I have decided to start a new thread dedicated to listing the numbers of all the 405th members here.
The reason being 1) because the previous thread became kind've jumbled with talks of trying to decide a sorting order via squads and fireteams, 2) the character limit for a single post was reached, so I thought it would be much easier to break the list up into a few posts at the beginning of a new thread, and 3) The OP has not been updated in several months.
The old thread can be found [Here].
I don't mind if discussion and questions on this topic continue in the other thread. In fact, it might be better to do that there in order to keep this thread less cluttered.
Personally, I would choose to not allow an individual to have more than 1 alias, but that's just me. This rule may receive amendments at a later date.
• Feel free to leave a Bio about your spartan/character when you post here!!! But please remember, you should only post the 1 from your main/favorite build that you will be requesting a number for. It isn't really fair to others if you take a new number for each set of armor you build.
• This list is for everyone, not just Spartan-IVs or IIs, or any particular spartan program. Just because Halo 4 is the newest game in the series, it doesn't mean that everyone needs to be a Spartan-IV. Be who you want to be. If you want to be a Spartan-III on Beta Squad -Team Foxtrot, say so. Our demographics don't really matter in regards to picking a squad for yourself, and there is no reason to force someone onto a particular squad name if they would rather be in a different one.
• Likewise, if you and your friends all want to be on the same squad together, that's totally acceptable,
- - • HOWEVER, I ask that your friends be members on the forums and that they post for themselves.
- - • If you want to be in your own particular group together with just your friends, my suggestion is coming up with a unique team name under an existing squad/company.
• Please follow the naming conventions based on what Spartan Project your character is from. If you do not, and you have some sort of weird naming convention, you will either be listed under the Spartan I/Special Projects group, or you might just be ignored altogether, especially if it is apparent that you didn't read through this.
• No, you can't be S-117. While you might build a Master Chief costume and put 117 on it, which is fine, I consider all of the individuals on the forums to be their own unique spartans. As such, I would prefer it if you avoided using the number of one of the known canon characters in the Halo universe.
I am NOT saying you can't share the number of an existing character (with the exception of 117), just that you should try and avoid it if you can.
• While the title of this thread might make it seem like only spartans are allowed, I will accept UNSC/ODST soldiers if they would like to be listed.
Before you post or ask if something is taken, please see when the OP was last edited. You can then search through the thread for posts after the last instance when the List was edited.
Press Ctrl+F and see if your number has already been taken.
DO NOT include your letter prefix when you do this.
Search: 128 = Good
Search: S-128 = BAD
[Service Number]: [Name] | Spartan-[Project Number] || [Squad/Company]: [Team] | [Rank] || [Your actual, real-life location]
Replace all the [Boxes] with the relevant text. Bold text is not needed.
• Please refer to the examples below since different generations of spartans follow different naming conventions.
• Under "Name", Please include your username (if you also are listing a specific name for your character)
- - • Your character name is optional, but your username will be listed.
- - • As said earlier, you need to be a member of the forums to be on the list.
• Your Squad/Company, Team, and Rank are all OPTIONAL.
• For your location, while I don't require your City, I ask that you at least list your State (if in the US) or Country. If you list your city, you will likely need to abbreviate your State's/Country's name.
• For Spartan-IIIs, you will be sorted by your squad followed by your number. If you would prefer to be on a squad other than what your Service Number indicates, please say so. If you choose to be on a unique squad, you will simply be listed under an existing category with your squad name listed in your details. "Squad" is the same thing as "Company", and "Teams" belong within a particular Squad.
• If everyone starts listing all their details as //CLASSIFIED//, I might just end up doing away with all of them.

• What should I do with Spartan-IIIs that do not use a Greek Letter?
• Should I limit Spartan-III Squadron/Companies to only Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Unknown?
***But the most important question is....***
• While I was already aware that Spartan-IIIs were trained in companies ranging from 300 to 330 total, I was unaware that Spartan-IIIs (such as some of the canon characters which will be included in the list), were allowed to have numbers that started below 150.
Also, since only a few numbers are known, all of which are numbered below 330 (with Kat being the highest at #320), I think it would be reasonable to assume that there were duplicate numbers. What I mean is that Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta each had 1-300 (or 1-330 in some companies).
What should I do with those that are already included within the list?
For those that did not specify what type of Spartan they were, should I continue to include those that used numbers 150 and below without the prefix "S" in front of their number under the Special Projects category?
• In addendum to the question on should numbers beyond 999 be allowed, should Spartan-IIIs be allowed to have numbers beyond 330?
The reason being 1) because the previous thread became kind've jumbled with talks of trying to decide a sorting order via squads and fireteams, 2) the character limit for a single post was reached, so I thought it would be much easier to break the list up into a few posts at the beginning of a new thread, and 3) The OP has not been updated in several months.

Details, Rules, & Regulations about this List
• You ONLY get 1 Number. I understand that some of us here might make more than 1 costume, maybe even a new one for each game. But you will need to ask yourself, "which one do I identify with the most?", and you will need to make your decision in regards to this list.Personally, I would choose to not allow an individual to have more than 1 alias, but that's just me. This rule may receive amendments at a later date.
