>Mission_Objective: The UNSC Eighth Fleet's Stranger of Darkness, also accompanied by the Burning Hope and Nimble Spirit, was to send a full interception operation towards a discovered, habitable Shield-World known to ONI as 'Oman', where Covenant Forces were to be apprehended. It was believed that Fleet-Master Grazo 'Lovamee was placed in this location, and that the destruction of not only him, but his Ship could help turn the tide of many conflicts in different Systems. Accompanied by UNSC Marine Forces and Special Operations Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, UNSC Spartans were to land on the surface, gather intelligence on the Occupational Force's Fleet Master's location and assassinate him as a target. If the Objective was complete, or incomplete, personnel would have to infiltrate the Flagship, Vigilant Redemption, and remove it as a threat with specialised 'Slipspace' explosives. The Second Objective was considered a 'High Priority Objective, not to be failed for the sake of the War.'

>Mission_Outcome: Specialised Teams of Spartan Units were sent discretely with Transportation onto Oman's surface, where they would establish small communications and reconnaissance tasks. After three days, the three Vessels were to arrive, beginning on drawing the Fleet into separate segments of Orbit, allowing less resistance for the Ground Teams as Full-Frontal landing parties from both the UNSC Marine Corps and ODST Detachments would then too land on the surface. It only took Two Hours of the Eighth Fleet's Presence for an Evacuation to be called. This Evacuation, however, wasn't called from Covenant Personnel. The UNSC Nimble Spirit was to flee in rapid panic from the scene, with the destruction of both the Burning Hope and Stranger of Darkness. Badly damaged and under very little time to regather units, the Ship had to flee, with Captain Abraham Henderson's final transmission to ground forces as: "I'm sorry. However...we are all grateful of your contribution and noble sacrifice...If you are still left, do what you have to do..." The UNSC Nimble Spirit has successfully returned to the safety of Human Controlled systems, and is undertaking many immediate repairs as a priority. However, there were approximately 7,415 Infantry Personnel left behind on Oman, many of which consisted of bands of Marines, several Armoured Divisions, Seven ODST Teams and Fourteen Spartan Teams. Most are presumed dead, all of which are labelled as M.I.A. on UNSC and ONI Records. No further transmissions or communication links with any ground force still left on the Shield World's surface has been accomplished. ONI deny any means of sending Search Parties until the Covenant Occupation Fleet has either disbanded its task from the Shield World or been destroyed. Unpredictable prices of UNSC and ONI Equipment has been left on the Planet, as well as destroyed in the Orbital Combat. Predictions of ever returning are minimal, from both High Ranking Officers of the UNSC and High-Level Authorisation of ONI.

>The Scenario

---

Welcome, you lot, to Left Behind, a semi-Survival based Roleplay revolving around the franchise of Halo, as you might've guessed at this point. Set around those who never made it to the evacuations, which were quite high in numbers, and were left stranded on the Shield World 'Oman', there's only two options for such soldiers. Complete the Objective...Or Die. Mostly set around the Spartan IIIs, working alongside leftover Troops that'd be found along the way, a Mission of uttermost suicide, yet importance, is yet to be accomplished. The Decisions made from the survivors will lead to succession, or critical failure.

So let's talk more about the Cast, the characters and main focus for the Scenario. Spartan IIIs, the (Obviously), third generation of Spartan Units mass produced to serve the UNSC as Super-Soldiers. The Main Characters will all be featured as Spartan IIIs, many of which would be Newer Combat Efficient ones, whereas a selected few, and myself, would be more experienced. Almost completely spread around the surface of the planet, many of those who'd come together would end up forming smaller teams. These would be depending on who was the closest to them after the Defeat of the Orbital Engagement, as many on other areas of the Planet would've been wiped clean of straggling UNSC Personnel. Consider these characters the Lucky one's, up until they realise what they'll have to keep on fighting for...Coincidentally, if you are aware of dates and timelines, you might've realised that the Orbital Defeat, and a Day Prior to the start of the Roleplay, was the beginning of the Assault on Reach. This taking place roughly at the same time period, armour, weaponry, abilities, enhancements and technology would roughly be the same. The Invasion taking place on the infamous battleground, it had led to an even thinner chance of any UNSC Fleets ever returning to rescue the survivors. Just a neat lil' aspect I decided to add in to make things seem a little less complicated.

