The Battle For Reach: Interactive.
Since I need to achieve more in the writing scheme, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a writing interactive. A few of these were tried in the past with minimal success, however another attempt couldn't hurt. Basically, you control your character through the battle-torn planet of Reach, just as you would your avatar through the online version on the console. The only difference is: no intentional killing of other players characters without their consent, no godmodding or rediculous claims; basically nothing you couldn't do normally.
I'll just sketch up a quick template for people to outline their character with, feel free to make it as long or short as you wish, however the longer it is the more you'll be able to interact with others as others will know more about your character.
Name:
Faction (REDD or BLUE):
Soldier Class (Infantry, Marksman, Sniper, etc.):

Personality:
History:
Once a few people sign up, I will begin with an opening scene and we will all continue from there. Others can feel free to trickle in afterwards, I would just like to get started ASAP. You don't have to start at the scene I provide, it will just be an opener post. Thanks for your help in the Interactive and enjoy yourself!
Re: The Battle For Reach: Interactive.
Name: Sergerous Mers
Faction: R.E.D.D.
Soldier Class: Recon Sniper
Appearance: Age 34. 6'2" 230 lbs. Short cropped dark brown hair and blue eyes.
Personality: Silent. Always keeps his thoughts to himself, unless needed. He only trusts three men in the entire galaxy and those men would be the men in his small Headhunter unit.
History: At the age of 19, Sergerous became a Headhunter after his first mission as a Spartan-III which mission details have been terminated ever since the UNSC broke up. His unit was named "Nightmare" shortly after a night op they were ordered to perform turned from one simple target, to an entire BLUE base. Sergerous still keeps his SPI armor for use, only he has upgraded and added his own personal modifications to it. He installed a standard issue MJOLNIR kinetic shield system to it and a few other armor mods.
After joining REDD his unit was disbanded, due to no need for a highly covert unit such as themselves, when REDD picked up FEAR.
Sergerous went to Earth and started a family, although soon enough his past caught up with him and his family had been killed while he was at work. Upon coming home he found his only loved ones dead, and began searching for their killers. The chase lead him straight to Reach. He killed the man who was responsible, but he wasn't and old General gone sour. He was a BLUE Colonel. Sergerous upon hearing of a conflict going to break out between the REDD and BLUE forces on Reach. He suited up again, and contacted his old unit. They enlisted and were returned to their old ranks and status. Nightmare lurks in the shadows of Reach aiding an entire Battalion of Royal Enforcers or assassinating BLUE officers.
Re: The Battle For Reach: Interactive.
Name: Cody Franklin Shaer
Faction (REDD or BLUE): REDD
Soldier Class (Infantry, Marksman, Sniper, etc.): Special Forces Commander/Urban Warfare Specialist
Appearance: Six feet tall, short salt & peper hair, a muscular 220 lbs, green eyes, multiple scars to body, arms, and down right cheek, ODST tattoo on left tricep.
Personality: Gruff, no nonsense attitude when on mission and dealing with "green" soliders, relaxed with long time friends and trusted comrades, follows what he believes to be right, sometimes ignoring orders. Loyal to friends, extremley deadly, his past missions make him wonder how much longer he can go on fighting.
History: His birth, on a UNSC Cruiser, is currently classified, and after years in cryo sleep on a freighter on route to Earth, he was defrosted and put up for adoption as neither parent could be located. Adopted by a small farming family on Earth, Cody would later learn of his birth on his 16 birthday, where he swore to find who his true mother and father were. He later learned their names, but decided to keep the file sealed for security. Both of his parents has served the UNSC, his father a Drill Instructor and hand to hand combat instructor while his mother was a Doctor. Both of his parents parted ways for their work that would help change the fate of humanity during the Covenant War era, Cody has never met either of them, and their location is currently unknown. Cody was an excellent student and Thrashball player. Following his birth father, he joined REDD at 18, quickly advanced through all of hs training and became youngest Lieutenant ever to lead a Special Forces ODST unit at 20. Reaching Commander at 25, he reached his 1000 mission mark the day before his promotion. He has been awarded almost every medal the REDD has, although most of his mission reports are classified. He has taken part in numerous conflicts of past and now at 34 has a wife, two sons, and a daughter. His dossier is sealed, only the highest of REDD can access it. He holds many dark secrets, and is one of the few REDD offcers to have the same level of clearance as the Emporers most trusted staff, as he has escorted and saved the life of the Emporer twice.
Donkey, I can open up myself in more detail once it gets going.

