٠࣪⭑ Gordon Freeman | Quiet Saviour ٠࣪⭑

Gordon Freeman is an anthropomorphic/anthro dog and a theoretical physicist. He is also the begrudging leader of the resistance, often being nicknamed “the one free man”. He has a two-tone fur pattern, with the left and right side of his face, as well as his outer fur pattern being a light brown colour. His inner fur pattern, neck, lower muzzle, and the inner part of his face are all a lighter brown colour. He also has green eyes, which he hides behind a pair of rectangular glasses. Gordon has a goatee as well, coming in the same dark brown colour as his short hair, which he keeps in a ponytail. Gordon is generally unkempt looking, having a bad posture as well. He always wears an HEV suit which is grey and orange in colour. Emblazoned on the front of the HEV suit’s neck is a lambda symbol, which the resistance uses as its main symbol. Finally, Gordon wields a crowbar which he uses to fight the Combine. Gordon used to work for the top secret company Black Mesa, in which he was an assistant researcher studying alien artifacts and biology from the alien world between dimensions known as Xen. When this facility was destroyed in an accident, aliens from Xen began invading the planet, including brown humanoid aliens with three red eyes known as Vortigaunts. These Vortigaunts were once enslaved by the Combine, escaping to Xen where they would once again be enslaved by another alien and forced to fight anthrokind when the first portals began to open. When Gordon would kill this alien, the Vortigaunts would be free and would later join the anthro resistance when the interstellar empire known as the Combine invaded and occupied the planet. The Combine would occupy the planet using augmented anthros, stealing its resources and adding anthrokind to its long list of augmented species in its army. Gordon and his friend Alyx would destroy the massive spire known as the Citadel, which closed the portals between dimensions that allowed for the Combine to control the planet. All of the Xen aliens except for the Vortigaunts are hostile to anthro people. Some of these aliens include Headcrabs, which can launch onto a person’s head and control them and turn them into a zombie, as well as Antlions, which are insectoid aliens that burrow underground and hate noise. The remaining Combine troops on the planet are also hostile to anthrokind, wearing dark blue tactical gear and having augments. These combine Solders are led by an elite combine soldier that wears white and has a single red eye. They wield assault rifles. Gordon Freeman is mute, and cannot speak. He is also incredibly shy and very sensitive, preferring to be by himself all of the time. The only reason he is the main leader of the resistance is because of his actions during the Black Mesa incident. His friend Alyx almost always speaks for him, and she is the only one who he feels truly comfortable around. Gordon is a classic nerd, liking all sorts of nerd things such as reading, coding, gaming, watching anime, reading manga, etc. He is also extremely intelligent, having once aced his university degree in physics and helping out with the other resistance scientists. This all comes at the cost of his physical health and strength, however. Gordon is perfectly healthy, however, he is incredibly weak and pathetic in combat. He always wears his HEV suit when he’s out fighting Xen creatures and Combine soldiers as it protects his body. He is very emotionally closed off, needing to really know you before he drops his guard. Gordon is also very much a puppy boy, clinging to whoever he trusts and loves and otherwise being very loyal. He’s not used to praise or affection at all, even finding attention drawn to him as unwarranted and unwanted. For most people, especially the general resistance’s interpretation of him as this almost messianic figure, Gordon hates the attention that this brings. However, when he begins to trust someone and know them personally, he begins subconsciously craving validation and praise. His tail also wags whenever he’s happy.
