Character Sheet

Format this however you'd like. I do like seeing pretty sheets, but substance over style and all that.

REQUIRED INFO

Name:

Age:

Gender:

Homeworld: (Where was your character born? Here's a list of the Inner Colonies. Here are some Outer Colonies. Keep in mind that there are so many colonies that haven't been mentioned. Feel free to make one up. If you do, provide some info, and keep it reasonable.)

Rank: (Ensure that rank fits the role. Squad leader aside, characters probably shouldn't rank higher than Corporal.)

Role: (I'm not reserving roles for people. Generally, first come first serve. If you really want a role, talk to people. Who knows, maybe everyone will let you have it.)

Experience: (How long has your character been in the UNSC? Were they in the CMA prior to the UNSC? Have they ever fought the Covenant before? What about insurrectionists? Make sure that experience fits rank, age, and role.)

Bio: (Give me some substance. At least one paragraph.)

Personality: (More than a sentence or two, please.)

Appearance: (You can use an image, if you'd like. I don't care what kind of image you use. I'd recommend realistic art, but what do I know? If you don't use an image, give me an apt description. I don't care how long it is, but I want to be able to get a mental image. Whether you use an image or not, I want to know height and weight.)

Gear: (Hold off on this, for now. I'm going to allow people to have a say in what weapons they get, but that will be restricted somewhat by role.)

Relationships: (At the start of the RP, most of our characters will have met only hours ago. However, if your character knows another character from before the Harvest Campaign, make note of it here. Maybe you want your characters to be bust buddies with another character. Maybe your character and another character got into a bar-fight ages ago. Go wild with it.)

Anything else you want to add. Whole new sections if you really want:

Sofia Vargas

Sofia Vargas

Name: Sofia M. Vargas

Age: 32

Gender: Female

Homeworld: Madrigal

Rank: Sergeant

Experience: Sofia joined the UNSC when she was 19. Since then, she was deployed extensively in anti-Insurrection efforts, serving through the entirety of Operation: TREBUCHET. However, Vargas was faced with a common problem among soldiers in the UNSC at the time. There wasn’t much to fight. The Insurrectionists weren’t fans of open ground conflict. She could count on one hand the number of firefights she was involved in. More than anything, she visited abandoned Insurrectionist camps, escorted ONI Investigators, and babysat CMA anti-riot operations. She did, however, serve in a few combat operations against the covenant. One of which earned her a promotion and a Purple Heart. Now, she’s been retasked as the leader of Whiskey Squad.

Bio: Sofia was born on Madrigal in 2493. Her father was a teacher, and her mother worked in a shipyard. Her’s was a comfortable life, but not one of privilege. Her marks in school were hardly noteworthy, and rather than enter the workforce right out of school, she chose to join the military.

There, she excelled. She was a good shot and a better leader. Of course, rank meant more than skill, and for her first few years out of basic, she was a less-than-humble rifleman. She met her first boyfriend, later her fiance, during Operation: TREBUCHET. She would serve for the entirety of Operation: TREBUCHET, moving to the Epsilon Eridani system when the fighting spread there. When the 9th Marine Expeditionary Force was reinforced and reassigned to the Harvest Campaign, she came along.

Personality: Something of a hardass, Sofia has a reputation for being tough. Very much a proponent of “tough love,” Vargas cares for the men and women fighting alongside her, though she’d be loath to admit it. On-mission, she’s noticeably serious. Off-mission she’s hardly approachable, but she’s more likely to joke around. She may not smile much, but she’s far from unhappy.
Gear:

• MA5B ICAWS
• M6C Magnum Sidearm
• Combat Knife
• Marine BDU

Relationships:

• Connor Webley: Cpl. Webley (who was, at the time, a CMA Sergeant) was involved in more than a few operations alongside Vargas during TREBUCHET. The two, at first, exhibited a degree of animosity. This culminated in a massive barfight while the two were on leave on Tribute that broke Webley’s nose and cost Vargas one of her teeth. After that, some begrudging respect came about, and the two ended up friends. Webley introduced her to Ensign Karim, who became her fiance. Though they're friends, they're openly antagonistic toward each other.
  
