Okie, new Halo fanfiction idea,

So I love the reincarnation/transmigration stories and I just had a dream about it with Halo. Now I want to write a transmigration fanfiction with reader.

So, you wake up in this darkish room, and above you is a stone tablet that looks familiar but of course, you have no idea where you are and start panicking, rolling off the bed. There is a desk and the small room is dimly lit when you realize it's a dormitory room and end up bumping the desk. It turns out to be a console that lights up, the words 'Good morning Cadet [L/n]. Time is 0428 Date 2523 August 10th in Circinius IV system. Several Notifications pending.' the words are kinda just floating until you touch them and they swipe to a different screen that you realize it's like a hologram. It takes some digging before you find the words Corbulo Academy of Military Science and pieces start falling into place when 0500 hits an beeping alarm goes off and a voice saying as the door opens, "Good morning Cadets, it is now 0500, proceed to your teams morning run and report to the mess hall at 0700." and you see other people sleepy talking as they pass by before a girl peaks her head into your room.

"Wow, [Y/n], you're actually up on time," She looks over her shoulder." "Orenski, the world is ending, [L/n] is awake." Then snickering is heard before she looks back at you with a raised brow and laughs, "You look concerned, maybe you did just wake up, come on, our squad leader isn't going to wait on us." Then disappears and you have to navigate this new world and figure out how to survive, plus live with the prospect if you survive the covenant attack, you get to meet the Master Chief.

There is alot more but this might be my next project.

Still unlocking things for him and flip flopping between giving him the EVA helmet or the CQB but this is my boy, who himself is still a bit of a WIP story wise BUT, Spartan HDG1 codename: "Murphy", a Spartan who seems to be cursed with bad luck (which from some perspectives may be seen as Good Luck with how despite everything things seem to work out for him in the end) but still is a bit of a dork despite it all. His personal AI is a FRET, who's anxiety is not aided by the walking catastrophe that is Murphy, but they still are good friends with each other and make a pretty good team.

MIC Squaddies Profile: Samuel Wickie

Nickname(s): Sam, Wicks

Race/Ethnicity/Nationality: Human, Surdan

Gender/Age: Male, 22 (on first meeting)

Place of Birth: Forlis, a small town on the shores of Tüdosten Lake, northwest of Petrøvya

Height: 6’5”

Body Type: Tall and muscular

Eyes: Light green

Hair: Sandy blond

Specialty: Navigation, terrain reading, strength 

Samuel Wickie, more commonly known among his friends and the squad as Sam or Wicks, is a young man from the Surdan lakeside town of Forlis. Towering over his teammates and cutting an imposing, muscular figure for such a height, most outside his social circle give him a wide berth. Sam is, however, one of the softest of the Special Tactics and Recon Wolfcats, clinging to his youthful outlook and always first to smile.

Sam was chosen for the Wolfcats for his uncanny navigation abilities, as well as his physical strength. Growing up on the shores of Tüdosten Lake, Sam spent his childhood illegally crossing over into Alagaësia to trade with other settlements across the lake. Whenever a route would be pinned down by Broddring soldiers, Sam would be the first to find a new one, over land or through the water. Maps were dangerous, as they could be easily seized by the patrolling soldiers, so Sam learned to read and memorize terrain.

His routes required him to carry whatever he wanted to barter with, and he never turned down requests from the villagers on either side of the border. Sam never viewed the people of Alagaësia as an enemy, only the soldiers, and preferred to help his fellow man rather than fight. As Galbatorix began cracking down on Surda’s encroaching border, however, Sam found himself in the position of being hunted by emboldened Broddring patrols. To save his family and in hopes of getting official Varden and Surdan support for Forlis, Sam joined the Varden as a recruit and has been with the Wolfcats ever since.

Sam is close with Caleb, the two young men thoroughly enjoying each other’s complimenting lighthearted personalities. Sam does his best to keep Caleb as young as possible, feeling responsible for him like an older brother, and won’t hesitate to put his foot down regarding Caleb’s safety. His feelings are understandable when looking to his family’s past: at only 14, Sam’s younger brother Malcom drowned while evading a Broddring patrol on the lake. Against his brother’s orders, Malcom had been attempting to take over his brother’s duties while Sam was ill, and had never crossed the lake alone before. Sam, though quick to smile and of sunny disposition, never quite forgave himself for the loss.

Like most people of Forlis, Sam wears a beaded braid in his hair, with each bead representing a feat of strength, cunning, agility, or bravery. Sam has four beads, two for feats of strength he performed while helping villagers, one for cunning after his years of dodging Broddring patrols, and one for his bravery for joining the Varden.

Gears of War 3. The whole family played this one religiously.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. My intro into tactical/tacticool shooters

Halo: Reach. Hours and hours poured into Forge and Firefight modes

Star Wars Battlefront 2. The OG Battlefront 2, not that pay-to-win loot box wannabe. Galactic Conquest was simple and very fun.

I find it hard to pick a fifth game since my whole family was a bunch of gamers and I could pick any 4 player coop Xbox game from the mid-2000s that would have been something we easily put 200 hours into.

If I had to pick one that wasn't that, it would be RWBY Grimm Eclipse. 400 hours easy between grinding for all the unlockables, doing speed runs with friends, and hunting for those cursed Easter eggs (one of which I was the original discoverer of).

If I had to choose any other game, it would be Fallout New Vegas for being the first PC game I picked up and completed.

I think Soap as a gamer inevitably falls in love with every single girl tutorial/sidekick character. He played Zelda games as a kid and that shit awakened him. Navi, Tatl, Midna…. And you know he had a crush on Cortana in halo. And Isabelle in animal crossing. Ashley in resident evil. He’s eating it up. Starts crying if they have to say goodbye at the end of the game. When there’s a chapter of the game where they get captured or contact is cut, man is the most stressed he’s ever been in his life.

And then his team gets assigned a recon/navigation assistant. He can hear the voice of a pretty girl that’s smarter than him in his earpiece all the time now. And he’s gonna be insufferable about it. Pretends to be a little lost just to hear you explain the layout of the area to him. He loves it soooo much.

OC drop! Come pick him up!

This is Halo! He is a commando on a small squad (5 total because lore reasons). Halo takes on the sniper/recon role (being intel based) . He’s a little goof ball but never mistake him being bad at his work.
