Ok before I start this I would like to apologize to everyone for the number of consecutive blog posts I make here, I think I do more work on these than my few articles. By chance, and segway, I actually wanted to ask for help so that I can rectify that issue.
Russell 041, Collabs and such and such[]
Ok best start with Russell. I want to start by saying sorry for changing his name about 3 or 4 times, there are reasons (which I could blurt at you personally if you wish) but i'll just say that i'm keeping it at Russell. Anyway I have run into a snag while writing for him, I've got no one to interact with him. The one, very annoying thing, about writing for the II's (for me) is that I find it hard to be creative with them initially, by that I mean I don't like making more than one because
- A. I feel......greedy or something like that. There are only about 33 known ones to work with
- B. Because the covenant war plan was to enter system, burn world and repeat, it is hard to deploy them ground engagement style, where spartans exel. And there are only so many Forunner relics on human worlds before people start getting suspicious.
I know the easy way to do it would be to either have him as one of ONI's (now very numerous) private assassins or have him go MIA for a whole war. The problem I have with the former is that it is a very commonly used idea and I'm not that great a fan of it. And the issue with the latter is that getting lost for a Whole 2 Decade Long War makes for very poor writing in terms of having to be running all the time and having little character interaction. For a short time yes not a whole book.
So I guess what I am asking is, does anyone want to......do I ask for help or collab......both I suppose. Good enough, i'm asking for help or collab options. I really what to make this character work and I don't want to be one of those users that comes and goes really quickly. I want to stick around, become a part of this community and actually for once in my life finish something I set out to make.
(If you care it'd be worth five minutes of you life's essence to check out my Sandbox, got most of my ideas there......O spoilers if you care about something that will not be done for sometime)
RP's for sale[]
Next I move into my shop, open the window, wish I had invested in an online company and shout the the Halo Fanon community that I am giving away two RP ideas because I like them but under my leadership they will go no where. Both are stored in the sandbox but I guess I'm briefly outline them here.
First off is an RP that came to me while playing on Halo 4's Exile. Nicknamed 'Down But Not Out', the basic premise is that a covenant and human ship (Or more) both damage each other in battle and crash lands on the planet below. The following battle is a pitched engagement as each side tries to keep the other one back while hoping to their receptive gods that they can get a call out to their kind first and be saved. I'd be more than happy to see this idea be taken because I slightly proud of myself for thinking it up.
Secondly we have 'Another Day at the Office', a (theoretically) never ending RP set aboard the UNSC Infinity (or an equivalent ship) and follows the adventures of the various crew members as the Infinity/Equivalent goes on it's many travels through space. Despite having a genesis in Spartan Ops it has suddenly occurred to me that this smells heavily of Star Trek in nature. Need I say more? Halo Trek Into Darkness? Halo, The Final Frontier? The list goes on.
Well there are my wears, both free of charge for whom ever wants them.
It was a spartan, riding a Pale Kestrl....[]
So for my closing notes just a few things. First off Hammer Fall, I don't want to ask and sound like an a**h*** but what is going on with that. Have I missed it? is it on hold?
Also how does one create one of those custom signatures, you know with the 'speech bubble' and such.
Anyway, hopefully bumping this blog upwards will have someone notice, I really don't know where else to go to ask for help here and I haven't figured out the IRC chat yet.
I'll see you out there.
