Description
Thats right guys, in a year and a half Colorado's changed 7 times, and here he is again and as usual I'm using Tuckapenguin's handy guidelines.

Setting: Pre and Post Project Freelancer, Post Revelation to current

Name: Mathew “Matt”

Born: 07/01/2518

Alias: Agent Colorado

Nationality: Australian/American, Mum was Australian and Dad was American

Appearance: 5ft 11in, thin build, pale, scarred, brown hair, blue eyes, slight limp in left leg

Recruitment into Project Freelancer:

I was “A simpler option than the other candidate” according to the Director ‘cause when Eridanus II – my real home - was glassed by the Covenant and anyone who would’ve noticed my disappearance would’ve thought that I died before I was supposedly evacuated. The reality is that a grey Pelican dropship landed in the intersection where everything had passed and the crew claimed to be with the UNSC and because of the situation I didn’t question them and hopped on board and later landed with Mother Of Invention, that’s when I found out who the really where. As far as I know no one else in Elysium City survived. So I really didn’t have anywhere else to go and I 'volunteered' for Project Freelancer, which I’m guessing is what the Director planned all along.

Personality: I like to think that I’m approachable but I’ve had people tell me I’m “really sarcastic” or something similar to that, but I'm not really like that. To tell you the truth before the whole AI thing I was probably the most positive person in the Project but things change apparently. I mean I’m not as happy as I used to be but I’m still able to make friends and get along with people. There is one thing that pisses me off though, I hate it when I have to stand next to a woman who’s taller than me so o’course South takes pleasure in standing around me at meetings and mission briefs. Such a bitch…

Relationships: Well at the start of it all I was very shy, didn’t have any friends but as time went on I decided to try and be happy about what I had, became an optimist really, that’s mainly York’s doing but when I met Michigan, well hah that was probably the best thing that ever happened. Yeah we love each other there’s no shame in that, she even sat through a month of me being out of action! But uh.... overall we get along very well, and "somehow" manage to be in the mess hall or the armoury at the same times each day, funny that. Yeah we do had a few arguments and things like that, but who doesn't? Usually its over petty shit like who uses the bathroom first or gets to have the shotgun or whatever, you know? random crap. But we still love each other, pretty much everyone else in the project knows and if they don't Penn's sure to point it out to them with a big "Col loves Michigan!" in the mess hall.

Relations with other women in the Project? Uh yeah 479er and I get along alright, although she thinks I'm trying to take her job. Indiana’s ok as well –as long as she’s not plastered- and Delaware and Oregon and all of those girls are good as well. The guys? Well yeah, North’s always a listening ear when I bitch about the new assfuck of a training schedule, Penn’s a cocky asshole who just wants you to realise he's better than you and so on and so forth. Out of all of them its Wyoming that bugs me, he and Gamma were the worst to hang around, all their bloody knock knock jokes.

Specialisation: I’m an Engineer... that means I solve practical problems. Anything that has a battery in it, I fix cars and planes and all other technological objects. Although I’m all for fixing stuff in the middle of a fight but I need some decent cover fire, but you see that’s a rarity because I seem to be the only one who uses an automatic weapon. Yeah I’ve had my fair share of screw-ups but I’ve had some great successes, like an in-flight repair and the invention of my sentry gun! He stands about 2 feet tall, and fires a 40mm cannon round every half a second, I can also remotely control him! pretty cool huh?

Armour: Pretty standard, Mk VI, blue and white. The only thing that’s different is the two knife sheathes concealed in the thigh armour. Apart from that its pretty much normal.

Armour Enhancement: Uh, it’s pretty cool basically what it does is it allows me to survive larger injuries. It’s also pretty hard to steal. See the actual conduits and parts that make it work aren’t in a box or whatever, they’re actually weaved into the body glove that I wear under my armour. I first got it about a week after I came out of my coma, see my second mission for Project Freelancer didn’t really go to plan, the warthog crashed and I went through the windshield and had major internal bleeding so the Medics on Mother Of Invention put me in a medically induced coma for a month. So yeah it stops me from dying as easily.

AI: Zeta, he’s a snarky little shit most of the time, the kinda person you just don't want to be around. He makes this really annoying sound when he comes online.He’s supposed to be the tactical fragment of the lot but from a few conversations with Delta I’ve figured out that Zeta’s more a sub form of D than he is an individual personality, probably why he's so pissy all the time. In a nutshell Zeta’s an asshole who’s given me more mental trauma than I can handle and is the sole reason for my insomnia. Little yellow motherfucker.

Preferred weapons and fighting techniques: Uh, automatic weapons like my two SMGs and my special Assault Rifle, 60 round mag with higher rate of fire. Also a pair of knives, but their just a redundancy. I also use speed and agility as well, freestyle parkour sorta shit, jumping off of walls and sliding under stuff.

Theme Songs: Trocadero, Flying by Wire: Faraway

Quotes:

42, thats the answer. Now go away.

I don’t get payed overtime so lets make this quick.

I’m an Engineer.

Nope.

“He’s got so many scars you’d think he slept on broken glass.” – Agent Washington.

“Col always has that bushy mane and those world weary eyes as well as slumped shoulders even though he's one of the younger Freelancers.” – Agent Indiana.

“He’s the kinda guy you want to have in the foxhole next to yours, but you’d never introduce him to your family.” – Agent Arizona

FYI: Zeta makes the active camouflage pickup sound from halo 1 when he comes online.

Heres to another round of blue and white goodness.

Yes I don't normally draw in that amount of detail but this is the main picture I'll be showing off at the Gold Coast Supanova in April, join me won't you?
