Description Okay, here are a few of the Sentinels I've designed for my Halo Stories. Now this is probably not going to be all of them, but I thought it was a good start. I didn't draw Lazarus on this sheet because owns him, she's just allowing me to use him in my stories. Below are bios on the them.

Guardians- Tactical, Cunning, and very smart. The Guardians are in charge of vutually everything on a Halo. Though they answer to the Monitors, they are allowed some freedoms in how they proform them. Guardians normally study all the information in an Instillation's and sends it Directly to the Ark, decide when of if a destroyed Halo/Monitor should be rebuilt, Oversees the contruction of other Sentinels and do much much more. They have High Powered Sentinel Beams and are more than capible of taking down an entire Covenant Platoon alone. The Guardians were proggramed to think and learn by using copies of Forerunner brains (like UNSC AIs) and think of newer models of Sentinel, Instillation defenses, and many other things that Monitors couldn't even dream of. It is because of this reason, Guardians often mistake themselves for ACTUAL Forerunner instead of Forerunner technologies. They were originally built to combat and destroy the Gravemind before the firing of the Halos, but they proved to be under armed for the task. However, their weapon systems and prototype shields were never removed, so they are more than a match for normal Flood.

Observers- Wherever a Guardian goes, a squad of Observers is bound to follow. Once charged with protecting the Forerunner, the Observers now follow the Guardians wherever they go. They are tasked with performing highly dificult tasks, and Observing the Halos during actual and simulated firings. When a Flood outbreak grows to a critical mass, these Sentinels are deployed inside the Control room, Library, and other key areas to keep the Flood from somehow stopping the Halos from firing.

Reapers- The Elite Task force of the Sentinels, the Reapers are assigned to Sentinel Warriors (Like Lazarus 105) as their own personal troops. Originally conceived by the Guardians, the Reapers prove to be a powerful and dangerous foe, but an even stronger allie. They are well suited for their Covert and often Impossible Missions.

Scythes- Deployed in small areas where Reapers cannot reach or fit, or when a detailed map of the battle feild is needed. The Scythes are small but powerful constructs for their size, and the fact that they are actually Constructor varriants. They are capible of beating seven to one odds before they are overpowered and destroyed. They are normally stored inside a back compartment on the Reapers.

Researchers- The Mother's of the Sentinel world. Their function is to Build, repair, and design new Sentinels based on data they gather from the feild. Mother Sentinels are extremly liked by the other Sentinels' odd relationship with these models. (Whether this is because they see them as their actuall mothers or not is unknown) They often are tasked with making Guardian concepts a reality. A side note, "Mother" Sentinels as they've been dubbed also seem very protective of all Sentinels.

Medics- Or "Mama's Boys" are deployed to recover damaged Sentinels and data for Mother Sentinels. They have two Major model Sentinel Beams as their only defense and use a type of Tractor Beam to retreive wounded or Destroyed Sentinels for the Mothers to fix.

Hackers- Little is known about this Model besides the fact they are only ever seen in Librarys catorgorizing and Recatigorizing data.

Heavy Arms- As their name suggests, these Sentinels are designed to do what Sentinel Majors cannot. They are armed with very powerful Sentinel Beams and capible of doing what twelve minor Sentinels can.

Ark Library Sentinels- (No Data Availible.)

Nice ideas for machines, and a genuine Forerunner look. I especially like the Researchers with their clawlike fingers. Very nice work!

Halo fanfic series? Yeah, I started writing one of those a while back. Like most of my fanfictions, though, I kind of lost interest in it and it died in the cradle.

The only custom Forerunner machine I designed was "848 Lost Cause", basically another caretaker like Guilty Spark. Not too great compared to yours!

Seven books of how many pages each? Wow, I've probably written about that many fanfictions in my entire LIFE!

TheApprentice225 In reply to ArrantPreceptor [2010-01-14 23:36:25 +0000 UTC]

lol each book is 10 chapters, each chapter is 7 or so (sometimes more) pages long. lol And I have many other books laying around. 2 System Shock fice (I never finished 3) one on that old movie Deadly Fiend, and many more.

ArrantPreceptor In reply to TheApprentice225 [2010-01-15 01:05:58 +0000 UTC]

That is pretty impressive. My books tend to be about 120 pages long with 15-20 chapters; the novel I'm currently working on, "Narrator's Tale", will consist of three and a half such books by the time I'm done.

Do you have any of your books posted on dA or Fanfiction.Net or anything? I'd like to have a look at them myself.

OMG... These are fricking brilliant!!! Bungie needs to see them, so they can make a Halo game set during the Forerunner/Flood wars! Sentinels just like these could be used! (I'd love to see Bungie make a Halo game made at this time - you can play as a Forerunner warrior like the MC and the Librarian is your commanding officer. You do all sorts of stuff that eventually culminates in the Halo array being fired - the end of the game lol).

The designs are awesome! I really like how each Sentinel looks totally different and you've given them their descriptions. Are they going to be used in your new story? If so, they would be awesome adversaries for the Flood...

Oh yes drsky, they will be used. Maybe not all of them in book for, but book four is only the first part in a three part series so I think I'll get them all in

Thanks for faving it. How goes your Lazerus and the Reapers pic?

I'm working on a comic right now (its still in its very early stages...) I wrote a short story featuring Lazarus and a gigantic Flood command form (not a Gravemind though). He has a couple of Reapers with him, and I want to draw all of them in action. I wanna try and make it look dynamic!

And I'm sooooo looking forward to your next book

TheApprentice225 In reply to drskytower [2009-03-26 11:55:31 +0000 UTC]

A COMIC!?! Wow, that's even better! I can't wait to read it. I also can't wait to see the Floor command form.

And I'm almost done with the forth book. During this entire series I have never taken a break before starting the next one. I hope you and all my fans like it a lot.
