[exaldear]

Status: Active
First Name: Ross
Last Name: Anderson
Age: 30
Planet of Birth: Reach
Allergies: None
Occupation: Orbital Drop Shock Trooper (ODST)
Rank: Corpral
Assignment: Recon
Callsign: Ghost

History:

Ross is a lifer. Born on the military world of Reach he lived close enough to the bases that it was sure to influence him as he grew up. He joined as soon as he was able to and after basic training in the Marines he went on to complete training in Recon/Sniper school/ and eventually the ODSTs. Not a stand out, though always in the top half he quickly gained a reputation as a loner and an arsehole. He never really gelled with his training units and managed to annoy everyone at least once.

He was deployed with a Recon unit, code-named Pegasus, late into the Innie war used to scout out locations and even performed headhunter missions. Strictly black book stuff, all these files are currently classfied code X-ray and held by ONI. It was during this period he earned the callsign Ghost.

When the Covvies attacked he was deployed to Harvest with the first wave, sent down early into combat and while down there his unit was slaughtered. He was pulled out and after several pshyc evals was assigned to a new fireteam Monarch. He barely works within the team though, acting as a far forward scout and recon specialist, often providing his team and others with up to the second intel on enemy locations and movements. He may not like his team but he is loyal to them.

He currently has the rank of Corporal but has been promoted and demoted several times for insubordination, starting fights with other soldiers, and one time he broke into Fireteam hades locker and switched their armour and weapons around (He claimed they had ruined a mission of his, but no official mission exits)

Corporal Anderson is known for his rugged weathered armour, as it shows that he has been fighting for some time, and helps blend in. He often looks down on shinies, or those who clean their armour.

Weapons: Current loadout consists of two knives and ab MA5 assault rifle with Recon scope. He is about to ask the armoury for a DMR with extended barrel and muzzle, utilising either standard 14mm or modified 14mm rounds more resembling a sniper round just smaller. He also has be known to utilise the M7S and M6S smg and pistol and at least two grenades.

That is what I have so far.

[kitty]

Status: Active

First Name: UNKNOWN

Last Name: KEENAN-B183

Year Born: 2533

Age: 22

Planet of Birth: Onyx

Allergies: UNKOWN

Occupation: Orbital Drop Shock Trooper (ODST)

Rank: Sergeant

Callsign: KITTY



History:

B183 never knew her home world. All she knew of where she was born was that the Covenant Glassed it in 2537 when she was only four years old. Keenan was raised on the planet XF-063 in the Zeta Doradus system. Colloquially known as Onyx, the planet was home to the SPARTAN-III program. The program was a top-secret project initiated by the Beta-5 Division of the Office of Naval Intelligence’s Section Three in order to produce cheap and expendable supersoldiers to stem the tide of the Covenant’s onslaught against the Outer Colonies. At the time of her rescue from her fallen homeworld, the second company of SPARTAN-III’s had just been approved. 418 candidates were conscripted in 2539 for Beta Company of which Keenan was one.

Beta Company’s training program took place in Camp Currahee and was led by Kurt Ambrose, a SPARTAN-II abducted by the Office of Naval Intelligence to administer the program. Beta Company was put through a tougher training program than any yet seen by the UNSC forces to date. B183 was top of her class for a number of years before eventually being dropped by the program. A Spartan is conscripted at age six and is fully combat ready before they are twelve. Despite initially reacting well to the drugs she was fed, B183’s body ultimately rejected the vast majority of extensive augmentation which lead to her becoming one of the 118 conscripts dismissed.

At this point ONI found themselves with a willing lab rat to experiment on which they could not just release back into civilian life, least someone else capture her and attempt to recreate the Spartan training and testing which had been done to her. So they continued to use her for various experiments. The most important of these was an attempt to create blank soldiers, removing all unwanted emotions from the rank and file such as fear, honour and empathy. The goal was to create soldiers who would never question an order no matter the risk to themselves or to others.

B183’s personality was successfully split into two, each a polar opposite of the other and effectively giving her induced and controlled bipolar. One personality was an ideal tactician and excellent leader. She was good at following orders and was an impressive marksman with the two SMG’s she carried. The second was a loose cannon, fearless and vicious but completely incapable as working as a team player. The second’s personality matched her weapon of choice perfectly. A gravity hammer.

Keenan – B183’s split personality was so distinct that she even warranted her own name, K.I.T.

This of course had not been the goal of the ONI experiment, but the experiment was forced to halt because, in the year 2552, the battle of Onyx commenced. ONI attempted to retrieve as much data as they could but as always is the case things were left behind, such as B183/K.I.T. Covenant forces and multiple ODST Fireteam’s clashed in the mental institute that housed B183. Realizing that no one was going to save her and that she would have to save herself B183 let K.I.T run loose, and she managed to fight alongside an ODST fireteam and escape the planets destruction.

