Biography: Kessler is a non-commissioned officer to a fire-team sized unit of UNSC Special Warfare Command Group 7.

He was originally an ODST to the Twenty-Second Tactical subdivision of the 105th. His misconduct, which involved serious injury to a slew of superior officers, had him court-martialed, suspending Nathan from his assignment on board the Pillar of Autumn of 2552. Despite a checkered file, riddled with disobedience and mischief, Kessler has had consistent stellar performance reviews as a soldier - specifically as a facilitator in smaller, squad-based units. The higher ups decided to rotate him into one of their more classified programs, supervised by UNSC SPECWAR under command of Colonel Gennady Provodnikov of the UNSC Army.

Referred to as Dagger Team, they are composed of flunkies from Spartan and ODST platoons and trainee programs, mainly due to severe charges of misconduct (similar to, or in some cases more extreme than, Kessler's situation). Because of this, Dagger Team is often coined as The Devil's Rejects, or simply called Devils, for their take-no-shit attitude and fearless execution in battle. They are savants at extreme unconventional warfare, and are usually attached to dangerous operations with low survivability outcomes. So far, luck has been on Dagger Team's side. Time and time again, the unit has narrowly escaped death by the skin of their teeth - mainly due to the quick resolve and leadership of Sgt. Elijah Valuev and 2nd-in-command, Cpl. Nathan Kessler.

Miscellaneous: Dagger Team's insignia adds onto the traditional spread-winged Eagle, custom to have a bat's wings with horns on its head and a devil tail, while a dagger is stitched in red behind it; blade pointing downward.

Hnng, so confusing learning all those new weapons. While I like NEW WEAPONS, ees too meny vepons.
I also feel as if would be better if we were all apart of the same team, I don't think people will want to be covie or flood if a majority of the people will be UNSC.

That's still up in the air. As of right now, I'm allowing Sangheili who are both for, against, and neutral towards the UNSC, but if the majority (or entirety) of our players are going to be affiliated in some way with the humies... I'll devise a story a bit more focused on their involvement.

As for Skull, your character sheet looks pretty good. Keep in mind your height - SPARTANs are augmented to be anywhere from two to five inches beyond their original height, and the MJOLNIR armour boosts their height even further by another two to four inches (the exact figure isn't known, IIRC).

Lighten down on your load, as well. You're set to carry a shotgun, a precision rifle, and a grenade launcher, all at the same time. Something I didn't elaborate on (which reminded me to go edit the OP) is that the grenades for the grenade launcher are toggled independently. You don't have to stock 'EMP grenades' because all grenade munitions for the TK427 are able to be electromagnetically charged or tempered with napalm. Another thing to note about this launcher is that you can use standard-issue frags as ammo for the weapon.

/e (didn't see that the Esquire had edited his post; next time, tell me, Sherlock)

Right now, your equipment section looks decent. Consider lightening the amount of grenades and flashbangs you have if you're going to carry both. I'd say, max, 3 of each, although realistically the number might be 2 of each. Let me know when you've finalised more/all of the information.

[Skull]

lol fuck I knew I overstocked him. Alright, I just took the launcher out. And Kessler isn't a spartan.

[Pr0nogo]

Then he was definitely overstocked.

[Skull]

no shit lol

[Pr0nogo]

In the process of writing up the OP of the IC thread, so you can consider this a bump for interest.

I'll be expanding upon updated UNSC vessels - as in, frigates, carriers, cruisers, etc. Look for that soon.

[Caelum]

I'm still in this, just so you know :x

Migrate your sheet over here.

Name: Joshua Jason Brown (Josh-247)
Appearance: A white male in his late thirties, Josh sports a buzz cut and three missing teeth. When his body can be seen, its buffed and large from the minor augmentation done to him during his time in training. His eyes are brown, and whats left of his hair is a dark black. With a strong Mexican background, his Spanish decadency can be seen clearly on his face and body.

However, his full appearance is rarely seen under his suit. Wearing the basic MJOLNIR GEN2 armor, not much can be seen of him. Colored a deep navy blue, his armor has a painted spot on the side, marked in red with yellow stripes. A few dents and scratches can be seen on the suit, from the major use it had been put through during training and the few missions he had been sent on.

(Hm... I feel like, this is short... But I don't really know what else to put... There is not much to be said on his appearance.)
Age:32
Rank: Petty Officer 2nd Class
Affiliation: UNSC
Equipment: It highly depends on the situation, however, he does always wear the MJOLNIR GEN2 armor during any operation. He prefers his MAD7 over other weapons, though his load out will change from time to time. He never carries more then three weapons on him.
Biography: Oh boy...

Joshua Brown was born to a very rich family in 2540. Josh enjoyed his life in one of the larger cities on Troy. He grew up independent from his parents, as they were heavily involved with work at the time. He spent a lot of his time with his butler, Rodgers, playing games and generally blowing through his parents money. He told him all of his secrets, all of his thoughts. Rodgers was like a brother to Joshua, and even though Joshua's parents had told him to, Rodgers did not do as he was told; He never attempted to teach Josh to cook, because he knew well that he would not be very good at it. It just wasn't in his blood. Up until 2552, when the Covenant came to Troy, they lived a very, very good life. He escaped before the Covenant glassed the planet, but at a heavy price; Rodgers was unable to go with him, and supposedly died in the glassing. Joshua, however, constantly denied these even after the fact, clinging onto lost hopes that his childhood friend was still alive somewhere.

This new found inspiration sparked his interest in the UNSC, and he quickly enlisted as a marine, hoping to protect earth from the remaining covenant. Although he was not the greatest of soldiers at first, eventually, through many skirmishes and meet ups with the enemy, he found himself quickly becoming a very skilled soldier, which was one of the reasons he was chosen to opt for the SPARTAN IV program after the war. Once accepted, he now found himself doing things he never thought possible, in places he never knew existed. But somewhere, deep in his heart, he still hopes that he can find his childhood friend, Rodgers.


Miscellaneous: Hates card games and gambling, he always had terrible luck with them. He also dislikes culinary of all kinds- His parents really really wanted him to be a chef before the war. He likes sports, and is a great shot with a rifle, as to be expected. His highlight is his speed, he is a runner at heart from his time spent on the fields of Troy and as so can move great distances quickly.
