Ayyy, I found her again! [hider=Fye McDouglas] [b]Name:[/b] Fye McDouglas [b]Age:[/b] 29 [b]Sex:[/b] Female [b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=Fye McDouglas’ appearance][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/85/fa/73/85fa7325b2c7c7481ae991a38bd234fc.jpg[/img][/hider] [b]Rank:[/b] Lieutenant [b]Armor:[/b] [hider=Fye McDouglas in armour][img]https://i.imgur.com/GbILABG.png[/img][/hider] [b]Weapons[/b] Primary: M20/PDW Secondary: M6H2 Personal Defense Weapon [b]Personality:[/b] Curious and explorative in nature, Fye is one to try and gather up the facts and try to make a conclusion out of them, adding to that conclusion as she gathers more information. Though an analyst at her core, she’s never afraid to fight alongside those beside her or by herself. Fye will always do her best to try and present the positives whilst attempting to hide the negatives until she has something to justify them with, though that doesn’t mean that she won’t speak of a negative situation if it’s immediately relevant and required. As for her mannerisms, Fye is playful yet confident, but she has the problem of trying to shimmy around what orders she can if she has found something more intriguing. [b]History:[/b] Born to a mother and a father that were both marines, Fye ended up left with her uncle, a medically-discharged marine, who frequently travelled on Earth with an interest in exploring cultures that Fye would soon adopt. Her uncle expected that the constant travelling to see new sights would inspire Fye to join the marines, and to follow in the footsteps of her parents, an expectation of her that her parents shared. When her uncle caught her watching battlefield footage of Covenant forces, he did not stop her from doing so. He figured it would allow her to build an image of Humanity’s enemy. He was wrong. School projects became based around the Covenant, whether it be the Covenant as a whole or an individual race. Fye’s interest in the Covenant was one that did not fall along the line of someone wanting to be a soldier. It was at the age of fifteen that Fye’s uncle finally took notice, finally realised that she was not analysing the Covenant as a threat but as an equal, as a different culture like those that she explored with him when she was on holiday. An argument raged that night, questions of how Fye could respect those that her parents were fighting. The arguments did not just last that single night. Week by week, the relationship between Fye and her uncle deteriorated. One night, Fye and her uncle received news that Fye’s father had died in combat during the Battle of Skopje. Her uncle did not take the loss of his brother very well, and took it out on Fye. She suffered a harsh beating that night, something that helped her very quickly in her decision to move out. By 2552, her previous years were a memory to her. Fye had graduated from Edinburgh University, having studied Xenoarchaeology, quite unknowingly, under the watchful eyes of the Office of Naval Intelligence. As such, it was only a duo of days before the newly graduated young woman was hired. There was little research to be done before Earth was attacked by Covenant forces however, and it was by luck that Edinburgh University was untouched by the attack against Humanity’s home. Fye became very quickly infatuated with the Forerunners and their technology, all by a sudden assignment at the Portal of Voi, where she without break explored the device. She was also, alongside this new assignment, provided with most of what Forerunner information that the Office of Naval Intelligence had, with lines of black ink placed here and there. It allowed Fye to build an image of what the portal was used for and begin her theories on the Forerunners, and piece by piece develop her knowledge. It was during May of 2553 that Fye was directed off Earth. It took the signing of many documents before she was aboard a ship headed for a world named Trevelyan. With the long travel duration, Fye was placed into firearms classes aboard the ship, learning how to use and shoot an M6G. She had figured that wherever she was going would be safe, however the fact that she, a Xenoarcheologist, was being told that she would have to have a sidearm on the planet worried her a little about where she was going. Xenoarchaeologists were in demand, and arming them was just one way to keep them safer. She left Trevelyan after a few years with a significant amount more experience and knowledge, and was transferred from project to project, and at a few points, danger to danger. At her posting in 2556, the research post she was stationed at fell under attack by a band of Kig-Yar scavengers and a trio of their ships. With minimal security on-site, Fye and the other researchers there were forced to fight the Kig-Yar scavengers on the ground with the security teams, and were almost forced into a defeat before the UNSC [i]Delfino Plaza[/i] and UNSC [i]Chouchoute[/i] able to respond and eliminate all three ships. Fye was praised for her efforts in helping in the defence. It was, however, on Ivanoff Station in 2557 that she got a very real taste of the might of the Forerunners, those that she had suddenly been studying for so long. Researching the composer, the ring and the artifacts recovered under the watchful eye of ONI Lieutenant Jäger, the research was abruptly brought to a halt. Fye was witness to an attack by the Forerunners themselves, or rather, the Prometheans, alongside Jul M’dama’s Covenant, as the Didact attempted to get to the Composer. Although escape craft were readily available and bing utilised, Fye did not feel like she could get away without first collecting what research she had made and securing it. Fye and Lieutenant Jäger fought their way to Fye’s office with speed, forced to kill the Covenant as they pressed on. Once the data had been recovered and secured, they pushed with the security teams to the escape craft, and as they fled, were forced to bear witness to the killing of all those they had worked with by the Composer. Though upset at first, bearing witness to a fraction of the power and technology that the Forerunners had only drove her on, and further inspired her interest in both the Covenant and in the Forerunners. However, the attack was not the only surprise to come. Once Fye finally was back in the safety of an Earthside office, she was once again contacted by her superiors in the Office of Naval Intelligence. It came as a massive surprise that she had been put forward as a candidate for the Spartan-IV program. The fights she had been involved with at her various posts had been noted, particularly against the Kig-Yar scavengers and alongside Lieutenant Jäger, and the latter had put her forward, under the suggestion that she be given more field assignments. It took only a day for the decision to undergo the augmentation and the training. It took time to adjust, but soon enough she was placed back on field assignments and, eventually, she was transferred aboard the Celestian. [b]Extras:[/b] Fye is adapt in alien languages, which she chooses to learn over Human languages. This includes Forerunner languages, and all Covenant languages save for Lekgolo and Unggoy, the latter of which she is in the process of trying to learn. She can also speak both Forerunner-Huragok and Covenant-Huragok languages. She also can understand some Forerunner technology, though is mostly proficient in their culture and dialect. [/hider]
