Feet First into Hell: A Halo ODST RP Sign up and OOC Revival

[Tipsynaruto]

Alright troopers. Listen up! We got clean up duty. It appears that some Convenant dirtbags have managed to evade our guns up in space. Worst yet, they have the balls to place foot on our soil. Nuh-uh. That ain't happening. Not on our watch. Not for long. Command has seen fit to drop you lazy bastards right on top of their heads for us to do our job. Our objective? I want you, to paint the soil purple. Leave no alien alive. Leave no trace of them behind. I want you to shoot, blow, crush, burn and destroy by any means necessary, any and all freaks within the radius of Earth. There will be no Master Chief to hold your hands, nor to coddle your ass. Each and every single one of you fight, or i shoot you myself. We will not break. We will not falter, we are ODST.

Move out men! Get into your pods and prepare to drop feet first into hell.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome back to Earth. Its October 23rd, 2552. Things have been ruffled up a bit since the last time you guys were here. Convenants have now landed on a few places on Earth and are pummeling local forces as always. However, this time, its different from the colonies. This is Earth. We fight to win or die trying. This is where you come in. Join up as an ODST, a marine or even a civilian and fight to your last breath against the alien scum.

This is a revival of my first ever RP that never took off due to school and stuff. At the encouragement of Kevin, i'm restarting it, hopefully getting the actual rp running.

This is a non-canon rp based on the hit FPS game Halo. Its timeline and events link in with the actual story, but it does not play a major part in affecting anything if you do not know it. There will be opening for being ODST, but these will be limited. Unlike the old one, I'm limiting the position to three to be up for grabs. One is for me, the other Kevin. If you miss out, you can be a normal marine. Do remember that marines are a good deal less effective and skilled and armoured than ODST, thus do expect to be killed at certain points. If you are, feel free to create another character.

IMPORTANT NOTICE!

This rp leans more on the realistic side. The story is about how badly the humans are being mauled at war with a group of aliens. That means that they are not that easily killed, nor do the humans have the advantage. Each character is not superhuman, nor the master chief. If you choose to play human, the rp will be based heavily on teamwork and strategy, not blindly running up and spraying. If you do that, i will give serveral warnings before i will kill off your character, as it is what will happen in the Halo universe. Also, if you do not wish to be human, but covenant just say so and tell me which race and i'll pop a bio up for you.

Humans:
Each uniform is pretty much the same. However, feel free to add a small bit of personalisation such as decals or symbols and maybe a few extra items. Also state what loadout you begin with.

ODST: These are the modern equivalent to paratroopers. They drop in in ceramic pods through the atmosphere behind enemy lines and engage in combat. They are the elite of the marines and are the cream of the crop. They are seasoned troopers that have been through combat. Please keep the age limit to about 23 and above. The younger you are, the less experienced you are.

Their equipment consist of a full body armour and visor that are much superior to the standard marine battle armour. It is able to take much more damage than the normal soldier, through having ablative plating. Each trooper can hold two firearms. However, they are not superhuman are are incapable of holding multiple heavy weapons, so balancing weight out is required.

Marines: The standard infantry for the human army. These soldiers possess more simple battle armour than the ODST, thus are not capable of taking the same amount of damage. Similar to the ODST, they are capable of holding two weapons, but weight limit has to be observed.

Weapons: Only one heavy weapon per person. In addition, if you do not specialise in a certain class, efficiency with specific weapon will be lowered. EG, Sniper, Rocket Launcher.

We will use a system of 100. Even if you have two light weapon with enough weight to carry a third, you are not allowed to. You are also much faster with a lower number. Pick depending on your class.

Grenades come in five types allowing two of each type, no more, even if the other type is empty. For all loadout, two of the first three are given.

Weapon: Primary: SRS 99D Anti Material Sniper Rifle

Brief History: Stephen signed up to the marines at 18 and showed promise, he became an ODST at the age of 23 and has 8 years of battle experience. In training he excelled with a Sniper rifle, and thus specialized as a marksman, on previous missions he has taken the final shot against 3 brutes and thus marked them on his chest with their own blood.

if anything is wrong just let me know and i will edit it.

 

[Oliver Queen]

I think I'll just C&P from the other thread, if that is alright. If not, I can create someone from scratch.

 

[Noblesse Oblige]

OOC: This is copy and pasted from the original SU/D thread of the Halo ODST RP. The information here will be subject to change. (The History changing pending Tipsynaruto's Bio)

Name: Frederick Juenger Richards
Nicknames: Fred, Jager
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Age: 40
Affiliation: UNSC Orbital Drop Shock Trooper (ODST)
Rank: Gunnery Sargent
Specialty: Close Quarters Combat (Formerly Marksman)

Appearance:
Frederick is 6'3" and weighs 195 lbs. A former Boxer before joining ODST, he has well defined muscles from his usual workouts. He has moderately bushy eyebrows and a 5 o'clock shadow. Frederick has short black hair. He also has some minor scarring in lower part of his face, partially due to a close call with a plasma pistol round to the face in a previous battle.

