User:Neo Hikato/Nion

Nion is a Kig-Yar(Jackal) Sniper who served in the Covenant for most of his life until the Great Schism occurred. He fought and survived many battles against the humans, despite his dislike for combat.

Early Life
Nion was born on Eayn in November 13, 2533, the 9th of Reclamation for the Covenant. He begun his training in sniping 15 years later, having developed a good eye for the smallest detail. Despite his training, Nion didn't really want to go into combat ; Nion didn't want to kill unless there were. 'Kill or be killed', that was the motto he developed and followed.

Unfortunately, poverty took a toll to the point where he needed a job. Nion, despite not wanting to go into combat, joined the Covenant Army in 2552 in a effort to earn a better life.

Early Career
It was fortunate that Nion was able to join a good squad; it's crew consisting of Unggoy,Sangheili, and Kig-Yar. Out of all the races in the Covenant, Nion didn't want to be set with a crew of Jiralhanae, and Yanme'e, Jiralhanae the most. During this time, Nion participated in the Battle of Mombasa, both before and after the Prophet of Regret destroyed the city. Nion's skills were all put to the test during this Battle, but he tried to retain his motto by killing only those who wanted to do harm to him. His squad died during this battle, either from the humans, or the slip-space rupture.

Nion regrouped with the other Covenant to defend the area around Voi from human assault. During this battle, Nion's curiosity led him to using a BR55HB SR Battle Rifle, which proved to be effective. He was, however, left for dead when the Prophet of Truth left through the portal that was created; the worst part being that he had to survive the Flood. Nion survived this second situation, and grouped up with a squad of Covenant Separatists, who he didn't know defected from the Covenant. The squad brought him up to speed on what was going on, leading to Nion's ultimate decision to join the Separatists.