---

>The Characters

---

In Left Behind, as already mentioned, you, as the Roleplayers, will be stepping into the hardened boots of the Spartan III Super-Soldiers. Just to clarify, this doesn't include the Spartan II's Soldiers, in this Roleplay, seeing as those would've been Based on Reach. This wasn't a highly infamous Operation, which is why only these newer breeds were the Frontal Assaulters of this Battleground. Male? Female? Gender clearly doesn't concern anyone, as the Programme was open to all kinds of Kidnapped Selected individuals hand-picked by ONI itself. Raised as Soldiers from a young age, they aren't exactly a stranger to the dangers of their upcoming battles. Yet, that doesn't always mean they'll survive the onslaught they are rested in.

The Roleplay will all focus with the side-help of NPCs created by me. They won't just be side-lines to fill the blanks, but rather crucial in their own small aspects. Some, for example, would be trusted with important objectives and what not. They also can act as some of the punishments and sanctions caused by the Main Characters' actions. Make a traumatic failure, you can expect a team-mate to go down without any glory or time to realise their under-attack. These can be controlled, for interactions and stuff, by everyone, though are only to be majorly tampered with by the Creator of the NPC. If you create such for a Fireteam, or have some within your Fireteam...They should be more than likely under your control. Just don't argue over them, alright?

Before I flash up the CS, here's a note on Creating a Character. I've recently got ahold of Vanity, a Halo-Reach based Spartan III Armour customising application. This allows me to create 3D Images of Spartans, and not just for my own personal use. If I can hopefully get requests in, if you search up the Halo Reach Armour Modification List, I can create your Spartan to your liking. This helps create a great image/perspective of what your Armour truly looks like. Unfortunately, as you might notice, Helmet Attachments aren't available yet in the Application, hence there being none used. Keep this in mind. Here are a few examples, for instance, that I whipped up whilst messing around with the Editor...

Example One

Example Two

Example Three

And so, here's the CS I mentioned. Try to follow the Template as closely as possible. I'll allow you to upgrade it, add things, make it look pretty and shit. For all I care, it can look extremely nice. As long as it has the essential requirements and information, it is your oyster to muck around with!

CS Template

---

>Profile

---

>Armour: [Place Armour Model Here]

>Full Name:

>Nickname: [Optional]

>Gender:

>Age: [Somewhere between 21 & 29. Many of those used weren't completely used to being Spartans on the Field]

>Service Tag: [4-Digit, Letters Allowed, Code that is used as a Callsign for UNSC Spartans]

>Rank: [Structuring from Private, all the way to Warrant Officer Grade 3. That makes: Private, Private First Class, Lance Corporal, Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Gunnery Sergeant, Master Sergeant, First Sergeant, Master Gunnery Sergeant, Sergeant Major, Warrant Officer etc. This is going by the UNSC Marine Corps Ranking system, rather than the Navy or other terms. I'm not expecting a shit tonne of Spartans to be like, anything higher than a Sergeant, and even so, I'll be having very few of my NPCs and Character exceeding that Rank. The Lower one's usually make for lesser-experienced troopers, making the Survival more difficult.]

>Fireteam:

---

>Appearance: [Make a good description, a Picture would be even better, of the General Appearance of the Character, as well as a rough description of the armour worn by them, to help clear any confusions caused by the images.

>Personality: [Says it all. Try and make it worthwhile.]

>Equipment: [The Weaponry and Stuff...]

>Armour Enhancements: [Limited to One, Sprint not counting as an Armour Ability. If you have any requests for specialised abilities, like the general Bubble-Shield that can help stabilise wounds, don't ask, then go ahead and ask. If it is reasonable, then sure...I'll accept it.]

>A.I: [Now this area is totally Optional. If you want an A.I, so be it...but don't expect it to be some major Red Vs Blue: Freelancer-Type A.I. This'll make for more of a General companion, for information, and giving characters someone to talk to and mingle with. If you wish to not have one, go for it. An image if so would be delightful, yet optional.]

---

>Positive Traits: [Advantages and Strengths as both a person and Spartan.]

>Negative Traits: [Reported Issues of your Character, so the opposite of the Upper Segment.]

>General Likes: [Just for the extra information.]

>General Dislikes/Fears:

---

>General Background: [How they came to be, where they were born, their Planet of Origin etc.]

>Notable Training Records: [Include things that might mix with the Traits based upon their Training History.]

