Jay-I425

"...And even if we do die, it's for humanity's sake!"

- Jay rallying the surviving troops on

Spartan-I425, better known as Jay-I425 (Born Jay Tyranian), was a who was once part of Incognito Company, until he was extracted from the company in 2551, where he was given his Mark-V armor. He was assigned with his twin sister, Jayne-I428, Kal-I338, and Adam-I420, for Fireteam Gamma One, later known as Anchor Team (Where his codename would be Anchor One), and was one of the participants in the Incognito Era. He was first deployed in 2538. In 2551, Jay was part of the small group candidates in Incognito Company who received, due to being what was known as a "cat-2".

He was also recently equipped with UNSC AI Maria, a female "smart" AI created with the brain tissue of a deceased Spartan III from Incognito Company, Maria-I422, during the period of time he was stranded on Installation 00.

He was eventually recruited into the Spartan IV program, where he was given his dark grey and blue Generation Two MJLNOIR Scout armor. Before he received his Gen Two armor, he wore a dark grey and blue Mark V variant of the ODST armor.

His main weapons of choice (As of 2554) were the MA5D and the standard M6, although he temporarily used a while he was stranded on Installation 00. However, he abandoned the Boltshot due to him finding another M6, but he ended up giving the Boltshot to the science team on the UNSC Under Summer's Gaze.There have been instances, however, where he has mainly only used a shotgun in battles

Jay hopes that someday the UNSC and the Covenant will stop finding Forerunner artifacts, due to the artifacts causing unnecessary battles, and started the Covenant as a whole.

Biography
"Christ, with the amount of Forerunner artifacts we find, I wonder if the Covenant is as annoyed as we are."

- Jay to Kal-I338

Early Life - 2527-2532
Jay, as a child, was fairly loud, often stating the obvious, up until his father's death. His friends called him, the "walking megaphone", and he actually proudly took that title, again, openly saying it.

Recruitment - 2532
Before he was taken into the company, Jay Tyranian, son of Alan Tyranian, and Jay's sister, Jayne, recieved news of their their father's death when forces boarded Alan's ship and killed the crew, including Jay's father. His mother, Sarah Tyranian, became distraught, committing suicide, leaving Jay and Jayne as orphans. Jay was confronted by multiple agents a few days later, asking him to join the program, and he accepted, but with a catch-he could bring his younger sister with him. The agents told him they were thinking of recruiting her anyways, however, he was not accepted into Alpha Company, and instead was taken into Incognito Company, made up of the 178 candidates who weren't accepted into Alpha Company.

Incognito Company - 2532-2551
Jay was taken into program, along with is little sister, Jayne, when he was five years old. He was randomly assigned the number I425, and then educated by multiple ONI agents, along with the 178 other candidates. After his education was complete, they had their first training course, where he and the other candidates had to sprint through an obstacle course and help their fellow teammates if they fell. Jay managed to finish with his team, but ended up in second place, due to Rick-I331's team beating them. The Cantidates took this course every month, between tactics education, resulting in Jay's team eventually getting to first place.

The next six years held hand-to-hand combat training and weapon training, and there was also two optional training courses, Field Medic training and Demolition training. Jay ended up taking an extensive course with demolition training and also hand-to-hand combat. He received decent scores for Demolition training and was praised in mastering Muay Thai, Jujistu and Karate, with his only match being his sister, who mastered Tae Kwon Doe, Jujitsu and Krav Maga.

Finally, after his training, he was given his augmentations, but after this, he learned that one of his teammates, Shane-I430, had been killed in the augmentations, including another 59 of them dead. This almost made him go insane with grief, until he finally was given a mission, helping him get over this, which is what formed his sarcastic and cynical personality. Jay's final test was to infiltrate an Covenant base, outfitted with semi-powered infiltration armor.

Infiltration - 2538
Jay managed to infiltrate the base, killing unsuspecting Covenant, managing to find the objective; to figure out what happened to Maria-I422, and was given orders to collect a piece of her brain tissue for creating a "smart" AI, in case she was KIA. She, unfortunately, was killed, with slash marks found all over her body. He managed to collect the sample, though, and also ended up using a target locater to severely damage the base. He later escaped on a.

