Not everyone in Halo is a supersoldier conscripted into the military at the age of 6, brutally trained and indoctrinated, then given armor that costs as much as a small starship. The ODSTs, or Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, are an all volunteer force that draws new members from the best the UNSC Defense Force has to offer, in addition to the standing militaries of nation-states encompassing the Unified Earth Government.
My plan for this RP is for our characters to be serving as members of a small unit in the ODSTs that will alternate between working for conventional military officers and agents of the Office of Naval Intelligence. Each character will serve a different role in the unit, ranging from a demolitions expert to an intelligence liaison. At most, the unit will consist of six members while on mission. If more than six characters are made for the RP, additional characters will be considered our "reserves" and may replace a member of the unit on the next mission, potentially because their role fits the mission description better than the ODST they'll be replacing.
I also plan on us starting just before the Human-Covenant War when Operation: TREBUCHET, a major UNSC campaign to crush rebel forces, was in full swing. Eventually however, we will make the transition from conducting counter-terrorist missions to taking part in massive battles with the Covenant. This is so we can really explore the Insurrection, which is a conflict that I feel really does deserve some spotlight, given the fact it was what got the SPARTAN program started in the first place.
