What is your character’s personality?: Nick is by no means quiet as he speaks his mind often. Since he lacks social skills due to his separation from others he normally cracks jokes to ease tension between him and those he doesn't know well..... Or even his friends for that matter. Most obstacles to him are challenges waiting to be met and always gives him a smile when he is pushed hard. Although he volunteered to become a Spartan he does not view himself as a tool to some day simply roll over and die. His cause to live is great although his cause to dish out as much damage to the Covenant, with a smile, as possible is greater still. All and all he is very smart, tactical, actually has a, at times, heart, and above all .....is crazy. This is a mental hindrance that formed under stress. He cannot get angry and finds amusement in literally anything. From happy puppies to children dead in the street. The thing that most people find revolting about him is how open he is about it.

What is your character's history?:

  • Nick was born during the five years it took to recapture Harvest by UNSC efforts. Although during the fighting both his parents lost their lives Nick was spared and evacuated off world. Growing up as a refugee he never quite found himself until the Spartan program asked him to join at age ten. How could he refuse after the Covenant took so much from him and the UNSC gave him a way to fight back? Without a home, family, and the loss of more friends from the Covenants advances it was an easy "yes".
  • Once he was initiated he stood out. More then just a shock troop like the UNSC wanted but a formidable opponent for any who faced him in the training halls. Nicks skill set lay in weapons themselves. Able to pick up an Assault weapon and use it expertly just as he could a position rifle. Quick witted and capable he was moved from the group and trained in other fields. Vehicle operation and advanced technologies. Soon however ONI needed a different sort of Elite warrior so he was scooped up into the HeadHunter initiative. Paired with his partner Desmond they went deep into enemy territory to do what they could against the Covenant.
  • In 2551 him and Desmond came onto a refueling station on a forest moon. The mission was to eliminate the Battleship that was there to restock and refuel however the OP went south. More Covenant were at the station then predicted and when they infiltrated the station they were discovered. Fighting their way to the gravity lift and into the ship was the only option now. Both of them were wounded and had no where to go until Desmond found the orbital insertion pods the Sangheili used like ODST's did to enter a planet from orbit. The idea was to set the nuke they hualed up there and use the pods to launch themselves away from the ship. As they set the payload and made their way to the lauch bay Nick was wounded to the point where he asked Desmond to leave him. What Nick did not no was Desmond was filled with biofoam already and was the walking dead. So instead of leaving Nick, Desmond placed him inside of a pod and defended it until it launched him to safety. Desmond died in the nuclear fire that followed destroying the ship aswell. The mission was a success.
  • After loosing Desmond, and recovering, Nick was sent to Earth to join the newly developed Division 6 under section III, ONI. Seth B-315, The commanding officer, a former Headhunter, and someone Nick knew. Spoke with him to assess the condition of Victoria B-154 when he arrived to Earth. his orders were to assist any UNSC forces in Australia while watching and operating with Victoria. The first meeting was not the greatest as a broken blond Headhunter wished her death. Though he was shown video messages sent from her personal terminal to a Headhunter Named Akumi A-216. It didn't take long to figure out the pair were in love. He couldn't have a heart broken Headhunter operate in a combat zone so through some rather extrema confrontations with Victoria. Not only did she almost kill him, kill herself even, but he actually got through to her in some manner to want to survive.
  • Their first mission together was a snatch and grab of the civilian A.I. running Sydney. Although the OP went south as their pelican took direct fire from covenant air forces. With nothing but jet packs the pair jumped from a high altitude to the city below hard. Injuries and a fire fight later they pulled together and regrouped with the survivors of the escort wing. However, command redirected them to an off site ONI building to retrieve a HVT. When they arrive it seemed hell was upon them as Covenant ground forces were quickly depleting the UNSC defenders. Fighting their way in was easy. Getting out was the hard part. In the end they both got the package to its destination though they would only be put back into the fire hours later. In dire need of support. The UNSC defense forces ordered the pair to defend civilian evacuation efforts. As Victoria disappeared to secure the civilians in a fall out shelter. Nick and the marine defense forces held the line against seemingly endless Covenant forces.
  • During the chaos Nick was forced into close combat with Elites and Brutes alike. With the endless numbers slowly chipping away eventually even he was being over run. Taking a plasma sword to his left eye severely damaging his helmet as Victoria began to flat line. With efforts clear and the marines falling back. Nick not only had to fight his way to her body but fight to drag it back. Suffering several spiker shots to the torso in his effort. Though he took out many he was done. Only pure adrenaline placed his body and Victoria's on the final evac pelican. Suffering from his wounds he fell unconscious in transit only to wake a day later in Cleveland. Apparently Victoria survived as well thanks to his actions.
  • Both were medically air lifted to Cleavland where the Spartans could receive priority one care. When the bird landed Nick fell unconscious and woke a day later after his first surgery to be informed he would loose his eye. Nick payed him a visit to unofficially debrief him. The reunion with Seth was well welcomed.
  • In the month that followed Nick integrated into Delta-6 operating within Lord Hood's fleet as the portal to the Arch opened. Him and the Midnight Blitz would venture to the far reaches of the galaxy to this ancient Forerunner strong hold. Once there he and other operatives took to the surface during the fighting to gain information and technology. Fighting the Brute Lead Covenant as they did so only until the time of the Flood entering the portal. Once High Charity crashed on the Arch and the discovery of a new;y made Halo array was made clear. Him and Delta-6 evacuated through the portal back to Earth.
  • After the wars end. Nick was tasked with quelling insurrectionists until coming back into dock in March to take in new recruits.

