> > I would have thought a green colour scheme would be more suitable, due to the colours of Seraratist phantoms. Plus, white would be seen as too similar to the <mark>Light of Sanghelios</mark> (A specialised unit of Honour Guards), who wear white. EDIT: Never mind, didn’t realise your were talking about ascetics. White would be good for ascetics, “purity of faith” sort of thing. But I would have thought that their role would have changed, as many of the Arbiter’s followers now do not believe that the Forerunners are their gods (Some still do, mind you). Maybe they would move to a more political/judiciary section of society, similar to the remnants’ Zealots?

> > You’re right reptile, Ascetics were “a sect of religiously devout Sangheili who controlled and enforced ideological purity within their faith”. Working in a similar manner to the San’shyuum, but before the formation of the covenant. Loved that armour.

> There we go! That solves one gap of the problem.They would serve as the Arbiter’s bodyguards wearing the same armor. However, I think that removal of the helmet is an ‘okay’ approach towards independent elites. I also think that the Arbiter’s approach is coming since the sangheili are already in crisis, especially when Jul M’dama and his Covenant teamed up with the DIdact and his forces.
indeed, Thel might jump in just to evan things out.
and if the UNSC and thel’s Elites are having problems now there is still the possibility of flood makeing a comeback
