Appearance
Whilst in most pictures he looks weathered in skin complexion, Lucas Hickery has quite a young-look, mostly because of his age. His height stands at around 5'11", being an average for most of the male helljumpers that serve the UNSC. His hair is usually left unattended too, despite the somewhat decent look to it, due to his remarks on wearing a helmet nullifying all attempts to present himself. His body shape is quite well-built, but not too much to brag about in comparison to the other, more brute-force ODSTs such as those who specialise in demolitions or engineering. Back to his face, his eyes glimmer an emerald-shade with his hair being the tone of a chocolate brown. A not-so-thin stubble sits around his chin and mouth on most occasions. Overly, he fits the standard description for any soldier, without having any special features that could easily make him noticable amongst some of the more famous ODST personnel.

Lucas Hickery's armour tends towards his specialisation, using a mobile electro-magnetic scanner as his helmet attachment. Though it can easily be mistaken for a sniper's visor, it's a lesser common variant that leans towards the detection and identification foreign and man-made powered machinery and gadgets usually left around by either insurrectionists or the Covenant Empire. Moving away from just his helmet, the shoulder-pauldrons are more towards the standard issue, some of the mid-waist and arms are slightly more balanced between flexibility and armour, in-between the lighter marksmen and the heavier demolitions specialists. Across his lower chest, a series of hard-case pouches can be found, where utilities such as surveying equipment and other anti-technical tools are located. The coloured stripe/secondary colour on Hickery's armour is a light shade of blue; in a specific manner, it is aqua.

>First Sergeant Arnold Griggs

>Fireteam Leader - General Purpose Specialist - Relations between Hickery and Griggs were solid, a good cooperation between them kept them alive in previous missions after their introduction. - K.I.A.

>Gunnery Sergeant Lucinda 'Knock' Graham

>2IC - Heavy Weapons Specialist - Whilst Graham and Hickery got off on the wrong foot in their first missions and impressions, they eventually grew to tolerate one another. This eventually led to a decent friendship that kept them both alive for long enough. - K.I.A.

>Sergeant Lucas 'Spark' Hickery

>Fireteam NCO - Technical Devices Specialist - M.I.A.

>Corporal Jacob Nickelson

>Fireteam NCO - General Purpose Specialist - Nickelson and Hickery never got on and it was always going to be apparent. Sometimes, Nickelson's spite for Hickery as a person has interfered with their performance, being put down on UNSC records for his troublemaking behaviour. - K.I.A.

>Lance Corporal Helen Farnsworn

>Fireteam JNCO - General Purpose Specialist - The best relation towards Hickery, Farnsworn acted as Hickery's greatest ally in all situations. The two were a military match, equalising their knowledge and teamwork towards improving each other's performance on the field. This proved very effective. - M.I.A.

>Private First Class Hiro 'Firework' Natamoto

>Fireteam Unit - Demolitions Specialist - The connection between Hickery and Natamoto was always quite well-off. The two had been quite close off duty, and so they remained on duty. The closest thing to a brother that Natamoto has, Hickery is seen as a viable asset to his commitment to Fireteam Chariot. - M.I.A.

>Private William 'Crack' Osuma

>Fireteam Unit - Sniper/Marksmen Specialist - Osuma was more of a silent type, being the newest assigned member to the team by the time Operation: Grey Axe showed up. However, the two had managed to share a few missions with one another, increasing the respect they had towards each other. - M.I.A.

>Private Yusuf Lincoln

>Fireteam Unit - Close-Quarters Specialist - Lincoln was never a loud solider, nor ODST, and so he mostly held no connection to virtually every member of Chariot, except with Osuma. - K.I.A.

>Private Pauline Austran

>Fireteam Unit - General Purpose Specialist - Austran and Hickery were quite good friends when they first met, even sharing a few meals with one another off-duty in order to get to know one another better. All part of Austran's plan to know her team first, then know her enemy, she became a very close friend to Hickery in the short time she remained in the group without the arrival of Operation: Grey Axe - M.I.A.

