Disclaimer, nothing in this RP is Canon at all. it never has been nor will it ever be. the Universe guardians has set in motion is the Easiest to work with in terms of Enemies and it is easier for people new to halo to understand

HALO:RECOVERY ONE

This RP does take place after the events of Halo 5: Guardians. If you have not finished the game or played it yet (Seriously its been a while since it came out) here is brief synopsis of what happened so you are upto speed for this RP. (the synopsis is from wikipedia)

Synopsis of Guardians

Fireteam Osiris is deployed to the Covenant-controlled planet of Kamchatka to extract the rogue Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, who claims to have information on a series of devastating attacks on several human worlds, during a battle between Covenant forces and the Prometheans. While the team is successful in retrieving Halsey and eliminating the Covenant leader Jul 'Mdama, Halsey informs them that a new threat is about to emerge.

Elsewhere, the Master Chief leads Blue Team on a mission to secure a derelict ONI research station known as Argent Moon. However, while advancing through the station, a Covenant fleet arrives, forcing Blue Team to scuttle the station instead. During the sabotage, the Chief receives a cryptic message from Cortana, directing him to the planet Meridian. John is ordered to return to Infinity upon destroying Argent Moon, but he and Blue Team disobey orders and set out after Cortana, forcing Captain Lasky to list the rogue Spartans as AWOL. This causes consternation aboard the Infinity, as Halsey believes that Cortana's survival through the use of Forerunner technology makes her unpredictable and untrustworthy.

Lasky gives Fireteam Osiris the objective of finding and capturing Blue Team. Osiris is deployed to Meridian in order to pursue Blue Team, where they find a human colony under attack by Promethean forces. During their pursuit, they encounter the Warden Eternal, a Promethean serving as Cortana's enforcer. After temporarily defeating the Warden, Osiris catches up to Blue Team, ordering them to stand down and return to Infinity. Blue Team, instead, board one of the eponymous Guardians: large Forerunner constructs capable of devastating colonies. Osiris themselves barely escape the colony's collapse as the Guardian activates and disappears. The Guardian emerges on the Forerunner planet Genesis, where John and Cortana reunite. Cortana says her rampancy was cured by the same Forerunner technology that saved her.

Osiris is deployed to the Sangheili homeworld of Sanghelios, where they plan to use a dormant Guardian resides there to travel to Blue Team's location. However, the planet is engulfed in civil war; the remaining forces of the Covenant have chosen to make their last stand there. To expedite their mission, Osiris joins forces with the Arbiter and help him strike a crucial blow at the Covenant remnant. The Arbiter secures victory for his forces while Osiris successfully boards a Guardian with the help of Commander Palmer.

On Genesis Osiris encounters the planet's caretaker, the artificial intelligence 031 Exuberant Witness, who allies with them to stop Cortana. Osiris catches up to Blue Team, who reveal Cortana is planning on using the Guardians to achieve galactic peace through forcible disarmament. Master Chief, aware of the massive devastation Cortana's plan will cause, attempts to convince Cortana to stand down. She refuses and confines Blue Team in a Forerunner prison, to prevent them from interfering with her plan. Osiris manages to transfer control of Genesis back to Exuberant, who wrests the prison from Cortana as she leaves the planet via a Guardian.

Artificial intelligences across the galaxy begin swearing allegiance to Cortana and her plans. Cortana locates Infinity and prepares to disable it, but Lasky has the ship's AI Roland, who is still loyal to Infinity, engage slipspace away from Earth and commit to random jumps until they can develop a way to combat Cortana. With Blue Team recovered, Osiris returns to Sanghelios to reunite the SPARTAN-IIs with an injured Commander Palmer, The Arbiter, and Dr. Halsey.

Right now we've got that out of the way. Onto the RP.