Post-Infiltration - 2538
After his mission was finally completed, he was outfitted with his SPI armor for good, and was deployed alongside his fellow Spartan's on March 1st, 2538, where he was deployed on a Covenant-occupied shield world. Jay ended up leading Adam-I420, the team's former field medic, Jayne and Kal, to attack a large Covenant base, succeeding. After the battle, they reunited with their fellow surviving Spartans, and returned to the company's ship, the Incognito's Night.

Eventually, a year later, he participated on Installation 07, where he managed to "accidentally" blow up a Forerunner structure filled with Flood combat forms. He eventually evacuated with the rest of the Spartan's.

MJOLNIR - 2551
Jay had received news in 2551 that he was to be pulled out from the company, not being informed on what was happening. Jay, along with the rest of those being pulled out, were transported to Earth, where they were given Mark-V MJLNOIR armor, and they were put in two teams; Anchor Team, and Walker Team.

Battle Of Reach - 2552
Jay ended up fighting on Reach alone, due to Kal-I338 and Jayne-I428 leading an evacuation effort, with Adam-I420 going missing for three days. Jay managed to fend off as many Covenant as he could, finally managing to board a Covenant frigate and sabotaged the ship's slipspace drive, thus, when the ship went into slipspace, it exploded, with Jay escaping.

After this, he rendezvoused with the rest of his team and escaped Reach, where Jay noticed the Pillar Of Autumn escaping, while Jay's team, Fireteam Gamma One, escaped on a Pelican, where they later managed to land on the UNSC Spartan's Prayer.

Battle Of New Mombasa - 2552
Jay and the rest of Anchor Team would fight in the battle as a very minor role, mainly fighting on the front lines, and I425 ended up hijacking a Banshee to provide air support. Jay ended up getting shot down and could've died, if it weren't for his armor.

After this, he and a platoon of Marines took down an enemy Scarab to give civilians time to evacuate, thanks to Jox Regdinal ramming the machine with a Scorpion tank, allowing Jay the chance to hop on.

Jay, Jayne, Kal, and Adam were finally given the orders to pull out, and they reluctantly did, taking a Pelican to do this.

The Insurrection - 2553-2556
Jay's reaction to having to kill other human's was, well, quite concerning, as he didn't blink an eye when he was deployed onto the front lines against the insurrection. He managed to kill twenty-three insurrectionists, a surprisingly low kill count for Jay.

The Second Battle of Requiem - 2557
Jay, like many other SPARTAN's, was trapped on Requiem, however, he led Kal 338 and a small group of Marines to attack a small Covenant patrol and hijack a Phantom, allowing them to scout out a Covenant base.

Later, he managed to infiltrate the base and capture it.

He managed to successfully interrogate an unknown Elite spy from the Swords of Sanghelios, who gave him information on what Jul' Mdama was planning. Unfortuantly, Jay took too long to give this information to the Infinity, causing the Infinity to find this information on it's own.

The base would later be abandoned when the Infinity evacuated Requiem, and is now destroyed.

The Raid - 2558
In 2558, the Spartan's Prayer and the Gladiator's Sun were attacked by a small group of Covenant remnant's who called themselves, "The Prophet's Vengeance". Jay had been sent to eliminate the leader of the newly formed Covenant, an Elite by the name of Hral Torumai. Jay managed to do this when Hral decided to die with honor and fight off Jay in a duel of energy swords. Jay managed to defeat Torumai and finally managed to cause the faction to collapse. After this, however, they were informed that Adam-I420 would be sent on a highly classified mission by ONI, which somewhat annoyed Jay.

The Spartan's Prayer - 2558
Jay, like all of the forces on the UNSC Spartan' Prayer, had to deal with multiple insurrectionist groups, meaning he saw plenty of action onboard the ship, making him question how secure the ship actually was. However, this was due to there being a infiltration scheme planned by the Insurrectionists, as a quarter of the ship's crew were insurrectionists in disguise, letting hostile forces inside the ship.

- 2558
Jay finally saw some action off of the Spartan's Prayer, when the ship crashed on Installation 00, where he, his sister, and Kal, fought off the Banished, being able to fend off Banished forces as long as they could. Later, Jay tried to contact the Spirit Of Fire, but failed due to the Banished's jamming stations. After this failure, he and his group of survivors fought against the Banished and Flood for a Composer, with Jay's group evacuating after the Flood overwhelmed them.

Later on, a battle for the Index broke out, where all of Jay's forces were killed, leaving only him, Jayne, and Kal surviving. They managed to destroy the jamming stations and make contact with the Strident-class frigate, the UNSC Under Summers Gaze.

