Alessio's Character Name:

Karatus'Aang
Raptorian's Character Name:
Veratus'Aang
Role:
Vortigaunts
Short (or detailed) character backstory:
Sletislava'Aang was first created in xen, and from it's inception had an interest in the macabre. Savage vortigaunts peaked the interest of the v at a young, providing opportunities for knowledge most of their peers would rather avoid. After dipping their toes in dark knowledge Ang quickly found itself committed to rituals a rational being knew were best to avoid.

Aang was experimenting on a corpse of another vortigaunt - one not slain by it's hand but slain nonetheless. In a dark haze of the vortigaunt chanting alone the creature became overpowered by a sudden, electric shock than jumped up it's spine and knocked him unconscious. When the vortigaunt awoke, the corpse next to it had flittered its eyes open too - and both of them were Aang - and neither of them quite knew which was the copy.

Knowing better than to fear the unknown, both of the Aang's immediate reaction was of curiosity. Their movements mirrored - their voices in unison. Over the coming weeks they analysed eachother, looking for any flaws in the split consciousness, but none came. As time passed, the two agreed that they needed names to differentiate themselves by. Over the course of the next hundreds of years they have stayed at eachother's side, and even through Combine occupation they remained toiling at what other vortigaunts would rather leave unseen.

  • Character Name: Sergei Fedotov.
  • Role (+Rank if Civil Protection): Expedition Member.
  • Did your character conscript into the Expedition willingly (Vortigaunts & Valley Survivors excluded): No. Sergei was randomly picked out of a crowd in a block inspection by chance. Barely managing to ditch his radio in time. With no chance of escape, he had to play into his cover story and undergo whatever bullshit the Combine had for him. Thinking "Just play ball, I'll be back in no time." as he was dragged off.
  • Short (or detailed) character backstory: Sergei Fedotov had a promising future in the Russian FSB. Not due to any sort of exceptional skills but to his father's connections to what was the KGB. Frantically attempting to meet HUGE parental expectations for his own life, he followed the plan set in motion. One all orchestrated by his dictator of a father. Sergei stumbled now and again with following through but he did just bearly manage.
  • The seven-hour war and the death of his family found Sergei trading one authoritarian figure in his life for another, the Combine. Living between constant relocations he finally managed to return home to City 3, Moscow. Conscripted into creating the mega-dome that now protects the city from the horrors outside. Soviet Reclamation Forces attempt to attack the city daily from within via partisan attacks and with how seemingly successful they have been, many join their ranks. Sergei however is a little bit of a coward, never joining as a fighter but opting as a meager spy to the S.R.F. Reporting on the local Legion, 'Upsilon' and its activity. With such an act, maybe he could make his dead father proud, right?
  • Character's biggest fear: Failure.

Character Name: Gideon Brooks

Role (+Rank if Civil Protection): Expedition Member

Did your character conscript into the Expedition willingly (Vortigaunts & Valley Survivors excluded): No, he did not

Short (or detailed) character backstory:
Gideon is an average slum dweller, who is often rummaging through trash and surviving on rations. He has an aversion to hard manual labor and does his best to avoid mandatory workcycles.
One day his luck seems to have run out, as his lack of participation hasn't gone unnoticed. Civil Protection showed up on his doorstep to 'nicely' remind him of his duties. After they were done with him, Gideon was informed that he has been selected for an important expedition. There was no way for him to weasel out of this one.


Character's biggest fear: Gideon's biggest fear are headcrabs. As someone who often dives head first into dumpsters he has developed a healthy fear of these parasites.
