What can I roleplay?

Within reason, pretty much anything you like. City 12 is a mature roleplaying community, set within the bleak alternative world of Half Life 2. A unique dystopia, HL2 is a world in which humanity suffers beneath a heartless and unknowable alien regime, popularly known as the Combine. Oppressive and cruel, the remnants of humanity have been herded into the last remaining cities on earth. Stripped of their former names, and of all historic significance, these places are soulless and dreary places of hard labour and austerity.

Citizens

Dressed in plain uniforms of cheap denim, the remnants of humanity lead an existence rife with danger. Life is cheap and individuality repressed, ever under the watchful gaze of the Combine, citizens have to face a daily routine of hard labour and empty stomachs. Yet despite the untold hardship, mankind endures, and although this is a world in which simple human affection can be seen as an act of defiance, relationships still bloom in secret. Civil Protection The path that leads to ordinary men and women joining Civil Protection is often long and intimately complex, none the less when they don that sinister mask, they become merely another unit in the Combine’s hated arsenal of repression. With near total impunity, units of Civil Protection can often be found praying on the helpless citizenry of City 12. Like playground bullies with guns, any sense of morality or justice soon fades from any would be recruit. With improved rations and power over their peers, the life of a Civil Protection unit is measurably preferable to that of your average citizen, you only have to sacrifice your humanity first.

Civil Workers Union

Members of the Civil Workers Union are the cogs that keep the machine turning. Managers, administrators and landlords, these individuals help to keep the various factories, offices and housing blocks of City 12 running. Although considered of higher status than the average citizen, members of the CWU are no less at the mercy of Civil Protection. Yet to combat this risk, and often to hide their self-serving corruption, CWU members are often amongst the most enthusiastic of informers, happy to sell out their fellow man to save their own skin.

Criminal elements

As ordered and repressive as City 12 society may be, the streets are no less rife with crime. From petty theft to serious organised crime, many nefarious individuals peddle their dark trade throughout the lesser patrolled areas of City 12. From gangs to serial killers, one would well advised to obey the curfew and avoid the seedier parts of town.

Resistance

Not all residents of City 12 are content to lay down and accept Combine rule. Many a brave soul has attempted to take a stand against the oppressive regime, yet few survive for long. To become an Anti-citizen is to accept that your death is inevitable, for as stalwart and just as your cause may be, the infinite tendrils of the Universal Union will slowly but surely wrap around your throat, one day Civil Protection will find you. Yet despite the seemingly helpless situation, hope still exists for the brave few that take up the mantle of resistance. Expect no help, expect no glory, expect no mercy.

Aliens

A decade before the Combine invasion, following the Black Mesa incident in the early 2000s, mankind was faced with the stark truth that mankind is not alone. From the simple yet terrifying headcrab, to the sentient Vortigaunts, City 12 is home to many creatures that are not of this world.
