Character Name(s):Thot 'Lottee (Sangheili) Kick-kick/Fayis (Unggoy) Gunther von Gockenhour/Hellhole Joe (human/UNSC)


How long have you been a member of the Covenant Faction? Since around August of 2021


Do you understand the restrictions that Honour Guards have placed on them? Yes


Do you understand that you are not above the Covenant law, and may be persecuted for not following the RoE? Yes 


Do you understand that you can be removed from the whitelist at any given time, based on your behaviour, even when not playing the role you applied for? Yes


Situation:


Your fellow Honour Guard has been killed, as well as your prophet, by a human. You saw the human do this and follow him to find a group of humans. After engaging, you manage to kill the offending human, but the others manage to retreat where you could easily follow. What do you do next? 
I would immediately report the death of the prophet to the highest ranking individual that is present. Ontop of reporting the prophet's death i would relay the information of the fleeing humans. Seeing as the human who killed my fellow honor-guard and Prophet is already dead i would see no reason to personally persue the group of humans unless they were directly involved with the prophet's death. Additionally i would go out of my way to request permission to order a slip-space support ship and gather the bodies of my fellow honour guard and the prophet. Taking them onto the slipspace ship and exiting the system


Why should you be whitelisted? I'm rather good at combat and defense so i think i would do well at defending a prophet Icly and RPing my role out as a honour guard of the sangheili. Also there's only one other whitelisted honour-guard so i think getting more would be useful for covenant players.

Discord name: A Random Night Stalker#0833

In-character name: Current main is Tak, will make a few more once whitelist is approved

general character info: A twitchy as hell Ruuhtian with a love of spoils, long range engagements, and minimal danger to themselves for maximum gain. While not the most fervent supporter of the great plan they still point their gun at whom they're told, only if mostly in fear of being speared through and slow cooked over a fire if they refused.

Reason for joining: The covenant is bad ass and while grunts and kig-yar are also such I'd like to contribute to rounds as more then cannon fodder at first, at least until i die horribly at which case i can fall back upon the grunts.

Roleplay Example/History: Been on multiple servers on space station 13 since mid 2019 on a variety of roleplay levels from low/mid RP to HRP. I know to follow the rules when told, not to be a dick to other people trying to play and I at least try to put a bit of effort into my characters at least acting somewhat believable without getting too fussy about others, or at least I try. Can't wait to play in the future and die horribly for the sake of the prophets!

Character(s): Liena Sierris, Sierra Leint
  
How does your character interact with the world around them and the people in it?: 
Leina Sierris is no fresh-eyed recruit with absolute faith in the competency of her fellow marines. After her time in FORECON, she is more than willing to perform direct action on her own if she deems it necessary but is more than willing to defer to her senior ODST comrades and Spartans.
 
Provide a brief description of your character: Sierris is a hazel-eyed 27-year-old with a lean muscular build. She stands at 5'6 with light brown hair that she wears up in usually a ponytail.
 
Do you understand that members of this whitelist are held to a higher standard of roleplay?: Yes. 
 
Do you understand that if your behavior is deemed inappropriate you will be removed from the whitelist?: Yes.
 
Do you understand that breaking a server rule can remove you from this whitelist permanently?: Yes.

Ckey: jeff_139/jeff139

Discord name:

In-character name: Various. Current main is Marek Long, current covvie main is Rur the Kiggie. Requesting whitelist to play Kab Zux, the Tvoan Kiggie, among others.

general character info: Marek is friendly, but a bit of an ass (especially when pissed off) and isn't fully aware of the nature of the covenant. He's had enough encounters with them now (yes I am doing meta-memory with him, to a degree, I was told that such is fine) that he's aware of the existence of aliens, but generally doesn't believe they're all the UNSC makes them out to be, and isn't overly hostile to them and their existence. Alongside that, he trusts Poet somewhat, generally being friendly towards them, although he doesn't believe Poet is an alien, instead being convinced he's just got some form of skin condition and advanced protective equipment (something which developed ICly). Rur is a marksman, using a sniper for long-ranged engagements and a needler rifle for closer ranged engagements, along with a plasma pistol as a backup. He also carries around breaching charges and grenades in case they are needed. He serves the covenant as a fighter, taking out targets from a distance as possible, although rarely quietly. He will happily charge into the frontlines if needed, wielding his needler rifle as he rushes into the fray, but generally uses his sniper at a long distance when given the choice. Kab is, uh, definitely not Rur 2: electric boogaloo.

