How Long have you rped in hl2rp?: More than two years.
Have you ever roleplayed as a vortigaunt? : Nope, however I am a
fast learner.
Reason For being an Enslaved Vortigaunt?: (Min 50 Words)
(Assuming OOC) Ever since I first started roleplaying, passive
RP has always been my favorite. Being an enslaved Vortigaunt is
the pure essence of passive roleplay, as all you're doing is
performing the orders given by the Combine: usually cleaning. My
love for passive RP stems from the actual requirements to do it,
which is not much. The act, or better worded, the lack of the
act of having to perform tasks like it's some sort of action
movie. Additionally, I love Vortigaunts; I honestly think
they're cute creatures.
RolePlay Example as an Enslaved Vortigaunt?: (Min 15 Lines)
[Assuming sentences.]
J'zar steps outside of the Metropol and heads into the plaza,
trusty broom in hand. He begins to sweep the sidewalks from the
trash that the humans have left behind. A Metrocop walks up to
him, stunstick in hand.
"Take out the trash of all the trashcans in the plaza and bring
it to the dumpster." The Metrocop grips his stunstick while
another unit walks up to the Vort and escorts him. J'zar is
brought to the first trash can, having to pick up all the trash
that has been placed outside of the trash can. He picks up the
bags, starting off with two bags, and brings it to the dumpster.
Behind him, the units are laughing, seemingly at J'zar. They
talk about the Enslaved Vortigaunts' menial work and the new
stunsticks they won't be getting this year. He drops the bags
into the dumpster and a thump is heard, then a man speaks out.
"That was my head, you dick!" The Citizen looks up from the
trash can, ready to spew his carcinogenic fluids at whoever just
dumped trash on his head while he was trying to get some old,
discarded gear.
"Oh, it's just a Vort. Hi, how's it going." The Citizen doesn't
look mad anymore, he rests his elbow on the edge of the dumpster
and rests his head on his hand.
"We are not allowed to speak. J'zar must go." J'zar turns
around, in fear that the units might hurt him from talking to a
Citizen, despite it being brief. He heads back over to the
trashcan and starts to pick up more trash. Around him, the units
are laughing and pushing him around.
"After you're done with the trash, shine our boots." They start
laughing even more at J'zar, but he doesn't seem to mind. All
this constant harassment and scrutiny from the units has
somewhat numbed him to the pain of being a slave. He walks
towards the dumpster, and without surprise, the Citizen is still
dumpster diving. He drops the trash in, trying to avoid the
dumpster diving Citizen, but ends up hitting him anyway.
"Watch it!" The dirty dumpster diver comes up from the trash
with a carton on his head. "Try not to hit me!"
"J'zar does not intend on hitting you with the trash."
The Citizen sighs at J'zar's response and continues looking in
the trash.
J'zar walks back to the CPs, waiting patiently for their
response.
"J'zar has taken out the trash." The units drop a rag and shoe
polish on the ground. J'zar, being forced to, takes the rag and
begins polishing their boots, one by one. The units laugh at
him. J'zar feels humiliated and discouraged, but he continues to
polish their boots out of fear.
Roleplay Example as a Free Vortigaunt? : (Min 15 lines)
[Assuming sentences]
"Hey Vort buddy, we can't see! Could you give us a light orb?"
The rebels escort him through the sewers, looking at J'zar for a
response.
"This one has lost the connection to the Vortessence. Such power
cannot be tapped into." J'zar shrugs, and continues walking. He
almost slips into the dirty sewer water once but he was caught
by a rebel before he could fall in. He reaches a rebel camp,
full of men and women armed with guns. He looks around with his
large crimson eye, walking through the rebel camp. He sees a
fellow Vortigaunt, demonstrating the Vortessence to men and
women unfamiliar with the powers it can give you. J'zar walks up
to the Vortigaunt and asks him a simple question:
"Is this one a teacher," J'zar asks, "or is this one the
student?" The other Vort looks at J'zar, shaking his head.
"My kin have been ssstripped of the Vortessence by the
masssssked ones. We cannot teach." J'zar looks downward, wishing
that he could find a teacher. A young looking woman, possibly in
her early 20s, motions J'zar to come over to her.
"Hey, Vort. Nice to meet you. I'm Nelly." She reaches her hand
out for J'zar to shake it. J'zar ignores the offer.
"This one is named J'zar." J'zar points to himself and stares at
Nelly. Awkward silence lingers between them before J'zar hears
in on a Vortigaunt flux shifting. The masssked onessss are
coming! J'zar alerts everyone and helps everyone get into battle
stations. He waits in a safe area for the fight.
* * *
Unfortunately, the rebel base was wiped out. However, they
didn't sweep J'zar's area so he made it through the entire
battle. Through the entire base, the bodies of rebels line the
floors with blood and bullet holes. He walks through the
massacre and goes into the sewer, looking disappointed. He
manages to find a headcrab, in which he stomps on multiple times
before killing it and eating it. J'zar wanders through the
slums, looking for someplace to stay.
[WIP]
Enslaved Vortigaunt Backstory. : J'zar, living a happy life on
Earth after a noble scientist had killed the Nilhilanth before
the Combine had crossed the portal to conquer Earth. He had a
plan: hide for as long as possible. He was preparing a shelter
with years of food and water in a far away place, away from the
city of Phoenix. When the Combine had sweeped the area, he went
undetected. He lived in his shelter for about 4 months before
being found out after a Combine soldier had attempted to enter
the shelter. He was captured and sent to City 17 on Earth,
enslaved. From that day forth, he took a vow to forever despise
the Combine for taking away his happiness permanently. Now, he's
left to be unhappy and depressed in City 17, forced to do harsh
and painful work with no end in sight.
Enslaved Vortigaunt Name: J'zar.

Vortigaunts use We/Us, right?
J'zar walks up to the rebel, clasping his claws together. The
other freed Vortigaunt stands behind, waiting patiently.
"We are grateful for actions of liberating us from the grasp of
the Combine."
