I designed it to have characters relax, enjoy themselves, or get rough and ready. Note: This is a thread based in the Halo Universe. Any new players must have a character appropriate for the setting.<br/><br/>There is no posting order in this thread. Feel free to post when ever you choose,  however, please put in your character(s)'s name and what area they are in New Haven with every post you make. All characters should enter through one of the three entry ways: Repair Hangar A, Repair Hangar B, or Guest Ship Dock. Characters can exit these ways, check into one of the rooms at either hotel towers, or stay the night in your ship at the docks.<br/><br/>If you enter a character, remember to exit that character. Any characters left in any of the areas of New Haven will be regarded as still existing in that particular area.<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Ready? Fight!</span></span><br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/cd/Colby_Vs._Shana.jpg)<br/>{Colby and Shana practice their boxing skills during their time on Flood 89}<br/></div><br/>Battling can be tricky. Because there will not be any god modding, try to keep it fun and fair. You can go for the kill, but you may NOT succeed without the other writer allowing it. For a simple example: "A dodges the left hook swing and in return moves his leg back to bring it forth in one powerful motion toward B."  now it will be up to B if the kick was a successful blow. "B prepares for the kick already seeing the move ahead of time, she blocks it with the palms of her hands, but the blow is too strong and she is knocked backwards where she struggles for balance." Remember every action there is a reaction and it all takes some sort of affect. In this example: A may have dodged a punch, but has suffered some energy loss for his efforts. B may have blocked the kick, but now she is off balance and her hands have taken on the pain of the blow.<br/><br/>If you decide to go into battle with another character, set up a time where you both can be active throughout the fight. This way the fight has an ending without one writer being stuck until the other can return. From personal experience it is a little rough to leave a battle in the middle because something popped up and when I've returned somehow my character had lost and been brushed aside. Not a good feeling :(<br/><br/>Please follow Elliquiy's set of rules (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=98632.0)  on top of these as well for everyone to better enjoy themselves :)<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">New Haven's Known Characters</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">If you'd like your character from the story (or even a new one) placed here let me know via PM and I will enter your character here.

Ages ago she had first joined the UNSC in  a desperate act to support her sick baby girl and young husband. After four years of average service she was returned home only to be stop-lossed. Shortly after, her colony was destroyed by covenant forces. Heart broken, Shana desired nothing more than death in the field of duty. However, new hope came to her and instead she built up her ranking in high hopes of becoming a legendary Spartan. Something went wrong in the process to become a super soldier and the rest of her report was classified. 16 years later Shana was the lowest of rankings and soon began to go against the UNSC and their beliefs. Killing her teammate in cold blood put her on the fast track to the Penal Colonies. Before she arrived, however, she took down the freighter transporting her and escaped. Shana is on the UNSC's Kill On Sight list and commands a Rebel marathon-class ship known as Ohana. When she is not commanding her crew she can be found keeping New Haven in check.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/96/Dexter_Avatar.jpg)</div> <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Name:</strong></span> Dexter<br/> <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Species:</strong></span> Artifical Intelligence<br/> <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Gender:</strong></span> voice programed male<br/> <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Height:</strong></span> 1'11" x 1'8"<br/> <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Preference:</strong></span> Asexual; Organics (anything living)<br/> <span class="bbc_u"><strong>New Haven Occupation:</strong></span> Mechanic, default Host throughout New Haven<br/> <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Characteristics:</strong></span> Smartass, Intelligent, Obnoxious, Curious<br/> <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Turn Ons:</strong></span> Positive Lifeforms, Unique genetics<br/> <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Turn Offs:</strong></span> Hackers, Dumb A.I.s<br/> <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Background:</strong></span> Dexter was created to mimic the design of the monitor.

Saw his first Glassing on his first Military excursion a few months after training. Became an ODST at the age of 16. Served with Gunny Buck, but was transferred to another unit before New Mombasa. Spent the rest of the war serving with multiple ODST units, being praised for his non-traditional style of warfare. Due to his praise he was bumped up to the rank of Staff Sergeant and immediately recruited into the Spartan-IV Program. However... His "Work Hard, Play Much Harder" attitude was something no one could overlook even with his battle record. Staff Sergeant Jonathan Gates struggled to keep this rank during his time as an ODST. He was moved to a more "capable" commander (GnySgt Buck) who kept Gates busy with more than just missions. After reassignment before New Mombasa, Gates gained a Field Promotion of 1st Lieutenant after all of his command unit was wiped out and temporarily held this Rank until the end of the war. He was being reviewed to see if he was eligible of keeping this rank, but was quickly denied when he personally led an "Enlisted Task Force" to crash the party of UNSC High Command, claiming that they "could enjoy high class beer and pussy too". UNSC High Command could not deny his Combat prowess but knew they needed a firm hand to control him. Commander Palmer was this firm hand, unafraid of keeping Gates in back-to-back missions. Uncaring if Gates slowly lost his mind in the midst of it all. Several months gone by, Palmer is slowly wondering if Gates was even human as his psychological level had not changed after spending so many hours in combat against Remnant Covenant and Insurrectionists, until... she found out that Gates had slept with every female he had come into contact with save Palmer herself. This included Insurrectionists. God knows how many of them got pregnant. Jonathan Gates became a hushed secret after news of Palmers failure reached UNSC High Command. If Palmer couldn't handle a horn dog like Gates, then who could? There was no way they would kick him out of the UNSC. God knew they already had way too much UNSC deserters that would give the Insurrectionists an edge. It was a former comrade of Gates' that did him in eventually. That comrade made a career out of his time with the UNSC and was but a mere Captain within High Command. He told them of Gates' immense loyalty to the Corps. A month later, Gates was reassigned to his new unit on some backwater planet. Private Gates was no longer a Marine but an Army Trooper. A blow that, to this day, scarred him for life. Claims to have gone to Boot Camp with Lavernius Tucker.<br/><br/></div></div><br/><br/><div align="center">Curious about the Ohana Rebels and the main story?
