How long have you been playing serious Gmod RP?
Ever sense I've had it. (about 2 or 3 years.)

Questions
Why do you want a Vortigaunt character? (1 paragraph minimum)
 I have always loved the vortigaunts (In reference to skyrim, they seem pretty similar to the khajiit). I would say they are my favorite race of HL2. Ever sense I first saw a vort in HL2RP, I have wanted to become one. I've also thought of what it would be like to be a vortigaunt. So many new possibilities, compared to the life of a citizen. To always want freedom, but never being able to do anything at all about it. To go from one bad government to the next.

What do you envision yourself doing on your Vortigaunt character? (1 paragraph minimum)
 I would obey the combine's very command, but would be secretly contacting the rebellion (If there is one present). I would barely be able to contact them through the combine's strict grasp. Eventually, I attempt to escape from the city and into the wilds with a few rebels. This would fail, and would be punished greatly.

Using your Vortigaunt character, how will you enhance the roleplay of those immediately around you? (1 paragraph minimum)
 To them, I am either a monstrosity, Or a friendly face. Either way, I try my best to get on their good side, while also staying away from danger. Due to the fact that if I talk to anyone, I get punished... It would be an interesting relationship to have. The both of us would have to converse quickly, and quietly.
Using your Vortigaunt character, how will you enhance the roleplay of the server as a whole? (1 paragraph minimum)
 HL2RP, is obviously not a fast paced kind of thing. I would enhance those long, dragging moments by sharing stories of escaping Xen and how careful I have to be aroudn the combine, and other stories. This could do a number of things: Inspire someone to do something, (Unless it was a bad idea, of course.) keep someone from making a bad choice, or lighten the mood. (sometimes darken it.)

Have you played a Vortigaunt character before? If so, state the community, length of time you had the character, and a description of role play situation that your character was involved in.
Sadly, no. *sad panda*

Will your Vortigaunt character take priority over your other hl2rp characters?
 More than likely yes, I would be having such a good time being in a different genre of character, that I wouldn't go to my citizen character's much.

Tasks
1.  Summarize the history of the Vortigaunt species (2 paragraphs minimum).
 The Vortigaunts were a peaceful group, they tended not to get into other's affairs. When they were attacked in Xen by the combine, the remaining survivors fled and went into hiding. Years after, the Black Mesa incident just now began to occur. The Nihilanth (their master) sent them to escape through the opening portals to Earth. They all began to pour into Black Mesa, killing the unknown people.
 Soon after the invasion, Gordon Freeman killed the Nihilanth, forcing the Vortigaunts to go back into hiding. The combine later invaded Earth, Causing the vorts to accept their master's defeat, and join the rebellion to overthrow the combine.

2.  Detail the advantages and limitations of Vortigaunt physical structure (2 paragraphs minimum).
   They can call on their gifted vortessence for a number of things: Teleportation of short distances, to zap their enemies into oblivion, stop  time for a few seconds, and can heal a great amount of damage dealt to said person.
  Most of their disadvantages come from their odd structure. The hunched back and "backwards legs" make it hard for them to run quickly, having to rely more on their wits. Most vorts rely greatly on the vortessence, if one is weakened in the vortessence, they suffer greatly.

3.  State what is known about Vortigaunt culture (1 paragraph minimum).
 They are a peaceful kind, trying their best to stay out of the matters of others. The vorts all have a strong connection to each other, even if they are complete strangers to one another. Most of them live in isolation, attempting to stay hidden. The most of them are extremely intelligent and excel in the arts of poetry and literature.

4.  In your own words, define the Vortessence and describe the nature of its relationship with Vortigaunts. (2 paragraphs minimum).
  The Vortessence is a sort of glue between the vortigaunts. It holds them together and is their most valuable asset. They ise the vortessence in every-day matters. It sends them into a deeper state of mind, allowing them to concentrate more and aid them when in need. Upon entering the vortessence, the vortigaunt will turn a Neon purple, and it's powers will increase (such as them healing or thinking of a way to escape a deadly situation). If not for the vortessence, most vortigaunts would become split apart, and sent into a state of extreme confusion.

5.  Detail from a third-person standpoint how your Vortigaunt character would resolve the following scenario: Three angry rebels with weapons have cornered you inside the S6 XCCR and demand that you help them kill a loyalist citizen (2 paragraphs minimum).
 The vortigaunt, looking around at the rebels, grows weary, and thinks of a way to solve the issue. "Well, what is it going to be?" The rebel in the middle shouts out. Calmy, the vortigaunt begins to speak, " This one would recommend not to shoot, as it would cause disruption. Many combine would flee the area."
 "Your mind tricks won't work with us, vort." The woman at the end tells the vort. The vortigaunt looks at the woman, and begins once more to talk them out of it, " Even if I were to agree to assist you in the harming of the loyalist, I could not do much. For I am bound within these chainsss. In this state of form, I am restricted as to what I am able to do." The vort points to the embarrassing cuffs aroudn his wrists. The woman turns to the men, "He may have a point there guys, lets ju-" Interrupting, the man in front begins to speak, "Are you crazy? He will report us to the combine. We have to kill him." The woman angrily shouts back to the man, " He wants freedom just as much as we do, theres no reason to kill him." The man becomes frustrated and aims his SMG at the woman. "I'd recommend that you be quite, or I'll shoot the both of ya!" Frightened, the woman drops her gun, and it misfires, hitting the middle man in the leg. "Well great, every CP unit withing miles could've heard that!" The man shouts at her. The vortigaunt sees this as a chance to sneak away, and so he quickly attempts to flee the arguing rebels. Once in a safe place, he observers Overwatch soldiers kill the rebels.

