New Hong Kong, Inner Colony

The year is 2547. Humanity and its colonies are at war with the fanatical collective of alien races called the Covenant. Hundreds of Planets and billions of lives have been lost. Every day, the threat of humanities extinction draws ever so closer. The Inner Colony of New Hong Kong is going to be the next target in the Covenants culling of humanity. A fact unknown by its human defenders of the New Hong Kong Defense Fleet. Covenant luminaries have shown the planet to be in the possession of a forerunner artifact. The Covenant Fleet of Righteous Piety has been dispatched to the planet to collect this relic and annihilate any human presence on the planet.

New Hong Kong is a thriving Inner Colony. Colonized in 2428 by Chinese settlers, the planet has grown to a population of 493,142,039 people. It's vast ocean has lead to a booming fishing industry, while its two moons, Chang'e and Su'e, have huge titanium deposits. The southern continent is made up of grasslands and rural communities while the northern continent is full of bustling cities and forests. It is also the site of a UNSC weapons testing facility. The facility is currently building the parts prototype of a massive new Warship, the Yamato-Class Battlecruiser. The project is run by its creator, Ivan Kaminkov. The project is a rival to the infinity, but is under threat of being cancelled due to funding and resources.

Jean-Luc 'Red' Poe
Species: Human
Gender/Sex:Male
Appearance: Red hair, surprisingly no freckles, 6 foot 7
Rank: Captain
Military Branch:UNSC Navy
Equipment: A classic pistol, nothing more, and he rarely loads it.
Skills: Naval warfare and leadership.
Weaknesses: He doesn't mind losing a ship, or two, or eight if it means winning that battle.
Bio: Born on earth, in a small French city, Jean-Luc, always wanted to be in the navy. He first aspired to be a marine in the UNSC but his parents both served in the navy. Seeing his father become an admiral inspired him to follow in his footsteps. His mother on the other hand, was injured in a small unnamed skirmish with the covenant, and was discharged after getting decorated.

Soon after, right out of the academy, Jean-Luc worked hard up the chain of command. By the time he was 25, he was a first officer on a flagship of a small fleet. He soon took charge of the ship after the captain was killed by a covenant boarding party. The human fleet was heavily outnumbered, but with the Flagship under Poe's command, they started dispatching one covenant ship after another. Due to his exemplary experience, he was given his own ship. He was recently assigned to the New Hong Cong defense fleet, on the USS Dixie, an Epoch-class Heavy Carrier
RP Sample: Both of the Amerigos RPS

Personality: A fierce fighter, and will do everything to take as many covenant ships down with him.
Likes: UNSC, A loyal crew, a dead covenant soldier.
Dislikes: Disloyalty, mutiny, Covenant, and cowards.
Theme song: Ride of the Valkyries
Voice: A Clint Eastwood type voice, somehow.

Maaka "Old Maori" Britton

Species:Human
Gender/Sex:Male

Military Branch: UNSC Navy
Equipment: Standard UNSC Naval work uniform, M6C magnum (Halo 2 pistol)
Skills: Defensive Operations, Naval Tactician
Weaknesses: Offensive Operations, Moas (Don't ask)
Bio:
Maaka "Old Maori" Britton was born to a wealthy family in Aukland, New Zealand in 2490. While his sibling were ready to live comfortable lives, Maaka opposed the idea of living the high life. Despite the wishes of his parents, he enlisted in the UNSC Navy at the age of 18. Doing this made him the black sheep of the family, but he didn't care. Maaka was right at home on the Star ships of the UNSC. When contact was made with the Covenant in 2525, Maaka was the captain of his own ship, a Charon-Class Light Frigate "Osiris". During the Battle of Groombridge 1830, a pyrrhic victory for the UNSC. Osiris severely damaged by a Covenant warship. The Ship crash landed on the surface of the planet. Maaka and 50 members of his crew were the only survivors. When Covenant forces came to kill any survivors, Britton and the survivors fought back and held out for 3 days before they were rescued.

The hold out had made Maaka a legend. Earning him the nickname "Old Maori". Engagement after engagement thrusted him through the ranks and gained him a reputation for holding the line until it is no longer possible. Fastforward to 2547 and Britton has been promoted to Rear Admiral and put in charge of the New Hong Kong Defense Fleet, Commanding the Flagship "Saladin". While most of his fellow commanders dread the day they have to fight the Covenant again, Maaka is prepared to hold the line once again.

BIO
Born on the world of Harvest, Micheal was a 5 when it was overrun by the Covenant and barely escaped it's destruction. He stowed away on the last civilian ship to leave reach after his family left him behind to witness the destruction of their home, friends and family at the hands of the Covenant. He ran to the nearest village and found it was the same way. So he gathered enough food and gear to make it to one of the evacuation points. He was picked up outside of Gladsheim by UNSC Marines after two days of hiking and hiding from Covenant Patrols. Upon entering Gladsheim the squad that rescued him was ambushed by Hunters and Michael barely escaped. He made it to one of the life boats that was going off world and stowed away in the cargo bay before it lifted off. He was found mid-flight and managed to evade 4 of the crew members before getting grabbed by the ship captain. He spent the next 13 years planet hopping before enlisting with the UNSC Marines. He demonstrated great skills with comms and hacking but he developed an unusual knack for explosives and blowing stuff up. Accidentally destroying the Mess Hall while in Basic, he was predestined to take up a shotgun and be sent to the thick of the fighting to do one job. Blow stuff up., but instead he was contracted as an Intelligence Officer for the Office of Naval Intelligence. He spend 5 years in ONI working with in the Eclipse unit, before being discharged and sent back into the regular UNSC Marine Corps as a Master Sergeant and back to being a Combat Engineer. He was stationed on New Hong Kong as his first official assignment though he has a feeling ONI might come calling again.

Nia Al-Fulani
Species:Human

Military Branch(Disregard if not Human): UNSC Navy

Nia was born on Mars in the city of Ganymede in 2523. Her mother was a ODST while her father had a simple government job. When war broke out, her mother was one of the first pods dropped during the battle of Hat Yai. During the battle, she was severely injured and lost her right arm. She was taken off the frontlines and given a teaching role back on Mars for ODST recruits, much to the relief of Nia's father. Fast forward to 2541. On her 18th birthday, Nia told her parents that she was going to be a pilot in the UNSCDF. While her mother was supportive her decision, her father was adamantly opposed to it. Fearing that she would be maimed like her mother or worse. Despite her Father's wishes, she enlisted in the UNSC Navy as a pilot. Causing a rift in her family. While she still has regular contact with her Mother, her father has refused to speak to her since she enlisted.

Her time as a pilot has been a rather successful one. Over the course of her career, she has scored 15 Banshee kills and 5 Seraph kills and 4 Phantom kills, making her a flying Ace. She has qualifications for a variety of air vehicles, ranging from the Longsword, Bumblebee Lifepods, Pelicans, and Sparrow Hawks. She has even been recommended for the Sabre project and is just waiting for the paperwork to go through.
