> Name: Svipyod, Son of Kipyat > > > Nickname: Yod > > > Gender: Male > > > Age: 24 > > > Appearance > > ![](http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121122223803/halo/images/3/35/UnggoyImperial.png) > > > > Type of Character: Unggoy > > > > Rank: Minor > > > > Armour/Clothing: As an Unggoy Minor, Svipyod's armour is depressingly thin. Aside from the built-in methane rebreather, it contains almost no examples of modern technology and is little more than an armoured gas tank. He has however managed to scavenge a few bits and pieces since landing on Reach, including a couple of UNSC Army pouches on a bandoleer. > > > Weapons: > > Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle, Jiralhanae variant (aka Brute Plasma Rifle). Claimed during a particularly bloody battle against the traitorous Jiralhanae, this rifle has been lovingly maintained and recharged a dozen times over and is Svipyod's second most prized possession after his hunting rock. > > Equipment: > > 2x Three-day Methane Tanks > > 1x Methane Field Still > > 1x Authentic Unggoy Hunting Rock, complete with several dozen minor kill marks > > Personality: It speaks volumes that even Svipyod's own less-than-gifted kind consider him rather dumb, albeit in a kind-hearted, naive kind of way. Unggoy society generally rewards the strong and selfish, and yet somehow Svipyod has survived on a philosophy of altruism and respect. He truly bears no ill will toward any other sentient being, not even those nasty racist Kig-Yar or the Jiralhanae and their Unggoy-eating ways. Overall Svipyod could be described as a gentle little alien puppymonkeylizardthing, loyal to his Master and friendly toward anyone not currently trying to eat him. > > History: Unggoy traditionally do not have need for history. With an average life expectancy of months for newly enlisted Minors in the Covenant's military, most do not have time to chronicle their adventures. Svipyod is a rare exception to this rule, an Unggoy who has somehow survived the best part of a decade of service stretching back to before the discovery of the Parasite. In the eyes of his diminutive people, Svipyod is a grizzled veteran of a hundred campaigns, equal in honour and achievement to any Sangheili warrior; in truth, he is just a lucky little bugger, lacking in the most basic leadership skills required for promotion and yet somehow skilled enough to have survived every battle so far. Stuck in a dead end job and at the bottom of the pile, Svipyod believes he has nowhere to go but up and so serves his Master to the best of his ability as both an infantryman and personal assistant. > > If nothing else, Svipyod is a pretty good cook. For an Unggoy. > > Other: Svipyod is quite the animal person and hunter, making him adept at scrounging up meat. Admittedly said meat is often rat, but in the circumstances... > > When we meet the enemy, we will rip their skulls from their spines, and toss 'em away, laughin'! Am I right, Marines? > > > --- > > > Is he Grunty enough? He's certainly Grunty enough. **Accepted!** We'll pick his master once the Elites are decided. > Character Sheet > > Name: Lennart Bennewitz > > Nickname: Lenny "Nuke Duck" > > Gender: Male > > Age:23 > > Appearance: ![NerdyAsianSoldier](http://i.imgur.com/ARlzEZf.jpg "enter image title here") > > Type of Character:Marine > > Rank:PFC > > Armor/Clothing:![Basic Marine Armor](http://i.imgur.com/wWaZAq4.jpg "enter image title here") A slightly altered version of the standard UNSC Marine Battle Dress, while it still provides excellent protection from traditional ballistic weaponry (barring high powered sniper rifles) Lenny has incorporated a thicker sheet of flak armor across the torso and arms to suit his preferred weapons of choice, explosives. The armor, however still retains the weaknesses of its vanilla counterpart towards plasma weaponry, and while the thickened flak plates provide a modicum of protection, it was designed to catch shrapnel, not super-heated particles. That said, the extra weight of the flak plates are a hindrance. > > Weapons: M319 Individual Grenade Launcher "Gromp", Lenny's pride and joy, requisitioned just prior to the Fall of Reach. > M7 Caseless Submachine Gun > M9 HE-DP Grenades > > Equipment: > C-12 "Damage Packs" > C-7 Foam Explosives > Electronic Explosives Trigger > S.I. Marine Survival Pack (Rations, Fatigues, Radio) > S90 Gas Mask > EB Green "Duct Tape" > Lotus Anti-Tank Mines > Antlion Anti-Personal Mines > > Personality: Lenny can best be described in one word. Paranoid. Having survived ambushes (giving or receiving) from both human and alien, Lenny follows the age old rule of: "Better Safe than Sorry." Has a habit of outlining camp perimeters with high grade explosives and traps even in the most peaceful of times, and exponentially increasing severity in the worst of times. Regards strangers with disdain and distrust, always creating escape routes and contingency plans in all scenarios. While not actively hostile to those who don't directly endanger him or his squad, he keeps a finger on the trigger and a grenade ready to use at the drop of the hat. That said, he's fiercely loyal to the (few) comrades he makes, and believes vengeance is best served with 20 pounds of fiery death. > > History: Born in a mining complex on Muroto, an Earth-sized moon in the Chi Ceti system of the Outer Colonies. Not wanting to be a crystal miner his entire life, with bright and naive eyes he joined the UNSC Marine Corp. He first