Futuristic Halo RP Needs Civilians!

[Kyero]

The date is July 28, 2564. The Human-Covenant war is over, but it has not stopped all hostilities. Human rebels allied with remnant Covenant forces fight against UNSC control and supremacy. However, they now face the UNSC's latest and greatest weapon, the new SPARTAN VI super soldier.


So what is so special about the SPARTAN VI?


Think of it as the SPARTAN-II 2.0. Lighter, faster, stronger, faster reaction times, and in every way more lethal than their counterparts, the SPARTAN VI is the penultimate fighting machine designed by Dr. Feline Warner, a protégé of Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey. Using what she learned under Halsey's tutelage, she has created a new and improved version of the SPARTAN super soldier, and just in the nick of time it would seem.


With Dr. Warner's sudden and mysterious death not long after her incarceration, the UNSC is beginning to see evidence of a new uprising which could unravel the delicate balance it has since established as well as bring an end to the peace negotiations with the Covenant and start the war all over again. But without any way of knowing exactly when and where this new threat will emerge, the UNSC can only watch and wait.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Halo: SPARTAN Odyssey recruitment page!

​

The RP can be found at this link: https://www.rpnation.com/threads/halo-spartan-odyssey.77039/


The RP itself is still under light construction, though the meat and potatoes of the thing are ready for you!


The RP itself is, obviously enough, going to have a lot of action, combat, and exploration. I've brought in new locations which I created myself, reconstructed the chain of command in the UNSC's various military branches (navy, air force, marines, etc), and created story arcs that our characters will follow in their journey to prevent a second Human-Covenant war.


While heavily action oriented, the RP does not call for only military personnel. Anyone who wants to portray a character of a more modest and civilian background is welcome to do so, as the RP in the end is more about survival than badassery.


So if you're at all interested in this take on the Halo franchise, then please stop by to check it out. Again, the RP is incomplete and should be finished very soon. The link is here: https://www.rpnation.com/threads/halo-spartan-odyssey.77039/

As a teaser, this is my character:

​

You should take your time and have fun with designing a character, because I know I had fun designing Linde here. Please do not be put off by the volume of content. It's not as hard as it looks.

Without Armor

​

With Armor

​

Description: When not wearing her SPARTAN VI armor, which is slender and sleek to her body frame with minimal plates to disrupt her silhouette, Linde is the definition of beautiful in the eyes of most who would see her. Long flowing hair, a sleek and athletic frame, close to zero body fat, and the sweetest of smiles which can lull even the most respectable men into losing their composure in her presence.


Her body is athletic and sleek, with just enough muscle to show those that gaze upon her that she is not to be trifled with. Her skin is soft and smooth with a mild tan coloration which comes from spending time in the sun and out of her armor for long periods of time. Her legs are long and her hips and torso form a near perfect hourglass figure with a full chest waiting at the top. Her neck is slender and slopes gently down into her shoulders which is deceptive due to the strength she possesses as a SPARTAN. Her arms are not heavily muscled, but none the less the muscle definition of what is there when flexed is quite spectacular.


Her voice is soft and gentle, but when in her armor takes on a more gruff and serious tone befitting her position as a SPARTAN and a soldier. When she's out of armor, you'd never guess she was such a soldier due to how sweetly she behaves. As a SPARTAN, and in armor, Linde is a ferocious combatant with the tenacity to rival anyone on the battlefield be they human or otherwise. Her calm demeanor when in combat belies her fiery desire to ensure the safety of those around her, and as she's already lost a few members of her squadron, she has no desire to see anymore lost and thus is even more protective of those assigned to her team. While she is not directly in charge of it, she is none the less one of the more prominent figures among them.

AI Picture:

AI Personality: The name of the AI given to SPARTAN-040 Linde is Xia. However, Linde nicknamed her 'Killjoy' on the grounds that she interfered with Linde's attempts to flirt with and make uncomfortable a young ODST fresh off of his acceptance into the ranks. Linde's attempt to get the young man flustered were interrupted when Xia blurted out "She just wants to see you squirm big boy!" Linde can pretty much sum up Xia's personality, and indeed their relationship, in that single phrase. Xia is quirky, energetic, sarcastic, and just as much a flirt as Linde is depending on the situation. Unlike Linde, her sarcasm and comedic personality don't disappear during battle. Even when in dire circumstances, Xia's jokes and one liners are a constant reminder that at least one individual is trying to take the edge off the threat of death for those around her.


Distinguishable Markings: Long hair, deep green eyes, tall and tantalizing body frame


Rank: Sergeant


Personality: Linde's personality shifts with her situation, but one factor which remains constant among the shifting is her unshakable devotion and love of her team. Even when at odds with some of the members, Linde's loyalty to her squad never falters and she fights ferociously to protect them whenever necessary. Her normal personality when out of armor is that of a sweet, intelligent, and sometimes even flirtatious girl. She's calm, poised, and she knows how beautiful she is even though she doesn't flaunt it in front of others. (She really doesn't need to.)


