Right now, I'm going to allow two characters per person.  Each character is dual-purpose.  One shipside, one military.  Some characters, such as corpsmen and pilots, will have the same purpose for bothThe roster is listed below.  If you want a job you don't see listed, go ahead and list it.  I'll decide on a case-by-case basis whether or not to accept the job.  I'm leaving the captain spot open for someone else to take, but I will be functioning as a game moderator and will control NPCs as necessary.

Name: Mark Phillips
Age: 24
Rank: Hospital Corpsman Second Class

He has a UNSCN tattoo on his right bicep, and on his left bicep he has the Rod of Aesculapius tattooed over the words "UNSC Navy Hospital Corps". He is clean-shaven and has a large, ugly scar on his stomach from a fragmentation wound three years prior.

[AlphaWolf]

There is no UNSC XO. It's a joint operation with the UNSC in charge, the Sangheili Sub-Captain as XO, and the Kig-Yar sub-captain as 2nd Officer.

[Deleted]

Yeah, but Commander is also too low to be the cap'n, so what do you suggest?

[AlphaWolf]

Perhaps one of the Chief officers?

[Deleted]

What rank will captain the ship, cos I could bump it up?

[AlphaWolf]

It would be a Captain, Price. Duffle, approved.

[Deleted]

What about an Admiral?

[Dufflepud]

Actually, I think I'd rather RP R'ha instead 

Name: R'ha 'Katolai

Age: 70

Rank: Councilor

Height: 10’4”

Weight: 814 lbs unarmored, 1405 lbs in armor

Appearance:

Artwork by Huka

R’ha is a simply gargantuan specimen of a sangheili. He towers over his brethren, taller than, if not heavier than many Jiralhanae. He extraordinarily well built, with muscles like steel cables wrapped around a massive frame. Having fought in countless battles, his body is littered with scars, especially in his upper chest and arms. The only scar he has on his face is one that starts on his forehead above his right eye and ends just above his lower left mandibles. He received this as a young warrior when a strike from another sangheili’s curve blade very nearly took off half his face. This occurred during an honor duel after R'ha defeated another in a competition and was challenged.

R’ha proudly wears a set of traditional armor that has been passed down through his family for centuries, an allowance made for only the highest ranking sangheili in the military. In addition, his well-worn battle harness is engraved in covenant glyphs befitting his rank, and he wears the cloak attributed to one of his position. This cloak is a dark red, and it fastened to his shoulder pauldrons. His armor is significantly heavier and thicker than the standard harness given to Field Marshalls, with significantly fortified plating, although with the powerful shielding device installed into his harness, this is more for show than out of necessity.

Like other members of his clan, R’ha bears some physical distinctions from other sangheili due to their genetic isolation on the world of Immaculate Vale for over a thousand years. They have longer claws, and their hooves are more flexible. Also, they have slightly disproportionately long limbs, and dense, wiry muscles. All of this allows for better maneuvering up and down steep inclines, cliffs, and trees. In addition, his eyes are two different colors, a trait that sometimes shows up among members of his family. His left eye is a glowing gold, while his right is a deep green.

Crew Position: Sangheili Sub-Captain/XO

[AlphaWolf]

Duffle, which are you going with? And Kill, no Admirals.

[Dufflepud]

R'ha.

[Arbiter124]

Name: Rex

Age: 41

Rank: Commando

Appearance: 



Rex is normal as far as height goes for the Skirmisher sub-species goes. He is a killing machine. He isn't too muscular, but isn't scrawny. In fact, he is sleek and sharp. He actually looks like he was made to kill. He has been a Commando for about twelve missions now, and has suffered far more scars and wounds than he should have. His love for fighting and inflicting pain has made him arrogant, causing the Kig-Yar to rush into battle unaware of the situation. He feels like he could win anything, and even though he is one of the best Skirmisher fighters of his rank, he has gotten into sticky situations before. This has caused him to gain scratches on his armor and wounds on his skin. One noticeable wound is a scar than runs from his cheek, down his red neck, and onto his chest. His feathers are jet black, and his eyes are a hypnotizing, viper-like yellow. Although, he wears a Commando's helmet and armor on his neck, so the scar and his eyes are not visible on the battlefield. His armor is a lime green shade, with several scratches but still shining after regular cleanings. His arms are sleeveless, and he does not have grade-A lower leg protection either. He is quick though, and the less armor, the lighter he is, and the more deadly he becomes in combat. A fair tradeoff, if you were to ask him.

Crew Position: Kig-Yar Sub-Commander

Military Position: Infantry

[BasedGoody]

N-No Grunts? Goody has upset.

[Dufflepud]

I guess there could be a group of Unggoy, although their lack of technology would mean that they wouldn't contribute to the design in any way. It might also make sense to include a Mgalekgolo or two. That's all up to Alpha, though.

[SuperCommando]

Post reserved for operations officer. Profile to be added shortly. Also... Did you draw that picture yourself, Duffle? Cuz that's awesome! (EDIT: Just saw the artwork by Huka caption. Still awesome though).

Name: Aya Sachiko
Age: 21
Rank: Lieutenant
Physical Description: Of asian descent, Aya keeps her straight black hair as long as possible. She sports an eyepatch over her left eye as a result of an accident several months prior that may at first glance make her seem more menacing then she really is, but in reality she has quite a mellow and peaceful personality. She is a bright young officer whose greatest strength is her ability to keep calm and collected under extreme pressure. Not even the accident that took her eye could make her panic.
Crew Position: Operations officer
Military Position: Security detail for commanding officers
Link: N/A

[AlphaWolf]

Goody, we could always use manual laborers! Kidding, kidding. Truthfully, no. Unggoy wouldn't contribute in any way. Mgalekgolo really wouldn't either, as this ship is built less to support ground troops than it is to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life forms and new civilizations.

