U-304 (Benjamin Clover) 3D Model

Describe what you made? I have made a Civil Protection unit with a different design from other Civil Protection, due to the fact that they're suppose to be the main character you play as for the next Half Life game. I also made a baton as an asset to go with the character, making it look similar to a modern police baton to show some narrative of the lore behind the Civil Protection unit, who used to be a police officer before the Seven-Hour War. This Civil Protection officer is named as U-304 (with Benjamin Clover being his real name).

Where did the Ideas come from? The idea for a civil protection unit being a main character came from a Half-Life 2 mod named Entropy: Zero, where you played as another Civil Protection unit trying to escape an abandoned city infested with rebels and zombies. However, I also researched the Civil Protection officers and other characters from Half-Life to help me with creating the lore and design for the character, as well as the feedback from the form involving my characters helping me improve upon the lore and design of the Civil Protection unit more. Another influence with creating the character was when I played a sandbox game named Garry's Mod in a Half-Life 2 roleplay server, where Benjamin Clover was always the name for the Civil Protection unit I always played as.

One reason I had for an idea of a Civil Protection unit being a main character you play as for a Half-Life game is because we never got to see much from the perspective of a character on the Combine's side. The only character we see that would be close to this is Barney, but even then he is just a spy working with the resistance who is disguised as a Civil Protection officer. I feel that it would be an interesting idea to play a Half-Life game from the perspective of a Civil Protection unit and get different views on the Combine so that the player can decide if they really are evil or that the Resistance might not be any better than them.
