Riley-G315
Riley-G315 is an active member of the Spartan-IV Program (formerly the Spartan-III Gamma Company), though she retains her old tag. Riley-G315 is second-in-command of Fireteam Thunder, along with Isabella-G238, Nathan-G187, and Kiara-G214. She was born April 24th, 2539 on the Colony world Alluvion, which was glassed in 2542. Riley-G315 is currently assigned to the UNSC Infinity along with the rest of Fireteam Thunder.

Childhood and Spartan-III Training:
Riley-G315 was born to a family of three, both of her mothers and a 16 year old sister. From a young age, Riley-G315 was exceptional in her size and physical strength, but her demeanor often landed her in trouble at school. Despite her aggression and discipline issues, Beta-5 Division declared Riley a viable candidate at the age of four, and began observation.

After her family was lost in the glassing of Alluvion, Riley-G315 was intercepted by agents from Beta-5 Division before she could join with other refugees from Alluvion. Riley agreed to join Gamma Company when offered the opportunity to take revenge on the Covenant.

Riley-G315 quickly adjusted to the physical stresses of her Spartan training, and soon made friends with Isabella-G238, Nathan-G187, and Kiara-G214, and Illya-G047. Together, they became a tight-knit team. LCDR Ambrose assigned them Team Katar, thinking that their tight cohesion as teammates and friends meant they didn’t need to be split into different teams.

Upon being shown the records of Beta and Alpha’s augmentation, including the injuries and deaths, Riley-G315 showed no hesitation in accepting augmentation. After augmentation, Riley-G315 had one of the longest periods of adjustment, but emerged with newfound strength, and physical size as one of the largest Gamma Spartans, and the tallest member of her team.

Battle for Earth (October 20 - December 3 2552):
Team Katar engaged in multiple strategic attacks on Covenant forces, most notably in the infiltration of a Covenant weapons shipment due for the frontlines of the New Mombasa attack, and the subsequent sabotage of multiple crates of weapons.

Team Katar executed strategic assassinations of advanced Zealot teams and Sangheili Field Marshals, and one failed attack on a Zealot team, which left Riley-G315 wounded.

During the Battle for Earth, Riley was wounded with a Covenant Energy Sword in her abdomen, her left arm severed mid-forearm, and her right arm severed upper at the forearm. Severe nerve and muscle damage in both arms required the amputation of both. Muscle and nerve damage in umbilical and lumbar regions of abdomen, as well as some minor damage to posterior lumbar region. Riley-G315 was then given THERMOPYLAE-grade prosthetics. (September 8, 2552)

Post Human-Covenant War (December 11, 2552):
In a conflict postwar with a Covenant Remnant, Riley-G315 was shot in the head with Covenant Needle Rifle. Minor damage to frontal lobe and upper margin of orbit. (June 25, 2533)

Riley-G315 was assigned to the UNSC Infinity postwar, while Team Katar remained behind, sent on multiple sabotage missions on Covenant Remnants. (September 29, 2554)

Riley-G315 was present on the Infinity during the revolt orchestrated by the Servants of Abiding Truth. (February, 2553)

First Battle of Requiem (July 21 - 23, 2557):
Riley-G315 was sent on multiple recon missions after crash-landing on Requiem, and recovered Promethean technology, including weapons, fuel sources, and data on Promethean forces.

Second Battle of Requiem (February 7 - March 3, 2558):
Briefly assigned to small Spartan-IV teams as temporary member, mainly operating as backup until a full-time member could be found.

Recent (March 4, 2558 - October, 3558):
Riley-G315 recently rejoined with her team, which has since been redesignated Fireteam Thunder. In the seven months since rejoining, the team has had very few combat missions, although a large joint strike force with the Swords of Sanghelios brought Fireteam Thunder to the forefront of the hunt for Covenant Remnants, and placed Oru ‘Mdama with Fireteam Thunder.

Personality:
Riley-G315’s personality has been commonly characterized as “intense”; Her ferocity in combat is unparalleled, and her bravery in the face of the enemy is admirable.

However, her aggression and rage often spill over, and Riley-G315 is known widely for her tendency to get in fights. Before rejoining with her team, Riley-G315’s own attitude had become self-destructive; Taking on unnecessary risks in combat, disrespecting superior officers, and social isolation.

Since rejoining her team, Riley-G315 has since begun to stabilize. Her aggressive tendencies are funneled into War Games, and while she still often fails to properly address her superiors, she now subverts command and defies orders less often than before.

Psychological evaluation has found markers of generalized anxiety disorder, body integrity disorder.

Combat Skills and Training:
Riley-G315 is an excellent CQC fighter, heavy munitions and explosives expert, but a poor marksman compared to her company. She prefers to use the Assault Rifle in close quarters.

Riley-G315 has basic skills in driving and piloting vehicles of all types, but is generally considered unremarkable in those fields.

Equipment:
Riley-G315 wears the Striker, a Generation-II MJOLNIR variant developed by Lethbridge Industrial for high-risk combat insertions, and designed with Titanium-Tungsten-Nickel alloy and carbon nanotubes arranged in a helicoidal structure, specifically to resist heavy impacts.

Riley-G315’s favored weapons are the MA5D Assault Rifle with the Longshot scope, and the M6H Gunfighter Magnum.

Riley-G315’s prosthetic arms are custom built, to replace the THERMOPYLAE-grade prosthetics given to her. They are constructed out of a finely tuned alloy of titanium, tungsten and nickel, with carbon nanotube conductors. The arms are constructed to match Riley-G315’s strength while wearing her MJOLNIR at full power, allowing her to lift incredible weight.

Riley-G315’s arms also have two hidden weapons; A seven-inch straight blade mounted on a magnetic rail on the dorsal surface of her arm, and an integrated 12.7 mm pistol in each forearm, with a 4-shot magazine.

Trivia:

 * This rapid growth places tension on her muscles; Riley-G315 is in near-constant pain, even with surgical reconstruction of her leg muscles.


 * Riley-G315’s prosthetic limbs were originally THERMOPYLAE-grade, but were customized and further developed with the unauthorized assistance of a Huragok Engineer on the Infinity.


 * Riley-G315’s favorite color is yellow.
