He turned to ash, as he said to her, "I promise you, this time, we go together...Alive or dead." as he smiled at her, then he got a response from Murphy, which made his eyes open wide, as he replied to him, "Murphy... I used to know a Murphy... Wait a minute... John Murphy?" as his head tilted up to look at the man.

Taylor chuckled at what the man said, he replied to him, "Sir? I ain't no sir, that's for sure... You know... I'm more of, An Underdog..." as he smiled at the man, still trying to hold the wound, he asked, "You got a name?" as he tried to comfort Ashley.

Taylor was in the middle of Mal's response, when he could hear a trooper requesting help, and it was nearby, Taylor picked up Ashley, as he held the wound, he rushed to the man, as he finally saw him, the man from earlier, running from a Storm Elite, Taylor opened fire with his shotgun, sending the elite reeling back in force, as it banged it's head on a control panel, knocking it out, Taylor's eyes were tired, he looked at the man, and only nodded, as he set Ashley down by a wall, continuing to hold the wound.

Taylor replied to Ashley with a calm voice, "Soon, soon, I promise." as Taylor detached the chest piece, as he could see the puncture wound, but it would be hard to keep all the blood down, he took out a paper towel, and put it on the wound, to absorb the blood, and prevent more blood loss, hopefully. Taylor put his TAC/COM to his mouth, "Hey Mal! Do you read?" he said with a calm voice, shaking his head slightly, he said again, "Listen, got anything that can stop blood loss? I got an injured soldier over here." he said, keeping a keen eye out for covenant.

Taylor's fun was interrupted when he heard Ashley, he jolted backward, as he was caught in a rush, he turned left, he was almost near ashley, as he had the elites in his sight, they were chattering as they finally noticed a sprinting Taylor, as he used his Thruster pack, and kicked the elite back, and as he was flipping in the air, shot the other elite standing on Ashley, both were lightly injured, as Taylor fired three shots into one elite's belly, sticking the Kurki in the others face. He picked Ashley up as he walked back with her on his back, to Ike and Sam, he laid her down, the elite had almost crushed her ribs, she was hurt, Taylor turned to Ike, "You go, get Sam to the bridge, I will stay here, and help hold down the wound, when you reach the bridge, get help."

Taylor had been through a lot, he wanted to joke around with Ike, so he said to him, "Ike... Did I ever teach you the secret to getting a girl?" Taylor said sarcastically, smiling at him. Taylor continued, "If you want to get this girl, you have to feel it, do you feel it Ike?" he continued as he started laughing.

Taylor nodded, "I agree with him! We need to take back what is rightfully ours, and petty quarrels should not stand in our way!" as he pulled out his shotgun, and nodded to Ike and a new friend that Ike had encountered, and they continued to walk their way to the bridge, Taylor walked over to Ike, and asked him in a quiet voice, "Who's that?" looking at the new lady that they had recruited into their rag-tag group.

Taylor looked at Mal, his anger had overcome him, Taylor pulled out his Kurki, and ran forward at Mal, kicking him and knocking him back, as Taylor shoved the Knife into his chest, he wasn't going to kill Mal, after all, Taylor was only scraping him, he pulled the helmet off of Mal, he looked so much like Jacob, this angered Taylor, as he began beating at him, he said to him, "DON'T. YOU. EVER. F**KING. TOUCH. ONE. OF. MY. FRIENDS!!!!!" as he continued hurting him.

Taylor sat on the floor, blood running down his nose and mouth, as he rushed forward, grabbing Mal's neck and pulling him back, whispering in his ear, "You are nothing like the selfless man your brother was, you are a self-concerned, greedy, worthless, piece of s***, your brother was a wise and good man, and this is how you carry on his name, by beating up the marine who SAVED YOUR BROTHER'S LIFE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS! I should snap your neck right now, but luckily for you, I need you alive." as he let go of Mal's neck so he could breath, he turned to Ike and Ashley, and said, "C'mon guys.. Let's go." as he wiped the blood from his nose. He picked his helmet up off the floor, and started it up, he noticed, someone contacted them on radio.

