Heya guys, just thought I would post something along the lines of an update for the Machinima I want to start. At the moment I need voice actors more than anything, I have people that can do the model acting parts ^^.
What I am basically going to offer up here is a choice of 3 characters that will be a part of a 'squad' of sorts, they are not the only people there's a couple more but those are reserved for the model actors ^^.
The 3 characters are up for grabs basically to anybody who wants to be a voice actor and perform other helpful tasks along the course of this project.
oh, and if you have questions you can look up the Wikipedia page for the universe here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_%28series%29
An FYI about the numbers in the Spartans names, for those who aren't familiar, Spartans were mostly abducted children who lived out the lives to become perfect soldiers (all the while clones were left in their place to die). Each Spartan was designated under their original first name and a number corresponding with their recruitment. IDK if the Wiki will say that :P.
If anybody has suggestions I am happy to hear them D:

Name: Aiton (Aye-ton) 390
Nick Name: Bait
Specialties: Automatic Weapons and Vehicles
Nick Name Story: On one of his first missions he was a part of what some call a "Hazzing Ritual", in which his fellow squad-mates told him to run off with a fake flag in the opposite direction of their target while they took the real one to complete the mission. The resulting incident could best be discribed in his own words: "OH GAWD, WHY!!!???", this is the phrase he screamed out-loud as several platoons of Brutes and Jackals chased him down a hillside... accompanied by a Wraith.
The squad that used his as bait was later court marshaled for knowingly sending a team-mate into enemy hands. Unfortunately the name 'Bait' stuck with 390 as he was transfered over to his new squad, all members of which heard of the incident.
Name: Zaden (Zay-den) 459
Nick Name: Trapper
Specialties: Explosives and Defense
Nick Name Story: There was an incident involving high explosives, in which 459 had not only gained his nick name, but also lost his right arm. He was the leader of a 4-man squad previously, in which he was given a mission to retrieve data from a Covenant outpost. The mission was simple: get in, grab the data, get out (with some impromptu explosions if desired); unfortunately, the report did not mention Brutes would be in the compound. 459 was forced to square off against 5 Brutes alone while the rest of his team dragged an injured soldier back to their escape vehicle. In a bold and dangerous maneuver he went hand to hand with a Brute Chieftain, in which his right arm was broken and almost unusable, the spar ended with him taking a plasma grenade and thrusting it into the Chieftain's mouth with his right hand but he could not pull away in time. He hastily placed a Drop Shield that protected all of his body but the arm from the shoulder down, the explosion was massively enhanced by flammable chemicals that had 'accidentally' leaked out during the spar; a last ditch effort to guarantee his teams' safe return. When the smoke cleared the entire compound was on fire, all of the brutes were dead and 459 lay unconscious with his right shoulder bleeding out; his arm gone. His team hurried to bring him back to a medical station where 459 was fitted with a prosthetic, which he augmented with 2 tiny cannons that could fire a round similar to a Magnum. After he had healed he was reassigned, but word had gotten around of how he had laid such a deadly trap and survived, thus giving him the name Trapper.
So yeah, the Machinima will also include a type of story arch as well as little snippets of random junk. I am hoping I can get some help from you guys :D
Name: Bevon (Bev-on) 246
Nick Name: Stat
Specialties: Logistics and Long-distance Firearms
Nick Name Story: 246's story is mostly uninteresting, he was like any other Spartan for a considerable amount of time. Strong, agile, intelligent and cunning, all characteristics of a perfect Spartan. There was one odd development when his brain was augmented however, he gained an amazing insight into using numbers to decide every action he made. Statistics for how long it would take for him to link up with his team before a mission, time charts of his past mission success to determine further success. It was this nervous habit that gained him the nick name Stat, short for Statistics.
Not long after he was given the title, 246 quickly became the primary consultant of his squad leader on every matter to do with mission success. Unfortunately he was captured by a squad of Elites, they attempted to pry information from him through means of torture. During his interrogation, 246 offered only small bits of information, none of which involved the UNCS operations or the Spartan project, all he gave were randomized lists of numbers and statistics, most of which crashed computer terminals when entered in to locate certain areas of space. With all of their servers down the Elites were forced to retreat, leaving behind a Spartan babbling on about leaf to bark ratios of trees.
Certainly an interesting case in which a Spartan was taken hostage by the Covenant.