  ”Webley is the best the CMA has to offer. That makes him an average marine. He's a fuckin' asshole, too. I ever tell you the reason I'm missing two teeth? Yeah, it was his fucking boot.”

Conn Webley

Connor M. Webley

Name: Connor “Conn” M. Webley

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Role: Corpsman

Experience: Conn served for almost nine years in the CMA, and ranked as a Sergeant when the CMA was reorganized. He was then drafted into the UNSC, where his rank meant nothing. He’s completed both CMA and UNSC Basic Training. He’s been trained as a Corpsman. He served for six years of Operation: TREBUCHET, and has been involved in two skirmishes with the covenant.

Bio: Connor Mitchell Webley was born in 2498 to Audrey and Mitchell Webley, in Luxor on Eridanus II. He had two siblings, both younger, though, only barely. Conn got good marks in school, but hated every second of it. He had a proclivity for fighting, and generally making a nuisance of himself. After he finished high school, a lot of his friends joined the CMA. With no aspirations, and no desire to further his education, he joined up alongside them.

He hated every second of basic training, but upon finishing basic training he was made the leader of his squad. Of course, being a squad leader in the CMA just meant that you were a little better at shooting and crawling than your buddies, but Conn got to tell people what to do and he liked it.

As was the case with most CMA soldiers of the time, Conn was immediately assigned to Operation: TREBUCHET. This was three years into the fighting, and by then, the UNSC has almost completely taken over. Conn’s squad was almost exclusively relegated to dirty work. Cleaning up Insurrectionist bombsites, keeping the peace during the many riots. During this time, he met Ensign Karim and Sgt. Vargas. After the CMA was reorganized, he was drafted into the UNSC Marine Corps. He was later transferred to Whiskey Squad, under the command of his old friend Sofia Vargas.

Gear:

• BR55 Service Rifle
• M6C Magnum Sidearm
• Combat Knife
• Marine BDU
• Emergency Medical Kit (biofoam, a stitch kit, polypseudomorphine, self-adhering antiseptic battle dressings, and other useful field dressing component)

Relationships:

• Sofia Vargas: Though initially classifying her as an enemy, Conn later grew close with Vargas, though only after she broke his nose and her knocked out a few of her teeth. Much to his amusement, it was he who introduced her to her fiance, Ensign Farid Karim. Despite being friends, the two mock each other incessantly.
  
  “Hell is other people, but mostly it’s Sofia fucking Vargas. I ever tell you the reason my nose is crooked? Yeah, it was her forehead.”

Other:

• Conn’s younger brother, Oliver, was caught with bomb supplies and is currently serving a twenty-five year prison sentence for Conspiracy to Commit High Treason, Possession of Illegal Materials, and Possession of an Explosive Device with Intent to Harm.
• Conn recently quit smoking.

Roland

NAME: Roland Kertesz

AGE: 20

GENDER: Male

HOMEWORLD/HOME REGION: Reach (Highland Mountains, Ütközet Province, Viery Territory)

RANK: Private First Class (E-2)

ROLE: Rifleman

SERVICE NUMBER: 09361-45122-RK

EXPERIENCE: Enlisted in UNSCMC on 11/11/2524. Graduated BCT at Military Reservation 01478-B on 2/10/2525. Completed SOI and was assigned to first duty post with 1st Bn, 12th Marine Rgt. Awaiting transfer for Harvest counteroffensive.

BIOGRAPHY: Roland was born on 11/10/2506 in the Highland Mountains on Reach. Born to parents and, as a whole, a community of kiva-dwellers that were all woodcutters and miners. His childhood was mostly spent at the community primary school and hunting Moa. His interest was always fixated on the exploits of the UNSC and CMA against the likes of insurrectionists. His fascination continued well into his teenage years, and through speaking to veterans, local militia and UNSC forces, and a recruiter, was sworn in only a day after his 18th birthday.

