Covenant-A Halo RP(OOC/Signups/Open)

Postby New Panti » Thu Apr 25, 2013 7:10 pm

The year is 2524 CE. Bloody insurrection has the Outer Colonies of UEG-controlled space in the grip of chaos. The UNSC has attempted to contain it, to no avail. But another, far more powerful threat is approaching. The Covenant are coming, and no one expects them.

The first part of the RP will focus on the Insurrection, and after first contact with the Covenant, will jump to the midst of the Harvest Campaign in 2527, then will jump to 2550 and the closing years of the Human-Covenant War. While applications for Spartans will be allowed, only a certain number of applications for them will be accepted. This will be a character-driven RP focusing on the men and women who vow to defend humanity from the Covenant onslaught. Co-OP is Egg Patio.

Rules:
1. The word of the OPs are law.
2. No godmodding, power playing, etc.
3. Please try to be realistic and don't just make your character a bone-dry killer.
4. Swearing is allowed in the IC, but please refrain from swearing in the OOC.

IC: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=238610

App:

Name of Nation:
Character name:
Age:
Branch of service(Marine Corps, Navy, etc.):
Type of soldier:Regular Marine, ODST, etc.):
Rank:
Preferred weapons:
Physical description(pictures are allowed and encouraged):
Bio:
RP example:

Here's mine:

Name of Nation: New Panti
Character name: Mark-073
Age: 18
Branch of service: UNSC Special Forces
Type of soldier: SPARTAN-II
Rank: Staff Sergeant
Preferred weapons: MA37 ICWS, M392 DMR, M6D PDWS
Physical description: Dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, light skin, 6'6", very well-built
Bio: Mark was born in 2509 to a dying mother and a laissez-faire type father. He was forced to fend for himself in the uncivilized jungles of Arcadia and at the age of 8 he was abducted for the SPARTAN-II program. He has been training on Reach ever since, but has recently been deployed to the Outer Colonies to gain experience fighting rebels before the augmentation procedures slated to begin in 2525.

Tagged, tagged, Tagged. Super interesting. Could I be a Navy admiral, or is that too much? Or even an AI...though that's probably pushing it more. :P

Is there a reason you took your character straight out of Halo: Evolutions?

Oh and why do we need a Nation name? All the colonies are united under the UEG, they are one empire (that's what it is pretty much), one nation.

Anyways, I'll keep an eye on this. I may apply in the future.
IC Stuff:
This nation does NOT represent my real life views.
The FT Nation Index, making it easier for FT players to connect.

OCC Stuff:
Pro: Everything you hate
Con: Everything you love
Info: Straight Hispanic Male, Canadian. Speaks fluent Spanish and English, and some French. If you speak French, I'd love to have someone to practice with, even if it is just typing. Same deal with Spanish.

I couldn't come up with a character, and I didn't think anyone would notice :p
And by nation name I mean the name of your main NS nation.

Edit: There, I changed my app.

A Navy admiral would be more acceptable than an AI, but I'll have to think about it.

Would it be ok to make two characters?
One for the beginning, then have her killed in the Human-Covenant War and replaced by her daughter?
Generation 29 (The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation. Social experiment.)
Come to the Communist side, we have Cookies Wheat
I take boring you to a whole new level!
Never mistake my IC nation for communism. think of it as Zepism, something unique and terrifying

Huh, I didn't even think of that to be honest, but yeah, a little bit.

Yeah, you can be an admiral. But could you start off as a captain then when we jump to the Harvest Campaign become an admiral?

Something I just wanted to bring up about Pragia's app: the MA5C, M6D, and M90CAWS had not been developed by 2524.

Yeah, sure.

Character name: Jef Hummell
Age: 35
Branch of service(Marine Corps, Navy, etc.): Navy
Type of soldier:Regular Marine, ODST, etc.): Ship Captain
Rank: Captain
Preferred weapons: MA5B(in a pinch), M6B
Physical description(pictures are allowed and encouraged): 5'10". The captain has a short brown haircut and keeps himself clean shaven.
Bio: Hummell was born on Harvest to a family of reluctant colonists. His father had wanted to serve the UNSC as a Marine but was crippled early in his life, preventing him from fulfilling his dream. His mother, though also pursuing a military career, withdrew to take care of him.

They encouraged young Jef to be a Marine, but he became more interested in ships and the Navy. He trained to become a naval officer and rose through the ranks to command his own ship.

I'm thinking I could drop ODSTs or SPARTANs to deal with the rebels.

Just posted about dropping Spartans, but could drop ODSTs if the ODST players want to drop off the Dream.