Weapon of choice:
Primary:
M90A CAWS Shotgun

Secondary:
M6C/SOCOM Suppressed Pistol

Grenades:
Flashbang Grenades

Armor: Frederick wears the standard ODST Armor, but wears a bandolier belt around it coming from the left shoulder to the right side of the lower abdomen., allowing him to carry extra spares of ammunition at one time. He also carries a CQB Knife on the right side of his Chestplate.

His emblem is an Eagle (similar in design to the Eagle that makes up the official coat of arms of the United States) which is on the center of his chest plate.

Personality: Behind his tough exterior lies a man with deep spiritual convictions and respects for those he serves and fights with. As one of the oldest members of Kuma's ODST Team, he serves as an adviser for the much younger Lieutenant. Despite his sometimes religious nature, he is a foulmouthed SOB who would use his position to try and improve morale with his team.

Brief History:
Frederick was born in Losantiville, Seven Hills on the Planet Mars on December 16, 2511. His father was a professional wrestler and his mother an actress.

The Williams Family History dates back to the mid-22nd Century where his ancestors fought in the Martian Campaign of the Interplanetary War (2160-2170). As such, Fred was interested in the life of the UNSC and aspired to join their ranks. When he turned eighteen, he immediately signed up to join the UNSC Marines.

Before Joining the ODST's, Fred took part in the Third Battle of Harvest and the First Battle of Arcadia as part of the Marine Complement on board the UNSC Spirit of Fire in 2531 before switching to the Pillar of Autumn.

Frederick volunteered for ODST and joined their corps shortly before taking part in the Jericho VII Campaign where he worked with future ODST Taylor H. "Dutch" Miles in the defense of the Space Elevator there.

Fred would later be attached to Lieutenant Kuma's squad in 2552 where he took part in the Battles of Sigma Octanus IV, Reach and Tribute, giving him deep respect for Kuma's leadership. He now works with his squad for the defense of Earth.

 

[Whoareyou]

Alright.

I sent you a PM.

Any chance you could help out with covenant hunter bio pointers, they seem sort of, well odd

 

[Tipsynaruto]

TO everyone: Fragmentation grenade and flash bang are compulsory loadout. You can carry two of each type to start off with. The other three will need to be picked up. Im in a rush right now, so ill post mine when im back.

@ Cardiac: No Problem if you wanna C&P. Just make sure you make the adjustments to the new requirements and crap like that, but from what i remember, i think your character is good to go, but still, post it up. So its [PENDING]

You'll be the FNG again

@ Stephen. Since Cardiac is going to be the FNG, id appreciate it if you put your guy's age up a bit. To maybe 25. I do not want two FNG on the team. Im in a rush, so ill finish reading your bio when i get back.

@ Kevin. Lol. Cmon. A CQC soldier with a marksman rifle XD? Id thought you'd start off with a shotty.

 

[Oliver Queen]

Name: Billy Steel

Nickname: 'Wild Bill'

Race: Human

Sex: Male

Age: 23

Affiliation: ODST

Rank: Private

Specialty: Scout

Appearance: Billy is a smaller man that leads by example. He is not that strong, but his job never required him to be. He used to be a sprinter in his free time before he joined ODST to help out. He made a good living as a doctor, so he figured he would be just as good a medic as a doctor. When his helmet is off, he shows off his short black hair and black mustache. People always rememer his face because his hair sticks out more than anything else.

Weapon: M7S Caseless SMG + M6C/SOCOM sidearm

Armor: Standard

Personality: Billy is the quiet one, preferring to let his work do the talking for him. When he has to, he sticks to the point so his speeches are smaller than most. He is always serious about his work and doesn't really mess around too much. People respect him because he help keep people alive (or try to anyways).

Brief History: When he was younger, he was an intern at his old school, helping out the nurses. He went into the medical field after school and quickly got a job at a hospital. The hospitals in his area weren't having many patients and he didn't want to find another hospital, so he decided to join the ODST. He easily found his place and was accepted in, so he started working on his speed to get to someone wounded farther away. He hopes to get enough field experience to join ODST someday.

 

[Noblesse Oblige]

@ Kevin. Lol. Cmon. A CQC soldier with a marksman rifle XD? Id thought you'd start off with a shotty.

Like I said, information is subject to change, as in, I have not finished the changes yet.

