Hi, everyone. My name is Sam and I live in Indianapolis, along with everyone of my relatives. I am currently a freshman in college.

I love stories and I love learning from them. I believe that everything teaches us an important lesson that helps make us who we are. Not matter what form it takes, be it book, movie, game. etc., these stories help inspire people to be who they are. And I want to make sure that people remember that so that they don't take stories to be dumb or stupid. No matter the story, be it good or bad, they are what, since the time of our forefathers and us as little kids, have helped us on the right paths in our lives and inspire so many to stand up for what they believe.

Everyone who has lived on this magnificent world has become who they are by listening to all things around them and I wish to continue that legacy. That is what I believe in anyway.

My favorite stories are: Harry Potter, Halo, Star Wars, Spyro, Sonic, Digimon, Pokemon, and so many others. I also enjoy Chaotic, Yugioh, and many other fun activities.

deviantART account:

I made this account so I could view my favorite artists on this site easy, but now I have begun thinking. I am thinking if anyone wants to draw any of the characters from my stories, they can set them up and ask me what I think of them. Just something I thought up. I don't draw, at least I don't know how to upload them onto a computer.

News: Hey everyone. Sorry if I haven't updated in like forever, but I've been really busy with college and work during the summer. But I'm writing this now and I have somethings to say. First off, I have been looking deeply into both the Star Wars and Halo universes. This has led me to have to think more on my story "To Live For Those Who Can't". I have decided to begin a rewrite of it titled "To Live For Those Who Can't V2". Now before you start complaining and asking why, I am doing this because I want the story to focus on the true time line of the Clone Wars and not mess any of it up. I will leave V1 up for anyone who wants to go back and read it, but as of now, it is canceled. Also, I have decided at some point in the future to write some Mass Effect/Transformers stories, but these probably won't happen for a while. I am also looking for a Beta Reader to read my stories before I submit them. If anyone wants to volunteer, they can email me when I figure out how to start my stories. See you later fellow readers and writers. - 9/7/11*

Character/Groups Info: "To Live For Those Who Can't V2"

The United Races Alliance(URA): It was formed in the year 2573 to bring better relationships between humanity and the former races of the Covenant. It was also formed also as a precaution should the Flood ever return, or something far worse, and explore the rest of the galaxy and discover any other races who might had been saved by the Forerunners. Another goal is to find the rest of the Halo Installations, make sure they can never fire again, and to eliminate any and all Flood forms in containment with help of monitor of said installation, if it will, and any other Forerunner ruins and devices. As of the year 2664, the URA controls over 2,500 planets. Since forming, the URA has made contact with 2 new races, the Tratedons and the Zerloxs, both of who have gladly joined the URA in peace. There is still alot of unexplored space in the Milky Way galaxy. In the year 2664, the URA send their top team,Epsilon, to explore an area of an nearby galaxy for classified reasons. The URA's flag is a picture of the Master Chief's helmet facing the front. There are stars and planets as the background with everything else in between black space. On the Chief's visor, is a picture of the Arc and a Halo,side by side. Above the helmet is these words: "We Fight, To Live" and under it are these words: "We Live, For Those Who Can't" in gold font. The URA's marines are prone to shout out, "Long Live The Mantle!"

Team Epsilon: A covert team of the URA, stationed on board the URA Avery Johnson. All of them have seen some form of combat in there years in the military. Each member is a specialist in their own area. The team works well together and each considers each member to be family and equal to them. They are also seen as family by all Spartan IVs. They have fought off minor and major criminals, terrorists, insurrectionist, rebels, and xenophobes. The team was put together in 2590 and more members were added over the years. All members of Team Epsilon kid around and hang out together in free time, but when work is needed, they will drop what every they are doing and put there game faces on. Once that is done, they become a family again and their true selves. Each member has a codename that is used to identify themselves with each other and the higher ups. The team operates under orders directly from SPECWARCOM. They are usually called "The Deathdealers" by the marines of the URA. They are sent, along with the entire crew of the URA Avery Johnson to explore a nearby galaxy. The team currently consists of: Major Champion Commander Dax, Corporal Spartan Max, Special Operations Major Caltore, Minor Alue, Major Brutus, Major Dibla, Major Mok, Minor Just Right, Major Lelek, Major Kalmar, Major Jala, and Major Jalo.