- 2558
After Jay evacuated Installation 00, along with the UNSC Under Summer's Gaze, he began suspecting that something was wrong with the ship's crew. He began looking around and found that an Innsurrectionist group infiltrated the ship and began to wreck havoc. They managed to hijack the ship, however, Jay and Kal managed to shut the operation down, with Jay making the decision to throw the group out of the airlock. After going through with the decision, actually throwing them out the airlock. After re-taking the ship, they managed to make a Slipspace jump to Beta Hydri VI, where they made a rendezvous with Spartan-I303.

Jay later participated in a battle against the local insurrection, resulting in many deaths from both sides, however, failing to defeat the innies and being forced to regroup. He later managed to hunt down the leader and neutralize him.

- 2558
After the insurrection on Beta Hydri VI was defeated, he decided to investigate Installation 02, due to wanting to bring his fireteam back to full strength by getting Adam-I420 back. However, the Under Summer's Gaze was ambushed by the remains of the Covenant that Hral Torumai had created, and resulting in Jay and the rest of Anchor crashing onto the Installation. A battle took place a few hours after the ship crashed, resulting in many of those who survived the crash either sustaining injuries or dead. During this battle, he was shot in the leg with a needle rifle. Later, in the aftermath of both the crash and the battle, Jayne, Kal, and an injured Jay, ran into Adam-I420 and Fred Tyranian, Jay's cousin. However, neither of them recognized each other, and Fred was shot through the head by a Kig-Yar sniper. Another fight broke out soon after this, resulting in a squad of ODSTs, (Whom had survived the crash), being forced to interfere.

The Library and the Corvette - 2558
Jay, like every other Spartan on any Halo installation, had to go through the task of making sure the Covenant didn't find the Index. Jay ended up detonating explosives to block the doors to the room the Index was kept, and this actually almost worked, however, a Stealth Elite managed to cut through the rubble with its energy sword, allowing the Covenant to take control of the Index. However, Jay managed to kill the Covenant's leader, Tral Wentonai, and managed to make the Covenant fall back when reinforcements arrived. After this, they discovered that there was a Covenant Corvette about to take off. Anchor team managed to clear out all remaining Covenant forces from the Installation and took the Corvette.

- 2559
After they had finished the task of clearing out Covenant forces from Installation 02, Anchor Team, now back at full strength, had managed to capture the Covenant Corvette and tried to contact Earth, to inform them of their success. However, it seemed that something was keeping Jay and the rest of Anchor Team from informing Earth. Not knowing what was happening on Earth, they made a slipspace jump to Neos Atlantis, they right away informed the UNSC of who they were. The UNSC forces there, skeptical, couldn't take them in, due to the orbital maintenence docks only serving UNSC military vessels, and, as said earlier, due to many suspicions. However, they gave the Corvette temporary security clearance and told the team they could stay for one-hundred and sixty-eight hours, until they would have to leave on the UNSC Halo's Shadow, where they would later depart from. However, forty-eight hours into their stay, they were attacked by hostiles who worked for.

(Again) - 2559
After leaving Neos Atlantis, the Halo's Shadow ended up following a Covenant Frigate via slispace, taking Anchor Team to the last place they wanted to go-Installation 00. After punching the wall due to frustration, Jay made the decision to investigate to see if the Banished still remained. To no one's surprise, the Banished had managed to survive against the Flood. However, Jay had been hoping that the Flood would have wiped them out, but he was more frustrated by the fact that he had returned to his least favorite place in the universe, Installation 00. After witnessing the Banished destroy the Corvette, he noted that the Banished had grown even stronger. Jay, deciding to hear the rest of Anchor Team's thoughts, he initially was going to go with Adam's plan, to leave and make sure to never come back. However, Jayne and Kal quickly shot down this idea, and the group returned to the Installation, where they investigated their former base, the other half of the Spartan's Prayer. The team recovered their goal; a |HAVOC HAVOC Tactical Nuclear Weapon. However, the Banished ambushed them, destroying their ride back to the Halo's Shadow. However, they managed to push back the enemy opposition and managed to return to the ship, where it would launch the HAVOC Nuke and wipe out a Flood-infested area. The Shadow made a slipspace jump to the newly habitable Harvest.

