Humanity is in a desperate struggle for survival. The Covenant have lead a path of destruction all the way to Earth. Despite being united under a single banner, Earth is in no way winning the war. The Covenant have began landing there forces on the planet, and more are killed every day.
However, there is still hope. You are a spartan, a genetically enhanced supersoldier capable of otherwise impossible feats. Though there are few of you one spartan can do what would take an entire brigade of marines. As long as a single spartan lives, there is still hope.
I tend to enjoy the roleplays where we all work together more than the ones where we fight, so I decided to have humanity united now. You can bring in any old characters, but if you decide to create a new one you'll need to make an application.
General roleplaying rules apply, although you do have more freedom to powerplay since you are in essence a walking tank.

Standard Assault Rifle: This is basically an upgraded version of a regular modern day assault rifle. Fully automatic, the definition of a spray-n-pray weapon. Shotgun: Old fashioned? No way, this gun's ammo can pierce any armour known to man, even twenty sheets of steel back to back. Sniper Rifle: The scope of this gun has been greatly enhanced to be able to see anything at a range of up to seven miles. Packing an extremely high caliber bullet, this is a true one-shot one-kill weapon. Plasma grenades: If you throw one of these on an alien it will stick to him, and well... Let's just say your battle armour will be a little stained. Energy sword: Yep, you hear me, a sword that can cut through ANYTHING. When an alien gets too close for comfort, draw this little thing and watch as body parts fly. Kaiser Shock Gun- A strong electrical based gun. Shoots a flurry of electricity, and the electrical bolts treated with some rad poisening, making it even better...or should I say deadlier. Yea, that would be a lot better word (> ). So, if you would like to see the aliens shaking uncontrolably before they die, then this is the gun you want. Weapon used with permission from taCAT Studios, Inc © Neuro-Particle Rifle: Shoots a particle beam consisting of deadly neuro-poisons. Useful againsted armored enemies and assassinations because it shoots a nearly invisible beam. About the only way to see the beam is to look through it, because if you look through it it causes a slight distortion on the other side. Delta Team helmet sensors and Infra-red scanners, as well as Distortion mode on the helmet goggles. Weapon used with permission from taCAT Studios, Inc © Designated Marksman Rifle: A variation of the standard of the standard Battle Rifle, the DMR as it is known to most is a semi-automatic rifle capable of dropping just about any man or alien. Magnum: This is the standard sidearm for most military personnel. For the Spartans however it has been heavily modified, now equipped a 5X magnification scope and removable silencer. Battle Rifle: The newest type of Rifle, its full name is a XZ-44 Battle Rifle. It shoots a heavy shot, and can shoot them every .98 seconds. It is powerful enough to level a Elite in three or four shots, something very few weapons can boast of. So, you want your enemies dropping like stone? Well, I'd, and maybe you'd, take this weapon. Weapon used with permission from taCAT Studios, Inc © Rocket Launchers: Great for destroying vehicles, building, and large groups of troops, these weapons have proven classics are the best. The blast affects anything in a ten meter radius, so be careful where you aim! Fuel Rod Cannons: A captured Cov. weapon, fuel rods are great for bombarding vehicles, infantry, and buildings. Once out of energy, they can't be reloaded, so it's a use and then chuck weapon.

Codename: Kat Codenumber (3 digits): 320 Appearance: Personality: Kat is extremely professional, and thus not very talkative unless it involves a mission. She is also very curious, something that generally gets her into trouble whether it be with command or the covenant. Weapons (limit of three): Kat carries two magnums, and an assault rifle. Specialty: Kat is one of, if not the best hackers the UNSC has. She has yet to find a system she cannot crack into one way or another. Brief History: Most of Kat's history is obscure, but it is known that she was born in France and abducted by the UNSC at the age of seven. She was one of the few members of her group who survived the augmentation program that all spartans go through, the other being Wolf, who she would develop a close friendship with. Despite being one of the best strategists and fighters the UNSC has at their disposal, she is often watched extremely closely by her superiors due to her curious nature. With Earth now under attack, she has been placed in Wolf's squad, and the other spartans under his command.

"Alpha team was dispactched to the town of Newgrove, they haven't checked in with command in the last 24 hours and have been declared MIA." Wolf said as he read through a report that had been sent to him. "So in other words," Kat said with a subtle French accent "Alpha team is dead and we'll probably be told to go in after them in a few hours, wonderful." Wolf laughed softly, but straightened up as their commanding officer walked in. He was an admiral in the UNSC fleet, but due to the fact that most of it had been destroyed he was now serving as an officer on the ground. "You and your squad are to head to Newgrove in two hours; find out what happened to Alpha Squad and make sure the town is secure. Although, it seems your second in command here already knows what happened," he said as he looked with obvious disdain at Kat.
"It's good to see you again too, admiral. I was worried you might have gone down with the ship and the rest of your crew like an actual soldier, but I'm glad to see you took the cowards way out," she said. "Any other time and you would have been shot for insubordination years ago Kat," the admiral said as he walked out of the room. "Kat you need to watch yourself, if we win this thing he wouldn't be a good enemy to have," Wolf said as he resumed cleaning his DMR. "Maybe, but by the end of this war at least one of us will be dead." Kat said as she looked at the otehrs spartan(s) ((you)). "Makesure you've got plenty of ammo, I doubt we'll have the luxury of having an ammo dump at this town," she said.

Spartan 734 leaned against the wall as he quietly listened, rifle in hand. He stood at attention as the officer entered the room and donned a look of disgust as Kat spoke to the officer. Of course it was concealed by his visor but he almost wished it wasn't. The command structure was in place for a reason, disrespect to superiors gained little even when in the proper situation. "Of course. Even so, we could always improvise." he said before leaving the room and heading down to the armory to stock up on some extra rounds and grenades.

*Super awesome 1 hour time-skip*
An hour later the three spartans were in the same room as before, but now it had an entire tactical layout of Newgrove. "Alpha team activated their distress signal here," Wolf said as he pointed toward a small red dot on the map. "In their last radio transmission the leader of Alpha was in the middle of a standard report when we heard some Covenenant scream and he ended the transmission. We don't know if they're still alive, and we don't know how many Covenant are in the area."
"That was an elite yelling before the transmission cut, which means they might still be alive. Unlike Brutes they're known to take prisoners, so there's a chance they're being held somewhere. However, this could easily be a trap to take out even more spartans," Kat said as she spun one of her magnums around her finger in an effort to relieve how bored she was.

Pika had returned to the room with extra ammo attached to his belt. He looked on silently as Wolf explained the situation that Alpha team was in and the layout of Newgrove. He wondered why there hadn't been any reconisance conducted but decided that was something that he could keep to himself. The spartan leaned against the wall softly to avoid damaging the rifle strapped to his back. "Well if it is a trap we should get there quickly to prevent any additional Covenant preparations." he said, eager to rescue Alpha team.
