Topic: The Halo Rpg

All right, this is going to be awesome. Everybody knows the story, the game, the sound, the familiar tone of a chior in the music... now let's live it. This RPG will be about a story in the Halo Universer, of course. We'll set it in Halo: Combat Evolve's storyline, then gradually move farther I suppose.

The story will begin on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. Here's some infromation to read on about it: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/UNSC_Pillar_of_Autumn

Everybody knows Master Chief, I'm sure. If your not sure who's who here's a list of the generated Halo characters:

Master Chief (John-117) - http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/John-117

Cortana - http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/John-117

Avery Johnson - http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Avery_Junior_Johnson

Captain Keyes - http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Captain_Keyes

Here's information on the forces:

Marines - http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/UNSC_Marine_Corps

Covenant - http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Covenant

And here's a quick definition of the troops in the Covenant:

Elites - They are Warriors that survive on what is given to them. Their armor has a energy shield built into it, and they usually carry Plasma Rifles.

Grunts - Small Warriors that travel in small packs, usually with a stronger soldier with them, usually an Elite. They have no shields, and only carry a Plasma Pistol.

Jackals - Swift soldiers, that usually carry a Portable Energy shield with them. They usually travel with Grunts or Elites, and usually carry plasma Pistols. When in open enviroments, they use a Beam Rifle (Sniper).

Hunters - Massive Units with Very Heavy Armor, and huge shields. They usually travel in pairs, and fire Fuel Rods.

Okay then, that just about wraps up the main things to know. Alright, so we'll start on the Pillar of Autumn. You can only be a Marine, so don't get to cozy about being a Spartan.

They're sentients to ya know?  ^_^ Only Elites, Grunts, and Jackals ((but why chose a Jackal or Grunt when you have Elites?  wink ) for now though.

Hey Jest, no offense, but when we said no Spartans we meant in any shape or form. That means not Spartan super armor.

My bad, I will fix it Starr.

Re: The Halo Rpg

Didn't mean to sound mean. It's just that if we allowed Spartans everyone would be a Spartan and what kind of RPG would that make? Being in the armor or just having the enhancements is included in that 'no Spartan' thing. Same reason I blocked out all the high Sangheili and Jiralhanae ranks.

Re: The Halo Rpg

Spartans are the thing Master Chief is, right? I'm not a fan of the story, but I like the Halo combat. Regardless, I'll try this.

Name: John 'Scorchy' Fredson

Gender: Male

Rank: Sergeant

Background: Born, raised, and trained a military man, his father was a General and legendary strategist. His mother was a Lieutenant known for her smarts and familiarity with enemy weaknesses. In contrast to his parents, John is known as Scorchy, a nickname he got for shooting first and asking questions/planning things out/being rational later. He's still made Sergeant for his bravery and willing to protect the man-downs. He knows his stuff, he just doesn't act like it most of the time. He was put on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn for his knowledge with foreign equipment and weapons he got when he was abducted and tried to be brainwashed with the knowledge.

Specialty: Master marksman aim and knowledge of enemy weapons/weaknesses.

Nationality: American (ancestry of Irish)

Re: The Halo Rpg

Yeah. They're advanced, enhanced cyborg/super soldiers to put it mildly.

Yup, super advanced humans of destruction. But yeah, if everyone was Spartan then we win... all the time. Haha! Human win all the time though. haha!
----------------------------

... And here's my 'Elite' character, because let's just face it - they are cool.

Name: Thell P'haux

Species: Sangheili

Gender: Male

Rank: Spec. Ops. Officer, Aristocratic blood

Background: Raised on Sangheili, Thell was put through the military. His unique skills and use of weapons was noticed.

Specialty: Plasma Rifles, and Carbines. Also, the Energy Sword, of course.

Affiliation: Covenant

Alright, I guess this'll be all for now. Anyone else who wants to join, submit your APP here, and jump in.

** The UNSC Pillar of Autumn comes across space, with several Fighters trailing the sides. Captain Keyes stands at the Main Control Room, looking out at a Halo Ring. **

Keyes: "Cortana...  how did they?"

