Because we could never have enough of these.

STORY

     The great war of men and combine has been going on for years. Combine enslaving all they captured. From citizens living in City 17, to refugees, fighting for freedome. They captured them all. Gordon COULD come to the rescue, but he's off at Nova Prospect. You may think that his friends stopped him from going there, but they were to late. Gordon got onto that train headed for Nova Prospect, and is now in a pod, on one of the thousands of miles of wall. Now it's time for YOU to be a hero. Create a character and fight against the forces of the combine. Unless of course you WANT to be a combine! Or you don't have to be either. Be a peace loving Vortigaunt, or one that loves war even more. Be a stalker, a slave to the combine. The choices are all yours. Good luck.

CHARACTER OPTIONS

Please note that vortigaunts or anything that isn't human or combine, can be on the side of the combine, humans, or just on neither side if they want to

     CLASSES (Combine)

     Police- Be one with law. Stop law breakers throughout City 17, or perhaps outside City 17, to take care of those who refuse to stay in their place. Maybe even break into a few houses if you receive the orders to do so.

     Soldier- Be right on the front lines taking care of the humans DUMB enough to fight against the combine. Armed with better weapons then police, you will be taking more bullets. Trained to fly attack helicopters, the humans won't have a chance.

     Super- Be smack dab right in the Citadel, watching over stalkers, making sure humans aren't escaping, and rushing to battle if needed. Armed with amazing weapons that no other combine can come across, you'll be a force to be reckoned with.

     Stalker- Slave to the combine. Do their bidding keep track of everything in the Citadel. The combine will not tolerate it if you have rude behavior, you need to OBEY as this class.

     Scientist- Develop new ways for the combine to bring down the human forces. Maybe even develop a new breed of combine someday...

     CLASSES (Humans)

     Citizen- A pawn in City 17. Live a normal life, and run from a few combine trying to break into your house as well. Will you be a law breaker, or a good boy/girl?

     Refugee- On the run for the combine. You stop at nothing to get away. You would rather die then get captured.

     Rebel- Fighting against the combine. Be in the middle of the war, killing every combine in sight! Or maybe you're hanging out in a camp, planning an assault.

     Medic- Help your fellow rebels defeat the combine forces by healing them with an assortment of healing objects

     Scientist- Develop new ways for the humans to bring down the combine forces. Maybe you could be the reasons the humans win the war some day...

     OR MAKE YOUR OWN :D

WEAPONS

     And yes, all weapons (besides the stunstick) require ammo

     Stunstick- An electrified beating stick. Shocking, isn't it...

     Pistol- High fire rate, but it doesn't deal much damage.

     Revolver- A slower fire rate, but a headshot is an instant kill.

     SMG- A very high fire rate and deals decent damage.

     Shotgun- A slow fire rate and terrible accuracy but great damage. Best suited for close corridors.

     Crossbow- An instant kill on any part of the body. Very great accuracy.

     Pulse Cannon- A very strong version of the SMG. Can fire instant kill 'Combine Balls', but only combines have them to spare.

     Rocket Launcher- Fires a rocket that can be guided by the built in laser sight on the launcher.

     Grenade- If you don't know what this is, you're an idiot.

YOU CANNOT HAVE GRAVITY GUNS! THE ONLY ONE IN EXISTANCE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET SINCE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE IT WON'T JUST LET YOU TAKE IT

LOCATIONS

     City 17- The main area. Citizens live here, and police combine patrol the streets. This is also home to a large train station, with trains that lead to pretty much anywhere.

     Citadel- The biggest building in existence. This is where captured humans are held captive. Tons of technology and combine. Most people don't dare to enter. This is basically Hell if you disobey the combine here.

     Water Ways- A large river that leads from City 17, all the way to Eli's lab. A few groups of combine sit around in the buildings next to it. You're gonna want to bring an airboat.

     Eli's Lab- The lab where most stuff goes down. Refugees come here from time to time to take a breather. The entrance to Ravenholm lies here, but it's blocked off. The only way to get in is if you start there, or you happen to PRY THE DOOR BLOCKING IT OPEN!

     Ravenholm- Home to tons of zombies and headcrabs. There is not one breed of zombie that isn't here. Only an idiot would stay in the open for more then two seconds.

     Highway 17- A destroyed highway, that some people ride to avoid the combine. Some even ride it for their own amusement. Several groups of combine lay away in the buildings that obstruct the path of those who ride it. If you don't have a car, it's gonna be a long walk...