The ODST’s were impressed with B183’s savage combat ability and gave her the offer of joining the war as an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper which she accepted. When asked for her name B183 hesitated briefly before replying, “It’s Kitty.”

[Maine]

Status: Active

First Name: MANE

Last Name: N/A

Year Born: 2534

Age: 21

Planet of Birth: Earth

Occupation: Orbital Drop Shock Trooper (ODST), Designated Medic for fireteam Monarch.

Rank: Corporal 

Callsign: MAINE

History: 
MAINE grew up on earth, in a civilian home. He was a smart kid, who learnt fast, was easy going and friendly.
Stories of the war on the outer rim had been circulatiing on earth, but MAINE never really paid them much heed. This changed when he was enlisted into the Marines, without a choice in the matter to aid in the fortification of Earth. He quickly showed that he had the compassion, skills, and intelligence needed to be an ideal medic, and was offered a place as a Medical Corpsman. He accepted the position and quickly became good at the job, finally having something that engaged his mind a lot more than a regular marines life did.
When the covenant assaulted earth, MAINE was deployed on the surface with various squads of marines, and was involved in saving the lives of many wounded soldiers during skirmishes with Covenant ground forces. He had decided that as a medic, he would for the most part be tending to wounded, and sprinting to downed solders, so he needed to move light and fast. Because of this, he did not take a rifle or SMG into battle, opting to use a pistol during firefights. He became a rather good shot with a pistol, or possibly just lucky. No one has found out which yet, but whatever it was, it kept him, and many of his unit alive.
He received some rather major wounds however, during the fighting, including a couple of needler rounds to the leg, that fortunately didn't Chain react. The majority of the shards were dug out by himself as soon as he got to cover, and the rest were removed after the squad fell back. He also took a couple of hits from Carbine snipers, as well as Narrowly avoiding death at the hands of a Gravity hammer wielding Brute chieftain. He survived only because a well timed sniper shot took the beasts head off as it was swinging, But he was still thrown back and concussed by the shockwave it produced as the blow landed a foot to the right. These injuries were sustained almost without fail, because of his desire to help his squad, and misjudging the immediate danger of the war zone. His squad mates have seen him through all these encounters, but he has the scars to show his dedication. 
After the Human Covenant war ended, MAINE stayed on briefly in the Med corps, and was involved in some skirmishes against human insurrectionists. He became known for being willing to tend to the enemy wounded, as well as marine wounded, when he was able. 
Corporal MAINE was invited to join the ODST a few months after the battle of earth. He was told that a dedicated medic was needed for a fire team under the command of an unusual Sergeant. MAINE accepted the offer, and was assigned to fire team Monarch, under the command of Sergeant Keenan. Keenan had been part of the Spartan-II training, but had not reacted well to the enhancements, and thus had been used by ONI as a test subject for other military experiments. These experiments had given her extreme bipolar, being an excellent tactician and leader half the time, and a lone wolf vicious killer the other half. It had been decided that a medic would be a good addition to the fire team to keep Keenan alive, if she rushed off into the fray in her lone wolf state of mind. MAINE had shown the skill, and the dedication to both be an ODST, but also to keep up with Keenan and keep her safe if she fell.
MAINE gets on with his squamates as best he can, being naturally friendly. he has dragged some of his squad out of some nasty situations, and they in turn have saved him time and again when he has risked his life attempting to save someone. 

Having a slim build, MAINE must rely on his guns, or being fast with his knives during close combat situations. He carries two knives with him, one being a combat knife, for silent kills and close combat situations, and the second being a sterilised one, used for battle field operations, such as digging out bullets, amputating appendages, and cutting bandages. This is washed and cleaned after every use if possible.  He does use both in combat if necessary, and can thrown them half decently.  He is decent in hand to hand fighting, as all ODST are, but has the downside of having a smaller build. 

MAINE was told by UNSC command to keep an eye on, and try to prevent Kitty acting in a way that was undisposed to a mission. Keenan has expanded on this order, giving the medic permission to use physical force to restrain Kitty when the need arises. This often leads to heated arguments between MAINE and an angry Kitty trying to do something untactical, unethical, or unwise. on many such occasions in the past, it has ended with Kitty going off to do said unwise thing anyway, and being tackled to the ground by MAINE until the moment of danger had passed, or Kennan returned. MAINE often walks away from these incidents with a fair few bruises and scrapes, due to Kitty not being pleased at being restrained.
