February 15, 2554 a newly formed Insurrectionist group bombed the URNA in New York and many several other military, and government installations in search of intelligence. What they found was more than they could hope for: secret projects, armory locations, information vital to the UNSC's defense and structure. These coordinated attacks would continue as the rebels grew bolder, inspiring other Insurrection parties to back them and funnel them recruits. As one could expect the UNSC responded to the threat with the utmost force only to be thwarted on all fronts.
The new adversary have presented themselves with a surprising composition of skill and monstrous military power, holding both human and former covenant forces among their ranks. They've hacked secure channels, raided outposts and pirated UNSC vessels. The most recent and recognizable were two Halberd-class destroyers known as the UNSC David and UNSC Goliath, killing most of the crew and scavenging those who decided to defect. However in the latest attack humanity fund a name.
The Legion, a multi-species splinter group unlike anything the UNSC has ever seen. They are led by a former Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, Master Gunnery Sergeant Hunter M. Glassgo. Following the conclusion of the Human-Covenant War, Glassgo went AWOL as well as a number of soldiers under his command, to later be discovered among Insurrectionists. High Command was later informed that an assassination had been carried out, and was successful. It's only now that we discover that was false information well delivered as he's still alive and well now going by the name of Lucifer. Under his command are four enforcers, his four horsemen, Death, War, Pestilence, and Famine; who carryout his will in different sections of their operation. We've learned that they move all as one, and have taken hold on a roughly uninhabited outer colony they've, and renamed it Underworld to match their theme.
Their strength there was enough to conquer the locals and take over, enforcing their rule as absolute. Information provided by patrol ships and probes say that the area is a variety of landscapes; including deserts, taiga, and thick deciduous forests and jungles, making the place almost as diverse as Earth. Further information tells that they've started running their own personal operations on the planet such as; drug production, arms dealing, and trafficking of all kinds, and the distribution of it. In our attempts to find a way to stop them without all out war, we've allowed them to make a firm standing.
But that's where you come in...
With the the word of the highest authority, Lord Terrence Hood, we've been given permission to collect the best and brightest the new Spartan Branch has to offer; everything from the new Spartan-IVs to their veteran instructors. This mission is for only the elite, and we want nothing short. This team will be deployed to Underworld to cripple and destroy every inch of Glassgo's operation by any means necessary. The enemy has made us desperate, and we, you, will make them regret that, Spartans. We've been given complete and total leeway with no expenses. If we want it, it's ours, and it only gets better with help from our new found friends. Your intelligence and resources will operate from a Charon-class light frigate known as the UNSC Divine Intervention. On board is as many weapons and armament you'll need, as well as a full staff of crew being run by a personally selected ONI Agent "Sparrow." Anything you need, she will get for you.
The name of this event is OPERATION: Kingdom Fall. You will hit Lucifer right where it hurts. Be aggressive, be unorthodox, and above all else be lethal. This OP will pull off without a hitch or hint that we were there, because this mission doesn't exist.. And as far as your piers know for this one... neither do you.
Welcome to the Archangels.

Summary
An elite newly formed Insurrection group has quickly risen in power and aggression, directly taking fights to the UNSC in the past. Now secured and organized in a stolen country on a locally inhabited outer colony, they've been pushed to the top of the priority list. A specially composed team of Spartans has been deployed to the corrupted land to engage and destroy The Legion by any means necessary.