As it stands, this application can't be reviewed because it doesn't conform to the character application template that is found here. Once you've edited the application to conform with the template, we can review it.

Everything is there. Its out of order maybe. If that is too much then say "no" to it and I won't rp.
I do not have time to run around the imaginary burning bush, Koas.

Please avoid being belligerent, staff are here to help. While you can create or use whatever biographical structure you like with F&R (Free & Revocable) profiles, character applications require the use of the template. It creates a certain consistency that is supposed to make for good organization, it's not about making things difficult but getting across the nitty gritty details relevant to the application's approval or denial across. Yes you've got all the right information, you can literally copy and paste the relevant info, into the template. And then we can review the app. If you have trouble getting access to a computer, I can even do it for you if you like.

template
 

What is the name of your character? : Title, name, surname, anything you want to involve in his official place in the world being attributed to a name!

What is your characters age? : Try to research just to ensure your age is realistic. You don't have to be specific, feel free to round it to the nearest relevant number.

Which race is your character? : If you're applying for a restricted race, make sure this is it. Otherwise, leave it your normal race

What is your character's class? : If you're applying for a restricted role, make sure these are it. Otherwise, you may put in a free/revokable class, rank or title.
What is your character's rank? : Only if applicable. This tends to be filled in for authoritative ranks.
What is your character's title? : Only if applicable. This tends to revolve around prestigious titles.

What is your character’s description?: Provide us with a short description of your character’s physical appearance with the points provided.

Build (Height, Weight, Physique, etc.):
Body Color:
Eye Color:
Hair Color:
Gender:
Any Uncommon or Specific Features?:

What is your character’s personality?: Describe to us, in 2-3 paragraphs (4-5 sentences per) or less, what your character’s demeanor and personality is like. This is to ensure that it matches in with what your applied race/class is, and therefore is appropriate.

What is your character's history? : Try and avoid cliché things like orphan, or a sole survivor. If you're a normal folk you can connect much better to him and make everything more fun. Please provide your character’s history in a series of bullet points marking the most significant points in your character’s life that leads up to where they are now. Any other information between the important points must be put into spoiler, and is regarded as optional lore upon your character.

What is your character's affiliation?: This is to determine whether or not your affiliation is appropriate for your race/class. If their affiliation is different from what would be expected, please provide a short reasoning as to why they are affiliated to who or what they are.

What do you see as your character's future? : If you're applying here with no progression because you're going to be trained, then here's your area to discuss your future. It's nice to be insightful, but you can also be adaptive and not have anything set in stone if that's your style

Explain the background and role of your applied race/class? : The reason for the restricted requirement on your potential race/class is because of potential misuse. If you know what you're doing, you will score well here and succeed

What would you consider to be your character’s shortcomings?: This can be anything from your character’s weakness to something they’re not very good at. Being bad at social interaction, having a stark phobia of spiders, and suffering from PTSD are all valid examples, though you are encouraged to think of others. Attempt to avoid anything cliché, however.

