Spartan Numbers

Hey all of the 405th, I have a quick question:

I was wondering if there is anywhere on the forums that keeps track of what numbers are used for Spartans. Now, I realize this is next to impossible to do because of all the un-posted builds on this site, and builds on other possible sites. But I feel it would be fun to archive those that are used by the 405th. It doesn't have to be followed by all, but for those (like me) who want to add that extra unique feel to their Spartan armour (even though it might not be fully unique in that sense), I think it might be cool.

Let me know what you think, and if you want, post your numbers here.

I've chosen 119 (Date of birth, 10/19, got rid of the zero.) unless it's been claimed already.

Thanks guys and gals


Also, if this is the wrong forum, Mods, feel free to move it. I thought general discussion, but this is sort of build related, so I put it here.


All right, as per request, here is the list. Any that I put pending after, require you to contact me, because they have been taken or multiple numbers were posted. Please PM me for any changes you would like to make. Also, just because it says pending, or if a number you like is chosen, this doesn't mean you have to find a new number, just change the letter prefix.

I went with my original plan of organisation with the numbers and letters, so please don't be mad, I can change it if you want me to.

Again, I would like to emphasize, this is NOT a rule/number selection method set in stone. Use what you want.

I haven't seen anything like that anywhere but I'm s-101!

I have not seen that either, it would be cool though something simular to the 501st legion number system they have in place for their troops.

Mine is S-088

Sort've related - has anybody identified the font used for armor ID numbers?

I call 186! By the way this is Arial Black, It looks kind of like the 405th logo

We really should have a record of everyone's Spartan IDs.

-Ryan M-82

I have 234. Its already put on the armor.

I have:
Ferret-304 (wink wink... See what I did there?)

Anyone happen to have a list of the serial numbers of the Spartans already in existence? I mean for instance we know Chief is S-117, so if we could get a list of all the other known Spartan serial numbers to start we would know which ones are still open for the 405th. This article does have quite a few of the known service numbers, and according to it, Chainsaw Ninja's number belongs to Victor 101, Team Black sniper. Obi-Jeff, 088 would be James 088, apparently known for dual-wielding assault rifles, former member of Brass Team before being re-assigned to lead Bronze Team in the defense of Reach, and died on an Elite's energy sword while defending the Orbital Defense Generator. As for 119, a Bing search came back with this fan-fiction with the Spartan David 119.

Hadn't given much thought to a serial number outside of needing one for the Halo 3 callsign. For that, I went with Z86. The other games let us choose any 4 letters or numbers, so I've just been using ZAFF as my call-sign. Not really sure what I'd settle on for a serial number, but would probably be either the Z86 or a derivative of it, like Z086, Z286, or just Spartan 286. So far none of those have been used before. Yea, heck with it. I'll go with 286. Always so indecisive about these things. I change my Spartan's armor just about every time I play Halo, might as well at least keep the number the same. lol.

Mine is 073

This actually sounds like a really fun idea!

I Call myself 429

Spartan IV, 2613... Alive in cryo.

(unless somebody else wants it. I'm willing to change)

ALSO. TOTALLY DOWN FOR THAT NUMBER CLASS THING

EDIT: Can we actually get that thing up and running? I've got a pretty good system in mind. Any help will be given.

The others (186, 82,304 and 234) don't seem to be taken, but sorry to say, 073 belongs to a Spartan that died due to his body rejecting the augmentation process. Man, talk about bad luck. Other Spartans can be remembered for dying in battle, this guy dies of uncontrollable muscle spasms during the augmentation process. Little sidenote, though, his death was witnessed by John 117.

Edit: 429 doesn't seem to be used in-canon either.

For those who have overlapping tags, ever consider a (2) or (B) character who is the second generation of that character?

If the previous Spartan is dead, they could be replaced. I don't know the story well enough however, and the UNSC may not do this. If they don't, well... shame. all those new Spartans might need to change!

EDIT: My tag changed to L429 for uniqueness. I found 2 429's. They're members of other forums but you know...

The links I've found generally tell whether that particular Spartan is still around or if he/she has died. Honestly not sure if it was because of the number of Spartans or as a means of designating which generation they're from that letters began to get mixed into their service numbers.

Spartan Joshua-029, reporting. Yes, I have a canon Spartan named after me :cool

If you happen to be... let's say Spartan 2: 405, then you should change to S405 or if your name happens to be Adam, your tag may be A405 or 405A.

Be creative Ya'll, we're dealing with something that may lead to more.

(edit: After reading this for a second time I noticed that my edit turned into it's own post... resulting in a redundant post. Since I ca't delete, I'm sorry for posting a pointless post)

I would like to throw mine in as S-022. I have always used it as a service tag.
class 1,Gen 2

I am Sierra-1138 (Lucas Joke)
I am Down for the whole thing as well

I have always gone with either S-013 or S-113. I know there use to be a decent list on Wikipedia but doing a quick search i haven't been able to find it. It broke it down on Active, MIA, KIA. I would definiately be for such things as the list of Tags.

Mine are S-711 ( the birth day of my love ) E-815 ( the day we met ) And finally E-501 ( but thats my odst's )
