Ha, I've been writing about ODSTs since I was first on this site. First half-novel I wrote was all about ODSTs and guerrilla warfare on Manheim. I do have a Spartan, but I feel that his backstory is significantly different from the rest of them, enough to make him more interesting. In fact, Spartans in the novels actually began to really tick me off, especially since Nylund seemed to indicate that they were Halsey's little pets. Disgusting, if you ask me. Even if she did make them. And then they had the little "John clique" which was just the best of the best, and no one really cared about the expendable guys who died randomly so that the "Big Four" could live on. It just seemed kinda skewed. Anyway. /rant
