Happy birthday to Michael "Mickey" Crespo!

Today is his -506th birthday!

Mickey was born on Luna to insurrectionist parents who died during an attack on a government building. He was placed in foster care, and enlisted in the UNSC at age eighteen, as military conscription was a requirement to leave foster. After his mandatory service, he chose to remain in the military, and eventually joined the ODSTs.

Mickey was part of the ODST squad Alpha-Nine during the Covenant attack on Earth. The squad was given orders to destroy the Covenant carrier Solemn Penance, until their orders were suddenly changed by Captain Veronica Dare. After getting separated in New Mombasa, Alpha-Nine would eventually regroup and assist Dare with her real mission: to secure a Huragok--an organic Forerunner construct with a natural drive to repair and an invaluable wealth of knowledge about both Covenant and Forerunner technology. They would succeed in capturing the Huragok, surrendering it to ONI.

After the end of the war, Alpha-Nine went right back into deployment against the Insurrection. Mickey resented fighting against humans immediately following an extinction war. After a standoff with an insurrectionist leader led to the death of the Rookie, Mickey's disillusionment with the war and the UNSC became exacerbated.

Alpha-Nine was offered admission into the SPARTAN program, which the remaining members eventually accepted. During his training, Mickey met Rudolf Schein, a fellow trainee and member of the United Rebel Front. Schein began to convince Mickey to join, but then died in a skirmish after he was found to have murderered another trainee who refused to join the URF.

Mickey met Schein's father at his funeral, and finally decided to quietly defect from the UEG. Alpha-Nine was sent to combat the rebels yet again, at which point, Mickey revealed his allegiance. He and Buck fought, with Buck knocking him unconscious and handing him in to Jun-A266. Mickey received a life sentence and was imprisoned on a Spartan training facility. These events led to the dissolution of Alpha-Nine.

When the Created conflict began, ONI scrambled to find a way to combat Cortana's Guardians, as the massive contructs were capable of oppressing entire planets without any way to fight them. Captain Veronica Dare began calling back the members of Alpha-Nine, including asking Buck and Romeo to free Mickey. Though Buck heavily protested, Dare needed someone with the URF's trust. She discovered a colony that possessed cloaking technology that the Guardians could not detect, but the colony was occupied by the URF. Dare felt that the only way to convince the colony to share with the UEG would be to bring one of their members.

Buck eventually relented, and Alpha-Nine, minus the Rookie, reassembled. Buck and Mickey spent much of this time arguing, with Buck believing Mickey to be a terrorist and traitor. They were eventually able to convince the mayor of Cassidy III to permit ONI to study the cloaking technology, but the colony was then attacked by a Guardian. Mickey saved Buck's life during the evacuation, and the iciness between them began to thaw.

Once back on Infinity, Buck convinced Captain Lasky and Commander Palmer to let Mickey remain free while the Created continued to be a threat. Mickey attended Buck's wedding, and Alpha-Nine was reformed as a Spartan fireteam. However, his fate after the hostilities cease (if they ever cease, it is Halo) is uncertain.

In canon (~2560), he is turning 30!

Can you make a Yandere Mickey concept from Halo?

Sure! I watched two lore videos and the ODST cutscenes to remind me of his character. Sorry for the long wait! This draft was problematic when saving so I just hope things save RIGHT.

Edit: Damn I popped OFF on this one-

Yandere Mickey/Michael Crespo Concept

(Contains some info from Halo 3: ODST, Halo: New Blood, Halo: Bad Blood. I think those last two are the right books?)

Pairing: Romantic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Manipulation, Overprotective behavior, Jealousy, Paranoia, Angst, Death, Mental break, Kidnapping, Delusional behavior, Consensual to forced relationship.

Mickey has an interesting career profile when you really begin to dig into the books.

He was an ODST, then a Spartan, then a traitor, then with his old team yet again.

It would be interesting to see how he responds to a darling through all that.

So let's start with Halo 3 ODST, where we first meet Alpha Nine.

You had spoken with Mickey enough to be on friendly terms.

You had both undergone ODST training and got along with each other.

If you want to make it more tragic, maybe you replace The Rookie.

You had even chatted amicably before being dropped down to New Mombasa.

It all starts with friendship and being teammates.

You were a bit more experienced than him but not by much.

Mickey is described to be a creative daredevil and risk-taker.

He's skilled in explosives and piloting ships.

When it came to you he got along with you along with the rest of Alpha-Nine.

Mickey didn't realize how much he cared about you until after New Mombasa.

You all got separated the moment the Covenant Carrier entered slip space.

This leaves you all to try and find each other and survive on the ground.

Now, as I said before, you can either replace The Rookie or work alongside him.

Mickey is caught up in the battling, not thinking too much about you until he finds Dutch.

When Dutch brings you up along with the rest of the team, Mickey feels a sudden rush of unease.

You two were close... not the closest but enough to the point of Mickey worrying.

Despite such worries, he works alongside Dutch to find the rest of the team.

Meanwhile you either wake up late or end up finding the rest of the team.

Eventually you'll end up reuniting with Mickey and the rest one way or another.

The upsetting part is not much is given on Mickey's personality, but I assume he's easily influenced due to what we see later on.

When he sees you again, he's surprised by how excited he gets.

To the point he ends up freezing, leading to either Buck or Dutch to tease him.

Mickey and you just seem to be happy that the whole team managed to get out of the battle okay.

Romeo was the most injured, but can recover.

Mickey was in charge of piloting the stolen Phantom that picked you all up, yet would not stop talking to you.