Cortana: "Beat us here? Covenant ships have always been faster."

** The Covenant seemed to have beaten the Pillar of Autumn to the strange Ring that seemed to float not far from a below planet. They sit there, waiting for the Pillar of Autumn to come in a Cruiser ship. **

Tech Worker: "Sir, we have several drill pods coming into our Escape Pod bays!"

Keyes: (Comes over and looks at monitor) "Of course... Okay, put all men on full alert! I want Marines covering all sector pods now - evac is on green." (Looks at Cortana) "...And Cortana. Give our friend a wake up."

Cortana: "I already have."

((Meanwhile, at the lunch room - Captain Keyes' message breaks in. Sergent Jay is moving in with an Assault Rifle and Pistol.))

Jay: "Give me some support!" (Fires at a staggering Grunt)

Wake up. You were dreaming. What's your name?

Re: The Halo Rpg

Em: (manages to pull a wounded Marine out of the line of fire just as plasma bolts whizz by)
I'm a little busy here!
(she takes out a first aid kit)
Fredson give Garlan some fire, damnit!

Language... let's face it, it's a war.

* Fredson runs over near Jay, and tosses a frag at a grunt group. *

Fredson: "Frag out!"

* The Grenade blows up, sending grunt bodies in multiple directions. *

Jay: "How's that for a little explosives!"

* An Elite taking cover on the opposite side and laughs, and fires at Fredson. *

Fredson: "Is that the best you got?" (Fires assault rifle blind over cover)

Wake up. You were dreaming. What's your name?

Re: The Halo Rpg

I am a spy of the covenant for the past 7 years and I am trying to help them in this war by giving them inside info and help but at this time nobody knows it.
--------------------------------------

Grim: (Grabs a rifle and runs to the front lines and starts firing)

Grim: I will hold them off until you can get the wounded off the line.

Grim: (Keeps firing and hits grunt after grunt but the are not dead just stuned because I have it set on stun not kill)

Grim: I am going to take the fight to them!!!!

Grim: (Dashes from behind the box and runs through their front lines)

(As the soldier keep firing Grim disappears behind their lines)

Grim: (Walks up to a Commander of the covenant)

Grim: This is all the info that I have so far on their weapons, unit strenght and future planets that they are going to attack.

Grim: (Hands it to the commander)

Grim: I must return but I am going to set a charge over here and make sure none of the family is over there when it gose off. Also tell father and mother that I am still fighting for our race, culture and family pride.

Grim: (Runs back through the covenant lines and jumps back behind the box)

Grim: I planted a bomb and it gose off in 3...2...1... BOOM!!!!!

Grim: (Starts firing again)

Re: The Halo Rpg

Jay: "Augh! Penned down over here! They're on all sides!"

* Just then, Assault Rifle bullets spray across several grunts and a few elites, dropping them to the cold floor. A Spartan aka "Master Chief" comes through the door, and takes cover behind a turned over table. *

Jay: "Master Chief!"

* Master Chief blind fires off the top of the table and hits the remaining group of covenant - killing them all. *

Jay: "Thanks for the Support."

Master Chief: *Nods*

Cortana: (On Radio) "Marines, Captain Keye's issued to get in an escape pod, and drop to the ring below."

Jay: "Yeah, we're on our way."

Master Chief: (Walks out the door)

Wake up. You were dreaming. What's your name?

Re: The Halo Rpg

MC... such a cool name. You ever notice how they usually name all the big, tough guys John in movies a stuff? MC in Halo for example... or Arnold in Eraser. Lots more, I just can't think of 'em right now.
----------------------------------------------------

(the wounded Marine stands up, ready for more action)

Em: (walks over to Jay, watching MC disappear)
Wow... that guy seriously kicks ass.
(she pauses)
Bet it's nice to be a super soldier.

...Meanwhile...

...Covenant Capital Ship Against All Heresies, bridge...

Vali: (she crosses one arm across her chest, bowing her head slightly)

Laus: (grabs her shoulder)
It is good to see you back, Field Master...

Vali: (nods) It is good to be back, Fleet Master.