[TinCanHitman]

Name: Xin

Age: 43

Rank: Captain/representative of Kig-yar human relaitions 

Physical Description:Xin is a short stocky skirmisher, with bright red plumage. His eyes are cool and green, looking over everything around him. His muscles are well formed with years of working in a mining facility though he is well built he is short for a skirmisher. He wears designer clothes, that he’s stolen, as well as many necklaces and rings. Along with his jewels he wears a large hat and carries a cane-blade. Though on the outside he has these frivolities, under his jacket he carries four of the Kig-Yar boarding pistols and a cutlass.


Crew Position: Cultural studies expert

Military Position: Advanced scout

EDIT: Alpha, Lekegolo are one of the only races to almost beat the covenant. They become smarter the more of them there are and are extremely capable creatures. The only reason they don't have ships is because they don't need them.

[AlphaWolf]

Approved, Tin. And I'm aware that the Lekgolo almost beat the Covenant. I did not say that they don't need ships.

[TinCanHitman]

I brought up the ship part because you said the ship wasn't built to support ground troops. It seemed pertinent when I wrote it.

[Huka]

Name: Til Je'at Ra'ha 'Muramai
Age:  58
Rank: High Inquisitor of the Reformed Inquisition

Physical Description:
 Standing over 9 feet tall and weighing nearly 600 lbs, the interclan bred Zealot Til 'Muramai is the birthchild of a unknown Xirsas father and Muram mother. While he had the characteristic lean and wild body structure of a Muram, including the odd 'desert scales' running on his back and taloned fingers and feet, his great build and size is contribute to the husky build of a Xirsas. With a jaded right eye and dead left, Til's smooth scales is tattooed with tribal markings that denote to his clan-rank as Clan Huntsmaster and few remnants of his burning and battle scars remain since operation.
 He wears a more updated variant of his combat harness used during the Human-Covenant War, with his need of a respirator replaced with an advanced communications and sensor array, and he continues to use a active camouflage for stealth operations or infiltration. Of course, he commonly wears one of his many decorative cloaks of Muram Kaidonship around his shoulders as a sign of pride to his long life on the battlefield and to give off a veiled appearance.

I for one think including the Lekgolo would be a very smart move. They are basically supercomputers, maybe not as good as the Huragok but damn fine all the same. Plus, if we get into a sticky situation--which is basically granted to happen on a journey like this--having them to back us up would be a tremendous help.

And yes, I am bringing the Inquisitors back.

Also, a one-eyed character, SC? I c wat u did thar. xD


Name: Sorsa Ra'ha Je'at 'Xirsasai
Age: ((No idea, since I don't know what year this is taking place))
Rank: High Inquisitor of the Reformed Inquisition
Physical Description: ((I'm lazy, so go read it in his profile))


Crew Position: Operations Officer/Emissary of the Lekgolo
Military Position: Stealth Operations

[Arbiter124]

Is mine approved Alpha?

[BasedGoody]

Fine, Jackal it is.

Name: Web

Age: 25

Rank: Sniper / Major

Physical Appearance: Web wears average armor for a Kig-Yar, with the exception of his helmet, regular for snipers to wear. His was grey, per normal, but has black markings on it, representing his family tree back to the head of a pirate's shuttle. It resembles swirling marks going from the right side to the front. He is of average height and weight, but fairly weak compared to the other Kig-Yar. His hair on his arms is fairly large and unkempt.
He can move very fast when not carrying his beam rifle, as he needed to have good ability to get to spots unreachable by other Covenant species. He has some scars on his right arm from a burn after his Phantom crashed on his first mission as a sniper, it cover his whole forearm and is colored a milky white. He often makes remarks about how he survived it, and shows it off a lot. He uses a blade to carve in his killshots on his chest piece, right below the neck. At the moment six tallies reside there.
He twitches a lot, usually just his eyes, but occasionally his neck ticks under pressure. He has 26 of his 28 teeth left.

Crew Position: Tactical Officer (?)

Military Position: Sniper / Infantry

[AlphaWolf]

All above approved except for Til. Huka, would you mind me assigning him as a Tactical Officer or as Chief Tactical Officer?

EDIT:  ATTN Covenant players: Could you assign your characters respective UNSC ranks?  I can help with this if help is needed.

[Deleted]

Upon request from Alpha, I've agreed to make a ship Captain.

Name: Jack Barbosa
Age: Thirty Seven
Rank: Captain
Physical Description:

Crew Position: Ship Captain
Military Position: Naval Commanding Officer

[SuperCommando]

Wasn't Price gonna be the ship captain, though?

EDIT: Sorry to bust your bubble Kill, just trying to be fair.

[AlphaWolf]

Ah, I had forgotten about Price. Kill, I'm going to hold your app for the moment, pending an app by Price. Provided Price does not post an app, Barbosa will revert to CO. Or you can edit Barbosa into a different position that's not CO or CTO.

[Deleted]

Nah, give it to him. I'll just be chief tac.

Seriously, that's not cool. First you put the UNSC in charge--which, by the way, I don't really mind so much, but still--and now the Covenant can't have their ranks.

Plus, it doesn't even make sense for them to make the switch, and some ranks simply won't work; for instance, what is the equivalent of a Councilor? Or an Inquisitor?

[AlphaWolf]

They get to keep their ranks, 999. The assigning of respective UNSC ranks is merely so us non-Covenant folk can keep track of where they lie in the command structure.
