The Island - A Halo RP interest thread. (Full)

[Knife-28]

If anyone's interested, I have an idea for how we all end up on Theris;

We (ie; the players) are part of a join UNSC/Separatist task force to descover the secrets of the planet. When the Light Frigate carrying us, the UNSC Darwin, arrives in orbit, it is attacked by Renegades, causing the ship to crash on the planet's surface.

Spoiler: Blumiere Zeven

Name: Blumiere Zeven
Race: Human
Gender: Male
UNSC Unit: ODST
Rank: Lieutenant
Age: 21
Appearance:

Spoiler

Biography: Born on Earth. Grew up training all his life. He joined the ODST as soon as he turned 18. He has been skilled enough he made it to rank of Lieutenant. He ended up on Theris with the rest of his squad that was quickly killed by brutes and Elites. He was the only survivor and just wants to make it off alive.
Personality: He hates the Covenant with all his heart. He will shoot any on sight. He is ambitious and always respects a rank higher and looks down on lower ranks.
Specializations: Commando.

Weapon: DMR and secondary is a Silenced SMG.

Your sheet really needs to revised.
As said before I'm the only Lieutenant, players can be anywhere below that.
Your also missing specializations.
As well as that you say in your bio that his squad was killed by Elites.
Its been said many times that the Elites are allied to the humans and the planet was only even known to the UNSC after the Elites rebelled.
Judging from all the errors and things missing from your sheet as well as the fact that this is only your second post it seems like you don't have much interest in this.
I'll give you another chance, I suggest you look back at the OP and the other guys posts and change your sheet dramatically.
Simply put, if you can't make a proper sheet and regard the posts of others and the information whithin, your in no way able to handle this.

Spoiler: Character Sheet for Sssu 'Retomee/Terror

Name:Covenant Name-Sssu 'Retomee (Elite Name Maker!) Nickname-Terror
Race: Sangheli
Gender: Male
Rank:Special Operations Sangheli
Age:Unknown
Appearance:

Like this, except it is a mix between Jet Black and Blood Red. Since it's Sangheli Armour, I can't really describe it anymore.

Personality: Respects humans but to an extent, he wishes to kill any human that isn't like the others. Some are in his 'good book' which he would die for but the majority are mutual allies. One must prove him/herself 'worthy' to gain his respect.

He likes quick and decisive battles, taking out the enemy as soon as they're in his sights. Knowing that frontal conflict is suicide, he picks his enemies off one by one. Although it is rare for him to fight in close-quarters, he like all other Elites are skilled in such situations.

He is calm and cool-minded, very relaxed in the most heated moments which is why he was regarded as one of the best Special Ops. But now forgotten by most, classified as MIA. (Does that fit with the criteria of this team?)
Biography:
Having grown up in the typical Sangheili Culture, he was noted as a more calm and relaxed yet more powerful than the others. He was quickly thrust into combat when ready and showed talent. Going from Minor to Major, he quickly became a Specialist Operative.

He fought on many planets unknown to most and did key things to turn the tide of a battle. On one fateful mission, he was sent to Theran to deal with something not even his commanding officer knew about. His Squad was wiped out and as his officer's last wish, he was forced to kill him and take his commander's energy sword.

Since this, he has a burning hatred for the natives which at times, his calm self can not control.

Specializations:
Warrior
Demolitionist (word?)
Commando
Stealth Expert
Scout
Collaborator
Sympathizer
Xenophobe

Nice sheet, everythings great though you forgot your weapons.

Spoiler

Anyways, just wanted to ask what you guys reckon would be a good number?

I'm not sure. I suggest trying to max it out at ten, if that many. A large number of people, and things might get a bit too hectic with all of the posts.

Also, for my own character, should I treat Liam as if he's been stationed on Theris for a while or as if he's a new member sent there?

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm treating the RP as full at the moment.

As for your character either is fine, though if hes been there for a while try not to go otherboard, Nouw's sheet is good example of info of a character on Theris.
However if you want more info than that in your bio go for it, the only restraint is that your character knows very little about the natives.

If anyone's interested, I have an idea for how we all end up on Theris;

We (ie; the players) are part of a join UNSC/Separatist task force to descover the secrets of the planet. When the Light Frigate carrying us, the UNSC Darwin, arrives in orbit, it is attacked by Renegades, causing the ship to crash on the planet's surface.

That sounds good though I already have a basis for how the RP starts.

