The Plot.
The date is the 28th August 2546 and the Human-Covenant war has been raging for the last 21 years. The outer colonies have long fallen and the siege of the inner colonies has been ongoing for the last 10 years.

The covenants attention has now turned to New Llanelli, the last planet that has yet to be glassed in the Brunel system. Large portions of the planet have already been secured and glassed by the covenant, cities lie in ruins, millions of civilians lie dead. The covenant are now closing in on the capital Port Merion. Home to a civilian population of just over 5 million.

You.
Team Romeo: All Spartan III's Ex-members of Alpha company, you were pulled out and assigned to different units before Operation:PROMETHEUS begun meaning that you did not perish with the rest of your company on K7-49. Each and every one of you have already made names for yourselves whether it be serving as a lone wolf assassin for the UNSC or as the member of a previous squad that has been disbanded (or anything else that you can think of, it's your character.) You are some of the best that the UNSC has to offer and have been recently banded together to undergo special missions of the utmost importance. You are currently participating in a scorched earth operation on New Llanelli. I will only be allowing six onto team Romeo. The six will be chosen based on three factors. Firstly how well their character sheet is presented. Secondly since their will only be six I'm going to choose those based on their participation level in other RP's. That's not to say that people who are new to RPing aren't going to be allowed to be a Spartan it's jut those who have a reputation for sticking with RP's for their entirety have a better chance of starting as a Spartan. Thirdly the players luck. If I have ten good candidates for the positions I'll hold a draw.

Gamma Team:You are a member of the United Nations Space Command Defense Force (UNSCDF) and are a soldier fighting on New Llanelli. Your mission is a simple one; get as many civilians as possible off planet and hold off the covenant attack as you do so.

The Insurrectionists: Members of the New Llanelli Liberation Front (NLLF) you were a group of terrorists fighting against the UNSC for freedom but as your planet was invaded you have turned your attention to the Covenant. Fighting in vain to get them off planet. Although their was speak of rebel organisations fighting the UNSC even late into the Human-Covenant war (At the beginning of Reach you think it's a rebel group that's causing the disturbance. Not the covenant.) the NLLF are of my own creation and I wrote my own lore for them.

On Factions: If there isn't enough interest in the RP their may only be the UNSCDF OR the NLLF. Not both. I will go with whichever is more popular. The groups will be meeting up fairly early into the RP and your original objectives will change.

The weapons: Spartans pick one weapon from [STARTING WEAPONS 1] and one weapon from [STARTING WEAPONS 2] and then two grenades from [GRENADES]. UNSC Marines choose one weapon [STARTING WEAPONS 1] or one weapon from [STARTING WEAPON 2] and two grenades from [GRENDADE]. Insurrectionists choose one weapon from [STARTING WEAPON 1] and three grenades from [GRENADE]

On Weapons: The weapons you start with will most likely not be the weapons you finish with. Your at war, there will be no time to go back to the Rec room to chat and get more ammo and [&@%!] each others brains out* sorry 'bout that Musicman. I will leave ammunition caches and bodies around and you may find ammunition for your weapons but it most likely wont be for the power weapons ([STARRING WEAPONS 2]). So if your thinking of starting out with rockets don't expect it to last long.

I am as of this moment yet to work out a combat system.

*Saying that there will be pauses for character development and planning and stuff. I'm sure most here would find constant fighting as boring as I would.