Taylor saw the man take the Dog-tags, and a war urge came over him, he punched the spartan IV to floor, fighting with him for the dog-tags, as he punched the man, he said, "THEY BELONG TO ME!" with anger, as he mercilessly beat at him with his fists. All of a sudden, he stopped, he didn't know why, but he did, the world around him changed, to the snowy hill where his pelican crashed, he saw Jacob, his leg still bleeding, he was reliving Jacob's goodbye, he couldn't do it, he grabbed his head, and closed his eyes, as he yelled, "NO! NO! PLEASE! No... No..." He opened his eyes, and he was back, his arm aimed to break the man's skull... He grabbed the dog-tags out of the man's hand, and Taylor wrapped them on his own neck.

Taylor walked with the man, as he started in front of the Medic, and grabbed his neckpiece, hard, he said to him in an angry voice, his teeth grit, "Listen to me... Jacob was my f**king friend, and a good man, DO I LOOK LIKE THE JOKING TYPE?!" Taylor said, tears running down his face, he let go of the man, and continued walking, there was surprisingly little covenant left, a couple a grunts if they got lucky, then, the door opened, and they entered it, a pristine white room, with the machines they were looking for, Taylor turned to his new friends, "Alright everybody suit up!" Taylor said as he walked forward, entering a machine, right behind Ashley's, as his boots were equipped, LG-50 Bulk leg pieces, as they equipped his recruit chest, putting on his ODST shoulder pieces, his XV-27 Shifting arm pieces, as the machine hissed while it was being done, as the helmet glided down, and was equipped the HUD starting up as Taylor's shields adapted. Taylor then stepped off the machine, as he walked forward, as Ashley's headpiece was equipped. Taylor then walked toward the armory, picking up his standard Shotgun and Thruster Pack. As he turned to Ike and Ashley, asking, "Just like old times?" with a smile.

Taylor looked at the Spartan Medic, he was asking about the dog-tags, Taylor's face became cold, as he seemed pale, he finally spoke, "He was my friend... He saved my ass more times then I could ever pay him back for... And he died to make sure we could leave..." he picked up the burnt and dented dog-tags, as he continued, "And it should have been me..." as he stared at his cut up and burnt hands.

[Don't wanna burst your bubble, but, I'm not in Armor, I even said it in the last post.]

Taylor dusted off his shoulder, and said nonchalantly, "Yeah, I'm fi-" but he was cut off when he looked at her, he stuttered back up as he said, "A- Ash? Is... Is that you?" as he smiled. But it wasn't the best time for a reunion, they had to go, Taylor had gotten to his window, they were a little far above the ground, but a well placed jump could get them safe, Taylor whipped out his bloody Kurki, and cut open the side of the room, as it fell to the jungle floor with a clang, Taylor closed his eyes and jumped, as he landed, he rolled on the floor, coughing up dirt and blood, and he picked himself up, he could see carnage taking place, Scorpion tanks were defending the ship from covenant infantry, they needed to assist in this before they could try for the armory to suit up, Taylor ran behind a scorpion tank, firing off rounds at Storm grunts, as the infantry began to become mowed down by hornets, they had cleared the way, the scorpions began moving up, as Taylor jumped on top of one, he knocked on the glass, as he opened the cockpit of the tank, he spoke, "Hey buddy, feel like telling me where the machines are? You know, the ones that put you in armor?"

Commanders of Tanks? But... There aren't really many tanks yet, so... I really don't see the point. Approved, Noway! I knew you'd come around, accepted! Good backstory, Accepted, we will start now. Link for the thread incoming. Accepted, you may now post.

