Just call me Church
MAKE SURE TO READ ALL OF THIS. EVERY WORD. I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO, IT IS IMPORTANT. PLEASE AND THANKS.
This rp will not follow the RvB story line to the exact dot. Nor will it follow the Halo story to the exact, accurate dot. Because, as much as it irks me, we will have to fudge both of the stories a bit to make this work. So, yes, this rp will briefly mention all the cannon PFL characters at the beginning of the story, and all the Freelancer events leading up to around half to 3/4 of the way through season 10 are like a past story. But this is...an alternate ending to the story of Project Freelancer, and it is kind of a "the story will build as we go" type of rp. And this will also be based in the Halo universe, but not everything will be exactly accurate to the world itself. That is impossible, but we will work to make both as true and to the book as we can.
I am leading this rp alongside @Huntrey, and we have a rough thought to how the story will go (and we will nudge it in that direction), but the direction will ultimately be determined by what actually happens during the rp itself. Just please respect what we say about the story to help or fix it.
You can make up to three Agent characters that will all be in action at the same time. But ONLY IF YOU CAN HANDLE THAT MANY. Only make as many as you can rp with, mainly because Hunter and I will have to keep an eye on every one and possibly make posts for every one of them. Only making what you can handle will help us immensely. Hunter and I will be running what happens to the Agents, what the Covenant does around the Agents, and just the Agents in general. If any Covenant attack the Agents, either Hunter or I will post about that. If the UNSC will attack the Agents, Hunter will post about that. Watch our for those posts.
Technically, both Hunter and I are in charge of this rp. I was the one that thought of the rp story itself, but Hunter has helped me smooth out the rough edges. So I asked him to help me run it to keep it flowing smoothly. If you have a question about the rp, ask Hunter or I (if you have a question about Halo/RvB lore, definitely ask me. Just be prepared for long paragraphs of me nerding out, 'cause that's how I roll). And when you post a CS, wait for both Hunter and I to accept your CS because we will both be looking at different things.
Rules:
1) NO GODMODDING, BUNNYING, MARY OR GARYING, POWER PLAYING, or anything of the likes. Do not do it. You will get one warning if Hunter or I see you do any of these, (maybe two if it is minor enough), then you are out of here.
2) As you can probably tell, I truly don't care if you swear. Go ahead. If that makes you uncomfortable, though, just don't do it. Or you can censor it if you want to. I don't care what you do when it comes to cursing.
3) I don't care if there are semi romantic scenes, just don't get too spicy. If two characters get to the point where armor starts getting stripped off amid kissing (especially if the body suits follow), then please get that out of here. Keep the RP Nation rules in mind, so if it gets too serious then fade to black. Hunter and I will not be banned because of your post, so we will delete them if we have to. And we will not hesitate to do so if there is even the smallest inkling of any sexual content in any post.
4) Don't act like a big, powerful jackass that knows everything about anything, and like everything just kneels at the sight of you. Please keep your character to the normality level that the RvB Freelancers are at. They aren't exactly normal, I know. But they aren't invincible, and they are not some completely insane, OP dickheads. No one likes people who do that. You can be a dickhead in personality, just don't be a human with stupidly insane strengths in every category. Please.
5) Before every Agent (or at least a group of people) are together, I might make posts for each character to keep them on track if it is needed. Please look for and listen to those. If I don't get to you after a day or so, then just go ahead. It's my fault, then. And I will give you the okay to go ahead if I don't need to direct you for the moment. Once you have met up with at least one other character, you will mostly be fine to post whenever you feel like. But no matter how big your group is, I might still butt in here and there to give you something to do if it's needed. Especially when everyone eventually groups up. The level of intensity of those posts will be determined by me. And who knows? I may not even have to do it, especially since I didn't have to last time. Just keep in mind that you might see me butting in, and respect and listen to what I say if I do.
6) If you just want to say one small OOC thing to another person in the rp, go ahead. I will kind of have to so I can give each character a post, or just give some people some pointers. But once it gets over three posts each, or if you have to do it constantly, please go to the OOC thread.
