405th Outlander Battalion Definitive Canon

[Survivor11]

You know, the whole Main Villain thing being taken is kind of sad for me, because I don't really have any other ideas on what to do.

Time to brainstorm.

405th Gregor isn't technically actually a Spartan, subtly shown in my "The Call of Memory" post by the fact that the faded memory of his beginnings show him in normal explorative gear. He wears Spartan armor that he scrapped together while trapped with the 405th, but he never got the physical enhancements they did. He started out as sort of an inventor with a bit of combative background.

To answer your question from the Gallery topic, Gregor actually is canon. I thought he was a Spartan at first, so I had to make an exception to my 1 Spartan only rule to make him canon. By the way, he actually is in the timeline of important events on [REDACTED], He shows up on August 15th, 2559, and leaves some time before September 30th, 2559 after fixing the his specific Starlight Key. He returns to the story after that point at _____, depending on how you decide to write him.

Also, how do you want to do the Starlight Keys in the overall story? Your character has one, the main villain has one, and I have another currently unnamed character that I need to prototype who has one. Did Gregor invent them or did he find a way to jump dimensions and discovered his key during his travels?

Yeah, I assumed that was why he was listed under not canon. As for the Starlight Keys, the actual key is a Crystalline orb crafted by the Starscape Architect, another of my customs and the creator of the Starscape. Gregor just invented the device that encases the key that makes it more efficient. My intention in the beginning was to only have one, but even before you made your character with one, I actually am planning another character with one, so there will definitely be multiple, but not many.

So to explain why the Annihilator has one, let's just say he found the design after travelling to Gregor's home dimension.

Yeah, I'm going to have one more character with a key as well. I haven't decided if he will be a hero or a villain yet, but I'm leaning towards chaotic neutral (If you play D&D)

1. If you have seen the 405th Gregor post from SpartanGregor113, the 405th portal is a beefier version of that with room for a couple of those odd power sources (portrayed by glowsticks) on either side. (I'll see if I can build one up in the next couple of days). The portal room is located behind one of the collapsed structures in the underground warehouse that Doc, Specialist Hooke, and the unnamed Marine found, so it's covered in rubble and only lit by some portable floodlights at the front of the room, by the doorway to the rest of the warehouse. The portal sits at the back of the room, damaged, but repaired just enough by the Riftward Traveler to be functional again. Can you tell by my description that I play D&D?

2. Depends on the branch of the 405th. The 405th are spread out over the planet and communication is down until the planetary communications relay is repaired, so most of the 405th is in the dark about the odd goings on at the New Orion Research Outpost. The 405th has five major subgroups, and only the one based in New Orion know about the portal. That's the group with Lt. Heston, Doc, and Hooke. That's also the smallest segment of the 405th, with 45 active soldiers. They have already had people come through the portal though (Gregor, three Guardians, A small squad of Joint Task Force Sierra Elites and Marines, and a couple of Pilots with their Titans). If another person showed up to the New Orion 405th, it would be more of an aggressive Friend-or-Foe reaction. I don't know how the non-New Orion 405th would react. If the traveler appeared Human, it probably wouldn't end badly?

1. Thanks. I needed in depth due to the fact that I’m not doing pictures. I play a tabletop as well so I understand. XD

2. Thanks. I'm going to use another portal, so I don't have to mess with your characters. ;)

Nigel exited the portal, and barely got his helmet off before he vomited on the floor. He felt as if someone had turned him inside out, and then force fed him his own organs. He wiped his mouth, and oriented himself with the room. The golden armored ODST saw to large, strange power sources, and two scared looking marines. Nigel noticed that they were in a large cavern-like area. He looked at the two marines and waved, “Uh… hey boys!” The marines backed up a couple paces and raised their rifles, “Get back!”
“Huh,” Nigel mused, “Looks like when you activated your portal, it redirected me from the original destination.” The more frightened marine blurted out, “We didn’t think anything would happen! We just thought that maybe this would give us a new source of power!”
The other marine aimed his gun again threateningly, “Shut up Mack! Now you, you’re an ODST right?” Nigel chuckled and stepped forward a little, “In the loosest definition of the term. I actually work for ONI, and I’m from another dimension.” The two marines reacted completely different,
Mack lowered his gun a little and said, “Really?!”
The other marine snorted, “Bull!”
Nigel gave the second marine an aggravated look, “Really? A guy walks out of a portal, powered by a mysterious object, and you’re thinking other dimensions are far-fetched? I thought you guys had met a traveler before!” Mack looked at his partner, “We knew that some weird stuff was going down in New Orion, Dan. This might be that weird stuff!” Nigel stepped forward again. Dan raised his rifle again, “If you take one more step towards us, I’ll shoot!” Nigel opened his arms, as if to welcome it, “Go ahead, do it! I dare you!” Nigel began to walk forward so quickly, that it caught Dan off guard. Nigel kept walking until the barrel of Dan’s AR was right between Nigel’s eyes. In a low tone, that was almost a whisper, Nigel said to him, “I am cursed with immortality. I was born in the year 1910. I have been through many wars, and killed more men and women than I can count. I have watched friends and loved ones whither and die, while I continue to exist. If you can kill me right now, I would welcome it.” Mack and Dan were speechless. The sheer emotion that this man had just released had left them unable to move. A few more seconds passed, and Nigel repeated in a calmer tone, “Shoot me.”
Dan stood still for another few seconds, then lowered his gun. “Ok sir. You’ve convinced me. No need to do anything drastic,” he said. Nigel cracked his dorky smile, “Fantastic!” He jogged back to the portal and grabbed his helmet. Nigel then held up his hand like Spock, and said, “Take me to your leader!”

What is it with this trend?

I know of 3. Survivor9, Mysterious Stranger, and an incarnation of Nigel. Not everyone, just these 3. Unless you are referring to some of your incarnations.

I can't help the fact that you elevate some of your characters to g0d status.

Uh... There's literally just the Critisizer for me, Survivor ain't unkillable.
Then there's Nigel, Megapand25, Joe Wick, mysterious stranger... That's off the top of my head.

It's a popular character developer. Like Nigel said, "Shoot me." XD

I suppose I'm obsolete then.