The Story and where you'll start

So, the story. this is what your all here for. You character will start onboard the UNSC Infinity, that has just come out of slipspace near an outer colony world. Captain Lasky has received orders from UNSC command to send all available fireteams out to reclaim Spartan armour from dead spartans so that it does not fall into the hands of the Covenant Remnants, Cortanas AIs and the Prometheans and Any Insurrectionists that have taken the chance now that the UNSC is vastly without its AIs. UNSC command has given permission to Destroy the Armour should it become impossible to recover. Captain Lasky has also had word from ONI that there are Promethean artifacts that must be recovered at all costs otherwise they could be weaponised by the enemy. Your Fireteam will be known as Quantum. Due to the fact that you are issued with two missions, you have the choice which mission the Fireteam will take, but be aware that missions that are not taken will result in a consequence later. After each mission an After Action Report will be placed in the OOC which will display what your team recovered and what asset you have acquired because of this. Aswell as this there will be postings of what has happened for other NPC fireteams that might affect your team.

So, i hear you ask how will this all work. Well, i have a list in a document of possible events that may happen due to the fireteam not taking a mission. there are different events for the different mission providers ONI and the UNSC. If you pick a UNSC mission i will have a random number generator pick a number and that event on the list will happen and be mentioned in the after action report. this is also the same for the other fireteams mission success or failure, it will be picked by RNG. For example of this, in the After action report after doing an ONI mission you will receive words from your scouts that the Insurrectionist forces have acquired the Spartan armour and are now using it on the Battlefield. The next UNSC mission will require you to find these troops and destroy them and the base they are manufacturing them in.

Woohoo! Making CS now

Appearance:
Armour:

Out of Armour:

Name: "Bear" Arthur Jones. A-268

Age: 28

Weapons: Advanced SAW with lower fire rate but projectiles have a proximity-fused high explosive warhead. Commonly known as "The Answer". Custom Paintjob. Secondary weapon is a Sentinel class DMR with sentinel sight and silencer. Also carries a combat knife for CQB and stealth skills.

Spartan Armour Ability: Dome shield- deployable kit that projects a bubble shield, able to withstand a large amount of damage but isn't mobile.

Bio: Arthur Jones, aka the "Bear", is a strong, capable soldier of war, perhaps one of the physically strongest Spartans out there without using any boosters. The Bear used to be a mercenary, shooting for the highest bidder and asking questions later. He was captured by UNSC forces at 17 after a mission gone wrong, and his contractor hired him to steal from a UNSC supply depot. He was caught carrying out ammo cache's with one of his cohorts. After being arrested, the Bear was kept for a year before a deal was struck. Volunteer for the Spartan Programme or be sentenced to death for crimes against the UNSC and carrying out mercenary military contracts. The choice was obvious.

Arthur accelerated at all physical exercises, especially strength focused ones. As boots on the grounds go, Arthur was one of the best. However, his reckless behaviour from being a mercenary carried through, and in simulations, heading straight first into danger was his only plan of attack, much like an ODST drop pod. Sooner or later, the idea of stealth and tactics (as well as a respect for authority) was hammered into him, and through that, he got pretty handy with a combat knife. He also became extremely proficient in heavy weaponry, learning the ins and outs of weapons like Spartan Lasers, chainguns, Hydra Lauchers, Railguns and his favourite, the SAW. The Bear is a true soldier, and is loyal too. He seems to understand the UNSC's purpose and started to come around to the cause. After five years, he truly devoted himself to the UNSC and now calls his mercenary work as "sinful" due to how his and other's mercenary work was detrimental to UNSC's progress.

The Bear is now a true Spartan, and his recklessness only ever comes to play when his teammates are in danger. He will follow orders with maximum efficiency and brutality. When you need siege, demolition and pure strength to punch through, the Bear is your call.

Charlotte Boyd

Appearance:

In Armor:


Out of Armor:


Name: Charlotte Boyd. P99

Age: 26

Weapons: Her primary is the Battle Rifle for mid ranged firefights and secondary is the Shotgun it has come in handy but only in messy situations.

Spartan Armor Ability: Regeneration Field: Allows users to release a short-range energy field that heals any nearby Spartans.

Bio: Charlotte was born on earth in a small town, it was common for all of the males in her family to serve in the military. She was the only girl in her family of 6 children but that did not stop her from joining with her brothers as soon as she got the chance. During her recruitment, she seemed just like any other UNSC solider and it was not until her first official mission that she stood out as a possible Spartan.

