Backstory and Stakes below:

Spoiler: Backstory/Stakes

Character Backstory:

Once an EMT for a hospital in New Jersey, Ryan's life - much like everyone else's was put in turmoil after the Portal Storms. There were some obvious hitches in the road during the start of the portal storms, including a chance skirmish with a HECU unit but Ryan and company managed to power through although not unscathed. After escaping New Jersey on a boat commandeered by the National Guard of New Jersey, Ryan opted to enlist with the remnants of them to continue his career in life-saving along with being able to actively combat the new alien threat. Albeit with the little organisation of the National Guard, some sort of stability was founded.

This all went up in the air a few years later upon the arrival of the Combine and the respective Seven Hour War. Keeping himself to evacuation duties during the war meant that he managed to avoid capture by the Combine upon humanities defeat, and he lead a nomadic life across the East Coast for some time with fellow National Guard members. avoiding the Combine. There's a funny thing about humanity's perseverance against all odds stacked against them and it came true upon his band of merry men coming across the founding members of the Patriots, with Ryan and the leftover National Guard members being drafted into the Patriots soon after establishing contact with them.

In the exciting career of freedom fighting, a lot of people get hurt. Medical staff are invaluable, especially ones that can work in the field and not just sit in a tent. Ryan was willing to fit that niche, and this lead to his integration into the ranks of the Patriots through the time he's served with them. He's now based around City 1, ready to execute the next move of the Patriots in their everlasting fight for humanities freedom. It's been a long fight already, and it's not looking too bright for the Patriots, but this could be an important turning point.

Character Stakes: City One's the jewel of the East Coast, and a major Combine stronghold. A big enough push to cause instability in the city would cause ruin to Combine forces all across the Eastern seaboard, allowing Ryan to return to his home city of New Jersey, even if just for a short while. This directly aligns with Ryan's goals, and the goals of the organisation he's laid down his life for.

Character Name:
Douglas Arnold

Role:
CCR Sergeant

Faction:
CCR

Character Backstory:
Douglas Arnold is an American-Southern man, formerly active in City 24 as a Tier 2 Loyalist a few years ago. Working under Agatha Wolstenholme's old bakery, and even the 'hotel' that existed at one point. Back then, the conscripted reserve was known as the 'OSF', a place where Douglas found his home. Being naturally acclimated to the climate that they brought him into. And, as noted by both local Civil Protection and his higher-ups, almost too acclimated. The man was a beast of the battlefield, enjoying war like it was some kind of game, rarely fearing for his own life. One of his fellow conscripts "Felix Poelking" (now deceased) noted Arnold's laughter after being bombed by dissident artillery, also noting him as one of the... less sane individuals present. Due to this, command had decided to make him a permanent Conscript, much to Arnold's glee, shipping him around all over the world wherever he was needed.



Beating all the odds and surviving each deployment, whilst also showing unmatched brutality, command had no choice but to acknowledge him. They granted the man the role of sergeant, rather unceremoniously, but still a promotion was granted and acknowledged by all around him. Being shipped around to various platoons never gave Arnold time to actually find a "war family", instead giving him the proper disconnect needed to order those under him into suicide charges. Charges he would often head. Still, psychologists note that even if he did form some kind of attachment to his men, he wouldn't be stopped from his charges.

Excerpt from psychological evaluation: "My men- and myself- are tools. Weapons for the CCR and the Combine as a whole. Usable, replaceable. My Lieutenant compares us to rifles, sleek killing machines made for war. I tell my men that we'd be lucky to be considered a rifle, and in reality we are grenades. Meant to be thrown as far away as possible, and make a big impact while taking out the enemies around us. Never meant to return". Psychologists Note: Arnold was brought in for a mental evaluation after killing two unarmed underclass who were in the presence of an unchained Biotic. After the biotic was swiftly dealt with, Arnold continued through the room, shooting the other two surrendering dissidents. Note that they were confirmed to be assisting the Biotic. We find that Douglas Arnold is still fit to serve, however should be sent on missions where collateral is unimportant.



