How long have you been a Whitelisted ODST?:
Since 7/16/19


Have you ever been banned here, or on other servers?:
Nope.


Do you understand and agree to follow the rules linked above, as well as the Faction Rules of the UNSC and the Server Rules?
Absolutely. Spartans are the best of the best, and having shitters around would not fly.


Do you understand that whitelisted Spartans are expected to comment on and observe the conduct of other Spartan, on the forums as well as discord?
Yup.


Name of the Spartan you want to play (Name-000. Try and avoid commonly known numbers like -117.): Beauford-746



Explain what you would do in the following scenarios and why:



Scenario 1:
You’re on the ONI Aegis and the ONI RD requests a Sierra team to deploy to VT9, as the covenant have been spotted and are attacking. They have not breached the gate and it is unclear as to the size of their forces. What do you do?



What I would do depends on many different factors, mainly being the size of both the covenant and UNSC/ONI forces at the base and getting a proper and clear objective from the research director. From this simple report, the deployment of a Sierra team is not warranted but if a large group of covenant forces deploy sometime later and there is a serious risk of ONI assets being destroyed or captured, then the deployment may be authorized.
      A Sierra team should not be deployed for one report of covenant forces near the base, and the research director presumably did not give any other important intel as to what the actual goal of the deployment would be. If the RD gave a report such as, “Requesting a Sierra team to VT9, there is a major covenant assault going on and they are about to steal ONI documents and are about to breach my office, our guards can’t hold them off!” then I would likely deploy down to the planet with the team. To put it short, I would not deploy from this simple description of covenant forces but if certain factors change later on, then I would likely deploy with the team if they gave the proper clearance and objectives.




Scenario 2:
You’re on the ONI Aegis and receive an urgent request from a Platoon Leader to deploy onto the UNSC Warship as the Insurrectionists have deployed a sizeable force and are taking control of the ship, and arming the nuclear device as they request assistance. What do you do?




I would first make sure the platoon leader is the aCO, and if an attempt has previously been made from the UNSC forces. If the platoon leader is the aCO at the time and he gives a proper objective for us to accomplish, such as ‘disarm the nuclear device’ or ‘secure/retrieve x and take them back to the Aegis’ then the deployment of a Sierra team would likely happen. The loss of a UNSC warship would be a great blow to the local forces, so regaining control of it would be a great objective for the team to accomplish. However, if the platoon leader is not the aCO at the time and there is no request from the proper commanding officer, then nothing is to be done about this situation and the request can be disregarded for the time. If we deployed from the request of a platoon leader who does not have a clear understanding of the whole situation, then our time and resources would be wasted which could have been put somewhere else.



Scenario 3:
You’ve been deployed on a mission to give the covenant back their bomb. You manage to arm the bomb, but your fellow spartan has been cut down and his body is being dragged away by the Covenant towards an escape pod. What do you do?



Retrieving the gear is first priority in this situation, and I would leave whatever position I am in and retrieve the gear. In a perfect situation, the bomb would be activated and I would likely use the escape pod with the body and make my way back to deposit the gear back on the Aegis. If the spartan gear falls into the covenant hands, a much worse outcome would likely come rather than if I chose to stay on the ship and defend the bomb. If I am the last remaining spartan in this situation, I would likely fax high command of what had happened and let them know that the gear is secure and the mission has failed.

In-character name: Simon Maclagan

general character info: A Researcher that after certain events, decided to Join the UNSC to look for his MIA Brother.

Which role is your character's main(ex: Technician, Marine, etc): Marine Combat Medic, Ship Crew

Reason for joining : I Got tired of the Covies, its not the same Feeling as before, So I wanted to change Faction and stop Feeling unconfortable. Apart from that I like the UNSC and I Want to give it a chance.

Ckey: Archivator

Discord name: Archivator

In-character name: Kib

General character information: Kib is a Kig-Yar of default species, highly faithful to the Prophets and Covenant ideology. Mostly prefering on-ship duty, he is a crew member that possesses no prejudice against the other races, and never underappreciates anybody based just on their race, being even supportive most of the time to others.

