[OOC] Halo: Aegis Team

[krismer22]

Posting this round for DD and I.

[Zarkun]

Name:Comi’Masam

Rank (If applicable): Infiltrator

Species: Sangheili

Appearance: Standing at roughly 2.4 meters tall, Comi is a black skinned female Sangheili with a nasty scar down her left arm, a reminder from Covenant loyalists how they treat those loyal to the Arbiter. Her armor is that of your typical Spec Ops fighter, albeit painted red and blue to mark her better to allies and a slight alteration to the helmet, allowing for integration of the Human sniper rifle scope to her helmet feed.

When not in her armor, she can be found wearing a ceremonial robe of some kind, though she is never without a weapon of some kind, and this attire often comes with a plasma pistol.

Skills: Long range support tactics and close-combat tactics are her specialty, preferring the armor and shield penetrative power that the Human SRS99-AM carries over the beam rifle of the Swords of Sanghelios. She is also a skilled Ghost pilot, often using its speed to get in range of enemy forces and then unleashing a lethal burst of plasma fire.

Preferred Weapons/Equipment: SRS99-AM Sniper Rifle for long range engagements, with a modified Type-1 energy sword, with a larger guard on the outside and shorter inner blade, for close-quarters combat paired with her plasma pistol. For equipment, she uses active camouflage, though after the Requiem Incident, she also has been known to use a Hardlight Shield when needed. Also packs demo-charges for sabotage missions.

Background: Comi’Masam was born and raised on the colony world of Rahnelo, a planet with a tropical equator and snow and ice in every other direction, meaning that the swifter and more readily maneuvered vehicles of the Sangheili were preferred as they could handle the ways between settlements better. She herself was trained to fight from a young age, though only the males of her home were drafted and would be allowed to fight for the Covenant, that did not bother her at all. If she could defend her home when the time came, she would and that was all she needed.

However, as the years went on, the expected Human attack and invasion never came and Comi’Masam found herself bored on her patrols. Even after word reached them of the Prophets betrayal of the Sangheili and the fall of High Charity, she and the other warriors of her world who had not already left were told to remain, though the Kaidon of the largest settlement on Rahnelo did officially declare them loyal to Arbiter Thel’Vadam. It was this declaration of loyalty, or so many thought, that led to Prelate Tem’Bhetek attacking their quiet, out of the way world. Her first bouts of combat, real combat, were against the vicious, barbaric Jiralhanae of the Covenant Remnants, who wasted no time setting themselves upon the inhabitants of the planet. It was during this battle that a Jiralhanae gave her the gash wound on her left arm with the blades of his Mauler, roaring that traitors deserve no less, if not more, though he was disemboweled almost immediately after by the agile female. An earlier bombardment from their CRS-Class light cruiser ensured that the bastion compounds were unable to immediately come to the aid of the Keep, but they held the line all the same, despite high casualty numbers.

After the attack, and the subsequent capture of Kaidon Tulum 'Juranai and his two eldest sons, Comi joined the Scion and new Kaidon in boarding the Shadow of Intent and tracking down their father and brothers along with the Prelate and killing the San’shyuum for his treachery. After these events, during which it was discovered that Tulum and his sons were killed, she requested transfer to a more active front. She saw battle and missions all across Swords of Sanghelios space, trying to put down the last of the Covenant so that peace might finally truly reign. She even served time keeping the Jiralhanae contained on their homeworld, though it was no longer than a few weeks between deployments. Eventually, she grew bored once more, the repetitiveness of everything getting to her and she went to her commanding officer for a request to something new. The response was a placement in a joint SPARTAN-IV, Swords Special Operations team, where she met Spartan Lucas Ryker. Their time together saw them become fast friends, with many successful missions under their team’s belt. It was at his recommendation that she is now being transferred to Aegis, as well as at the request of their new Swords Liaison, Ethat’Lacalu, due to her skill at infiltration and sabotage.

Johnathan Philip Flint

Name: Johnathan Philip Flint (Goes by J.P. or Flint)

Age: 23

Rank: [UNSC Navy] Petty Officer Second Class

Species: Human

Appearance: Standing a meek 5'7" and weighing in at 154lbs Flint is small to say the least.

Rough look

In Gear

Skills: All things Mechanical- Weapons maintenance/Vehicle operation and maintenance/Doors/Control panels/Heavy machinery/Etc.
He can read most varieties of covenant languages but speaks none of them.

