Name, Rank: Tomas Garcia, Gunnery Sergeant

Psychological Assessment: Gunnery Sergeant Tomas Garcia displays symptoms most commonly associated with post-traumatic stress disorder such as, but not limited to, bouts of rage and anxiety. His methods in the field are, based on mission reports submitted by former squadmembers of Garcia, often questionable. He has also shown a constant disregard for authority and little to no respect towards the newest members of his team. But based on his extensive service record and given the lack of battle-tested team leaders available to the ODSTs at this time, it is in my opinion that Garcia be cleared for active duty.

Medical Record and Evaluation: Well-built, red-skinned Martian standing at 5'3" feet. Narrow black eyes, high military regulation haircut. Numerous scars, the most distinct of which extend from his brows down to his chin and from his right cheek, over his nose and to his left cheek. His younger years now behind him, Garcia isn't exactly in his prime anymore. However, he is not yet at the stage where he is struggling to keep up with the standards set by the ODSTs.

Career Service Vitae: Tomas Garcia was born August 25, 2480 in the city of New Manila on Mars. He was the son of a shipyard worker and a road-train driver, but because of an early childhood incident, Garcia was placed under foster care.

Garcia enlisted on August 25, 2498 around when fighting between the insurrectionists and UNSC had started to escalate. He took part in the second major surge of combat troops in the Outer Colonies and was assigned to an assortment of rifle companies that saw light action fighting in brushfire wars that sprung up on the fringes of human space. But it wasn't until 2513, during the start of Operation: TREBUCHET, that he began to distinguish himself in combat.

He volunteered and became part of the ODSTs in 2514. Since then, Garcia has survived countless combat drops and operations, earning himself a reputation as one of the few seasoned veterans still alive after a solid decade of service with the ODSTs.
Debating on either making just a jack-of-all trades team leader or at least two more characters to fill the roles of designated marksman and heavy weapons guys.
Looking good! I'll have my own character up shortly.
Year 2524


Humanity stands divided.


A civil war is raging between the Unified Earth Government, the de facto human government, and various movements seeking some degree of freedom from its influence. Tracing its origins to notorious incidents such as the nuclear bombing of the Far Isle and rising aminsoity towards the UEG in the Outer Colonies, the fighting has dragged on for nearly three decades now, having claimed millions of lives and engulfing much of human-occupied space in the process. And despite the best efforts of the UEG's military agency, the United Nations Space Command Defense Force, no clear end appears to be in sight.

Your character is a member of Delta-Seven, a combat team in the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. Best known for their unconventional method of insertion, which involves deploying from orbit via a teardrop-shaped drop pod, the ODSTs are some of the best the military has to offer. Each one is a volunteer. Most are drawn from other special operations units in the UNSCDF or the standing militaries of UEG member nations. Every candidate is selected either by on their performance in their chosen job or for their extraordinary capabilities in combat. There are no age or gender restrictions in the ODSTs either, so long as potential members meet the physical and mental requirements set.

I can't really think of any explicit rules to list, so until something comes up, just expect the same general rules as any other RP. Also, keep in mind that we haven't encountered the Covenant yet and that some things may not have been widely known or around in the year 2524.

Great, I'll have an OOC up soon!
Not everyone in Halo is a supersoldier conscripted into the military at the age of 6, brutally trained and indoctrinated, then given armor that costs as much as a small starship. The ODSTs, or Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, are an all volunteer force that draws new members from the best the UNSC Defense Force has to offer, in addition to the standing militaries of nation-states encompassing the Unified Earth Government.

My plan for this RP is for our characters to be serving as members of a small unit in the ODSTs that will alternate between working for conventional military officers and agents of the Office of Naval Intelligence. Each character will serve a different role in the unit, ranging from a demolitions expert to an intelligence liaison. At most, the unit will consist of six members while on mission. If more than six characters are made for the RP, additional characters will be considered our "reserves" and may replace a member of the unit on the next mission, potentially because their role fits the mission description better than the ODST they'll be replacing.

I also plan on us starting just before the Human-Covenant War when Operation: TREBUCHET, a major UNSC campaign to crush rebel forces, was in full swing. Eventually however, we will make the transition from conducting counter-terrorist missions to taking part in massive battles with the Covenant. This is so we can really explore the Insurrection, which is a conflict that I feel really does deserve some spotlight, given the fact it was what got the SPARTAN program started in the first place.