Personality
Whilst talented on the field, the mindset of Lucas Hickery isn't as most would expect. Sometimes he faces a slight anxiety about missions not going fully according to plan, as it can result in serious harm for his team-mates or other allied personnel within the area. That is a mindset that sometimes sticks deep within him, like a dagger from behind. Anxiety aside, Lucas likes to think of himself as a well-rounded ODST unit; there are no doubts that he isn't the most perfect out of his Fireteam, but that seems to be something he can accept. He cherishes his appearance amongst Chariot, a fireteam renowned for its high-operation count, as well as large amount of units per Fireteam. His confidence on the greater behalf is regularly quite high as with most ODST personnel. His attachment to UNSC Marines and other ODST personnel makes him quite the decent ally, but the friendships he makes can be easily broken by a few plasma shots.

Lucas Hickery can be quite the talkative person when downtime is ever available and definitely has a lot of stories about his past life, both military and civilian wise, that can reflect on many morals or wondrous achievements he's picked up along the way. These interesting tales have taught him to value his team, which he has easily picked up and settled inside his mind. The sense of community, knowing that whoever's back you cover, they cover yours in return without a minute to think. When it comes to having to long-wolf it, that can be his issue. Whilst his marksmen skills aren't too bad, having multiple fire-modes on his BR55 Service Rifle, his combat skills are honed to suit his fighting style and to attempt dealing with any close-by hostiles.

Biography
Lucas Hickery was born on the planet of Tribute, not too far out from the larger cities, where he lived a close relationship with his father, a current Naval Officer at the time of his young age. As a father, Henry took good care of Lucas, eventually allowing him and his wife to leave the planet and stay in localised systems so that they could never be too far away from him, no matter what mission he was on. Eventually, after a few years of travelling, Lucas began to be based at the station known as 'Reading Station', a UNSC outpost located within an asteroid field that specialised in troop garrisoning and hospitality for passing medical vessels. Here, Lucas underwent further education, under the watchful eye of his mother Jennifer and personal officer (Assigned by Henry, of course) Kilo Roisla. He learnt an early rendition of tactics and UNSC ship identification, as well as sharpening his awareness of regular UNSC activity throughout the galaxy. This developed his early interest for the Military on a grand scale in comparison to simply having a Naval Officer as a father.

However, this ideal plan proved to be immensely flawed, as a small, seemingly alone Corvette from the Covenant Empire began to lay waste to the UNSC Station Lucas was currently living within. The scanners weren't updated enough to catch the Corvette floating into UNSC space, and no one was able to trace where it came from. The possible ideas of a fleet sitting on their doorstep had terrified the personnel aboard the station very quickly. Caught off guard, this UNSC garrison failed to block the entrances in time to stop the infantry from securing their landing post. Large groups of Sanghelli, Yanme'e and Unggoy quickly took control of the main hanger, cutting off the escaping routes for fleeing UNSC and civilian targets. This began the Reading-Station incident.

The strike had left the UNSC entrance vulnerable, which began a 2-day siege upon the Station. With the escape routes seemingly cut off, the civilians that hadn't been killed in the first bombardment, Lucas included, were escorted by large groups of UNSC Defensive Army units. These soldiers were to be the key stronghold for the integrity of this battle, as most communications were being jammed by the Corvette's inner technological systems. Doors were barricaded off, and many soldiers offered to hold key corridors until it killed them, which would be one of the main sacrifices to win the battle overall. Lucas witnessed firsthand a taste of what combat was really like against the new-enemy to the decade, the Covenant Empire. Fourteen soldiers were tasked with protecting Lucas and his Mother across a short hallway, but a fifteen minute skirmish left seven of them dead. Many of the doors were sealed tightly to prevent the Covenant landing parties from getting too close.

