Greetings, everyone.
This topic comes from a memory I always treasure. I once had a great friend (Greatest friend I ever had) with who I used to Roleplay a lot. She and I combined many franchises we liked and made a big and fun adventure back in the day; we made cross-overs with Halo, Skyrim, Titanfall, ARK Survival Evolved, FNAF, Doom, Warhammer 40k, Overwatch, Final Fantasy and many more.
So it got me thinking, if you were to make a Halo RP, would you make a cross-over with other games, comics, etc?
I personally have thought of doing one combining Halo, the elements of comic book Grendel (From the Matt Wagner’s Grendel comic book series), elements from Warhammer 40k and one character from the Bakemonogatari anime series.
What would you do in your case? 
Wow, this is one of the funnest thread topics I’ve seen on this site!
My first answer is terribly stupid, please forgive me. I absolutely love Felicia Day’s web series, The Guild… I enjoy the Friends-style sitcom that is watching a clan deal with their real and virtual lives together.
Erm, after that? Maybe some elements of the video game, Deus Ex. Halo could certainly use more exploration of how average civilians and soldiers feel about augmentation and how that has made Spartans often portrayed as “better” than “normal” soldiers, despite being voluntold to fight not volunteers like many “normal” marine “war heroes”. Though, on the topic of Deus Ex—I suppose it’s a little weird you don’t see very many cyborgs in Halo either… hmmm…
And thirdly, I suppose as the shill I am… the anime, Code Geass. I think realistically Halo is one baby step away from having mecha (Mantis is just a lame mech). And Spartans are already wearing the perfect undersuits for piloting mechs! Hahaha. Plus, I love the drama of the protagonist using his “mind control” powers to win a war, and watching the consequences of his actions. That same quasi-supernatural power would fit in comfortably enough with the quasi-supernatural elements of Halo.
I’m kind of trying to avoid pitting sci-fi with sci-fi; not super exciting to combine say Star Trek or Alien with Halo, imo. When the foundations of a fiction are too similar it’s not terribly interesting to mesh them. Star Trek often explores the same old sci-fi concepts that Halo does, and Alien is just fighting a psychotic Sangheili in the same low-tech sci-fi setting as Halo.

Nice. I’d say this is a good combination of tranquility and action
Have you thought of a good story for it?
