HALO: Task Force Conglomerate

@Lauder any chance I could get a beam rifle as a possible req option? I didnt mention it in his CS as I though we were only meant to include our basic loadout but he'd have used beam rifles often during his time in the military. Also what are we saying about energy scimitars and such? I'm not desperate for one but they were used in contact Harvest by the jackals on the ship in that novel

HALO: Task Force Conglomerate

Kax

Kax eyed his weapons with some distaste. The carbine was more than capable of eliminating most targets in a few shots but it didn't have the kick of the beam rifle he was so used to, whatever though, he'd make do with whatever these humans could give him. Work was work after all. After taking one last glance at his infusion station Kax placed his carbine on his back, his needler at his side and ensured his shield was functioning properly with a quick tap to ensure it activited. After a circle of red plasma lurched from the gauntlet he immediatley closed it and made his way out of his room to meet his new teammates.

As he entered the hallway he saw the human standing there already. He sighed at the rather pitiful thing, it was clearly not one of the so called 'demons' he had the fortune of not seeing during most of his campaign but he still questioned how anything so primitive and clumsy looking could ever have defeated his own race nevermind the entire might of the covenant empire. Before he could speak to the human the large ape-like Jiralhanae entered the hallway. The jackal groaned internally as he was put face-to-face with the only creature more primitive and clumsy than his other teammate,hell at least humans made easy enough raiding targets in peace time.

The Brute muttered something about his name, Zertus or something, and that they should head to the command centre. Kax replied back "Kax, and what's the name of you pink-skin?" adding the question on as he remembered that he wasn't just stuck with Zertus for the duration of this venture. After speaking he immediatley examined the corridor and slowly head in the direction of the control room, giving the human time to respond.

Kax

Hider

Character Summary

Name: Kax
Titles: sniper,(ex)major
Aliases: Fire-Feathers
Age: 39
Species: Ruutian Kig-yar
Planet of Origin: High Charity
Gender: Male

Physical Attributes

Height: 190 centimetres
Weight: 90kg
Appearance Description: Kax possesses the large pale eyes of most of his race and also has fairly tanned scaly skin, in the place of the typical plume of feathers, however (which to this day he insists were the best feathers in his fleet) is a rather sad set of small black,burned 'spines' sticking about a centimeter out of his head.
Day To Day Attire: In his downtime Kax prefers to wear rather simple silken fabrics, however as they are generally not available he wears a short-sleeved top with black leggings, albeit this is just what he wears under his combat equipment. Where possible he would rather any kind of clothing that would cover his lack of plumage.
Strengths: Max of 3

• Competent climber-easily able to scale most ledges and steep slopes and has experience using grapples to climb vertical surfaces
• Stealthy-is able to move relatively quietly and good at avoiding detection
• Twitchy eye-always keeping an eye out for new developments on the battlefield and more capable of picking out important details

Weaknesses: Minimal of 3

• Pyrophobic-deathly afraid of fire and will often flee the moment he sees it employed in any way,also has to a dislike of explosives
• Frail-like all jackals Kax has a frail skeletal structure which leaves him far more vulnerable to blunt force
• burned plumage-Due to the loss of his feathers Kax is often looked down upon,mocked or outright dismissed by others of his race, especially females

Psychological Attributes

Cynical * Snarky * Compatriotic * Self-conscious

Sexuality:Heterosexual
Relationship Status:Single
Personality: Kax is a veteran of the human-covenant war, this has led him to become incredibly suspicious of most races involved in the war, especially the brutes and humans who were prime causes for much of the suffering in his life. In addition to his distrust, the shattering of the covenant broke what little faith he held in the great journey, leaving him in something of a limbo in terms of his spirituality which even to this day he hasn't really attempted to fix. Overall the war has caused Kax to develop great suspicion and distaste of others while also making him incredibly wary of those with lofty promises and unrealistic ideas.
Despite his cynical view of others, Kax can grow very attached to those he fights with and often becomes protective of those he has begun to forge something of a bond with on or off the battlefield, even going as far to go against the greed found in most of his race on occasion and offer financial aid to those who need it.
Due to the loss of his feathers, an event to Kax that would be comparable to being castrated, Kax feels inferior to most of his fellow Kig-yar and will usually attempt to make himself as small as possible when interacting with those who are part of his race. He has given up on any hopes of starting a family as he does not believe he could ever attract a mate and is resigned to the fact that he will most likely die in battle even after the end of the human-covenant war.
Habits: Minimal 2