>Specified Service Record: [If you want, include a few Fictional, or Non-Fictional to the series, Operations that the Spartan might've been used for. Lowest Ranks would be limited to One or Two at the most.]

>Known Affiliates: [Friends, Family, Comrades...Dead or Alive, that is. If Dead, state date of Death.]

There, as seen, is listed Fireteam. A Fireteam consists of 4 to 8 Spartans, in this Roleplay. Usually filled with NPCs, unless Roleplayers want to join other Fireteam's to give a basic friendship between one another, or hatred. There'll be many teams for you to create, each with their own NPCs and leaders above you. Fireteam Leaders usually consist of Warrant Officers and Sergeant Majors, so don't expect to be leading anyone at this point. The only Fireteam that is completely out-of-bounds from use will be Fireteam - Chariot. Reasons behind this is to do with their role. This team played an extremely crucial part in the Operation, and still technically are, and will include myself as one of it's personnel. I won't be starring as a huuuuge leader, but I'll have some small leadership over you. Don't worry, you can still command the group of Marines and other Spartans, in cooperation more than ordering, that fall beneath you.

---

>The Rules

---

>Rule 1: My Word is Law. Don't like it, file a very friendly complaint before most likely being rejected.

>Rule 2: You may be a Spartan, but that doesn't mean you are God's Gift. Don't go charging into unrealistic situations with unrealistic outcomes, though that doesn't stop you from having your odd Moment to shine every once in a while.

>Rule 3: The Gear. Don't make it too Far from the Chronological Era, and don't introduce any Prototype weapons. The Only Prototype Weapon being used is perhaps the Slipspace Bomb, as well as maybe the unique Armour Abilities, if they are within reason.

>Rule 4: When creating a Character, don't make them roughly similar to everyone else's. I mean, it isn't compulsory, but it isn't advised. You want your Character to at least have some individuality, despite being a War Machine to some extent, as well as evening the chances of survival. If we, for example, had a entire Roleplay full of marksmen, or CQC Specialists...You know how fucked they'd be. That doesn't mean you can be similar to maybe one specific individual...As long as it isn't a complete Copy and Paste scenario.

>Rule 5: If you have any concerns about other Roleplayers, whether it is for safety, don't ask, or you dislike their actions...Don't fucking apprehend them like some SO-19 Armed Police Unit. Private Message me, explain the problems you are suspicious of, and I'll try to settle the issue as well as possible. Cramming up the OOC with hate-mail isn't exactly my Cup-Of-Tea, so don't fuck up this rule.

>Rule 6: If you are going to be absent for some time, please tell us, for the love of God. I'd prefer knowing whether you are going to be absent or not. I know that some people cannot explain these issues, which I totally understand...but if it is possible, try to explain. To combat any halts in the Roleplay, your character can be temporarily handed over to another Roleplayer, or me, for fair use until you return. Upon joining this Roleplay, you immediately agree to this rule first. I don't want anyone waiting around in interactions, so after some time...this'll be put into play.

>Rule 7: If you need to leave, tell us. Anonymous disappearances for-good aren't in my Wants. If you wish to leave, become bored, or have something drawing you away, please let us know. From there, we can decide quickly your Character's fate. Whether they continue living for a good amount of time as an NPC, or whether they die almost as soon as you leave, is completely up to you. You won't have long to decide, and beyond your leave, we can alter their fate in fair use. If, however, you have been removed from the Roleplay, you will not get this decision. I will decide whether your character lives, dies, or gets eaten by some Mushroom or something...Tough luck.

>Rule 8: Finally, interactions. Whether you want to collaborate with another writer, which is totally fine, or wish to just chat for some time, don't drag it on for too long. We'd like to progress the story, so using forward-moving dialogue would help. That doesn't mean you can't talk to anyone, but a conversation too long is a conversation not advised. Romance also falls under this banner, staying within the RPG's PG-13 Rule. If things are going to get into that weird...Kink area...Then take it to the PM, where the rest of the Roleplayers don't have to experience someone putting something in someone's ear...or something...

Everything here should be up to scratch, in my opinion. I'll be looking forward to seeing the CS's progression, hopefully having Roleplayers seize places in the Roleplay and generally enjoy it as it goes on. I'll too be creating my CS soon enough. Remember, if you wish to have a Vanity armour make-up, tell me the armour specifications and looks following the UNSC Reach Outfitting [Basically the Armour and Colours of Halo Reach] and I'll do my best to make it as decent as possible. I hope those taking part enjoy the Roleplay, and wish to see a great experience from this! Thank you.

