Marines
So there are Marine Elements here? Response:...The entirety of the New Harmony Land Forces Command was put on high alert, and three Marine divisions en route to shore leave on Pandora were reassigned to aid in containment efforts. ..

I could create a Marine Character? Like Sgt. John Hill. 1st Marine Division (example)?

All right. I'll have to settle for local forces. Thanks.--Bobzombie 06:08, April 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * What if the character we were considering using was a SPARTAN and is an ODST? -- Sergeant Major Avery Johnson  20:27, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

I can still use John Hill as civvie right?--Bobzombie 21:08, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

@SPARTAN-091. You can still have a civvie and be completely bad ass. No one said that Militia/Whatever the oloacl forces are were untrained sissies. One of my planned charectars is a former ODST. He is a civvie but is still good at fighting. Check the infection category.--Bobzombie 21:23, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Can I use my character Ross Ainsley in this RP. I think he would fit in good with other UK soldiers :P--Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, UNSC Marine Corps 02:04, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. He'll fit in good with the Monastir Gaurds, since he was originally supposed to be a member of the Scots Gaurds in his article. --Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, UNSC Marine Corps 02:49, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

New Harmony Forces details
New Harmony Forces would fall under the same ranks and customs as the UNSCDF wouldn't they?--Bobzombie 19:40, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Remember; they're Colonial Infantry, which places them as subordinate to the UEG and the UNSCDF. Which is to say, they're still soldiers of the UNSC; just on a different level.

Ummm.....Was that a yes or a no?--Bobzombie 19:45, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

They're UNSC soldiers. That means they'll follow the same military customs, and go along the same ranking ladder.

Good. Thanks.--Bobzombie 19:50, April 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * And by the way, although we Brits say "Leftenant", we still spell it "Lieutenant", regardless to what COD may tell you. :-)--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 18:47, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Infection Units
I thought I better put this up so those who need a unit can sign up.

1143rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team Monastir Guards Commanded by CT or AR
 * Royal Monastir Dragoons or 1st Mechanized Regiment Commanded by AR
 * The Pastor Rifles or 13th Infantry Regiment Commanded by Benjamin Jared Garcia Bobzombie
 * Head Quarters Section TPR
 * 1st Battalion TPR Commanded by Megan Callaghan The All-knowing Sith'ari
 * Charlie Co. CQC Infantry Commanded by Ashton Graves Another Poetic SPARTAN
 * 4th Battalion TPR
 * 7th Battalion TPR
 * Airborne Guards of Huntington Commanded by Sgt. T.N. Biscuts
 * 331st Squadron
 * 332nd Squadron
 * 33rd Squadron

Can I have 1st Battalion, or do I have to make my own?--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 18:47, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Fixed the formations chart. To Sith; you should be commanding your own Regiment, unless you want to be in another user's larger formation.

Sith: You may command the 1st Battalion. You will have to follow CT's 1143rd orders, My orders and anybody else's orders who are higher than you.--Bobzombie 21:09, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Also you will have to be a Lt.Colonel to command the 1st. Garcia may be a Lt.Col. but he still outranks those commanding the lower units by commission.--Bobzombie 21:14, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

I want to be in the Pastor Rifles.King Crusader 17:50, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

I'm fine with it.--Bobzombie 17:51, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1st Battalion has a commander: Major Megan Callaghan--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 21:58, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

The Airborne Guards have two subordinates.--Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, UNSC Marine Corps 21:39, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion
CT and AR you may want to think about making an orders board for the RP. So people can see their current orders I.E. Pastor Rifles: Hold position until Dragoons arrive. That way people can see their orders.--Bobzombie 21:26, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Civvie or Militia man?--Bobzombie 01:12, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

It all depends on whether or not your character is a civilian survivor, or a Colonial Infantryman. If the former is true, then you'll either have to write from the perspectives of both survivors and Military Escorts, or ask someone else to write the perspective of the Colonial Soldiers (provided they're from their unit). If the latter is true, then you should be following what the user in charge of that unit is doing with it.

Pick one of the above units.(Dragoons Airborne or Pastor Rifles)--Bobzombie 01:24, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

Then let me welcome you aboard. *offers hand*--Bobzombie 01:36, April 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Shakes hand* What do I do?

Develop your character put his affiliation as the TPR under the Monastir Guards make his rank etc.--Bobzombie 01:39, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

Ex: Martin Aaron Jones.--Bobzombie 01:40, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

28 Days Later. Body Shots count. Thats as muchas I know.--Bobzombie 12:02, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

Think in the vein of 28 Days Later; they are very much Human, simply infected with a virus akin to Rabies (Seoulnum). Infected individuals still feel pain, may still die from any wound that would be fatal to a normal Human being, and still retain memories, but cannot make sense of them very well (i.e. an infected individual would know the locations of places they'd been to regularly, such as a home or workplace, but would not recognize any familiar persons, and would not hesitate to kill those individuals).

Is Seoulnum a reference to Solanum?--Bobzombie 19:19, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

Groups
The Marine would be a part of one of the Marine Units that Tony is setting up, but a Rebel POW... he would've been used in the initial experiments. I'd suggest changing that...

I've also got a question: My character is a Covenant POW that escaped captivity before reaching the research center. His squad is comprised of elites he rescuded from the facility before being... tested. Would that work?

Nra 'Vadumee

The entire focus of the RP is on UNSC military forces and civilians; quite honestly, an Elite wouldn't exactly fit all too well in with the theme. Also, given that the facility at which the outbreak began was under proverbial Lock and Key, it would be highly doubtful he'd escape. I'd recommend simply using a Marine, Colonial Infantryman, or Civilian Survivor.

Understood, but I'd like to just to point out the fact that he managed to escape before they managed to lock him up, i.e, on the ride there. So, he could have rescued the other elites on board the transport, or rallied them under him otherwise. Just to make a point. I'll use a Marine, but if the opportunity strikes, I'm sending in the Elites.

P.S, Is there as minimal edit count or invite-only policy here? Spartan-118 erased my sign up on the Player Character list saying such. I've messaged him about it and haven't gotten a reply.

Pastor Rifles Form Up
Alright. Just a quick briefing on what we will be doing. First up is we will be deployed to Pastor,Tyumen. Pastor is a standard city-town. About 10,000 population. It will be hit hard. We will try to escort survivors if possible. Remember to follow Garcia's orders. Updates to follow.--Bobzombie 14:08, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Orders 1:1st Battalion (that means you Sith) will be going into the town itself to search for survivors (You too APS).--Bobzombie 14:11, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
