So, we tried to balance out the server making it where you don't have to become a rebel to have fun RP'ing, so we came up with some new ideas, and I believe you'll like them.

 

We will take any suggestions and try to make the server even more fit, we're trying to make the server fun so, that's why the new ideas.

 

Some things on the forum are taken from the hl2rp wiki which can be found at http://www.hl2rp.wikia.com/

 

Why did we take some stuff from the wiki? Well it's a wiki and we can use it for general roleplay if we want, so can any of you, so since it was comfortable, we took some things and set them to be in our roleplay, some things are slightly modified.

 

 

It is 2021, Gordan Freeman, and the rest of the team from Black Mesa are dead, except Dr.Breen of course. You're in City 18, but, it's less

violent than other cities. This is because the prime threats have been eliminated and the Union can "happily" rule over Earth. In City 18 you'll

never see an OTA unit pass by unless there is a giant resistance attack. In City 18 all the MPF officers are equalized, except for the SeC, CmD,

and the DvLs. MPF units are trained equally and when joined, they are completely brainwashed with little to no chance of going rogue unless

held and trained for months. MPF units will not have a rank unless the one of the 3 "higher" ranking levels are achieved, they will be named

with their division and patch number (ex. MPF-VORTEX.PN32 ) ( If DvL/CmD/SeC ex. MPF-VORTEX.PN32.DvL, MPF-CmD.PN32, MPF-SeC.PN32 ) of course

the PN standing for, patch number. Once you reach one of the 3 higher ranking levels, you will get unique specialized training courses to

go through.

 

But enough of the combine, let's check out other factions.

 

As a citizen, there's many things to do, you can become a UNION assigned doctor, once you're made a doctor, you're brainwashed to not

use information against the union, would take months of being held and trained to be de-brainwashed. Another option would be a UNION assigned

store clerk, if you want it for the job of being a store clerk, you can apply in-game to the City Administrator to get a legitimate business,

which will just give you the flag so you can start up a store. There is also more, like being a UNION assigned technician. But, UNION assigned

loyalists which will have access to go into the Nexus are brainwashed so no information is used against the union. Why do we have them

IC'ly brainwashed? Well, we don't want people to become a loyalist, work for the union, and go lulwebul on us, we're giving opportunities to

actually be important, occupied, and have fun without becoming a rebel. All UNION assigned jobs will be posted after factions information.

 

So, then there's vortigaunts huh? Well, when you first get a vortigaunt character, you will be enslaved, trying to efficiently escape no matter

what. As a vort, you cannot talk like a human or MPF officer would, you would talk only when needed and wisely. Your sentences will be about

as short as possible by using correct grammar and punctuation of course. There's not much to vortigaunts, you either know how to roleplay or

don't, I'm not posting a guide here, so look it up at hl2rp.wikia.com to learn.

 

Overwatch Transhuman Arm aka O.T.A/OTA, well, you can become an OTA but you'll barely be on, most people are brainwashed if they are loyalists

and it's hard to get into the slums, if you don't know how to roleplay as an OTA, look it up, hl2rp.wikia.com should help a bit. The OTA's follow under

the CmD or SeC's command for sweeps and under the City Administrator's command when inside the Nexus.

 

Overwatch Transhuman Arm Ranks

- OMEGA, you are allowed to have an SMG and pistol at all times

- SWORD, you are allowed to have an SMG, shotgun and pistol at all times

- PHANTOM, you are allowed to have a Pulse Rifle, SMG, shotgun, pistol, as a PHANTOM you will be the lead of sweeps and raids

for your squad

 

MPF Divisions and Ranks

 

-VORTEX, the VORTEX division is the main combat division, they are the first to go in on any raids.

-SURGEON, the SURGEON division is the medical division, they perform surgery on units and are stationed in the hospital near the nexus.

-METRO, the METRO division is the technological/mechanical divison, they work on technology in the nexus and fix things ranging from vehicles

to weapons.

-HUNTER, the HUNTER squad is the recruiting/recon division, they will recruit units and be recon units in any raids or sweeps for backup.

