Character Information ;
Name: Chief Warrant Officer Jorge-052 "Noble Five"
Name of Canon: Halo
Canon/AU/Other Game CR: Canon
Reference: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Jorge-052
Canon Point: Post-death
Setting:

Welcome to the future. Mankind has come into contact with a hostile group of alien races, known as the Covenant, united under a single religious doctrine. They worship an ancient race of hyper-advanced aliens known as the Forerunners, a species which came into contact with an extremely virulent parasitic life form known as the Flood. When the Flood began to overwhelm the Forerunners, the Forerunners constructed a number of mega-structures as fail safes to prevent their spread, such as the Halos, and the Line Installations.

Jorge is from a point in Haloverse history where the war has been going on for many years now. The SPARTAN-IIs are a group of super soldiers raised to be the perfect soldiers, given top of the line armor and a vast number of physical and genetic augmentations to perfect their minds and bodies to make them into living weapons to fight the Covenant. Jorge is one of the candidates who did not 'wash out' during this process. At the point he is from, the Covenant have begun making more aggressive pushes into human territory, viciously annihilating their colonies and glassing the planets. Glassing is a processes which renders the planets completely uninhabitable, destroying any life on the surface.

Reach is one of the closest colonies to Earth, and a major human stronghold--as well as the birthplace of several SPARTANs, including Jorge. If the colony falls, there will be little standing between Earth and the approaching Covenant forces.

Personality:

Jorge? Yeah, he's a pretty chill guy. It wouldn't be quite right to call him a gentle giant--in the hectic environment of battle he can be downright scary bananas. As big as he is, and with the sort of massive weaponry and power armor he usually has, he's extremely thoughtful regarding his actions and actual physical activities. This could be in theory applied to all SPARTAN-IIs, but in Jorge's case it applies even more so. That said, he's still huge and intimidating. He's certainly not shy, and can be quite bold with his actions and opinions--a trait which complements the personalities of his team mates. Dealing with civilians is not his strong point, but compared to the rest of his team he might as well be a goddamn negotiator. He tends to be a little too forward, and his questions come off a little too much like an interrogation. He does try, though, he just isn't terribly good at it. Too bad, since he's actually rather fond of civvies. He's a pretty outgoing guy, quite willing to share his opinions with those around him (unless you happen to be Doc Halsey, in which case he actually becomes rather meek).

Like all SPARTAN-IIs, Jorge was raised into the role of super soldier. SPARTANs were always meant to be more like living weapons than soldiers, and his early years were spent learning just what they were fighting for and why. He knows how important the SPARTANs are to the human forces, and that he and his brothers and sisters are expected to give their lives for the cause, without hesitation, at a moments notice. Jorge has personally sacrificed his life in the name of the mission, a choice is made with no outward hesitation or cowardice. It was just something he had to do, part of the job description.

Family ties are an important part of his life, even if his brothers and sisters aren't related to him by blood. He grew up with the other SPARTAN-IIs under the direction of Doctor Halsey--it can be argued that she is something of a motherly figure to him and his siblings, even if her involvement was relatively limited (and her attention focused on a few of his ~more famous~ siblings). He views her, and all his siblings, with a sort of distant warmth. After the mission and his duty, they take priority in his life.

Noble team is more or less a surrogate family to him. While he was not raised with the SPARTAN-IIIs--he's quite a bit older--and he stands head and shoulders above them in stature, they are as good a team as he could hope for. Aside from a few comments here and there (sup Emile) he gets along with them on a personal level, and on a professional level there's no question that he respects and trusts the abilities of the IIIs he works with. While he is visually an outsider, being larger, older, and from a different breed of SPARTAN, in the field he feels as much a part of the team as if he were working with a team of IIs.

Abilities and Weaknesses:

As a SPARTAN-II, Jorge has the whole super soldier package: greatly accelerated speed, strength, reflexes, and intelligence. Add to that a set of armor which might as well be a personal battleship, complete with regenerating shielding and several layers of special armor, and he's a formidable opponent on the battlefield. He is also able to form a neural link with AI thanks to a slot in his neck.

On a more personal level, Jorge's specialization is heavy weaponry. The big man on the team, his usual load-out is what is essentially a personal machine gun turret. While he is not hampered as greatly as the rest of his team would be, he's still slowed down by the enormous weapon. He's just too big to be as fast or agile as the rest of Noble Team--although his strength and stamina balance this out excellently.

Inventory:

+ 1x MJOLNIR MK V armor + base suit (customized G variant helmet)
+ 1x Armor Lock
+ 1x Magnum (loaded, 1 spare magazine)
+ 1x AR (loaded, 1 spare magazine)
+ 1x machine gun (half empty)
- 1x dog tags

Appearance:

As far as SPARTAN-II's go, Jorge isn't that unique. Standing at 7'4" without his armor and 320 lbs, he's fairly average sized by their standards. His hair is short brown and graying, with light eyes and neatly groomed mustache and stubble.

His armor is heavily customized, with a mishmash of Grenadier variant pieces mixed with his MK V MJOLNIR, and a rather jumbled paint job.

Age: 41

Log Sample:

Compared to the mess of light and sound and metal and confusion that had accompanied the explosion, falling was relatively serene. Even hitting the ground seemed calm, although the entire process was distant and muted--he was only conscious long enough to realize he was badly hurt, but still alive, before he blacked out.

That had been several hours ago. Maybe. After what he'd seen of his surroundings, Jorge wasn't particularly sure he trusted the mission clock. He was currently standing in what appeared to be a deserted city street with only a single service robot methodically sweeping the sidewalk to keep him company. He ignored it. What he was more interested in was the total lack of familiarity in the city--last time he'd been sure of his location he'd been in orbit over Reach, and this was no city of Reach that he could recognize. The architecture at least appeared to be human, although the style was somewhat unfamiliar. It didn't help that his systems couldn't place him anywhere on a map.

Or pick up any signals from the rest of Noble team.

Despite the gut feeling that it was useless, he cycled through all their usual frequencies. They were all dead. Not even a crackle of static. That meant he was either too far, completely out of range of the human communications, or... Or what?

He'd found the public network earlier--it would have been unthinkable for a SPARTAN not to notice any new additions to their MJOLNIR--but only now did he investigate the posting functions. The interface was fairly straight forward, but he still found himself wishing Kat was there. Unfamiliar tech was really more her thing. Wherever he was looked human enough, but given the sheer strangeness of the situation he couldn't be sure the additions weren't plugged directly into Covenant comms. Wasn't sure he could trust it. Jorge spent the next few moments debating what to do, double checking that he'd exhausted all his previous options, before he rolled his shoulders and reluctantly opened the posting functions.
