trigger. Primary trigger causes the rifle to fire dark-matter bullets, which are as powerful as regular bullets, they are just easier to make. Secondary trigger causes the bottom barrel on the rifle to fire a large ball of dark matter, that vaporizes any being it comes into contact with. The ball will bounce around if fired at a wall, and will explode after x amount of contacts with a hard physical surface, depending on the speed of it.)
There are only 3 divisions in the OTA.
Echo, Nomad, and Javelin. None of them really have a special purpose, they are just team names used by the Overwatch Elites to easily be able to communicate with their squad during raids. However, the Javelin division tends to use shotguns more often than not, so they are known as the shotgunning division.
There are only 2 ranks in the OTA.
The first rank is a basic Overwatch unit, and the second is an elite Overwatch unit. (BoU & EoU) That being the case, it takes a long while for a BoU to rank up to a EoU. Keep in mind, that you have to be one of the best MpF units in order to be accepted to the Overwatch.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
The Resistance
The Resistance are the people who are basically holding the Combine back and keeping them from completely ruling over all of humanity. Without them, the entire human race would be turned into stalkers. (Stalkers are shown at the bottom of this post, under Combine.)
The Resistance do not wear blue jumpsuits, as they are the resistance and hardly follow any of the Combine's laws, all the time anyways. The Resistance cannot just constantly roam the slums with their weapons out, the Resistance more often than not lives amongst the other regular citizens, except smuggling illegal foods and real water to malnourished citizens to keep them alive. There will be a few occasions where all of the Resistance members will have their weapons ready to fire, these occasions mostly occurred when sweeps were going on in the slums. The Resistance also has many hidden bases in the slums, they have to in order to keep their workings hidden from the Overwatch sweeps. Members of the Resistance often use the same weapons the MpF & OTA do, and maybe a few more.
A few additional weapons the Resistance tends to use: (1st is a make-shift crossbow that uses heated bolts as ammo. 2nd is a .357 Python-Magnum Revolver. (Pictures at bottom of post, under resistance).
The Resistance also wears some armor and Kevlar when needed.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Xen
There are three different grouped Xen lifeforms, that ended up hiding amongst the wastelands of Earth. (The only race I'm going to be accepting applications for is the Vortiguant race, otherwise this rp would turn into some kind of animal rp. I might accept applications for the other two IF or WHEN the roleplay gets going.) They all look rather strange. The Resistance are use to the Vortiguants because they are the only seemingly intelligent Xen lifeform, and decided to head in-city to aid the Resistance in their battles against the Combine. (Some of the vortiguants were captured, and are slaves for the combine already. But they are kept inside the nexus, and are forced to wear collars and shackles to prevent them from using their powers. Pictures below.) There are also three different types of Antlion, the warrior, worker, & guard. (Pictures Below antlion) There are 3 different types of Necromnics, they are frankly labeled: Classic, Poison, & Fast; by the humans. ( Pictures under Headcrab in Xen.)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Well, you've made it this far, hopefully you have read all of the above content. As you can probably see in all the above content if you did read it, I tried to add as many pictures as possible to make what I was saying semi-understandable. I will be adding a basic layout of the city that the RP is going to start out in, and yes, if the rp is successful, I will most likely be expanding the areas the roleplay is taking place in. I realize that this thread is rather messy, and I plan on cleaning it up upon full release, so bear with me, please. I do have a few more In-Character details that I need to mention before I get into applications and rules. Don't worry, the reading is almost over.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Contraband
All contraband falls under a minor punishment, medium punishment, a major punishment, and death. So there are four levels of contraband. A minor, or level four piece of contraband, would result in a beating and ceasing of the contraband. A level three piece of contraband would result in a beating, detainment, and ceasing of the contraband. A level two piece of contraband would result in a severe beating, a few cycles of detainment, and ceasing of the contraband, along with a token deduction. A level 1 piece of contraband would result in severe beatings, interrogation, and execution.
3. Any food articles or major clothing not approved by the MPF.
2. Any chemicals, tools, or melee weapons.
1. Any guns, ammo, or Resistance propaganda clothing.
A few things you should know as a Citizen or Resistance member:
You are afraid of the Combine, if not completely terrified, you atleast slightly fear them.
All Citizens are malnourished, and MPF units that are of ranks 02+ are heavily augmented, meaning that you only have a 1 in 100 chance in beating a unit in a fight, unless weapons are involved.
Being a citizen might seem rather boring and repetitive, I realize that, but really, think about it. You are a human amongst many others that is trying to survive under the reign of a dangerous alien race, you know that if you follow their rules and laws, that they will let you live and breathe. You make friends with other citizens, talking of your lives before the war. You are always careful not to make the combine angry, because you want to either be trusted, or be a silent member or helper of the Resistance.
If you are accepted into the Resistance, you aren't some super awesome trained triggerhappy person who walks around in the slums of the city and shooting everything that moves. You are a Resistance member who slowly gains respect and trust amongst other members. Your primary objective is to help citizens who are ill or who need nourishment to stay alive and well to prevent being executed for illness. When you're not doing that, you're plotting against the MPF, planning to save someone's life during an execution, or to lower the number of units. Raids/pillages of the city do NOT
happen very often.
As a citizen, don't just wander into the slums. You know that there are Resistance defenses that won't appreciate you being there, they won't shoot you, but you still don't want a gun pointed at your head. Also, you don't want to be beaten and detained by the MPF, and odds are if you go into the slums, you're going to be caught and the MPF are going to do exactly that.
