I’m writing a fanfiction for Halo, that takes place from the perspective of a group of jackals, and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on anything
A story that follows this group of jackals would be interesting.
Following the outbreak of the Human-Covenant war, a group of Kig-Yar under Reth made contact with the Rubble, a community of human survivors of the glassing of Madrigal. The Kig-Yar agreed to trade Covenant weaponry in exchange for slipspace drives.
Although the humans believed the Kig-Yar were defying Covenant authority, they were in fact secretly proceeding with the blessing of the High Prophet of Truth to use the weapons to map UNSC space and learn the location of Earth. They also built up an army of hundreds of thousands of Unggoy. The plan fell apart due to the High Prophet of Regret sending Sangheili warriors to investigate the weapons, believing the Kig-Yar to be heretics.
In the Battle of the Rubble and the Battle of Metisette, Reth and his forces were killed by Spartan-II Gray Team and the crew of the UNSC Midsummer Night
(Quoted from Halo Nation).
One important thing to remember about writing characters is that not all people of a particular species are the same. Don’t go so far as to make them strongly distinct from each-other, but try to avoid making them carbon-copies of each-other.

I’m actually quite impressed and intrigued, and I might pursue this. Thanks for your input!

I have the characters and their personalities down, only based off of the things I’ve seen in the games. I’ve assumed that anger issues are quite common based on their constant screaming, but not all are like that. I assume they are fairly primitive compared to Elites. These like I said are general stereotypes to follow, but all four of the Jackals I have are different to an extent.
