------------------------- PHOENIX SEVEN SYNOPSIS ------------------------- In this alternate timeline of the Halo universe, Reach falls in 2541, and along with it, the last of the SPARTAN-IIs. The Master Chief is defeated at the hands of Field Marshall Kano 'Gorramee, who becomes hailed as a holy hero to the Covenant, branded with the name “Demonslayer”.He is soon endowed with the Fleet of Rightful Indignation. Over the next year, something has happened to Kano, and has supposedly taken his fleet on a mission to destroy the next human colony in line for destruction, Rhodes. Unbeknownst to most of the crew and the rest of the Covenant, Kano, Commander Thel 'Vadam, and a select few subordinates have gone rogue, and plan on locating something said to be on Rhodes that can help liberate his species from the Prophets. On the human side of things, with the last SPARTAN-II KIA, the Office of Naval Intelligence has begun to rely on the SPARTAN-IIIs, with one group above all. Known as ROYAL Team, consisting of proteges of SPARTAN A027-Jacob, they are sent to help defend Rhodes while its civilian population is being evacuated. In Kano's fleet, rumors are beginning to spread about their leader's real intention, sowing substantial discontent in some groups. He is unaware of how serious the situation is, being distracted by confirmation that what he is looking for is indeed on Rhodes. But it appears that the secretive ONI also knows of the item, and has stationed extremely heavy resistance around much of the planet's northern hemisphere, attempting to defend the icy Point Stratton, where it is supposedly located. Soon this becomes a race against time between Royal team and the Demonslayer to reach Point Stratton, and discover a secret that will shape the fate of Rhodes, and the future of the entire galaxy... ------------------------- ABOUT ------------------------- I used to work on an older comic, which I called Outbreak. I used Halo 3 for it, but it ultimately ended up a failure when I became disappointed at my lack of planning for it. I've been working on this comic since around early 2011, after the idea sprung up once Halo: Reach was released, and to this day continue editing and shaping up the story, Although there is a clear endgame I'm trying to reach toward, and several major plot points to serve as anchors so I don't stray too far into incoherence. It's just as much as me writing a story as it is me trying to get better at writing an ongoing work of fiction, so another Outbreak doesn't happen in the future. I use the Halo Waypoint Fileshare system on its website to retrieve my screenshots from ingame, and the tools of the trade to get them looking how they do on page is usually Photoshop CS4. Updates are intermittent, but I try my best to not let more than 2 weeks go by without a new page. It ALL centers around volunteer work. I have only a handful of people that are able and willing to help me, but not everyone has the luxury of being on at the same time, which contributes the bulk of the delays. I'm not going to beg, but if you are interested in helping me, I can be reached at ahowton92@hotmail.com, XBL Gamertag: Sparkie92, or Andrew Kleiner on Halosprites Forums. -There is an armorsets txt file in this same folder that tells you the armors you would need to help me.