 

Loyalist Specialty

-INTEL, the INTEL division is the undercover division, these will be highly-brainwashed loyalists which will be handed a radio, request device,

and a 9MM pistol for defense. The INTEL division infiltrates any sort of rebellions and gives intelligence to the UNION on them.

For a loyalist to become an INTEL loyalist, they must have 5 UL (Union Loyalty) Points, which means that they succesfully helped the union

gather intel of some sort with no hesitation.

( The INTEL division is created so you can have some more fun after being a loyalist for a bit )

 

Union Of Citizen Employment

 

UNION Assigned Technician, as a UAT, you will be taken into the Nexus for technical work by an officer on the METRO division.

 

UNION Assigned Doctor, as a UAD, you will be taken into the Nexus for medical work by an officer on the SURGEON division.

 

UNION Assigned Mechanic, as a UAM, you will be taken into the Nexus for mechanical work by an officer on the METRO division.

 

UNION Assigned Store clerk, as a UASC, you will be given permission to open a custom store at any time.

 

( When you have a UNION Assigned job, you are taken into the Nexus, and are HIGHLY brainwashed, also, you're trained. )

 

 

 

The map we are using which is rp_c18_v1 ( I know, over-used, but it's we don't have much of a community, so a small map is needed )

is set in Arendal, Norway. MPF officers have norwegian accents also but, it is mostly covered by their vo-coder.

 

Server Canon

 

 

This is based on the HL2RP wikia which can be found at www.hl2rp.wikia.com

Why did I use the HL2RP wikia? Well, it's a wiki, anyone can use it, and I liked the information on there and felt comfortable with it being used to RP with. It is also slightly edited.

 

The Combine Empire (or sometimes known as the Universal Union) are an alien race of unknown origins that has invaded Earth a few years after the Black Mesa Accident. Earth was already damaged because of the huge swarms of Xen creatures rushing through the open portal between the two worlds, but unfortunately, the portal also acted as a very bright beacon that has been seen by The Combine Empire. The empire itself is a very powerful race that is able to invade into different universes and take over planets, draining the worlds' resources and possibly turning the critters that used to live there into slaves or Synths like Hunters and Striders.

The Combine Empire doesn't seem to be in its own control, it seems to be controlled by the Universal Union and its leaders, the Advisors.

 

It also doesn't seem to have perfect portal technology. The Combine technology and their military forces can be teleported into different universes, yet they cannot teleport from one place in a universe to another place in the same universe, meaning that they can only move from places on planets to other planets and between planets themselves via vehicles. That is possibly the reason of why they want to get a hold of the Borealis, an Aperture Science vessel that might contain better portal technology.

 

In City 18, 2017, there was madness, the slums were overrun by resistance. Contraband, unlawful acts, and yelling in the distance was common. Loyalists were low chances and the Union had to take out the threats, there was a massive slums sweep which contained 2 Overwatch Transhuman Arm squads to breach each door and try to find something. Eventually, like every...other...rebel...they were caught and amputated. Since then, the Union of C18, which is officially named 'METROVEX' has been trying to clean-up the city as much as they can of these unlawful anti-citizen acts. About 2019 is when it came into full-effect and the city became mostly filled with loyalists or neutral citizens.

 

Soon after, the original threats from Black Mesa died in 2019, Gordon Freeman, Barney, Dr.Kleiner, Alyx Vance, were killed by a Black-Mesa attack from the Union, all of them. As of now, it is year 2021, a big stationary city is City 18, which is where most citizens are sent in, it is located in Arendal, Norway. The MPF officers are less agressive and the city is calm with barely any "rebels" it is safe and is entirely secure for the citizen's safety. There's different opportunities as a citizen as long as you abide by the combines rule, you've been on Breen's Water for a bit and you forgot why the Union could be bad at all. You're not aware of any memory loss and you believe the city is safe and secure.

 

You'll never see anyone that is an ex-marine or has some sort of fighting skills, you can't remember why, but you feel you have your finger on it, you assume they just happily joined the Union. Consistently, you hear speeches on why resisting from loyalty to the union is bad and how any unlawful acts are extremely prohibited and have terrible consequences. All the acts of 'METROVEX' and the City Administrator are for your safety, they will protect you. Compared to the other cities 'METROVEX' units have weird patches, just a division and a patch number, something like "VORTEX.PN12". Everyone is supposed to be equally treated in City 18, except the rebels...

