Forums » RP Discussion » Halo Interest Check

Out of curiosity really, I'm wondering if anyone on RPR has interest in roleplaying some Halo themes. With how popular the games and graphic novels are, as well as how extensive the lore is for the universe around it, I would think at least a few people may be into it, but obviously I'm asking here before I start posting searches that nobody may like. If things get interesting, I may even make a group for it.

I used to be WAY into it back when the first couple came out, but I've since drifted away from the fandom. The sanghelli were my cup of tea, man.

What kind of Halo themes were you most interested in?

Not looking into anything too specific yet, though I've always been a fan of the Headhunter teams, among both the SPARTAN II and III programs. Something was always real interesting about the prospect of these theoretical suicide missions that few returned from. Right now though I'm just seeing who has an interest at all in Halo.

I was really into it at a younger age. But I sort of lost interest after a while. Reach was as far as I played, and a bit of Halo 4. Still, it was definitely interesting. It might be difficult to find someone who's dedicated to the series though.

But even so, a Halo themed RP would be interesting. And it's not too difficult to adapt characters into it either.

The Spartan Program definitely makes a good RP plot. It's an easy excuse to have characters come together and also start with even ground. And jumping in the program instead of some time afterwards gives a good amount of the backstory and logic behind the game.

Just my thoughts though!

Doing an RP during the SPARTAN programs certainly would be interesting, especially with the S-II program. The S-III may be interesting, but the S-II I think would be the best to play out.

I know a lot of the basic stuff, such as the plot of the games, but nothing about the novels and such, but I do really enjoy the games, even though I suck at them. I'd be interested in helping you start up an rp, especially if it was on discord, I'm great at setting up servers

Well I'm not looking for anything off site. If people are interested in something involving the SPARTAN programs though, I could make a group for something like that. I'd say the SPARTAN II program would be the most interesting, if only because it has the most known about it. S-I wouldn't work because most candidates died or were disfigured in some way, including Sergeant Johnson. S-III could potentially work, if people are interested in that, though I'll admit to not being interested in the S-IV program. Those Spartans seemed like barely upgraded ODST troops to me, not super soldiers.

Would you be looking for people to claim specific characters, or create an AU where people were re-working their own characters and/or creating new characters specifically for the program?

Also, would you be looking to start things off at the beginning of the program, or after the kids get their augmentation? And what age did they wind up graduating at? It's been a while... were they sent to start quelling colonists before the Covenant war started?

It really just depends on what people are interested in, hence the interest check. I'd prefer OC characters, which aren't too hard to make with the gaps in the SPARTAN tags, and with the amount that were put into cryosleep for recitation, it could work. I don't know if I'd go to the beginning of the program, but I do want to play through some of their training and interactions and whatnot if that's where things start off.

Cool!

I'll keep my ear to the ground for you, though I have my plate full for November with writing and it's starting to look like my December commitments are going to be "holiday rush" x "an art marketing experiment". I'm not sure where I will have time to squeak in a group RP with all of this silliness... but I do have fond regards for the franchise. I know 'maybe's aren't all that helpful but it would warm my heart to see a Spartan-themed group launch successfully. If I can't join in, let me know if there are other ways I can help and I'll try.

How about this. If a few people make some more Spartan characters (or UNSC/ONI in general), I'll make either a Spartan Program or UNSC themed group and invite them in for a roleplay.

To those that showed interest in this sort of group, I have finally gotten around to making it! It isn't anything spectacular yet, but then, it doesn't exactly have a story to make it that either! Now it's just waiting for some people to join in and build the story up. I've posted a starter post, and have started things aboard the Atlas, where the survivors of augmentation were moved to for recovery and training. The link for the group is below!

Eyy, I know this is kinda dead, but I was just wanting to say that if you are still looking, I'm into halo and its lore.
I have quite a few UNSC (Specifically ONI Section 1 and 0.) characters
