Hey, don't be harsh. Twisted, I don't think I will allow you to shoot electricity out of your eye, I just don't think its physiologically possible in... well... the version of the Half-Life mythos that Valve uses.
Also, I am going to have to see better quality writing in your posts for you to use a Vortigaunt character. The Vortigaunts should be played by very experienced roleplayers who know a good deal about the Half-Life universe.
Good luck,

Hey, you guys, I am (unfortunately) getting ready to go to a funeral out of state. This might cut the start of this RPG by as much as a week (blah). Yeah, it sounds like I am just making up bullcrap but I'm serious. Blame the powers that be.
What I think I want to do is give all of the characters an introductory update, and put them in a situation in which you can feel free to roleplay with NPCs and (maybe) each other. I didn't really want to start everyone off in a big group right at the start, I wanted you to ease in on this.
So: Three options, choose quickly. I won't actually tally votes, but the general concensus will be chosen.
1. Start after I get back from the funeral. Better introductory post, action-packed beginning.
2. Start possibly tomorrow, put you in a low-key situation with the potential to roleplay a little. I can see your style of roleplaying and get to know you. No real story-moving action allowed until I get back.
3. Give someone (Jintor?) the reigns until I get back, as a sort of substitute gamemaster. Nothing story-moving, Jintor, but maybe you can 'act' a little bit more.
What'll it be?

Meh hope its not too late to sign up.... Would like to see if this is something I could get into.
Name: T.J. MacReady (You just gotta love John Carpenter's movies)
Age:23
Physical Description: Average size, medium length hair, eyes have become an orange and green haze that represents his inner inhumanity.
Occupation: Trains others in the art of survival and gives important information on most creatures.
History:After the Black Mesa incident and all Hell broke loose, during which time he was still a young man, he never got to experience the rest of life. When the Portal Storms came, and the Combine arrived, he didn't beleive their propaganda. He didn't want to live in the Cities like a prisoner. He escaped to the Wastelands and managed to survive for a good few years. Near present time, he came across a band of escaping citizens. From that point on they became his only family. Complete strangers brought together under harsh circumstances. They worked to help free citizens from other cities. But spending most of your years in the Wastelands can do things to a man.
He had exhibited violent tendencies and was nothing more than a dangerous, less than sane human who fought every day of life from the Arrival on through the years. No matter how he tried he couldn't change it. He cracked and killed a citizen while he and his squad was on a rescue one night.
They said they couldn't be around someone who was becoming more and more like his enemies as each day passes. He lost it all again. Then, found a new objective. Use this against his enemy. He found just the place that may need this burning desire to eliminate his enemy. Present time, he works as a survivalist, training soldiers in the Caribbean how to survive under the harshest conditions.
Abilities/Skills: As long as there is a good supply of Xen Fauna around, squads will never go hungry. He can also craft weapons out of spare parts and some objects. Also has developed sharper instincts and knowledge of the aliens that now inhabit the Wastelands
Motivation: Suvival and victory
Forgive me if that was too long.

Okay, it's your guys call, I hope you know that the earliest I can post the RP thread is Sunday night (ouch). For now, think about your characters, possible backstories, and generally chill out. Should be fun, we'll probably get more sign-ups as well, so more people to romp around the Half-Life universe with.
@TollBooth
Nah, it wasn't too long at all, good character. Seriously, though, I've seen characters with six pages of backstory. Now those guys... yeah, it sucks having to read through all of that. Anyway, cool character, look forward to seeing him in Stormwreck.

Rain...
It was raining.
The rain beat down on the island. It battered, smashed and crashed its way through everything in its path, the wind howling alongside it, carrying debris and plants and anything not bolted or rooted down with it. The sea swirled, wild and stormy, untamed as never seen before. Lighting struck, somewhere in the distance, and a sudden BOOM! as the accompanying thunder-clap exploded.
'Twas a dark and stormy night...

Was that from War of the Worlds the novel?Darkwolf said:Did the thunder break a ship in half *nods
Tis good, but i prefer something more fitting to the context:
May H.G. Wells live on forever.
It was the quiet revelation that we are not alone, and we are definatly not liked.
--In a way, you could almost relate it to a third world uprising against the first. It may not be allegorical or intentionally symbolized, but a unseen prophecy.
Fundamental similarities, but detailed differences.

One thing.... Could ya change it to R.J.? I kinda messed up on the f=initials at the beginning of his name.
Name: Tyson Cassey
Age: 26
Occupationp: Was a NFL player
General Description: 6'4'', 265 pounds. Caucasion, green eyes, blonde hair, and well built.
Skills: Tyson is a very strong man, so he could lift a lot of things a scrawny 5'11'' 175 pound guy couldn't lift. He can bench 250+, and can run the 40 in 6.2. He also has great eyes, and good hand eye-cordnation. Since he played in the NFL he can also tackle your ass into the ground if he wanted.
History: Tyson grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico but moved to Miami, Florida when he was about 16, thankfully they did, or they would've never survived the Black Mesa blast. Although he lived a good life, as his mother was a Secretary for a Lawyer, and his father worked at a High School as a Football coach. Tyson had no brothers or sister, so all the attention was on him, and he loved the attention. When Tyson was in elementary school, he had gotten picked on for being fat, that eventually made Tyson angry and beat up a boy who was making fun of him. Ever since that day, his father signed him up for Football every year. Ever year, Tyson got stronger and became more calmer. When he was a junior in high school, his parents died in a car crash on there way to a party. His parents had a lot of money saved for Tyson if anything ever happened. Tyson didn't want to stay in his old house, so he bought a apartment close to Miami University. He saved up a lot of money and bought the only things he needed, such as school supplies, furniture, food and anything to help him better at football. In his senior year, he had college scouts at his door every day, and after thinking about it his whole senior year, he decided to go to Miami University, since it was so close to his home, plus he didn't have to buy a car or waste money on gas.
He went on to Miami and had a great Freshman year, and became Freshman of the year and got All-American awards. He had a awesome sophmore year, same for his junior and had a great year his senior year. By that time, the portal storms were going on, and in some area's it was getting awful. He was able to be drafted in the NFL, but only played 3 years. The NFL shutdown after the combine came. Ever since then, he's been running for his life.
Motivations: Winning.
