Tropes and Shenanigans for Delta Company Trainees
For the sake of cataloging all my outrageously stupid ideas and half-baked concepts for the lives of SPARTAN-III Delta Company, I decide to leave them here and expand on them as time goes on through discussion or through my sudden and very stupid imagination decides to kick in because boot camp is boot camp and shit happens.

For starters, there are going to be upstarts and sore thumbs that stick out early into training. These kids can be prodigies or they can be mishaps that somehow became part of a prestigious lot. Daniele-D003 of my own creation would be an example of a potential prodigy. Daiki-D217 by Sev40 or Merlin-D032 are examples of possible mishaps to different degrees.

There will be fights. There will be maiming. There will be harming.

The Punching Bag
Merlin-D032, I have unwittingly assigned the designation of Delta Company's first punching bag. He is a running gag for me and hopefully many others soon to come. While my favorite character in my toolkit at the moment and I have handed some of my own worldviews and character traits off to him, he is hopefully not a self-insert and just a favorite character to write. He's a punching bag, use him effectively and please keep him alive. Otherwise, have fun. Just run any scenarios by me before you decide to beat him to a pulp.

Examples of this character's use already involve an incident in his bio with fellow Team Boson Spartan, Andra-D054, one of my other Spartans. She beat him up because he got insufferably annoying and invasive in his attempt to be concerning and friendly. We all have a time where we want to be left alone after all.

Another is Adrian-D111, one of my Spartans again. He beats him up on their first official interaction as teammates. That event still needs fleshing out but its coming up.



Last and most notably my first use of the character by somebody else - D042 and I agreed to use him as a punching back for Sergei-D167. Following an incident involving the Camp Ambrose plumbing system, hot water, winter, and a lot of bullshit. Sergei tracked down Merlin for shutting down the water in camp for a week and shit ensued from there. More details are still coming down the pipeline.

More to come.

Room One and Teachers' Pets
Given the circumstance, Spartans numbered from D001-D010 have become numerously identified by multiple creators involved in the DELTA Initiative. David-D001, Daniele-D003, Liz-D004, Marcus-D005, Matt-D007, and Justin-D009. These are the names Spartans in Room One so far recognized.

Given the meet up of so many Spartans by so many Creators, it creates oppurtunity for shit to happen and Roleplays to become possible. Outside traditional team dynamics, the early days of Delta Company can be explored a little bit through the eyes of Room One. But also of note is that a number of these Spartans seem to be quite decent or even above average among their peers. In someways, it set up a group that could easily designated, Teachers' Pets.

At some point, if I come up with a better nickname - I will try to make this a running gag, but still, with so many Spartans involved and so many creators. I think we would be missing an oppurtunity if we didn't explore them in a future RP or something like that at a later date.

Rogue Gallery
There are a lot of Spartans jumping off the deep end on Halo Fanon, Delta Company is no exception. Without knowing what will happen after 2557 and the road block that remains till the release or announcment of Halo 6. It is hard to tell where Delta Company's story can go - but given those problems, it seems it has stopped no one from deciding their Spartans will run for the hills and create shenanigans against the UNSC. They are the failure of failures, and somehow everyone thought Gamma Company was bad.

The entirety of Team Boson, Team Hadron, and some parts of other teams. Then there are Spartan-Hunter teams like Team Nova and Team Anion who will work from the other side. It's a game of cops and robbers or cowboys and indians. Someone break out the popcorn.

We will have to wait and see how this turns out though. That aside, I'm too tired to jot down everything I've noted or thought of yet so - I'll leave this cliffhanger. Hopefully, I can expand on this soon. Take care ya'll and leave feedback I guess.