Your all transfers to a UNSC firebase that sends Spec Ops teams further into the planet.
You all get assigned to a squad under my characters command and sent out. Also I'm thinking of my character interviewing each squad member before we head out. Should be a good way to keep everyone interested and flesh out their characters more.
Although I'm not 100% on what our team should do first.
Probably something like destroy a Covenant or Renegade base or investigate the disappearance of a missing UNSC/Separatist squad.

I have a question: how does the health system work? Will we find first aid kits lying around randomly, will we have regenerating health, do we need a medic to get health back?

Looking forward to this.

I realise this RP is 'closed' now, but after your PM asking me for a character sheet it was a little bit unclear as to whether I had a place still reserved. I couldn't see a reserved/playing list.

S here is my sheet anyway. Some more Sangheili blood would be nice, as I believe I have only seen one on my brief read over the thread thus far. Let me know what you think. If you are full then maybe I could come in at a later date, or possibly be a surviving member of a previous excursion. PM me if you want to talk about a later entrance.

Spoiler: "Shane"

Covenant Name: Shahea Verahn

Adopted Human Name: Shane

Race: Sangheili

Gender: Male

Rank: Previously Lesser Honour Guard, reassigned to UNSC-Covenant Separatist Special Forces Liaisons after the Covenant Civil War.

Age: 32

Appearance: Suited in full lesser-Zealot armour, of a dark purple colour.

Personality: Shahea has lived among humans in his role as a UNSC-Separatists Liaisons Officer for two years prior to his current assignment to Theris. His love of human food and custom has led to him adopting a rather unusual Human monicker; 'Shane'. This rather standard sounding human name is often met with a bemused smiles by UNSC Marines. Unfortunately Shane has met ridicule among his peers for doing away with Sangheili traditional attitudes of superiority in regards to other sentient races, especially that of the Humans.

Despite his understanding and tolerant outlook towards humanity, he harbours a deep rooted hatred of the Jiralhanae, the Brute. Since taking a severe wound to the lower torso and right leg during The Great Schism?s opening battles and thus being hospital-ridden for a large portion of the battles he felt his duty to be a part of, his dislike for the Brute has become increasingly strong. The wounds still bother him to this day, when in very low temperatures.

Despite his rather liberal outlook on interspecies communication and relations, Shane is unusually traditional in his approach to everyday work and combat. Among other traditional outlooks, he holds the firm belief that a weapon should never be drawn unless intended to be used, as it ?demands blood? if it goes unused.

He has two prized possessions that never leave his side. Firstly, his decorated Plasma Sword hilt, handed to his family by the Sangheili upper-classes generations ago for incredible service to the Covenant cause. It serves as a reminder of, in his own words ?When things were simpler,? and that his ancestors were of Zealot and Councillor rank. Secondly, his single dried Legolo worm worn as a pendant on a chain around his neck. This worm was the one he caught falling from the leg joint of a Scarab his unit took down in his first battle upon returning to combat from his injuries. It serves as a reminder that he, when in unison with other like minded souls, can achieve the impossible.

Shane is a fast acting soldier, who turned down his opportunity to train as a Special Forces Elite and in the use of what humans call Active Camouflage for he saw it as a cowards approach to honourable combat. He enjoys combat, and sees it as a way in which to honour the fallen, and to honour his ancestors. The only thing he has ever come to fear, is defeat.

Specializations:
Warrior, Warfighter, All Guns Blazing, Vehicle Expert, Collaborator (with the UNSC), Renegade/Covenant Hunter (Wants to hunt the Jiralhanae), Mystified

Weapons:
Plasma Rifle, Plasma Sword, Plasma Grenades(?)

We're going to be working with Covies. Might be for the best if your character doesn't shoot them on site.

@IBlackKiteI: Should I edit my sheet now and submit it in this thread, a PM, or what?

I'd say submit it here, that way I could more easily tell you if somethings wrong and give you a chance to fix any issues.

Looking forward to this.

I hadn't really thought much of that to be honest.
I say we go with regenerating health, if someone gets incapacitated by one round things would get hairy.

Very nice sheet.

By 'full' I mean't that you all are already in it but anyone else who wants to join is unable to at this time.
A full list of players at the moment are:

Nice, just the idea of a Red/Black silenced Plasma Rifle sounds like winsauce.

How about it can only fire X silenced shots? (X should be lower than 10)

 

[Ultraman950]

Okay, so I tweaked my CS a bit. Hopefully it'll seem a little more complete now.

