[hider=OOC Section Intro] Alright, so welcome to the official Out of Character discussion threat for the [b]Halo: WE ARE ODST[/b] RolePlay. Firstly, I’d like to thank you for your interest in this RolePlay. As a personal fanatic of the Halo Universe, running a Halo themed RP is something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and I’m happy that you’ll be joining me for this. For this incarnation of this RP, Nallore will be joining me as a Co-GM, helping me to run things, and serving as a partner to bounce ideas off of so that things remain fresh, exciting, and enthralling. If things run the way I think they will, then we’re all going to be having a decent amount of fun with this RP. That said, I should probably get to what you’re here for, the process of Character Creation. Now, as this RP is centered around the actions of a group of ODSTs(Orbital Drop Shock Troopers), I’d ask that for your primary character, you create an ODST. All of our ODSTs will be part of a Marine Special Operations Detachment, codenamed Ghost. We’re going to see this Detachment assigned missions across the Halo Universe, with varying objectives, but the over-arcing theme will obviously be the Human-Covenant war. I’m going to be listing all of the pre-generated characters for this RP down below, I’ll list which characters are my PC(Primary Character), and which are Nallore’s; as well as which characters are NPCs(Non-Player Characters). This will also allow you to better get an idea of where your character fits in with the rest of the other characters. And, when your character is approved, I’ll add him/her to the list to serve as a database. Editing said character is always welcome, so long as it doesn’t interfere with what has been established within the canon of our own RP. IE, if your character appears in our RP as a male, and you decide you want to change them to female, that won’t be accepted. You’ll be welcomed to kill said character off, or reassign said character if you don’t want them to die, and then create a new character to replace them within the squad. Firstly though, I’ll show you the kind of information you will need for your character to be accepted as a member of the Detachment. [/hider] [hider=Character Creation Process] [b]BEGINING OF CHARACTER CREATION SHEET[/b] Portrait Image: (For this I’d ask that you please select some form of celebrity to portray your character, as I require a photo-realistic representation of your character, and generally speaking celebrities are the most likely to have a wide variety of images. Actors, Actresses, Musicians, Athletes; all good. If you have a particular image of said celebrity that you’d like to use, that’s fine also, I just ask that you send it to me, so that I can crop it to fit the uniform look of profile images.) Basic Information Name: (This is a simplified name of your character, IE what you’d like them to be generally referred to in RP) Full Name: (Pretty self explanatory, the full birth name of your character.) Gender: (Is your character a male or a female?) Date of Birth: (The date and year that your character was born. Now, keep in mind this RP takes place in 2550.) Place of Birth: (For this you might need to do a little research, or you can be creative and make up your own place of birth.) Age: (Well, if you were born in 2525, and it’s 2550, that makes you?) Height: (Feel free to post your height in either the English, or the Metric system.) Weight: (Same as above.) Hair Color: (Self explanatory.) Eye Color: (Self explanatory.) Blood Type: (Self explanatory.) Service Jacket Previous Assignment: (Where your character had served before their said current assignment. If none, then say so.) Personal Information Marital Partner: (If your character is, or was married. Then the name, age, and status of said spouse or ex.) Biological Father: (Name of your character’s father, age, and status.) Biological Mother: (Same as above, save for mother.) Biological Siblings: (If any, their name, gender, age, and status.) Biological Children: (If any, their name, gender, age, and status.) Personality: (How your character generally acts. Are they informal, or are they a hard ass? Are the polite, talkative? That kind of stuff. Feel free to write a little paragraph, or just a few words if you’d like.) Biography: (Either a simply summary, or an in depth history of your character. Could be a paragraph, could be several. It’s up to you.) Timeline of historical events (In what year was your character born? In what year did your character enlist? In what year was your character promoted? That kind of stuff. For a better idea, scroll down to see examples of other character’s timelines.) Field Equipment (For weapons, I’ll be showing the available equipment in a section down below. This will give you a better idea of what weapons make sense for your character.) Primary weapon: (Do your character use a Battle Rifle? Or an Assault Rifle? Are they a sniper, then they need a Sniper Rifle. Get it?) Secondary weapon: (Do they carry a pistol as a sidearm? Or maybe a submachine gun?) Specialized Equipment: (Are they a Demolitions guy, then do they carry explosives? Are they a spotter? Or a scout, and carry a set of advanced optics? Stuff like that. Be creative, but don’t be crazy, I’ll let you know if it flies or not.) Additional Items: (Do they carry a knife? Or some Flashbangs, or maybe some Frag Grenades? Do they have personal keepsakes they keep on them at all times?) Additional Notes (Does your character have some sort of disease? Or were they severely injured at some point in the past, and now have an artificial limb? Have they seen severe disciplinary action in the past? Were they commended by an ex CO? Again, be creative.)

[b] Biological Children: [/b] None. [b] Personality: [/b] Captain Ramsey’s confident and even toned manner has earned him the respect and loyalty of those serving under him. The southern twang of is obviously American ancestry adds to his charm, as he isn’t one to shy away from simplicity. Given his demeanor, it’s not a wonder why he is so well regarded within the UNSC Navy. [b] Biography: [/b] Captain Ramsey was born in Fort Worth, Texas on Earth. His father was an engineer, and his mother a high school teacher. He is the product of an upbringing that is more traditional, than modern. At an early age, Ramsey expressed an interest in the exploration of space, and was accepted into an early entrance program with the UNSC Navy. His career has seen service aboard all manner of UNSC space craft, as well as it’s fair share of combat with the Covenant. Though he has commanded larger ships in the past, most recently the UNSC Silent Chorus, an advanced Destroyer; Ramsey has admitted to preferring posts aboard smaller, older ships, ferrying special operators to and from missions. As such, he has found his way to the command of the UNSC Wayward Wanderer, an older Mako-Class Corvette. [u][b] Timeline of Historical Events [/b][/u] [b] 2499: [/b] Born on Earth.
