[Conrad Abdullah]

Howdy guys! New recruit here from Singapore! Name's Conrad. I've got some experience in Star Wars Costuming as part of the Mando Mercs, and my ODST kit will be my second set of armour I plan to troop in. I've yet to decide on any specialist vocation as an ODST, but I'm sure I'll figure something out. I'm still running by some design ideas until my helmet is finally shipped over, and I'll read up more on the lore to try and get things as in-universe and as lore friendly as possible (as much as I'd love going full highlander ODST, kilt sans underpants and all, swinging a claymore at a Brute).

Name: Conrad
Profession: Student (MD), formerly in the legal field.
Born: 1991
Favorite Hobby: Video Games, Warhammer and model making, books, and hanging out with the twitching mass of flesh that I call my friends
Favorite part of Halo: Armour and designs, as well as the detail put into the lore
Favorite Halo: 1, 2, 3, ODST.
Favorite Video Games: Planet Coaster, Titanfall 2 and Mount and Blade: Warband (because what other games can you wage war on and over butter)?

Looking forward to doing my kit up and eventually trooping with the Singapore Regiment, and all you lovely people from the 405th!