By sneaking into the hanger and reopening its blast-doors, a large group of volunteers, mostly soldiers and a few civilians, quickly rushed out to attempt a landing on the Corvette. Whilst they were not heard of for a long time, eventually the communications jam went offline, allowing the call for reinforcements to be made. Eventually, the Corvette must have called a retreat order, making the remaining Covenant forces depart and leave the nearly eradicated base as they'd left it. Whilst the jamming systems were knocked out, saving the station all-together, Lucas learnt from his younger age about the sacrifice of the soldiers who went in, apparently all dying to complete their objective. This inspired Lucas, eventually beginning his path towards the UNSC.

The issues on Tribute were spicing up between the Insurrectionists, Covenant Scouting parties and the UNSC, but at that point Lucas had been transferred to elsewhere to begin his training as a UNSC Marine. Enlisting into the 84th Technical Corps, a specialised unit designed to scan, retrieve and investigate the technology and devices of the Covenant through harsh extraction missions, Lucas had made a few lucky escapes from failed missions. Lucas also had developed a sense of hopelessness in some cases, watching newly made friends go down like a sack-of-potatoes in some combat experiences. The several field-operations that involved both the UNSC Marines and UNSC Air Force to tackle objectives together made it very easy for Lucas to become more open about his choices as a soldier. Eventually, after Operation: Rising Noon, the standard UNSC Marine got to see his first taste of the ODST specialists. After a retrieval operation went sky-high in how much shit appeared, the intensity began to pick the friends of Lucas off one by one. Eventually, the call for reinforcements came in, and within 2 minutes HEV pods entered the atmosphere and crashed nearby, launching out a new-branch (At least to Lucas) of unique soldiers who were equipped to face the worst. They were nicknamed the Spartans who were not, at least to the 84th.

After the Operation was eventually deemed a failure, the instant jump into hell that the ODST did once again increased the respect Lucas Hickery had for them. This respect eventually turned into aspiration, as he signed up for the Voluntary unit that excelled in the Orbital Drop sequence. Eventually, he entered the initial four-step training, which would eventually have him pass. Along the way of his training, he was introduced to Helen Farnsworn, someone who would become his greatest friend in his life in the ODST. The two shared a tremendous amount of time mingling about with other operators, eventually gaining access into the real-scenarios that could train them to work under dangerous circumstances. The training payed off once it was all over, as the two finally exceeded into the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. Once he had gained his ranks, Hickery once again returned to his comfort zone of AI and Technical analysis, applying the knowledge to the field and acting as an intelligence soldier and disposal unit when in the field.

As listed on his service record, Lucas was entered in a series of operations within two teams of ODSTs. At first he was part of a squad simply titled 'Romeo 8', which was later disbanded due to many casualties in the field. As life went on, the formation of Fireteam Chariot, the soon-to-be-many named fireteams specifically created in mind of the Mission to Oman, occurred. Many of these fireteams, mostly based between the UNSC Army, Marines and ODSTs, were handpicked from their posts on Reach at the time based upon records and psychological analysis as they prepared to embark on a perilous journey to a planet many expected to return home from...

Just in case anyone is confused, he's my CS.

~ Halo: Oman ~

Should I post my CS here and then wait for approval to post in the Char tab or should I post directly to the Character tab? Also you mention Army units mixed in with the Marines so is UNSC Army an option as well? @LetMeDoStuff

@Amaranth

I'll let you post it here first. As for the UNSC Army, they were more of a defence force for the main planetary systems, but I mentioned UNSV Army personal being transferred to work alongside the UNSC Marines. The only Army group to join the Operation in this is the 147th Engineer Corps.

~ Halo: Oman ~

Will post my CS tonight.

>Mission_Objective: The UNSC Eighth Fleet's Stranger of Darkness, also accompanied by the Burning Hope and Nimble Spirit, as well as 6 corvettes, were 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 IIIs 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.' If all else fails, learn why they are there, at that Shield World...Put an end to their rampage.

