He speaks in a somewhat deep voice, and it is heavily implied on many occasions that he has a very eccentric family and has met very eccentric people. He works at Black Mesa labs as a scientist. He graduated from MIT, something he is always content to brag about, especially to soldiers and aliens in battle, where he repeatedly screams his catch phrase "I HAVE A DOCTORS DEGREE! " while gunning them down.
#Gmod black mesa research facility series
It is assumed that Freeman is from Seattle (as in Half-Life), and is confirmed in both the game and the series to be 27 years old. As he explained in Episode 28, he believes that owls can read his thoughts, that a race of frog people live underground, and that a mailman is stalking him. Lets face it not everyone is cut out to be me, I'm a physics-crunching badass, I'm the complete package").Īnother very noticeable feature about Freeman is that he is very paranoid. Most of this behavior relates to the fact that "he is a genius" and his increasing body count, stunts, and combat feats (Gordon: (smashes a headcrab) "Ah you see I was ready for that, you can't teach this. Despite this, he still maintains a "smartass" demeanor (despite his many near-death experiences), and is still very egotistical. Also, he does not get as mad at the insane architecture and all the dead bodies everywhere, as these are way too common by this point. He constantly questions why they even have those turrets. He also really hates the "security system" which always forces him to traverse a deadly obstacle such as tripmines or machine gun turrets. He hates Black Mesa for its constant locked doors, dead ends, and lack of safety standards. Originally, he was quite agitated about the insane architecture of Black Mesa and the HECU soldiers trying to kill him, but he seems to have gotten used to killing soldiers and aliens(and even seems to enjoy it). He is not completely amoral, however, as he does exhibit slight concern and tolerence for the people around him and occasionally tries to save other scientists lives (though mostly for his own benefit such as impromptu "meatshields"" but never has to much success due to the scientist's low survival instinct ). Some other things he hates are: Cockroaches, the Black Mesa management, the architects, and scientists who follow string theory.ĭespite Freeman's eccentric personality, he actually comes off as somewhat sane(though mildly sociopathic and apathetic as his thoughts and actions have demonstrated) but this has recently started to deteriorate since Episode 15 and by Episode 28, he is shown to be nearly insane. However, he still regards them as stupid "rat-fuck meatheads". Recently, Gordon has been noticing them being smarter, by doing things such as almost killing him with a grenade. He also believes everyone in the military to be extremely stupid and incompetent, which is exemplified by their repeated attempts to shoot him in the body with their low caliber MP5's (despite it being completely ineffective against his suit), are unable to " Tell me (Gordon) and the other scientists are not the aliens", attempt to pull off an extremely impractical cover up, as Gordon points out, and execute very ill-advised combat maneuvers such as running around corners where they know Gordon is waiting with his gun pointed straight at the corner. He is also noted to be a drug addict and a drunkard. He also is very egotistical and arrogant, believing everyone in the facility should be more like him. During the series, he often makes sarcastic remarks, and is best described as a "smartass". It stil makes it difficult to identify the two separately.įreeman is eccentric, juvenile and ill-tempered, although he is very knowledgeable about science and good at his job, as his inner monologues show. His younger brother, Felix Freeman, has a similar appearance of Gordon, only he has blue eyes insead of green. He has dark brown hair and green eyes as well. He wears glasses, most likely due to eye deterioration (or another reason that has not been specified yet), and possesses a beard, which Freeman complains about due to the fact that the military is able to pick him out from the rest of the scientists'. Freeman is a 27 year old man of average height and build.