saw combat against the Insurrectionists as a standard run-of-the-mill grunt when his platoon ran into an Insurrection ambush. You'd imagine a man to fear the sight and sound of explosions after his squad-mates were decimated by a well placed C-12 charge, but Lenny took it as a deadly, yet valuable lesson. Setting off charges and grenades he impeded the Insurrectionist assault long enough for reinforcements to arrive in time to but save but 3. Lenny took these lessons to heart, the world now hostile, cold, and advancing, only slowed by a well placed mine. Promoted to a PFC and reassigned to another company he became the resident demolitions expert; with the coming of the Covenant menace, he and his comrades fought tooth-and-bomb on the Halo Installations culminating into the final Human-Shenghelli victory. After the war, he was posted in a remote outpost outside of New Alexandria. When the Flood began their horrific infestation of the galaxy, his new squad was tasked with civil defense, which soon after collapsed in the chaos. He and his squad holed up in the cities' metro system but casualties in the squad amounted to Lenny being the sole survivor, trapped in a underground maintenance room, not expecting help to come. > > Other: “When I die, please bury me deep! Place an MA5 down by my feet! Don't cry for me, don't shed no tear! Just pack my box with PT gear! 'Cuz one early morning 'bout zero five! The ground will rumble, there'll be lightning in the sky! Don't you worry, don't come undone! It's just my ghost on a PT run!” > — UNSC Cadence Barkmeat; This is good, but that seems like a very large amount of explosives for one man to be just carrying around. Can you put a more definitve cap on how many explosives he has? Like, say, three Lotus, one C-12 pack, etc. Also, around how much ammo has he got? In terms of rounds/clips would suffice. > ### Character Sheets > ---------------------------------- > > **Name:** Ken Holgersen > > **Nickname:** Professor > > ** > Gender:** Male > > **Age:** 58 > > **Appearance:** An old man, with a slender build and of meagre height. He has balding grey hair, thick rimmed glasses and blue eyes. His left leg is prosthetic from just above the kneecap, although it is covered in artificial skin and not immediately noticeable. He is of Caucasian descent. > > ** > Type of Character:**Civilian > > **Title:** Specialist Consultant in Exobiology > > **Clothing:** White, knee length lab coat. Grey suit trousers. Black leather shoes. Blue shirt, black tie. > > ** > Weapons:** None > > ** > Equipment:** Laptop, two bottles of water, three MRE pouches, four syringes of experimental anti-parasitic formula. > > **Personality:** Ken is an arrogant academic. Denied a social life from a young age, due to his unusually high level of intelligence, he can appear extremely awkward and even ignorant in social situations. His logical approach to matters can often present him as a heartless individual, although in truth he always advocates sacrificing the few for the many. > > **History:** Ken was one of the key researchers on Reach exploring medicinal means of combating the Flood. His team had tried countless anti-parasitic formulas on a wide range of theoretical test subjects, being denied a living one due to the risks. Before his facility was evacuated, his team were able to produce very promising results. However, the Flood have now destroyed the facility and all of his research, meaning the laptop and the four phials are the last of his legacy. As of now, Ken's formula has only been tested by a computer, not on a real Flood victim, so its true effect is yet to be determined. > > ** > Other:** "School is now in session!" > > ------------------------------------------------------- > > **Name:** Zhenya Lagunov > > > **Nickname:** Zhen > > ** > Gender:** Female > > **Age:** 29 > > **Appearance:** Small but athletic frame. Blonde hair, tied back and kept short in military fashion. Blue eyes and soft features. 50% of her flesh is covered in plasma burns, a personal relic from a decade ago. She is of Caucasian descent. > > ** > Type of Character:** ONI Security Agent > > **Rank:** Captain, Security Section > > **Clothing:** ![enter image description here](http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080616024424/halo/images/thumb/c/cd/1213584262_Pilot_helmet.jpg/200px-1213584262_Pilot_helmet.jpg "enter image title here") > > Pilot variant of the UNSC BDU. > > ** > Weapons:** M6C/SOCOM > > ** > Equipment:** First Aid Box, Location Transponder, three MRE pouches, two bottles of water. > > **Personality:** Zhenya is a no-nonsense type. She never laughs, and rarely smiles. Always, her mind is on getting the job done. She does not suffer screw ups. She has no problem with aggressively disagreeing with her peers, regardless of rank, in the current situation. > > **History:** Zhenya is the sole survivor of the ONI Security detail assigned to Doctor Ken Holgersen. Initially, she piloted the UH-144 Falcon that extracted her team and the doctor from the beleaguered research facility. However, ground fire from the Flood stuck one of the rotors, forcing her to perform a crash landing. This killed most of her team, but she and the doctor escaped unharmed. She has spent the last two days hauling her charge to the nearest safe zone - but finds them overrun each time. > > **Other:** "You heard the lady! Move like you've got a purpose!" > > > > Good! Only thing is, how much ammunition does Zhen's pistol have?