NPC's/People of Importance
Jura "Death" 'Rosuum
Birthplace: Sangheilios
Born: August 8, 2475
Species: Sangheili
Gender: Male
Height: 246.3 centimeters (8 ft 1 in)
Weight: 173.3 kilograms (382 lbs)
Eye Color: Translucent Blue
Jura is a former Field Marshal who's reputation proceeded him during the Battle of Harvest and the Fall of Reach. His skills as a leader and combatant proved more than useful to the Covenant, claiming hundreds of lives in control of stealth units and tactics. "The Pale Blade" his soldiers called him. Some saying he held glare just as cold as his presence on the field. Jura was an expert in stealth tactics and covert operations, often accomplishing every mission assigned in complete silence as if he weren't even there. Upon the Sangheili dividing from the Great Journey and the Covenant as a whole, Jura took whichever loyal soldiers would follow him away from the fray to lead their own life of mercenary work and piracy, occasionally running a service of assassinations. And with the fluctuating spread of power on Sangheilios, business was booming. This wouldn't last long once he'd met Glassgo, who'd quickly offer him a job as his top enforcer and leader of the Legion's Special Forces. They admired one another on a professional level. His job is to be the last thing an enemy sees, leaving as swiftly as he comes. Whatever is left from War's battlefields, Death claims them like a shadow swallows the light.There is not target that can hide from him. No adversary beyond his skill and expertise. Death comes for all in the end of all things.
Aegis "War"
Birthplace: Doisac
Born: March 9, 2456
Species: Jiralhanae
Gender: Male
Height: 276.7 centimeters (9 ft 0.9 in)
Weight: 630.2 kilograms (1,389.3 lbs)
Hair Color: Silver
Eye Color: Milk-White
Aegis is a battle born warrior through and through. A veteran warrior through many vital battles in the Human-Covenant War, Aegis carved paths in blood and broken corpses across many of the taken colonies now turned to glass. He was formerly a Brute Cheiftain before the splintering of the Covenant, but his rules were more of his own even then. When Jul 'Mdama confronted him to ask his allegiance and continue the crusade of the Great Journey he replied, "Fuck the Great Journey...!" And proceeded to slaughter any and all supporters tha would deem him a Heretic. Upon it's breaking, he quickly built his troops and killed any that defied him, gathering ships, resources, weapons, and any armament for an army and carving his name throughout his end of the galaxy. He has conquered numerous battlefields, outposts have been decimated by a single strike team under his command. When Glassgo encountered him in a ship-to-ship battle, they settled at a stalemate and brokered a partnership. Aegis now leads at the head of Glassgo's forces as War, and perfectly embodies the name. Mercy is not in his vocabulary and neither is weak, compassionate, or failure. Only the strongest survive in his armada. And if you ever show weakness, if you ever begin to doubt, or should ever fail a task he has given; you will pay with your life.
Li "Pestilence" Hoang
Birthplace: Earth
Born: 2526
Species: Human, Chinese
Gender: Female
Height: 170.2 centimeters (5 ft 7 in)
Weight: 56.7 kilograms (125 lbs)
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Dark Brown
Li has been dedicated to science and warfare since she was a young girl. Her mother was a career Chemical Engineer in the UNSC Army apart of the CBRN corps. Her father, a respected Ranger in UNSC Army, and one of the few pronounced better than an ODST. As a result of such lineage, she did not develop the proper social skills to operate later in life long term once she decided to take up in her mother's footsteps. She was detached from her emotions, seeing people not as friends or colleagues but as pending test subjects for her true passion: biochemical warfare. This part of her and science is the sole reason she was court marshaled and later dishonorably discharged for unleashing a newly created corrosive gas upon an occupied Insurrectionist outpost. Effective? You're damn right. It was so effective that anything the UNSC used to dissipate the compound, only stoked it and made it stronger, killing civilians and friendly forces within a kilometer. Instead of an expected look of horror and disgust, she sported the proudest smile on her face she'd ever had in her life. When confronted in court about it, she responded saying that greatness is not achieved without sacrifice and was sentenced to death. Before she could meet her end by injection however, Glassgo and his band of devils sprung her from prison and made her an offer she couldn't refuse: "Put your science to work for me, and I will help your research along further than you could fathom." And boy did he make it happen. Li gained access to both old and new projects that have allowed her to advance her craft. She can make Napalm burn ten times longer and hotter, to where even the ashes are scorched. She can make a grenade the melts flesh in seconds upon contact, or inhaling it. You name it and she can make it into the most twisted viral nightmare of ever conceived.