Reason for joining: The whitelist? I want access to the other covvie species. The server? Bored hub browsing and halo enjoyment.

Roleplay Example/History: Primarily, see Marek rounds, most of what I've been doing lately. Generally, if I play Rur, it's just been immediate unga into the field, and I generally haven't had much of a chance to make use of my sniper. I like to put roleplay above combat, playing servers for the stories the rounds tell as opposed to the greentext I occaisonally get, although I'm not the sort to put constant roleplay over roleplay realism and situational awareness. I also play David Moore, Marek Long, and anyone with the last names Van Haal or El'Maar (specifically on Eris), Walks-With-Shadows, and Lachstagnochstag Auchentch. The latter two are primarily on Bee and Para, the rest are on, uh... *Several servers.* So far, I've been playing SS13 for about a year and change, but as far as roleplay in general, I've years of experience in D&D, Paranoia, DragonQuest (the TTRPG, not the video game or D&D module), Rifts, Tortured Earth, and various other similar TTRPGs. As far as exact examples, uh... Feel free to give me a situation in the replies, as I mainly like to do improv, not scripted shite :D

In-character name: Various. Current main is Marek Long, intended URF main is Entrus El'Maar.

general character info: Marek is friendly, but a bit of an ass (especially when pissed off) and isn't fully aware of the nature of the covenant. He's had enough encounters with them now (yes I am doing meta-memory with him, to a degree, I was told that such is fine) that he's aware of the existence of aliens, but generally doesn't believe they're all the UNSC makes them out to be, and isn't overly hostile to them and their existence. Alongside that, he trusts Poet somewhat, generally being friendly towards them, although he doesn't believe Poet is an alien, instead being convinced he's just got some form of skin condition and advanced protective equipment (something which developed ICly). Entrus is extremely hostile to anyone he doesn't deeply trust, seeing everyone else as lesser to himself. He's elitist, but very much not an imperialistic sort, believing in personal freedoms above all. He believes in the idea of "no kill like overkill" and "leave no enemy a chance at life", doing all in his power to ensure that anyone who crosses him never can again. He also strongly believes in the standard of "payback with interest", giving back double what he gets at the least, for better or for worse. Any favors done for him, he respects, and returns as able, happy to go above and beyond on such, however, the inverse is also true. He always ensures that any task he agrees to complete is completed to the very best of his abilities, with no regard for how he is seen in the public eye, and always keeps his word as best he can, willing to die to keep a promise.

Reason for joining: The whitelist? I want access to the URF roles. The server? Bored hub browsing and halo enjoyment.

Discord name: Jeffman139

In-character name: Various. Current main is Marek Long, intended main for UNSC is David Moore.

general character info: Marek is friendly, but a bit of an ass (especially when pissed off) and isn't fully aware of the nature of the covenant. He's had enough encounters with them now (yes I am doing meta-memory with him, to a degree, I was told that such is fine) that he's aware of the existence of aliens, but generally doesn't believe they're all the UNSC makes them out to be, and isn't overly hostile to them and their existence. Alongside that, he trusts Poet somewhat, generally being friendly towards them, although he doesn't believe Poet is an alien, instead being convinced he's just got some form of skin condition and advanced protective equipment (something which developed ICly). David is also a friendly sort, but much more so, and less prone to hostility towards those he doesn't know, and much less manipulative. David is skeptical about mystical and religious matters, unlike Marek, and he's extremely keen on the usage of advanced technology. Funnily enough, his aim with firearms is far from impressive, and he personally hates to use firearms, instead opting to use melee weaponry when possible, having used swords since he was still a child. He has no idea how to operate covenant ranged weaponry properly, as he never paid much attention to briefings on such, but reveres the covenant's advanced melee weaponry.

Which role is your character's main: Marek is primarily a colonist or station staff member, David is primarily an XO, although I plan to play him as a CO.

Reason for joining: The whitelist? I want access to CO, mainly. Other roles as well, just to bounce around on. The server? Bored hub browsing and halo enjoyment.

General character info: A Sanghelli, born of the standaed martial prowess of his people, and a strong desire to see a certain balance restored to the universe which he inhabits. Intelligent. Observant. Quiet. A mind for strategy and oration over mindless swarming.

Reason for joining :  The greatest path to enlightenment is through direct application of teachings, both spiritual and martial. What better way to embark upon 'The Great Journey' than through becoming a direct object of its implementation?