>Mission_Outcome: Specialised Teams of ODST Units were dropped seemingly discretely by the many corvettes in the UNSC 8th Fleet 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, supported by several Spartan Teams. 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 response to 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 Nimble Spirit had to flee, with Captain Abraham Henderson's final transmission to ground forces as...

>"I'm sorry. Words cannot express my inner regret of this decision, but in all honesty, there is no choice. We need to get help, and quickly. However...we are all grateful of your contribution and noble sacrifice...If you are still left, do what you have to do. Either hold out until you breathe the last breaths of courage, or finish the mission. Henderson out."

>The UNSC Nimble Spirit had successfully returned to the safety of Human Controlled systems, and is undertaking many immediate repairs as a priority. However, there were approximately 37,415 Infantry Personnel left behind on Oman, many of which consisted of bands of Marines, several Armoured Divisions, twenty-eight 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. We will be focusing on the ODST teams and Marines (Based on preference) specifically, working alongside leftover troops and spartans 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. Firstly, we have the choice of the UNSC Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, or ODSTs as they are commonly referred to as. Specialising in dropping into missions and acting as the more elite version of the marines, these soldiers usually are well equipped and trained for situations like these. Secondly, we have the UNSC Marine Corps. These are the bulk of the UNSC, acting as an expeditionary force. The UNSC Army are also present, but they generally mix in with the Marines in this situation. The Main Characters will all be featured as either of these, many of which would be newer to full operations, 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 is set right at 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. This means that some of the Marines would also be fitted with the Reach "Army" style BDUs. 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. This makes the plot even more daring for the characters.

---

>The Characters

---

In Left Behind, as already mentioned, you, as the Roleplayers, will be stepping into the hardened boots of the UNSC Marines and ODST branches. Just to clarify, this doesn't include the Spartan Soldiers in this Roleplay. Oman, theoretically, would be a famous battle swept under the rug by the infamous fight on Reach. This may also lead to the first human contact with a very...infectious species. This wasn't a highly infamous Operation, which is why only these newer breeds of trained soldiers were the Frontal Assault units within this bloody battleground.

It will be likely that you create side characters or NPCs of your own, as death will be a common aspect, though it fills the ranks and adds extra interactions. 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 by everyone, that is if they aren't listed as a side-character. If you create such for a ODST Squad, for example, they should be more than likely under your control.

One thing to note about characters is that side-characters and NPCs will die most likely, but so can the main characters. Sometimes,
making a new character may sometimes be necessary to continue, but that's all dependent on the actions of all the players throughout the story.

Everything here should be up to scratch, in my opinion. I'll be looking forward to seeing if this Roleplay can take off, as this is technically a reboot of an old version. If you have any questions, feel free to ask below. As for rules, mostly it's just the regular rules for the RPG website. However, the only other rules that are applied, so much, are the fact that there should not be too much disregard to what I or any chosen Co-Gms say. As with that, I also want the posts to at least be of a paragraph long-stature at the very least. This means that less vague RP posts are to be present and more clarity can be made, even on a minimal post.

~ Halo: Oman ~

*tentatively interested* Grew up with this series. It's still my favorite Sci-Fi series to date.

@GrizzTheMauler

You and me both, mate. Welcome aboard.

Just starting the OOC now.

~ Halo: Oman ~

Any particular CS format, or is that going to be covered in the first OOC post?

@Starlance

It should be covered in the OOC. Depending on if I can get home today, I might be able to whip up the OOC tonight.

~ Halo: Oman ~

Once we have our characters made (when the OOC is finished up) I will divide the characters into teams, just so we have some organisation. It'll be likely that everyone's first post would be about the drop, ending with how it all went wrong, then going to the present.

~ Halo: Oman ~

I have a question. May I join? :D

@Amaranth

Indeed.

<Snipped quote by LetMeDoStuff>

When can we start? ^-^

@Delta44

As soon as I get the chance to make my OOC. It's not too different from what I've put here, I'm just compressed for time.