Character Stakes:
Time for another promotion, this time being sent to his home for it- America. This could be Arnold's last stand, or his rebirth into something great.​

Faction: Patriots
(if applicable) Role: Patriot Privates

Character Backstory: A simple, Fourty-Something Canadian man. For most of his life and the Occupation, Clark has been wandering the great American wastelands on his own. Only halting here and there at some sort of tribe or Settlement, only Infrequently having a "home" when hiding from Combine sweeps or antlion migration. He didn't exactly why he never bothered to settle down somewhere. Something deep Inside of him simply pulled and pulled, toward lands he had sometimes not even heard before, and frankly, some were too afraid to tread on themselves. Yet, Clark moved. Though, eventually, something forced him to walk a way with some other folks of the wasteland. One day, almost a year ago, Clark wandered Into Denver. And call It good or bad luck, He found himself Inbetween the New Frontier of the Combine, and the Patriots. He formed a little gang with a few local folks, though It was nothing quite noteworthy. Eventually, things started to escalate. And once things came to it, in the heat of the moment, Clark and his gang choose to fight with the Conscripts, to push away the Xenian malignancy.

And once It was all over - Clark, to his great hatred, was Conscripted. Though, It was very much expected. Now he served in the very same legion as the rest of the Men who had fought beside him. Soon enough he was brought to City One to serve in the local Reserve. Not soon after however, was he freed In what was meant to be a normal Outland patrol. After spending more then enough time In a cell, doing his best to gain the trust and curage of the local Patriot Cell, He was finally released. Though, due to not having ran away from the Conscripts earlier, he was likely to never rise the ranks of the Resistance movement. However, at the very least, He felt that he was fighting a fight truly worth fighting for. And now?All he hopes Is to remain alive, and to find his old pals.

Character Stakes: (Why are they in City 1? Are they intending to gain or seek something?)
Clark, after being Conscripted and assigned to City-1 after the events of New Frontiers, was captured and enlisted Into the Patriots after a skirmish not long after his Conscription. Now he prays that he may one day find his old pals of his old gang, The Runners.

Niccolò was one of the many very "fortunate" to be drafted into service in the Conscripted Forces of City-1, previously a shady person sometimes seen in the slums or acting as a vagrant on the city streets. As an enlisted he was just another cannon fodder thrown against the enemy, he had carried out in many of these instances. Fighting against underground rebels who were better kitted out than him, forces from another dimension Alien Grunts and Vortigaunts, Bandits and Conscript deserters in the outlands who were in greater numbers than his whole unit.

He has seen it all and survived these instances sometimes unharmed and sometimes with life threatening injuries. Life in the Conscripted Forces is never easy, his superiors were keen to promote him as an NCO after noticing his leadership skills and veterancy, but were concerned of his previous records and didn't trust him enough for such a position. Thus they had decided to send him into a reeducation facility, which would remake him into a loyal member to the cause whether he would like it or not. For weeks he went through grueling evaluation, additional training and loyalist checks before being released after deemed worthy. Niccolò was sent back to his unit and promoted as a fresh NCO now he awaited for his new assignments.

Life of Arthur McDuffy: The Dumb Patriot


Arthur McDuffy wasnt the sharpest tool in the shed. As a kid, he was slower then others, more naive then others, and got constantly bullied by his classmates, which took advantage of his shortcomings and similar. No matter how cruel others were, he tried to make friends, believing people were good deep down. When he turned eighteen, he joined the army, to toughen up and finally earn some respect.

Things didn’t change overnight. In the army, he was mocked just like in school. But Arthur endured. He worked harder than anyone else, studied constantly, and proved himself through grit and loyalty. Over time, the teasing stopped, and the promotions came. By the time he became a respected leader, he thought he’d finally found his place in the world.

Then the Combine invaded.

The Seven Hour War wiped out everything he’d built. His entire unit was annihilated in moments. There was no fighting back... only surviving. Arthur ran. He vanished into the wilderness, scavenging and hiding, adapting to a world ruled by alien machines. For months, he lived alone, avoiding patrols and sleeping under trees.