- 2559
When Anchor Team made it to Harvest, the ship landed on the planet and Jay immediately noticed that many of the soldiers there had low morale, due to news of another Insurrection. This annoyed Jay to the point of anger, and he immediately volunteered Anchor Team to take on the Insurrection. However, they were quickly attacked by insurrectionist forces, and Jay was forced to kill more humans. Jay, with a former human kill count of 47, was increased by 32 more KIA insurrectionists.

Personality & Traits
"See the enemy, shoot the enemy, kill the enemy. Bada-Bing, bada-boom."

- Jay explaining the concept of a soldier to a Marine.

Jay was often seen as sarcastic and occasionally impolite, so much so that it was surprising that he was even sent into the battlefield, but despite his attitude, is highly deadly in a fight, being skillful in a large amount of martial arts and a demolition expert, although he prefers to call himself a "badass", and never seemed to question orders, except if the orders involve sacrificing a large amount of soldiers. It is most likely this arrogance that could get him killed, with Jayne even saying, "You'll probably end up crashing on some artifact and try picking a fight with the first thing you see!" This has actually happened during his time on the Ark, such as when he ran into a small Banished force, ending with the force being killed.

He was also very blunt when discussing life-threatening situations, or really any situations involving lots of death.

As a child, he was often very protective of his family, and was seen as very strange by his classmates. Because of this, he was bullied until he joined the Company. Whpile he was being trained, he was even more protective of his sister, and he, at first, did not work well in a team. He ended up becoming the leader of the team after Shane-I430 was killed during the augmentation process. This put Jay in a position he hated, and he almost handed the position to Adam-I420, until he helped them win a challenge.

He was also seen as rather talkative, with one of the most used lines from his peers being, "Shut up!"

Jay had dark brown hair with blue eyes, with three scars over his left eye, and a thin scar on his right cheek.

Skills
Jay, trained in Hand-to-hand combat and Demolitions, mainly stuck to these skills when on the battlefield, while using his weapons extensively. After he received his MJNOIR Armor, he mainly focused on his skills with weapons and Hand-to-hand combat, mainly only using demolitions in select cases, such as when he had to disarm an Insurrectionist bomb on Beta Hydri VI. He was also fairly skilled in knife combat, using this skill by throwing his combat knife at a Brute, piercing it's skull. Jay's skills in demolition work became rustier and rustier the less he used it, such as when he made a defective bomb on Installation 00.

2539-2551
Jay wore sage and green armor during his time with Incognito Company, and he would often use a  in battle, and finally was pulled out by ONI to recieve his  armor.

2551-2554
During this period of time, Jay used the his grey and blue Mark V armor in combat, until he was recruited into the Spartan IV program. His main weapons of choice were the and the standard, with some use of the. However, in 2552, he replaced the EVA left shoulder plate with the jump jet shoulder plate, afraid that too much heavy armor would slow him down too much.

2554-Onwards
Jay would continue wearing his Gen 2 armor for the rest of his military career, and he would use the and the standard  during this time. He would end up using a as his sidearm a few months into his stay on Installation 00, after he found it in a  weapon cache.

Jay also ended up using the during 2556, this ending when he lost interest for it.

Trivia

 * Jay often used a suppressed when he wore his SPI armor, despite his extensive use of the.
 * I425 was a rival to Rick-I331 and Spartan-I303, often arguing with them in dangerous situations. This led to I331s death. I303, eventually, held a grudge against I425.
 * Jay had an encounter with Participant 2 in 2546. It ended with four dead ODSTs, five dead marines, eleven dead Innsurectionists, and one destroyed Covenant ship. Jay survived, but his SPI armor was damaged beyond repair. A replacement set of armor was almost never, at first, to be issued, but eventually, he did receive it.

 * Jay's middle name abbreviated is a pun, making the sound of "JK", which is an abbreviation for "Just Kidding"
 * Jay's lef shoulder plate for his Mark V would vary between the EVA shoulder plate, to the jump jet shoulder plate.
 * Jay actually chose the ODST variant of the Mark V armor, not due to thinking it fitted him well, but because he wanted to feel at least somewhat human.This would cause some confusion between Marines and ODSTs, and even some fellow Spartans. Luckily, this was mainly from a distance, and when they would get closer, they would notice that it was MJNOIR armor. Later, when he was choosing his Generation 2 armor, he noted that there wasn't an ODST variant available.
 * Jay-I425 was JayStopMotionAndMore's first page on Halo Fanon.
