''God, Country, King!''

Character Name: Marciano Martins

Character Rank (Standard Soldier, Squad Leader): Standard Soldier


Backstory (Optional):
The 51-year-old Marciano Martins lived for most of his life in the coastal city of Peniche, where he worked as a farmer in the fields next to the city. After the 7 Hour War, he was deported to Lisbon, now renamed Terminal Thirteen under Combine occupation. After a few years of living in Lisbon, due to the influx of new inhabitants, the city was evacuated. Marciano was deported once again, this time to Combine-occupied Madrid, City Fifty-Nine. There, he joined up with the Indígena de Madrid. Throughout this time, he had become a staunch supporter of Portuguese monarchism, seeing it as the only way to free the Iberian nations of Spain and Portugal from the Combine's sharp claws, and for a return to former glory.

This is a fine application, but the character is far too similar to Francis from L4D. Change the name and it'll be accepted as a standard soldier.

  • Backstory (Optional):
  • A young man who found himself in the middle of a war when the Combine arrived. He fled the fighting to a marshy area not far from where he used to live. Eventually a fast zombie got inside of his makeshift hut which would have killed him if a Krah member didn’t shoot it through the head and helped with his injuries. The two stayed there for a bit, talking about a variety of topics such as the Krah, life before the combine, and how they both got to where they were, and most importantly he learned of the location of the camp just before a pack of zombies began moving through the area. Nathan fought for his life even though he was unarmed and injured, ending his assailants barely. His companion was not so lucky, having been torn open by a poison zombie. He took the body and after quite a long time of walking with the corpse in hand he reached the camp, half dead. Nathan was given food and water by some of the Krah and eventually was able to join with them. He is hopeful to prove himself to his people now, waiting for his chance.

RODRIGO MORENO

==============================

A previous construction foreman now turned rebellious freedom fighter, Rodrigo Moreno finds himself a well known member of the Indìgena de Madrid, leading many of his fellow countrymen through co-ordinated attacks against Civil protection and their allies throughout City 59.


However much of a good fighter he is, Rodrigo is unable to escape the sorrows of his past. Growing up in the poorer areas of Spain, Rodrigo only had his family to comfort him through his life, raising two children alongside his wife, he was content with his situation...until the Resonance Cascade Occured and the Xenian invasion took everything from him...

As the years passed by and the earth's occupation passed on to the Combine, hundreds of empty bottles drowned Rodrigo's sorrows...He was bitter, cold and contained a boiling hatred for the Xenians of the planet, he couldn't get over the fact of how Humanity had forgiven them for what they did...

But they had a mutual enemy now, the Universal Union and their oppression against the people of his planet, a situation that will cause him to work alongside the things he despises the most...

Kraas'Etan, as depicted by Daag'Lo (@ClapTrap) (Rebel art created by jake0419)


Trouble is brewing for City 59. The Krah'Aur'Nur have travelled from the faraway land of Geneva back to their settlement known as El Valle. The trading outpost is wealthy, safely hidden from the Combine, and possesses an antlion farm which provides enough food to feed the dozens of humans and vortigaunts who live amongst them. Their vast resources have attracted the enigmatic Tyrant to live amongst them, a fitting figure amongst the heavy presence of Xenian iconography.

Meanwhile, nearly half a country away, resistance groups fight for independence in City 59. Whilst a stable city, for now, years of oppression from both the Combine and the Futurist government have left the people ready for a revolt any day now. The Indígena de Madrid has slowly grown from the innermost parts of the city, widening it's sphere of influence to the point it has grown city wide. They've put infiltrators in key places in the city's systems, ready to spark mass riots. However, the group lack the resources. An uprising without more firepower than they have right now is doomed for failure. The plan was simply for the group to bide their time whilst they continued to gather supplies.

That was until they established radio contact with a far off settlement.

THIS EVENT WILL BE CONSIDERED CANON TO WILLARD LORE.

Krah'Aur'Nur (El Valle)View attachment 28749
A member of the Krah'Aur'Nur. Defying the will of the Grand Elders, members of the Krah'Aur'Nur were often Vortigaunts disillusioned with the guidance of their higher powers. When they came to Earth, many humans sympathised with the cause of the Krah'Aur'Nur. Both human and vortigaunt rallied under the banner of Elder Kraas'Etan, who led them on a pilgrimage to Spain, where they took a small mining town from a group of savage vortigaunts who had repurposed it into a sanctuary.

The lowest rank among the tribe is that of Newblood, who serve as line infantry whilst they undergo a series of trials to prove their worth. Directly above them are the Warriors, who act as guiding peers for their Newblood counterparts and leading them in battle as groups. The highest attainable rank is Guardian, the wisest and most battle-tested of the Krah'Aur'Nur. They made up the council serving under the Elder, and acted similarly to commissioned officers in traditional military structure.

(THE TRIBE WELCOMES BOTH HUMANS AND VORTIGAUNTS. YOU MAY APPLY AS A HUMAN OR VORTIGAUNT CHARACTER)

A Spanish footsoldier of Indígena de Madrid, a rebellion group working to liberate City 59. You may be a new initiate to the group, or a more seasoned soldier who is happy taking the more dangerous jobs of hitting Civil Protection supply convoys, participating in the local black market, avoiding sweeps and smuggling supplies around the city. You've got a new job - making physical contact with the vortigaunt tribe, the Krah'Aur'Nur, and setting up a supply line with them to the city so you can start arming the populace. There is one among you who will act as a squad leader to the rest, trusted to lead the rest into battle and represent the interests of Indígena de Madrid in the presence of the Krah'Aur'Nur.

Chad Ruddy Vajo is a mexican man with the personality of old-school gunslinging cowboys, he is also regarded as a survivor to others for his time spent away from the Combine cities and in the outlands. He had many run-ins with beasts alike, and one had almost felled him if it wasn’t for the support of the El Valle Krah’Aur’Nur.

Chad had quickly risen through the ranks from Newblood to Warrior, where he gained more skills and understanding of the Krah’s history. During one of the many trials for him to ascend to Guardian, he lost his eye - and some may cry over that, Chad took it in stride and added it to the list of scars and wounds he gained over the years.

Now as a Guardian of El Valle, he awaits further orders from the Elder and continues his duty to El Valle.
