Design Notes
  • They look like a typical Vortigaunt from Half Life 2
  • 5'0"
  • They will sometimes wear clothes if they need to hide themselves
  • Old wounds have faded due to healing
  • Their voice is what you'd expect from a Vortigaunt, but very slightly higher pitched
Personality

Yaotha is quiet, cautious, introspective, and prone to despair. At the same time, they are resilient, determined to keep fighting despite the odds. They also like to help people with their struggles whenever they can.

Trivia
  • They refer to themselves in first person plural and singular (i.e. 'We' and 'I')

  • Though they've mostly learned English, it's still hard for them to speak it
  • They don't like to fight, but they think it's necessary
  • They travel between Resistance groups to help out
Abilities
Electrical blast
A product of their connection to the Vortessence. Yaotha can draw electricity from their surroundings, using it to charge electronics or as a weapon.
Healing
This also stems from the Vortessence. Yaotha can heal minor wounds on their own. Moderate wounds they can only help somewhat, and severe wounds require more Vortigaunts to heal.
Flux shifting
Vortigaunts can communicate by flux shifting. Other species cannot understand this.
History

Yaotha remembers the time before the Resonance Cascade, but doesn’t dwell on it much. They’re preoccupied with more important things now. When they came to Earth, they were confused, disoriented, and faced with a cultural and language barrier. To top it all off, their connection with the Vortessence - that which binds all of their kind together - was weak, considering their young age.

Yaotha managed to learn English quickly, especially since they had little choice in the matter. Those who speak with them may notice that they tend to use the typical archaic vocabulary that most Vortigaunts use. They’ll switch back to Vortigese when speaking with anyone who knows it, though.

Yaotha helps the Resistance wherever they can, as their disdain for the Combine runs deep. However, they are curious and wary of most humans. Their connection to the Vortessence has strengthened, allowing them to heal minor wounds and channel beams of electricity, but is still relatively weak. Now, they’re just trying to get by in this strange world.
