The Code is an amalgamation of good deeds, traditional religious practices, tribal cultural norms and diplomatic attitudes set in place
by the defacto leaders of Vortigaunt society, the Elders, as a dogma of how all Vortigaunts should and
should not act in face of the gruesome reality of the Great Peril at the hands of the Shu'ulathoi.


This universally agreed upon dogma of the Elders bind us to a diplomatic approach to surviving in bondage as a means to an end.

Biotics, or Slave Vortigaunts, are the weaker and more numerous cousins of their Free Vortigaunt counterparts, available (for the time being) to a much greater pool of players than the typical Vortigaunt role.

Your activity as a Biotic will be monitored and may be taken away from you at any time if you fail to play the role correctly.

Biotic Duties

  • You are enslaved by the Combine and nothing you can do will counteract this fact.
  • Thought-out the day, Biotics are responsible for keeping the city clean to the best of their abilities.
  • This includes collecting trash, cleaning floors as well as other janitorial duties such as disposing of the deceased bodies.

Biotic Rules

1. You are bound by the will of the Combine, and are severed from the Vortessence. Obey all direct orders given to you by Civil Protection and Overwatch. You are worth more alive than dead.
2. Do not cause chaos or stir up trouble. This will only earn you a one-way trip to Nova Prospekt.
3. Remember that, while ultimately you do wish to become free, your priority is the safety of yourself.
4. It is imperative that you cooperate with the Combine to the best of your ability, your kind has existed long enough in bondage to understand that menial disobedience causes more harm than good in the long term.

While ultimately, your loyalty belongs to the rest of your kin under ideal circumstances, it is more beneficial to all of your kin to survive under the yoke of the Combine, rather than die fighting a battle you have no hope of winning. One day, you know, your time will come.
