Previous experience with Vortigaunt factions: I kept the Vortigaunt whitelist since 2017 till the creation of HL2RP(2). That's a long time.
Have you read the Vortigaunt Guide?: Yes and thank god it got shortened and simplified.
Character Name: 'Firebug'
What kind of character do you plan on portraying? How do their traits distinguish them from the rest of their species?: I plan to bring Firebug back, but Firebug will not be your usual average 'Vortigaunt' or the way that he was. He will be entirely revamped and away from what he was known for. I want to make something unusual and execute ideas I had in mind while the server was closed off for a while.
Firebug is going to be a cold, stern vortigaunt. Disconnected from his vortigaunt brothers and a true loner among the vortikind. Even he thinks most of the magical powers of the vortigaunts are a myth and rather silly. But the power he posses, he considers it a blessing and a gift. Firebug will act and fight his through the 'Wild West' style while he can. Whatever the humans he met, thought him to do, using his vortessence to his great advantage. Any actions he commits, whether if it's justified or just pure cruel goes without remorse.
Brief Backstory:
Before the invasion of Earth, 'Firebug' or known by his initials: Eeya'Surr, was your typical, average vortigaunt that was enslaved by the Nihilanth on the Border World of Xen. He and amongst his fellow enslaved brethren, struggled to survive the harsh conditions of servitude of the Nihilanth. But Eeya'Surr always remained hopeful at difficult times. Promising to his close bonded brothers that their time of freedom will come and the times of servitude will end. He encouraged them remain strong and always to be ready for the right time. The story of the vortigaunts and their escape from Xen applies for Firebug.
The catastrophe of the Black Mesa Incident has begun.
As many of the vortigaunt had teleported together or found their to their kinds later on, Firebug was one of the lonely vortigaunts on Earth, isolated from their brethern and struggled to survive on the harsh conditions of the unknown Earth. He had no knowledge of his new surrounding and the dangers he was about to face. Many enemies to fear, in this particular instance, the humans themselves were a big worry. Neither he or them knew how to act upon one and another. In his travels, he met many human kinds, but none of them were any kindful enough to even say a 'Hello' to the poor alien creature. Firebug flee and fled upon to some sort kind of safety he could find. But only finding himself in a loop of constant danger, wasting his precious time to create allies, while the invasion of the Combine slowly made their way into the books of History.
But a wonder had happened, that changed his life forever.
Perhaps not the best or the most hopeful kind of changes of his life, but rather something strong and helpful for Firebug. A group of inspired 'Outlaws of the Wild West' met upon the lone alien creature that lingered the grounds of a 'Lost World'. Firebug saw them as another aggressive human beings, however... The group thought differently. The group quickly learned more about Firebug's abilities and appearance. They saw great use of him and offered him a position within their gang. While he thought it wasn't the best or the wisest choice he made, but his only choice.
Firebug adapted to the human presence and quickly learned most of the philosophies that exists on the 'lost world' of the remaining Earth. Firebug became a great protégé of the gang as The Group thought him of survival, the history of Earth, the history of the Wild West, the American Frontier and the human language that allowed Firebug to be able to communicate with his new fellow brothers in their spoken language, that being the English language, but even he began to speak it with an Western American accent. More humanly than any other vortigaunt could do. But they thought him on one specific subject: 'Never regret your decisions, just move on.' This wording led Firebug to grow a strong but cold stern personality, as he became one of the most fearing member of the gang. His appearance may look goofy at a glance, but his enemies will be met upon with nightmares as soon as they underestimate him.
As time passed on, The Group became one of the most fearsome gangs of the lost world, committing several cruel actions that would've been considered major 'crimes' by the previous world. But in the current world, among the other resistance groups, the Group itself is a crime in the eyes of the Combine. And Firebug amongst them. During this period, he no longer saw himself as a such kind 'Vortigaunt' no more, nor did he see himself as human kind either, he began to doubt about his identity, his true identity. He no longer medidates nor communicates with other fellow Vortigaunt. He began to find the vortessence and the channeling rather silly and a myth. Firebug still posseses the vortessence and it's magical powers, but he find it to be a gift and a blessing.
As the cruel actions of the group continued to persist, the clashes around the members of the Group began to rise. It brought difficult times within the gang and fights that deemed 'unnecessary' or 'risky' without prevail. Firebug saw no greater promise for the Group aswell, as much as he is thankful to them for raising him up on his lowest point. Members of the Group left and tensions began to rise as the Group continued to make mistakes, after mistakes. The founding member of the gang felt betrayed and let down by his members.
Eventually it was time for Firebug to stand up and approach the founding member of the group, wanting to leave aswell to explore the rest of the world, using the strength they provided him to put up it's use. The founder of The Group partially agreed, but did not plea Firebug to stay, but instead reminded him to not to regret his decision, at all and never. And from this day and forward, Firebug is on his own journey. Whatever the journey may be.
What kind of group(s) are you planning to work with (if any)?:
Firebug will hang around with folks nearby, if it's a possibility that is. Perhaps even help others in the slightest of ways, depending how others react to him. Maybe he will even create new relations with strangers, depending how they are around him. Other than that, Firebug will act as a Loner, having no real bond with his fellow vortigaunts due to the isolation and the events on Earth and will remain on a solo mission to survive for his own good and deal whatever gets in his way.
Do you intend to request a power specific to your character? If so, specify:
Vortal Injection of Adrenaline:
A very rare power that wasn't ever heard of or widely seen among the vortigaunts. It's something the vortigaunts don't talk about, due to it's extreme effects it has.
The Injection of Adrenaline is basically a vortal energy cell that contains all kinds of nutrients and proteins that is injected into their body by hand, these nutrients are then used to create massive pulses for the heart, causing it to work more efficiently and pump up more blood through than ever, too much even where death is fatal after injection.
This is only used at a case of scenario of a lost cause, whether the vortigaunt is surrounded by many enemies or deemed too weak to fight on by an already excessive use of vortessence. Which can be used to die fighting and worthfully or to escape from the danger and die peacefully in freedom. Vortigaunts can inject the power either to their fellow brethern or to themselves.
The injection is a painful process, as the power cell is extremely heated and must be injected near the heart area of the vortigaunt.
1. The first process is to puncture the power cell through the skin to the heart of the vortigaunt. Puncturing through the skin is easily done as the heat easily penetrates the skin to the attended organs. After the injection, it can take up from 30 to 60 seconds for the adrenaline to kick in.
2. As the time passed, the vortigaunt would feel very energized, almost feeling reborn on the spot.
The adrenaline causes the following:
- Increased stamina
- Increased endurance
- High pain tolerance
This effect can last as long as 10 to 15 minutes, giving the vortigaunt plenty of time to fight back and bring itself to safety.
3. After the 10-15 minute mark, the vortigaunt will notice it's decline of the effects, as it gradually weakens the body minute by minute. All the strength in power of the vortessence seem to no longer work, the vortessence is trying to re-energize from it's extreme excessive use, but with a worn out heart and lack of nutrients, the body from the inside is eating itself, causing the vortigaunt slowly lose it's life.
4. After the 20 minute mark, the vortigaunt may pass out and die peacefully on the spot.