He was shipped promptly to Military Reservation 01478-B only a couple hundred miles from his home. The base, nicknamed Painland, served as the base which he endured basic combat training (BCT), and the subsequent School of Infantry (SOI). His assignment yet again saw him stationed close by, with his first and only duty post so far being with the 1st Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment. He has since received orders to prepare for a transfer for the Harvest counteroffensive.

PERSONALITY: Roland is best described as somewhere between introverted and extroverted. This is due to his ability to be reclusive yet the next day making small talk with every person he comes across. But he is best known for this small talk, and that he could talk for days on end if only someone cared to listen, to the delight of some but the scorn of most.

His own sense of humor is as one would expect. He of course enjoys cracking the occasional joke or mocking someone in jest, along with palpable sarcasm present when answering questions.

/// Query: Background: Victor grew up in the upper class of New Alexandria, his parents were prominent business people with high government connections and were more than occasionally threatened by insurrectionists. These things come with the territory when you make weapons and tanks for the UNSC. Victor didn’t spend too much time in the city for those reasons, his favorite place to go was his uncles. His uncle owned a farm in a remote place on the planet, Victor would spend days working with the animals and tending farm land, exploring the land around the farm while being careful not to get caught by the harsh storms or the large predators of the reach. Not something one would expect from a rich kid, yet he enjoyed the thrill of adventure.

When he turned 18 he joined the UNSC, his parents protested, but they were part of the reason he joined up in the first place. He made it through boot camp just fine but was a bit disappointed to find out he was being assigned to a patrol cutter with the Epsilon Eridani Fleet. He did have a sinking feeling his parents may have pulled some strings to keep him close to home. Still, he was never far from combat, his cutter was one of 5 in a squadron tasked to searching suspicious civilian transports for contraband. His squadron was occasionally supported by a destroyer and saw many fire fights on board the ships they were searching.

He learned quickly who to make friends with and who not to, not that he wouldn’t be friendly just some of them were more prone to being hurt or killed when on mission. This scrapping with the insurrectionists continued for some time even earning him and his squad the attention of some ONI personnel when they found rather interesting contraband or weapons, sometimes Intel. Honestly he didn’t mind working with ONI agents or “spooks” as some others marines described them. As long as you didn’t lie or ask too many questions they seemed to be an OK bunch to him.

This is more than likely a reason why more and more of their missions had something to do with ONI over time. Raiding vessels and ships sometimes even military ones all so their ONI handler that was tasked to them at times could do what he needed and then they would leave. His command seemed to understand whenever they would search a ship that wasn’t on the mission log. Romanov figured he was tasked with a handler because of his squad’s knack at finding Intel and contraband that seemed important.

Still, after 4 years of being ONI’s delivery boy while getting shot at by insurrectionists, he received a promotion to Sergeant after his was shot and badly wounded on one of their raids. For reasons he did not know his ONI handler seemed to stop contacting him, he figured they were busy with something else. After this, he put in a transfer request to an open position in the 3rd marine expeditionary force. His request was approved and was quickly moved into his new position finding himself doing similar raids but this time against Insurrectionist bunkers and safe houses. It didn’t take him long to get used to ground based raids and even found himself getting along better with these marines then his old squad.

However, everything changed when a new enemy emerged from the shadows. He remembers that day the first time he heard the word covenant used with such malice. He remembers the situation report and the sudden scrambling of military options, and he remembers the new missions. Raids on alien outposts and salvage ops to places destroyed by orbital bombardment all for the hopes of salvaging some tech.

These raids continued for a little while until he was transferred out of his squad to take command of fireteam sledgehammer. He knows something big is coming down from the top brass he’s not too sure what it is but whatever it is won’t be fun. So now on his off time he’s slowly been training himself more and more trying to get some tips from some ODST’s he comes across and more veteran fighters than himself. Still, he’s not sure what he is preparing himself for but whatever it is he does not believe he is ready for the coming storm. //

/// Query: Personality Traits: Victor could be described as the strong silent type when not on mission. He tends to keep to himself unless he likes you and even then comes off as awkward or blunt towards others. He’s not one to beat around the bush and tries to keep a cool calm demeanor on and off the battlefield. This makes him at times seem monotone and seldom shows emotion towards others, he’s protective of his friends and has lost friends in combat. He is not one to be impulsive or brash on the battlefield and tries his best to think things through. //

[Raknarion]

Name: Ralf Thann

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Homeworld: Arcadia

Rank: Private

Role: Rifleman, Ammunition Carrier.

