User:SPARTAN 119/CH-01 (Kirk)

Early life
Born in 2510, Kirk was one of 150 children kidnapped at the age of six by ONI for the SPARTAN II project. Unlike, Ajax-013, Kelly 087, Frederic-104, John-117 and the other operational SPARTAN IIs, Kirk's body could not handle stress of the augmentation procedure and was crippled. For the next 35 years of his life, Kirk was confined to a gel tank and placed in a non-combatant role, as he was still of great intelligence, in spite of the extesive damage to his body. After the end of the Human-Covenant War in 2553, Kirk and several other crippled ex-SPARTAN IIs requested to be cryogenically frozen until "such time as the technology exists to return them to normal functionality.

Human Cyberneticization Project
In 2581, humanity made first contact with a race of advanced cyborgs known as the Machina, whose cyberneticization methods promised to enable humans who had been crippled in accidents to gain a new body, more powerful than that of a healthy, unaugmented human. In 2583, with the help of Machina frame-manufacturers, the UNSC began the Human Cyberneticiztion Project, a project meant to increase the number of potential recruits for combat roles by allowing those who are crippled to enter the military and create powerful super soldiers to supplement the SPARTAN IV project. Many who had been crippled by accident of disease to were offered the chance to gain a new body in exchange for military service. Kirk and the other crippled SPARTAN IIs were unfrozen immidiately. Kirk and every last one of the other crippled IIs took up the offer immidiately.
