2562
It's 2562. The Human-Covenant war is long over, almost a decade in fact, but trouble is still very, very present. To start, the Insurrection, and more specifically, the United Rebel Front (URF) has begun to rekindle its insurgencies, and many UNSC-aligned CENTCOM and HIGHCOM officials have defected in light of the Covenant no longer being a threat. The URF is stronger than ever, with more supplies and manpower than previously thought. It carries with it a strong propaganda source, blaming ONI for the destruction of countless worlds, and even going so far as to claim cooperation between the UNSC and the Covenant in destroying former rebel worlds that had since been glassed.

As expected, ONI SECTION II had retaliated plenty. The URF had been the source of numerous attacks from staged news leaks of terrorism, though they had mainly been facing their attacks on UNSC facilities, with little damage to civilian areas. ONI, in recent memory, has begun to act as a more nefarious department than it already was, and rumors have even spread of certain sections having units dressing in Insurrection uniform and acting like terrorists, in a supposed attempt to make the URF look less like a force for independence and more like a radical band of murderers.

Because of this, the UNSC is beginning to look more like the bad guy. Despite fighting off the Covenant not five years ago, civilian sources have already been branding the UNSC a so-called 'Military State'. Riots, both peaceful and violent, have often been ending in bloodshed on both civilian and UNSC sides. SECTION II is desperately trying to improve the image of ONI and the UNSC, but even now HIGHCOM and the UEG have been plotting to shut down ONI altogether to save the military organization from greater scrutiny.

Alien allies have also been separating themselves from the UNSC in an attempt to not cause another war, as many within their jurisdiction have been bringing up the thought of eliminating UNSC once and for all, while they are weak and distracted. The future of humanity looks bleak, with the possiblity of another Interplanetary War, and militant organizations sprouting up everywhere.

ONI SECTION III and 'other divisions' have since been sending covert teams to non-UNSC planets in order to snuff out rebellions, with huge effect. The demoralizing news of entire rebel groups being eliminated in the matter of weeks has stalled URF efforts to start a war.

As such, we are at a stalemate.

Even more recently, a former operative of ONI SECTION III, thought successfully 'disappeared' by high-ranking officers, has been rumored to still be breathing. Part of Section III's Delta-Four division, she once led a counterterrorism unit known as WOLVERINE, and in the later years of Jul 'Mdama's rebellion had been sent against alien and human elements alike. Both a war veteran and an experienced operative during the early stages of the new URF push, she was at risk to defect and SECTION III thought it best to put her down.

Clearly, that plot didn't work. And now a new team is being formed, Fireteam ANUBIS, to supposedly finish the job. However, word is that the UNSC would like to attempt to bring her back to their side, continuing the fight against the URF, and vice versa for the rebel cells scattered throughout space.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LINK ESTABLISHED
BRIEFING UPLOADED
Starting...
You are a member of Fireteam ANUBIS, a special forces group hailing from all branches. Your mission is to find and kill a defected operative originally thought dead, with a secondary, and very optional objective of bringing her back alive. She's a war vet, and ONI SECTION III, so this is not going to be an easy task. Mortality expected. Anubis is expendable.
Name and serial number of operative to follow:
Wellington, Sarah
03523-42193-SW

Presumed location:
New Reach, Eridanus System.
--------------------------------------------
NAME
Sarah Wellington, AKA "Red", +20 Alias(s)
AGE
28 (excluding cryo)
BRANCH/UNIT
UNSCMC, ODST, ONI SIII-D4, Disavowed
BACKGROUND/PERSONALITY
Sarah was born 4/19/2510 4/19/2535 on Harvest Tribute at the height of the Human-Covenant war. Forced to evacuate at an early age, she lost contact with her parents and grew up in foster homes and orphanages, mainly on Reach and managed to join the UNSC Marine Corps at the age of 16 with several lies and forged documents. Throughout the years as a Marine, she was a decorated soldier, specifically in a sniper division with experience in explosives, and soon decided to join the ODSTs after the destruction of most of her unit following the Fall of Reach. Her skills in the ODSTs brought the attention of ONI, and soon enough she had been recruited to SECTION III, continuing with WOLVERINE before inexplicably disappearing. She has been hiding out since then.

