Just before I go to sleep, I thought I'd gather opinions on the Commandos. Right now (and last round, as well), we're having VT9 Insurrection with Commandos, and I'd say (atleast for last round), we're doing pretty good. So, I'd just like to see what the public answer to a couple questions. Reply with your answers.


-Are the Commandos distinct enough from the ODST to be their own, distinct thing, and not just a shitty ripoff?

-Are the Commandos balanced, atleast comparing to the ODSTs?

-Is the Commando armor balanced and not an unkillable colossus?

-What do you thing of the Commandos in general and will they change regular rounds drastically?

-Do you like the commandos?

-What do you think can be improved for the Commandos in the future?

Thank you for anyone who takes their time to answer. This is pretty important and we need to make sure we're a good addition, once we're added to the server

Character(s): 
Lucia Camillus - Eridanus Commando

Johnathan Texus - ODST
Texus Red - URF Captain/Machinegunner
Syndie King - Civilian Pilot
Shane White - ONI Researcher
Flapflap - UNGGOY DEACON OF THE HOLY CHURCH OF NAR-SIE!!!



How does your character interact with the world around them and the people in it?:
Marine - Enemy combatants of course! Until they are taken down and cuffed, they will be treated as a threat. However once captured they are potential recruits - Lucia's personality will change from her uncaring one to a slightly nicer version in order to gain trust, her young age will likely help with this - maybe.

ODST - Honorable combatants of the enemy side, they might be pigs, but at least some of them are worthy of Lucia's time. Lucia will likely engage these foes with ruthless fury, however if there is a chance to capture, this is always a better then the alternative. Captured ODST's will be brought out to an open space, and will either be thrown a knife or will be engaged with hand to hand. If the ODST is beaten - she will likely try one last attempt at recruitment, if that doesn't work, an honorable death will be delivered.

Civilian - Chained people of the UEG that deserve freedom! Will stop at nothing to free as many as possible!

Covenant - Due to the glassing of Eridanus II, Lucia views the Covenant as vile creatures that should shove their Great Journey where the sun doesn't shine. Enemy combatants will be killed on sight or otherwise captured for study. Either way she'll be sending the researchers something to study.


Provide a brief description of your character:
Lucia is young, brash and extremely zealous in her efforts to free the oppressed and downtrodden held down by the United Earth Government's boot and its watchdog, the United Nation Space Command. She would rather die gloriously in battle then being captured by the UNSC, but if events ever did lead up to her capture, she would follow the Commando handbook and try to fishtail the her interrogators into believing that she could be an asset, using her young age to her advantage. Due to growing up under the URF banner, she knows nothing else but war and thus is generally very uncaring in most regards, if she hasn't died yet, she's gonna continue to push her luck.

Character(s): 
Roberto Conrad(URF Engineer): A URF Bomb making crazy cowboy, one way to describe him. His stability is questionable, but you gotta admit.. he puts on one heck off a fireworks show. 

Octavius Minerva(Commando):  One angry sun'uva'bitch, a commando making his mark in this world as a force not to be reckoned with, hoping when his name is mentioned it strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies

How does your character interact with the world around them and the people in it?:

UNITED REBEL FRONT: Any member of the Untied Rebel Front is family to Octavius, A brother in arms fighting a good cause. Treated with respect on par to fellow commandos. 

UNITED NATIONS SPACE COMMAND: The opposition, whilst fought viciously against. They are brave.. And that is to be respected. Whilst a strong hate is felt. Respect is also shown, for their bravery. Recruitment is a priority as their loyalty may be lacking towards the UNSC, persuasion tactics is used against them to convert them.
 
ORBITAL DROP SHOCK TROOPERS:  The elite forces of the UNSC, honour is shown to them, however respect is only shown to an extent. Many brothers have fallen to their rifle. Avenging them is a big accomplishment to Octavius.. But recruitment is an even bigger one.

NON-COMBATANTS: Elderly, wounded, doctors, nurses all have a pass in Octavius' books, however those who are able to assist the rebellion should be doing so, whether its a child preforming errand runs, or young men and woman joining up to fight another day. Everyone should do their part.

COVENANT: Whenever contact is made with the Covenant, Octavius will see them as vile beings, however observation of their combat and technology, will bring out the upmost respect for them. Seen as a worthy opponent

Provide a brief description of your character:

Personality: Octavius is an irrational man, reasoning with him and his choices might as well be forgotten about, he's very rash in his speech and thoughts making conversations with him either awkward or extremely truthful. He is a man of intellect and war.. Tactics one could say, hence him taking the last name of Minerva, the god of war and intellect... Well.. He see's his way of thinking to be intellectual..   


Apperance:

A grizzled looking man, seemingly in their mid-thirties. They appear to have an impressive physique accompanied with a not so impressive tone. They have faded blue eyes, clearly worn out and losing what bit of colour they have left.  Their hair is quite messy, a dark greyish colour with a 5-O-Clock shadow whacked across their face, their facial expression is a mix of disgust and hatred. (generic dogtag info here)

Character(s):
 
Cassie Sarion – An Ex-ONI, turned Insurrectionist fighter. Harsh, yet fair.
 
Kiera Wilson – Young Insurrectionist Pilot. Rather bitchy.
 
Carrie Hartigan – Colonist, just trying to make a good living.
 
 
How does your character interact with the world around them and the people in it?: Cassie tends to keep a low profile, speaking briefly and quietly if she must. It does, truly depend who she speaks to that defines how she speaks to them.
 
Members of the United Nations Space command – Treated with great caution, and to always expect betrayal.
 
Orbital Drop Shock Troopers – Treated with a modicum of respect, typically a great threat, and should not be underestimated.
 
Members of the United Rebel Front – Treated with respect. Do well by them, they will do well by you.
 
United Rebel Front Commandos – Treated with a high level of respect. The elite.
 
Civilians – Treated fairly, never engaging in hostilities unless required.
 
Covenant – While unlikely to encounter them, she would treat them as respect – due to the clearly highly advanced technology. While, of course, remaining extremely wary of them.
 
Provide a brief description of your character:
 
Dark blue eyes, with long, but tied back hair. A heavily burnt face, due to her Pelican being shot down years before.
Typically quite friendly, though this is usually just a hoax, to lull people into a false sense of security. An old pair of tags hang around her neck, along with a ring, and an old ID, from her days with ONI. She’s harsh, too, if in command, but will always try to get her teammates out alive.
 
Do you understand that members of this whitelist are held to a higher standard of roleplay?: Of course.
 
Do you understand that if your behavior is deemed inappropriate you will be removed from the whitelist?: Of course.
