[OOC] We're The Desperate Measures (ODST Roleplay)

[eyesonlyhacker]

True, but its never mentioned how Misriah Armory survived. The leading theory is that it is on the opposite side of the planet from Mare Erythraeum, where the heaviest of fighting happened. I'm not even sure what their functioning has to do with anything. They are a small arms manufacturer. Not like we can borrow a tank or even a rocket launcher from them.

Wiki:

Most standard-issue UNSC weapons such as the M6 Series, BR55HB SR Battle Rifle, and Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel are produced by Misriah armory. While the DTM Series of shotguns were normally produced by the Weapon System Technologies, Misriah apparently produced a variant as well, possibly by license. Civilians were also apparently able to buy military-grade weapons such as the BR55 and the M90, as evidenced by an advertisement for the company.[2] Misriah Armory also produces hand-loaded match-grade ammunition for the SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle, used by Linda-058 during the Battle of Onyx.[3] Misriah also produced the Security variant of the MJOLNIR Mark V in 2543. In addition to producing most of the UNSC's arsenal, Misriah also produces many of its vehicles and equipment, from the ODST Ballistic Battle Armor to the Longsword Interceptor.

*shrugs* Like I said, who gives a shit. What military forces are there shouldn't matter. We are the characters, not some anonymous pelican or grunt. Any RP that has an obsession with non-character development has already failed. So lets not worry about anything but our own characters and the story we want, and get this RP going.

*eyes Archer* Is it morning for you yet? :P

No need to get defensive. People are just discussing possibilities to kill time.

[eyesonlyhacker]

I don't mean to be defensive. Just that I spent the last 10 years RPing with a community that only cared about arguing about sizes of armies and getting into dramatic dick measuring contests. Its left me with a low tolerance for such discussions.

[Apollosarcher]

First post is up, it's sort a induction to everyone and there opinions on being transferred here suddenly for this operation.

[Pepperm1nts]

@eyesonlyhacker: I'm primarily a Nation RP guy (though I prefer character-centered NRP's), so I know your pain.

[eyesonlyhacker]

You have bad timing Archer. :P Alright, gonna take a shower and see if I have the energy afterwards to get a post out.

[Foster]

Well, they also make body-armors (including MJOLNIR V(M) variant), and warthogs.

Also on mars: The sole manufacturer of the M808 MBT

Anyways, in the 'Mare is Tricode Village.

[Nallore]

Why no one tell me a Halo rp was up?! Is this still open or no?

[Apollosarcher]

Yes I'm still accepting.

[LokiLeo789]

We are on the Pelican right, cause eyesonlyhacker says she is in the locker room.... unless there is a locker room in the Pelican and I'm going stupid.

[Apollosarcher]

Yes most of you are on the pelican coming in, I'm fine if Hacker is just on board as a trooper already.

Alright thanks I work on a post

[Foster]

I thought we'd be taking SOEIVs?

Oh, sorry, forgot you were into that sort of thing.

[eyesonlyhacker]

*eyes Archer's post and his suspiciously*

Foster said I thought we'd be taking SOEIVs?

Yes we are, or else we'd not be ODSTs. What they were talking about is our arrival on the ship that is to take us to Mars. I miss read Archer's post last night and wrote as if I was already on board the Long Way Home.

[eyesonlyhacker]

So I did have one question that came to mind just now. Lasko is our Squad Leader, but who will be your 2 fire team leaders? A made a list of everyone already approved and their specialty by rank. This should help anyone needing clarification.

CPT Sam Lasko - Rifleman/Squad Leader
1st LT Jennifer Watters - CQC/Stealth
SSG Keni Mathers - EOD/Demo
SGT Lee Mcgarren - CQC
CPL Matthias Makinen - Scout/Medic
LCpl Anders Björkgård - Sniper
SPC Dorien Pella - Rifleman/Grenadier

[KaiserFranz]

My best guess. It will be a part of the briefing xP
Useful list aswell, lists are always handy to have around.

[eyesonlyhacker]

Hopefully Nallore will maybe join. The more the merrier. Though I did have another thought. How much more fun would it be if we got at least one Covenant PC? :P

...I don't know, I have a feeling that his IC would be a just a bunch of grunting and yelling