Then he found the Patriots a ragtag resistance group made up of ex-soldiers, scientists, and survivors. They took him in. With them, Arthur fought back. He helped sabotage Combine infrastructure, rescue civilians, and destroy outposts. Through fire and frost, through deaths and heartbreak, Arthur was still standing. They called him “Doofy” for his stubborness to fight an aleady lost fight. He wasn’t fast or clever, but was still standing.

Years passed. The resistance faded. Many died. The few who remained took shelter.

Now, in a crumbling cabin, Arthur sits by the fire beside a young girl named Nadia—one of the last Patriots. She
"asks what comes next?".

Arthur doesn’t flinch. He stares into the flames and says, “We hit back.”

He’s not smart.
He’s not lucky.
But Arthur McDuffy is STILL STANDING


And that’s one mistake the Combine won’t survive.


THIS IS A NEW CHAR, I WOULD LIKE TO USE IT FOR THE EVENT. COULD I GET SOME SKILLS? FOR RP :3

(if applicable) Role: Resistance member
(if applicable) Tagline: N/A
Faction: The Patriots - Private

Character Backstory:
Born on February 8th 1966 in Kentucky, Richmond to a family of a restaurant owners. Serval has been a rather "shady" person since his early days (16-24), despite his quite successful and promising cooking skills, and slight career at both his Parents' business, and a restaurant named "Kentucky Keeps", as a Cook. However, his real notoriety came from his constant thievery, both petty theft and more serious type, which caused numerous issues to himself and his parents. Eventually, after being thrown out and having to make a living, he moved to New York City, where his tendency for crime... Eventually caught up to him, and landing him squarely in prison! But, that would not last long..

The storms, aliens and earthquakes are what set him and his fellow inmates free! They got out, found tools and a bus, and made their way out into the Coast, where a evacuation ship resided, which got them out... And into the unknown, but better than where they were.

That landed them in the middle of the storm and chaos, located at NYC! There with the help of numerous familiar and new faces, Serval helped out in anyway he could, even saving his group from a Alien laser weaponry once! There with multiple difficulties from the army and aliens, Serval alongside the rest mamaged to escape the city by boat... But not without losses.

Now, after re-establishing a settlement underneath the city in the metro, Serval didnt manage to earn himself a spot as a barkeep or chef.. But his culinary and farming skills alongside his precise eye, landed him uses that would let him aid his fellow settlers around the place.. Hopefully, not for a short while.

That however, as one could guess, did not last long... And although details are sparse and he himself does not mention it, it is safe to assume something happened...

Ever since then however, he has been working alongside numerous Freedom Fighter groups, while trying to keep himself together, in first the New World and then, the New World Order of his new overlords known as the Combine... Wether he stuck with people he knew, or abandonded some is irrelevant, as constant travel and relocations around the place made him hard to really... Know anybody, or have any meaningful connections.

Eventually however, he finally stopped moving... Not necessarily out of any good reason, or his own, but he got anchored up. The location? CITY-1.

Spoiler: THE STAKES

Character Stakes: After the numerous years of relocations, freedom fighting, surviving and loss, face and necessity has brought him to City-1... With not much hope remaining mind you, as the current resistance situation was quite terrible, however it is not like he had any alternatives. Now, being more paranoid and careful than before, Serval has to work with any remaining Freedom Fighters, or even some recognizable faces, in order to strike at the City-1 Administration, and maybe... JUST MAYBE... Do something of worth in his life.

Necropolis
A fire, burning ever in the night
Lt. James Slaton was a hot-shot upstart in the New York State Fire Department. Leading an interstate station in New Jersey. When an event occurred that changed everything. An invasion unlike any other. He and his team were out on a dispatch call when the first portal storms hit. Their engine was wrecked. The team rushed through the streets, combating the strange new aliens. The NYFD retook the fire station. Forming the NYFD Safe-Zone. Over the next 3 days, the NYFD led the survivors of Newark through conflict with looters, the aliens, and in a surprising turn, a section of the US Military that had turned on the people of the US.

Eventually, Lt. Slaton was separated from the rest of the group and was caught by the US Military. Instead of killing or arresting him, they spared his life. Giving him hope for his country. He then escaped the hellscape of New Jersey. Going west on his own.

