CITIZENS - "We are all the same under God. Shoulder to shoulder we stand in unity, whether it be beneath God, the Combine, or simply as we always have. Some are known to sin, but they can be forgiven as Jesus promises. I have nothing but love and respect for the children of God, for each and every human can choose goodness and virtue, if only they'd give it a chance, regardless of faith."
CIVIL WORKERS UNION - "They mean well. They seek to better the world around them. It must be stated that the average Civil Worker is a good person, and that alone is worthy of praise, even if they serve tyrants."
CIVIL MEDICAL UNION - "Like the Civil Worker's Union, they seek to do good in society. God knows that their hands are full with the woes of the masses. They have my respect for what they do, regardless of their servitude under the Combine. It takes a selfless soul to seek the embetterment of others, despite how little they are compensated for it."
CIVIL PROTECTION - "The servants of the anti-christ. They are brutish and cruel, inflictors of tyranny and hatred beneath their alien masters. However, they are human, just like you and me. If they could only see the wrong in their ways, they may be saved. Even as they wallow in sin, Jesus still loves them, and will still forgive them if only they would seek His forgiveness, for that is the power of Him, The Father's, unending, infinite love...
OVERWATCH TRANSHUMAN ARM - "The legions of the Combine. Soldiers of horrible, unholy strength and wickedness. Like the Civil Protection, they are cruel bringers of death and destruction, affronts to God. And just like the Civil Protection, they are human, deserving of love if they'd only reach out and accept it. They can be redeemed before God almighty, even if they themselves do not understand Him..."
THE COMBINE - "The inhuman Anti-Christ made real. The false prophets of salvation. The bringer of damnation and destruction upon mankind. We shall overcome them. We shall united beneath God against them. God commands victory as Revelations foretold, and so it is that they shall be sent to the fiery pits of hell!"
THE COLLABORATOR'S PARTY - "Lost servants of the anti-christ, fooled and deceived into slavery unlike any other citizen before them. They claim luxury and salvation, yet fail to see that they are the greatest slaves of all. They need only be shown the path of good to be saved, as they, like all, can be saved.
VORTIGAUNTS - "A lost, alien species. I do not know what their true intent is, for it is not known if they possess the same soul as that of a human, but they are creations of God nonetheless. I have seen them do good. I have seen them do good things just like any other human. I do not know if they possess a soul, but surely, they are graced in some way by God to do great things."
The Resistance - "Warriors of humanity, who fight for our right to freedom, and to return to us the free will that God imparts in us all. I admire those who would give their lives to protect us, especially in the fight against the Anti-Christ. However, I cannot forget the actions they have committed to pursue this cause. I cannot forget how they butcher other humans mercilessly out of sinful wrath. I am not so foolish as to simply say that such bloodshed is unnecessary, but I have seen the extent as to which they will go, in manners that not only hurt the Combine, but innocent, good humans as well. They must do better. Fight not just with bullets but with love. Not every battle must be won on a battlefield, for victories against the Combine are made in homeless shelters, soup kitchens, refuges, and more."

'Splinter'
"Living proof that good can be found in anything. Many have besmirched and spit upon their kind. I find that those such as Splinter are proof that they are capable of good. To give up your personal space for the many is not an easy thing to do, yet Splinter did so with practically no hesitancy. Perhaps it is a trait that comes easy to vortigaunts- but that is only all the more reason to believe that they are capable of extreme good."
Felix Poelking
"Another soul within the masses who has found the will to do good in the Earthly realm of God. A healer and a philanthropist. He shows a will to do what is right, even at the risk of putting himself in peril. I have seen him quarrel and question himself, which is saddening to the heart, but I believe that what he does is a path to self understanding. Eventually, he'll come to terms with his own grief. I pray for his wellbeing, and pray that God gives him the strength to do what is right."