@DeadnautAwesooome.

@Lord ZeeAweeeeesome.

@VKAllenEveryone will be expected to at least have some sort of differential-features about one another. I'm not planning on having everyone from the same team, though some can be partnered with others if they wish. I will create outcomes if things get too bad, hopefully, and am ready to punish you if it all goes to shit. For instance, there'll be a few NPCs I'll use occasionally that are quite essential to the Mission. Screw something over, and you lose yourself a decent chance of completing the mission. Whether the mission is to end as a failure, success, or even one with a huge sacrifice, then so be it. It's all going to be down to how you play it out.

I'll be starting on it right away!

Left Behind ~ Halo RP

@VKAllen I'm hoping to make it quite Plot-Driven, so it isn't just action after action...

@Otaku95I was going to set it perhaps only a few Months prior to the Fall of Reach, I was just using the Mark VI as an example. That's why there'll be a lot of the similar armour variants that are seen in Reach. [Just look mainly to Reach's armour selection]. It's mainly around the same sort of time as Reach, which could add towards why no one came for them.

@InertiaVery Noice to hear!

I'll try and get the OOC up soonish, but again my Hospital visits might get in the way, hopefully not.

Left Behind ~ Halo RP

@Garden GnomeI've put a little Edit in the First Post...You should take a lil' look.

Left Behind ~ Halo RP

@Garden GnomeThat's only a last Resort...

Left Behind ~ Halo RP

@Garden GnomeJust as a Head's up, if we don't really get anyone, there's always the option to do it just with the two of us...We might get a few more, which'd be perfect, but if it comes to it...Always an Option? :D

[AoT 1x1] - 'Grim Tales'

Grant let out a minor grin, still slightly woozy from the whole experience. He watched her fall down slightly, cursing his actions in a low tone. Slowly bringing himself to his feet, however staggering upon doing so, he once again towered over the woman. "Well...Next time, don't ask me for help...Maybe you could just leave it in there, or worse...bleed out?" He carried that same grin on his face as he had done in previous encounters. "You don't exactly seem like the ideal injury candidate, do you?" He squatted down again, looking at the slightly battered gear that was barely hanging onto her waist. Grant's eyes narrowed dearly, as he placed a large hand on one of the Gas Chambers on the 3DMG. He held it for roughly seven seconds, his eyes trailing leftwards towards the sky. Thoughts buzzed through his mind as he spoke out the results, regardless if she was listening or not. "Your Gas tank is...warm. If it's warm...then..." He paused, removing his hand. Grant began to chuckle deeply to himself, knowing that it was more than humorous to find out her crucial mistake. "You went head-to-head against a Titan...With barely, if any, gas. Geez, you'd think I was wrong for saying shit like you think to quickly....But you definitely think too quickly!" By common initiative, he held out his right hand, gesturing a help up for whenever she wasn't going to complain in utter pain. "I think you'll find we've got something to speak about...as well as you saying thanks, which I'm still waiting for..."

Here, I've had an idea of a Halo-Based Roleplay, set in a Fictional [To the Franchise] scenario of UNSC forces being left behind on a Forerunner Shield World, trapped with almost an entire Occupation Force removing any means of escape. In order to even come close to succeeding in taking either a ticket home, or out of life, they'd need to complete their original objective and damage and/or destroy the Fleet's Flagship, hopefully taking the Fleet-Master with it. I'll let you, as the roleplayers, decide which of the three Factions the focus would be of: The UNSC Marine Corps, the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers or the Spartan-IIIs. The whole idea of this would be based upon survival, guerilla-warfare and banded assaults to, hopefully, complete the mission they were originally given. It'll be set at a Mid-High Casual Level of Writing, which to me means understandable quality [Spellings can be off here and there, even moderately frequent, as long as we can actually, and consistently, understand what you are trying to put forward]. I'm hoping this interests at least a few people, as much as I am at least, and are willing to join and share ideas for further/final development plans to make this a successful Roleplay! Thanks for reading this!

Edit: I managed to get ahold of Vanity, some Halo Reach Armour Customising application, where I can create simple, not complex at all, pictures of armour of my desire. However, the only thing missing is helmet attachments. Nevertheless, when you'd make your character...you could ask me to make something along these lines.
