Character Creation:
'So your body finally fails you.' The voice spoke to you softly as you took long, uneasy breaths. Your final breaths.
'But it is okay my friend. Soon you shall pass in the night, and we shall meet.' The voice was more comforting to your ears.
You looked up to the night sky. For years you followed advice from your late father, to cling onto the life you had lived so that you can make the world a better place.
Then you saw your body, the mortal coil that carried your spirit. It was:
[]A man
[]A Woman
[]A Machine (Gain Memories of a Machine)
But even in your long life, you felt like a failure even when you were:
[]A Diplomat: With your words, you prevented untold death and destruction, and reminding those who had the power to unleash it. With empathy and kindness, you brought a world on the brink to peace… and saved the world. (Gain Memories of A Diplomat)
[]A Soldier: In the flames of battle, you stood tall, saving as many lives as you could. War, death, and destruction were constant companions. But you persevered, and it made you stronger. And in the end, persevering when all others failed, saved the world. (Gain: Memories of a Veteran)
[]A Statesmen: Your dream was making your nation a stronger place, sacrificing the short-term pleasures and eases for long-term benefits. Benefits that you would not live to see. But you made a difference and you were at peace with that. In your actions, you saved the world.(Gain: Memories of a Statesmen)
[]A Spy: You saved the world more times than you could count, with information, intimidation, and subterfuge. The thrill and terror of the end kept you alive… and that was enough. (Gain: Memories of a Spy)
[]A Scientist: You brought wonder from the mind, unlocking human potential by using the greatest tool in humanities disposal, the human mind. And with it, you saved the world from disease, famine, and more. (Memories of a Scientist)
[]???: You raged against the dying night, against the creatures of darkness that sought death and destruction against all that stood in its way. You were the last one of your kind. You charged into the darkness with a heart of light. You saved your world with your dying light. (Memories of a ???????)
Now as you floated away from your body, you looked at the spirit. "I wish I had more time." You whispered. There was so much left you needed to do.
'You will my child… but not in this life.' the voice said quietly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wrapped in blankets, you felt warmth and comfort, with your arms snug tight on your body were the first sensations in your new world.
"Welcome to your new life, my child." A voice spoke softly. "Honey... what was the name we chose again?"
What name was chosen for you:
[]Write in (Please do not choose any names that are already canon Spartan II's)
Meta: What is the Difficulty You wish to Play As:
[]Easy: For Those That want a more interactive Story in the Halo Universe, and as a Spartan II. (You will get roll bonuses of +50)
[]Normal: For Those that want a mix of Challenge and Story. You will be tested, but your mistakes will not haunt you. (You will get roll bonuses of +30)
[]Heroic: The True Way to Play. The Enemy will be merciless, brutal and unyielding, your choices affect every outcome, but the rewards for such a victory will leave you satisfied. (You will get roll bonuses of +10)
[]Legendary: You Will not Survive. Tremble as teeming hordes of invincible alien monsters punish the slightest error with instant death... again and again. (You will get no roll bonuses)
[]Mythic — Your enemies are cunning and ruthless, and only too willing to show you why they're winning the war. They will never give up until they are victorious...will you? (Enemy will get roll bonuses of +10)
[]Noble — The time has come to rise to the occasion. Beat the odds, and be revered as the soldier that would be spoken in the same breath as the fabled Noble Team. (Enemy will get roll bonuses of +20)
[]Eclipse — Humanity is on the brink of extinction, and it's up to you to save them. Your own survival is at risk, but this will be a fitting test to see how much you're willing to lay on the line. (Enemy will get roll bonuses of +30)
[]Nova — Spartans never die. Prove it. (Enemy will get roll bonuses of +50)
Meta 2: For the Spartan II Program: The Spartan II Program will build humanities greatest warriors and Soldiers. In one Timeline only 75 were chosen. In this Timeline they have:
[]300: After the Legendary Spartan of Thermopylae, the Three hundred warriors who stood their ground to the Last Man, whose actions brought valuable time for the Greek City states. They are an Army of Brothers and Sisters, ready to face the oncoming struggle that the future will bring.
[]150: The Theban Sacred Band was 150 man strong contingent of soldiers, who had defeated the Spartans in battle: A lucky number, it may be. But the group will become one, through time and training.
[]75: It was the number that worked in one universe. It will work in this one.
Meta 3: Though Canon will change due to your actions and the actions above, how far do you want canon to be changed.
[]Keep is Close: You want something that resembles the Halo we all know and Love. That is fine.
[]Allow it To Grow: Changes will happen organically throughout the cosmos, either through your actions, or the actions of others.
[]Fuck Canon: You want to Burn Canon to the Ground and you do not care how much changes. The World is your oyster QM… just make it make sense.
AN: Hello All. And Welcome to We will Never Die. You will be a Spartan II going from Training, to the Human Covenant War (If you chose for it to happen that is) and maybe beyond.
Really I am doing this for a very simple reason.
The New Halo Novels are shit (Personal opinion), and I remember playing Halo for thousands of hours.
Seeing my favorite Sci-Fi franchise go to the dumps makes me sad.
And so, with seething anger in my heart, and a whole lot of Lore from my lore master brother to my left... I am going to do this franchise justice.
Or at least attempt to. Depends how long the booze lasts whenever I'm writing.
Plan Format Please.