If you haven't signed up here: http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/30809-halo-requiemrp-signup/ Then you cannot post here yet, go ahead and post if you have signed up and I have approved you. Anyway, we will start. It had been four years, four long years, since Taylor could hold a gun, and not drop to the floor crying, or even bare to watch someone die by his hand. It had taken a mental toll on him, some even went as far as saying he should be put in an psychological facility, or decommissioned, Taylor hadn't seen the men and women he helped get off Reach in years, John, Tyler, Ike, Ashley... None of them... Taylor is back on duty, and so is the Covenant, and it is going to be hard, but we must try to push them back... Taylor stared out his window on the Infinity, he looked around him, it was a small room, kind of like on Reach, his flashbacks seemed to grow evermore in length and vastness, he started to experience things that didn't make much sense. He had two bunks, one for him, and one for another Spartan IV, and today, was going to be a hell of a day, Taylor just didn't know it yet, all of a sudden, the lights went out, as an Orange glow pierced the ship, it formed a symbol, like one of the symbols in his visions, and flowed swiftly through the ship, as it started to become pulled in the spherical silver planet that they were heading for, as the ship rocked, some emergency lights flickered on, Taylor dropped everything and ran out of the room, as he passed by multiple soldiers, he was running for the Armory, he wanted to grab a gun, and fast. He pulled open the locker, inside it was multiple pictures of him and his wife, and Jacob's dog-tag, recovered by the UNSC, and of course, a small, Magnum, Taylor pulled it out and cocked it back, when out of no-where, BOOM! Taylor fell to the floor, the gun still in his hand, he picked himself up, as sirens could be heard, he started walking slowly back to his room, keeping his magnum steady, as he opened a door, an Elite rushed head-on into him, knocking him to the floor, as the elite snarled in his face, Taylor shot it, about six times, sending it back, but it's shields were still up, he needed help, he called, "Somebody who's got a gun, get over here, I got a Gator! Please!" as the elite snickered and pulled out his energy sword.

Accepted, welcome back, Ike,

Yay, Ashley is back, Accepted.

Taylor watched the door close, as the ship began to prepare for ascension. He turned, watching the mass of Phantoms landing nearby, and the elite leading them all, the silver menace, Taylor began firing on them, the tank bomb from earlier in his left hand, as he fired from the right, pulling off headshots on Grunts and Jackals, the bomb was counting down, as he locked eyes with the elite, he swung the bomb at the elite, as he turned running the other way, but the bomb counted down, beep, beep, beep... BOOM! The bomb exploded in a wave of fire and debris, it was encroaching on Taylor, as he closed his eyes, still running, he opened them, the world was in slow motion, as flowers grew out of the ground, and it was sunny and bright, Taylor saw what mattered most to him, His crew, safe and sound, having drinks in an outdoor cafe, Taylor smiled at this, and let himself go, as the explosion burned most of the area, even catching Phantoms in it's grasp, but it wasn't meant as an area bomb, it destroyed nearby air units, like a mushroom cloud, as the ship escaped into the atmosphere, most covenant ships were gone, they were searching for something else, as the ship escaped, without many pursuers. They finally made contact, with Earth. They were coming home. The room was dark, it seemed dead, as a single light flickered above, a middle-aged woman, asked, "Mr. DeCello?" as a voice came from the darkness, "Yeah..." [That is it everyone, this was an incredibly fun journey, and it hasn't ended here, sign up in the sequel thread, http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/30809-halo-requiemrp-signup/, Halo: Requiem, to be a part of a new frontier, thanks to everyone who participated, I will see you starside, ]

