Name: George
Age: Eighteen
Profession: Student
Favourite Hobby: I am an avid Chess player, and regularly participate in local tournaments
Favourite aspect of Halo: I have long found myself enthralled by the Campaign and storyline elements of the Halo series.
Favourite Halo game: Although I bestow high praise upon all Halo games, I regard Halo 3 as being the most edifying. In this installment, a remarkable and grandiose Campaign was supplemented by an original and engaging multiplayer.
Video game interests: Despite the limited nature of my gaming repertoire, I have derived notable enjoyment from the Elder Scrolls series.
Other interests: I exhibit a disposition for many academic fields; specifically Astronomy, Physics, Politics and Economics.
Favourite Books: I frequently partake of non-fiction volumes, often relating to the fields of science or politics.
Music preferences: With the exception of the Halo soundtracks, I have little affinity for contemporary music. My preference remains with classical orchestral pieces.
Favourite films: 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, 'Angels and Demons' and the 'Alien' series.

As stated above, my passion for the Halo series is both evident and long-lived. Having first been introduced to Halo: CE approximately a decade ago, the series has become the epitome of my gaming biography. Although I have, since the advent of Halo 3, derived notable enjoyment from multiplayer encounters, I remain enthralled by Halo's unqiue Campaign. It is my belief that no other game has spawned so engaging and awe-inspiring a storyline. For this reason, I regard the original Halo trilogy to be unrivaled in its originality and significance.

Several years ago, as a consequence of my high regard for the Halo series, I entertained the possibility of constructing replica armour. However, at the time, I lacked the conviction required to manifest this aspiration. However, with the benefit of age, (and minor changes in my personal circumstances), I hope to rekindle the dream of armour design. Discussions with a friend, who has previously embarked upon Halo costuming, have served only to strengthen my resolve. After undertaking research into this field, I have settled upon the ambitious task of crafting a complete suit of Halo 3 Mark VI armour.

Alas, there exist several obstacles to my completing this project. The most notable of these is my comparative ineptitude. I have no experience in designing or crafting materials. Quite simply, I am the archetype of the term 'novice'. However, I hope that several personal traits shall compensate for this failing. Firstly, I place great value upon the merits of research. In my academic studies, I have found individual research to be indispensable in understanding challenging concepts. Hopefully, the same principle may be applied to armour creation. Secondly, when embarking upon a project, slight obsessive compulsive tendencies compel me to strive for perfection. Consequently, patience and dedication are characteristics I endeavour to personify. It is my understanding that these are indispensable traits for armourers.

It is my belief that, with sufficient research and preparation, I can (hopefully) overcome my evident inexperience. I must thank all 405th members who have hitherto completed armour pieces, as your efforts have inspired me to undertake a project of my own. Although I do not expect to design anything comparable to the aesthetically remarkable creations of others, it is my intention to dedicate myself fully to this endeavour.

To all members, thank you for establishing so innovative and supportive a facet within the Halo community. As a novice within the 40th, I greatly value the opportunity to converse with skilled and cordial individuals. I look forward to learning from the experiences of others, and in turn contributing to the community as a whole.

Hey guys, my name is Matt Poitras, originally from Canada. I'm 18 and I currently work at a Officer's Mess washing dishes. Other than that, I have several hobbies including assorted sports, video games, and overall arts in general. The story line of Halo is what gets me going. It's a future I can see coming for the human race and it's believable. It's also not just a heroic tale, as there are dark parts to it, and the mix of emotions you feel is really what attracts me. My favorite Halo has to be Reach. The storyline is exposed and you find out what happened to the other Spartans. (Cool graphics are a plus) I play League of Legends, I have an account on EU2 and I'm a brony. Slightly into roleplaying and me and a few of my friends are working on a film project set in somewhat of a future setting. I'm into Punk goes Pop and my favorite movie has to be the Shawshank Redemption.

Looking forward to feedback and getting to know everyone of 405th. Hopefully you guys will be as helpful as I pride myself to be.

Matt.

And as a after note, I'm totally and superly excited about making myself Halo armor!!!!!!! or is it armour.... Either way, I'm ready for the challenge and the experience. I'm no stranger to try try again. I consider my past creations to be mere childsplay compared to this endeavor. Finally, something exciting and much more tangible. Of course if any of you need help making colorful dreads, cyberlox, tutus, wings, or decorative bras then I'm your girl! Okay yeah, I'm sure that's a no but we've all got our different areas of experience. XD