Spoiler: The Streets of Jersey

A War of Seven Hours
A fire, burnt down to the coals


James, now a captain, was in Indiana aiding in evacuation efforts. Suddenly, massive portal storms began to form all across the world. He became trapped inside the basement of the house he had been staying in. Hearing the explosions, strange mechanical noises, and the screams of the dying. He managed to get his radio function back, where he heard untold horrors. Eventually, after being trapped for 7 Hours, he heard on his radio a worldwide announcement that the nations of Earth had surrendered to something called the Combine.

For the next few years, he wandered the Midwest. Helping people where he could. One day he came in contact with a group, known as the Patriots.

Long Live the Republic
A fire, small but raging



James quickly rose through the ranks of the Patriots. He worked as a trainer for recruits and trained Patriots on the use of various incendiary weapons. Eventually, he was transferred back home to New York. Reuniting with the former members of the NYFD who fought in Newark. He started working closely with the previous Captain, becoming his right-hand man.

Then the events in the Midwest took place. The Seattle Cell failed to stop the Combine from destroying the XMZ. With that, the Combine's new focus was on the Patriots. They came down hard. And with the installation of the Consul, the New York Patriots were hunted down. Running from safe house to safe house. In a daring raid by conscript forces, the former Captain was killed. James was then elected the new Captain of the New York Patriots.

"That flag may be ragged and tattered. But it still flies. These alien bastards and those who side with them think that we will sit back and let them destroy us. I say this to them: WE WILL NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT. WE SHALL FIGHT, UNTIL THERE ARE NONE OF US LEFT. THE TIME FOR REVOLUTION IS AT HAND."

BACKSTORY:​

• Spoiler: BACKSTORY - VON'KIRN

  • In silence, when his mind wandered, Von'Kirn still remembered Xen, his spawn place. He thought about the distant cries of boids spiraling above him like vultures in the crackled, colorful sky, as he, alongside his kin, toiled under the Nihilanth’s watchful eye. Von'Kirn suffered the same fate as many of his kin he was forced to labour in the factories and witness their oppression, whilst the chains strapped onto him rendered him helpless. He was fueled by rage, for he craved freedom like no other the freedom he could only gaze at, stashed behind the spiked walls of the settlement in which he was confined. No matter how many times he was repressed, he did not wish to fold before the Nihilanth.
    
    
    
  • He remembered the clinking of chains as he was led through the dark catacombs, the path illuminated by a torch held by the Grunt escorting him. A decision had been made to publicly execute him, but for the time being, he was placed within a prison cell. He sat there for hours in complete darkness he could no longer see his freedom. The void inside his corporeal form slowly drove him mad. After some time had passed, three silhouettes appeared outside his cell. The light they carried blinded him, so he could not make out who they were. He began to feel dizzy, and a sharp stinging sensation in his head overcame him before his vision went completely dark once again.
    
    
    
  • When he awoke, he was in a completely different place. It felt dry. He walked on yellowish sand; the sky was blue, and around him were multiple rock formations. In front of him stood a metallic structure on wheels with broken windows a shelter, perhaps? The entrance was wide open, with some red substance dripping out of it. As he looked down upon himself, he noticed the substance was on him as well. He panicked, and his connection to the Vortessence was momentarily fractured. He ran, though he did not know where to. Eventually, he encountered multiple humanoid creatures dressed in fabric. They seemed frightened and attacked him.
    
    
    
  • What happened after is concealed behind a fog, which the Vortessence restricts him from viewing for unknown reasons. He soon met with others of his kin and grew cautious of the 'humans,' even though they no longer treated him as a threat. He vowed to protect his and his kin's freedom on Earth. Since his arrival, he has participated in multiple revolts and assaults on the Combine his kin's ancient enemy. He was caught and made into a Biotic a few times for short periods, but he always escaped.
    
    
    
  • Hearing the news of the Tribe Leader’s capture, he set out alongside the Shaman and his kin to mount a rescue.

