In the Soldier's Eyes: Defend Earth! (Halo 2 interest/sign-up)
 

I tried this idea once with Halo 1, and it started out all right, but I found it was kinda hard to manage because there wasn't a lot the Marines did. In Halo two however, you can find them throughout mostly the entire game, so this RP would follow the lives of those brave souls that fought alongside the Master Cheif as he defended Earth. It would work a lot like it did last time, for those who who remember, we would be a platoon on Marines going through the game. If enough people want it, I may also do a thing with the Elites as well, but only if enough people want it. For now since I don't have a lot of time to think, this is an interest thread, but with enough people, I'll get the official sign-up sheet and everything.

Who's in?

Well, how about getting a real life Marine involved MC?

I was your co-GM last time out (and studious fact-checker) and i'm definetely here this time.

Well....You've got two MC.

Well... if you want a squad of three, I could get something up.

Better then nothing, plus perhaps if it starts out small, it might encourage a couple more to join in.

I guess I'm in as well.

Wow, we now got enough for a fire team of Marines.

All right, since we have enough people, Let's get this started!

You've seen the reports on the news. Master Chief, and a small group of Marines under Sergeant Johnson have come back from where ever the hell he went to; a place called Halo. You're still not too sure about its true effects though, but facts have been presented. A massive ring world weapon capable of wiping clean the entire galaxy? There are people who believe it to be true, there are others out there that make this all out to be some sort of sci-fi flick, it couldn't be true, right? It's almost as true as the covenant forces finding earth, right? ...Right?

You are part of a squad under the command of Capt. Miranda Keyes, daughter to the late Jacob Keyes, the one who commanded Master Chief on Halo. Stationed on the Cairo weapon defense system, you decided to catch a glimpse of this hero to mankind, watching him walk into the main chambers of Cairo when the warning bells starting ringing. This is where we come in: Defend Capt. Keyes and get onboard In Amber Clad and await further orders.

You're commanding officer:

Name: Lt. Markez “lucky” Risck

Appearance: 6’6’’ 275 lbs. dark skinned marine who wears the standard UNSC fatigues. He has a buzz cut with a thin, but noticeable beard around his lips.

Specialty?: He could be considered you’re army of one, knowing a little about a lot. If he was to pick his weapons though, watch up for him when he has a magnum and a rocket launcher or shotgun, codename: bitch. For highway driving, he likes to get behind the driver and take charge of the main gun of the warthog, especially if it’s the gauss cannon, codename: Mini-Mac gun.

Personality: He demands attention when he walks in a room, just due to stature, but he's really a down to earth guy, and very religious. He's strict as a leader, but he has a heart of gold that will radiate through his thick skin for his squadmates.

Description: Born and raised to fight, he grew up in the streets, and soon was forced to join the UNSC ranks. However, he climbed the ranks with alarming speed, and soon became a vital source to fight the Covenant. Listed to The Pillar Of Autumn, he received his final promotion to lead the Marines on it. He also knew of its importance, the Hushed Casket as it soon became called, containing the only SPARTAN left. Thinking that life was going to be easy for he and his troops, that wasn’t the truth when they got the call that they would be dropping on an alien ring world; Halo.

Interesting note: he is one of the few surviving marines that escaped Halo before Master Chief blew it to hell. Upon the confirmed termination of Capt. Keyes, Commander Gregor ordered a full scale retreat of all UNSC forces back to the Pillar of Autumn of Autumn and then the escape pods to get the hell off that planet. He got there with his squad and was able to take one deep breath before the entire ship was overrun with Covenant and Flood and he was forced to fight his way to the escape pods, already seeing some of them spent. There was only one choice left, and that was to take a gamble with a Long range fighter. Grabbing all the Marines he could, they made a final run down to the docking bays, many of the brave souls losing their lives in the hopes that some of them could live. Upon reaching the ship, he was able to get himself and one other, only because there was a pulse in the guy and he was over Risck’s shoulder onto the ship, complete with a pilot who was just gunning up the engines to make a break for the sun when a stray bullet caught him in the arm and neck. He had the strength however to get the ship up off the ground and into space, by some miracle. With the last of his breaths, knowing he was not going to make the trek back home, he taught Risck everything he would need to know to fly the thing. Then the pilot died. Setting a “Hail Mary” course to earth, he did his best to keep his companion alive, who also would perish on the shi. All hope seemed lost for Risck as days passed. He became deranged in a sense, as the lack of oxygen and companion drove him the brink, when one day he just feel asleep at the helm.

