Hey, I've been having that ol' Halo itch recently and I've been eyeballing this up. I may get a sheet worked on and apply if you're okay with giving me a few days/ are alright with a more moderate posting rate!

I will say this looks really well thought out and the lack of playable Spartans is very appealing; I really like character driven stories that aren't about being an uber badass, so a somber survival tale is right up my alley.


More than fine to have you on board. I do like to consider the vulnerabilities of humanity during Halo as its peak moments of interest. ODST was one of the ways of capturing that but I wanted an even deeper character narrative, one that is set within a similar setting to Reach. Kind of a blend between the two, I suppose. The first time I tried the RP it was with Spartan IIIs, obviously being one of the weaker ones, but the powerplaying was over-the-top. Plus, who doesn't love the wittiness and humane lifestyles of the UNSC troops?

Speaking my language, good sir.

That's part of why Reach was probably my favorite Halo campaign overall (although, 3 and ODST were my two favorite narratives). I felt it best captures just how bleak and hopeless most of the war was, as well as emphasized just how superior and devastating the Covenant was. I feel like 4 and 5 kinda messed up what made Halo such a refreshing setting by making humanity super powerful and more capable than any of the Covenant species after the war. You'd think losing almost all of your colonies and having your home planet nearly destroyed would leave very little military personnel and resources left to pursue things like the bloody Infinity.

Onto the RP stuff, probably going to go with an ODST scout/ designated marksman or exotic weapons specialist. Normally I find sniper characters way too overdone or too cool for school, but hell, I was a recce soldier IRL, I'd like to think I'm grounded.

Reconnaissance is always a good amount of fun. I experimented too with my Technological Operator, because it gives me a way to show his interests, attention to detail and knowledge despite being the soldier he is.

@LetMeDoStuff Sorry about slowness on my end! I got caught up with urgent replies the past couple of days and I work long hours, so I haven't had a chance to sit down and start just yet. Hopefully before work tonight or tomorrow, but I am off Wednesday and Thursday so I'll be able to knock something off of good quality then.

No need to apologise! We are a chilled community and don't expect everyone to be 100% free at all times. Just as long as things are okay on your end then things are okay on ours.

Still here!


The world would be a darker place if that wasn't true.

I'm sorry, it's been a hellish week for me having any time off/ being able to focus on writing. I think I'm going to bow out for now so you aren't waiting for me, but maybe a bit down the road when I kind of get things sorted, I'll come back if you got space. Thank you for your patience with me and I'm sorry for the trouble!
