Ok so, clearly I have a thing for 7 ft Cyborg Supersoldier Sniper Women, because every time there's a Spartan team with one they end up being my favorite character of the group

Of course Master Chief's suit doesn't jerk him off. If you read the books, you know it ripped that thang clean off, bounced it around the lifeboat in Halo 1, that's why all the marines in it died

Hornet

The hornet is probably my favourite vehicle in the halo universe, I loved playing the missions where it gets used in halo 3. I find its design to be a pretty perfect balance of futuristic technology that seems possible and realistic military design, I especially liked it’s ability to carry extra troops which modern halo aircraft’s don’t normally do in such an interesting fashion

Halopedia lore

The AV-14 Hornet is a VTOL capable aircraft in service since at least 2524, during the Insurrection. It served all the way into the Human-Covenant War from the Battle for Arcadia to the Battle of Installation 00.

The Hornet is often the mainline UNSC aircraft, that can carry two passengers and can hover in place over areas.

The most analogous vehicle to the Hornet is the Falcon, seen during the events Halo: Reach. It acts as the mainline UNSC air that game as well and features dual gunner seats. In-game versions can carry more passengers and some have a pilot-controlled main gun.

Alternate appearance.

Happy birthday to Vice Admiral Preston Cole!

Today is his -447th birthday!

Cole was born on a small farm on Earth, as one of seven children. At a young age he demonstrated signs of being a prodigy, but this would prove to hinder him more than help him. While he was a hard worker, he was frequently accused of cheating due to his excellent testing record, and the lack of a challenge lead to disinterest and faltering grades. When he graduated high school, he lacked the grades or connections to go to a military college, so he enlisted in the UNSC in the traditional way, as a crewman.

When an ensign gave Cole his slipstream coordinates to calculate for him, Cole demonstrated his intellect by not only performing the calculation, but formulating a better way to do it. This caught his superior officer's attention, who recommended him to Luna OCS Academy. During his time there, he was involved in a scandal around Inna Volkov, the daughter of Admiral Konrad Volkov. Inna gave birth to a son, who's father's identity was unknown, but believed to be one of six cadets at Luna OCS, including Cole. While Cole was not the father, he nevertheless married Inna two months later, though there is disagreement as to his motivations. Despite this incident, Cole would go on to graduate magna cum laude. Cole and Inna would have more three children, but he rarely saw his family once the conflict with the Insurrection began to spread.

Cole would prove to be an incredible strategist, lauded for his unusual and highly successful tactics and hailed as a hero in the UNSC. It would come at great personal cost, with his estranged wife filing for divorce in 2500, and withholding contact with their children.

While on leave a year later, he met a bar owner named Lyrenne Castilla, whom he married a short time later. While Lyrenne was pregnant, the UNSC discovered she was actually a high-ranking Insurrectionist leader whom he'd faced off with before. His relationship with her would attract scrutiny, and while he narrowly avoided a court martial due to the efforts of Admiral Stanforth, the Bellicose, Lyrenne's ship, was alleged to have been lost at the Battle of Theta Ursae Majoris (though it would mysteriously reemerge twice more in Cole's life).

With his spirit broken and his loyalties called into question, he was reassigned to a desk job on Earth, with a quiet promotion and offer of retirement to follow shortly after. He accepted, and faded from public view, with the exception of his messy, highly-publicized marriages and divorces with much younger women. His health began to fail, with many of his vital organs needing to be replaced through flash cloning.

With the outbreak of the Human-Covenant war, the UNSC found itself in an unprecedented position against a much more powerful enemy, and were desperate for leadership after the loss of Harvest to the Covenant. The UNSC tapped Cole for reenlistment, both for his mind and because he was an easy scapegoat if the counter-attack failed. As the war was underway, Cole's fleet would suffer heavy losses but ultimately won every major battle against the Covenant that he was involved in. In 2530, the UNSC was finally able to capture a living Sangheili and interrogate them about the Covenant's motivations. As the prisoner spewed religious dogma, Cole realized that the Covenant did not actually know at lot about humanity.