Jacob "Famine" Caradine
Birthplace: Earth
Born: 2520
Species: Human, Caucasian
Gender: Male
Height: 182 centimeters (5 ft 11 in)
Weight: 76.7 kilograms (169 lbs)
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Hazel
The UNSC Army is famous for a number of soldiers from select MOSs. Infantry, Combat Engineers, Explosive Ordinance Disposal, Artillery, Armored Infantry. But one people tend to forget about is the Cavalry Scout. The Commander's eyes and ears on the battlefield obtaining and distributing vital information and details to give any advantage above the enemy. For Staff Sergeant Jacob here, that embodied taking more than just enemy intel. He'd take anything he thought would give an advantage over the enemy; their weapons, equipment, ships, anything he could fly or drive he'd take. Eventually he'd make it more personal with each mission, taking personal belongings like: family heirlooms, food and rations, money off person... even wives and lovers. Once the brass caught a hold on his acts, he demoted and dishonorably discharged to kingdom come. It was hard finding work as a regular civilian, so he took to smuggling and trafficking on the black market. And thanks to his prior service with a few buddies that liked him, he made a killing. He could smuggle to anything from the most advanced human technology in weapons to the highest grade of Covenant weaponry. Need a drink during fireguard? How about a bit of brandy? Maybe shoot your veins with something a little more 'energizing?' Glassgo saw the potential for this and immediately recruited him for his drug trafficking. Now I bet you're wondering: "Where's he get the money for all of this? And who's he gonna be extorting to keep the flow going?" Most obviously, his soldiers. But the main body of his work is, you guessed it, the local civilian population. He rewards them for their service of course. Every now and again he gives them enough food and rations to keep things rolling for a week, then shuts it all down for the next only turning it back on if you give him something of equal value. Usually it's the rest of their food, their oldest and fittest male for his forces, or their prettiest and fittest daughter for his pleasure. His system is set up to where he will give, but you will give more, and he rakes in the result for himself. Get this guy as a wingman in a casino, you'll go home with the damn deed to the place. He's a pro swindler and has swindled the local populous out of home, money, dignity, and choice. Either they starve in defiance or they starve holding a gun in his and Lucifer's name. Damned if you do and damned if you don't, right?
Hunter M. "lucifer" Glassgo.
Birthplace: Earth
Born: January 3, 2498
Species: Human, Caucasian
Gender: Male
Height: 193.04 centimeters (6 ft 4 in)
Weight: 96.6 kilograms (213 lbs)
Hair Color: White (formerly black)
Eye Color: Dark Brown
Remember being a kid and being afraid of monsters? How you'd always clutch tight to the nearest object, afraid of the dark? It was so simple back then, because as a child you always believed monsters were under your bed. Or that they were born from darkness. Then one day mommy sat you down and told you the truth about monsters. That they aren't under your bed and they aren't born. They walk among you and they are made from those you would least expect. Hunter Glassgo represents this lesson well by simply breathing. Hunter used to be a compassionate and caring soul throughout his school career. He had his share of bullies as easily as he had his share of friends. Though as time went on, they'd all turn against him slowly. Every friend he had except knowledge and whatever power he gained with it. Fresh out of high school he enlisted into the UNSC Marine Corps and he thrived there. He was an embodiment of a symbol soldier in the Corps; an expert marksman, a genius level tactician, and would become highly decorated throughout his career. Three purple hearts, two silver stars, two medals of honor, and promotion after promotion rolled in. Glassgo would be an inspiration for soldiers for generations to come and good men alike. This would come to an end when he lost an arm to an IED during an engagement during the Harvest Conflict. The poster boy soldier ended up damaged beyond repair, or at least what the UNSC was willing to pay to fix him. They allowed him to serve the rest of his contract out in a non-combat role--a life he didn't take to well, if at all. Eventually he'd become scorned with the circumstance and went AWOL just before they could properly discharge him. Gone, tight off the face of the earth until in early 2553 where he was discovered conversing and dealing with the United Rebel Front. This