Major Champion Commander Dax "Tracker": A Kig-yar Skirmisher, born on Eayn in the year 2555. He is Team Epsilon's tracker. He has studied the behavior patterns of all living creatures so far found, and learned there smells. If it has been recorded by the URA, he can track it. There are rumors that Dax has even found creatures and plants that even the UANS has not found and recorded, and has not given the slightest thought of telling anyone but himself. Dax is always prepared for whatever environment him and his team will need to be deployed to. He has learned that to not know to environment that you are in can be dangerous, so you must be prepared, even into the unknown. He learned this after he lost his left arm to a unknown beast in the jungles of Eayn, which also gave him a x-cross scar over his right eye. He now has a robotic arm to replace it, which can quickly flip from a hand to an energy cutlass and back again. He carries on him at all times his two point-defense gauntlets, holograms, and his personal Needle Pistol and Jackal Knife. He comes prepared for his options with armor and cloaks to match any kind of environment, be it a jungle, desert, or arctic areas, to better blend in with the environment. He Has painted the feathers around his head in a rainbow of colors. He usually uses his personal Assault Needler and Magnos Beam on missions. He is the oldest member of Team Epsilon. He was in charge before Captain Max joined the team. He does not mind, he never like being in charge of the team. He has a mate, named Char'R-Lut, and has sired 15 children. His family currently lives in the jungles of Eayn, where he grew up and where his children are currently learning the same lessons he learned in his childhood. Before joining the military, he was a professional bounty hunter/mercenary for his younger years. A few years after he started a family, he stopped taking contracts and joined the military. He started out in a regular boot camp, but the military soon found out about his past experiences and asked him why the change of profession. Exactly why he joined the military is classified. He was then allowed to continue his training and a few months later, he started being sent out on missions.

Corporal Spartan Maximilian-251 "Max" Washington "Sparta": He became one of the best and the youngest of the Spartan IVs and he is the second in command of Team Epsilon. His armor is a prototype Mark X MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor which includes a Recon helmet with UA/HUL[3] attachment, a UA/Multi-Threat chest, a Commando right shoulder guard, a Operator left shoulder guard, Grenadier knee guards, a Tactical/Hard Case on his left leg, a Tactical/Soft Case on his right leg, a Tactical/TACPADUGPS(TACPAD and UGPS combinded) on his left wrist, and power dock linked to two removable energy katanas on his left wrist. His primary armor color is red, secondary is blue, with a silver visor. He usually carries with him into combat situations a Helic Rifle, a Folra Rifle, and his personal blue and green energy katanas. He also has a combat knife on his left forearm and energy knives in each wrist(think Elites' energy daggers in their wrists except they look more like human combat knives). Never call him the strongest warrior ever, if you do, you will regret it for the rest of you life. Max sees the "Chief" as the strongest warrior ever and sees that no one will ever be greater than him. Max respects the "Chief" and the legacy he left behind more than anyone else. Max still believes the "Chief" is still out there, that his luck was too great to be snuffed out like that, and that he is waiting for when he is needed once more. When and where heroes are in great need.

On missions, he carries all of this, along with another energy sword, smoke grenades, and an Radar Jammer, for quick escape. His past is mainly unknown and he does not like to talk about it that often. His fellow members of Team Epsilon don't mind, for a common motto of theirs is: "What ever the past, we are who we are now." He perfers to fight his opponents head on and not to be held back. He will only use sneak attacks and other dishonorable tatics if and only if there is no other choice. What he seeks most in the universe is a mate to spend his life with happly and sire many children who can look upon him with pride and honor. As of yet, he has not found that mate.