What would you consider to be your character’s strengths?: These are things your character was made to do, or is just plain good at. They could be exceptionally good at fighting, or are good with math. Perhaps there’s something else your character can do that is hallmark for them?

How many "NPCs" would your character lead and how? : This question is not relevant to most classes or races, in which you can put a zero and move on. However, military ranks, nobility or certain race classifications may end up being the leader of a selection of non player characters. Staff do not need any justification for less than five, but beyond that you need to justify how you would have access to an "army" of such a size. How your character calls upon them and maintains their needs are both important questions you should consider answering here.

What sources have you used for your application? : This is to both help staff evaluate your character and to show that you have done your research on the race/class that you’re applying for with information you have used that comes from a viable source. If the information you used to apply for this character comes from another person, please ask them to provide sources to you for where they themselves gain their information.

Do you agree to follow Resurgence's rules when playing your character? : A formality. This means playing your character appropriately and responsibly, and not godmodding, metagaming, or powergaming.

You have a population of 3. You all know each other and me. Do not add me on Facebook then treat me like a faceless digit.

Wanna act like the S-Shop, DMV, or admin bar. Fine.

As I said; I do not have time for rejected app after app like I'm some poor grunt the Pogs wanna pick on. I just won't rp on this site.

It's not picking on you it's just, if we just already break our rules then what's the point of ever following them to begin with. I mean I miss you but threatening to just leave isn't exactly friendly either. You're not just some random face and neither were any of us but we still had to go through a few times with our chars. If you feel so passionate about not adjusting to a new template that's okay I guess but is that really where you draw the line? First bit of drama would be worse than just a rule, not trying to be down putting or whatever it's just like, is a new template all that bad? I mean yeah it's all there but it might be confusing for other people who want to look for an example or just read yours. I don't know I just don't think this should be something we should quit or fight over.

I'm not fighting Dom. I am giving you the outcome of Cataloging me like Koas loves to do. App after app, new template after template, years of anal administrative BS that was never really needed from the start. Ghost has commented on it in the past and so have I.

AFTER 4 (Yes FOUR) sites with a new template, for each one, I won't waste my time on meaningless details no more.
I was an Admin and helped Koas every step with little mouth on the last site. One of my biggest peevs, though, was treating your 'friends' like what I said. Faceless digits. (really anyone for that matter)

"We the staff" Common really? I know people's OOC names for god sake and you wanna seemingly talk down to me?

"Please avoid being belligerent, staff are here to help." How about you help then by acting like a person and not a robot. I feel like customer support just slaped me with the negative nacy fish with every word you took into account to use. That voice of "I don't really care about you this is just a job but her is a scripted reply all the same."
Dom's post is more passionate and admirable then the before statement. Adding to the reason I will not adhere. Look I am not mad nor being rude really I'm not. Talk to me on steam, skype, or w/e and you will hear a calm voice talking right back to you with respective tone (and truly happy being I havn't talked to you, dom, at all and its been months for Ghost.) but my mind is set on this. At the bottom of the template there is a funny little section, "Do you agree to follow Resurgence's rules when playing your character?" If they didn't they should have never logged into the site. That's a lawyer tactic at signing evidence for a future trial! Further more, "What sources have you used for your application??" Really man? People don't want BS they wanna to complete this rubbish and RP. JUST RP.

Staff and Admins can look at the info and pull them aside and ask where they got their claims to fame. Not add on more waste to a human beings time. I'm not a kid anymore in school; I'm in the military still as I have been from the start and busy with looking over other soldiers as a squad leader.

What this is is a hard stomp on to an overly thought template. If you wanna grand-father me in for the sake of getting rid of this drama that's fine and if you wanna stand your ground on the matter; that's fine as well. I'll only have akumi and Nick anyway because I have no desire to log in as much time and effort as I did on the last site. Which everyone abandoned me to (sry ghost I know what your gonna say so don't say it.).

like I said to Ghost OOC: my answer here is simple, 'cut the crap and lets rp. Or I walk."
