Vargas Age: 32 Gender: Female Homeworld: Madrigal Rank: Sergeant Experience: Sofia joined the UNSC when she was 19. Since then, she was deployed extensively in anti-Insurrection efforts, serving through the entirety of Operation: TREBUCHET. However, Vargas was faced with a common problem among soldiers in the UNSC at the time. There wasn’t much to fight. The Insurrectionists weren’t fans of open ground conflict. She could count on one hand the number of firefights she was involved in. More than anything, she visited abandoned Insurrectionist camps, escorted ONI Investigators, and babysat CMA anti-riot operations. She did, however, serve in a few combat operations against the covenant. One of which earned her a promotion and a Purple Heart. Now, she’s been retasked as the leader of Whiskey Squad. Bio: Sofia was born on Madrigal in 2493. Her father was a teacher, and her mother worked in a shipyard. Her’s was a comfortable life, but not one of privilege. Her marks in school were hardly noteworthy, and rather than enter the workforce right out of school, she chose to join the military. There, she excelled. She was a good shot and a better leader. Of course, rank meant more than skill, and for her first few years out of basic, she was a less-than-humble rifleman. She met her first boyfriend, later her fiance, during Operation: TREBUCHET. She would serve for the entirety of Operation: TREBUCHET, moving to the Epsilon Eridani system when the fighting spread there. When the 9th Marine Expeditionary Force was reinforced and reassigned to the Harvest Campaign, she came along. Personality: Something of a hardass, Sofia has a reputation for being tough. Very much a proponent of “tough love,” Vargas cares for the men and women fighting alongside her, though she’d be loath to admit it. On-mission, she’s noticeably serious. Off-mission she’s hardly approachable, but she’s more likely to joke around. She may not smile much, but she’s far from unhappy.

Webley (who was, at the time, a CMA Sergeant) was involved in more than a few operations alongside Vargas during TREBUCHET. The two, at first, exhibited a degree of animosity. This culminated in a massive barfight while the two were on leave on Tribute that broke Webley’s nose and cost Vargas one of her teeth. After that, some begrudging respect came about, and the two ended up friends. Webley introduced her to Ensign Karim, who became her fiance. Though they're friends, they're openly antagonistic toward each other. [i]”Webley is the best the CMA has to offer. That makes him an average marine. He's a fuckin' asshole, too. I ever tell you the reason I'm missing two teeth? Yeah, it was his fucking boot.”[/i][/list] [/hider] [hider=Conn Webley] [center][h3]Connor M.

Webley Age: 29 Gender: Male Role: Corpsman Experience: Conn served for almost nine years in the CMA, and ranked as a Sergeant when the CMA was reorganized. He was then drafted into the UNSC, where his rank meant nothing. He’s completed both CMA and UNSC Basic Training. He’s been trained as a Corpsman. He served for six years of Operation: TREBUCHET, and has been involved in two skirmishes with the covenant. Bio: Connor Mitchell Webley was born in 2498 to Audrey and Mitchell Webley, in Luxor on Eridanus II. He had two siblings, both younger, though, only barely. Conn got good marks in school, but hated every second of it. He had a proclivity for fighting, and generally making a nuisance of himself. After he finished high school, a lot of his friends joined the CMA. With no aspirations, and no desire to further his education, he joined up alongside them. He hated every second of basic training, but upon finishing basic training he was made the leader of his squad. Of course, being a squad leader in the CMA just meant that you were a little better at shooting and crawling than your buddies, but Conn got to tell people what to do and he liked it. As was the case with most CMA soldiers of the time, Conn was immediately assigned to Operation: TREBUCHET. This was three years into the fighting, and by then, the UNSC has almost completely taken over. Conn’s squad was almost exclusively relegated to dirty work. Cleaning up Insurrectionist bombsites, keeping the peace during the many riots. During this time, he met Ensign Karim and Sgt. Vargas. After the CMA was reorganized, he was drafted into the UNSC Marine Corps. He was later transferred to Whiskey Squad, under the command of his old friend Sofia Vargas.

Much to his amusement, it was he who introduced her to her fiance, Ensign Farid Karim. Despite being friends, the two mock each other incessantly. [i]“Hell is other people, but mostly it’s Sofia fucking Vargas. I ever tell you the reason my nose is crooked? Yeah, it was her forehead.”[/i][/list] Other:[list] [*]Conn’s younger brother, Oliver, was caught with bomb supplies and is currently serving a twenty-five year prison sentence for Conspiracy to Commit High Treason, Possession of Illegal Materials, and Possession of an Explosive Device with Intent to Harm.