It was a simple recon mission gone awry when she and 3 other UNSC soldiers found themselves surrounded by Covenant. It was a large firefight but somehow all 4 soldiers made it out alive, they claimed it was due to Charlotte’s fast thinking and surprising strategic rebuttal to the original surprise attack. They were able to wipe out the Convents guard squad while completely unprepared for conflict and only minor injuries. The story started to spread of the girl of UNSC that put her neck on the line for her fellow soldiers.

She was then booted up to the Spartan Program once her story spread, though she might not be the strongest or the smartest Spartan she has the heart of a true Spartan. She is immature and a little hard to handle but she follows orders well and keeps with the group as well as she can. Charlotte is a team player and would not make it on her own, she is proficient with mid-range light weapons and prefers to stay out of CQB if at all possible.

Is this alright??

Spartan Farraday

Images

Name: Edward “Ed” Farraday, E-311
Age: 29
Weapons:

• BR85N: A variant of the standard BR85 Service Rifle, the BR85N sees a slight increase in accuracy and a replacement of the hard scope with a reflex sight. It performs much better in close-to-medium range combat than its standard version, but is also less accurate at longer ranges.
• M6C SOCOM: A silenced version of the M6C pistol, it sees wide use among ODST’s. This particular unit is unique in that it has been upscaled for use by a Spartan. On one side of the weapon, the word “Equalizer” has been crudely carved into it. On the other, a mathematical “equal sign” has been painted in blue. ”Covie, human, rich, poor, weak, strong, it doesn’t matter. They’re all equally fucked when they’re looking down the barrel of a gun.”

Spartan Armour Ability: Hologram
Bio: Edward was born into a Military family. Born on Edridanus II (though, after Eridanus II was glassed, he moved to Ballast, where he grew up), his grandfather was one of Robert Watts’ rebels (though, when it became clear that Watts was going to lose, he switched sides to the CMA before it was disbanded) and his father was an Ensign serving under Admiral Cole, and who was presumed to have died along with him. As he grew up, he saw his older brothers one by one join the UNSC. Despite having stellar grades in high school, and a future in medicine, it was almost expected of him to enlist at 18. So, he did.

He was a marine for some time, and served in six different combat operations before being given the option to join the ODST’s. He did so, and passed through training at a blinding pace. His first drop went exceedingly well. His second drop, though, was a disaster. His pod was heavily damaged by covenant anti-air fire, and he crashed into a large body of water. He was found after the battle, mangled and damn-near dead. His comrades were going to leave him behind, as was the custom, but an ONI officer among them saw an ideal candidate for the Spartan Program.

He brought to Earth and saved with experimental medical techniques. In return for this, it was made clear that he was to undergo augmentation and become a Spartan. He did so, knowing full well he didn’t have a choice. By the time he had healed and finished his training/augmentation, the Human-Covenant War was over, and he was assigned to the Infinity. He’s served in a few combat operations since then, but has only recently gotten assigned to full active duty.

Other: Though he lived on Eridanus II for less than a year, and hasn’t stepped foot there since it was reclaimed, he still considers it him home planet and has immense pride in his Outer-Colony heritage.

Milo "Music" Cash

Appearance:

(went back and painted over it in black (primary) and brick (secondary)

Name: Milo Cash
Age: 22
Weapons: 2 M7/Caseless Submachine Guns, M6H2 Personal Defense Weapon System, Sticky Detonator, Mechanics Kit
Spartan Armour Ability: Invisibility - purely invisible if not moving, any motion and it becomes less effective, drains very quickly, effective for 30 seconds, unless another power source is found.