Preferred Weapons/Equipment: Primary - M392
Secondary - M6S
Equipment - M11 Combat Knife, Smoke Canisters of all sorts, his favorite tools

Personality: "If you met the the young man, you'd think he was possessed by a grumpy elder gentleman. Do try to look past his poor manners, you'll find him to be a truly brilliant individual." - Dr. Sherwin

Flint's a minimalist and always has something to complain about but once its time to work he gets eerily quiet with a razor sharp focus written all across his face. In fact he prefers working in peace and quiet however has adapted to become just as efficient under stress and surrounded by loud noises.

Background: The majority of Flints experience within the UNSC Navy has been entirely under the ONI Intelligence and Exploitation Division. After Flint finished his initial entry training he discovered that he wasn't particularly fond of "Big Navy" as he called it. All the hardcore, gung-ho initiates yelling all the time and always busting their asses to show off to the Chiefs. Flint didn't like that or all the supervision and restriction. So he volunteered to be trained as an Intelligence and Exploitation Engineer. They had an entrance exam that wasn't much of a hurdle. He got transferred and immediately started studying under Doctor Edith Sherwin in the Intellegence Division. Dr. Sherwin had many engineers training under her but took a special liking to Flint.

"I couldn't ever put my finger on it. I just felt like somewhere underneath all his disregard and lack of enthusiasm there was a brilliant mind that was yearning to be challenged." - Dr. Sherwin

She was right. Once Flint started learning, he couldn't stop himself. He first educated himself on all types of UNSC transports and combat vehicles. Ground, Air, Sea and Space. Excelling past all his peers he was promoted quickly and eventually was re-assigned to the Exploitation division where his talents helped the UNSC dissect covenant tech and reengineer/repurpose it for UNSC use. After three years of lab work, Flint was volunteered by his commanding officer to join some of the recovery teams. This is where he got a taste for working on things directly on the battlefield, far behind the actual combat of course. Recovery teams were only a few engineers escorted by a platoon of marines. They took apart what they could and marked specific technology for recovery at a later date. Flint was still unsatisfied with the parts and pieces he got to look at and play with. He wanted less supervision and wanted to get his hands on whatever the enemy had while it wasn't shot to hell. He got his opportunity once he promoted to Petty Officer Second Class. A particular Team was being put together and needed a competent and independent engineer that could run with a highly trained group of individuals. Flint brought up his desire to join with Dr. Sherwin and she pulled a few strings to get him the slot.

@EliteCommander Out of curiosity, is there still room for characters in the RP? I may as well try my hand at a group setting.

@Charlie Foxtrot

I can accept new players, but it usually has to be between missions. To give you fair warning, though, it may be a while before this mission is finished. Though, we have found other ways to introduce people before.

What kind of character are you interested in.

[Charlie Foxtrot]

@EliteCommander Looking through the character section, there's a fair amount of humans and Elites. Perhaps a Kig-yar mercenary who's only in it for the money and equipment, and may or may not have a habit of hoarding shiny things? The mental image I have is heavily inspired by (film) Deadpool and Vezon from Bionicle.

[EliteCommander]

@Charlie Foxtrot I think that would be more possible to bring in during the mission, I would just need to brainstorm how. We are soon going to be in a large-scale assault on a Sangheili Keep, so that is a potential point for an addition.

[Charlie Foxtrot]

@EliteCommander I can wait until the mission ends. It gives me time to catch up with the RP, and get a feel for the characters. See how a klepto Skirmisher interacts with Spartans, Elites, and a Grunt. I anticipate some fun with Grikgar, knowing the species' history.

[Aristocles]

@EliteCommander@Charlie Foxtrot

I'm looking to get back into this too, but I'll likely have to wait between missions as well.

[EliteCommander]

@Charlie FoxtrotIt is your choice, but a while could be quite a while. This particular mission ties to a character's backstory, so we'll probably be taking our time with it. My recommendation would be to join in the middle, if it is possible.

[Charlie Foxtrot]

@EliteCommander Duly noted. I'll consider and work on a character sheet.

[ReusableSword]

@EliteCommander he could come in when the armor gets dropped off after we take out the aa gun

That's what I was thinking.

[Charlie Foxtrot]

@EliteCommander I'll be working on a character sheet soon and submitting it when I can. I'll be reading to catch up, but I'd like to work the Banished into my character's backstory, and I'm curious if any of the PCs or major NPCs have had experience with them.

@Charlie Foxtrot

I would have to double check, but from my memory, I do not believe so.

[DeadDrop]

Catch up coming soon.

I will be posting in a few days. <3
