So, first of all, I am not trying to 'steal' hell jumpers RP, militia. Please do not think that at all. This was an idea I thought of based off D-3 Boss's thread, Ground Zero (which you should read at some point)

 

So, the year is 2552, mere weeks after the destruction or Reach and the Unyielding Heirophant, a Covenant fleet of fifteen ships launched an attack on Earth. As the Prophet of Regret's assault carrier launched a full assault on the city of New Mombassa, the UNSC Home Fleet counteracted in minutes. The RP begins after the initial waves hit the city. At a certain point, the carrier will jump and the second half- the part you play in ODST will begin.

[Mr. Wolfy]

Name-  Kyro Sorottou
Rank- Command Sergeant Major

Service Tag- D381
ODST

Appearance- 6'2", long red hair, scar down the right side of his face, light blue left eye, grey right eye, UNSC cap pulled low, electronically polarizing shades

Armour- Heavy variant of ODST armor painted digital urban camo

Specialty- Expert at combat driving (not so much in civilian driving), Expert at hand to hand, Moderately good at long range sniping, Terrible at medium range, Expert at stealthy sabotage (used to be stealth and sabotage but Russians take offense Q~Q)

Kyro started off in a gang on Aszod, but was captured by law enforcement agencies and given a choice of either joining the service or several years hard labor. He chose the first and was sent to a camp on Reach to be trained. Following the desctruction of Reach, Kyro saw combat on several planets against both human and Covenant forces. He worked his way up through the ranks but was also demoted back several times. He was recalled to earth just before the covies showed up, and shipped (along with half the earth's army) to Mombassa the minute the covies began to enter the atmosphere. Arriving by drop pod, ETA 45 minutes...

[D-38 Boss]

Name- Scott Haskell
Rank- Senior Airman (Sergeant level, just in Air force terms)
Service Tag- E-24 (Eagle 2-4)
Longsword Pilot
Appearance(physical and face)- Rather average, and most would say overweight. 6 feet even, 325 pounds, with medium brown hair, and a full beard.
Armour- Flight suit.
Weapons - M6C Magnum.
Specialty - Universal Pilot. Split second reaction times, High G force tolerance.

Backstory - Nobody in Eagle has more confirmed kills than Scott Haskell, but you'd never guess it by looking at him. He tends to be extremely quiet on his own time, but behind the seat of his Longsword, he becomes a different person. Confident, Cocky, and sometimes annoying. most people overlook this, as having him on Close Air Support is like having your own personal MAC working for you.

[Is not JL]

Name: Arnold Schwarzenegger

Rank: Private 1st class

Service tag: T-800

ODST

Appearance: Really Big, buff, and from afar you would think he WAS a Spartan.

Armor: The cheapest ODST armor, some stuff he picked up off the ground

Weapons: SMG's, Pistols, Assault Rifle's, SAW's and the occasional turret. Anything that requires big and makes big.

Specialty: RAAAR DIEE PEW PEW - Wait. That bird. It's wing is broken. Quick, get the medkit!

Backstory: Named after an idol during the 20th and 21st century and also the first man who has a body mass of over 100kg's of muscle mass when at 100 years old, Arnold is an ODST who is big, buff, and loves anything that is deadly and will massacre things in one spray. Or make things go boom. However, he still has a heart of compassion, and many of his teammates think of him as 'The stereotypical massive guy who'd always carry birds with him'. It was because of this that he was demoted, after he jeopardized a mission because he had to save a teammate.

[BaconShelf]

Everyone apart from JL accepted.

[Surveillance]

Hooray! I can't wait to start!

 

 

Also Wolfy, Russians don't take offense on that topic. I wanted to no similarities with our characters, why can't you understand that?

Edited May 17, 2013 by HaloGeek

[BaconShelf]

Should we go for one more accepted or start now?

[D-38 Boss]

I'm good to go. but it's up to you.

[Surveillance]

I'll do it, I want to start!

[Sp4rkFloW]

Name : Alexander Cooper

Rank : Corpral

Tag : 453

Marine or ODST : ODST

Appearance : Brown hair, plain face and a little above the height of the average man

Armor : Basic ODST armor, his secondary armor color is orange, he has a few extra bullets strapped to his right shoulder.

Weapons : Sniper Rifle and Battle rifle.

Specialty : Expert at long ranged combat.

History : Once he heard that the war had started, he made it his life goal to do what he could to help, so he joined the UNSC and quickly was made an ODST.

[BaconShelf]

You're gonna need to expand the history a bit more.

[Is not JL]

And a personal dislike for Arnold Scharzwasengger

......So? I don't get it. You're stopping me from playing your game because you don't like Arnold?

[OrangeSpartan]

Expanded History : He grew up in a small town on the planet Harvest, he was born into the job of being a farmer, but once the War started he quickly joined the UNSC and rose to the rank of Corpral, he earned that rank in a firefight with a few other ODSTs, he put his life on the line to let the others get to the objective. He almost died that day.

[BaconShelf]

Orange- as a all round rule-don't post in RP's till you have been accepted.

 

J L- yours just seems as though it isn't even attempting to be serious

[Helljumper425]

[i guess I'll put this here for now, just in case.]

 

 

Name- Aaron Lockett
Rank- Private
Service Tag- N/A
Branch- Marine

Appearance- Male Caucasian, 5'10" medium build. Shaved head, brown eyes. Enlistment bar code tattooed on the back of his neck. No Dogtags.
Armour- Standard Issue UNSC Marine BDU with Olive Green armor. He lacks tactical goggles but his helmet is equipped with the classic CH252's holographic monocle. Aaron generally keeps his sleeves rolled up and wears fingerless gloves. He has a combat knife attached to the pauldron on his upper left arm and an additional softcase on his left thigh for additional .30 caliber ammunition along with a rucksack. To keep himself shielded from the certain heat buildup from his weapon after extended firing, or even from close impact plasma shots, Aaron wears an olive green shemagh as a half face mask.

Weapons- Primary .30 caliber Light Machine Gun with neither an ammo reader nor an optical sight--Aaron feels that either is useless, reasoning that the magazine is deep enough not to worry about reloading and that its inaccuracy won't be fixed by "slapping more weight on the top." His secondary is a standard issue M6G Magnum.

 

Specialty-  Assaultman. Lockett's experience with the Light Machine Gun variants is extensive to say the least. He's also got street smarts, which were usually Aaron's thing back home. In an environment like New Mombasa he wouldn't be quick to find a lingering feeling of doubt in a military situation. The Assaultman MOS also covered certain explosive techniques, primarily C7 and shaped C12 charges, meant more for breaching than the heavy duty reconstruction methods.

 

History/backstory- Aaron grew up on Earth in Old Chicago before shipping off to Mars to work while finishing his last two years in general education. Once completed, he moved on to enlist into UNSC Marines, having nowhere left to go. After being placed on deployment on Reach, a rather black chapter in his military service career, he managed to keep alive with his platoon by outsmarting Covenant movements through the urban centers until they arrived at a feasable evacuation. After that, he was placed on Earth defense, where he applied for Marine Force Recon, seeing as the ODST program simply wasn't something he believed he had time for.

[BaconShelf]

Wow. Very, very good. Accepted!

[Sp4rkFloW]

((Sorry to intrude, but @Helljumper that was one of the best signups that I have ever had the pleasure to read. Ahem...hem.....you think you could teach me?))

[BaconShelf]

You dong need to bracket in this topic, OOC stands for out of character- this is primarily to talk about things which are not the RP itself

[D-38 Boss]

Sparkflow, just go for it. You're obviously a good writer, Making a character is the easiest part.
