Background:The Master Chief is the sole Spartan to leave the Reach system aboard the Pillar of Autumn (with the exception of Linda-058 in cryo). For all he knows, he is the last Spartan alive. All of humanity depends on him, for the Covenant are still strong, and there are new enemies and variables to contend with that Earth knows nothing about-the Flood, the Forerunner, and their creations, such as 343 Guilty Spark. He has lived most of his life in various military camps on Reach; stolen from his family at six, his name changed to "John-117," his entire upbringing has been centered around making him a mechanism of military efficiency, utilizing both force and tactics. He displays an odd sort of attitude for a creation of the military: he does not glorify his actions, he merely does what he has to do. He does not hate his enemy; he kills them because he knows it is his duty to kill them; to win. "It wasn't [the Chief's] job to make things suffer - he was just here to win battles. Whatever it took." (FoR, p.6) He is an unconventional Hero, for though he is strong, fast, and brilliant he is the epitome of none, and is surpassed by other Spartans in each area. What John does possess above all is leadership and, to both Cortana's repeated salvation and bewilderment, probability defying luck.

 

Fan Rumor: John 1:117 the chapter and verse where Jesus is introduced as the Messiah.

 

Personality: John, outside of combat, doesn't have much personality. He was raised as a weapon, a creature of war and not allowed to experience much outside of that. "Civilian" life is all but unknown to him. In battle, he's fearless but never reckless taking whatever risks are required to win, but no more, no less. As time progresses, John may develop more of a true personality but for the moment he is what he was made to be, an ideal of military thought and efficiency. John was intended to be a "Fire and forget" weapon and little more.

 

Powers: As a Spartan combat Cyborg, John has been enhanced for battle. He is faster and more durable, able endure incredible punishment without failing. He feels practically no pain, heals quickly and is immensely strong, able to flip tanks over with little effort. John's nervous system has been boosted and wired with an integral targeting system that links with his weaponry which, along with his extensive weapons training makes him a deadly shot. The Moljinor Mark V battle armor is capable of generating a nearly impenetrable forcefield. The field weakens as it is hit, slowly recovering power over time. I built this effect using the "Regenerating" Forcefield modifier. The field loses Def for Each point of Body done to the field, regenerating the damage The Damage is regenerated at 1/1 on each of the character's phases.

 

Appearance: John, like all Spartans, wears a powerful suit of powered armor, the Moljinor Mark V. The suits are dull olive drab color and completely cover the wearing. They're sealed against EMP and radiation and maintain a sealed environment which is proof against biowarefare agents and bacteria. A glare shielded, armored visor covers his face. Out side of his armor, John has close cropped reddish brown hair and freckles. He's 41 years of age but since Spartans spend so much time in cryogenic suspension, there is no telling how old he looks. One would suspect he looks very physically fit and is pale since he rarely gets any sun.

Re: Character write up:The Master Chief

 

In the third novel they explain further into the rest of the spartans, not all died on reach. Also the novels are suprisingly good, not great lit. but very fun and quick to read.