Upon waking up, he a bright light above his head, making it nearly impossible to open his eyes. That’s it… I’ve died. As he could hear an angel’s voice talk softly to him. “Are you ok? Take it easy, you’re safe now.”

He looked blankly into the light. “You… You’re voice is beautiful Angel.”

There was a slight chuckle as she replied, “I thank you kind sir, but I assure you, you are not dead.”

And thus it came to be. From what he gathered, he was saved from a stray UNSC ship that had picked up his signature and repeated distress call, and brought him upon their ship. He was extremely lucky they told him, their engines were offline for a while for maintenance, and they were just about to jump when they picked up his signal. They stopped the countdown brought him aboard their ship before he died, and brought him back home. To this day, Risck calls it a miracle, and that God had directed his path so that he may live. To others, well… there’s a reason why his nickname is “lucky.”

I'm not sure of the history, I'm gonna have to have Wolf take a look at that, but I'm pretty sure they didn't take prisoners and whatnot, but again; I'm not too sure, he'll give you the final word on that.

Second thing, and I'm really not trying to be mean, but you have to work a bit on your typing. Even if you just write up everything in Word and use spellcheck or something, because I had a hard time reading through that... just a note.

Edit: I've talked with my fact-man, and he says you have a green-light on the character. You're in.

Ok, I know about my bad typing. I am working on it. I was in a hurry when I was typing it out and I didn't bother doing spell check. I should have taken my time. Sorry about that. If you want me too I will go ahead and do a spell check.

KBM

Name: Sergeant Malcolm Fleming
Appearance: 5' 8", medium build and regular flesh-colored skin. Scars above left eye and a jagged scar across the chest.
Specialty: Sniping and airborne vehicle piloting.

Personality: A bit cocky yet relaxed and friendly

Background: An ODST Helljumper who managed to escape the destructive battle of Reach. Serving on the UNSC cruiser Andromeda when it was boarded, he and his Helljumper comrades defended the ship with everything they had.

Malcolm had set up a barricaded position from which to hit the oncoming Covenant with his sniper rifle. It had been going well, up until the point where an Elite managed to outflank him. He managed to turn around just before the Elite's plasma sword sliced across his chest, leaving a bloody furrow. In a rage, Malcom fired his sniper rifle before it slid from his grip. The shot blasted out the Elite's shield and shattered his armbone, causing him to drop the sword. The Elite drew his needler at the same time Malcolm drew his sidearm. Without the shield, one shot from the pistol was enough to drop the elite, but the elite fired a three-round burst from the needler. The first needle hit his chest plate, the second one hit his helmet, but the third lodged in his shoulder. The resultant needle detonations blew off his helmet and blew out his shoulder. Weakened by the loss of blood, Malcolm only had enough time to pocket the dead elite's plasma sword before passing out.

He later found himself in the medical bay, far away from Reach. Since then he has felt stronger, almost unbeatable since escaping his near brush with death, but he hasn't tricked himself to be thinking he's immortal.

In addition to being a sniper, Malcolm is also a backup pilot for air vehicles in the event the pilot is taken out. He is also no slouch at land driving either.

Weapons: stolen plasma sword, M2 Sniper Rifle, .50 caliber Pistol with 2x scope and an 8-round clip (custom design). Shotgun (sometimes carried in lieu of the sword)

Supplmental Data: Malcolm's black ODST armor has a jagged painted red slash across the torso representing the cut he received.

Well, we have four in this. It's a small group, but it's a group none the less. If no one else is in objection, I'll start this up either tomorrow night or sunday.

Ok so we are just waiting on you then.
