[X] Plan Tanya the Good
-[X] A Woman
-[X] 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)
-[X] Theodore
-[X] 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)
-[X] 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.
-[X]Allow it To Grow: Changes will happen organically throughout the cosmos, either through your actions, or the actions of others.
This plan is for a character that is in some ways the opposite of "Tanya the Evil" and in other ways the same. Both were reincarnated into a child solider. Both have significant advantages over others in their setting (Tanya has her orb, Theodore has his roll bonus)
Tanya was a man who became a girl. Theodore is a woman who became a boy.
Tanya was reborn into a historical fantasy. Theodore was reborn into a future science fiction.
People are constantly surprised at Tanya's military skills and knowledge. People are constantly surprised at Theodore's political skills and knowledge.
Tanya was a "rationalist" who sought a safe posting. Theodore is an "idealist" who seeks an end to the conflict.
EDITED:
Apologies, I didn't realise Magoose doesn't permit approval votes.
I think [ ] Plan: Mystery Machine Nail would make an interesting quest as well.

Before Boot 1: A Son of his Nature.
You were born on a planet called Harvest, in the city of Utgard. The Planet was founded only a few decades before you were born, and was largely an agrarian society. Much of the people that you met were farmers who worked large heavy machinery, and massive fields of wheat, brarely and other grains, with the occasional fruit farm and grape vineyard springing up from well off colonists from the inner colonies or earth. People who were more interested in the profit of the labor, rather than the sustenance.
They were looked down upon by many of the colonists who had arrived first, or soon after, because they represented everything that was wrong with Inner colonies and the UGE. They advocated government oversight from the UNSC and the UGE, regulations, and public funds.
Loss of control.
The citizens of Harvest were not entirely at fault for their weariness of the UGE government. Everywhere it touched meant taxes, military presence, insufferable administrative bureaucracy that stripped the rights of the Harvest Parliament, and the threat of the Insurrection bombing their cities in their misguided but not entirely uncalled for attempts at getting autonomy from the UGE.
The people of Harvest just wanted to be left alone, to work the land, and to live their lives to the fullest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your parents were farmers as well, owning over one thousand acres of land twenty miles from the nearest town.
It was a lonely isolated existence. But you were fine with the existence. It was a peaceful one.
Family roll: 1D100 => 99
You were not the first child in your family. Your little brother and sister were born a year after you.
It was than your parents quickly realized you were not a normal child. You did not cry like your siblings did when they were fussy or upset, nor did you show any fear when facing the world around you.
You walked by the time you were barely a year old, and was reading any book you could get your hands on by the time you were two.
Puzzles were easy, and chess was nothing more than a game for you to play when you decided that counting cards was not fun anymore.
Genius… prodigy, unnatural… Scary. Those were some of the words used to describe you by your family's friends whenever they come over on play-dates.
Your socialization was little more than trying to get the other children to do puzzles with you, and no one was able to do it. You would get upset and try to force them to try the puzzle, trying to guide their hands like a robot would.
Your parents did not like that, and the world seemed to get lonelier and lonelier as time passed by.
Thankfully, your siblings filled the void of missed friendship and were a constant source of companionship for each other as you grew older.
Able was the smallest sibling, and the most precious thing in the entire family. You spend a lot of time carrying her around the farm and showing her the things that interested her, like the heavy machinery or the growing wheat and corn that your parents planted.
Max, your little brother was always stomping around and play fighting you whenever her got the chance, trying to prove he was not just the little squirt you could push around. He always lost. But his determination made you respect him, and soon the play was more to distract each other from the boardom of the farm and the slow peaceful life you all lived.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life moved on, and things never changed for your home. But you changed.
You Studied: (Note: Since this is your first Skill, it will automatically be mastered).
(Choose 1)
[]Robotics: You loved the way machines worked on the farm, and how they operated.
[]Cybernetics: There was a few cool movies you saw. Scary ones but the way the hero replaced his limbs with robotic ones was amazing.
[]Artificial Intelligence: You remember seeing a hologram that directed you when you were in the city, a Hologram named E.D. You learned he was the Cities dumb A.I who helps care for the city along with city oficials and officers.
[]Farming: The Family Trade. It was something that made you feel happy, and filled you with a sense of pride.
[]Hunting: Your Father gave you a rifle and took you and Max, and Able out into the wild lands. He taught you trigger discipline, how to clean and maintain the rifle, and how to shoot straight. And how to survive and keep others alive.
[]First Aid and Medicine: Your mother was a doctor before she moved out into the outer colonies, and she wanted to make sure you could keep yourself healthy in the fields.
And What did you do in the meantime:
(Choose 2)
[]Spend time with Your Parents: Your Parents love you, and want to spend as much time as possible with you until you have to go to school.
[]Spend time with Able: You little sister enjoyed your company, though she was very weirded out whenever you stared off into space at night. But tonight you would be camping in the fields, as harvest season ends, and her curiosity gets the better of her. She asks what is out there in the Stars.
[]Spend time with Max: Your brother always loves to play games of strength, wits and intelligence, chess being his favorite. But he always tries to beat you, never giving up… never giving in. You loved him for that.
[]Dream: In your Dreams you see wires and blood, darkness and light… a soul with the body of a machine. And a heart of something greater.
[]Upgrade (Can only be taken with Cybernetics or Artificial Intelligence skill and with the Dream Action): Your body is too weak, your mind to brittle to handle the information that is needed to be processed. The only way to compensate for it… is to upgrade your body. That is the only way you can accomplish your mission.
AN: Hello Everyone, welcome to Part one.
Your Character Sheet will be coming up soon, after the prologue is all done and dusted.
Please vote in Plan format please.