Laus: (smiles, moving away from her)
The Prophets have another mission for you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll notice Laus calls Vali "Field Master". This is acceptable since a Field Master is a Sangheili officer rank. Thus it so counts as a spec. ops. officer rank.

He proved himself numerous times in his training, attending one of the best Sangheili War Colleges.

Specialty: Trained thoroughly in all Covenant weapons and vehicles and even a few human ones; Ancient Arts training; spec. ops. training; Sangheili war training; assassination skills (natural causes); deemed worthy to wield an energy blade. Other information in N/A at the moment.

Re: The Halo Rpg

BTW Starr, a book came out that reveals the Arbitor's name (finally).

--------------------------------------------------------

Jay: (Smiles at Em) "Yeah, he's the last of his kind... the last in the Spartan Project. He's silent and speaks with action... just the kind of thing we need. Okay then, let's head to the Escape Pods-- we need to evac now!"

** Meanwhile, Thell is on a Phantom to the Halo Ring UNSC Pillar of Autumn is near. He sits in a row of seats with other Spec. Ops. Elites. **

Elite Pilot: (Radio to all Elites) "We're heading bellow to an estimated location that some of their escape pods will land. Your mission is to drop and wait for them to land near your position: simple as that."

Thell: (Looks beside him looking at his Spec. Ops. Leading officer, Pahv)

Pahv: "Ready?"

Re: The Halo Rpg

Yeah. The Cole Protocol. I got it. It's a really good book. There's a scene when he meets a Spartan (Jai). Too cool:

     He[Thel] stared at his reflection in the alien's [Jai's] visor and roared as he bent the weapon, straining to make it useless. The gold visor stared implacably back at Thel. There were no sounds, though the alien was straining just as hard.
     
What creature did not choose to show its face that wasn't a souless and dead one? Thel roared again. "Demon! Heretic. Unholy alien!" He headbutter the gold visor, snapping the human's neck back with each whiplike blow.
     
The human threw him back and yanked a primitive knife from the chest of its armor.
     
The two warriors stood, staring at each other for a spilt second. Thel suddenly realized that they would both die, fighting to the very end, equally matched.
     
Equally matched with a human. Thel spat purple blood from his mouth. This was a surprise.
     
The human looked over at the other dead marine, shook its head, and then took off down the corridor.
     
"We follow it," Thel gasped, out of breath. He'd broken a rib with that impact.
     
"What was that?" Zhar asked, cautiously pointing his plasma rifle around the croner.
     
"I do not know," Thel said. "It was strong, though." -from p. 275, The Cole Protocol.

You don't really know who he is until the end when the Prophets give him command of the Fleet of Particular Justice. They had to name him, I suppose, or everyone would get confused with the new Arbiter (Ripa 'Moramee) from HW.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Em: Well, no time for chit-chat or last-of-the-best sad stories now. Let's move your asses people! Go, go, go!

(the group of Marines heads towards the Escape pods)

...Meanwhile...

...Above Installation 04; Phantom, controls...

Elite Pilot: (comm to Thell) Field Master, we have an inbound ship from Fleet Master Du'esee.

Re: The Halo Rpg

Searching for the pods, John searched his equipment for his katana, a long-time ancient weapon on the Japanese that was almost forgotten completely. He used it a lot, taking inspiration from the samurai. He emptied himself of his heavy equipment, keeping his katana, a shotgun, and a old Colt Python .357 Magnum Revolver. He turned to his squad, figuring out a good amount on separation. "You three, stay here and guard the base. You private, this is your chance to prove yourself. Pick up that M7/Caseless Submachine Gun and we'll get access to the pods. After we clear it up, you guys you should come, as we don't want anyone else coming and taking this part of the shi"

"Yes sir!" They said in unison. The new private, Ran Monil, was handpicked by John himself to be trained on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. He retrieved the weapon, as asked, and stood ready for departure with his chest-plate hidden with ammo.

OOC: Hope I got that right. Are we supposed to go on the planet or the Halo? 'Cause I'm clueless here. Someone help!

My character apparently has a fetish for ancient weapons.