 

The Combine Advisors, known as "Shu'ulathoi" by the Vortigaunts, are the masterminds behind the Combine occupation of Earth, and are commonly speculated as being the master race of the entire Combine empire and under them is the Earth Administrator, Dr. Breen and then the City Administrator, which has more power than any rank in the Union and controls their city. The CmD/SeC will take over mostly for any sweeps or anything under the City Administrator's orders.

 

 

 

What Makes Us Different

 

- We give the privilege to have 'pe' flags to anyone which allows you to have a physics gun and spawn props

- Canon is slightly different

- I haven't seen many loyalist employments or anything such, but we have them

- MPF Units are equalized unless the ranks of DvL, CmD, or SeC are reached

- Citizens actually drink Breen's Water which will make them forget why the Union is corrupt, no resistance, yet

 

Resistance Rules

 

1. You need a solid back-story to become a resistance member, you can become one at anytime, but you need at least one paragraph worth of back-story on why you became a rebel, otherwise, you're a lolwebul and you'll be banned

2. To actually become a resistance member, IC'ly you'd have to find some kind of evidence to prove the union guilty ( Taking pictures would be good evidence of erm, your in-game evidence )

 

Server's Common Sense

If you're being an idiot purposely such as putting mingy descriptions, names and making mingy characters, you'll just be banned. This applies to everything else, just have common sense. If you don't actually know how to role play, there are guides online for HL2RP, we will partly teach you some RP, but will not be spending most of our time teaching you, because the best teacher, is yourself. Any form of spamming or breaking rules in general, it's just a ban. We're not strict, but we don't want people ruining roleplay or any drama, so you'll most likely be warned, kicked, and banned if it proceeds, simple as that.

General information (IC):

CCA apps: IC/OOC

Vort apps: OOC

Crafting weapons: Steam chat

Citizens: Citizens on our server, aren't brainless slugs who slug around a backpack and sit in the plaza all day, they are people with emotions and instincts.

How you can RP as a citizen:

Refugee: The vast majority of citizens in HL2, are hoping, and helpful towards the resistance. Refugees, hide resistance members, try to aid them during fights, and help transfer medical drops, food drops, ETC. You can either join the CCA, as an undercover, or you can flat out join the resistance. As a resistance member, your weapons are flimsly (shanks, cleavers etc) but you are permitted to craft a crossbow/bolts/grappling hook/AK47, and use these weapons to your advantage. We will ONLY permit the crafting of the items listed above.

Crafting items, are not IC, and you ONLY need an OK from a super admin to get a weapon. We don't like limiting people :)

 

 

Loyalist:

Loyalists are people who are easily conveyed, and therefore loyal to the benefactors. All though naive, they have the trust of the benefactors, and appear to have more rights. They are used as models for society. From loyalist, you can join an undercover faction of citizens who infiltrate the resistance and imprision refugees, or you can join the CCA/CWU.

Ranks

RCT- You have only a stunstick, have to FEAR RP more often, and have no idea whats going on. You're just starting off and are still malnourished, and still like the citizens.

05- You now have a pistol, and only need to FEAR RP, around highly ranked officers, and during fire fights. You can be hardass, but you need a legit reason. You are still slightly malnourished though, so you get no roll bonus in a fist fight.

04- You now have basic training, a pistol and have become adjusted into the CCA. You now can be a hardass, you are well fed, and you get a +10 roll bonus in a fight. However, a slight fear rp is needed around highly ranked units.

03- You now have a SMG, and if you did not enter the CCA pre-meditating going rogue, you can NOT go rogue. You are now developing muscle, have little to no remorse for citizens, and no more fear rp around highly ranked units. You gain a +15 roll bonus

02- Pretty much the same an 03, but more trust and authority, brainwashing starts today.

01- Shotgun, complete hardass, +25 roll bonus, no fear rp.

Highly ranked officers: +30 roll bonus all weaponry, no fear rp advanced marksman training.

 

Even though there are ranks, they mostly are for feelings and what you can handle, they are not shown in MPF's Names.