led to his supposed assassination which he was designated dead... at least for a year, to which later in 2554 he planned a terrorist attack on multiple military outposts. He quickly became a raid to know among the rest and once he gathered enough recruits, and firepower, against the UNSC he'd take the fight to them at every corning he could. Anywhere there were Unite Space forces he'd raid and lay waste to them. Some places were just in UNSC guarded space and suffered the consequences. Women, children, elderly... Everything was crushed by his acts of violence as he conquered and inspired more to his regime and expanding its power. Brutes, Sangheili, war criminals, smugglers; all gathered under his roof to make a powerful operation he'd call "The Legion." His reputation of fire and brimstone led to calling himself Lucifer after the fallen angel. And with his chosen four horsemen, he brought Hell on Earth wherever he went. Now on a mostly abandoned outer colony he calls Underworld Glassgo leads his regiment of bandits with an iron fist running the black markets at the precipice. Drugs, money, weapons, ships, women? He's got it and can get it for you. His organization has snatched hold of an entire country, and will continue to grow unless we do something. And we will. The kill a snake, one must cut off the head.
Olivia "Sparrow" Green
Birthplace: Luyten
Born: March 20, 2536
Species: Human, Irish-American
Gender: Female
Height: 170 centimeters (5.6 ft)
Weight: 69.4 kilograms (153 lbs)
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Light brown
A prodigy for lack of better terms. Olivia attended Sydney University and graduated with full honors to which she later enlisted in the UNSC Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence as an Acquisitions Specialist. While she wasn't much of a fighter, he brainpower was unprecedented. Shortly with the end of the Human-Covenant War, Olivia's skills and expertise were put to extensive use in planning assassinations, gathering intelligence on new and old enemies of the UNSC, even hacking highly secured communications from both humans and Covenant. Ever wondered why you always had a feeling you were being watched in your barracks? Or for some reason it felt like someone was reading your personal journals as you wrote them in your digi-pad? It's always been her. She was the one who tracked down Hunter Glassgo and remarked him as alive and well... Then had the one who pronounced him dead fired. For every eyes and ears you'll have on the ground, she can multiply it by ten in the sky through the web. Just give her time and she'll get you anything... and anyone.
Rules:
- All Iwaku rules and regulations are applied here.
- Be respectful and considerate to others in the OOC.
- God-modding is strictly prohibited and frowned upon, just as taking control of other's characters, meta-gaming, and disobeying roleplay rules and regulations are. Doing any of these will result in an instant ban and character death.
- No one liner posts, or intermediate posting. Two paragraphs minimum per post, or more.
- Follow the posting order. It's easy for characters/players to engage with one another, and post out of control to which players lose track or lose interest. To prevent that there will be an easy posting order of one post per person per day. This is subject to change in case things begin to slow down too far, but for now is said in stone.
- I may add additional rules.
- Have fun.
Footnote:
You may have questions regarding information above, to which may be answered as we explore to world or through character development. So do not worry, but if you have any concerns feel free to ask the GM (me).

Characters:
Much like the setting, I'm giving a lot of leeway for character design. I'm allowing players to develop and create unique characters from the players creativity, making the only limit your imagination. I would stress however that your character must have extensive depth and be designed with realism in mind. I also stress not to be afraid to be different and choose a Spartan-III or Spartan-IV as a character. The RP takes place in 2554, to which any Spartan alive and well to this day have fully matured and are all powerhouses. Your character can't have all covenant weapons and gear. You're a Spartan which means realistically you'd be issued UNSC weaponry or your choice. If you have something unique, it will count as one of your loadout weapons or special equipment to keep from making your character OP. If you believe a weapon choice or curious about a gadget makes your character OP, please ask the GM. Due to the severity of the mission all Spartans will utilize state of the art GEN2 MJOLNIR Armor.
