Canadian 405th Member Bios

[TurboCharizard]

Hey all you Canadian SPARTANs, ODSTS, Marines, Troopers, Pilots, Lekgolo, Jiralhanae and gosh knows what else! I'm helping out with the Social Media side of things and one of the fun things that I'd like to play around with is putting together a member spotlight so that we can help share your work to the cosplay community. This is a completely voluntary thing but I'd like to see as many of our members take part as possible because of the high caliber of work that we all put out up here in the Great White North.

The plan would be to do a weekly shout out of one of the members within the pool chosen at random, if we reach the end of the list of members in the pool I'll do a request for a new photo from everyone to share so that we can keep the coolest photos of everyone in the public eye. If at any point you would like to update your information on these bios, please contact BlazedStarbon, Artifice or myself, or edit your bio within this thread. If you'd like to take part but don't want to share certain bits of information, that's cool too! Just as much as you're willing to create, share and bask in some extra spotlight

To make things fun and also help with sharing your work around the following information would be awesome. I've also included a sample of what I use personally to give you an idea of what sort of Halo themed tie-ins to the lore we can use. I'm also open to other categories being added because this is just a start!

Everyone looks stellar all geared up so far!

Now, I know I am not a part if this regiment, but I am loving this page so far! I was wondering how you guys came up with these so far. Because I am not a leadership member of a regiment, would my rank be blank, or an actual rank in the military. I feel like it would be weird declaring myself as a petty officer second class or something... I dont know. And how bout specialization... is there a list somewhere or are we just making things up? And what is the DIN?

Thanks!

 

[BlazedStarbon]

xXDashIVXx we’re doing this for fun and to showcase members from our Regiment!

As for rank, most of us went by our 405th forum titles, DIN numbers are only given once your costume has been approved for deployment (these aren’t made up), and specialization appears to be a mix of deployed fireteam names and fiction?
