Havelock Vetinari Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Ship has been approved. As noted above. Name: Henrietta "Hannibal" Williams Species/Type: Human, Rogue ONI Agent (using ODST as a guideline here) Gender: Female Rank: Captain (not an offical military rank, the crew calls her that) Appearance: Henrietta could have been considered an attractive women, now a scar streches across her face and one of her eyes. Her eyes, minus the one she has been blinded in, are a light blue. Her hair is brown and typically pulled into a tight bun or a ponytail. She is somewhat pale when compared to most humans. She is fairly tall for a human, though a SPARTAN will still tower over her. Henrietta has had extensive combat training and this shows, her body is lithe and muscular and she moves into combat with a practiced ease. When outside of combat, she tends to wear a plain black uniform and an eyepatch. In combat, she wears a set of modified ODST armor. This armor sports a pure black design, so naturally, she uses it for night operations. During day operations she tends to use armor that blends into the surrounding landscape. Loadout: She normally has the weapons listed below;Primary Weapon: M7S Caseless Submachine GunSecondary Weapon: M319 Individual Grenade LauncherMelee: Combat KnifeGernades: Typically carries Plasma Gernades. Armor Ability: Active Camouflage Personality: Henrietta is a woman on a mission. Determination is a vital part of her personality, once she has commited to a course of action she will see it through to the bitter end. She is a pragmatic, logical and rational being, she never risks her resources needlessly and she doesn't throw them away in futile attempts to gain glory. She fights to win. Once she fought to save humanity....but now, she fights the UNSC with every resources avaliable to her. She will not rest until those responsible for the SPARTAN program have been brought to justice. On the surface, she has a light, cheerful personality, joking with her soldiers, verbally sparring with the ship's AI...but underneath that is steel. The best advice that one be given if one is standing between her and something she wants is....don't. Skills: Henrietta is a skilled commander, she is able to organize her units effectively and keep their supplies in order. Due to her ONI background she is also skilled at hacking, infiltration and assassination. However she is somewhat weak in hand to hand combat, she needs the element of surprise to triumph in such a battle. She isn't an incompetent warrior, but she isn't a Spartan. Her power comes from her ability to organize her men and plan attacks, not in going mano el mano with the first enemy she comes across. Backstory: Once a loyal ONI operative, Henrietta served with distinction during the Human-Covenant War. However, after she learned the turth about the SPARTAN program she went off the grid. As it turns out, one of the children abducted for the program was a member of her family and, understandably angered by this, she has sworn to bring the UNSC down for what it has done. She is currently leading a force of alien and human insurgents. They appear to operate from a repurposed Covenant Corvette. For the past year they have harrassing UNSC shipping and outposts. In general, she appears to be doing her utmost to make sure the UNSC is as uncomfortable as possible. Any ONI agent sent after her or sent to infiltrate her ship has always been sent back in a state of dismemberment. Weaknesses: As noted above, she is far from being a SPARTAN. If she enters melee combat alone, it is likely she will lose. She is skilled in ranged combat and leading her men, man to woman duels are not her forte and she will doing everything in her power to avoid them. If one could get her away from her followers, she would be much easier to defeat. Without them, she's just a soldier. A good one, but no match for a Spartan.

Delta Titan Sparta Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Name: Rex-G124Species/Type: Human, SPARTAN-IVGender: MaleRank: Gunnery SergeantAppearance: Rex is relatively pale, with black hair and piercing golden eyes. Armor is black and gold. Stands just under six feet tall.Armor- Helmet: Dragon (a new, experimental armor system designed to demoralize the enemy. Appearance is similar to a Kanohi Avokii with a CQB-esque gold visor)Chest: Venator (w/ Raptor skin)Shoulder: Customized Hayabusa (lacks the white parts)Forearms: FOTUSLegs: BulkLoadout: Primary- M395 Designated Marksman Rifle, with the Noble skinSecondary- M45D Tactical ShotgunGrenade- Type-1 Antipersonnel grenadeArmor Ability- HologramTactical Package- FirepowerSupport Upgrade- DexterityPersonality: Usually quiet, but is an excellent leader. He respects the Sangheili for their assistance in defeating the Covenant, but holds contempt for Jul 'Mdama's faction. Despite being absorbed into the SPARTAN-IV Program, he does not fully trust any members of the Program in combat, except for other former members of the SPARTAN-III Program.Skills: Hand-to-hand and close-quarters combat, assault tactics, leadershipBackstory: Originally a SPARTAN-III Headhunter, Rex hails from Tantalus, which was glassed by the Covenant. Similar to Carter-A259, he was older than the other recruits by several years, but qualified nonetheless. He participated in multiple battles, and qualified to become a Headhunter. Surprisingly, he and his partner survived multiple suicide missions, until she was killed during a firefight on the Ark. Enraged, Rex took on several Covenant lances, killing their low-ranking Jiralhanae leaders, Grunts, and Jackals, before help showed up in the form of ODSTs. He, along with other surviving SPARTAN-IIIs, were selected to join the SPARTAN-IV Program, where he was posted on the Infinity. He participated in the First and Second Battles of Requiem. He leads Talon Squad.Weaknesses: Not trusting others, snipers (absolutely hates them), authority, in some cases, rushing headlong into battles If anyone wants, their Spartans can be members of Talon Squad.