     Sandtraps- A large batch of sand and rubbish from collapsed houses and buildings. One step on the sand, and you'll get rushed by antlions.

     Nova Prospect- Used to be a prison, now the combine use it as a base. It's used to hold captured humans, like the Citadel. It isn't as big however, and it isn't easy to break into.

     Along with these, there are many other locations like refugee camps, combine bases, labs, etc. USE YOUR IMAGINATION

CHARACTER LAYOUT

When you role play, you must put this before your actions or story

Status: Are you healthy? Dead?

RULES

2. You can control other people, but don't make them do something completely handicapped, or end up in a terrible situation, unless they allow you to do so.

Refugees are running from the combine, while REBELS fight, so I'm gonna be a rebel, m'kay?

Name: Wilson Greene
Species: Human
Side: Human
Class: Rebel
Location: City 17, the "Fire" district (A place I made up that is constantly rebelling against the combine, and losing, and because of this is almost always on fire.)
Inventory (2/6): Mounted AR2 belts (4)
Status: Healthy


I see the hunter choppers in the distance. These new babies we acquired from the combine, Mounted AR2s, are atleast twice as powerful, loud, and fire quickly, and can quickly take down anything the combine throw at us very fast. I flip the cooling system on, and I glance at the building across the street. Four other AR2 gunners were preparing to shoot. I put my goggles over my face, and yell, "Long live the revolution!"

But, before I could do anything, several headcrab shells land in the street under me. I see people yelling at the barricade that separates the city from the fire district, and shooting at the headcrabs.

Name: Max Mcgowan
Species: Human
Side: Humans
Class: Refugee
Location: City 17
Inventory (0/6): Nothing
Status: Excited

A bullet whizzed by and a grenade exploded inches away from me. This was the thrill I enjoyed about being on the run from the combine. I tucked and rolled and hopped down to a smaller building. I leaped up and grabbed a pole. I swung on it and landed on a window ledge. I dashed inside and sprinted out the door to the house I ended up in. Sprinted up the stairs, down a hall, back onto the rooftops and- oh lord. The combine knew I was coming. There was only one chance left to escape. I dove off the building and landed on a combine car. I recovered quickly, got back up on my feet, and headed toward the train station. Combine everywhere tried to shoot me, but my ducks and dives were too quick. A jump onto a bench and leap into a ball and roll and get back up here, and a slide under a combine car and use a combine to propel my self farther there. Eventually I arrived. I burst inside and ran toward the train that was on it's way out. I stopped dead in my tracks. Combine were blocking the place off to anyone without a ticket. I took a look around, then had a plan. I burst through the rotation fence door and hopped onto the actual fence. I sprinted across the top of it an hands and feet. Bullets whizzing by. I made one last leap and rolled onto the train. I lied down and decided to enjoy the ride.

The roar of the helicopter blades is drowned out by the dark energy cannons of the new Mk33 Helicopters. It takes out five of the AR2's gunners, however, the normal Hunter-Choppers are shot down, but the Mk33 remains. It acquires the last target... Suddenly ground forces are being attacked by the headcrabs. He opens up on them, but suddenly, sees a rocket veering towards him. He takes the helicopter low, jumping out into the ground fight...

What was that


Name: Corporal Adrian Shepard (I PMd Jokey for approval)
Race: human
Side: undetermined
Class: HECU Survivor
Location: street in district 67 of city 17
Equipment: MP5 [3], desert eagle [1], monkey wrench
Status: Confused

The first thing I noticed was that I could hear. the sounds of gunfire and shouting. I tried to open my eyes, but my body... seemed much too tired. the last thing I remember after the Black Mesa incident was a man in a suit.... offering me employment. the son of a bitch put me in statis for god knows how long. after a minute, my eyes crack open to see the blue sky, and the overhang of a nearby roof. once I finnally mustered enough strentgh to get up, I realized I wasnt in America. the writing was russian. the buildings were all filthy, with garbage everywhere. a large silver tower loomed on the horizen. I felt for my weapons, and found the standard milatary MP5 and desert eagle, as well as the wrench I grabbed at Black Mesa. after another minute, a group of men in body armor and gas masks began to approach me, weapons drawn. I held out the MP5 threateningly. they paused. then one said: "your name, civillian? Im confiscating those guns and that uniform." the instant he said "confiscate those guns" I sprang to my feet and aimed it at their group. they held up pistols, and one held some sort of submachine gun. we stood there a long time, gathering onlookers in a circle around us every moment. great. now their were civillians involved.
and then it happened. one of the men tensed his finger on the trigger and opened fire on me. I instantly hit the dirt and shot back. The men dropped like flies, but not before I took a bullet in the shoulder. the pain was too much, and I blacked out.