You picked up on his worry and even felt flattered.

You admit you were worried about him too, which makes Mickey pause again with a quickly reddening face.

Thankfully his visor was on....

You two continue to work beside one another after this.

Even when tragedy strikes.

Mickey's obsession develops more and more after New Mombasa.

He gets to know you more, maybe even asks you on a date to test things out... He makes his feelings known.

By this point Mickey has known you for two years.

He's trained with you, fought beside you, and even fell for you since New Mombasa.

When the Rebellion on Draco III begins, one of two people can die.

The Rookie, which would be the option closer to Canon.

Or you, the option that would break Mickey but cut his obsession short... sorta.

The second option would be the default if you chose to replace The Rookie.

Seeing his obsession die would break Mickey.

He's in denial, panicking, and can't believe it.

Like in canon he blames himself for not saving you and becomes disillusioned with the UNSC.

He never wanted to fight humans.

Yet here he is... killing rebels and mourning you at your new grave on Draco III.

No matter how much the others try to comfort him, he ignores it.

Which would lead him to become a more deranged traitor later down the line.

But that's where that story ends, the longer option is The Rookie dying like usual.

This gives him all the same feelings as before, except now he still has you.

Although he begins to fear how easy it would be to lose you.

One wrong tactical mistake... and you could die.

He still hates the UNSC but also blames himself for The Rookie's death.

After this comes the events of the SPARTAN-IV program.

You, Buck, Romeo, and Mickey were sent off to get the necessary augmentations to become better soldiers.

Mickey debated on retiring with you to settle down.

By this point you've had quite a few dates and Mickey was thinking of having a family with you and leaving the UNSC.

However, you encouraged him to take the opportunity with you...

Mickey couldn't just leave you alone.

You both become Spartans but Mickey only becomes more disillusioned.

Maybe around this time you end up calling off the relationship.

You're too busy with Spartan training to really commit to Mickey, so with a reluctant look... you tell him you're over.

You may have even left because you felt uneasy about his recent politics.

You try to tell him you still love him, but currently things just won't work out.

Which may only hurt his mental state more.

After this I plan to defect more from canon to make this yandere.

Perhaps there were multiple times Mickey tried to convince you he wanted the best for you.

The break up is messy, Mickey clinging to you in private as he rambles to you.

He tells you the UNSC doesn't care what happens to you, he tells you he just wanted a family with you, he tells you he doesn't want to let you go.

Despite all this, you still push yourself off of him.

While you continue to dedicate yourself to the UNSC, Mickey secretly joins the URF.

Causing a larger rift between you.

I like to imagine on a later mission against the URF, maybe Mickey betrays you away from the rest.

His feelings for you never changed, in fact, they only got stronger.

He can't accept the fact you're more obedient to the UNSC than to him.

So, on a mission Mickey kidnaps you with help from some URF soldiers.

If you have a few soldiers under you, they're either imprisoned or killed.

After all... Mickey just wants to capture you, not anyone else right now.

You curse at him, call him a filthy traitor.

Mickey only gives a saddened smile, holding you down enough to put restraints on you.

This is all just a lover's quarrel.

He tells you he still loves you, always will, and this way... you can stay together.

You're confused with what he means until you're transported to a cell.

You're in URF territory and only glare when Mickey checks in on you.

Mickey soon slips into the cell once you're restrained and embraces you.

He whispers how if you join the URF, you two can be happy.

They already plan to set him up with a private home and can even take you in as his spouse.

Mickey isn't blind to your clear distaste towards him.

He hopes soon you'll forgive him and love him again.

You may view him as a monster and traitor now...

But that won't change the pure adoration he's always felt for you.

"We'll be together just like before... please, baby, you know I need you! I can't live without you... I just want you to never leave me again!"

CURSE YOUR SUDDEN BUT INEVITABLE BETRAYAL!

Another silly idea of Mickey being in his Firefly self again! Buck seems super amused…

[superintendent-b]

The Rookie rarely speaks so if he starts talking, you know it's gonna be something interesting

Tactical Debrief part 1: Operation COALPEPPER

•OBJECTIVE: Recover Huragok ‘Quick to Adjust’ and his handler Sadie Endesha

•YEAR: 2555

•Location: Talitsa, Sverdlovsk system

•Outcome: Success

EVENTS: Spartan IV team ‘Alpha Nine’ deployed to Talitsa. Made their way on foot to an insurrectionist stronghold believed to be holding Endesha and Quick to Adjust. Whilst surveying the camp, Spartan Crespo went Stolen Gauntlet and betrayed Spartans Buck and Agu, holding them at gunpoint whilst insurrectionists surrounded them. They began to march down towards the camp, when Spartan Buck provoked Spartan Crespo into engaging in a brawl that successfully distracted the insurrectionists long enough to allow Spartan Agu to escape. He proceeded to engage the hostiles with rocks, killing several. Spartan Buck incapacitated Crespo and the insurrectionist leader. The pair then made their way to the compound, recovered the targets and returned them and Spartan Crespo to UNSC custody.

Palmer's Helljumper Years

Mickey: Ok, explosives are planted. Now throw the Toggle Switch.

Palmer: (looks at switch and button) Uh...toggle switch... affirmative! (Pushes Button, 3 minutes count down)

A family can be a tired dad, his ex, four chaotic sons and their stinky balloon pet

was suggested I draw alpha nine because their models from ODST are not the most glamorous reference for how they look so I did a family-photo-esque thing!

the sad photo belongs to buck and is me being bitter about how they broke up alpha nine and made me mad >:/