7) Please keep your posts at least two to three paragraphs or larger. There isn't a max size. Quality does beat quantity, so we like to see character emotions, thoughts, and such with all the details you can muster, but please don't make your posts really short. Seriously. Get as detailed and deep and nitty gritty as you possibly can with that noodle of yours.
8) Please be realistic and on top of the Halo and RvB world when rping. You are not invincible, you can not still walk once you have broken both of your legs or your whole body, getting stabbed/shot in certain spots will definitely effect you, you will run out of ammo and have to find more ammo or a replacement weapon during the rp (replacement seems more likely for the UNSC weapons), knives will need sharpening if they are used enough, guns can jam like real firearms, getting hit full on by a Covenant Hunter/powerful weapon/anything else strong will hurt you and possibly kill you, etc. Just try to stay at least somewhat realistic in the rp, remember that ammo is not unlimited, and you are not invincible, just like every other human being. You are definitely strong, as Spartan IV's are as strong as or stronger than a Spartan II when in their armor, but not invincible. Please take that into consideration, because people who don't irk me. Furthermore, the Agents' portion will be about them thrown onto the ground in an unfamiliar place with enemies that either have never fought or haven't fought or even seen in years. DO NOT have your Agent character act like they know absolutely everything about fighting them, especially when it comes to battling the Covies, since the Agents are either rusty about fighting them or have never fought (let alone seen) them before. Seriously, listen to that. And if you don't, you may very well get a warning about it. But at least still use what you know about Halo to help you make your posts realistic, even if your character doesn't know a whole lot about the environment they will be thrown into. It would help if you have read at least one Halo book rather than just played the games or watched RvB, as the books give you a lot of info that the games do not. And RvB butchers the true Halo world and physics quite a lot (but you know we all still love that shit). But if you haven't read any of the books, that is still just fine. You should be good regardless. The book knowledge is just an added bonus that could make your posts better.
9) If your character dies in the rp, I have two things to say: Make the death have a meaning. Don't just be like, "Oh, yeah, they died. There ya go." Make the event noticeable to the other characters. Please do not make it boring. And, second, you can make another character once your first one dies. But, once your first character is dead, they are dead and gone. The next character should not be a carbon copy.
10) Please tell me if you have to leave for a few days, or just need to leave for good. Then I won't be as confused about you not posting. It also helps in the long run if we know. And I will understand if you do have to take a break or leave altogether, because life catches up with you sometimes and drags you down. I will not have anything against you if that happens.
11) Please at least try to use proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. If your post become hard to understand then we will give you a warning and even help with it, but we won't baby you. You're on a website intended for those who enjoy writing and such, so please don't make us ask you to leave because your writing sucks. I know that sounds really harsh, but it's the way things are.
12) You can also look in the interest thread if you haven't seen it yet and want to look at stuff we discussed in there. We talked about a lot: https://www.rpnation.com/threads/freelancer-files-red-vs-blue.88980/ And here is the old thread that you can get some ideas from if ya need to: https://www.rpnation.com/threads/freelancer-files-red-vs-blue.91855/
13) DO NOT CREATE RANDOM COVENANT AND UNSC ENEMIES TO FIGHT. Hunter and I will decide when to supply the enemies, and only us. We will also kind of run them after that, so don't just say, "They shot the Grunt once in the head with a pistol and *poof* it's dead." No. You say it was shot AT or something, but we will decide if the enemy was killed or just wounded. The only characters that can control the enemies like that are my character and Hunter's characters, but that's because we run the enemies and it would make sense to direct them in that way.
14) EVERYONE STARTS ON THE ISLAND OF NEW MOMBASA AND IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREA OF THE ISLAND. Not on Old Mombasa, or next to the space elevator, not on the half of the island with all of the sky scrapers where ODST actually takes place, not in the water or on the bridge, etc. You start in the residential area, the half that looks almost flat (shown below). Landing anywhere on that half is fine, even on the beach, but it just has to be in that half. It doesn't matter when you start, you will still land on that half of the island of New Mombasa. After the start of the rp, though, any new characters will just start with their characters leaving their pod after they land.
15) Last but not least: Have fun! Be creative in a good way that benefits the story! Use common sense! Good luck in the rp! I like everyone who has signed up and reserved names so far, so I am really looking forward to this. It should be a great rp.
