I was thinking if your spartan with his/her own story, which species would your spartan represent? im also a huge Mass Effect fan and i have a huge fascination with the Turian race which is very similar to the elites. If my spartan had a role and still being a human, i would be a special operator for the Sangheili (not the covenant but rather a “Mafia” like clan at their home world. Eventually a group of spartan visit the home world and discover me and saw my spartan in action. attempting to recruit me, my elite brothers and i would be a special deployment group to operate as a tactical task force to stop the rogue Jackals (their story and their personality makes for a great rival). I turn down the offer as my Team would only be called as a close ally to the UNSC. There is alot more to come up with but i would have to write my own story for my spartan. this discusion is more of a brainstorming draft for your spartan’s story
My Spartan would be a Human without any special task but with a prefernce for flying.
I wouldn’t be a pansy spartan. Instead I would be myself, Nos Leygall a stealthy Sangheili armed with explosives, missing his right eye from the human covenant war, and eventually joining the Swords of Sangheilos