• When feeling particularly self-conscious or nervous Kax will raise one of his hands to his head and begin to stroke the burned remnants of his once great feathers
• When attempting to take a shot Kax will often lick his tongue along his teeth

Hobbies: Intaking large amounts of narcotics, strategic 'board' games of any variety
Fears: 3 real fears that make your character unhinged

• (as previously mentioned) pyrophobia-fire and to a lesser extent explosives
• The concept of being utterly and completely alone
• Forerunner structures

Likes: 6 minimal

• Recreational drugs
• Company (even if not particularly wanted)
• Out-witting/out-manuevering others
• The sound of covenant ships/vehicles
• Huragok
• Travelling through slip-space

Dislikes: 6 minimal

• Humans
• Unngoy
• Jiralhanae
• The Great Journey/The Covenant's Religion
• Human ships (aka floating piles of trash)
• Spending too much time planetside

Skills

• Skill: Dexterity- Due to having hollow bones like other jackals Kax is able to move at far higher speeds than other races which also allows him to evade attacks more easily
• Skill: Extraordinary vision- Thanks to his sharp eyes, ears and nose Kax is able to detect things far more easily, in addition to this he is incredibly twitchy and always on the alert for new threats
• Skill: Talons- Several sharp claws adorn Kax's hands and feet, making him almost as deadly in melee combat as he is at a range
• Skill: Expert Marksman- Kax is an accomplished sniper, having served as one for the majority of the human covenant war and during the great schism
• Skill: Sneaky- Kax is capable of slipping through enemy lines fairly unnoticed and always seems to be able to remain hidden for extended periods of time very well.
• Skill:Adept Climber- so long as he has some kind of grapple or rope handy, Kax is easily able to scale most vertical inclines, even without any kind of grapple he is able to navigate his way up rough ledges or harsh mountains

Possessions

Possessions Generally in Room:

• Item: Storage safe- simply a safe place to store his precious spoils after a mission, whether awarded to him or stolen off the battelfield
• Item:Some kind of narcotic dispersal aid (scifi bong of some kind) - after a battle Kax loves to wind down using one of his many dearly loved narcotics, not having one would lead to much irritation from the jackal
• Item:A mintaure ship replica (preferably seraph or phantom class ships)- despite not being a pilot, Kax enjoys the design of covenant craft, if it can reproduce the rather pleaant hum then all the better

Weapons: Personal weapons, no forerunner weapons to start

• Item: Type-51 Carbine - not quite the sniping powerhouse Kax is used to but a capable long ranged sniper that fires rounds of radioactive projectiles semi-automatically will be enough to make heads roll
• Item: Type-56D Needler - a automatic side-arm able to explode violently if sufficent crystals enter the targets body leading to a gruesome mess.

Armor: Jackal shield+ typical sniper jackal armaments

History

History: Kax was born on High Charity in 2518, naturally this meant his life would be dominated by the Human-Covenant war and was quickly enlisted into the military upon reaching maturity where he served in the Prophet of Regret's own Fleet of Sacred Consecration and various other minor fleets before this (including Thel Vadamee's Fleet of Particular Justice during the fall of Reach before being reassigned).
During the Fall of Reach, Kax was deployed in the city of New Alexandria where he served under one of the brute chieftains tasked with obliterating the city, this was not to Kax's tastes at all as he personally thought the brutes were lousy apes with no right to be ordering him around. During this time during a combat engagement with UNSC forces, Kax was almost struck by a napalm grenade, the majority of the napalm was deflected off of his shield however his upper head and plumes were not covered and quickly burned off. After some agony, the napalm was removed from the jackal's smoldering head only after the brute commanding him physically ripped the burned feather's off of the kig-yar's head. Naturally, Kax's fellow jackals quickly began to mock his lack of feathers and gained the not so affectionate nickname of 'fire feathers'. After this rather traumatic even Kax demanded to be reassigned and retrained as a sniper to avoid such situations (and to avoid as much mockery as possible), after some time he was reassigned and served as a fairly competent sniper until the Great Schism.
At the beginning of the Great Schism, Kaz happily betrayed his old Jiralhanae allies who had so brutally emasculated him essentially in front of his peers and effectively executed several brutes stationed on the arc from his crows nest once the fighting begun, to then flee with the small group of Sangheili he had rescued and ended up joining the rather strange group led by the Arbiter. When ONI approached his higher-ups about requiring a group of soldiers, apparently the now grizzled and somewhat cynical kig-yar veteran was ideal for whatever the hairless apes had install for him.