Meh, sure, it isn't like I'm too busy at the moment. I'm not sure I'll have much time to participate in this, but it could be enjoyable.

Re: The Battle For Reach: Interactive.
I prolly wont even remember this thread but why not.
Name: Dalton HD
Faction (REDD or BLUE): Red
Soldier Class (Infantry, Marksman, Sniper, etc.): Suicide bomber (that uses armour lock to survive)
Appearance: Tall, with a charred uniform and brown thin cut beard.
Personality: Certifiably insane.
History: When he lost his mother and family (his dad left at a young age) to a covenant bombing (he miraculously survived by a bit of luck) he vowed revenge on the covenant, and enlisted in the UNSC. He started out in explosive ordinance and learned how to most directly effect the enemy with a bomb. It ended up being suicide bombing as the best tactic, and he developed skill with armour lock to survive blasts. When the covenant war ended, he still didn't have anything to go back to, so he joined forces with the Red because red is the color of fire. His comrades were also choosing the Redd side. There his tactics were supported and could expand on his technologies. He developed more advanced methods (and trained to be able to move little by little with armour lock engaged to a 97.46% percent instead of the 100% before. He expanded his suit and wore light protective padding to cover the remainder, and modified his suit to allow walking movement while in armour lock.
Re: The Battle For Reach: Interactive.
Name: John Dobson
Faction: REDD
Class: Squad leader, Spartan.
Appearance: 5 feet 9 inches tall, 180 lbs. Shaggy, dark brown hair, greenish blue eyes, slightly tan skin, a bit heavily built.
History: Joined the UNSC at the age of 16 in 2606, a month before the UNSC split. Joined REDD soon after the split. Drafted into the Spartan III project in 2607 after showing ideal traits, spartan training completed in 2608. Promoted to XO of his squad later that year after showing amazing dedication and tactical prowess, and CO in 2609 after the death of his former CO. Most of his military career is spent behind or on enemy lines, destroying BLUE fortifications to allow REDD troops through and fighting alongside these troops when they get there. Capable with all weapons (as he has also trained his squad to be), he fits into almost any combat situation perfectly. The death of his CO, however, still haunts him a little, and may sometimes affect his judgement. Deployed to Reach in 2611 at the age of 21.
I like interactive stories.:)
Re: The Battle For Reach: Interactive.
Name: Jacob Hogg
Faction: BLUE
Class: Spartan IV; Lt
Appearance: 6 feet 2 inches tall, 215 lbs., Caucasian, Short Dark Brown hair, Brown eyes, Muscler build, rough goatee. Usually clad in his Mark V MJLONIR suit with all the necessary inhancements. (Says he can't let go of the history of his kind of suit)
History: Joined the UNSC 2600(0ffically).Drafted into the Spartan program in 2587, when he was 11. Spartan IV training was completed in 2590. Jacob was sent on Black Ops across the universe which is why it took so long for him to become known. Finally, when people actually knew of his existence, he was placed in his first infantry squad in 2605, excactly one year before the split.
Jacob became CO because of this particular part of his history: In 2605,a year and a half before the split, His old squad was traveling on a cruiser, when the ship was attacked by a massive force of Rebels. He and his squad stayed to fight, while every one jettosined to the astroids below. There were overwhelming odds against them, about 85 to 1. After many hit and run tactics, his CO decide to make a stand in the Main Core Room. He had to choose one person to stay behind and set the trap. He doesn't go into much detail after that. We only know that he was found in a Cryo Tube in a lifeboat floating out in space with the ships AI,Endless Winter, managing his life signals.
One month before the split, Jacob became CO of his newly rebuilt squad. He is a really good guy, but anything that reminds him of that dreadful day, he starts to make risky decisions.
He and his new squad happened to be traveling by Reach, when they were flagged down by a "unknown organization" called R.E.D.D. It happened to be 1 day after the split. Since his AI marked the organization as a threat, they engaged in ship to ship combat with the new threat, hince, without knowing, were thrust into B.L.U.E. After defeating the threat, another "unknown organization" called BLUE flagged them down, being friendly. They were told of the split, and were immediantly deployed onto Reach as part of B.L.U.E.
