Hey, there! These are the sign-ups and the OOC discussion for the Halo: Project Kindred roleplay, so feel free to look around. I've got pretty decent knowledge about the Halo universe, but it's not a requirement for YOU to be very well versed with everything there is to know about the lore, as long as you played at least one game/get the gist of it all then that's fine. Please keep in mind that this takes place about simultaneously as the first game/The Flood book. I'm looking for up to three ODSTs. You may have more than one character, but only one Spartan and are limited to 2-3 people in total. Keep in mind, death is possible - after all, not even Spartans are invincible! Romance is allowed, but if it gets to be sexual move it to PMs please!
I also may use another of my Spartans if we NEED one/two more, though I'd prefer not to if at all possible. Please read the information below! (I've highlighted some important things in teal for ya)

Any questions are welcome and I'll answer them to the best of my abilities! Though I do have some general rules that I'd like you to follow, those of which you can read right in the handy dandy spoiler here~
1) NO GODMODDING AND TRYING TO MAKE YOUR CHARACTER INVINCIBLE, EVEN SPARTANS DIE.

2) PLEASE RESPECT EVERYONE AND THEIR STYLE OF WRITING!

3) INPUT AND CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ARE WELCOME, BUT BASHING AND/OR INSULTS ARE NOT.

4) HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THE ROLEPLAY!
Both vessels:
The Rising Sun is a UNSC Destroyer-class ship complete with two MAC guns, twenty-six oversized Archer Missile pods, three Shiva-class Nuclear Missiles, and eight 50mm point-defense autocannons. It has been modified with light energy shielding and a slightly bigger bay to hold two Pelicans and a launch area outfitted with about 30 SOEIVs (drop pods for ODSTs). She also holds a 'smart' AI, by the name of Iris, to navigate and command the ship and her defenses.

The living quarters for both SPARTANs and ODSTs are quite alike, and look as pictured below:

The Reaper of Advance is a Covenant Carrier-Class ship complete with unknown outfitted plasma artillery and a strong energy shield.

My Characters:
Name: Mick-126

Nickname: His Spartans refer to him as M or just Mick.

Age: N/A

Gender: Male

Rank/Position: Leader of Echo Team

General Personality: Seen as cold and mechanical to any other military personnel besides his Spartans, Mick fits inside the common stereotype of Spartans being more machine than man-keeping his mouth shut unless he has an inquiry or is confirming something. Though for a Spartan he has quite the mouth on him, speaking out if anyone below him starts to spout anything he finds preposterous. Known for his sharp tongue and brutal honesty, Mick has stung more than a few egos in his years. He's a fair man, treating everyone with a mutual respect-though if you lose it, it's hard to reattain. He opens up quite a bit around his Spartans, however, turning from an icy dog of the military to a warm and caring man; one that prioritizes his Spartan's lives over almost anything-even orders at times.

Strengths: Quite charismatic, bold, and tough-minded, Mick makes for a good leader and an even greater man. He always exercises great caution during missions to ensure the safety of his teammates, constantly keeping a back-up plan in the back of his mind in the event things went awry.

Weaknesses/Fears: Mick values the lives of his fellow Spartans above anything, so much so that it could become a liability or jeopardize the mission at hand.

Appearance: His eyes are a brilliantly clear sapphire that allow him to see almost perfectly in the dark, courtesy of the many augmentations he's endured.
A dark chestnut, his hair is close cut but not shaven completely. Like every Spartan, he's ghastly pale from the lack of sunlight due to being encased in his MJOLNIR
armor for such extended periods of time.
He stands at 214 cm without armor and 224 cm with armor, weighing in at 127.5 kg without armor and 447.5 kg with armor respectively.
He has a strong, sculpted jaw that looks as if it can cut stone. He also possesses a long thin silvery scar across the base of his neck, beside his left collarbone.

latest

Weaponry/Arsenal: Carries a BR55HB SR (battle rifle) at all times, along with an MA5B assault rifle, three fragmentation grenades, a M6D magnum sidearm, and a combat knife. Can also work most Covenant weaponry.
Name: Viktor O'Brian

Nickname: Often called Vik by his men.

