I love Half Life aus that basically just make them ocs.
Oh shit i didn't think anyone would actually want their lore but here we are!! Yippie!! ๐
So lets start out with the basics! To seperate these two (including adrian of this au!) They are renamed as such!
Barney Calhoun -> Bane
Gordon Freeman -> The Messiah
Adrian (Andi) Shephard -> Anti / The Good Shephard
The AU focuses on the "bad end" of half life" aka if Gordon Freeman had died after killing the Nilhilanth so The Gman couldn't rehire him! Y'know cause,,,, you can't hire the dead. Unless?
See I really really liked the idea that vortigaunts can bring back the dead essentially by bonding their souls to another living person! So, as a thank you to the dying/dead freeman they do the only thing they can, binding his soul to the nearest one! Adrian Shephard!
That's right! These bitches GAY!!!
But! Because of them doing it in such a fucked up way, and other reasons I will fix plot holes for after studying the vortessence stuff in half life: alyx, Freeman doesn't remember himself or Black Mesa! He has no memories and thusly, takes on the title "the messiah" as he denies heavily to be gordon freeman to those who ask him about it! Oh and to add! Because of fucked up nilhilanth stuff (the reason he died), his powers are on par with gman but are super duper volatile meaning high stress and anger could cause massive problems! Not great for a highly stressed out man in a combine infested world!
Messiah, having "died" in xen, had to be replaced in ciry 17, and that person is adrian shephard! In thus au he's trying desperately to prove that he is a good man because,, HECU? Anyone who has heard stories of them fears him, so as such, he pains his mask and suit in orange lambda symbols to prove he is on their side! He,,, has it real rough! But because of his connection to messiah, they seem to bump into one another often, and by that i mean messiah is essentially watching him like a hawk trying to understand this mysterious pull on his soul and why it causes him to,,, remember!
Now you're probably wondering: What's going on with bane? And that my friend is when we get into a more canon side of things! You see, his story is pretty similar to the og, except theres a few different things! Bane, unlike barney, doesn't expect his freeman to return. He knows in his heart he's gone and lets be honest, without the knowledge freeman is coming back, barney would have snapped. And bane did snap! Bane got lost in his job as a "spy" eventually betraying the resistance (don't worry eli, kleiner, and alyx are safe!), and due to this, he gets the related "enhancements" that come with a promotion! If not for all the sightings of messiah, bane would have probably have pushed himself to the point of no return!
Overall,,,, trauma, trauma, and more trauma! But it's okay because they are all gay and in love! <3
I'll be doing some other stuff and testing out things for other prompts but coomer and bubby will be soon! For now, take benrey and tommy!!

Before we get started with this, I have some rules I need to lay out that I expect to be followed strictly. This is just a major list that I am creating that I might add to here and there, so make sure to check it again every so often.
1) No NSFW asks. While all the characters depicted are over the age of 18, I am not. NSFW asks make me highly uncomfortable and your ask will be deleted. If you send in NSFW asks multiple times, you will be blocked.
2) Be kind. Both to the characters and other askers. Unless stated otherwise, or if an asker is breaking the rules, do not harass any of the characters or other askers in this blog. I donโt tolerate bullying.
3) The characters will make it clear when they donโt want to be bothered about a certain question. Itโs your job to notice when they make it clear and respect it. Once a character makes it clear that they no longer want to be asked about a specific subject, I will start deleting asks relating to that subject.
4) If you donโt like the way the story is progressing or how I pace it, do not harass me about it. I have a story planned out for this ask blog and while you can send in asks that arenโt plot driven, I donโt appreciate being told how to write my own story.
5) If you donโt like how the characters act in the story, donโt interact. If you donโt like how they respond to one of your questions, donโt get angry. Iโm trying to keep this as in character as possible so if you prefer the fanon versions of characters, just donโt interact.
6) Not everbody is going to be introduced right away. Donโt get mad about it.
7) If you want to draw my versions of any of the characters, simply ask. Ref sheets are on my main account, @passp0rtguardian, (I accidentally tagged the wrong account Iโm very sorry for the random person who got a notification about it) and all I request is that if you post it on tumblr you tag both this account and my main account.
8) The scheduled asks will most likely be from around 1 P.M. mountain time to 6 P.M. mountain time. Of course it wonโt be accurate some days but I will try my best to at least post in that time frame.