I woke up in a house with a doctor looking over me. a pair of men in rudimentary body armor carrying SMGs guarded the door. The doctor leaned over me and asked: "what is your name? can you tell me?"
"Adrian Shepard, US marine. a corproral."
"huh. welcome to city 17. in case your interested, were in bulgaria. but since the combines have taken over, theres really no difference between here and the rest of europe."
"combines? who are they?
"the men who shot you in the street."
"ah."
"and due to that public spectacle, your now a wanted man. and a hero among the citizens of the city. you see, we are the resitence. were trying to throw off the reigns of alien oppression.""
"I see. so those men I fought... were aliens?"
"not really. men payed to work for the aliens."
"oh. any aliens I might know? I was at the black mesa incident."
"vortigaunts. the lightnig ones. theyre our friends."
"really? thoses guys almost killed me at black mesa."
" yes, yes. theres to much to explain. listen, get some rest, and we'll have some history for you to read"
"sounds like a plan."
And I fell asleep.


finish this later

But seriously, looks like a neat roleplay game. I don' particularly want to take part myself, but I want to see someone try and be Gordon Freeman. Be like a prequel or something.

Name: Klaus Frasier
Race: Human
Occu: Runner
Class: Refugee
Items(3): [Mail Satchel, Revolver(12), Combat Knife]
Loc: City 17

Klaus walked briskly across the bridge, moving through the crowd like a bullet through water. The drop off point was just ahead, his contact waiting on a bench. As he walked up to him, the man jumped up and pushed him on the floor, the contents of his satchel spilling out over the floor. The contact took the proper letter before running through the crowd. Behind his pretense of being robbed, Klaus smiled victoriously.

Overwatch: All residences of local block, please report to inspection area immediately. Failure to co-operate will result in permanent off world relocation.
[I start with the first door to my left. Me and another squad member knock it down and rush in. I see a letter with the rebel logo on it, so I quickly grab it off the table. My partner grabs the resident of the room, and we drag him to the APC for questioning.]
Me: Haha. Looks like we're gonna have some fun.
[As I am running to the APC, a rebel starts to shoot me in the back, hitting me a couple times. I pulled out my pistol and fire a few shots back, and then board the APC. The APC drives off to our overwatch base.]

Inventory: city 17 civillian clothing, False ID
Status: inquisitive

for the next few hours after I awoke, I spent my time reading the history text the rebels had prepared for me. it was all very interesting, but I was getting more eager for action. the rebels had given me a false ID and some civillian clothing. when I asked where my guns and uniform were, they said the uniform was being washed and the guns being modified to fit modern magazines into them. after all, no matter who ruled the earth, a nine milimeter bullet was still a nine milimeter bullet.While waiting for my belongings to be returned, I explored the facility. it was full of rebels, in all forms of armor and clothing you could possibly imagine. after a few hours, my stuff was ready to be reclaimed.

they sat me down at a table of grim looking men and served cold food. we all ate, and finally, one of the men spoke.
"Adrian Shepard. we all want to know: will you help us?"
I looked up from my plate. after a few seconds, I said somthing that would change my life forever.
"yes I will."

The train finally pulled to a stop. I fell asleep. stuff! God knows where I ended up. I looked around, and realised I was on a bridge. Highway 17... perfect. I hopped off of my perch and looked around. I whipped around. Another train was coming. I began to sprint in the opposite direction. It was getting to close. I leaped off the bridge and dove into the water below. It was an incredibly long drop. I floated for a bit since the fall drained my energy. I was eventually washed up onto a shore. Thankfully there was a boat house nearby. I strolled inside, hopped into the suspended boat, and took a nap.

C'mon guys

ANOTHER text RP?

Anooother one?

After the fifty others that got 40 million people following it who abandoned it almost immediately afterwards?

If you're going to do something like this restrict it to a short roster of characters all in the same area, having it open just makes everything a pain in the ass to manage/keep up with.

I know some of the people who play these are good at writing and stuff, but seriously.