Age: 45

Gender: Male

Rank/Position: ODST Sergeant

General Personality: Viktor is quite the austere man, following orders and keeping his men in line with clean precision and authority. Though his men often say he needs to 'loosen up', Viktor refuses to rest until every 'Covie bastard' is 'put down like the dogs they are', as he so lovingly phrases it. He rarely cracks a smile and has been known to have a biased view on the SPARTAN-II's, often regarding them with disgust and treating them like worms whenever he is forced to interact with them. He also ironically treats his men with the utmost respect and care, the polar opposite of how he treats the Spartans.

Strengths: Undeterred by anything, Viktor is never taken off guard by a situation and always has a clear minded approach to almost any occurrence. His sharp mind and honed instincts keep him and his soldiers from walking into disaster, his tactics outshining even the Covenant's most erratic and intelligent maneuvers.

Weaknesses/Fears: Viktor has a problem with his left leg, having had multiple surgeries on it after the back of it had been mauled by a frag grenade. He can get a mild limp because of his leg, but it rarely interferes with his duties.
He hates the idea of burning to a crisp on a planet being glassed by the Covenant.

Appearance: He has muddy hazel eyes, tanned worn skin, a clean buzz cut, and a fit physique, making him look younger than he is; though, his eyebrows give some of his age away with their silver tint. He stands at six feet even and weighs in at two hundred and two pounds.

latest


Weaponry/Arsenal: Wears the standard ODST ballistic battle armor and carries a M7S caseless submachine gun, combat knife, three fragmentation grenades, and M6D magnum sidearm at all times.
Name: Jackson Way

Nickname: Teasingly called Jacky-boy by his fellow ODSTs.

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Rank/Position: ODST Private

General Personality: Jackson is a very cheerful and optimistic man, often socializing with anyone and everyone he can. He's quite outgoing and, though he may not seem it, very bright and tactful. He has no certain view on the SPARTAN-II's, if anything he admires and looks up to them for their many campaigns and unrivaled bravery.

Strengths: No matter how hopeless or unrelenting a situation may be or seem, Jackson never gives up and continues to fight until there's nothing of him left. He also has a very strong will and doesn't snap under any kind of pressure.

Weaknesses/Fears: He despises the thought of dying in space, strangled by the lack of oxygen and floating aimlessly among the inky blackness.

Appearance: Jackson is adorned with vibrant green eyes, a light stuble, plush messy copper hair, a full face, and a slightly lanky physique. He still clearly looks young and, like his eyes, very green in the ODST positioning. He stands at five feet nine inches and weighs in at one hundred and seventy pounds, his muscle not as apparent as most, though still there.

Weaponry/Arsenal: Wears the standard ODST ballistic battle armor and carries a M7S caseless submachine gun, combat knife, three fragmentation grenades, and M6D magnum sidearm at all times.
And now, a brief summary of the roleplay!

It is August 1st of 2552 and the UNSC Destroyer Rising Sun is fleeing the battle above the planet Reach, on orders to preserve the AI Kindred--a construct known as Halsey's 'second' copy of Cortana.

Aboard the Rising Sun resides a team of six SPARTAN-IIs known as Echo Team, and about two dozen battle hardened ODSTs.
The ship itself is commanded by Captain Geralt Finnick, a prestigious man renowned for his Keyes-like maneuvers and quick thinking. Echo Team's main objective is to keep a highly crucial AI from getting into Covenant hands no matter the cost--the orders are absolute.
The ship had made the jump at 0100 hours toward a random vector as per the Cole Protocol.

However, the Rising Sun hadn't slipped out of the Epsilon Eridani system unnoticed.

A Covenant Carrier--Reaper of Advance--had caught them on their radar and now the ship, commanded by an overzealous sangheili, chases after them. Unbeknownst to the humans aboard the Rising Sun, they are headed straight to an only newly Covenant-discovered Forerunner installation that harbors only the unknown.

So, I ask you now Spartan/soldier--are you brave enough to face the unknown?

