History Characters / FreemansMind

* FinalBoss: It is the last enemy Gordon fights.

* CrazyPrepared: When finding a "vacation spot", Gordon wonders if "Greg" was the one who left several shotguns in it, having done this so he doesn't have to reload.

* CrazyPrepared: While moving across Ravenholm, Gordon wonders if "Greg" was the one who left several shotguns in a single place, having done this so he doesn't have to reload.

* CrazyPrepared: While moving across Ravenholm, Gordon wonders if "Greg" was the one who left several shotguns in a single place, saying that Eddie did something similar, having at least ten guns in different rooms of his house with easy access.

* CrazyPrepared: While moving across Ravenholm, Gordon wonders if "Greg" was the one who left several shotguns in a single place so he doesn't have to reload.

* CrazyPrepared: While navigating Ravenholm, Gordon wonders if "Greg" was the one who left several shotguns in a single place so he doesn't have to reload.

* CrazyPrepared: While navigating Ravenholm, Gordon wonders if "Greg" was the one who left several shotguns in a single place, saying that Eddie did something similar, having at least ten guns in different rooms of his house with easy access.

* {{Manchild}}: Based on her above behaviour and the fact that she treats everything more like a game of Cops & Robbers than the deadly serious situation that it is, Gordon concludes that she must have the mind of a child, and that growing up in a dystopian future must have seriously stunted her development. While technologically capable enough to build dog she clearly lacks a proper understanding of how serious the situation is.

** Freeman doesn't like the idea of having to shoot corpses to confirm they are dead, part of it is to save ammo but also he doesn't want to start confirming his kills.

* {{Crossover}}: One episode of ''WebAnimation/CivilProtection'' mentions he became a member of Civil Protection, [[DirtyCop and has taken advantage of this by using his authority to steal people’s stuff.]]

* TheDreaded: Out of all the enemies Freeman's run into, it causes him the most terror of anything, except possibly the Nihilanth. Between frequently being exposed to its gunfire and lacking any means of fighting back, Freeman is left cowering and hyperventilating in a matter of minutes.

* LadyMondegreen: Freeman mishears his name as "Gregory" and continues to call him this, even nicknaming him "Greg."

** Early on, Gordon is noticeably selfish, had a bit of an ego, prone to panic, and tended to rant to himself about odd things, but wasn't above trying to help people who are in trouble, kept a clear head even amidst his fits of fear and his rants were more of less on topic. Compare him to the end of his journey in Season 1/the beginning of Season 2, and he's doesn't mind ditching everyone to fend off the alien invasion themselves, regularly enters screaming and anger fits, his rantings are loony and [[CasualDangerDialogue usually unrelated to what's happening]], and he views anyone who isn't him or Dr.Kleiner below them. Justified in that the sheer stress and terror he went through in Black Mesa brought out his worst qualities as his mental state declined.

* YourAnswerToEverything: Portals.

* BadassBookworm: Gordon makes no bones about his education; he's a graduate of MIT, and among other things he tells a bunch of enemy soldiers that his diploma is more valuable than their life. At the same time, he mocks his fellow scientists for not being as fit as him.

** By his own admission (though without any air of self awareness), a lot of dates he goes on end with him getting tasered (''"It's not as bad as pepper spray though, I hate pepper spray."''). He also makes reference to repeatedly hitting on a girl named Heather and failing, and theorizes he probably ended up in a trash compactor since she threw him in there.

* EqualOpportunityEvil: He thinks that slavery was limited by the racism involved.

* TheFool: In his blind efforts to get out, Gordon manages to clear his own path simply by wandering around. Most obvious example is in episode 19 when, when he returns to the rocket testing station after activating the electricity and fuel needed to start the rocket and kill the worm monster.
-->'''Gordon:''' Hey, the lights are on! ''[pushes button]'' Hey, it's doing something! Did somebody fix this? ''[rocket begins to start up]'' What did I just do?\\

* MobySchtick: At one point, after one of the sharks tried to eat him, Gordon waits by the pool and shoots it dead. After he does this he shoots it's corpse while whistling ''Blow The Man Down''.

** Near the end of episode 59, he starts lobbing grenades at a Gargantuan that's attacking some Black Mesa personnel and actually seems upset when he's unable to save them. Bear in mind that doing so wouldn't benefit him at all. Ironically, this moment happens at what could easily be considered the height of Gordon's [[AxCrazy Ax Craziness]]

* TalkingToHimself: Gordon's monologue is not just thoughts, but occasionally him talking to himself as a coping mechanism.

[[folder: Dr. Breen]]

'Vortigaunts' in the original game. They are somewhat humanoid aliens who attack with electrical shocks. Freeman calls them 'Zappers' because he can't think of a better name for them. He hates them because of their tendency to painfully zap him.
