#Spartan IVs
Text
I love when people talk about the IVs because, like most people, I saw Majestic being a bunch of stupid dude bros in the beginning of SpOps and I saw Halo 4 introduce the new kids and I was like. okay.
But then you look at the IVs for more than 10 seconds and you go, oh shit. You’re in your 20s? You were scouted by the shadow military organization to sell yourself into service for as long as they want? You don’t know how long you’ll live but you have a shorter leash than the other generations (not counting the Gammas of the IIIs and their need for smoothers) because IVs need a team of people to keep them running. Techs and tune ups and faulty experiemental augmentations?
The IVs grow on you when you give them a chance. You can even feel bad about DeMarco. sometimes.
And the number of IVs who have the most tragic backstories because they don’t realize it (Tomas Horvath, Sarah Palmer) as well as the ones we know have left the UNSC (Vladimir Scruggs, Isla Zane). I want to see what they do with Thorne if he’s still alive.
Also, I mean come on Horvath, dude, if I lived after a catastrophic equipment failure on my first drop as an ODST I would not continue my service. That’s a sign from some higher power saying get out dude.
I just want to look at the IVs with more nuance than “oh yeah these ones signed up voluntarily as adults” because while that is true, the culture and sheer loss of life in the Halo Universe must play a factor into what are viable career options. Spartan Hazard pay must be nice and if you’ve been a marine or ODST or Spec Ops or other special lil boot boy, and you’re given the chance to be more powerful, maybe live longer, or even get better benefits to send home, wouldn’t you take it?

So I'm writing and I have a campaign play of Halo 5: guardians playing in the background, Buck's armor is so similar to his ODST one and Vale is a bad bitch.
I know Dr. Halsey says the Spartan IV are nothing compared to the Spartan II but y'all the IV can be baddies like damn. That ask I answered about the Spartans II being attractive to someone who can rival them can happen. Like, I seriously think if an IV has had their augmentations long enough and has similar genetic markers, they could rival a Spartan II. There is a reason some IV do better than others.

Halo — Requiem Explorers The battle of Requiem saw a number of Spartan-II veterans outfit themselves in prototype GEN2 gear. Even on dangerous exploratory operations, many preferred the inherent advantages of older Mark IV GEN1 suits. Among these was a legacy of intimidation and heroism, dating back to the Harvest campaign. These cyborg super-soldiers were an omen to seasoned members of Jul 'Mdama's Storm Covenant.

Working on a new character art style (Not really new, more like going back to an older refined style.)