Sweet, this looks like it could be fun. I think I have an idea for a spartan should there still be some room for one ^u^

(I have a character sheet in the works should anyone want a look)
There is indeed room! Can you put up your Spartan here if possible. :)
 
Also will the ODST and the Spartans be in the same group on the same place? or no`?
Yes, they're all part of the same mission, though their orders may differ at times and they may split up at times.
 
Name: Spartan-163: Morgan (potentially integrated in from class II?)

Nickname: Morgan

Age: ??

Gender: Androgynous presenting (they/them/theirs pronouns)

Rank/Position: Lootenant; Designated CQC & Infiltration

General Personality: Morgan was "gifted" with careless devil may care attitude and a love for taking risks when granted the chance of great reward. They probably come off as a bit of an idiot, despite this they actually are a fairly philosophical thinker. When on their down time it is likely you'll see them reading books on all manner of ideologies, absurdism in particular (that or a william gibson novel). If you were in a conversation with them, you would probably forget they are even a spartan due to their carefree, sometimes silly attitude. They treat everyone almost as if their a longtime friend, whether or not that's the case. They honestly wants what's best for everyone in the crew, and will go out of their way to help everyone out where they can.

Strengths: Morgan has an uncanny way of surviving things they really shouldn't. Excels in close quarters combat and the use of improvised weapons, as well as field craft.

Weaknesses/Fears: Reckless verging on suicidal and has a tendency to take orders more as suggestions than they should. Also can rush into things, impatience taking the better of them.

Appearance: Hair is dark brown, practically black. Pale skin, smooth and fresh as a babies bum. Green eyes, with hints of brown. Youthful appearance, looking like they could be in their teens. Androgynous features free of facial hair.
They stand above 2 ⅓ meters tall in their armor.
Morgan is tall and wiry. If it wasn't for the build up of dense musculature, they would be easily described as willowy.
View attachment 136244 View attachment 136245
Equipment: Carries two M7/Caseless Submachine Guns, a M6C pistol for a sidearm, a combat knife or two, and a machete. Morgan is armored in a suit of black Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor/R variant accented with yellow.
 
I posted it earlier. I can delete this re-post if you like.

Oh shoot, I didn't see it earlier my bad >~< But I like them! We just need a couple more, but I can start working on the IC thread now!
 
Name: Max Taylor

Nickname: Maxi

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Rank/Position: ODST Corporal/sniper

General Personality: Due to Max's experiences in the war as a sniper she has become rather distant and cool to people, she rarely speaks and walks without making much noise either giving testament to her ability. Max is very short but it has only made her work twice as hard, though she is a bit sensitive about her height. More then a few marines have found that out at the end of her fists, metal lunch trays and even a pencil put into a man's boot. She is also known to speak out of line when orders are given that may lead to unnecessary deaths in the field.

Strengths: Quiet, expert markswoman, scrappy, compassionate and caring.

Weaknesses/Fears: Max will rather save people before the mission. Max is a bit headstrong and puts herself in unnecessary danger by trying to take on larger covenant members to try and prove something. She has a fear of cryosleep after being but in for an extended amount of tine after being wounded in combat

Appearance: Max is rather short by most standards, just making the minimum height to be an ODST. She is built well for her size though giving her tone and definition expected from any ODST. Her hair is of a medium length and is held up in a bun when her helmet is on, her hair is also a dark shade of black and almost seems to absorb the light around her. Her smile melts hearts and breaks them at the same time as her electric blue eyes pierce into your soul. her full Hight is 5'2.

Max is Equipped with the standard armor of the ODSTs though her right shoulder has been painted red with a small rose on the lower portion of it.

Reactions: Quail
Name: Sara-115

Nickname: Does not have one yet.

Age: N/A

Gender: Female

Rank: Petty Officer First Class

Position:
anti vehicle specialist

General Personality: Sara is a war weary spartan just like her brothers and sisters, she's fought in a innumerable amount of missions to the point she can't even remember how many, it's just one big blur to her. She is cold to most even to her fellow spartans at times but she is willing to save the common solider she fights with but the mission will always come first even if others and herself must die to complete it. She also has a tendency to ruthlessly destroy any and all covenant forces in battle.