6.  Detail from a third-person standpoint how your Vortigaunt character would resolve the following scenario: You have just observed a refugee trick a fellow refugee in a vastly unfair trading deal. The conman is about to escape with the unjustly-obtained goods.
 The vortigaunt briefly looks up, stopping his sweeping, and sees the man walking off with the flashlight and 9mm. ammunition. Quickly taking a look around, he walks up to the conman. "It would be wise of this one to pay the merchant equally for the goods." The vortigaunt says, looking at the items. "What do you care, it doesn't concern you." The man replies back, attempting to shove the vort aside. Pushing the man's arm back at him, he quickly replies, "As a matter of fact, it doess." The vortigaunt hisses, glaring at the man. "I don't have time for you!" He spits to the vortigaunt. Tripping the man as he tries to walk by, the vortigaunt notices the merchant approaching. "Is uhh, something wrong here?" He inquires to me, confused. "Sure as hell is-" The man stutters, before the vort places his foot on him. "I believe this one cheated you out of a deal." The vort replies, reaching for the scammed items. " What do you mean?" The merchant asks, accepting the items the vort hands to him. "It was an unfair trade. I advise to this one that he leaves now before the man can play his trickery once more." The vort says, letting the man up. "Thanks!" The merchant says, jogging away from the man.
 
7.  Create an original piece of writing which involves at least one Vortigaunt and at least two citizens. The scenario must include at least 30 lines of dialogue, of which at least 15 must be spoken by a Vortigaunt.

Grabbing the broom, the vortigaunt slowly begins to sweep the floor of the 45th apartments.
Woman: "Wow... a vort is in the forty-fifths!" a woman exclaims from the lounge.
The vortigaunt sighs and continues to sweep.
Seeing the woman approach, he looks up at her.
Woman: "Hey, whats your name?" The woman asks with an eager face.
Vortigaunt: "This one is quite rash to greet me." He returns, begging to sweep again.
Woman: "Sorry, its just that... I've never met a vortigaunt, and have read a lot about them" She says with a gloomy face.
Vortigaunt: " I did not intend on hurting this one's feelings. But you are unfamiliar to the feeling of being different from everyone else." He replies with a long face.
Overhearing the conversation, a man walks down from the stairs and greets the woman.
Man: "Who's your friend here?" The man asks, pointing to me.
Vort: "I am Ki' Rumsh. Nothing more than a lonely vortigaunt who now only finds time for-" Rumsh is cut off mid-sentence by the Metrocop walking into the apartments.
MPF: "Isolate!" The two citizens slowly walk away, their faces peering back at the vort.
Rumsh: "This one apologizes for getting off task." Rumsh says, with a frightened face.
MPF: Pointing in the direction of the Nexus, tells the vort to move it.
Rumsh: Heads to the nexus, afraid of what his punishment will be.
Man and woman: The man and woman approcah the vort
Rumsh: "I would advise that these ones do not converse with me." The vort says, looking back at the disapproving MPF.
Man: "What an asshole." The man chuckles to the vort.
Rumsh: Continues to move forward, and avoids eye-contact. "Its is unwise to use such a manner of language."
Woman: "He's right you know... " She says to the man with a worried look.
Almost at the Nexus doors, a loud gunshot is heard, followed by the sound of a crash.
Man: "What... was that?" He wonders aloud, scanning the skies along with the woman.
Rumsh: Using his keen hearing, he walks to the theater, where a busted gunship lies, surrounded by cheering and confused citizens.
Overwatch soldiers storm all the surrounding buildings, searching for the responsible rebel. Terror strikes loose as overwatch fires into the crowd, causing the citizens to flee.
Man: "Run!" He screams, holding onto the woman, guiding her with him.
Rumsh: running as fast as he can, he makes into the CHANGE store with the man and woman (and a few other fleeing citizens.
A citizen walks into the middle of the crowd and fires a revolver into the air. Everyone jumps, then directs their attention to the citizen.
Rebel: Pulling a resistance beanie from his pocket, he puts it on and begins to talk, "We have suffered long enough from the grasp of the combine. Our wives, husbands, children, neighbors, everyone, has been abused and tortured through the years. Today that will all end. We will take back our homes and restore peace to our wondeful nation! Today will be marked down in history, as the day the uprising began!" Everyone looks to the rebel, some cheering, some looking in disgust, and the rest confused.
Rumsh: Begins to grin, but is stopped short of his happiness when he realizes the horrible truth. There is no end to this. Another false uprising begins, only to be struck down by striders, gunships, and the OTAs. He begins to speak without thought, "I have longed for a day where my freedom will become a living dream. Bahh-voo'chackt, this will only result in the death of many." The crowd stares at the vort, disheartened and crushed.
Everyone watches as the vort walks out into the mayhem on the streets.
Rumsh: "If you had wish to follow, this one plans to escape while the combine are in a confused state of mind." Rumsh says as he quickly runs into the distance. Many follow after him, including the rebel.
Despite their effort, many are killed, the rest captured and sent to a long sentence in Nova Prospect.


Extra notes:
Rumsh is fluent in both Vortanease and english.

DENIED - The number one reason you got denied was the fact that you obviously didn't read the Vortigaunt application information thread. http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?topic=9243.0 which clearly states that you MUST] have atleast 20 constructive forums posts before thinking of applying.

Secondly, after skimming over your application, which I actually read some of your Vortigaunt RP examples, I'd say your RP is about average but your speech pattern with a Vortigaunt is rather poor. Vortigaunts do not refer to themselves in first person, so the use of I, me, and other first person pronouns. Vortigaunts typically refer to themselves in third person such as: This one, or (insert vort name here), or we.

Please work on this and reapply after you've gained some posts.

Thank you for the constructive criticism, and yes. I realized I didn't meet the requirements before I even posted this. I was just wanting to know what I needed to mainly work on when I did.
