This is one of those concepts that will literally only exist in Tumblr posts and my beautiful mind. This is Heddy they've been bouncing around in my indulgent head for months and I might as well set them free
Image ID Below!
IMAGE ID: The heading reads "Heddy Lamarr K. Rangoon", with the sub-header of "a semi-original Half Life character". The left half of the image shows a simple black and white drawing of the character, while the right side lists information about them. The character has the body of an adult human, hunching his shoulders slightly. They are dressed in undetailed boots, pants, and a shirt underneath a long lab coat. Only the lower portion of their face is visible, showing a nervous frown with a flat mustache and a small patch of hair on his chin. Most of his head is obscured by another creature-- a Headcrab from Half Life. The lumpy alien stands with rear feet on the human's shoulders, holding their front claws up like a praying mantis. They have two small, widely-spaced eyes on each side on their head, between which are a set of fingerlike feelers that cover where the human's nose should be.
The text on the right side reads:
It is a beautiful day in the post-victory community of White Forest and you are a terrible Lamarr
Horrible accident with some experimental teleport tech. Kleiner claims the tech was his and most believe him. It's safer to do so.
Both nervous systems are active and connected, able to think independently and in tandem
If you're referring to only the crab, it's Lamarr (she/it). The human, Dr. Rangoon (he/they). The collective individual/don't care, Heddy (they/he).
Lamarr has exclusive control over the vocal cords, does not do much with them. Heddy uses sign instead.
They didn't really go by Rangoon before the accident. He doesn't want to get into his past. It's fine. It doesn't matter. Please believe it doesn't matter.
End ID.
