Disclaimer, nothing in this RP is Canon at all. it never has been nor will it ever be. the Universe guardians has set in motion is the Easiest to work with in terms of Enemies and it is easier for people new to halo to understand
HALO:RECOVERY ONE
This RP does take place after the events of Halo 5: Guardians. If you have not finished the game or played it yet (Seriously its been a while since it came out) here is brief synopsis of what happened so you are upto speed for this RP. (the synopsis is from wikipedia)
Fireteam Osiris is deployed to the Covenant-controlled planet of Kamchatka to extract the rogue Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, who claims to have information on a series of devastating attacks on several human worlds, during a battle between Covenant forces and the Prometheans. While the team is successful in retrieving Halsey and eliminating the Covenant leader Jul 'Mdama, Halsey informs them that a new threat is about to emerge.
Elsewhere, the Master Chief leads Blue Team on a mission to secure a derelict ONI research station known as Argent Moon. However, while advancing through the station, a Covenant fleet arrives, forcing Blue Team to scuttle the station instead. During the sabotage, the Chief receives a cryptic message from Cortana, directing him to the planet Meridian. John is ordered to return to Infinity upon destroying Argent Moon, but he and Blue Team disobey orders and set out after Cortana, forcing Captain Lasky to list the rogue Spartans as AWOL. This causes consternation aboard the Infinity, as Halsey believes that Cortana's survival through the use of Forerunner technology makes her unpredictable and untrustworthy.
Lasky gives Fireteam Osiris the objective of finding and capturing Blue Team. Osiris is deployed to Meridian in order to pursue Blue Team, where they find a human colony under attack by Promethean forces. During their pursuit, they encounter the Warden Eternal, a Promethean serving as Cortana's enforcer. After temporarily defeating the Warden, Osiris catches up to Blue Team, ordering them to stand down and return to Infinity. Blue Team, instead, board one of the eponymous Guardians: large Forerunner constructs capable of devastating colonies. Osiris themselves barely escape the colony's collapse as the Guardian activates and disappears. The Guardian emerges on the Forerunner planet Genesis, where John and Cortana reunite. Cortana says her rampancy was cured by the same Forerunner technology that saved her.
Osiris is deployed to the Sangheili homeworld of Sanghelios, where they plan to use a dormant Guardian resides there to travel to Blue Team's location. However, the planet is engulfed in civil war; the remaining forces of the Covenant have chosen to make their last stand there. To expedite their mission, Osiris joins forces with the Arbiter and help him strike a crucial blow at the Covenant remnant. The Arbiter secures victory for his forces while Osiris successfully boards a Guardian with the help of Commander Palmer.
On Genesis Osiris encounters the planet's caretaker, the artificial intelligence 031 Exuberant Witness, who allies with them to stop Cortana. Osiris catches up to Blue Team, who reveal Cortana is planning on using the Guardians to achieve galactic peace through forcible disarmament. Master Chief, aware of the massive devastation Cortana's plan will cause, attempts to convince Cortana to stand down. She refuses and confines Blue Team in a Forerunner prison, to prevent them from interfering with her plan. Osiris manages to transfer control of Genesis back to Exuberant, who wrests the prison from Cortana as she leaves the planet via a Guardian.
Artificial intelligences across the galaxy begin swearing allegiance to Cortana and her plans. Cortana locates Infinity and prepares to disable it, but Lasky has the ship's AI Roland, who is still loyal to Infinity, engage slipspace away from Earth and commit to random jumps until they can develop a way to combat Cortana. With Blue Team recovered, Osiris returns to Sanghelios to reunite the SPARTAN-IIs with an injured Commander Palmer, The Arbiter, and Dr. Halsey.
Right now we've got that out of the way. Onto the RP.
The Story and where you'll start
So, the story. this is what your all here for. You character will start onboard the UNSC Infinity, that has just come out of slipspace near an outer colony world. Captain Lasky has received orders from UNSC command to send all available fireteams out to reclaim Spartan armour from dead spartans so that it does not fall into the hands of the Covenant Remnants, Cortanas AIs and the Prometheans and Any Insurrectionists that have taken the chance now that the UNSC is vastly without its AIs. UNSC command has given permission to Destroy the Armour should it become impossible to recover. Captain Lasky has also had word from ONI that there are Promethean artifacts that must be recovered at all costs otherwise they could be weaponised by the enemy. Your Fireteam will be known as Quantum. Due to the fact that you are issued with two missions, you have the choice which mission the Fireteam will take, but be aware that missions that are not taken will result in a consequence later. After each mission an After Action Report will be placed in the OOC which will display what your team recovered and what asset you have acquired because of this. Aswell as this there will be postings of what has happened for other NPC fireteams that might affect your team.
So, i hear you ask how will this all work. Well, i have a list in a document of possible events that may happen due to the fireteam not taking a mission. there are different events for the different mission providers ONI and the UNSC. If you pick a UNSC mission i will have a random number generator pick a number and that event on the list will happen and be mentioned in the after action report. this is also the same for the other fireteams mission success or failure, it will be picked by RNG. For example of this, in the After action report after doing an ONI mission you will receive words from your scouts that the Insurrectionist forces have acquired the Spartan armour and are now using it on the Battlefield. The next UNSC mission will require you to find these troops and destroy them and the base they are manufacturing them in.

Rules: Please do keep arguements in the OOC to minimum no one likes to see that. Have Fun. MY WORD IS LAW. this is war swearing is acceptable (Acceptable but dont go nuts with it. please there are people on this site that have never played an online game on console)
I know its gonna sound petty but when americans pronounce words differently to british people..... and are adamant that we are wrong. (not all americans.)
For example, I enjoyed a trip to the states a couple months ago. I wanted to check the english football scores and asked a local if he knew of any football bars and explained that i wanted to know premier league scores (Premier, pronounced Prem-yer). I kid you not the guy replied "Oh you mean the Premier league" (Premier, pronounced Prem-ear) Every british football fan just cringed as did i and the few mates i was with.
