Other characters played here: Epsilon
Age: 28
IC INFO
Name: Noble Six, also known as SPARTAN-B312
Native, OU, or AU: OU
Canon (if applicable): Halo Reach
Character journal used:lonenoble
Reference (if applicable): Noble Six (Note: The character canonly is kind of a blank slate on appearance and all, and they pretty much avoided putting a canon gender anywhere.)
Canon point (if applicable): Lone Wolf (The post campaign ending level of Reach. I'm taking her from the earlier portion of it before her armor's completely wrecked and she's out of ammo. She's going to be injured with armor damage, but she'll still have the helmet)
Personality: Noble Six, also known as SPARTAN-B312, is a highly independent person, well known for her lone wolf tendencies and efficiency on the battlefield. However, there's a lot more to the person beneath that, as can be seen throughout the Reach campaign. While her past and her reputation might make it seem likely that she'd be a bad fit for a team like Noble, in fact the opposite is the truth. She's surprisingly social and caring among allies. Six has courage and devotion to duty to the point of willingly sacrificing herself to make sure it all works out.
On joining Noble, it was made immediately clear by Carter, Noble Leader, that the majority of the group didn't exactly want a replacement, and that she might have some issues, but time and working together ends up changing that. In fact, Six seems to get along quite well with the others in Noble in the missions they end being assigned to throughout the Reach Campaign. It especially appears that she was fairly close to Noble Five, to the point where she didn't want to let him do it when he made the choice to sacrifice himself to destroy a Covenant Corvette. She just had the choice taken away because he literally picked her up and threw her out of the ship.
Noble Six is devoted to accomplishing her missions and completing orders, and she can and be completely ruthless if necessary. This is a person that can both make entire militia groups vanish and will fight to protect her team to the point of risking her life for them. Six also knows her duties to others, even random civilians, and will do her best to protect them. As much a lone wolf as she's been, she's also not unused to dealing with non Spartan UNSC personnel.
Back story: A lot of Noble Six's earliest history really isn't known. What we know for sure is that she was an orphan of the human war against the Covenant. Her homeworld and her family were destroyed in a Covenant glassing by many other children. By that point in the war, humanity was getting desperate. The earlier Spartan-II project had been successful, so they had chosen to repeat it, using volunteers in the form of war orphans. These children were offered a chance at revenge and once put through grueling training, became the Spartan-IIIs. SPARTAN-B312, later, known as Noble Six, was from the second group of Spartan-IIIs, known as Beta company. However, SPARTAN-B312 was considered too valuable by her superiors to throw away in a large-scale suicide mission like the Alpha's were. She was one of a few to escape that fate.
Before Reach, Six was used as an assassin by her superior, earning her reputation for being a lone wolf and a "hyper-lethal vector". Entire militia groups were wiped out at her hands. She was only assigned to Noble as a replacement with great reluctance, as her superior was reluctant to give up his private grim reaper.
Six joined Noble, working her way into the group and fighting against the Covenant in a number of missions on Reach. But it wasn't to last, and the casualties of the entire campaign would end up extensive among Noble. Eventually, as Operation: UPPERCUT, Six and Jorge were sent to try to destroy a Covenant Corvette. A failed detonator on the bomb that was supposed the Corvette resulted in the first death among Noble. Jorge gave Six his dog tags and literally threw her out of the ship to make sure that she survived to go back to Noble. And that was just the first death of a team member she saw on this mission.
It took some time for Six to be reunited with Noble, and she assisted in the evacuation of New Alexandria on her way back. In spite of everything that might be expected, she worked well with the normal soldiers to try to rescue civilians. It wasn't always successful, but Six wouldn't stop trying in spite of the Covenant. It's her duty to protect humanity.
Not long after the remaining team was reunited, Kat was killed by a Covenant sniper with Six being the one to catch her body and haul it to the bunker they were running to at the time, where the group spent several days with Kat's body. Even though there was no saving her, Six still insisted on pulling the body into the shelter. Even after the short time they'd been a team, she'd developed strong ties to give her dead teammate that respect.
From there, they headed to a torch and burn operation that was nothing more than an excuse to return Noble to pick up what supposed to be the best hope for humanity. An AI named Cortana that had chosen Six to be her courier. That AI contained the most powerful weapon the human race had against the threat. Information.
In transit to the shipyards to get the AI to safety, there was another loss. Noble One sacrificed himself to take out an obstacle between them and the shipyards they needed to get the AI to. Another painful loss, one that she wasn't going to forget, or let be in vain. He told her the AI had chosen right. She was going to live up to that--which she and Emile managed, getting the AI to the Pillar of Autumn, though Emile went down to a group of Zealots manning the gun to help clear the area for the AI to be picked up. Seeing that, Six couldn't have taken the chance for failure.
In the end, Six makes a choice that truly shows her courage and her loyalties. All the others from the team are gone. She made the choice to sacrifice herself to make sure all the sacrifices weren't in vain. Humanity's best hope needed to get off the planet. If her life was the price to get it to safety? It was a price she'd happily pay, as all but one of her team had already done.
Once the Pillar was gone, she was alone, surrounded by enemies. All she really could do was try to survive, but as time went on, they wore her down and finally, a group of elites took her down.
