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,

Granted. It has expired Mayonnaise on it, and you receive food poising. I wish I was moderator of the 343 Industries Community Forum.

Taylor heard the screech of the purple birds behind him, they were headed toward Jacob. The thoughts ran through his mind, like a pack of wild Jackals, "Why did I leave him there? I could have taken him with me. It should have been me! It should have been me! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!" as Taylor's eyes opened wide, and he repeated those five words in a quiet tone, over and over again, as the cold wind still brushed up against the soaring Falcon, it was silent, beep, beep, beep, The radar blinked with two small red dots behind his Falcon, a few Banshee stragglers, Taylor spoke into the microphone, notifying the back crew, "Alright, ladies and gentlemen, hold on to your hats, we got a couple gunslingers back here." as he turned the Falcon at full force, he slowly spun the Falcon 180 degrees, as the Two banshees began letting off bursts of bright blue plasma, the shots dented the hard-armored Falcon, as Taylor let loose the Falcon rotating gun on the left Banshee, as the bullet's pierced it's wings, the right wing shattered off, the whole side of the Banshee burning blue, as it began to spiral, crashing into the ground, the right Banshee still let loose on the Falcon, the bolts flew faster, as the glass cockpit the top of the glass cockpit shattered from the damage, Taylor turned to gun, firing on the head of the Purple menace, as it became ridden with holes, the occupant fired a slow, bright green ball of plasma, as it hurdled toward the Falcon, Taylor let the Falcon drop, as it narrowly avoided it, he quickly restarted the rotors, Taylor was now behind the banshee, and had the upper hand, he let loose one more volley of bullets, as the Banshee exploded in a bright ball, Taylor smiled, and continued to there Destination, finally, his radar turned back on, as a gruff, voice kicked in, "Falcon 4-33 please be advised, you do not have permission to enter this airspace, turn around, or you will be fired upon." as Taylor returned a reply to the man, "We read, we are soldiers, looking to enter the airspace, please confirm permission." as the man answered him, growing angrier, "4-33 we cannot let you in this airspace, turn around, or my guns will rip you to shreds!" as Taylor closed his eyes, and sighed, continuing the conversation, "We read you, but me and my men are going to enter... Would you really shoot a couple of true-blue soldiers, you know what it is like out there... Please." as the man sighed into the microphone, his tone changing, to a much, quieter, sadder tone, he ended the conversation, saying, "4-33 a squad will meet you at the front gate... Over and out..." as Taylor smiled, continuing down the mountain range, over the mountains, he looked below him, there it was, a large, airport, nestled in the canyon. Taylor slowly lowered the Falcon, on an airpad in front of the base, it was guarded, he opened the cockpit, stepping out, and walking by the left side, to his men, saying, "We made it guys..." as he approached the gate.

Tal' prepared his Phantom, as he held on to the sides, along with his Silver SpecOps squad, the doors of the ship closed as the Phantom detached itself from the cranes holding it in the hanger, and exited, behind it, several seraphs, and many banshees, guarding the ship, as it approached the atmosphere, Tal' put his alien radio near his face, saying, "Battlegroup Torus, how is the distraction going?" as the radio answered with interference, "We are moving in Holy One, we should be able to keep their ships busy." the confident Jackal said, as the audio cut off, the Tal's guardians separated off to help the Battlegroup, as the Phantom landed near the ruins of the forerunner architecture. He ordered one of his guards to block aerial view of the ruins by the elite's ships, as he spoke again into his radio, to the elite he was helping, saying, "They have destroyed the great ruins, it is already too late, but we can avenge the great Forerunners, by not stopping here, friend." as he cut off his radio transmission, ordering a SpecOps elite to shoot the detonator, as Tal' rushed to the phantom, escaping just in time, as the ruins exploded. Tal' transmitted back to the elite, as he continued, "Look for yourself, what the pitiful humans have done."