Strengths: Sara is a talented Anti Vehicle specialist being noted for her precision with her spartan laser, she is also known for her ruthless aggression against covenant forces having come back from more then one mission after wiping out all covenant forces in the area even when it was not required from her mission. Sara is also known for her rather high mental fortitude and ability to block out outside factors to her mission which is noted among Spartans but Sara stands out and Finally her high pain tolerance is of note, during augmentation procedures she did not once cry out in pain nor did she make and complaint when on once of her first mission's against covenant forces a Elite's plasma bolt melted some of her armor to her skin which had to be removed by cutting away the skin in the field.

Weaknesses/Fears: Though for a spartan Sara has fears, she fears loosing Halsey as she like many of the other spartans look to her as a mother figure of sorts. She is also afraid of failing the mission, maybe she fears to disappoint both her fellow spartans and Halsey but she has to balance that with her fear of becoming more machine then human. Sara has no illusions as to what she is but she knows she can be more, her fear is that she will just become another tool for war when this one ends.

43e736fcb050d5934adafd6e314778ab.jpg

Appearance: Sara stands at 6'6" without her armor on and with it on reaches just below 7'. Like all spartans Sara has a body of a Olympic athlete in perfect form, she keeps her hair tied into a bun but some still manages to spill out from the sides and is a plain shade of auburn. She has full lips and is rather attractive but has a rather aggressive look on her face at most times so most don't approach her though most haven't seen her without her armor on. Her eyes are sky blue and glow a bit in the dark, a product of the augmentation procedure that allows her to see in low light conditions.

Sara wears a mishmash of armor she has acquired over the years, they are all there because they best help her with her mission and have been modified to suit her needs. Her armor is a faded blue with light white accents.


Weaponry/Arsenal: MA37 ICWS also commonly named the assault rifle. Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle, known affectionately by standard grunts as the "Spartan Laser.". M45 Tactical Shotgun 8 gauge shot gun. Four M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose grenade, Frag grenades in layman's terms. M6D magnum side arm and finally a 13 inch serrated knife most commonly seen with ODST forces, nicknamed the ODST toothpick.

I'd love to be ODST. might take up one of the spots on that roster
 
Name:
Kozma Zoltan

Nickname:
none yet

Age: 35

Gender: Male

Rank/Position: Lance Corporal / Corpsman

General Personality: Although mostly quiet and to himself Kozma has shown to be an friendly enough person, listening to what people have to say and asking people how they are, though he doesn't divulge an answer to the question himself. People seem to look at him with a reasonable apprehension after being scarred by Covenant plasma fire in the battle for Aztlan in the Cassopie system, making him irritable, confrontational even, at people that stare at him from afar.

Strengths: Kozma is a compassionate Corpsman, going through anything to retrieve fallen comrades. Being a Corpsman as well, he is able to stem bleeding, stitch holes, remove needles, and apply Biofoam to open wounds. Since passing ODST training he has become very fond of the Battle Rifle, outfitting it with the custom silencer, and with that his arsenal is completely silent.

Weaknesses/Fears: Prior to his injury, Kozma was the ideal ODST trooper, but since after his wounds have left him not only physically scarred but mentally scarred, being pinned down by plasma fire makes him freeze up in battle. A more physical weakness that he does happen to have is if a plasma bolt, comes too close to his head it can short out the cybernetic eye that the UNSC had provided him, cutting his vision in half for around 30 seconds.

If we don't get anyone else, I'll see to making an ODST.
 
We have a fun little rogues gallery. Allot of strong silent types, so my Morgan is probably going to get on allot of nerves XP.

Yeah, y'know... I don't think Vance is going to like Morgan much. If at all.

What a cohesive team.

Morgan will take note of that fact, ignore it, and continue to pretend like we're all best friends ^u^ Totally cohesive.

I think that would make it pretty interesting though, not to mention Mick can easily get along with most people and can be pretty friendly. :D

That would work out pretty well, though the ODSTs aren't mandatory and I can just use fillers for them (in other words just stand ins that are rarely heard from). :)
