They got a ship's dog?

the rocinante desperately needs a ship cat... incredibly lame there are no kitty cats in space

Spartan Sagas 3: Vannak-134

(Vannak as he appears in the Halo TV show)

Name: Vannak-134

Gender: Male

Born: 2511

Died: N/A

Personality: Unknown in canon since he has never had actual lines in canon besides the few tactical voice lines on the Arcadia mission.

Appearances: Vannak's only canon appearance is during Halo Wars 1, though he is not mentioned by name (he is however usable as a character). Vannak also appears in the non-canon halo TV show, where he is a prominent character.

(Unfortunately I don't have the Vannak-134 helmet in halo infinite, so this is my closest approximation)

Biography: Vannak was born around 2511, and as with all Spartan II candidates was kidnapped by ONI and brought to Reach, where he was trained and educated. He was augmented by Catherine Halsey, armoured at the Damascus Testing Facility on Chi Ceti IV and assigned to August-099’s Omega Team - a quick reaction force with which he saw combat during the early Human-Covenant war. One such engagement was Arcadia, where he, Omega and Red Team fought with the crew of the Spirit of Fire to protect civilians as they evacuated. Vannak is still alive in canon, though his current whereabouts are unknown. After operations on Hellas he, Riz-028 and Kai-125 were formally reassigned from Omega Team to Silver Team.

Spartan Sagas 2: Daisy-023

Name: Daisy-023

Gender: Female

Born: 2511

Died: Unknown date, sometimes between 2526 and 2551

Personality: Daisy is portrayed with a fiery temper, violent tendencies and a stubborn streak, as well as a slight disregard for the chain of command in tense situations.

Appearances: Daisy has appeared explicitly in two pieces of media - the Halo: Legends short ‘Homecoming’ and Halo: Silent Storm.

Biography: Daisy was born around 2511, and was selected as a candidate for the Spartan II program, an honour that saw her abducted in 2517 at six years old. She underwent the same training and augmentation as the other Spartans, but shortly after her augmentations, she and a group of other trainees held their trainers at gunpoint and escaped from the facility, at which point she travelled to Sargasso, her homeworld. Here she met the flash clone who'd been sent to replace her and almost killed her, with her conscience intervening before she could. Early in the war she participated in a boarding action over Netherop aboard the Covenant frigate ‘Radiant Arrow’, where an insurrectionist mole tried to get the Spartans killed, then joined Operation: SILENT STORM as a member of Joshua-029’s Gold Team, where she participated in battles against the Covenant at Seoba (where she and the other Spartans destroyed the downed ‘Starry Night’, the lead prowler of the Task Force, to prevent it from falling into enemy hands, and assisted an injured Naomi-010), Etalan (where she and the other members of Gold Team flew S-14 ‘Baselard’ fighters into the heart of a Covenant fleet and went EVA with nuclear ordnance to destroy a series of Covenant freighters) and Naraka (or Zhoist, by it's Covenant name). She was killed at an unknown date by a series of needler rounds during an ill-fated evacuation that also claimed the life of former Spartan candidate Ralph-103.

Omg he looks so sad lol

I was learning how to animate stuff for Halo CE, so I made this little test animation. It was supposed to be just Chief giving the camera a thumbs up, until I realized his model didn't have fingers.

SPILL OIL!

Can't believe you put 2 last, and more importantly 3 above it(!!!!???).

Actually crimes have been committed

ok, quick TLDR for my thoughts on most of the halo main line games. i am also going to rank them by number

halo reach: really good! most levels are good, and have good variety. multiplayer is super fun! but thats every halo. just assume that the multiplayer is fun in these games. this one has the most to do in all of them. fire fight, multiplayer, forge, customization is the best. #1 (for nastalgia mostly)

halo CE: this game is really good! till you get half way then its alright. multiplayer is good fun, its classic! #2

halo 2: stories really good! but the game loves to just, shove enemies at you some times. i dont really play multiplayer in this one. #6

halo 3: if you haven't played halo 2, the story makes no since. a lot of the things that happen in the first half of the game just, happen. kind of an excuse for you do something different. #5

halo 3 ODST: atmosphere in this game is off the charts, moody. but ultimately, your just a spartan without shields. it doesn't feel too different to halo 3 proper. this was where fire fight was introduced. which is super fun. #4

halo 4: this game, isn't terrible. multiplayer is fun as fuck! but, the story sucks. the characters are great! this game has a lot of the issues as halo 2, where the game just kind of shoves enemies at you. and some of them one shot you, and are bullet sponges. #7 (just because you are on the bottom of my list doesn't mean I dont love you! you just have issues...)

halo infinite: they fucking learned from their mistakes, but got greedy with the battle pass. they took the foundations of the other halo games and built up on it. grapple, drop wall, target locator, and booster dash (forgot what they are called) are all cool. and give you options from when someone has a power weapon. and I like it. #3

some of these are super close, though reach is still my favorite, its like if reach was like a 0.5 second ahead if it was a race. then the rest are like 0.1-0.3 seconds away from each other. they are all good video games. and any of them are worth your time.

Whilst the didact book is very good, it does not have Ace of Spades crew. They in plot purgatory lol

me 20 pages from reaching the end of Point of Life: man we’re really running out of time to finish the remaining plot threads with the crew, and it’s been 100 pages since we’ve even seen Niko and we don’t even know what his secret is

me midway through the final chapter: uh oh. oh no. oh fuck-

me after the epilogue: goddamit Halo

do you guys think the halo community on tumblr could do some sort of event (like a gift exchange or "Do This In Your Style") or do you guys think we are too focused on personal projects/not large enough to really have it be fun?

please be honest and reblog so that this reaches lots of people! also if you have any ideas put them in a reblog

Fuck it bring Omega Team and Silver Team in on this bitch and we can reunite the Arcadia gang with Red + Omega + Silver + SoF

I just remembered that Ace of Spades never even picked their search for Spirit of Fire back up. Like they went, “okay since the leads are kinda dead rn we’ll do Spark’s thing for now” and well. Kinda hard to go back to the search when Cortana’s disrupted everything and is being galactic dictator over space travel and everyone doesn’t even know where everyone else is.

But I just realized that SoF is also kinda like. We haven’t heard about them in a long time either. And now the Ferrets are with them, who we also are waiting on news from them.

What I’m getting at here is that Halo could do smth amazing for a future book or even Halo Wars 3 and it would kill like 3 stones in the “established characters getting abandoned with unresolved plot threads and stuff” category.