RP Thread: http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/30823-halo-requiemrp-thread/ Halo: Requiem is a sequel to my original RP, Halo: Radioactive. 4 Years after those events, the original members, and others, are now members of the UNSC assaulting Requiem's remaining Covenant and Promethean resistance. Now, for this thread, I will allow people to be Spartan IVs, on ONE condition, that they have the same strengths as every other UNSC force. Disobey this, and you will be given a warning. Now, everyone is allowed to join, and this RP will last longer, due to it's open world plot, there is no rush to get anywhere, it is simply an open-world experience. Now, unto how to create a character, Full Name: [Example: Jane. B Doe] Occupation: [ODST, Marine, Pilot Marine(Halo 3), Spartan IV, or Hellbringer,] Armor Aesthetics: [Ex. Light Blue, stained visor, grainy red stripe down helmet] Facial Appearance: [Ex. Saturated Green eyes, scar running down cheek] Equipment/Weapon of choice: [Ex. Armor Lock, Customized Magnum with sights] Backstory: [Ex. Born on Harvest in a poor family... etc] Now that that is out of the way, let me show you my character, Full Name: Taylor DeCello Occupation: Spartan IV (originally an ODST) Armor Aesthetics: Mark. V helmet, Recruit chest, ODST shoulders, Solar visor, Red star on right side of Helmet, Red arrow going down top of the helmet to visor, chipped pieces, jackal finger tied to necklace, "Remember Reach." scrawled on back of helmet. Facial Appearance: Brown eyes, Spiked black hair, right side of face riddled with burn marks, noticeable plasma burn on cheek, bruises and dirt scattered on face. Equipment/Weapon of choice: Thruster Pack, Frag Grenades, M90 Close Assault Weapon System Shotgun Backstory: Born on Earth, originally Taylor Black, Taylor lived under a very rich military, expected to follow in his distant father, General Black's footsteps, Taylor did in fact join the Military, rising to the ODSTs quickly due to his Parent's pull in his Military life, which often led to taunts by fellow marines. This hardened Taylor and made him a rock hard soldier. After a surprise attack at his father's military acadamy, which led to his death, he changed his last name, losing any contact with his parents. He was stationed to Reach by a commanding officer, to fight Rebels Quezon's outskirts, where word came of two things, one an oncoming invasion, and two a UNSC ship hidden, he went on believing neither of these. Then, Reach became a warzone. He met and lost many friends, as he detonated a bomb in Quezon's airport, eliminating Covenant ships, and letting a shuttle pass through to Earth, and although he was burned in the process, he survived, but he almost starved to death on Reach, when about two months after the event, he was discovered, and returned to earth, and labeled a survivor, his persistence, and defiance in battle, earned him many credentials, as he was handpicked by a sniper, who survived Reach, to become a Spartan IV. He now serves as another Captain on the Infinity. We will start after three accepted applicants.

(Second to last post, this is just Taylor's goodbye) Taylor's voice began to break, as tears fell down his face, he said with a voice, already breaking up, "Ashley..." as he looked at her, he saw his wife, and it became clear in his mind what he was fighting for, he continued, his voice still saddened, "Goodbye... Please... Promise me... Promise me, you will get off of here, and you will never give up... Do that for me... Please..." he said, tears rolling down his face, as he hugged Ashley, he didn't want to let go, but a smile grew on his face, as he began backing up, tears rolling down his cheek, he knew what he had to do, "Goodbye." he said quietly and broken.

