Name: Nathaniel Bressler
Nation Name: United Federation of Terrans
Birthplace: Quantico, Virginia
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Pic/Description:
Bresslerr stands at 6' 2 and has little excess fat on his body leaving only muscle and bones and their place to fill up his bear like stature. His graying hair is kept in the standard Marine Corps high and tight, and his facial hair is non-existent when circumstances allow for it. His body is a roadmap of all the ways the Covenant have tried to kill him; his left arm and lower neck have serious scarring from plasma burns caused by a Wraith's plasma mortar while his face has three scars running from the top left of his head all the way down to his right cheek courtesy of a Yanme'e drone. The injuries recieved from the drone caused Bressler to receive a flash cloned eye which unlike it's original dark grey, is an almost lightish blue color. Bressler also suffered from an energy sword to the chest which punctured one lung but missed his heart and spine by a miraculous feat.
His standard uniform is the regular standard issued ODST BDU's and armor with no identifying marks or customization of the armor. The only thing that sets him apart is the fact that he dislikes the standard ODST helmet and instead wears a black fatigue cap with Gunnery Sergeant chevrons sewn onto the front.
Age: 38
Rank: (Enlisted unless given permission) Gunnery Sergeant
Previous Assignments: Combat Engineer attached to MARSOC 12th Operation Regiment, 1st Battalion, 3rd Company; UNSC Medium Frigate: Resolution(Destoyed at Paris IV)
Personality (Optional):
Likes (Optional): Explosions, Heavy Weapons, Drop Pods, Reading
Dislikes (Optional): Space ships, Sangheili, and Officers
Fears (Optional): Space, Snakes and Scarabs
Combat Role: Combat Engineer/Engineer
Proficiency: When you look up Demolitions in the dictionary, his picture is there.
Bio: Nathaniel Bressler was born into a marine family in Quantico, Virginia at the marine post's local hospital. His parents deployed while he was young and were killed by an Insurrectionist bombing of their troop transport in Epsilon Eridani. Bressler was put into the UNSC Child Care Services and was shuffled through multiple families until he enlisted at the age of 17 in the UNSC Marine Corps and was selected for Demolitions training after boot camp due to his proficiency with the explosive portion of boot camp. After Demolition's training Bressler was selected for training in MARSOC where he underwent months of intense training and orbital maneuvers before being shipped off to war. Bressler then saw combat on multiple worlds against Covenant and Insurrectionist forces as a special forces operator attached to a unit dedicated to enforcing the Cole Protocol. For most of his military career Bressler's unit was sent into overrun territory and failed evac sites to ensure that no possible traces of Earth's location remained anywhere a job that was to be carried out through any means necessary; in fact Bressler's unit is credited with detonating a Havoc tactical nuclear warhead to destroy a wrecked destroyer that might have held a salvageable nav chip as well as the Covenant battalion shifting through the wreckage.
The Havoc Incident caused the unit to be rotated away from the front-lines for R-R to a nearby UNSC world known as Paris IV; The Resolution had just arrived near the planet when the Covenant arrived. Bressler's unit was quickly deployed dirt side to hold the aliens off from an evacuation site in a shipyard and to destroy the port's mainframes. For a few hours the marines held off a seemingly endless wave of grunts as shuttles took off to try to make their escape. However, this success brought the attention of a unit of Spec-Ops elites in the nearby area who were supported by heavy artillery in the form of Scarabs. The marines had no chance against the new hostiles and were decimated along with the evac site and the hundreds of civilians still trapped in the port. During the fighting Bressler was speared by an Elite's energy sword but miraculously survived albeit severely injured, which effectively put the marine out of commission for the rest of the massacre that ensured. Bressler was later evacuated by a UNSC Army company that had been decimated in an encounter with several Hunter pairs earlier in the battle. Bressler was evac'd to reach where he was treated for his wounds and recovered from them quickly in hopes of returning to the fight. However, the marine was not given the chance as he was instead given the slate of Drop Pod Instructor for the various new ODST volunteers that flooded into recruiting stations as the colonies began to dwindle; that was until an ONI agent handed the marine sealed orders to report to a classified ship with a classified mission.

Tagged for interest.
Seeing as how JAST has died peacefully, I'll get an app thrown together soon.

viewtopic.php?f=31&t=339444&hilit=Halo%3A+EclipseThere's the old thread.
Hopefully. No new posts for a while and I'm hoping it stays that way. Apparently one of the guys did post in OOC, but it was for a new RP he's planning, so I really don't care. I don't plan on continuing to post and would rather it go quietly into that good night.
It was a decent experiment, but I don't think I'm cut out for OPing at the moment.

Win some, lose some. I think you'd make a great OP. I mean, you're a great writer.

Funny, I wasn't entirely sure how interested you'd be in a Halo RP so the commander of Pulsar is named Deckard.

I could just change it. Not like he's a major character or anything. Just some added lore type stuff.
EDIT: And, changed.

BASIC
Name: Caroline Deckard
Nation Name: New Grestin
Birthplace: Eridanus II, Eridanus System
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Pic/Description:
Age: 29
Rank: Corporal
Previous Assignments:> Attached as DM for Marine Regiment on Sargasso
> 1st Battalion, 12th Marines - Epsilon Eridani system, Reach
Combat Role: Designated Marksman
Proficiency: Sniper Rifles
OPTIONAL
Personality:
Likes: Rifles / Old Movies / Silence / Literature
Dislikes: UNSC / Covenant / Heavy Weapons
Skills: Exceptional Marksman / High pain resistance / Extremely Patient
Fears: Scarabs / Stealth Sangheili
BIO
> Born in Elysium City in 2520 to Jackson and Helena Deckard. Both parents, whom were active members of the insurrectionist movement, were killed during a UNSC crackdown. Caroline was then raised by her grandparents until 2530, when Covenant forces glassed the planet. Though she escaped the attack, her grandparents and her remaining family were killed. At the age of 18, she enlisted in the Marines and underwent extensive marksman training. She graduated at the top of her class and was posted with a Marine regiment on Sargasso. The subsequent Covenant glassing of the planet left few survivors, with Caroline only narrowly avoiding death at the hands of the Covenant forces. She was, however, severely wounded during the battle by plasma fire. This left her back and left arm badly scarred, though she survived and would fight in various skirmishes against Covenant forces.
Her number of confirmed kills was what drew her into the BLACK Initiative, with her having eliminated multiple Sangheili Field Marshals and, in one instance, eliminating a Hunter with a single, well-placed shot. Despite the opportunity to work within ONI, Caroline still harbors some ill will towards the UNSC for her parent's deaths. She had little choice in joining the Initiative, however, as she wasn't particularly keen on what might happen if she said no.
RP EXAMPLES
> OUTBREAK: A Survival RP
> There's some others, but frankly, I can't be bothered to hunt down the link. I think we both know I'm solid.
Note: You'll forgive me if my information isn't 100% fool-proof. I'm still brushing up on Halo Lore and I wrote the majority of this while battling a headache. I can edit anything that might not be totally adherent to the Lore, but I think this should be fine.

Only a basic understanding is needed, such as what the Covenant is and things like that. Willing to give you an overview if you wish, but if you'd rather not the RP then feel free to stop by again if you change your mind.

Sounds good. Just basics would be good enough. Unlikely to delve into any obscure tidbits that only a handful are privy to knowing.