 

[Tipsynaruto]

Back onto bio reviewing

@Snow: Most of it looks pretty good. The age thing i said before still stands. Remove the spike grenade. What i had intended was us to go in with human weaponry only. Those under the grenade link was for those unfamiliar with them. Besides those, i think thats good.

[Pending]

@Kevin: Right then. Srry about that. I just couldnt help commenting on it. Ill finish my one asap. Gonna have a lot of C&P

@Cardiac: Affiliation would be ODST, unless you want to be marine. The age thing is okay because if you join, you'd be the green recruit. I was just thinking, do we need the medic class kevin? I mean, there is the biofoam thing, so im not sure.

[Pending]

 

[Whoareyou]

This is what I've written for a hunter since they are different to brutes and can't really use other covenant weapons.

Let me know if anything needs changing.

Thanks.

Name: Igaran Tanyo Xarn

Nicknames: Hunter, Can o' Worms, Big Scary Monster, Thing with Spikes, Ogre, The Spiked Worm.

Race: Covenant Hunter

Sex: Male (Debateble due to the hunter's nature)

Age: Unknown

Affiliation: Covenant

Rank: Leader Hunter

Speciality: Close Combat/Ranged Combat/Damage "Sponge"/Covenant Tank Pilots.

Appearance: Standing at around 15ft tall and weighing around 12,500 pounds a hunter is a colony of minisulce worms combined and encased within a solid suit of "Hunter armour" which is made of a substance unknown to humans, which is extremely tough and difficult to damage, able to take between hundreds and thousands of rounds depending on the calibre, and even stronger weapons at range.

Weapon: One of the hunter's arms has a "Hunter Assault Cannon" grafted onto it. This is a large gun with several green bulbs protruding from the back. It fires bolts of radioactive, incendiary gel at it's enemies, scorching and severly burning upon contact.

Armour: A hunter wears a full set of "Hunter Armour" made of a tough compound, the makeup of which is unkown to humans. It is able to withstand between hundreds and thousands of rounds, and even sniper shells or spartan laser rounds at range. They also have a shield, mounted on the arm which is not armed with their Assault Cannon, this is made of the same material as their armour and so up close becomes extremely useful for blunting shotgun or melee attacks.

Personality: Hunters don't have a personality as a human would recognise it. However, they fight in an extremely efficient manner, using ranged attacks where appropriate, yet always moving towards their enemy, as their immense strength and use of their shields up close makes them a formidable foe in combat. As a Hunter Leader Igran Tanyo Xarn is one of the strongest, and most accurate due to his high level of experience, and so is truely a foe to be reckoned with.

Breif History: Igaran Tanyo Xarn is one of the most experienced hunters that the covenant can deploy. He arrived at earth on the same ship as the supreme commanders, and once it had been noticed that ships were making it to the surface, he was given his orders and sent down to the planet to carry them out. As a hunter of high experience he is able to carry out all manner of missions from slaughtering huge numbers of troops with the help of covenant grunts or brutes,or taking crack teams to the enemy, and taking out members of high command. With his abilities up close, at range and in tanks combined with his tough armour, he gets the job done.

His "Bond Brother" was killed by the Marines many years ago in a situation where the pair of them had been outnumbered 20 to 1. He became enraged by this, and slaughteed the entire platoon, getting him noticed by covenant high command, and sine he has outperformed all other hunters in the fight against humanity, bringing him his current poistion at the head of the hunters.

 

[Tipsynaruto]

Right. Here is my one

Name: Rikkimaru Kuma

Nickname: L.T, Bear

Race: Human

Sex: Male

Age: 27

Affiliation: UNSC ODST

Rank: First Lieuntenant

Specialty: Weapon Specialist

Appearance: Rikkimaru defies the typical convention of a hardcore UNSC veteran. He is leaner than most, but has the same muscle capacity as the others. His face is long thin, with his eyebrows always knitting together in a perpetual frown. His lips follow his eyebrows which always seem to be serious and unforgiving. It is only though his constant time in the field and his natural genes allow him to always have a short ponytail. His hair grows erratically and quickly, so he cuts it often. Recently, with lack of time, it remains as a short low ponytail that reaches the base of his neck. its definitely not regulation length, but it doesnt impede on his duty and no-one higher up seems to give a damn.

Weapon: MA37 ICWS Assault Rifle, M90 CAWS Shotgun.

Armour: Rikkimaru's armour is the usual standard type with a few modification. Where as the standard armour have backpacks, Rikkimaru's one carry an extra lower bag beneath the regular one and an extra left leg thigh bag. In addition to the standard CQB knife on his chest, Rikkimaru sports a longer machette that hangs on the lower right of his lower bag. On the middle of his helmet, he has a lighter grey flaming comet decal.

