User:Ahalosniper/Meet the Squad

Meet the Squad is a small experiment being run based on the format of a Tabletop RPG theorycrafting series called Meet the Party. For a given example, one writer will come up with a theme for the group, such as "Spartan Team" or "Smuggler Crew"; these themes could be very broad, such as including Spartans from any class in a Noble-like team, to very specific, perhaps each sharing one trait and coming up with different spins on the concept. Each participant will create one character, describing their history and personality in a brief paragraph. After all slots in the team are filled, the participants then return for the "How They Relate" section and describe, in one or two sentences, how their character sees and might interact with the others in the group.

The characters created as a result need not always suddenly be canonized in their writers' larger works, but should be a fun exercise and perhaps spark ideas to pick up and run with.

Team Dingo
Formed as part of SPARTAN-III Alpha Company, Team Dingo failed to truly distinguish itself in training as a middle-of-the-road team, neither excelling nor falling behind in its exercises. Their potential was quickly reevaluated following their performance in the field, however, as Dingo tirelessly carried out rapid deployments and sabotaged numerous enemy fortifications during Alpha Company's initial deployment to Insurrectionist-controlled Mamore. Repeat performances in the Bonanza Asteroid Belt and the Far-gone Colony Platforms might have earned the team consideration for extraction from the suicide unit if only Operation: PROMETHEUS not come up so quickly, where all members of Team Dingo were listed Missing In Action.

Who They Are

 * Name: Sabal-A202
 * Writer:
 * Description: Despite holding Groombridge-1830 against the Covenant in 2530, the UNSC's victory cost Sabal his parents at the age of five, old enough to know what he'd lost, and he eagerly accepted the offer to join the first SPARTAN-III company. Initially prone to angry outbursts and arrogance in how certain his vengeance would be, Sabal was soon tempered by the stories of his company-mates who'd personally witnessed the deaths of their loved ones at the hands of Covenant troops. Though outclassed by natural talents in other formations, Sabal's aggressive strategy and reckless use of Mongoose ATVs to rapidly move his team saw routine enough victories in training matches to be promoted to leadership of Team Dingo, and continued to serve them well in the field. Though he could be headstrong in his desire to inflict as much damage on Covenant targets as possible, he always remained mindful of input from specialists in his team when coming up against challenges suited to their skillsets.