Mostly stays by herself.Skills: Good close at range combat.Backstory: Meredith grew up on Earth and became an ODST during the war against the Covenant. She accepted the offer to become a SPARTAN-IV so she would be better prepared to fight anything that comes her way. She is incredibly awed by Forerunner technology, but feels that worshiping them is wrong.Weaknesses: Is very bad at aiming weapons, and fights up close. Name: Benjamin GrimpenSpecies/Type: Human/ODSTGender: MaleRank: Sergeant.Appearance: A slender, tall man with brown hair and dark blue eyes. His suit is grey and black.Loadout: Primary Weapon: MA5D Machine GunSecondary Weapon: System 99 Sniper RifleGrenade Type: Smoke GrenadeArmor Ability: Active CamoflougeTactical Package: FirepowerSupport Upgrade: Ammo Personality: Cold, distant. He focuses on finishing the mission before anything else.Skills: Good shot, stealth.Backstory: Ben joined the military to fight for humanity, and became an ODST. He is the leader of a covert ops strike team of fellow ODSTs. He refused the process to become a SPARTAN-IV, because he though that becoming one would make him less human, as they have all of their special physical enhancements. The names of his fellow ODSTs are Johnson, King, Rex, Wood, and Stone.Weaknesses: In open combat, he is ineffective. He is more suited for covert ops. Name: HirSpecies/Type: Jackal (Storm Convenant)Gender: MaleRank: RangerAppearance: Typical for a Jackal. One of his hands is robotic.Loadout: Primary Weapon: Fuel Rod GunSecondary Weapon: Plasma PistolGrenade Type: Plasma Grenade Personality: Sadistic, evil, criminally insane. Extreme malevolence.Skills: Very good aiming, torturing.Backstory: Hir used to be a high ranking member of a Jackal gang, but in an accident he doesn't like to remember, his hand was shot and had to be replaced. He joined the Storm Covenant to get his revenge on the humans, and typically works in interrogation.Weakness: He doesn't have shields or armor so he can carry his Fuel Rod. Name: Chel 'ZacanSpecies/Type: Elite (Arbiter Follower)Gender: MaleRank: MajorAppearance: Typical for an Elite.

He used to be a brave fighter for the Covenant, but broke off when the Arbiter did so. He views the Storm Covenant as crazy heretics. He simply wants to live a normal life, but is still in military service. Weaknesses: Is not the best at aiming, and would rather fight up close. Name: Matthew FormiganSpecies/Type: Human/CivilianGender: MaleJob: Politician (High ranked Military branch, high enough he has one Marine for a body guard.)Appearance: A medium height, grey haired, man. He has a slight scar over his left eye from former combat experience. Both eyes are light grey. Loadout: MagnamPersonality: Good natured, sense of humor.Skills: A great politician. He always reaches across the aisle.Backstory: Matthew Formigan used to be a Marine. He fought bravely, but eventually had to retire. He couldn't bear to leave fighting for humanity, so he got a job in the military branch of the government, and quickly rose the ranks of the system. He is about 68 years old.Weaknesses: He is a politician, so he has no combat skills whatsoever. He does have some basic skills, but he has forgotten most of his military training, and is no longer in the shape where he could use it. Let me know if anything is wrong. Where can I jump in? (Also, why am I the first person to have non-SPARTAN characters?) Edited March 28, 2013 by Canis Lupus Quote I used to have a banner here. But that RPG is dead. What now?

You want something faithful to gameplay, go boot up the game itself. The Halo Universe is so much more then the games. RPGs don't have to bow down to the limitations of the games. Jackals are pirates. Pirates. They won't bloody care what weapons they use. Sure, they might have training with the weapons you mentioned, so they might use them more, but there is no reason-at all-to limit them to that.

Delta Titan Sparta Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Well, I'll admit defeat, but I still think the only Kig-yar subspecies that could handle a FRG would be the Skirmishers, since it's hypothesized that their colony planet has higher-Gs than Earth or Reach.

Krayzikk Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I'm gonna chime in on Basilisk's side here. There literally is no logical reason they couldn't, since as he has stated, building spaceships requires heavy lifting. And even if you devise an alternate way to lift, heaving lifting was still involved in the first place. Plus, the game's mechanics work that way to keep things balanced, and to maintain different effectiveness levels of enemies. We don't have that issue here.

Axilus Prime Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Ok, what exactly is Drop Recon supposed to do on an actual battlefield? It only works in the War Games simulations. The Jackal can have a Fuel Rod Gun if he has light armor (Like a Jackal Minor instead of a Heavy) and no shield. You can spawn anywhere. So, edit in something about lack of shield and lighter armor, change Drop Recon to something else, and they're all approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZTG Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Name: YipjapSpecies/Type: Unggony/Grunt, Minor (Arbiter's Side)Gender: MaleRank: MinorAppearance: A normal looking Unggony for a Minor.Loadout:Main Weapon: NeedlerSecondary: NoneGrenade Type: PlasmaTactical Package: NoneUpgrade Support: NonePersonality: Like most Unggonies, Yipjap is very cowardly and will flee immediately when things take a turn for the worse. He does, however, show boldness when facing enemies, but only if its typically just one. If not, he will run faster than a Jackal back to his group.Biography: Yipjap was born on the Unggoy home planet of Balaho, and was placed into the army with several other grunts. He served the Covenant for a long period of time until after the events of Halo 3, where he began to follow Arbiter. He wasn't always a soldier, and in fact, served as a mechanic for the Covenant, repairing Ghosts and other vehicles operated by the Covenant. During the events of Halo 4, he finally became a soldier in the army, but still works as a mechanic whenever he isn't fighting in the field of battle.Skills: Yipjap has experience in repairing Covenant vehicles, and serves as a part time Mechanic whenever he isn't going on a mission.Weaknesses: Like all Unggoys, Yipjap is weak alone, and is easy to kill, which is why he always stays in a large group, or behind an Elite, seeing how they are a lot stronger than the other races in the army.