Reason for joining: I like the Covenant side more than UNSC or any other faction, because it's religious and multi-race culture interests me more than anything of the same nature, which makes interesting possibilities for me, as well as it's aesthetics.

Roleplay example/history: I played mainly on medium RP servers before, and a bit on high RP, though not for long. I am able to do general RP, participate in RP situations, can study the lore required behind server's theme etc.

More depth with faction's details: Covenant is a space empire founded by two races - San'Shyuum and Sangheili after the long war between each other. It's ideology is based around the legacy of the race named Forerunners that once inhabited the galaxy and left behind a lot of artifacts and technologies after vanishing. Not a single change is allowed in the design of Forerunner's designs, due to then being considered holy and untouchable, which leads Covenant to having a lot of technologies they gathered being used not to the fullest potential. It consists of many races that were conquered before the contact with humanity, such as Kig-Yar, Unggoy, Jiralhanae etc.

Character(s): Brielle Sandford

How does your character interact with the world around them and the people in it?: When it comes to Marines and other UNSC supporting civilians, Brielle is very friendly, and tries to make people feel comfortable, but other than that, all she sees is tactical positions, a subway turns into a chokepoint, and an open field turns into a killzone.

Provide a brief description of your character: Brielle was born into a poor slum on Earth, and was put into an orphanage after her parents abandoned her. She was raised by drug dealers and hooligans, but each one taught her skills that would improve her military career. The keen eye for details from graffiti artists and the ability to scope a place out from the basic robber. However, even with all of this negative role models, she still saw the good in people, still saw people as people, and not just as criminals, but she was scared that she would grow to do so. So, she left that life, and joined the UNSC, passing basic and become a fully fledged marine. While she is only a short 5'9", she is good with a sniper, and while she isn't great a CQC, her skills with a sniper are near to that of a professional.

Do you understand that members of this whitelist are held to a higher standard of roleplay?: Yes I do.

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?: Completely understood.

In-character name: Alyson Insi

General Character Info: Alyson comes from Gao, recruited as an Agent to help with the sovereignty of the Republic, and has been sent on several missions with other operatives, the most recent one being Geminus to help with rebelling against the UEG. Before then they were a hunter for an exotic meats shop owner, hunting Gao wildlife such as Idjoms, and rarely Glowfish. Alyson's job as a hunter got shut down as the owner of the exotic meats shop died of old age. They were unable to find any other job, so applied for a job in the Gao Armed Forces, after three years of enlistment they were approached with the option of joining the Gao Infiltration Forces, which she gladly accepted. 

Reason for joining: I've been kicked out of the Covenant for inactivity a couple of months ago, and I've recently gotten back into playing Halo 13. So I'm going to try applying for the URF, I haven't been the best roleplayer, but I've gotten better.

Ckey: Gunlean

Discord name: garlic#7718

In-character name: Multiple characters, namely a Unggoy named Synopra and I seek to have a brute named Zorreeus

general character info: Synopra is a loopy and loud enthusiast of the Convenant religion, who enjoys exterminating heretics to his religion. Zorreeus is an incredibly goofy and dimwitted individual, only shining within battle. He's quite unprofessional and can be a lot to handle since he may not know what he's doing.

Reason for joining: Covenant is usually a lot more interesting the USCM since you have more vast races at your disposal and aren't confined to being only a human which is a nice touch to me and provides a wider range of much needed roleplay variety.

Roleplay Example/History: I have RPed for 4 years on multiple platforms and I think I am pretty good at it because the people I RP'd with were very very good so I had to keep up with them in terms of skill for 4 long, hard years.

More depth with factions details IE: The covenant are a group of aliens forming a military coalition serving under the High Council who seek to exterminate humanity as they see it as a front on their religion and gods. They seek to use forerunner technology called Halo rings to accomplish this goal.

