Character Name(s):Grimaldus(Jirilhanae) Gruze sangumee(sangheli) Mata Nui(T'voan) zuduz(Unngoy) Veronica Taggart(Marine)
How long have you been a member of the Covenant Faction? Upwards of a month By now
What are some examples of good Covenant Roleplay that you have been a part of?-There was a time long ago when I had ill prepared for battle,going with only my weapons,as such I had decided to use a heretical human medicine, one which was tainted by their vile ilk,the shipmaster present made sure to reprimand me terribly for ill preparedness and heresy, it was not a charge that was light in nature,from then on I made certain to use only holy medicines and instruments of warfare,as the hierarchs intended. Another example is when The lower ranked covenant grow too free of will,often when not directly looked at they will falter in faith taking up heretical arms and forgetting the core values of the covenant,many a time I have had to personally reshape their faith and hone their conviction lest they be left behind on the great journey...
Do you understand the Faction Rules?-yes
Do you understand that you are not above the Covenant law, and may be persecuted for not following the Faction Rules?-yes,Even Thel vadamee,Greatest shipmaster in recent history was laid low for his heresy,and he had brought the covenant innumerable victories in the campaign against humanity...
Do you understand that you can be removed from the whitelist at any given time, based on your behavior, even when not playing the role you applied for?-Yes
What do you think your job is as the role you are applying for?-My role is to lead The armies of the hierachs to complete the tasks brought forth by the same,as shipmaster I have been granted assets to utilize as I see fit to complete said goals so long as I do not forget my mission,I am a leader and in absence of the hierarchs the very extension of their will,however in the presence of their company I am relegated to their wisdom,an instrument to be utilized at their complete discretion
Why should you be whitelisted?-Because failing the lack of higher command within the covenant ranks presently,The humans in this sector of space have amassed forces, Of their number are the fabled "helljumpers" in their tongue and rumors circulate that even demons have been seen among them,it is my personal belief that if we are to succeed we will require stronger leaders but I would never question the will of the hierarchs regarding that.
Any SS13 Bans: To clarify, I have no standing bans at this moment, however, I have been temporarily banned in the past.
Prior Moderation experience: While I have not been apart of SS13 staff in any capacity, I have taken part in discord server administrating for around a year now, and I have been playing the halo server for around two years now.Â
Personally, I think the most important thing about moderating is: A Moderator, besides of course "Moderating" has the important task of representing the community and being a helping hand to players while remaining unbiased if dealing with an issue on the server, be it a simple LRP report, or a major game-altering incident.Â
general character infoaryl is a sergeant in the UNSC just like his father was before he died from a plasma grenade. Daryl is battle hardened, kind of an introvert, of germanic descent and doesn't like helmets, he prefers his beret which was his dad's. Daryl is no hero, but with some luck he can be one, but if he's the last one alive he will run as fast as he can
Which role is your character's main(ex: Technician, Marine, etc): Marine Sergeant
Reason for joining :it looks like an active and friendly community balanced enough on both sides, also the UNSC intrigues me more than the covenant
First off, I'd like to clarify that I am friends with a lot of the staff and I think Koen is a chill dude, and that he does his job well, this report is made to hopefully set a standard for future admin interventions.
with that said, a round happening on 7/12/2020 around 9:30 PM EST, Koen spawned in three sparrow hawks for the UNSC team after their station was blown up, this would have been fine if the covenant got three banshees in return, however, they did not. Many players of the Covenant whitelist seen this as a winning factor overall for the UNSC. (Mind you, the defense for this being used was that the ODP was attacked heavily by the covenant, however from the Covenant point of view, we lost half of our manpower.) On top of this, UNSC still had every vehicle in oni base to their disposal, which they did indeed use, at one point the Covenant was being faced with a Scorpian, a Warthog, and a Sparrowhawk (not even mentioning the Spartan ll.)Â
With all that being said, I do not hope Koen gets punished at all, but I hope rather for future events or interventions that it is treated fairly for both sides, so the server can be more enjoyable for everyone, I think a good counterbalance to this event in specific would be giving Covenant 3 banshees in return.Â
 I will be providing attachments with a couple of screenshots of respected users in the community as proof.
Quick edit: please post a reply if you agree or have other accounts of a similar incident so it can be logged.
general character info:
Morgan Armstrong was born and raised within the outer colonies, joining the UNSC Marines because of financial issues. Serving within the UNSC for most of her life and seeing all the horrors of the UNSC, experiencing the brutality and corruption first hand, She decided that it would be much better fighting for something that's right, something that frees individuals from the clutches of UEG and the corruption of the UNSC.
With a few contacts, she deserted her regiment while on a patrol, meeting up with few Insurgents and travelling towards a URF FOB.
Reason for joining :
After Experiencing the Brutality and corruption first hand, she wanted to fight against the UNSC, she knew she had no chance, calling up old contacts to join the URF.
general character info: Zikan is a big, mean and stinky Sangheili that just wants to smash Demon’s visors in. He once killed a Demon in single combat named “Clayton-055†when he was only a Minor, and plans to kill more!
Reason for joining : UNSC is bigger and stinkier than Zikan
Roleplay Example/History: I am a sock. I can be whatever you imagine me to be.
general character info:Kosm is your average Kig-Yar, doesn't like Unggoys because they get annoying, uses the Gauntlet shield too much, panicks whenever the leader dies and likes shiny things.
Reason for joining : Since I joined this server I have been wanting to try more roles in the Covenant
Roleplay Example/History: I have been playing SS13 since May in various servers like Colonial Marines to Desert Rose and played DnD for a time.

