User:Spartan J73/Spartan-G073

Joe-J73 was born Jeremiah Tanner and was orphaned when a group of Brutes killed his family when he was 16. After which he voluntered to become a Spartan in the Spartan-III program. There he was teamed up with a group of trainees lead by a spartan called Arex-778. After several years of training, he fell in love with a fellow spartan called Scarlet-S75.

Several more years passed, and after much time together and breaking many rules, J73 and S75 started to become intimate, which later resulted in them becoming parents of a baby girl. However, the child was taken from them and put up for adoption. Shortly after their daughter's birth, Scarlet was mortally wounded by a Brute Chopper and died during recovery from a mixture of bloodloss and internal injuries.

Scarlet's demise resulted in a several year depression that resulted him to become a cold blooded killing machine when he finished training a year after the death. After training, he was introduced to his AI system that referst to itself as Zena.

After several years of fighting and growing a close bond with Zena, partially filling the hole in his heart from the loss of his love, Joe became sick of the war thinking it pointless and planned an escape. So, he loaded a stolen Pelican up with weapons and supplies and left Earth to live his life on a far away colonized planet where he could change his identity and live his life anew. However, upon escape his Pelican was destroyed above Reach during its demise by a Covenant Fleet Ship.

Appearance
Joe-J73 is 6' 3" Caucasian male that is fairly light weight for a Spartan. Without his armor, he has short dark brown curly hair and brown eyes. He also wairs a pair of glasses under his helmet.

His armor is a very dark grey (almost black) with blue features and tan markings. He wears EVA armor with a COB helmet and he is usually seen with a pistol on his waist.

Zena (Smart AI)
Zena is the Smart AI that J73 carries around with him. She was made using the mind of Gale Hammon, a little known scientist that had volunteered to be used for the creation of an AI before her cancer induced death 30 years prior.

When Zena chooses to show herself as a hologram, she is a lightweight female with an hourglass figure. Her hair is in a long ponytail on the back of her head, yet she has two strands of hair that she has hanging down the sides of her face. She is usually a light shade of purple, yet when she is mad she becomes more red and when she is really happy she turns pink. When thinking, numbers cover her body.

Zena does have one flaw however. She has a tendancy to randomly fade out when she is thinking too hard, but when she comes back she is perfectly fine, however she totally forgets everthing 30 seconds prior to her fade out.