To keep this advantage, he implemented what became known as the Cole Protocol--a widespread policy meant to prevent the Covenant from finding the location of Earth. The Protocol forbade fleeing vessels from retreating to Earth or any human colony. If fleeing was impossible, the crew was to destroy the ship after wiping all data. This would prove to be a scourge on the Covenant, slowing their advance.

Cole's battles would take him to Psi Serpentis, where his fleet would face off against a Covenant fleet of over three hundred ships. Despite being significantly outnumbered, Cole was able to repel the attackers until and additional fleet of two hundred arrived to provide support. Realizing that he lacked the firepower to defeat the reinforcements, Cole taunted the Covenant fleet to lure them in before he had his forces attack the gas giant Viperidae. The resulting explosion killed the entire Covenant fleet, and likely Cole. Unless:

An investigation into Cole's actions just before the destruction of Viperidae revealed curious behavior. First, Cole contacted the Reach super-AI network to assess the possibility of a slipspace jump in conditions exactly like the battle of Psi Serpentis. Additionally, before the battle, he made major changes to his crew, possibly to ensure that anyone stationed with him would remain loyal if he ordered the slipspace jump and deserted to a quieter life.

For those who believe him dead, he was honored and remembered as one of the UNSC's most prolific war heroes, but those who believe he is alive hope he can be convinced to join the UNSC again to guide them through the post-war world.

If the rumors are true: In canon (~2560), he is turning 90!

Roundup of my non-authoritative but maybe helpful advice/inspiration posts for Halo OCs:

Some things to know and think about for making Spartan-IIs and Spartan-IIIs

Spartan-II-focused character development questions

Some things to know and think about for making an ODST

Human-focused but much less specific character development questions for Halo OCs

(Once again, I'm not ~an authority~ on the lore but I swallowed the whole written Halo canon like a snake eating an egg once and I feel like that can at least maybe help, also you should have fun and do whatever you want.)

Everybody, I am SCREAMING!!! At HCS they had a short canon story which details Master Chief and Arbiter’s reunion after the end of Halo 5, and voiced by their original voice actors!!! It’s so good!!!

Oh shit.

I’ve just had a BAD idea!

Buckle up! This is gonna get nasty!

Parallels.

Or

Seeing Patterns in Things that Aren’t There

Part 35.

A Monument to All Your Sins.

1. “What form of non-Gloinkinian mass DARES presume presence in the nest of the Gloink Queen?!”

“You foolish assortment of colourful characters! Do you not realise that EVERYTHING must be Gloinks?! I am Gloinks! You will be Gloinks. GOD will be Gloinks!”

- The Gloink Queen. - The Amazing Digital Circus - Pilot (2023).

2. "We are the Flood. There is no difference. Until all space and time are rolled up and life is crushed in the folds ... no end to war, grief, or pain. In a hundred and one thousand centuries ... unity again, and wisdom. Until then -sweetness."

- The Gravemind. - Halo: Primordium. (2012)

This one just came to me now and I HAD to make it.

Obviously the Gloink Queen is nowhere near as powerful as the Gravemind. But they both share similar goals.

Assimilating and consuming anything and everything even remotely different from them until there is nothing left but them (Gloinks/The Flood).

Make of this what you will.

okay so was anyone gonna tell me that Halo released a short story about a Sangheili telling a little girl the story of Fal 'Chavamee while protecting her only to be like "actually this ending is depressing how about you make one up with your toys"

or was I supposed to just find a random comment, wonder wtf they were talking about and thought they meant Oasis from Halo: Fractures, google "halo story shard", and find out there's a whole part of canon that I've just completely never heard about???

#halo #halo sangheili #halo lore #sangheili #halo fractures #halo tenrai #halo eu #halo extended universe #halo elite #halo elites #my post #my posts #like okay alternate universes guess we're doing that now #why did they have to give it the same name as the second story anthology book tho this is gonna get confusing now #still I am glad to have another addition to 'tall warrior alien becomes guardian to small child and acts wholesome with them' #and also one with a happier ending than Oasis; even tho technically the girl in that isn't “small child” STILL EMOTIONALLY IT COUNTS
