Halo: Drill Instructor 117

Project Overview

"Start f***in' pushing."

In the distant years post-Infinite events, Master Chief Petty Officer John 117 is starting to show his age. Unwilling to jeopardize future missions, he contemplates retirement. However, at the urging of Admiral Lasky, 117 instead accepts a Drill Instructor billet for the UNSC’s newly-revamped SPARTAN Program.

This comedic, mentor/mentee project consists of seven, 10-15 minute episodes produced in Unreal Engine 5, with a focus on character development for our four Spartan Recruits (recruit pools are fireteam-sized), and Master Chief as well.

Fair warning: My style of comedy can lean dark/absurd. For example, one of the episodes utilizes an anime-style shader. Another one features our Recruits maybe, sorta, kinda eating an Unggoy...by accident. They taste like chicken, did you know that?

This project is very special to me. I intend on bringing a lot of personal military experience into it, as well as general love for such an iconic franchise. Naturally, I encourage fellow Veterans to audition, or even to just share a memory of boot camp/basic training!

Thank you in advance for your time :)

Latest Updates

  • Drill 117: Deadline Extension

    Hey folks, Sud here.

    A resounding note of gratitude for those of you who’ve auditioned. It means a lot, seriously.

    I still need applicants for the role of Aria, so I’ve pushed the deadline a bit. If any of you have friends/acquaintances (preferably 18+) that might be interested in that role, please send them my way!

    If, for any reason, I still don’t have a candidate for Aria by the deadline, I’ll likely scale back on the project’s scope (which will take even more time with script revisions), but fingers crossed that someone comes through.

    Updates will be posted here until role assignments are finalized.

    Salúd,

    Sud

Main role for a series planned at seven episodes (10-15 mins per). For context, assume Master Chief is successful in subsequent events post-Infinite, and has gotten to a point where his age is starting to show. Rather than retire, he’s urged by General Lasky to take on a drill instructor billet for the UNSC’s revamped SPARTAN Program on Joint Base Noble-Refum, Reach. (Please note that this role entails a modest level of military jargon and harsh verbiage, some of which may be considered offensive. As a Veteran myself, I believe authenticity to the role of a Drill is paramount.)

  • You’re about as useful as a Grunt fresh off the nipple.

  • Being a Spartan is more than enhancements. More than slipping into a set of Mjolnir. Spartans are about heart. (*momentary silence*) Hear that? (*points to various recruit’s chests*) Yeah, I didn’t hear it either.

  • (Cadence March) Everywhere I go—Master Chief is always there—Master Chief—MC—Why don’t you leave me alone?

No required lines, though I've included a few if preferred. There's a variety of minor roles, from Unggoy to Sangheili, bitter Korean-based ladies working on post (for authenticity, I swear), UNSC personnel, and more.

  • Ah...it appears the Demon has excreted offspring.

  • You like helmet? What wrong with helmet? No, no, no, you TAKE helmet—right size, yes, right size.

  • But...Sir, you can't just...conduct weapons drills at the commissary. And LIVE ROUNDS at that?

  • They call themselves "Journeyed". Seen 'em first-hand on a transport. Sangheilis, but...something didn't look right.

Main / Male / Icelandic-inspired / early thirties


Daz is one of our recruits, with little to moderate lines in each episode. With the UNSC's test run of civilian-Spartan candidate pools, Daz left a life of mercenary work to be the hero his late daughter always saw him as. Daz's persona leans stoic, with notes of suppressed pain within the rasp of few volunteered words.


Please note: this character is the most emotionally demanding.

  • (MC: You quitting on me?) Negative, Chief. *heavy swing on object* I don't quit. *harder swing/panting* But I've failed.

Role assigned to: TheGuyWithTheVoice

Main / Male / Black / Mid-twenties


Bart is one of our four recruits. He is the son of Commander Simeon Brown, a decorated and highly-regarded ODST war hero. Bart's acceptance into Spartan Candidacy was met with dismissal by other candidates due to an average Naval service record in comparison to others.

  • What do you mean "glowing veins"? Sangheili skin is thick—can't see even see them as-is, let alone a glow.

Role assigned to: Jae-in Hwan

Main / Female / Irish-based (accent not a requirement) / early twenties


Erin is one of our recruits, coming in as a fresh graduate of the restored Corbulo Academy. A natural leader in all respects, Erin's demeanor exudes confidence and the highest standing of military customs/discipline. She opted for Spartan selection at the urging of Spartan Jun, who — during a visit with Alliance brass — sparred with some of the Combatives high-scoring cadets.

  • Aye, Chief! Consider it done. *turns to squad* Velasquez, take point with Torbjorn and clear an LZ.

  • Look, I'm sorry. Happy? I'm not used to this, any of this. They try to make it realistic at Corbulo, but...

  • It's all I know. I never had close friends—told myself it was a blessing in disguise. Life seemed easy that way.