Experience: This assignment to Harvest would be his first, as he comes straight out of the boot-camp. Other than that, he has had no experience with the Covenant besides frightening pictures on the News.

Bio: Ralf came into this world in the year 2504, on the planet of Arcadia. His parents both had jobs in factories, several jobs. Jobs was required to get food at the table. And soon after some years of being nurtured into having an early quit on his childhood, Ralf began working as well. With several jobs. In spite of their poverty-situasjon, Ralf took it with a smile. One could say that a child in that situation required an optimistic look for hope of the future to not end up as a criminal.

Having seen the countless posters of the UNSC wanting young able-bodied men like himself, an idea began to form in his head. He investigated further into what perks one might receive if joining the Corps. With the pay he’d receive from UNSC during his employment, Ralf would further to his family back on Arcadia. It’d certainly help them, they would even be able to quit most of their extra jobs. The day he became eligible adult, he signed up for the Corps, after enduring waves of protests from his mother and sisters. His father understood and approved.

The start of his life within the Corps began with a horrid change from his usual life of being a facility worker. Drills, miles-long marches and shrieking deep-voiced sergeants. But as most others, he got used to it. Hell, he even liked the routine. By the time Ralf graduated from the Boot-camp, he was molded into a fine marine. But he was greener than summer-green grass. Fortunately, that would change with his deployment onto Harvest.

Personality: Grumpy, depressing and such grim things can't be used when describing Ralf. He considers himself to be all around a good-guy, he helps folks if they're in need. He listens to problems and tries to solve it without violence. Could even say that he's rather gullible, Ralf trusts people too easy. Luckily for him, the enemies he'll be facing now are beyond approach of good intentions. Only a marine and a proper rifle is the sole means of approach to the Covenant.

Name:
Edwin Tai

Age:
28

Gender:
Male

Homeworld:
Mars, Olympus Highlands

Rank:
Corporal

Role:
Anti-Armor/Sapper

Experience:
Seven years as a UNSC Marine. Following his firing from the Reyes-McLees Martian Orbital Shipyards, with no other options left to him due to the circumstances of his firing Tai enlisted in the UNSC Marines at the age of twenty one in the year 2519. Tai went on to take part in Operation: TREBUCHET in the Eridanis System as a part of the 9th Marine Expeditionary Force, facing Insurrectionist forces over the course of the next four years before being reassigned to Reach following injuries sustained in combat.

Bio:
Born in a suburb of the Olympus Highlands; located on, around, and even under Olympus Mons; Edwin Tai was raised as an only child by his parents Melissa and Jeong Tai both of which were biology professors at a university located an hours travel from the Olympus Highlands. Although raised by two successful individuals, Edwin found himself mixed up in the wrong crowd by the end of of his highschool education. His parents, not very happy with his life choices and the fact his grades were not high enough to land him in any of the very competitive universities on Mars pulled a few strings with some of the professors they knew in the School of Engineering at their university and landed the then delinquent Tai a job working in orbit at the Reyes-McLees Martian Orbital Shipyards.

For the next three years Tai would work in orbit above Mars, the realization that he couldn't be the spoiled and delinquent child he had been in school hit him quickly as everyday he watched his home pass below him. Soon enough Tai found himself taking pride in his work, his a hands taking part in the construction of many of the great ships of the UNSC and CMA Naval forces. Apt with a welding torch, Tai was quickly placed in an apprenticeship position and expected to learn the trade within his first year. By the end of the year the Master welder that Tai had been shadowing decided that he was knowledgeable enough to work on simpler welds without supervision. Satisfied, the yard foreman would cut Tai loose on smaller welds and expect him to continue following Journeymen and Master welders whenever his welds were complete.

