ΩUTSIDERS
TEST DRIVE MEME

Welcome to the outsiders test drive meme! You can use this post to tag with characters you're interested in bringing to the game or who you'd like to try out in the setting.


Please set all threads in one of three areas: the landing zone, where your character get off the shuttle upon arrival; the markets, where your character might run into any of the station's alien population; or in the residential district they'll be staying in.

φ Please give the name and canon of your character in the subject line! OCs and AUs are welcome.
φ You may use threads from this post as a log sample, so long as it has at least 5 of your comments in action tags or prose.
φ You can keep CR from this meme if both players agree to it OOCly, and so long as you keep interactions to these starting areas.
φ Apps open on 1/27; the game opens 2/2.
φ You can find more information on our setting here, and our navigation is here!

Either way, it was the right choice.

[When he sees her, he recognizes her as a SPARTAN immediately, but two things quickly leap out to him. She's too small to be a SPARTAN-II...does that make her one of the IVs from Infinity? But her armor looks like Mark V, which is outdated even by his cryo-sleep affected standards.

Whoever she is, though, she's UNSC. Good enough for him.]

Spartan. How long have you been here?

oh good I'm just way too excited to see Chief

[lonewolfed]

[Missed a number there.]

[There was a reason Six had focused so hard on what she was doing. To keep herself from asking too many questions that had no answers. There was no mistake, there was no possible way she could have gotten off of Reach. She searched her own memories again and again, and found nothing. No inbetween of there and this station.]

[But she was a soldier, and taking notice of the superior in front of her, she immediately stood to attention.]

Not even an hour. [Her response was short, to the point. A SPARTAN-II, Six could only assume as much. He had a similar build to Jorge-]

[Shaking the thought away. But his armor was different, unlike any she had seen. She struck a salute.]

SPARTAN-B312, Noble Six. Sir.

Re: oh good I'm just way too excited to see Chief

[thereclaimer]

[Neither the number or the team, 'Noble', ring a bell for the Chief. He files them away and notes to figure out the details later.]

SPARTAN-117. At ease. [He gives her a small nod.] You see any other UNSC personnel since you've arrived?

[lonewolfed]

[117? But that would mean he's-]

[Six eases on the formalities a little, as was commanded.]

No one. I was alone when I came to. [A pause.] No Covenant either. [At least, none she could identify.]

[thereclaimer]

['Came to?']

What was your status prior to arrival?

[lonewolfed]

I was on Reach. [She shouldn't need to explain what she was doing. Or maybe she does.] Next thing I knew, I woke up here.

[thereclaimer]

[Reach? That gets his attention immediately. If she was on Reach...]

....you're not a SPARTAN-IV. [That goes without saying. Well, if she's not a II and she's not a IV, that just leaves...] ...you're one of Mendez's. That he trained after us.

[lonewolfed]

[A nod.]

Beta Company. [He has it right now, but that just leaves more questions for her.] SPARTAN-IV, sir?

[thereclaimer]

[He doesn't know all the details yet himself - didn't exactly have time to ask Lasky or Palmer for a rundown, but he knows the gist of it, anyway.]

The next generation of SPARTANs. Made after the war ended with volunteers from the UNSC. [After explaining, the Chief pauses for a beat. Maybe part of that was worth reiterating.]

...the war ended a few months after Reach.
