Welcome to the thread of character creation! This thread's sole purpose is to steer you in the best way that it can to create a character for our missions. It will show you tiers, rules, regulations, etc. Although, we wouldn't suggest reading this one time over, as it may be updated in the future. And please, put effort into your characters, it will make the process more enjoyable!
CHARACTER CREATION
If you are making a character, you should always stick to this base plan.
Name:
Age:
Race/Species:
Appearance:
Faction:
Rank:
Height:
Weight:
Skillset:
Team:
Personality
RP Sample:
NOTE: Always bold your headers. Makes our job much easier.
Name: Fairly simple. This is your characters name. Maria, Antonio, Raktus, Zuko, Yayap, etc.
Age: This is your characters age. As this seems fairly simple, I have to tell you all that we mark ages in a human conversion, so there is no need to research Sangheili age. Also, do your best to make your character's age correspond with your character's rank. No 19 year old Gunnery Sergeants.
Race/Species: Race for humans, species for covenant members. This will tell us if you are Hispanic, Asian, etc. Or if you are an Unggoy(Grunt), Sangheili(Elite), etc. This is a one word answer, VERY simple.
Appearance: Give us a brief rundown of your character. Hair color? Scars? Skinny, broad? This should be a descriptive part, about a paragraph long
Faction: Are you human or covenant?
Rank: Your characters rank. Please, be logical with this one, it is very important. We don't want an Elite major who was demoted from councilor. No.
Height: Your characters height, expressed in feet and inches please.
Weight: Your characters weight, expressed in pounds please!
Skillset: What does your character take great pride in? This is supposed to show us what your character excels in. Whether it be CQC, steady handwork, or swordsmanship, please post around two, three, or four of your characters main advantages here.
Team: List your file, fireteam, lance, etc. I don't want any "Lone Wolf" things, unless it fits your character's rank. No loner Marines or anything. Create 3+ characters you will be working with and give a brief rundown of their physical and mental personality.
Personality: What is your character mentally like? Advantages? Disadvantages?
RP Sample: This RP sample should be impressive. It must also meet the word total for each given tier
Tiers
This is important. Tiers are what characters you are allowed to create. You may create as many characters as you would like, but only four may participate in a mission at a given time. The higher the tier, the more important the character.
Points
Points are our 'currency' to make characters. When you first register, you are given a free 25 Points. This is enough to make a Tier 2 character. To gain points, you will have to complete objectives or parts of objectives that are listed in the briefing(first) post. As new objectives pop up as the mission continues, we will update the briefing post so you can see what gets you points to get characters.
When you gain points, wait for Staff to PM you saying that you earned this many points. Upon getting Staff confirmation, you may add it to your point total, which MUST be located in your signature.
Tier 1 - 0 Points
UNSC: Marine Privates, PFC, and Lance Corporals
Covenant: Grunt Minors and Majors; Jackal Minors and Majors
Tier 1 is the lowest tier. They are our main infantry, handling the dirty work for our superiors. Not very likely to effect the story, these characters are still fun to have on hand! On top of that, you can get them for free. A 250 Word RP Sample is needed at the very least.
Tier 2 - 25 Points
UNSC: Hellbringers, Snipers, Spotters, Non Commissioned Officers (Sergeant to Master Sergeant), Junior Fighter Pilots, ODST Privates, PFCs, and Lance Corporals, Captains of Naval Corvettes
Covenant: Elite Minors/Majors, Brute Minors/Majors, Jackal Marksmen, Grunt Ultras, Banshee Fighter Pilots, Skirmisher Minors/Majors
Tier 2 conists of our more experienced infantry men. They are in command of a little more than usual, but still are not a huge part of the storyline. We would like a 500 Word RP Sample for these characters at the minimum.
Tier 3 - 45 Points
UNSC: Commissioned Marine Officers (2LT and 1LT), ODST Non Commissioned Officers (Sergeant to Master Sergeant), Tank Crew Commanders, Captains of Frigates
Covenant: Elite Ultras, Brute Captains & Captain Majors, Skirmisher Murmillos, Grunt Heavies, Grunt Special Ops, Jackal Rangers, Grunt Rangers, Jackal Snipers, Hunters, Commanding Officers of Naval Corvettes
Tier 3 is where the Roleplay's battle hardened commanders are. They are not experienced enough to be off of the field of battle and in cozy commanding chairs, but instead they are in the bloodbath, leading on groups of soldiers to the death. They are valuable to the story, and need a 700 word RP Sample to be accepted.
Tier 4 - 65 Points
UNSC: Marine Senior Officers (Captain-Major), ODST Commissioned Officers (2LT and 1LT), Commanding Officers of Destroyers
Covenant: Special Operations Elite Minors/Majors, Skirmisher Commandos, Brute Stalkers, Brute Captain Ultras, Elite Rangers, Commanding Officers of Frigates
These characters are extremely important to the story. They have the ability to shake it into a new course, and are therefor put in this tier of veteran soldiers, obviously given to only our adept and loyal RPers. They require a 1,000 word RP Sample.
Tier 5 - 80 Points
UNSC: Marine Commanders (Lieutenant Colonel to Colonel), ODST Senior Officers (Captain-Major), Commanding Officers of Cruisers and Carriers, SPARTAN-III's, Ship A.I.'s
Covenant: Special Operations Elite Officers, Elite Generals, Shipmasters, Jackal/Skirmisher Zealots, Commanding Officers of Scarab Tanks, Brute War Chieftains
This Tier is loaded with Veteran soldiers, leading hundreds of allies into battle. They will be only given to our Veteran RPers, and hold a major place in the story. 2,000 words will be needed at the bare minimum.
Tier 6 - 100 Points
UNSC: SPARTAN-II's, Marine Generals, ODST Commanders (Lieutenant Colonel to Colonel), Admirals
Covenant: Sangheili - Zealot Class, Fleet Masters, Shipmasters of CAS-Class Assault Carriers, Brute Chieftains
This tier is given to only the best. We will not accept anything lower than perfection. If you make one of these applications and it is approved, consider yourself in the handful of our best. Their influence over the RP surpasses all others. 5,000 word RP Sample at the very least. Impress us.