When she's under combat conditions, her attitude becomes much more serious though she can sometimes retain that flirtatiousness and a hint of sarcasm which she's well known for. Still, when in combat and in armor, Linde's attitude is that of a soldier through and through. She knows when to keep quiet, when to speak up, and when to let her actions do the talking. She's calm, poised, and serious. Her body language becomes more rigid and almost robotic, almost as if she's possessed by another person entirely. She tends to react harshly to inappropriate comedic comments, and very harshly criticizes anyone who acts out of line. She's even deliberately broken a team member's leg to keep them from 'going off on their own' so that they were forced to stay with the group where she could keep an eye on them whilst the medic splinted his leg to keep him on his feet.


While harsh, in her eyes it was for their benefit and for the greater good of the team as a whole not to let anyone go off on their own and possibly either die or end up in a situation where they'd be used against the rest of the team.


Strengths: Powerful SPARTAN warrior with a repertoire of techniques to match, calm attitude regardless of the situation, and a gentle, loving heart.


Weaknesses: Some would call her devotion to her team a strength, but it can also be a very exploitable weakness. She has a lack of formal education beyond the UNSC, and most of what she knows lies within the military aspect of her life or combat. Her SPARTAN VI Armor is a variant with few plates for flexibility and agility which makes it more vulnerable than most to projectile weaponry.

Biography: Linde was born on September 9th, 2542 on Earth as the child of a mildly well-to-do Japanese family. Her father worked as the Manager of a UNSC Weapons Manufacturing company stationed in Tokyo while her mother was a College Professor. Linde grew up with the impression that she would become either a teacher like her mother or a UNSC soldier like her father had been before his honorable discharge. During a mission gone bad, he lost his left arm below the elbow during a Covenant Attack several years before the end of hostilities was finally negotiated. She was taught martial arts from a young age by a friend of her father's and was educated at home by her mother.


Linde's personality at this age was that of a sweet, if not naive little girl who thought the world would always stay the same. But as everyone knows, fate seldom works according to plan. Tokyo was the subject of scrutiny not long after Linde's sixth birthday when her father's company encountered a scandal involving several employees and the CEO of the company. While her father was kept out of the limelight as a simple manufacturing department manager, he none the less was one of the first to feel the effects of the negative publicity and the measures the company had to take to keep their reputation. Linde's father was laid off not more than a few days after the incident, forcing her mother to become the money-maker of the family. On her salary, her mother's income was hardly enough and it put a lot of strain on the marriage which culminated in her parent's divorce at the age of eight.


Custody of Linde was amicably agreed to be 50/50, spending one week at a time with each parent on a regular schedule. As she continued to grow, Linde became experimental with both her appearance and her sexuality by the time she had entered her teenage years. At age thirteen, she found a boyfriend in one of her neighborhood residents. The relationship didn't last though, as she found him with another girl less than one week into the relationship. Linde encountered a young woman who would become her first girlfriend a few months later, and their relationship lasted almost seven months before it was forced to come to an end by Linde's parents who were not at all happy that their daughter was exploring relations with other girls.


By Linde's seventeenth birthday, she had enrolled in the UNSC and began her training as a soldier. She turned eighteen during the course of her Basic Training, which was one of the only reasons she was allowed to participate in the first place. She completed Basic Training with flying colors and was granted a position as a Private in the UNSC's marine corps. She served for two years in the field helping to quell rebel forces on a nearby colony world, the name of which she has since forgotten, and on deployment she displayed the first bits of what would become the staple of her personality: her devotion. Linde rescued over ten members of her squad from incoming mortar fire by dragging their beaten and battered bodies to safety before they were rescued via Pelican Extraction. Linde was commemorated for her bravery and given several awards for her acts of valor.


By the end of her brief career in the Marines, Linde's awards included, but were by no means limited to, the Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service, the Silver Star, and the Purple Heart.


Linde completed her service when she was twenty one years old, and returned home to the UNSC Infinity Class warship Striker in its orbit near Earth. It was there that she first caught wind of the SPARTAN VI program by following a tech specialist who was carrying some suspicious equipment which she had never seen before through its halls. She overheard him in conversation with another tech specialist who spoke of the SPARTAN VI program before disappearing beyond her ability to follow into restricted doors. She questioned her CO about the SPARTAN VI program, and received a vague, if not somewhat questionable answer regarding it. This prompted her to continue looking into the matter, but she was ordered to cease her investigation when her CO found out about her poking around.


On September 9th, 2563, on Linde's 22 birthday, Linde was asked to come to the UNSC Striker's deck to speak to the Captain. Upon her arrival, she was questioned about what she knew of the SPARTAN VI project, to which she replied "Nothing, aside from the fact that it exists." The Captain allowed her to take her leave, but by 8:00pm that evening she received a summons to the deck once more where the Captain introduced Linde to one of the the Co-Founders of the SPARTAN VI program. Linde spoke with him at length about the process of becoming a SPARTAN, and was told of the differences and the risks involved with the SPARTAN VI process versus the previous process established by Dr. Halsey. When asked if she would volunteer, Linde was hesitant to agree at first but said "yes" before her mind had the chance to catch up and take it back.