When she was born, Thel immediately saw that she could and would become an expert swordswoman. He decided to train her himself and not one of her uncles. Thel would later reveal who she was to him and she said she already knew. Later when she was ten, Thel took her to Earth to train in martial arts and other sword styles. As Thel spent more time on Earth, he grew to like the way the humans of old had a honor code and the way they fought. Alue would spend five years training in the ways of ancient man and became one of the greatest martial artists to be seen since the days of old. Her armor is that of any common minor, except, she has runes engraved into it to honor her father, and it is the color olive green and gold, to honor the "Spartan", for her father would always tell her he would never meet a warrior as mighty as him again. She is Team Epsilon's martial arts expert. She carries with her into battle two energy swords, a personal energy stave, and a steel katana. Her energy stave has a energy blade on each end, one being a smaller version of an energy sword and the other being an double bladed scythe. The staff is considered a Triple Staff, in which it is divided into three sections with two sections linked to a middle section by way of metal chains. Her katana, energy swords, and staff were both personally forged by her own hands and she had OAI help her personally input the technological parts for them. All of these weapons were made of a Forerunner metal that is both light and durable. The metal will not even melt in the slighest if it is struck by an energy blade. Her katana has the number 117 MIA engraved onto both sides of the blade, shortly before the blade meets its guard. The katana's guard is made of the same metal and takes the shape of the Ark. At the end of the katana's handle is a string of beads attached to it, with them ending with an ancient human coin.

Major Brutus "Heracles": A Jiralhanae, born on Doisac in the year 2580. Among his clan, he was one of the least violent. But once you got him angry, he would go on a madden rampage that would scare even a charging Chieftain to stop in there charge.

His father wields the Fist of Rukt, making him the High Chieftain of the Jiralhanae and an important member of the URA Species Senate. When he is ready, Brutus will challenge his father for the position and if and only if he defeats him, he will claim the Fist, his father's position on the Species Senate, and his own Chieftain armor. He is in no rush, he will challenge him when he feels like it. Many believe he is ready and can defeat his father, even his father believes it and is awaiting for the day he can retire from politics and just be a old warrior with great stories of war to tell future generations of.

Major Dibla "Fly": A Yanme'e, born on Palamok in the year 2592. She is a unmutual Yanme'e and as such, is more independent, intelligent, and emotional than other Yanme'e.

She always carries with her a Plasma Needler and a Double Barrel Needle Pistol. She is Team Epsilon's scout and hacker. She is a silent flier and can get to places easy and quicker than others. She can then inform her team of important targets and help them get into position much quicker, with no one finding out about the movements until its too late. She can also break through a computer's firewalls and gain access to all of its information within a matter of seconds. She also carries around a voice translator on her wrist that allows her to speak and her voice to be translated to English for everyone to hear.

Major Mok "Bang": A Kig-yar, born on Eayn in the year 2579. He is Team Epsilon's sniper. He wears an custom made armor that is a combination of Elite and ODST armor, with a shielding system, that is a dark brown color. He wears a helmet that covers the sides and the top of his head, with a Jackal scope attachment on the right side of it for him to target with. His face is too long for a helmet to cover his entire face, so he has to rely on no one getting a direct hit at his face. The top of his helmet has been removed so that his quills come up straight and tall. He usually carries with him his energy gauntlet, his personal Plasma Magnum and his Sentinel Rifle. Sometimes, when he is in a very good mood, he will bring along a classic Beam Rifle that his grandfather used in the Human-Covenant War to first snipe human enemies and then later save human hostages from terrorists. His family comes from a long line of pirate captains and every family member was taught to respect their way of pirating. To show honor, and never steal from the poor and weak. But from the evil and unjust. When the Human-Covenant War began, Mok's grandfather knew something was wrong. He suspected that Truth was hiding something, so he kept an eye out on him and the other Prophets. His suspicions came to be and when the Prophets removed the Elites from their positions, he knew what he had to do. He called for all his kin to side with the Elites when the time came, and when it did, all of his kin sided with the Elites and fought side by side with them and the humans. Mok's clan is one of the few Kig-yar clans that is respected among the Elites and the humans because of this and their sense of honor, unseen in many Kig-yar. And this has been passed down to Mok, along with his family's ancient totem, which hangs around his neck, the sign that he is the rightful heir to his clan and one day will succeed his father as clan chief. Whenever he confronts his father, his father complains about Mok not finding a mate and starting a family himself. Mok says that he is just waiting for the right one.
