Violation(s) resulting in your off-world relocation (Workers, Servicemen, Biotics): Backstory
*Character Name: Lilith Mordewell
*Brief summary of the character: Lilith 'Lili' Mordewell is a fierce English woman of average stature who speaks the Queen's English. She is 54 years old, but uses her limited makeup and surgeries pre-relocation to make it seem as though she was not. She has a love hate her job, yet fears any failure as well as disappointment from her superiors, so she performs to the best of her ability. She is not what she seems from the outside.
*Why do you want to play this character?: I wish to play this character so I can create roleplay and fun for other people, as well as myself. I enjoy playing characters like Lili, as I understand that they can have a very deep story (as any character can) that can be explored if other characters wish to do so.
I love the thought (and probably will love the execution if I am accepted) of the event, as it is very creative and sounds like it could be a lot of fun if the characters and game masters make it so.
Full Backstory (Optional):
Lilith ‘Lili’ Mordewell was born July 17th, 1960 to her 2 parents, Arthur Languel and Eve Mordewell. Her father was absent, and left while her mother was pregnant, leaving Eve to care for her, as well as Eve’s parents.
She grew up in an upper middle class home in London, her mother working as an ER Doctor so she did not have much time to spend with Lili, meaning she mostly bonded with her 2 Grandparents.
As a result of this, Lili formed a strong bond with her grandmother, Mollie. The 2 usually spent the time they had together playing board games or listening to the same songs on repeat, and she did this for the first few years of her
life.
When she was around 7 years old, her Grandfather, Larry, passed away due to lung cancer. Mollie was obviously distraught, but she persevered through her sadness to continue to assist in care for her granddaughter.
Lili’s mother took all the time she could to be with her daughter, but she could not spare that much time. The family regularly went on day trips, seeing places around London and sometimes outside of it. Lili took particular interest in the many museums of London, and loved going to see them and looking at the history behind many things.
Most of all she loved medical sciences. She always asked questions about medicine to her mother and excelled at biology in school. She wanted to follow in her mother’s footsteps in becoming a doctor. But, if she ever had children, she didn’t want to have to be away from them most of the time.. Though this was an issue that never needed a solution.
She continued to bond with her grandmother and visit museums, while also taking on many other hobbies. Her grandmother taught her how to crochet, cook, and also taught her — to the best of her ability due to her old age — basic hand-to-hand combat moves, though not very many.
She attended Sixth Form and then University, going to the Imperial College London to study Emergency Medicine. She got a job to help support her family and also to help pay her bills.
After studying emergency medicine she applied to the School of Medicine in the Imperial College, earning a place and studying there for a year until she got devastating news.
Her grandmother had been struck by a bad case of pneumonia. Due to her being a pensioner, she was more likely to die due to the disease. Mollie told Lili that because she was likely going to die, she was glad that she got to see her grow up.
Mollie died a few days later from the disease. Eva and Lili planned her funeral, which took place a few weeks afterwards and was attended by a few of Lili’s distant relatives, Mollie’s in-laws as well as Mollie’s friends.
Lili was very sad about the death of her grandmother, and it was said she was never the same afterwards. A few years later Lili graduated Medical School and began residency in a hospital.
Her residency was hard and gruelling but after yet another few years, she had passed the residency and she became a doctor of emergency medicine, working in the ER.
Throughout this entire period, she had never dated or been romantically interested in anyone. She turned down any invites to dinner or to eat out, and no one knew why.
She worked for the rest of her years of freedom in the ER. When the resonance cascade occurred, Lili’s mother was newly retired. Lili continued working in the ER while it was stable, and her mother put herself into a safe space for elderly people during the portal storms.
Lili ensured all lives she could save were saved, and when the combine invaded, she did the exact same. During the seven hour war, she attempted to make her way to her mother but she failed. London was overrun with Xenian creatures, as well as the off-world augmentation force. She had to go into hiding so as not to die herself, and she never knew what happened to her mother.
Upon the full liberation of the Earth, Lili was shipped from city to city, usually working as a CMU member, until she decided to take a job in the Civil Administration. She was first just a secretary and personal doctor to the City Administrator of City 2, yet she was granted the role of Vice Administrator after proving herself capable of the role.
As Vice Administrator she imposed strict laws that prosecuted BIOTICs and benefited loyalists, as well as herself. She acted cold, as if the Lili that had once been many years ago was gone. But truly, she was not. She was still the old Lili, but it was hidden deep, deep down.
The Administrator of the city died the next year in a successful assassination attempt. She was appointed by the Sector Administrator as his successor, and she continued to impose strict, fierce rules. She relaxed some of the harsher laws that were imposed on BIOTICs, yet imposed ones that were even harsher to criminals. Any minor transgression was treated as if it was a major one, especially assault, whose punishment was either death or off-world relocation.
Lili ensured that the CMU and CWU were performing at maximum effort, and when the directors were found to be incapable, she shipped them off-world. She ensured the CMU was working alongside the Combine Research Directorates, and if they weren’t making progress they had their loyalty rank stripped and were forced to work extra time.
Any and all anti-civil behaviour was an immediate execution, even if in public.
Lili got the offer to work on a very secret off-world project. She was offered a position as the Administrator, and told that if she was to accept, she must act without prejudice and fulfill the quota, else she would be replaced by her ‘superiors’, of which she knew virtually nothing of.
She accepted.
--- Section Three (Optional) ---
- Tell us about yourself: I began playing HL2RP a few years ago and I’ve played it ever since. I enjoy playing most citizen factions or citizen based factions (CMU, Civil Administration, etc) and like exploring roleplay paths that I haven’t before.
- Are you new to Willard Networks?: I began playing a month ago but I had played the beta tests before that, and as I mentioned I started playing HL2RP a few years ago.
- Are you familiar with anyone around Willard Networks?: Yes. A lot of people. Some of them are people I haven’t met in other communities, but a lot are. To name a few I’ve met in other communities are Atlas, Mullin, Ocean Man, Joku and quite a few others.
- What's your favorite thing about Half Life?: In Half-Life roleplay it is the possibility. There is endless possibility of who your character is, what they are, what they do.. generally in half-life is how it’s set. I love the dystopian feel and aura to it, how it feels when you play it.
