This thread died, so letys retstart!
It is the year 2540, the day is May 26th, military calendar. The planet is Brivel's Folly, on the edge of human controlled space, and it is in distress.
Brivel's Folly was populated in late 2300s, though it had been previously discovered by a navigator named Thomas Brivel, who crash-landed on the planet and was never heard from again. It was noted for its atmosphere, which was already friendly to human life, and the immense archaeological sites across the planet. Serving as a military outpost and a scientific installation, Brivel's Folly was one of the more important outward stations, if a backwater compared to say, Reach.
What the UNSC didn't know was the artifacts were Forerunner in origin. Despite their best attempts, they could not decipher the writing or the meaning on these objects. Most of the scientific personnel were removed after the war with the Covenant began, and the planet has been quite busy ever since.
The Covenant discovered the planet soon after the humans did, and also noted the Forerunner artifacts, but stayed their ferocity until the order was given. The fleet tasked with this objective, the Fleet of Unconquerable Grace, was headed by an Elite by the name of Kular 'Cyclamee, who has personally killed over 300 humans.
The planet has been under tight lock for a few months now. Every year on Brivel's Folly, there is a strange meteor storm around the time of May. The zenith of this storm is around the end of the month, and it disrupts communication and slipspace travel. Before the storm, however, the defense forces noticed strange slipspace anamolies that were interpreted as Covenant signatures.
In response, two Spartans were sent by the UNSC and as tensions rise, and the meteor shower ends, only time will tell how this conflict will end. Whether it is a victory for the Covenant Empire or the United Nations Space Command is up to you....
The way this RP is conducted will be different from the usual. Instead of having a pre-set winner and loser, the experience will be dynamic. The humans start out with 2 out of 9 regions, and the Covenant start out invading one. The RP can end in the first battle alone. I will judge which side did the best RPing by the end of the fight, and decide the winner. Each player will have a certain amount of available posts and god-modding is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Btw, here be the map: http://up.kupatrix.org/f/5/halo-rp-map.jpg (http://up.kupatrix.org/f/5/halo-rp-map.jpg)
As far as what players can be, you're free to choose as long as it's reasonable. For example, no Grunts who happen to have a body count larger than my daily calorie intake (which is a few thousand... on a light day). I'd like to see some variety in the characters as well, and you are free to be whatever Covenant race you want... as long as it's available in Halo: Combat Evolved. If you have any questions, feel free to PM either of the GMs.
