So, you know, I've been gone, doing stuff, collecting souls, giving them to people to forge into chaotic Swords, the likes. Well, I came back because I had nothing better to do other than go to bed, SO hi!
So I do what I do everytime I come back from a long excursion or whatever. I make a forum Game. I have currently (Re)taken a craze for Half-Life 2, One of my most favorites games, and I'm basically revolving a bunch of stuff around it (Even taking a bunch of pictures on Gmod and halfheartedly attempting to turn them into a Card Game)
So, Here I am, with another Forum Game. The Setting is about two Weeks before Freeman wakes up on his train, The Underground Railroad is going fine, citizens are escaping daily and the Metro-Politician forces have become more ruthless and their 'rounds' become more frequent, often concluding with large amounts of citizens being 'apprehended'. You are currently in one of the apartments that are about to be raided. However, a small band of Rebels have busted in through a secret passage, and they're helping people escape. They come to your room about two minutes before the Metro-Police start on your floor, you have a bit to grab three items of value (Remember, you are a citizen. Weapons, Medkits, Batteries, stuff like this is Contraband. The Three things you take can consist of crude weapons (Piece of wood, Pipe, Etc) or some minor rations, stuff like that. NOT an LMG, 30 Boxes of ammo for said weapon, and a rucksack). So, as the Rebels motion for you to hurry (As the other three sharing your room decided to up and leave everything), the timer is ticking.

Sheet and stuff

Name:
Age: 15-40 (Age affects you, being younger makes you quicker but rash and inexperienced, while being Older makers you slower but having more common sense)

Might add more stuff in the future, But you wont know unless you play :P

I immediately pick up a Frying pan to use as a weapon, As many rations as I can find on short notice, and a family Heirloom(you can choose).

OOC: It should be noted I have never played half-life and only know the basic story-line.

You grab a frying pan, a small bag of what is labeled 'Chicken' and a Gold (but now tarnished) medal your father gave you before he went to the war. After grabbing these, you hear the first door of your floor being knocked on, and the Rebels motion for you to follow them.

(Yeah, sorry, forgot to update)
You rush up the stairs with the Rebels, but unfortunately the Metro-Police spot you. Three of the four start dashing towards your party with stun Batons, while the leader shoots at you with a Pistol and calls for backup. The Rebels, however encourage you to keep running, and occasionally return fire to the Metro-Police officer.

You and the other three citizens run like crazy, and reach the roof. a few moments the later so do the resistance members, The one with the SMG calling for the Transport ship. Suddenly, a Hunter-Chopper starts to fly in your direction. The Transport does warp in, but is shot down by the Chopper, and the Rebels and citizens are scrambling for cover. How do you reply to these predicaments?

Inside the building a large quantity of Metro-Police with Batons, Pistols, and even a few SMGs are amassing by the opposite Staircase. A Citizen quickly motions for you to enter her door, then runs in it while the Metro-Police start to run at you. Of course, theres also a staircase next to you that you could descend, or maybe taking the roof was the better choice... What will you do?

You rush into her door, close it, realize it doesn't have a lock, then look around frantically. She ushers you over to the living room, and points to the couch and tells you to move it, and that she'll hold them off with a length of wood for a little while.