Following an unfortunate accident on a CMA vessel that resulted in the death of twelve CMA sailors when welds gave way to hard vacuum under a high-g maneuver, Tai and two Journeymen that had worked on that portion of the ship were let go in order for Reyes-McLees to hold onto the trust of the UNSC and CMA.

Out of a job, and his parents now unwilling to house him, Tai found himself outside of a UNSC Marine Corps recruiting depot and signing his life away by the end of the month. Following graduation from boot camp, Tai was assigned to the forces that were currently taking part in Operation TREBUCHET as a replacement for a recently injured Marine. Taking part in a handful of smaller operations against the Insurrectionist forces.

On Eridanus II on the 19th of March, 2523, a then fireteam leader Corporal Tai would find his Warthog mounted patrol of two fireteams ambushed in a small farming hamlet. Following an improvised explosive devices detonation beneath the lead Warthog to open the ambush, Corporal Tai and his fireteam would find themselves pinned by effective fire from two heavily entrenched machine gun positions at nearly one hundred fifty meters to their left. Leading a desperate diversionary assault with one other member of his fireteam, Corporal Tai and Private First Class Leads would draw the entrenched positions fires away from the two Warthogs long enough for the remaining fireteam members to retrieve the two pinned survivors from the Warthogs wreckage. Tai and Leads would go on to successfully destroy one of the two machine gun nests with a set of five bound together grenades before being pinned by the second machine gun.

Pinned by the now destroyed first machine gun nest, Tai and Leads would attempt to make their way back to their Warthog after laying smoke but would both be hit by the random fire coming through the smoke screen. Following what would turn out to be a forty minute long fire fight which culminated in the destruction of the second machine gun nest by a flight of UNSC Hornets, Tai and Leads would be CASEVAC'd by Pelican Gunship. Corporal Tai would be awarded a Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Combat "V" for his actions that day as well as a Purple Heart for his injuries while Private First Class Leads would be posthumously awarded a Bronze Star for outstanding heroism in the face of overwhelming odds and a Purple Heart for his ultimate sacrifice during the ambush.

Corporal Tai was sent to Reach to recover in the more capable medical facilities there where he would remain until the beginning of the Human-Covenant War. Following his full recuperation Tai was offered the chance to attend the Marine Sapper course, where he would learn how to effectively using many forms of explosives and weapons systems to breach buildings, deny areas, reclaim areas, and destroy enemy forces in battle. Following his successful graduation he was promoted to Sergeant, which would be taken away just six months later following a bar fight with a Second Lieutenant that resulted in a large amount of property damage.

Personality:
Tai can normally be found pouring over the latest in available data sets on Covenant weapons systems or reading some sort of technical specifications manual. He is known to be sarcastic at all times and tends to get right to the problem at hand when in combat. Outside of combat Tai is rather easy to approach, easy going and sociable, Tai has no problem putting a stop on what he is doing to be an ear for a younger Marine or Sailor and enjoys the company of others even while reading. Tai also a tendency to make distasteful jokes with great timing, much to the chagrin of his superiors.

Emily Fox

Name: Emily Fox

Age: 19 (Specifically 19 years, 7 months)

Gender: Female

Homeworld: Arcadia

Rank: Private First Class

Role: Marksman

Experience: Emily entered the UNSC at the age of eighteen, making her current service one year. Before the UNSC, she fought insurrectionists once in an attack on one of her father's company buildings with an M6A kept under the counter, barely holding them off until security forces could arrive and taking a scratch from a bullet that whizzed just close enough to skim the skin. During her service, she was included in raids against insurrectionist camps, including one in which she managed to pot-shot a pistol out of an insurrectionist commander's hand before he killed himself, allowing him to be captured alive, albeit missing a finger or two (which was one of the main influences toward her Private First Class promotion). Against the Covenant, she has fought fewer times than the insurrectionists, yet she was included in one major operation as well as a several force-on-force engagements.

