So yeah why do your character get up everyday to fight in this war?
Are they like Otto and they fight to protect their family/loved ones?
Are they like Bella and fight because they believe it is what is expected of them?
Are they bloody thirsty like Elias?
Do they seek to gain honor for their family/honor for themselves, to their like Quilian or Katar?
OTHER?!
I think this question says a lot about your character

Lemmeh see... Zaku fights because he has the need to seek glory for his people, his vessel, and himself. He also unconsciously seeks repentance for his many murderous acts during the HUman-Covenant War through fighting alongside the humans... but he would never admit it. Justin fights because he simply knows no other way. It's how he was raised, and it's shaped how he views the world, as well as his reactions to fellow beings. Eo (when we bring him back bonded to the Monitor) fights for revenge. He wants to cause Grim and the Rifters as much pain as he can. .... and I need to bring back Alex from the RP charrie graveyard before I can say anything about him. xD

•Rych is an Honor Guard Ultra. So he's kinda been raised to fight.
•Darman is just trying to help everyone make it out.
•Oppum is a mercenary. He has to make a buck somehow.
•Kaze signed up to watch the Covenant burn.
•Nathan finally has an excuse to pack heat.
•Echo is following orders. He's still a newby, and hasn't had time to think about things like this.

Zarra want's to follow in her father's footsteps and be a hero. Targa was expected to be a warrior and never considered anything else as an option. Pretty much all my Elites also fought because really believed in the Covenant and later because they were outraged at being betrayed. I haven't really decided why Iita is going to fight yet, but probably she'll be looking for adventure. Diana fights because she thinks that is what she is meant to do. My other human characters, (which I don't really use anymore), fought after Earth was attacked. It was then it became clear to them that they needed to defend their home.

In the 2552 storyline, all my characters fight because they have to. A couple of years in the future though, there's a few subtle differences.
Jack wants revenge for his fallen Hotel Team. Lachlan doesn't know what he's fighting for any more and Anau has a family to defend. I think Ream is going to want revenge on Anau, but she hasn't been brought into the current story yet, so I dunno.

Mitch-105, originally a Spartan-II conscript, he vowed to fight for Halsey because he feels that he owes her for saving his life. As the years progressed, he developed feeling for Cassy-077, he wanted to protect her- but felt that she could take care of herself. He teamed up with Spartan-II Trevor-020, Cassy-077, and his younger brother, Davis-068. Trevor went MIA during a mission gone wrong on Mitch's part. Davis was killed taking out a Covenant Scarab Walker, and Cassy went off on her own missions for ONI.
During the fight on Reach, he was abrubtly awoken during recovery by Claire. She saved his life and his AI partner Alicia's. Unfortunatly he failed to save her from Anau Nadum'. And when Dr. Halsey went "missing", it felt like he lost his mother. So, as you can see, he's got a more personal reasons for fighting.
Mitchell Edwin Johnson, the ODST, he uh... Oh- his family kicked him out of his home in his late teens, so he signed up for the UNSC... more specifically the ODSTs. He vowed to protect his loved ones, no matter the cost after he escaped a covenant glassing.

Russ simply fights for humanity's survival. That's a given. There must be something more complex than that.
