#ploop time to give out some lore about Atticus

[dzvagabond]

Half Life insert lore Brain Wurms leggo

Atticus joins black Mesa at the age of 20-22 and obviously works alongside a certain Freeman™ to develop the HEV suit.

They get caught up in the resonance cascade and make it through Black Mesa before G-Man takes a look at them, thinks oh they could be useful later for Mr. Freeman totally knowing their feelings for him and put them into time sleep until 5 years pre-HL2.

The war is still going on and the first person they meet when they awaken is none other than good ol boy Barney.

"A-Atticus?? Is that really you? No... I must be hallucinating. Damn Combine trying to play tricks on me again..."

Obviously it takes some convincing before Barney breaks down along with Atticus and catches them up to speed.

At the end of the war, they are devastated to hear their father ex-colleague, Dr. Breen take over Earth as the overseer.

They train with Barney and meet up with Dr. Kleiner, and Eli and make the plan to "join the Combine" as both Military Police and Reconnaissance to gather information for the resistance.

Once Gordon comes to the future, they're roughly 30 years of age, and tired of fighting in this useless war. Resenting Dr. Breen immensely.

But once they hear about A Freeman™ coming to take down Breen, they gather up as much intel as they could before escaping the Combine to officially join the resistance out in the field as a sniper waiting to meet Gordon on his journey.

Alright that's all I got for now. Might post more later once it comes to me. ✌️