Taylor was frozen, staring at the injured man in front of him, he remembered how Jacob saved him, and how Jacob was one of his only friends on this now destroyed planet, he could see Red dots on his radar, Phantoms, Banshees, Seraphs, they were fast approaching the mountains, as hunters, to snuff out the last lights of resistance, the Covenant wanted something, it snapped in Taylor's mind, but the sheer shock of everything had a huge effect on him, he wasn't thinking straight, as he closed his eyes for several seconds, and stopped thinking at all, he knew what he had to do, he put his hand out, to shake Jacobs, as he said to him, "Give em' hell, Jacob." as he smiled at his friend, a tears still massing from his red and swollen eyes, he sucked it up, in a ball of emotion hidden deep within him, and only nodded, he pulled the Dog Tags off his neck, and placed them in Jacob's hand, as he said with a smile, "I won't need em' anymore... Good Luck. Oh, and one last thing, We should get together sometime." as the tears continued to sway down his face, he loaded up the Falcon quickly, as he yelled, "Everyone on-board, we are heading for the frigate." as he walked towards Ashley and John Murphy, ordering them in a quiet tone, "You two, on the guns. Don't fire unless they fire first." as he rushed into the cockpit, strapping the leather seat-belt on, as he clicked the dashboard, starting it in a green glow, as they lifted up into the cold air, Taylor noticed something, the sun finally shone in through the clouds, it was morning, he looked down at Jacob, as he lifted his right hand, saluting Jacob, and moving towards the far end of the outskirts. The enemies didn't seem to care about them, yet. They were focused on the ground, there must have been more survivors.

Taylor's smile wiped from his face, he looked like he was about to cry, like his best friend was just pulled away from him, it felt like when he watched his wife die, he let out a tear, as he only said in a raspy voice, "Jacob... No, please... We can get you off of here... Please..." as a single tear rolled down his eye, it twisted in the cold wind, as it flew off his cheek, following the wind.

Fanboys? Ppsh... I am not a fanboy, somebody like you insulting Halo: Reach for a highly illogical reason, I am only proving you wrong, if you had GOOD reasons, then I would agree, but this post really should be locked, or deleted.

Taylor only nodded at Ashley, he knew he would have to pilot, he went back to the pelican one more time, to check for any remaining supplies, he stumbled on a Crate, as he found two MA5K Carbines, and an M45D Tactical Shotgun, Taylor tossed away his old one, figuring he could upgrade to this newer version, now unto the carbines, he carried both of them, as he tossed one a Jacob, snickering, "You know how to operate one of these things?" as he loaded his, he gathered everyone around the Falcon, he took off his helmet, placing it on a crate, his face looked tired, like he was ready to fall and die, and that is how Taylor felt, cold, tired, beaten, but he had to be an example, to the men and women he led, he looked at them, letting out a deep sigh, and saying, "I know what you want to hear... But, I wish, I didn't have to tell you the truth... All of us, may not make it out of here, you all know that, deep down... Rook... Joseph, died, but he died a hero, he died without a single sin that man... We, made it this far... And we are almost out of it... It was an honor to serve this far with all of you," as he saw the same man in the green armor again, except this time, he had his helmet off, he was bleeding, but he was also smiling at Taylor, Taylor looked at him and smiled back, as he became somewhat defiant, he turned his head to Ash, and continued his speech, "I can't promise all of your hopes or dreams but there are some things I can promise... I would follow each and every one of you people to hell and back, and I know you would do the same for me... And I promise you, that I would go back and do it all again if I had to... We are going home, either on that ship or in a box... Fight to go home on that ship, fight with me, to get off this hellhole, and make it back alive! Who's with me?" as he smiled, looking back on the dying man, he was gone, like he had disappeared.

Tal' wasn't taking any chances, he immediately turned to the Huragok controlling the ship, and yelling, "Transfer controls to the Talons! This is where it begins! Battlegroup Torus, get your crew into the atmosphere, Battlegroups Shelo and Rorak, wait for my mark!" as Tal' waited to see what the Elite would do with his ships, he ordered yet another cruiser to enter the battle, as the cruiser lied in wait, out of the range of both sides cannons.

I personally prefer him as a male, because it is kinda cool to imagine myself as Noble 6, although, I believe females run slightly faster. Still, I agree their should be more GOOD female characters, Kat was plain annoying, and Palmer is a complete jerk, I mean, what the hell? I don't hate female characters, it is just they are not putting much effort into them.
