Biotic

This faction is unlocked upon earning a total of 25 civic deeds on your citizen character.

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.

As such, here are some tips in both surviving as a Biotic and some general rules that should keep you out of trouble, if adhered to.

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

2. Do not cause chaos or stirr up trouble without explicit permission.

3. Remember that, while ultimately you do wish to become free, your priority is the safety of the Vortigaunt race and your kin first
and foremost. You should be trying to do your best to assist your liberated brothers in secrecy, and collaborating with their allies
among the Humans when the need arises.

4. Be cautious that not all Humans are very fond of Vortigaunts, and that you as a Biotic are on the lowest rung of the societal ladder.
Humans make up the forces of Civil Protection, and Humans are the native inhabitant of this planet. Typically, they'll believe eachother
over you nine times out of ten. Think about this when you are considering antagonizing a Human.

5. 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 disobediance 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. With that being said, here is an idea of your priority when it comes to orders and loyalty.

Though the Biotic role appears to be very accessible, it should be known that this role is a privilege that may be taken away at any time if your conduct is deemed unsuitable or lacking.

Additionally, the accessibility of this role may be changed in the future if we believe the lack of a strict whitelist is detrimental to RP, especially in this phase of the test.

Becoming a Free Vortigaunt

Free Vortigaunts are chosen from amongst the best and most dedicated Biotic players by the Elders. Typically, one Biotic will be chosen per week, with a maximum of one. Certain events within the game may change this.

The process for liberating a Biotic is done entirely ingame, and through roleplay. It will become known to the chosen Biotic that the time has come for the elders to assess him, and how to go about completing the ritual.