Sarah is a bit of an enigma, and all records of her psychological reports show details of borderline PTSD and discomfort when talking to superiors, specifically ones lacking combat experience. This shows in spite, or perhaps suspicion. Nonetheless, Sarah is a decorated veteran, with numerous medals and commendations, all stripped of her record as of 2560 (disavowed). She suffers from a missing left arm, which has been supplemented by a replacement prosthetic, state of the art, courtesy of ONI prior to removal from commanding role of WOLVERINE.
APPEARANCE
Red hair, green eyes, athletic frame, left arm is prosthetic, starting from the shoulder, surgical implants in voicebox to allow for speech (after combat injury in 2549). Hair may be artificially altered in color/other physical features may be hidden to conceal identity. Facial recognition software strongly advised.
SKILLS
Expert rating in marksmanship
Intermittent knowledge of explosive devices
SERE, ONI training
Hand-to-hand combat
GEAR
Unknown, LIKELY:
1 M6C/SOCOM sidearm
1 prosthetic limb, enhanced strength
Stolen gear from ONI, exact descriptions CLASSIFIED
Light, concealable body armor

Alright guys, this is a Halo RP through and through. I'll be playing the part of Wellington, she's a very dear character of mine that I've used in the past, and this is definitely not going to be anything lore-friendly to 343's stuff. You're allowed to be just about any unit except for ORION (just cause they'd be super old) and SPARTAN II, and the character template is as follows:

NAME
Boop
AGE
Boop
BRANCH/UNIT
Boop
BACKGROUND/PERSONALITY

Don't have to flesh it out too much, but if you're still interested after this RP, I'm always down to do some more. If there's any questions, ask!

I'd like to get four (not including me) people in here, but if I have to, I'll be your third, too!

This looks like it might be good, I'll make a character for it! :)

Are Spartan IVs allowed, or are they also out with the IIs and IIIs?

IVs are allowed! I would have allowed IIIs and IIs, but since there's so few I thought it best to just move to the new generation, even though I don't like IVs too much..

NAME
Nathaniel "Nathan/Nate" J. Mills
AGE
31
BRANCH/UNIT
Spartan IV
BACKGROUND/PERSONALITY
Born on Reach in 2531, Nathaniel Mills joined the Marines at age 17, getting a waiver signed off by his parents. He immediately enlisted in the ODST branch of the Marine Corps and by the time of his eighteenth birthday he was a member of 7th Shock Trooper Division. He fought in three campaigns against the Covenant over the next year before being reassigned to Fireteam Delta-Three, a special assignment ODST team. During this time his fireteam was attached to different Marine Divisions helping with numerous combat operations across UNSC space.

Nathan was on Reach for R&R when Winter Contingency was declared. He immediately reported to the nearest UNSC base for orders and was sent into the fray, participating in the Battle of Szurdok Ridge. Eventually, Nathan would once again link up with Delta-Three, and they proceeded to help with the evacuation of Reach, retreating back to the Sol System. Nathan's team would aid in defending Earth from the Covenant invasion and would assist in the push to Voi with the Master Chief and several other UNSC assets. After the activation of the portal, Nathan would fall back from the Flood infestation and would later join the strike force that left to join the battle at Installation 00, participating in the Battle of the Citadel.

After the war, Nathan would volunteer to join the Spartan-IV program with the rest of Delta-Three. Together with his team, they would participate in the First and Second Battles of Requiem.
SKILLS
Piloting, hand-to-hand combat, firearms, demolitions, smash-and-grabs
GEAR
Mjolner Gen II Armor, Operator Helmet w/Sunspot Visor, Centurion chest and shoulders; MA5D; M6H; Combat Knife

@Herrith not sure if this was too much, let me know if you want less! xD

Looks fine to me, no such thing as too much detail...

So I need a quick answer:
Wanna wait for one more or start this off with this being a three man fireteam? We can always add more if they come on in.

Okie, I'll just wait then. If It's all good, I'd ask if Project ORION individuals would be allowed.

Come on in! I'm gonna be iffy on ORION individuals, since most are canon. I don't want to be mean, but in my opinion it won't be fair to the people I've restricted SPARTAN-IIs and IIIs from as well.

As much as I hate IVs, those are the Spartans I'm allowing. But if you really want to make an ORION character, just know he's gonna be really old, and I'll be sure to look at your character submission, whatever it is.

Thanks!

Yeah, realistically he'd probably be like 70+

@Herrith, should have let us be Spartan IIIs :P

I might reconsider it...however that'd mean redoing this whole thing.

Next thread you can magically teleport and become a III, then...

I'll edit the thing, you've changed my mind.