Character Backstory:
Ariette Grandchamps was born in the very heart of Paris in 1995, but she never truly belonged to the glittering, gifted world of her parents. Her mother, a rising opera star, and her father, a renowned composer, had little time for their daughters. Ariette shared her childhood with a twin sister, Cassandre , brilliant, talented, always one step ahead. Where Cassandre excelled effortlessly, Ariette stumbled. No musical ear, no academic flair, no apparent gift. She grew up believing she was useless.


The moment everything changed came one evening. Seven o’clock. Flames. Their home caught fire. Her parents died in the blaze. Ariette was outside. Cassandre survived. But nothing would ever be the same.


The following years blurred into one another. In the shadow of her past, Ariette was shoved through the system like a forgotten cog. Ordinary schooling, factory work, indifferent faces. Her charm won her some friends, but even those connections faded with time. She drifted , invisible, unwanted.


Years later, she was finally relocated to District 9. For the first time, she was given a choice: to decide what she wanted to do. But by then, she had no dreams left. What if… what she wanted most was to disappear?


Then came the letter.


A fragment of a manifesto, heavily censored, written by her sister Cassandre , found on her after a failed act of sabotage orchestrated by a splinter cell of the Croix de Lorraine. Cassandre had died. But she had written one final message, addressed to Ariette. Only one clear sentence remained:

"Our parents never saw it, but your drawings, your songs — when you did them for others, they became masterpieces. Your talent, my sister, is being the spotlight."

Ariette understood.


She was never meant to be the performer ,she was the light that made others shine. The one who lifts, reveals, and gives shape to what would otherwise go unnoticed. She may not be a beacon, but she is the mirror that reflects brilliance.


That was her turning point.


Since that day, Ariette has vowed never to fall back into darkness. She still doesn’t know exactly who she’s meant to be ,but for the first time in her life, she knows she is meant to be.


She is Ariette Grandchamps.

Role: Resistance member - Patriot Sergeant
Faction: The Patriots​

Spoiler: IC Information

Character Backstory:



(Old photo taken at the time of the counter-revolutionary effort in Czechoslovakia)
An aged, grizzled counter-revolutionary fighting against the last vestiges of the Soviet Union's grip on Eastern Europe at her prime. While women were not commonly permitted to take up arms due to the at the time prominent view of women's roles as housekeepers and children raisers, Khadija felt her role as a mother had long since been snuffed out when her husband was murdered in a conspiracy perpetrated by her paranoid neighbors, resulting in a false accusation of treason.

From there on, through whispers, counter-propaganda newspapers and word of mouth through fellow dissidents, she got into contact with the prominent at the time counter-revolutionary group in Czechoslovakia, continuing to put on the hurt for the Soviet imperialistic machine. Their fight was eventually won when the Soviet Union inevitably collapsed in 1991, and though her dreams of a peaceful life had long since been wounded by the bloody fight she had to endure, the skills she earned that day would prove most valuable for her future.

When the sky came aflame, the portal storms, it tested her resolve yet again. The counter-revolutionary effort having already ground out any and all semblance of weakness out of her bones, she was prepared to do what she needs to, to survive. Getting into contact with the people she survived the counter-revolution fight with, she consolidated her efforts with them to form a wandering group of nomads when the chaos unfolded.

That didn't last long, either, though. Shortly after the portal storms, the Combine paid Earth a visit with a seven hour long greeting, utterly decimating it and claiming it for themselves. It was a shock to Khadija, whom has never seen imperialism at this sort of scale, at this sort of strength. Her comrades thought about fighting it initially, but she saw it from the offset that...it was not the time. Not now. This enemy was too strong to fight directly, so they had to bide their time.

Assimilated into the urban centers established after the Combine's decisive victory, she did indeed bide her time, like in her youth. She performed her daily labors, kept her nose clean, and while she had done so, she kept a track of whispers, notes of a resistance forming from between the cracks of the iron-clad wall of propaganda and brutal oppression. In a roundabout way this led to her eventual meeting of The Patriots. Seeing the glimpse of the counter-revolutionary force she was part of in her youth, she felt it was instrumental to lend her aid, and eventually became a prominent figure amongst its ranks.​

Character Stakes: Khadija came to this city with the rest of the Patriots, thus her stake is to ensure that whatever plan or mission that the group sets out to accomplish within the city, is carried out.