Taylor gritted his teeth, and clutched his hands, suddenly, his head flew upward, as he yelled, "EVERYBODY SHUT UP!" as he opened his eyes, taking heavy breaths, as he calmed himself down, and he began speaking again, "Okay... So, you guys have a frigate, we have people, let's make this work?" as the guard said to him, in a seemingly tired voice, "I need to see your ID." as Taylor became angry again, he brought his hand forward, grabbing the man's neck and holding him in the air, saying, with his teeth grinding against each other, "Listen, You want ID?" as he brought out his magnum, putting it on the Radio Operator's forehead, and continuing, "Here's my Damn ID... So listen, You can let us in, and I can get my f**king men off this rock, or you can let another innocent squad of men and women DIE... What's it gonna be?" as he let the Radio Operator down, him replying, "That's not going to happen, you have ten seconds to run..." as Taylor heard the clicks of Snipers, lasers covered his body, they had snipers around the area, all of a sudden, a bright green explosion blew open the gate, and killed the guards in the front, knocking Taylor back. He groaned, looking around, as his VISR mode began adapting to the multiple banshees scouring above the area, as one swooped in fast, it was on fire, it exploded behind the gate, as more banshees surrounded the area, Taylor picked himself up off the floor, as he turned, looking at Ashley, Ike, John, the crazy Hellbringer, and the Civilian, as he screamed, "FOLLOW ME, AND DON'T STOP FOR ANYTHING!" as he swapped guns, for his MA5K, and began sprinting across the somewhat barren airfield, as he ran, he turned his head, a Marine fired a Rocket Launcher, which blew up the incoming Seraph, more marines ran across the field, getting killed, as a Phantom lowered only a dozen feet away from Taylor, dropping off a squad of Grunts, he stopped and quickly turned right, as a Hunter dropped in front of him, knocking him back from the blast, he began to again hallucinate, he remember the hunter dropping into the mess hall in the town, he shook his head, getting up, as the Hunter's attention turned, to a Hornet, blasting at it, the Hunter charged up his gun, keeping his shield in front of him, as he fired, and Taylor witnessed the Hornet explode in a ball of debris, he had no time for it, he changed direction, and ran left, in the distance, he could see multiple squads of Scorpions, that must have been the frigate they were protecting, Taylor sprinted as fast as he could, Banshees swooped overhead, most didn't even notice Taylor, as an Elite minor, wielding a sword, dropped right in front of him, the Minor kicked him to the floor, as he put his foot on Taylor's ribs, it hurt, as they began breaking, the elite primed his energy sword, as Taylor hallucinated, and saw Jacob, impaling the elite with his own sword, but this was only a vision, as he was unaware, a Warthog opened fire on the elite, as the elite pulled out his plasma pistol, and shot it, running backwards, Taylor blinked, and picked him self up as the Warthog stopped in front of him, the Driver, a marine, turning to him, as the Marine's head splattered open, from a Beam rifle shot, more Phantoms, this time, Taylor's enemy was there, a Silver elite jumped out from the ship, holding a Concussion rifle in each hand, as an injured marine shot at his armor a few times with a magnum, the elite snickered, and fired a shot from his concussion rifle at him, the Commander had perfect vision, he could see Taylor, his scarred eye opened wide, as he yelled at the officer to his left, "Watch the flank." he said, as he began running, Taylor muttered curses under his mouth, as he yelled to his squad, "GET IN THE HOG, C'MON!" as he entered the driver's seat, making sure everyone was on-board, he slammed the pedal, as the warthog turned, the Elite jumped dozens of feet into the air, and slammed on the hood of the Warthog, stopping it from moving and breaking the windshield, Taylor picked up his Shotgun and fired twice into the elite's chest, sending it reeling backwards as he clutched the floor, and the hog went full speed towards the scorpions, the elite growled as he began aiming at the Hog, firing shots at it, Taylor swerved and whisked by the shots, as he continued slamming forward. Finally, they made it, they reached the barrier, as the Marines attention directed toward them, they all aimed their guns at the crew, as one said, "You aren't allowed here!" as a sword impaled his chest, the marines didn't notice before it was too late, as elites uncloaked, killing the Infantry, they hopped unto tanks priming grenades on the hoods as the tanks were quickly destroyed, more Phantoms emerged overhead, as Taylor jumped out of the car, charging forward with his shotgun, and bursting six rounds in the face of a Minor, who quickly fell, he defended the position, as he yelled to his men, "Everyone, get in the ship, let's go!" Continuing to fire, as his radar bleeped with multiple contacts, they were all around him, he turned to Ashley, "Ash... You know what I have to do..." looking back at the on-coming mass.

Taylor holstered his new shotgun on his back, and walked up to the radio operator, the both guards near him raised their assault rifles at Taylor and his squad, he turned his head to Ash, just nodding, as he raised his hands in the air, quickly pulling out his Shotgun, and his MA5K, tossing the MA5K to Ike, as he aimed his gun at the man, swapping his aim from guard to guard, as he snickered at them, "Looks like we got ourselves an old-fashioned Mexican standoff, maybe you should holster your f**king firearm, and we can work this out diplomatically?" as the left guard looked towards the right, and both holstered their weapons, as did Taylor, he looked at their commander, a radio operator, and asked, "We are looking for the shuttle you guys seem to have here, and we are running out of Oxygen so please move so we can board it." as he glanced at John.

The Red Death has a Borderlands mixed with Gears look, which I like, I will enjoy slaughtering my enemies with it, as for the Fallen Statue, if I was there, I would be taking so many pictures at so many different angles,

That looks perfect, sorry to overload you with pictures, THANKS,