Bio: Milo was one of the last people you would expect to wind up in a combat unit. While in school he was a "punk thug" slinging grass around the streets and defacing the school and doing major graffiti works all around the city. Even played in a band "Sanghelios" but those days changed. He was accepted to university but that didn't last long because he kept up all his habits, lazy days in school, sleepless nights "working", grades were terrible, danger of flunking out, but his scores on the ASVAB and in engineering were beyond belief. ONI took notice, and when you're offered an easy job with lots of money you don't turn it down. The story of a punk becoming an agent

His job was working on new armour, processing and redefining what we had to fight with. One day though a set of armour came through the shop that Milo couldn't let go of constantly refereed to as the SHINOBI Armour set. After Milo did most of the work to allow Spartan 4 neural access to it, he demanded ONI allow him to be its user. Allowing ONI to track it and see more of it, while allowing him to use it as needed. The battle lasted until finally ONI agreed, he's under strict watch and can't speak of the armours origin. But its his now, so who cares?

Other: Often can be found writing music and playing his guitar when not playing with machines. Absolutely hates being a mechanic, often seen smoking American Spirit Blacks

CONFIDENTIAL - PROFILE OF SERGEANT PATRICK BYRNE H-212

//ACCESSING PROFILE: SERGEANT PARTICK BYRNE H-212//
//ERROR – WRONG USER CREDENTIALS//
//OVERRIDE CODE: STARBREEZER//
//OVERRIDE CODE ACCEPTED//
//ACCESS GRANTED//

NAME:
Sgt. Patrick "Paddy" Byrne H-212

AGE:
34

RANK:
Sergeant

PREFERRED ARMAMENTS:
-Suppressed M395 DMR, Sentinel variant.
-M6H Magnum
-Combat knife

ARMOR ABILITIES:
Active Camouflage – At this point, a near-ancient technology that has proven too useful to do away with. The variant Patrick has acquired tends to function better than standard versions at sprinting speed, and functions for a noticeably longer period.

MILITARY HISTORY:
Sergeant Patrick Byrne signed onto the UNSC at age eighteen for reasons he was very hesitant to disclose. He seemed to struggle early in training, though the matter sorted itself out within weeks. Post-training, he signed with the 105th Shock Troops Division and was assigned to the UNSC In Amber Clad. He survived both the Battle of Earth and the Battle of Installation 05, and received a Medal of Honor for actions that involved the rescue of his entire squadron from a Covenant battalion. He was recommended for the Spartan-IV program and accepted. He was recently assigned to the UNSC Infinity for a series of classified missions.

PSYCH PROFILE:
Sgt. Byrne is an unorthodox, loose cannon and is known to make judgement calls that put him at serious risk to protect his squadron. He is, however, extremely loyal his fire team and squadron, and has put his life down for them on several occasions. He has stated that he hopes to one day settle down and start a family, though the very nature of being a Spartan makes this highly unlikely.

OTHER:
-Unwilling to discuss matters involving family members. Close observation is advised.
-Particularly skilled in espionage and infiltration operations.
-Strangely focused on a life after the war. Highly unusual for those in the Spartan programs.
-Defied orders on multiple occasions to assist fellow soldiers. Judgement calls should not be questioned unless another is put at risk.

I really didn't wanna swap out my armor to the Recluse set so I just used the concept art don't hurt me pls

Spartan Reinhardt

Appearance:

Armor

Organic Bits

Name: Michael Reinhardt

Age: 35

Weapons:
Customized SRS99-S5 AM Sniper Rifle A.K.A Hammer of Dawn: Powerful but far from quiet, the Hammer of Dawn can punch through just about any vehicle under and over the Sun.
Standard issue M20/Personal Defense Weapon
M11 Combat Knife

Spartan Armour Ability: Jet Pack

Bio: Michael's life is fairly average for your common Spartan. He grew up during the Covenant war, joining the UNSC Marine Corp. as soon as he was eligible to and was shipped to the front line soon after boot camp. It is here that Michael made a name for himself as a soldier, consistency going above and beyond the call of duty before volunteering for the ODST program several years later. During his training Michael discovered his fondness for high powered rifles, something his superiors picked up on and began the process of specializing him in the use of. Before he knew it, he was deployed. For nearly a decade Michael stayed in the ODST, cultivating a name for himself as a reliable soldier and crackshot on multiple occasions until he was approached as a possible candidate for the Spartan VI program.

Other:
Only a small handful of people can say they are a better shot than Michael.
Besides down range, Michael is an adept behind the wheel and in the cockpit of neatly every vehicle.
