HL2RP Paralus.net | Half-Life 2 Roleplay

​

Hello C16, I'm 8bit. You may have seen me around the forums a bit recently, that is only because I used to lurk a lot. Anyways, I have decided to reincarnate my community that existed in 2014. I'm starting fresh with a new name, Paralus. And yes, people will be perplexed about the pronunciation; Pah-raa-luhs. There are not many people on the forums currently, just me and a few friends and that is why I am writing this post; To introduce you to the community and draw an outline on the details of the schema. I'm hoping to create a divergent HL2RP server, I can't say that without sounding cynical and stereotypical but its true. I want to form a friendly community dedicated to produce quality roleplay.

We are destined to produce a community that is friendly and interesting while not being exceedingly restrictive on what you can do; A great deal of it is going to be ran on common sense. To make everyone feel as if they can participate in this community I have stepped down from being the "Owner" of the server, I have put my companion Maxwell (@Rang) in charge to be the Server Director. I want people to be able to help out if they put time and effort in to what they do, and love what they do.

​

A community that can sustain and preform intricate and entertaining roleplay. We mainly focus on citizen roleplay with an eye for compelling and pleasant passive roleplay that doesn't make you lifeless but isn't senseless; Players should always have something to do on the server whether it be talking to other citizens, attending a work cycle, or eating at a CWU shop. We don't condone massive hidden bases that provide complete rebel protection from the combine. We believe that if you are to join the rebels you must have a good reason to do it and an subtle IC transition by connections and friends along the way. Our server will be entirely made up of a player made economy with realistic prices that make it somewhat difficult to obtain items. Hopefully players will have new delightful experiences.

Once our lore is completed I plan to release episodic lore on a timely basis; Along with that comes major revisions to both the story line and the schema itself so players are intrigued. Players will also be involved in the composing and conducting of the lore, so characters can affect the story. I plan to release custom scripts and content to keep the players captivated. We support character development and want characters to earn trust and make friends, that is what keeps roleplay alive.

​

I just wanted to include the Civil Protection ranking system for feedback. I didn't think encompassing the lore in this post was appropriate and when ready we will release it on the forums, however not after the launch. On the topic of ranks, we are going to have ranks 5 - 1 being ground units, Rank Leaders for each division, and a Commander to command the entire sectors Metropolice Force. However I'm not sure if people will appreciate this change and you should feel free to comment on this, you may see our current Metropolice Handbook here. We do back the theory that brainwashing occurs when units become more experienced and climb the rank tree. Our Civil Protection will be harsh and bitter although I would like them not to become overly edgy; Continuing on this I believe civilians should be able to talk to CPs rather than be averted, it just ruins the enthusiasm of roleplay.

​

In conclusion, I think most of you will enjoy this server, and mainly this community. I have high hopes for it and believe that if you do too we can make something great. I recommend you join our forums here, we want to build up a population, and later a player base. The server is not currently up, so I will be developing it and my friends will be writing things on the forums. I hope all the shitposters of C16 have a wonderful day :V, Hope to see you on the forums!
