This has a lot of time-bending and is based on Halo, with a bit of Warhammer 40K and Star Wars Battlefront Renegade Squadron. It is also based on 2012, the Roland Emmerich film. The basis is that 2012 comes true and the disasters nearly end the world. SPARTANBase (name comes from my Freenode channel), a PMC formed by the SPARTANs (in the Halo RP: bring yer S-II/Elite if you join please) and some Space Marines (me, Specs, Danny, Indy, Coco, and Mitch, if they sign up, can make one Space Marine) when they get sucked back in time and between universes (don't ask me), makes preparations for the end of the world-but it turns out too late. Now faced with the total destruction of civilized life and the annihilation of them, they do a truely selfless thing and attempt to construct an Ark to carry them out to the seas. The trouble is, the world is going to go into a chaotic state in two months (this is where it deviates from the film's unknown so far plot), and an organization to destroy this place and truly end the world plots against the Base. Faced with a so far unsurmountable task, the SPARTANs, Elites, Space Marines, and soldiers must work as a coherent team to finish the Ark and launch it before it gets too late to do anything about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5ybnUtEfBk Watch this to get indoctrinated in the film. Go see it, it may be the best film this year. If you sign up, bring one or two SPARTANs or Elites. No need to make Space Marines-they'll be known within each other.

Oh, the timeline will take place from December 1st, 2012 to March 1st, 2013.
And for the Space Marines, what I meant to say is that there is no need to make profiles-just post them here, and you can do it later.

Sounds interesting...so we are trying to build an Ark...could we try to repair the real Ark instead?
Oh is a Space Marine a normal marine or.....something else?
I'll bring Otto and Katar

Specs: This takes place before Halo, but after the RP (assuming nobody there dies).
And read up on the Warhammer 40K wiki about Space Marines. They're kickass.

Eh. I was thinking about it.
Either way, I'll start it right now. You can take part in it.

I don't quite understand.
So you're going to merge the Haloverse with the Warhammer universe?

Not exactly. A timewarp rips the SPARTANs and Elites from this RP and some new-made by us Space Marines into this timeline where they're in control of a PMC and then need to save themselves by making an Ark before the world goes chaotic and it becomes too late to launch.

Some friends and I played a paper and pencil RPG like this called Rifts. Basicly a bunch of dementional rifts open up everywhere and things from every story the GM can think of, (and a few they made up,) can come wandering out. We ended up fighting zombies, Hitler, demons, an evil tree, and an Egyptian god. My characters name was Silvia. She was basicly Mira, but with fancy armor and psionic powers. It was crazy, confusing, complicated, but fun. I don't think I'll join in though, at least not right away, but I might if it gets really interesting. I'll just have to see.

Indi that sounds cool..I am fine with these kinds of RPs only if the events don't really happen (ex dream) or if they don't effect the future)

More info on Rifts: palladiumbooks.com/WhatIsRifts.htmlIt could make an interesting RP itself sometime in the future. I don't know about throwing my Halo characters into it though. Things tend to get confusing when everyones charaters are from different universes.

AWESOME!! I am so totally in, and bringing Zaku 'Vudem and Taro 'Sekem.
However, no one around here has a funny character but me, so I'm bringing Rakka the Grunt with me for comic effect. =P