Mini short story of the myth and legend.

_
Part 1 : Prison Life
Hailed from the land of the free in the most safest places on earth (Chicago) with a set of loving parents (A sex worker mother and a non existent dad) with a high aspiration of becoming a scientist (of women).

Self appointed Laurentius the third took a liking from people of the underworld such as Iceberg slim and bishop Don Magic Juan. His absent mothers attendance to other men in bed forced Dante to go to the streets , left hating his biological mother becoming what he hated. A pimp.


Money, bitches and merchandise.
Thats all women were to him. Uncoincidentally , one of his bitches ratted out his 'pimping' to the local district officers where doing the drug bust he was caught smoking meth while having a reach around with another man... hated women so much he'd rather be with a man.

After getting slapped with some hefty charges , he became a rising star in the prison with the influence he had gained from the outside. A sorta respect in the jungles.

3 years into the slammer with 20 more to go , he ran with Treyvons gang under the nickname Leftenant smak a ho. A rising star in the prisons , he gained favours from everyone before being the first iron willed individual to break through the prison walls.

Part 2 : City life survival

Hes black and hes a survivor at most A rebel in his core. He looted, he killed and he cared for his fellow survivors all for the sake of unity. He grew, he learned and he changed into a bigger man, less of a thug more as a generic human.

There's nothing else to say other than a deeper hatred towards Falkman and in later the combine due to his acts in the city that would have killed him if it wasn't for the fact that the patriots saved him. He heard the radio chatter, he saw what the military did, he glanced the secrets documents. Nothing was going to save Falkman other than the devil himself after his guts get ripped out.

Part 3 : Patriots

After getting saved by the national guard , he owed a favour or two after his best pal left for china. As he grew older he became a wiser individual a hermit of his previous self walking from battlefield to battlefield. Each front having similar faces with different vocoders. He did anything for the patriots that would mean getting his hands around Falkmans throat.

Raymond Eugène Hector de Linzac was born on April 22, 1987, in Reims, into a bourgeois family. He was the third son of Professor Georges de Linzac, a biologist holding a chair at the Faculty of Sciences in Reims. His mother was a public prosecutor. From an early age, Raymond was raised in an educational environment focused on strict discipline. His instruction took place largely within the family home, under the direct supervision of his father.


Between 1991 and 1998, Raymond developed early skills in biological observation and became passionate about elementary taxonomy. At the age of six, he began keeping an observation journal and was introduced to basic scientific equipment by his father. He rarely took part in standard school activities, being mainly taught by private tutors, which gradually fostered a tendency toward social withdrawal.


Between 2001 and 2004, following the opening of the portals, Raymond and his family were relocated to a secure scientific facility under government authority. This transfer aimed to allow his father to contribute to research on biological phenomena related to Xen.


Within this controlled environment, Raymond continued his secondary education through a tailored program that included advanced scientific models. He gradually developed a strong interest in the fauna and flora of Xen. He began compiling personal notes and formulating hypotheses on the observed ecosystems, benefiting from indirect exposure to the data and equipment used by the researchers.


In 2004, approaching the age of 17, Raymond made a clear move toward the study of xenobiological lifeforms, with his academic trajectory becoming closely linked to the emergence of knowledge surrounding Xen.


During the Seven Hours War in 2004, the military facility where Raymond and his family resided was among the first to be targeted and neutralized. The defending forces offered minimal resistance before capitulating to the superior technology of the Universal Union.


Following the war, Raymond and his family were relocated to City 13, in the Paris sector, under the authority of the Union’s Provisional Administration. In the years that followed, Professor Georges de Linzac placed his scientific skills at the service of the Union, acting as a senior collaborator and researcher within the Civil Union for Medicine and Research (UCMR) in District 1, eventually accessing positions of responsibility. Raymond, then 17 years old, continued his education under his father’s supervision and within the Union’s restructured educational programs. Influenced by the promise of conformity and progress, he gradually developed an unwavering loyalty to the Universal Union, which he came to see as both a logical continuation of scientific reasoning and a moral duty to uphold his father’s legacy.