Section 1: General Gameplay Rules


1.1) For all factions, rushing to intentionally remove, disable, destroy, or block off another faction’s spawn point within the first 10 - 20 minutes of a round is forbidden.

1.2) All NPCs should be treated as though they were fellow players. In other words, don’t murder them for no reason.

1.3) Do not respawn as the same character after death: you must either switch to a different character, or at the very least, change the name of your character for that round until they die again. (This rule does not need to be followed on game modes such as Slayer and Capture and Hold.)

1.4) Using information gained from any sources other than IC means is forbidden. No IC in OOC, or OOC in IC. No showing screenshots of a current round in the Discord unless a reasonable amount of time (10+ minutes) have passed, or if no sensitive information can be gleaned from the screenshot (i.e a screencap of a funny conversation).

1.5) You are allowed to handle SSD players, but you may not kill them, intentionally leave them in situations where they may die, or otherwise leave them in situations where they will not be able to play the game any further (i.e kidnapping them and locking them in brig for the rest of the round). You are allowed to take IDs and other important items off SSD players when necessary, unless it is forbidden by faction leaders for whatever reason ICly.

1.6) No end-of-round grief/EoRG.

1.7) When defending a point, area, or base, you must ensure that it is accessible via walking on harm intent. You may not wall off sections, doors, or other openings. Stacking barbed wire is forbidden. Tank traps require a 1x1 minimum gap between them. You cannot hide artifacts, nukes, or other important and/or mission-critical items in walls, or place them in areas that are inaccessible to certain factions.

1.8) All factions may use the weapons, vehicles, and technology of other factions. Note that the Covenant is usually semi-restricted by rules regarding heresy, which is handled almost exclusively IC.

1.9) In game modes such as Reclamation and Outer Colonies, as the Covenant, you may not use a Slipspace Core received from a Slipspace Tender ship without first attempting to use and detonate the Antimatter Bomb on the ODP/Asteroid Base. When using the Slipspace Core, you may not intentionally place it in areas that may be hard to reach or otherwise find by the UNSC; it must be inside an accessible area on the ODP.

1.10) Do not build solid walls, place barbed wire, or otherwise place any sort of potential obstacle that is NOT a bomb on top of bomb points on the ODP/Moon Base. Building walls and similar barricades around these sites is fine, provided that they are still accessible by foot. Any violations WILL be completely cleared by admin deletion so that there are no defenses at all for the offending bomb point.

1.11) Do not place gamemode-critical items, such as the Antimatter Bomb/Slipspace Cores or the Artifact, on z-levels inaccessible to one or more factions.


1.12) When defending a certain position in space, such as an ODP or another ship, you may not call in other ships and cover the position in stacks of ships to act as a bodyshield. Ships that are summoned should be called in with the intent of using them as a means to attack other ships, to retrieve certain resources, or otherwise as a means of transport.



Section 2: Roleplay Rules

Note that this section covers both general roleplay rules and faction-specific roleplay rules

2.1) Erotic roleplay is forbidden. This also includes stalking, sexual harassment, or generally just making people feel sexually uncomfortable.

2.2) Self-antagging is generally forbidden. You value your job, your co-workers/comrades, and your life. However, instances of being a self-antag may be permitted if you have both admin permission and have a proper, roleplayed out work-up to it.

2.3) The name of your character cannot be the same as a canon character’s (i.e John-117, Thel ‘Vadam), cannot be the same as a notable real-life person’s (i.e Michael Jackson, Barack Obama, Adolf Hitler), cannot be a meme/immature name (i.e Chad Thundercock, Chungus), and must be appropriate for the species of that character.

2.4) Your character should speak in a matter that is realistic and consistent with their race/lore (to the best of your knowledge). Basically, don’t use “leet”-speak or internet slang.

2.5) You must roleplay according to the level of knowledge that your role and/or species would have in the setting of the universe. For example, a simple marine would not be aware that the Spartan-IIs consist of child soldiers kidnapped, conscripted, and trained from 6 years of age, while that information might be more readily known by an ONI researcher.

2.6) Your character may not act psychotic (i.e randomly murdering people, frying up the body parts of your enemies regardless of their species and eating them) without both admin permission and a proper, roleplayed out work-up to said psychotic actions. Ahelp about your plans if you genuinely want to do this.

2.7) Faction leaders and commanders are allowed to punish those that disobey orders as they see fit, which may include execution.