Personality: Rikkimaru is the intellectual serious type. His looks reflect his personality in it that even when joking, they are mostly witty and smart while his face remains straight, with an occasional slight smile. He lives by the principle of leaders lead and expects the best from himself and his men, thus he is strict in terms of dedication and performance during battle. Whatever situation he gives his men, he will be willing to do it too. Thus, he is well liked by his men, even with his slightly cold demeanor. As long as his men give him 120% effort, then all is well and everyone will get along.

Brief History: Rikkimaru was born a soldier. His family had always ran the tradition of enlisting into the military, and that is what he did. With the proud history of his ancestors behind him, Rikkimaru pushes himself to the max. His proficiency and willingness to volunteer for dangerous mission placed him in the scopes of ODST recruiters in which he volunteered for the unit at 22. Although already a lieutenant, he was deemed too young to be one for the highly dangerous ODST. So they extended OSC course for another year. At 23, he officially joined the ODST and was sent off to war as part of the unit. He had sporadic career, fighting all over the place against the covenant. However, his most impressive feats were his involvement at Sigma Octanus and his survival from Reach, where he manage to extradite his squad off the planet after holding off the first few waves of Covenant assault on the reactors for the Orbital MAC Guns before they were ordered to retreat. Now, back at Earth for a short period, the Covenant had begun their attack and has been informed of imminent deployment.

 

[Tipsynaruto]

@ Iron Man: Very nice bio. Like how you also included how his bond brother died.

From what i remembered, the shields are made from the same stuff as ship armour, but i think the body armour is weaker, where a spartan laser or rocket can kill them.

Other than that, it seems good, so id say

[Approved]

 

[Whoareyou]

Alright, I'll bear that in mind, shield for lasers and rockets.

And thanks very much

 

[Noblesse Oblige]

@Cardiac: Affiliation would be ODST, unless you want to be marine. The age thing is okay because if you join, you'd be the green recruit. I was just thinking, do we need the medic class kevin? I mean, there is the biofoam thing, so im not sure.

Alright, I know how to do that. For balancing purposes, the medic would only be allowed one grenade type, either Frag or Flashbang. If that doesn't work out, it'll be dropped altogether for another job type.

 

[Tipsynaruto]

Nah, what im thinking is that the foam makes the class a bit redundant. If you take away one of the grenades, it makes them seem a bit more redundant. Im just thinking if i should make the medic into a hybrid class with something else, so that they seem more useful.

 

[Noblesse Oblige]

Yeah, I suppose you're right. Especially considering it is easy to use.

I'm trying to remember the job positions from the original ODST game. we have a CQC expert, Demolitions (considering whether Explosives will combine Demolitions with Heavy Weapons), Marksman...we could replace the Medic with a Scout class, could use the two silenced weapons, but that's me IMO.

 

[Tipsynaruto]

yea. we can combine the scout class with the medic. Give him some form of slight optical camoflague like the S III had, but only for a few seconds.

 

[Tipsynaruto]

Finish later

Name: Rhta Themarra

Race: Sangheili/ Elite

Sex: Male

Age: Unknown

Affiliation: Covenant

Rank: Supreme Commander
Appearance: Rhta is relatively tall for an Elite, standing at 260 cm tall. He is rather tall for an elite, however, he is not bulky nor massive. Like most Elite, his appearance is similar. However, he has a good deal more scarring than most elites, showing his combat prowess and its history. Scores of them criss cross the front and back as well as his limbs with a long vertical one at his left eye.

Weapon: His weapon is his Energy sword and his plasma rifle.

Armour: Rhta has a rather unique armour considering his ranking. It is purple in colour with intricate etching in silver all over the whole piece. It contains the same invisibility ability as all other elite armour as well as shielding. His helm is much more different, however. It is similarly purple with etchings, but it has a fancy rear swept wings at the back.

Personality: Smart, diligent and loyal defines Rhta. However, his loyalty lie not with the Covenant, but with his brothers. Rhta is a very compromising elite, willing to adapt and use unorthodox methods. His willingness to retreat strategically has often earned him contempt from his peers, even if the retreat led to a victory later on.

Brief History: Rhtas served faithfully in the Covenant navy as expected of most Elites. His battlefield prowess and his natural leadership pushed him further up the ranks until he became an honoured fleet master. Taking his fleet, Rhta battered the human's time and time again and now, his fleet accompanied the Prophet's ships above earth. He has been given the order of securing a human city on an island and he intend to see it done.

 

[Ironman]

Yo Tipsy, i have edited my age and Grenade load out as to how you requested it to be, hope its acceptable now.

 

[Tipsynaruto]

okay. it should be alright unless kevin spots something. So, right now, its

[Approved]

For all to note, the younger you are, the less experienced you are.