Spoiler: Juno

Name: Jane Callahan, callsign "JUNO-116", or simply "Juno"
Race: Human
Gender: Female
UNSC Unit: Spartan IV
Rank: Sargent
Age: 35
Appearance: Green camo Mjolnier armor she claims came from Reach. ODST Helmet, Scout chestpiece, BDU shoulders, silver visor, room for extra clips on her leg.
Bio:
Judging by accent alone, one normally pegs Juno as Australian, but her record says she's from Europe. Not that it matters.

She is, simply put, one of the best snipers in the Spartan-IV class. She can pick off a Grunt's head from 500 meters away, and leave its breathing aparatus intact. Her record is scant on details, but it says she's multi-lingual, and served with "several important UNSC officials".

She'd been stationed on Theris for a while, long enough to get a grasp on the situation, but not really long enough to learn anything specific, and certainly nothing about the Natives that isn't already known.

Personality:
She's naturally curious, which has helped her with her scouting. In most respects, she's pretty open-minded, and is usually willing to give everyone a second chance. Just whatever you do, do NOT waste that second chance, because you will NOT get a third one.

She gets visibly angry when dealing with traitors (traitors to her cause, at least), but rarely outright shoots them. She abhors torture in all its forms, but isn't above using the "good cop bad cop" method. Even when playing the "bad cop".

She's good at following orders, and at issuing them. Her voice is quiet, but autoritative. Wild mass guessing put her as a relative of Commander Miranda Keyes, but this is highly unlikely.

She named her rifle "Spot". Nobody knows why.

Sources say she's a big fan of an old musician named Billy Joel.

Specializations:
Trooper
Operator
Commando
Stealth Expert
Scout
Collaborator
Sympathiser
Mystified

Weaponry: Long-range Anti-Materiel sniper rifle "Spot" w/10x Heat scope and silencer, standard-issue Magnum w/silencer, two frag grenades.

 

[Knife-28]

Here's my (slightly) updated character sheet.

Spoiler: James Hale

Name: James Hale
Race: Human
Gender: Male
UNSC Unit: ODST
Rank: Lance Corporal
Age: 28
Appearance: James wears thestandard ODST BUD?s. Under the armour he has short, scruffy hair halfway between brown and blond, piercing blue eyes and a scar from when he cut his cheek open as a child.
Personality: James is very calm and controlled, preferring to defuse fudes between team mates through words. He also tends to be chatty and overall very friendly when he?s not exercising his extreme sense of sarcasm. Don?t be fool though, James is a competed fighter, whether it be putting a bullet through a Brutes skull at long range, or silently killing a Jackle with the Tanto that he has sheathed on his right leg.

Bio: James was born on Sigma Octanus IV into a middle class family. He joined the UNSC marine corps at the age 16. He then volunteered to the ODST?s after seeing their actions during the Battle of Paris IV. His first deployment with the ODST?s was the Battle of Ariel. He later participated in the Battle pf Sigma Octanus IV, where he received plasma burns to his left leg evacuating a group of civilians (including his family). He later saw action at the Battles of Reach and Earth, where he was stationed at the HIGHCOM Bravo-6 Facility in Sydney, Australia. James is the newest transfer to Theris, having jumped in system on the UNSC Darwin 2 hours before. (James will be being shuttled the surface when the RP starts).

Specializations:
Trooper-Proficient with UNSC weaponry
Operator-Player keeps sidearm and has two attachments on primary weapon
Commando-Prefers quick, decisive battles
Stealth Expert-Prefers a stealthy approach
Tech Expert-Adept with technology
Collaborator-You are willing to fight alongside the Separatists Sympathiser-You don't consider the Renegades a major threat Mystified-Your intrigued by the natives and want to know more about them

Weaponry: James carries a silenced BR55HB SR Battle Rifle with a heat sensitive scope, as well as a M6C sidearm. He also has his Tanto that has a plasma lined edge not unseemlier to Elite energy swords.

Trivia: James is a fan of Flip music, unlike many of the soliders he's served with.

Am I the only person without a silenced long range weapon and who doesn't intend on sneaking around like a ninja?

Am I the only person without a silenced long range weapon and who doesn't intend on sneaking around like a ninja?

My character runs around with a turret and pretty much all of the most cumbersome armor pieces I could think of. He's also got bright orange armor.

He's like the antininja.