How long have you been a Whitelisted ODST?: About a year, little over


Have you ever been banned here, or on other servers?: I was banned once from HS13 for taking about the discord in another server, but the ban was reversed by James

Name of the Spartan you want to play (Name-000. Try and avoid commonly known numbers like -117.): Max-023


Explain what you would do in the following scenarios and why:


Scenario 1:

You’re on the ONI Aegis and the ONI RD requests a Sierra team to deploy to VT9, as the covenant have been spotted and are attacking. They have not breached the gate and it is unclear as to the size of their forces. What do you do?

I would first ask about the size of the Covenant force as well as the status of the artifact. Due to the rules requiring a valid mission that is more complex than killing random forces, I would validate that a real attack was being conducted.

Scenario 2:

You’re on the ONI Aegis and receive an urgent request from a Platoon Leader to deploy onto the UNSC Warship as the Insurrectionists have deployed a sizeable force and are taking control of the ship, and arming the nuclear device as they request assistance. What do you do?

I would relay the information to the CO or RD and clarify if deployment is authorized and proceed accordingly to their response. Sergeants are not of command authority to make the order, but the situation in question would validate at least some consideration.

Scenario 3:

You’ve been deployed on a mission to give the covenant back their bomb. You manage to arm the bomb, but your fellow spartan has been cut down and his body is being dragged away by the Covenant towards an escape pod. What do you do?

This is straight forward. Protocol dictates the abandonment of current tasks to either retrieve the Spartan or, if the situation is bad enough, their gear. The bomb is secondary.

Character(s): Elias Janssen

How does your character interact with the world around them and the people in it?: Elias generally tries to see the good in everything, remaining optimistic even in the worst environment with the worst people.

Yes I do.


Do you understand that whitelisted Spartans are expected to comment on and observe the conduct of other Spartans, on the forums as well as on discord?

Name of the Spartan you want to play (Name-000. Try and avoid commonly known numbers like -117.):
Edward-042



Explain what you would do in the following scenarios and why:


Scenario 1:
You’re on the ONI Aegis and the ONI RD requests a Sierra team to deploy to VT9, as the covenant have been spotted and are attacking. They have not breached the gate and it is unclear as to the size of their forces. What do you do?
If I am alone, I cannot deploy and remain on the Aegis.
When two or more Spartan-II assets are available however, I would first inform the ONI Research Director that more information as to the disposition of enemy forces is required before deploying. His request does not include a clear goal for deployment, the request also suggests that no real engagement has occured yet. S-II assets are a means of last resort, not the first line of defence.


Scenario 2:
You’re on the ONI Aegis and receive an urgent request from a Platoon Leader to deploy onto the UNSC Warship as the Insurrectionists have deployed a sizeable force and are taking control of the ship, and arming the nuclear device as they request assistance. What do you do?
If I am alone, I cannot deploy and remain on the Aegis.
When two or more S-II assets are available, the response would be to verify if the Platoon Leader is the acting UNSC CO (as in, no one up in the chain of command remains.) If this is the case, S-II assets will deploy with the clear goal of preventing full loss of a UNSC Naval asset. The fact that the crew and its marine complement are in the process of losing the vessel is clear enough evidence that conventional forces are already severely depleted. S-II's may deploy with the goal of securing the vessel and reinstating the crew and its marines in full control of the vessel.


Scenario 3:
You’ve been deployed on a mission to give the covenant back their bomb. You manage to arm the bomb, but your fellow spartan has been cut down and his body is being dragged away by the Covenant towards an escape pod. What do you do?
I Immediately give chase and engage the Covenant forces that are taking the S-II away. If the enemy is present in overwhelming force and retrieval of the body becomes impossible, the first option would be to use explosives at range in order to destroy the body.
If this is also impossible, there is no other option than to close to point blank range and destroy myself along with the S-II and our equipment.

A third alternative is to keep the Covenant pinned down, preventing them from boarding the escape pod untill the AM bomb goes off. This will depend on everyone's relative positions, aswell as the position of the AM bomb (in order to ensure it is not disarmed.)

Losing 2 S-II's and their equipment is still preferable compared to losing 1 S-II and giving the Covenant a working example of S-II related armor technology.
