Scraped from here.

[X]Crossover depth
-[X]Character (Basically the character is the only one with powers, and basically becomes a hero unit in a universe with badass normals)
-[X]Species (The Jiralhanae have ability users.)
-[X]Full (Expect prophets to have some powerful magecraft, Sangheili magic swordsmen, and there to be UNSC secret wizards)

[X]Shop system with licenses from different Sci Fi universes? (SC, W40K, F, e.t.c.)
-[X]No
-[X]Yes

[X]Time period
-[X] Joining of the covenant
-[X] Civil war level
-[X] Industrial level
-[X] Thirty years before the homeworld bombs itself
-[X] Two decades before Human/Covenant war
 
So it's kind of unclear, is the main character locked as a Jiralhanae?
 
Anyway this is a strange crossover between Halo, and a manga called The gamer. I know it doesn't make much sense to put the two setting together, but a muse is a muse. Since this is done on an Ipad it willl be shorter than my other quests.

Yes.

That is unless there is an uprising by you players, and it is demanded that the species be chosen. In that case I will contact a mod, to change the title.

The shop system will probably get messy.

More weapon options, always fun.

Too many crossover elements can clutter and confuse a quest. Not to mention that Halo has plenty of opportunities for fun tech options.
True, but they each need specific actions to unlock. If someone changes their vote to let it win, I'll get started on the Google document for it.
As a question what would the earlier date choices mean for our character?
It would mean that he could have change the races history at earlier points, and he would also have had less access to tech.
How long do Jiralhanae live typically?
Anywhere from sixty to a hundred years.
How has their society changed in that time?
Not much. It surprisingly has been kept very close to it's tribal roots. You get a group of clans, and the most successful clan takes over all those in the area. It often becomes like a royal family equivalent. But if it doesn't keep it's strength, another clan will challenge it (Something that happens a lot, as the naturally want to fight). Then as number grows, a number of these alpha packs meet, and again the strongest group comes out on top. This continues, until either two equal sides meet, and destroy the other (What happened in cannon) Or till the stronger side wins.
EDIT: Looking over the wiki I've got to say that these guys are worse at civilisation than Krogans.
I wouldn't go that far. Brutes at least got space flight going, before bombing themselves to hell.
The only means I can see of getting any sort of unity would be to adopt a sort of Khanate system. These guys are never going to stop fighting but also take oddly well to dicipline and martial authority. They need a system that can easily splinter and come together based on the tides of war and ability.
Yep.
The current tribe and pack system enourages cooperation at too small a level and seems to prevent any other sort of culture from developing. Not something helped by their violent and mono-focused nature.
Indeed
Terrifying fighters, more so with Gamer magic. Awful at doing anything lasting.
Well only the MC has it. But it may be possible to awaken magics in others. Eventually.
The Sangheli could make use of them, if they bothered to take a suitably dominant position and role.
The two races hate each other for a reason. Brutes are superior physical specimens for close combat (Which the sangheili absolutely hate), but their lack of widespread martial discipline across the board means that they'll lose the big battles, and firefights. Difference between romans, and barbarians one could say.
Something I think they'd sneer at however.
They have a proud warrior culture, and the brutes tribalism, and lack of honor disgusts them, a kind of dark reflection to how they could have turned out.

If one of the previous options were chosen, it would have been possible to turn the brutes into somethign similar. Which in turn might have made the elites bros, whom would have taken the race under their wing.

Edit: Vote will not be locked until tomorrow morning.
 
Ah, if there's unlocking conditions, then I've changed my mind.

This is going to be fun.

Or

It could be the Chinese version of interesting either way I'm in.
 
The Covenant. A massive conglomerate of diverse species based around the idea of using giant space rings to ascend unto a higher plane of existence. Of course those rings were created by an ancient race known as the Forerunners. And using them actually wipes out all sentient life in the galaxy. So the activation of even one of the seven rings would be disastrous.

However dieing would be much more appealing, then the alternative. Namely being made into food by a giant, planet sized, reality warping Venus flytrap.

But I digress. The Prophets (Or more formally known as San 'Shyuum) Form the leadership of the covenant, having originally had access to a forerunner ship. The first race they found was the Sangheili. After a large bloody disagreement, the two races eventually joined forces, and formed this organization.

From there, they advanced taking many other races into the fold. Ones such as the Yanme'e (AKA bug people) Ungoggy, (AKA cannon fodder/Explosives) Kig Yar (AKA bird people with bullshit sniping powers) and finally the Mgalekgolo (AKA worm colonies that are also Walking tanks) Finally you have the Jiralhanae (AKA 9 feet of rage empowered muscle)

If you hadn't already guessed, then this setting is Science fiction. But since I'm bored, I decided to add in another element to it. Namely a fantasy gaming element.

You fortunate players get to control a member of that last mentioned species. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll unfreeze the GM, and allow him to get back to writing choices so this can begin.
___________________________________________________________________________________

[X]Like a great many members of the covenant, the character was born on a large spatial habitat.

[X]Because of the homeworld's damaged state, the character was born on one of the new colonies that the pack was moved to.

[X]There are still a great many stragglers left on the homeworld. The character is one of the few Jiralhanae left that was actually birthed there.

[X]The Sangheili have a large number of Jiralhanae kind as laborers. The character were born as a servant.

[X]The character was not birthed in the normal sense. One moment he was nonexistent, and the next, the character was sleeping on the ground.

____

However there is more than his birth The character:

[X]Is part of a normal pack. Nothing special about it whatsoever.

[X]Is a servant to the Sangheili (Only available if the laborer parents option is picked)

[X]It seems that some prophet thought it would be a good idea to kidnap a large number of your kind's children. And then raise them to be the perfect soldiers. This will surely end well.

[X]For some strange reason he's now on a completely abandoned planet

[X] Write in, Go wild!
 
[X]The character was not birthed in the normal sense. One moment he was nonexistent, and the next, the character was sleeping on the ground.

[X]He appeared in the middle of a battle field! Time to wake up!