Between 2006 and 2011, Raymond de Linzac followed a full academic path within Union educational structures.
In 2006, at the age of 19, he joined the Union Technical Preparatory Cycle (CPTU), a selective program designed to train scientific civilian. He achieved evaluation scores above 97% in biology, organic chemistry, and applied mathematics.
In 2007, he was admitted into a Bachelor’s program in Biology at a higher technical institute affiliated with the Scientific Administration, where he was noted for his seriousness, methodical rigor, and dedication.
In 2009, he entered a Master’s program specializing in Xeno-Modular Genetics, a restricted-access field focusing on the manipulation of Xenian genetic material.
In 2011, he completed a PhD in Applied Xenobiology, jointly supervised by two researchers. His thesis focused on the genetic sequencing of Xenian organisms.


That same year, shortly after earning his doctorate, his father, Professor Georges de Linzac, was killed during an attack on the UCMR laboratories in District 1, perpetrated by an unidentified terrorist group. This event deeply affected Raymond, who developed a strong sense of hatred and contempt toward anti-citizens and the marginalized populations of City 13.


In 2021, Raymond was officially integrated into the UCMR of District 11 as a xenobiologist, in recognition of his advanced expertise in the study of Xenian organisms.

Character Stakes: Raymond comes as a scientific liaison officer with several conscripts from City 13, including Ariette Grandschamps, for a short period to assist the Cité with its Xenian contamination problem. His interest, however, is more personal, seeking scientific recognition and glory for his work, in order to keep his father's legacy alive.

Character Name: Niklas Braun
Faction: CCR

Character Backstory:



Niklas didn’t resist.


When the world changed, he didn’t run to the resistance or the streets he kept working, kept quiet, and tried to survive. Born in the ruins of post-industry Dresden, he was just one of many who drifted between jobs and settlements, doing what he could to earn a ration, a bunk, or a safe night.


He never sought out violence, but it found him anyway. Factory accidents, food line brawls, broken promises his body bears the scars of a life that never quite got better, only different.


When the Combine’s control solidified, Braun wasn’t targeted. He wasn’t dangerous or defiant just another face in the crowd. But what set him apart was his steadiness. He didn’t speak much, but he worked. When he saw Civil Protection, he didn’t flinch. When asked to help move crates or clear debris, he said yes.


Eventually, someone took notice.


He was recruited with a threat. He was offered a role. An escape from waiting in lines and scraping by. The uniform didn’t promise comfort, but it promised structure. Orders, a bunk, and a chance to matter even if only as a name on a list.


So he said yes to himself. Not because he believed in something greater but because no one else had offered him a future.


Now, as a Conscript, Braun doesn’t complain, doesn’t question. He listens. He works. And though he may not rise through ranks or stand out, he remains quietly, stubbornly, present.


Because even in a world like this, a place to stand is better than none at all.

Character 2: Full Application:

Character Name: Eldridge Parsons
(if applicable) Role: Liaison Officer
Faction: The Administration


Character Backstory:

​

A man of few morals and a tendency to undermine his peers, Eldridge Parsons is a deceitful man who serves the administration out of personal ventures more than loyalty. The saged man, dressed-up in collaborator attire almost too big for his skeletal body, carries himself with inflated ego and a piercing faux-smile decorates his wrinkled lip in company of the civil elite, most notably amongst the Consul and District Administrator. Though often kept clandestine, Eldridges' climb to power was surely rife with backstabbing, lying and undermining those who could be of hinderance to his rapid succession through loyalism. Once a member of the tele-communication service, Eldrige used his skills in communication to rise through the ranks, from intern to producer, supervisor to manager, the decrepit man showed promise in his disingenuous loyalty and tenacity for power. These days, Eldridge finds himself a member of the inner circle, the civil elite, though his insatiable appetite for power extends far beyond his current role as Liaison officer which is sure to show through the cracks of his facade.

Character Stakes: (Why are they in City 1? Are they intending to gain or seek something?)​

An unstoppable conquest for power, Eldridge seeks to continue is pursuit of selfish endeavours and a life of luxury. A long-time resident of City One amidst the harsh regime, he has rose through the loyalist ladder.