Linde was initiated into the SPARTAN VI program that very night, and by November 2nd, 2563, she was on Alpha.06 where she underwent the SPARTAN process. The surgery was successful, but did not come without severe complications which were thankfully resolved. The application of the skeletal changes took a heavy toll on her and stopped her heart three times before she was finally able to make it through. Despite several setbacks, the process completed by the next morning. As her body grew acclimated to the effects it had on her, she slowly grew more and more aware of the changes which had taken place and came to grips with the reality that she would never be the same again. She was a SPARTAN now, and that meant that she now carried with her several new responsibilities which would shape who she became over the next several months.


On July 28th, 2564, SPARTAN 040-Linde, was deployed to the surface of Alpha.06. It had been learned that a single Covenant Battlecruiser had managed to warp within striking range of one of the colonial cities not far from her station. The siege began at 4:25am on July 28th, 2564, and SPARTAN 040-Linde's feet touched the surface of the planet alongside three other SPARTAN VI soldiers in her squad for the purpose of taking control of the situation and bringing the colony's defensive outposts up to speed on the situation. Linde's squad engaged several dozen Covenant forces including over half a dozen Elites and Brutes, and carved a path through them without a hitch. However, when they reached the first outpost, the SPARTANs encountered something new.


Hunters, one of the most hardy and dangerous of Covenant forces. But they were different than those encountered in the past. They were larger, more heavily armored, and held a newly upgraded version of the previous plasma cannon which was enough to vaporize ODST's on the spot. Even the SPARTANs with their SPARTAN VI Armor variants could do little against them at first until they found their weakness to be the shield itself which was now a part of their biology. Directly behind the shield was one of the only soft spots of their entire anatomy, and before they defeated both Hunters they lost one of the SPARTANs during the chaos. Linde herself was badly wounded by a direct blast from one of the Hunters, and part of her Armor was torn away from her left shoulder exposing her flesh to the world which received a heavy burn from the aftermath of the blast.


With her left arm all but useless, Linde's situation was looking dire. It took the drastic action of her CO and comrades in the field to save her. Exfil came soon after, and her recovery was short and sweet without any serious complications after few days rest. Back in action and ready for more, Linde awaits her new orders.


 
Bumpeddy Bumpeddy!


 
Seriously? Nobody?!


Damn... Maybe I made this RP on the wrong site.


 
Bameddy Bump Bump!

 

[Master Attano]

This looks great and it's clear you've put a lot of effort into this!


I'm already in another Halo RP in the moment otherwise I would be very interested.

 

[Kyero]

Bumpeddy!


 
Bumping out of desperation! I've only got one person interested! ONE! Is anybody a Halo fan at all?!

 

[Ordo Malleus]

I am.

 

[Kyero]

[QUOTE="Ordo Malleus]I am.

[/QUOTE]
Then please to god at least take a look at the RP. Even if you're not interested in joining at least it would be nice for someone to look at it and say it was a decent idea.

 

[Ordo Malleus]

It is a good idea. I am considering joining.

 

[bingus44]

You seem like a great writer, man! I checked out the RP it looks great and looks like you out so much time and effort into it! I'll join, I saw that you needed an ODST, can I be it?

 

[Ordo Malleus]

Curse you....i was gonna take odst...oh well... still in.

 

[bingus44]

[QUOTE="Ordo Malleus]Curse you....i was gonna take odst...oh well... still in.

[/QUOTE]
Haha, sorry. ODST's are the best.

 

[Kyero]

Anyone wanting to be ODST can be one. I just need at least one to be involved. So please do check it out and make profiles, but be warned some of the rules and requirements might put some of you off a bit. Try not to let it.

 

[DrCompton]

You put a lot into, it looks awesome, but I know I couldn't do what you're asking for, sorry!

 

[Ordo Malleus]

Well i can follow he rules. I'm not much of a talker but sure.

 

[Kyero]

You put a lot into, it looks awesome, but I know I couldn't do what you're asking for, sorry!

Can't do what I'm asking for for the SPARTAN or just to get in? Making the profile for the SPARTAN takes the extra work, but playing anything else does not. Just fill out the basic requirements given in the code box and you're good to go for any other character type.

 

[bluepepperoni]

I only played Halo once and that was it. So my memory of that game is kind of blurry and, well, probably almost nonexistent hehe. I just remember Master Chief, his AI and shooting aliens -__-)/ Can I still join despite my lack of information of the game?

Absolutely.


You don't have to be an expert on Halo to join. I'm no expert. I know enough to make the RP and run things, but I'm no buff. All you need is a desire to play and a basic understanding of what you're in for. If you've played at least one Halo game, then you're well informed already so you should be fine.

 

[bluepepperoni]

Alrighty then! Count me in, @Kyero

 

[Kyero]

Still need peeps!


 
STILL NEED PEEPS!!

 

[NeoStigma]

I'm interested.

 

[Kyero]

Still need people!!


Everyone who said they were interested has disappeared!

 

[bluepepperoni]

I'm still here

 

[Goldwolf]

A friend and I are interested. We're definitely in. Going to start creating characters now.

 

[Kyero]

Still need people!! I've got two people besides me who are good to go, but we could use some more!!

 

[Phantom King]

I'm game
