Reach: Remember
Halo Roleplay
Story
Everyone always says, "Remember Reach", unfortunately, not everyone would be remembered for their actions. Our story is one of just one such group. Meet Team Delta, one of the few who took the fight to the Covenant. In the days to the Covenant attack on Reach, Team Delta had been on routine training exercises on one of the orbital platforms that reach high into the atmosphere of Reach, learning to manuever and fight in a zero-G environment. As their training was drawing to a close, their platform was among the first to receive reports of the Covenant armada that attacked. Team Delta was re-assigned orders and duties, instead going to secure one of Reach's many MAC guns stationed on the planet itself.
And they would do just that, fighting all they way to a near-by Halo to do so! Welcome to Team Delta. It's about time we lived up to our name!
Important!
Team Delta is a team of SPARTAN III's, charged with tasks regular forces are unable to complete. I'm a little picky about who I accept in any RP, so if you don't know much about SPARTAN's early life/training, I'll summarize what I know below (which I just read).
-Potential SPARTAN's are chosen based on their genetics. They are kidnapped at the age of 6 and replaced by a flash clone, which always dies shortly thereafter due to complications related to flash cloning an entire human being.
-SPARTAN's can be male or female, and are brought up in a very militaristic manner. They are highly educated and harshly trained, even brutally. Their last names are taken away and deleted, and replaced with a number which corresponds with their documentation. (They've actually got a list of every single one, so for the purpose of this RP lets just pretend that list doesn't exist. Choose a number between 001 and 150. Just not 117, because, well, I said so.)
-SPARTAN's are physically augmented with their exoskeleton armor, and most don't survive. Augmentation is done at age 14.
-SPARTAN's don't blend in with a crowd. They are tall, heavily built and just don't fit in. I read that only one guy could be described as able to fit into a crowd. For that reason, I expected everyone tall and musclie.
-On a final note, your SPARTAN must be 27 years old. Every SPARTAN in Delta was abducted and trained at the same time and have a powerful bond. Your birthday can be anytime, however. Not that it matters, anyway. I imagine your Conscription Date of Date of Augmentation would be more important. Or, perhaps, the anniversary of the Team Delta creation.
-It is said that SPARTAN's value Reach over Earth, because Reach is their home. It's where they were taken and trained.
Rules
.:: 1 ::. No god-moding. That's actually why I wrote that little bit above. All of that are within a SPARTAN's abilities, but that doesn't mean you're invincible. Get shot, deplete your shield and take cover until it recharges. I would say miss shots, but you're a ********' SPARTAN, so perhaps just be slightly less bad-a** with weapons you don't specifically train with.
.:: 2 ::. Violence is absolutely necessary. How else do you expect to hitch a ride on a Covenant ship and battle your way through wave after wave of ugly aliens to reclaim a valuable piece of Intel before it can be decrypted and your world be destroyed?
.:: 3 ::. You will die. Before you join, I want you to know that. Your character will not survive. They may very well survive long enough to complete their mission, but this is a one way trip to Valhalla. You will die, and your actions will be forgotten. However, you will die knowing you saved your world.
.:: 4 ::. Romance. . . You know, I'm really not sure what I think about this in a Halo RP. I mean, SPARTAN's are just humans. . . I'll go with, romance is allowed, but not necessary. Also, nothing detailed. Seriously, bro, you'll get banned. Don't.
.:: 5 ::. Profanity is perfectly acceptable. Curse as much as you like, even excessively. It's you who'll look like a retard. Be your own censor.
.:: 6 ::. Profiles are to be filled out completely and PM'd to myself titled, "Remember".
.:: 7 ::. If you join, post. Abandoned characters will be puppeted to their deaths. As such, a lead of absence must be announced.
.:: 8 ::. If you post, do so correctly. Yeah, there is a correct way to post. The first and most important rule to posting, is literacy. Spell correctly, use proper grammar and proper punctuation. If you don't type the way you see here, then leave, cause if you're writing ability is sub-par, you will be puppeted to death.
.:: 9 ::. This is a note on posting length. In my RP's, I do not have a required minimum or maximum. I believe length doesn't matter, the content does. Quality over quantity. Writers should catch the readers attention and hold it. If your posts don't do that and they're really long, it's boring as s**t. If you only need to post a few lines, just post a few lines. If a ten paragraph finaly for your characters death is necessary, then by all means, do it!
.:: 10 ::. Follow the rules and the story line. Side-quests may be introduced later on during the RP.

Profiles
Profiles are to be filled out completely. If I don't like something, I will let you know.
[b]Username:[/b]
[b]Name:[/b] [First name] - [Number between 001-150, 117 is restricted.]
[b]Age:[/b] 27
[b]Gender:[/b] Male or Female
[b]Role:[/b] Demolition, Intelligence (hacking, communications, etc), Sniping (Just saying, I'm going to be strict on Sniper profiles. If it's good, you have nothing to worry about. If it's poor, it won't be accepted.), Heavy Weapons, Engineer/Medic
[b]Appearance[/b]
[b]-Height:[/b] I'd say 6'0+, but not more than 7'0.
[b]-Weight:[/b] 200 lbs+ seems reasonable.
[b]-General Description:[/b] Avoid "gorgeous" and "handsome". You're warriors, your body is torn and used. Slightly attractive, maybe. Could have been handsome, sure. I don't want any pretty boys or super models.
[b]Armor[/b]
[b]Armor Appearance:[/b]you could use a written description. If you choose to write a description, you have much more freedom (and it's less work).
Armor Ability: I know in the game, armor abilities could be switched. However, here, they cannot. You must choose one.
-Active Camo: Allows the user to conceal themselves, so long as they move slowly and do not attack. Once depleted, takes a short while to recharge.
-Armor Lock-up: The user goes into a crouch, as their shields over-charge, allowing a period of temporary invincibility. Once sufficiently charged, an EMP depletes all near-by shields (including friendlies).
-Drop Shield: The user generates a bubble shield which stops all in-coming and out-going attacks. However, it is possible for people (an aliens) to move freely in and out of it.
-Hologram: User generates a hologram that runs forward in a straight line, primarily used to draw fire.
-Jet-pack: User is equipped with a jet-pack which allowed them to fly for a period of time.
Sprint: While all SPARTAN's can sprint, the armor upgrade allows the user to sprint faster for a period of time.