HALO: Task Force Conglomerate

@Lauder settled on a kig-yar war veteran, just a few questions for this character.
1-what sort of weapons will we be allowed initially? I'm not sure whether he would use a typical covenant carbine or if a beam rifle would suit better
2-For his ranks should I just put the ranks given in-game for jackals? So in his case a jackal major and then sniper?
3- not really a question but just noting that jackals generally only have first names so just in case you arent aware that's the reason his full name is literally just a three letter first name :v

HALO: Task Force Conglomerate

@Lauder Ohhh, are there spaces still available here? I'm potentially interested in making a kig-yar war veteran because jackals dont get enough love dammit or a sangheili of some description.

Danganronpa Alternate: Apologies to Hope (Reboot) [Deader than Disco]

Saitou Izo

Izo eyed the 'holy' water for a moment, a deep frustration building inside. Did this fool truly think he believed that water could be made divine in some way? To even suggest a physical object made upon the mortal could be 'holy' in some way was at best laughable and at worse heresy! Yet Izo could not be angry, the poor fool was misguided and likely did not even remotely understand the way of things.

The ultimate fanatic drank the glass of very-much-not-holy-water without a word before answering Taya's question "Mm, men without guidance fall to their vice, whether that be lust, wrath or greed. I am not entirely sure which vice that one falls into but he seems to be a fool for certain."
He took another sip from the half-empty glass before adding "Oh, and if we all escape this place without there being a single death, you can tell me you told me so."

Civilization III: A New World

The Lycan Covenant

At the news of the rhino man trio being reported to him, Vlath knew what must be done. As Mex Silentpaw was the one reporting the new information to him in his makeshift shrine, he instructed her to send a pack of Silentpaw hunters back across the river and to the newly established Seagard, there they would meet up with two packs of Bloodfang warriors. This fighting force was to then travel to the holy sites and find the Rhino men and defeat them. They could not escape but if possible one should be brought back for questioning, however, if their capture endangers the warriors then they should end their lives.

Having given his orders to Silentpaw, Vlath was left alone in his tent. He decided it was time to go and see how his people were coping in their new home. As he walked from his tent he immediately saw that perhaps this move was for the best, the lumber being supplied was far closer and so wooden lodges could be erected far faster, the rabbits that had survived could hopefully survive on the dryer landscape and even the mountains were closer by... that would make them easier to mine, the stone would be needed for greater construction and greater shrines to the God's glory. With that thought in mind he sought out Goldtooth, who was overseeing the flow of lumber from the forest to the new settlement as it entered Wolfhelm. The Voidcaller simply ordered the lycan to find a group of scouts and to have them escort a goldtooth with some knowledge of the ways of the earth to survey the mountain and to find a potential location for a mine.

Summary

Vlath orders a 6 Silentpaw and 12 Bloodfang warriors (a group of 6 lycan warriors is a pack so sh) to travel to the shrine and eliminate the rhinomen present and try to capture one alive for questioning if possible

Vlath orders Goldtooth to gather up a group of surveyors to find a suitable spot for a mine in the mountains to the north.

Story to Remember

I'd be very happy to see EH make a comeback. I'm not sure where everything's up to for this project but I'd be happy to help where I can.
Also if Silvan's group of goodie two shoes are making a comeback I'm at least dragging my character back to life to combat them