How long have you been a member of the Covenant Faction? In total, I'd say probably around a month. I spent the good majority of time around last November when I first played, but due to IRL reasons I have had to take months away from it. I have just recently came back as seen by my covenant application.
What are some examples of good Covenant Roleplay that you have been a part of? This is poignant as I have just recently had quite a fun roleplay situation that was formed by fluke. I am not exactly the most robust, that is probably a good note to put before I get on with it. Pibip, an Unggoy minor who was awoken from his comfortable rest in a spirit to the sounds of fighting, ODP almost completely empty of UNSC forces. With a firm step on the ground, they help an elite major and ultra to break into the nuclear device room, and detonate it. Â
Skipping ahead, while stationed in the flagship in preparation to fight alongside his CO, the UNSC fleet was called. Battling hard, this Pibip felt victorious. Now onto the ground, the combat engineer worked to reinforce all of the walls and prepare defenses in the bar- when like the useless unggoy he is, blinded himself by accident because he forgot to put down his wielding visor. Realizing this mistake, the ultra brought the unggoy to the spirit- and with an example of pure bliss, the unggoy flies himself all the way to the flagship in order to fix his eyes. Unfortunately, the previous space battle would not be so simple to forget. Â
The autodoc was ash, this unggoy would not have his eyes back so easily. Fumbling around to make some eye meds, Pibip was taking quite some time to the dislike of his commanding officers. Many attempts were made to contact the unggoy, but none were answered. Perhaps in the heated battle of space, or sometime before, the covenant ship was blocking all outbound radio communications. Once finished with the meds, and arriving back to the planet. (An important note, his eyes were indeed not fixed.) The officers were not pleased whatsoever, and it was the time to search for the artifact when Pibip made his greatest mistake. Pibip, like the fool he is, could not find the seat to get into the spirit. A harmful delay to the great journey, and an even more harmful result.
Unknowingly, a heretic managed to snake himself into the bar and attack them from behind. With Pibip still firmly in the ultra's grasp, they were forced to pull back and begin the fight. The Sangheili fought valiantly, and the heretic was dead. Pibip on the other hand, was firing erratically toward the great beyond, panicked by the sudden combat. Comforted by his fellow unggoy, and healed of his wounds, they continued on. Pibip's uselessness got to the commanding officers unfortunately, and he was sternly threatened by punishment if he did not stop talking. This other unggoy is a story in and of itself, they managed to get the artifact all on their own, so robust.
It was not all fine and dandy. The artifact was not where this unggoy said it was, and the Sangheili were angered to an unhealthy degree. Fortunately the artifact was found, and safely returned to the flagship. Somehow, Pibip was free of punishment, but the other unggoy on the other hand was not so lucky. Beaten to near death, the blind Pibip rushed to grab medical supplies for his fallen brother. Blindly following the trail of blood leading up to the holding cells, Pibip injected biofoam into the punished unggoy. They felt betrayed. Perhaps by the sangheili, maybe by the very great journey itself.
After discussing momentarily about their past, the unggoy knew that home would soon arrive, and respite could hopefully shower them. Pibip was also quite hopeful for his eyes to be fixed, he didn't want to be cast aside as a worthless warrior. Though beaten, his loyalty lied firmly in the prophets, the great journey. Led back to the Unggoy chambers, hunger could not be understated. The food nipple was indeed filling on this day, for Pibip and his friend.
Do you understand the Faction Rules? Yes.
Do you understand that you are not above the Covenant law (but with some slight leeway)Â , and may be persecuted for not following the Faction Rules? I do.
Do you understand that you can be removed from the whitelist at any given time, based on your behavior, even when not playing the role you applied for? Of course.
What do you think your job is as the role you are applying for? This job, to me, seems to be almost entirely an RP role. Much like the unggoy deacon, this job could be a direct influence of the ministry toward the small crew, and provide interesting insight in the situation. Necessary to keep a HRP standard, at least for the prophet themself. Command of the lesser is necessary as well, although at the best of times, should be completely un-needed. Soon, the Great Journey shall begin, and it is important for the crew to remember that.
Why should you be whitelisted? I'll be real, I'm not exactly a robust spess guy. I can take care of the heretics, of course, and slaughter them with my very unggoy hand, but still not very robust. Roleplay, on the other hand, that is something that I can control. It is something that I know of, and something that I am truly experienced with. I find the hegemonic covenant super interesting, and the lore behind the individual races equally as so. If I need to lead in combat, that is fine, and I am prepared to kill heretics... through others. The heretics must learn of their mistake, and realize that they are not worthy of the Great Journey.
general character info: A loyal, heavy stepping Unggoy. The very might of this single grunt could stand the test of time, facing off against the very heretics that block the Covenant's very path to the great journey. Blarpdarp could stand against an army by himself, with but two sticky grenades. His claws are sharp and scratch at the enemies of the prophets. For him, nothing can possibly stand in his way, and he will destroy all, all by himself. Or... that's how the story goes.
Reason for joining : Just really love halo, what can I say. Grew up with it in my childhood, and I do my best to play it even now! Love the story, the weapons, the creatures, everything. This seems like a perfect place to experience what I felt once more, in a different perspective.
Roleplay Example/History: I have an immense history with roleplay, love HRP and play it to bits. Before SS13, I played and got my hands on all sorts of RP games, all serious. Before that, pen and paper.
Note - I have already been accepted for covenant in November, but was removed during my months of inactivity. This is a repost, but I can create a brand new one if deemed necessary.