2.8) For the UNSC, they must not randomly kill civilians (including NPCs) unless they have a valid IC reason to do so; they work to protect the UEG, as well as its citizens. These reasons could be that the civilians refuse to comply with orders in an active warzone, are openly armed on a colony with an active Insurrectionist presence, or otherwise hinder the UNSC’s objectives on a colony or elsewhere. When in doubt, ahelp it!

2.9) For the UNSC, the UNSC strongly values the law; commanding staff must follow The Law, and enforce it as necessary on ships under their command, such as arresting marines should they break the law (provided that they broke said law under unreasonable circumstances - for example, a marine breaking down a door is acceptable when the Covenant is actively invading the colony.)

2.10) For the UNSC, marines are to never wear uniforms sanctioned outside normal UNSC regulations, to avoid friendly fire instances and to show the enemy that the UNSC is a professional standing army. This includes civilian gear, Insurrectionist gear, and Covenant gear. Failure to adhere to this will result in a dressing-down and potential demotion. Obviously, exceptions may be granted for espionage missions or for donor gear.

2.11) For the Insurrection/URF, the Insurrection is here on the colony to free the citizens of the outer colonies from the tyrannical grip of the UNSC by any means necessary. They should not be murdering citizens (NPC or player) without a sufficient reason, such as self-defense, or for more diabolical schemes (assuming that they are approved by an admin beforehand) such as dressing up as a marine, killing innocents, and then pinning the blame on the UNSC.

2.12) For the Insurrection/URF, Insurrectionists are allowed to freely disguise themselves as marines or similar roles.

2.13) For civilians, they are freely allowed to align themselves with the UNSC, the URF, or even the Covenant (should they somehow let you join). Once they devote themselves to a faction, they will lose their status as a “civilian”, and as such may be treated as a hostile enemy by other factions!

2.14) For the Covenant, the Covenant is an extremely religious group, whose hierarchs have declared humanity to be a heretical race that must be exterminated. As such, they should not seek to cooperate, team up, or otherwise be friendly to humans unless it is beneficial to the Covenant in some way (i.e stopping an infestation, tricking them to receive valuable intel/items/prisoners, etc). However, individuals may choose to be friendly to humans regardless, but they risk the consequences of being punished for heresy!

2.15) For the Covenant, it is the job of authority figures (Sangheili of any rank, San’shyuum, Unggoy Deacons) to enforce the rules against heresy. What exactly constitutes as “heresy” is semi-ambiguous, but generally, anything involving the handling of most human technology, positively associating with humans, or painting the Covenant and its religion in a bad light is seen as heretical.

Covenant players are allowed to use human weapons and technology, but Covenant authority figures are also allowed to punish their subordinates for the usage of human tech. This should depend on the context of the situation, however; for example, a Elite picking up a human shotgun for shits and giggles would certainly count as heretical, while one that only resorted to the use of human weapons after his own weapons were lost and/or lost ammo would be spared of punishment. It should also be clarified that having human prisoners is not inherently heretical.

2.16) For Huragok specifically, despite spawning in as a Covenant role, they are ultimately a neutral role that can join any faction. However, they cannot join of their own free will, and must be coerced into joining this faction, such as being separated from their teammates and surrounded by the enemy.

2.17) For Huragok specifically, they are incredibly pacifistic and will avoid fighting back at all unless it is in an emergency (i.e being actively shot at). Otherwise, they should not act hostile or otherwise assist in directly antagonistic actions (like overdosing people), unless it is “passive” (i.e breaking down the walls of a ship’s hull).

2.18) For Huragok specifically, when speaking in sign language, they may only use one-word responses, and cannot chain multiple responses into something coherent unless they are asked relevant questions (i.e being asked if they’re lost and responded “HELP”, “ME”, “STRANDED”). You are allowed to be more expressive/communicative with vocalizations like chirps, whistles, and croons, or outright gesturing.

2.18) For the Covenant, authority figures should avoid using the Glassing Beam on the planet (in Reclamation/Outer Colonies) until the artifact has been retrieved. If the situation is deemed unwinnable, they may choose to glass the planet in order to destroy the artifact and deny the enemy access to it.

2.19) For the Covenant, most of the covenant live in extreme fear of their superiors at all times, whose zeal often is the cause of many beatings, if not deaths, of those who disobey. Mutiny for the covenant species is disallowed without admin permission and a sufficient IC reason (i.e their leader ordering to glass the colony despite the artifact not being retrieved). Brutes, due to their nature, are given more freedom with the reasoning but still need to ahelp.
