THE STORY

It has been one year since the Portal Storm was put to rest at the hands of the Lambda Resistance's scientific minds, namely; Dr. Gordon Freeman, Dr. Eli Vance, his daughter Alyx Vance, and Dr. Arne Magnusson.

After the Portal Storm had stopped, Gordon Freeman, accompanied by Eli and Alyx Vance, ventured off to find the elusive "Borealis", a ship built by Aperture Science before the 7 Hour War.

Shortly after this, all 3 members of the team went M.I.A, and contact was subsequently severed. With their fates unknown, the remnants of the Lambda Resistance were left in disarray, scrambling to get footholds in cities across the world.

Although the Combine still has a significant presence on Earth, the word of City Seventeen's successful uprising has inspired newly forming resistance groups to put up a fight against the alien force, successfully taking a few small population centres.

Few cities remain completely subjugated, while others are held in a state of paralysis betwixt the Combine and rebel forces' fighting.

ABOUT THE FRAMEWORK

Cynical Framework is a heavily edited version of the impulse framework, developed by vin.

Many systems have been added, removed or changed to suit our vision of a high standard of roleplay, and, alongside the powerful ArcCW weapon base, we provide you with the tools to make your own story.