1. They do carry the same Genetic info as SP2.
2. What will happen? Well they'll die eventually from a degenerative disorder... unless the close is the same level of genius we can chose to be at in any given field and cures himself of his disease, along with the two siblings.
Lets just say it will be complicated and leave it at that.

Guys do we really want ONI to know that we have the memories of our past life, and that we can cybernetically upgrade ourselves with just the equipment and tools of an Agri-World? We could be dissected and experimented upon!

If these suits can be created and mass produced before the Covies arrive in 2525, then Harvest won't be such a hellhole.

Its not to unrealistic. The halo universes humanity needs food, and the fact is, lots of planets in the outer colonies are agrarian in nature.
It's why so many hate the inner colonies. The farmers life produces free thinkers who think anybody who doesn't farm is a freeloader
Yeah... you might not be able to pull off a tony Stark by building powerarmor with a box of scraps before ONI comes a knocking to turn us into Captain America.
But you do have a few parts to try.

Actually, what happened is the UNSC set up the CMA which is Colonial Militia Administration, as well as the CAA which deals with helping set up colonies and such. Both ended up corrupt and abusing the Outer Colonies which the UNSC kinda either didn't notice/did notice and was ineffective at routing out, or didn't care to deal with. Led to a lot of backlash especially as Outer Colonists were getting less support and paying heftier taxes then Inner Colonists. So yeah, doesn't help the UNSC went, "Complaining Colonies, let's just shut you down as hard as possible [insert Russian Police Force/Intelligence Agency doing their job]".
We definitely won't be able to build it, but simply being able to create the designs and either A) Give them to ONI, B) Leave them where our Family can see them, or C) Send them to some business would be rather useful overall. Something else to note, if we pick Robotics or whatever and spend our time designing stuff during the little bit of free time they give us during Spartan Boot Camp it would be a good idea to talk to Deja about talking to Hasley/giving her blueprints/designs and at least being able to be taught more scientific stuff as well. Assuming you want the MC to maintain and further his ability in that specialty.
Edit:
[X]Plan: Family and Iron.
Going, to be honest y'all, this is likely going to be our best plan in terms of being capable of actually changing things. Both through scientific knowledge and the choices setting us up to be charismatic/a good person to bond with others. After all look, we spend our time with family members giving us that social interaction and likely setting it up for them to like us allowing us a sort of trait or so regarding being social. The protective older sibling is nice, if we wanna stick to the usual stuff so I won't be bothered if it wins. But I'm certainly going to toss out my recommendation for Family and Iron.

I wrote that not because I though it was unrealistic, I just wrote it cause it remained me of the Netflix series.

I certainly would like to deviate from the norm, but we need our MC to remember his time as a Soldier/Hero by giving him a gun. That might jump start his combat skills to a ludicrous degree by the time he gets drafted into the Spartan Program. Also, our siblings could also be candidates for the Spartan II Programs so we should increase our bonds with them right from the start. Robotics might give us an edge in Technology mumbo jumbo later on, but SPARTANS are soldiers foremost in the Covenant War, and that means we gotta master the arts of DAKKA.