Bio: Emily Fox was born into the medium-high society of Arcadia as the youngest of three. Her father owned Flying Fox, a company involved in making civilian aircraft, and her the rest of the family worked in that same company. For Emily, there were no weekends; throughout an Arcadia week, she would be at school, and in the weekends she would work for the company. More often than not she'd go clay pigeon shooting, or real pigeon shooting, with rich individuals, or she would attend parties with alcohol she wouldn't be allowed to have but would consume anyway.

Emily didn't like that life, but she didn't know what to do with her life until the age of sixteen, when insurrectionists chose her father's company as it's target of the day. Emily was at the reception of one of the engineering buildings at the time that a cell of insurrectionists came rolling in. The alarm was hit and an M6A was tugged out from under the counter, the barrage of shots being what was needed to hold the insurrectionists at bay; they wouldn't enter the building as the young woman inside fired shots out at them, and took a very close shot to the shoulder which tapped the skin close enough to tear it before disappearing into the wall behind it's target. A few minutes of firing felt like a few hours, but that was all it was before the security forces arrived.

The attack influenced her to join the UNSC, even more so when the threat of the Covenant was shown to Humanity. She wanted to protect Humanity, to do something with her life that wasn't sitting behind a reception desk. She joined the UNSC, and by the end of her training was proclaimed a marksman; the clay pigeon shooting had in fact helped her out in that regard, rather than being a useless sport played by those on Arcadia. (Everything after this is basically covered in 'Experience')

Personality: Emily has a distaste of insurrectionists and Covenant alike, particularly to the insurrectionists as she does not see why they are fighting while the Covenant are destroying entire worlds; she feels that the UNSC-insurrectionist conflict should reach a ceasefire until the war is over. She also has a distaste toward armchair admirals, those who sit back and order their soldiers around without being in the frontline. She follows orders, but that doesn't mean she has to like them.

Emily is slightly bitchy; when she feels that she can get away with it, has reason behind it or is just in a bad mood, she'll complain. This doesn't mean she is bad, however. She feels great trust toward her friends and her brothers and sisters in arms, and will support them when they need it. She isn't the type to throw herself in front of a bullet, let alone a bolt of plasma, but she'll hold their hand and pat them on the back. Unless the person is from ONI, she is friendly toward them. She isn't a fan of how they operate, however she can't question their efficiency.

Holly Romanov

Name: Holly Romanov

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Homeworld: Reach, New Alexandria

Rank: Private

Role: Rifleman/Grenadier

Experience: Holly has been in the UNSC for eight months, included in many attacks on insurrectionist bases as well as two engagements with the Covenant. She has been injured once in the past during a friendly-fire incident, a shot to her left arm, however she reached a full recovery quickly.

Bio: Holly grew up in New Alexandria, on Reach, under a life of threat by the insurrectionists. It was due to her parents' business making equipment for the UNSC. Despite this, she lived happily, becoming one of the most popular girls at school due to her looks and cheerfulness. When she reached the age of nine, her brother Victor joined the UNSC, and every time she got a chance she would send messages to him. Her brother joining the UNSC influenced her, and whenever she was asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" She would answer, "I want to be a marine."

Her parents were not happy with this, and did everything they could to move their little girl away from the idea of signing her name on the dotted line. Eventually, Holly started to fake that she wasn't, starting to agree with her parents that she wouldn't. It was all a lie, for when she legally could, she told her parents she was going for a walk and indeed she did - straight to the UNSC recruiting station. She told her parents about her decision only after it was too late to turn back. This was also the time she chose to tell her brother about it, so that he hadn't any time to sway her mind. Holly was determined, and so after graduating from boot camp as a grenadier began her career as a marine.

Personality: Holly is an innocent and cheerful spirit. She joined the UNSC to follow her brother's footsteps, and in her opinion, who doesn't want to a hero? Holly tries to keep up a positive attitude and often jokes around, albeit the jokes happen less in the middle of a firefight. It is rare that she's serious and common that she's giggling about something to herself. She cares a lot for her friends, and strives to be the ultimate supporter of them when they need it.
