In Response To: Covenant Party Animals (scarab)

: What do you think each Covenant species would be like if they let their hair
: down and partied?

: I think that the Grunts would be most fun. I can see them shaking their
: booties on the dance floor, having Grunty karaokes, and just generally
: having good craic. It doesn't matter who you are, if you want a good time
: then the Grunts will make you welcome.

: They're a hoot.

Definitely. The Grunts will probably be the drunk party guys. I can just see a little Grunt bouncing up and down with a bottle vodka screaming, "HEHE LET'S GET WASTED!"

: Jackals always seem shifty to me. I can see them off in a corner, Jackals
: only, playing poker with cigarettes hanging out of the corner of their
: mouths. The only time a non-Jackal would be with them was if they wanted
: to cheat a N00b out of his hard won. They are the kind of guys that would
: get you drunk, take you to get you laid but there is somebody waiting
: behind the door with a gun or a baseball bat. You end up in the middle of
: nowhere at 3 in the morning, no money, wondering if you should tell the
: police or forget the whole thing.

: They're bad boys.

I'd say that's pretty good.

: I used to think that Hunters would be the door men. But I suppose that job's
: taken by the Brutes . Can you see them stuffed into black suits, white
: shirts, black ties? You walk up to the door and there is a Bute filling
: the doorway, shaved head, eight and a half feet tall, arms crossed.

I think the brutes would also be like the biker gang guys. The guys that play pool and get drunk and fight each other for no good reason.

: The Elites are so macho, I always picture them dressing up like the village
: people, hanging out in the Covenant equivalent of the Blue Oyster Bar from
: Police Academy. Dressed in black leather, with: jackboots, the little
: leather nazi caps, and dog collars. Tom of Finland or Rainer Werner
: Fassbinder films spring to mind. They probably hang around arm wrestling
: and drinking Banana Daiquiris.
: You'd better behave.

: They're so macho.

Uh, macho as in gay?

I don't think they're gay. I think they're like cool show-offy guys. The go-with-the-flow guys. They may sti around drinking and having small chit-chat and generally looking around. If they were dancing they'd do something a little-drawn back, nothing ridiculously flashy, but still stylish and cool, but showing off their skills at the same time.

They may also try and show up some Brutes by doing the whole behind-your-back sink in pool where they sink the ball while having the cue stick behind their back and sinking a ball.

: The Drones don't know how to party. You find them hanging on the walls.
: Watching the dance floor, watching other people have a good time.

: Wall flowers.

I can see them also being kind of jittery and darting back and forth.

: Hunters are probably stranger than you think. I can see a jacuzzi with
: armour strewn round the edges and hundreds of orange worms in the bubles,
: some with cocktail glasses and some with beer. If they invite you in it
: would be best to decline.

: Thanks but no thanks.

I really doubt that. If you watched the Super Mario Brothers movie, I imagine them being like the Goombas in the elevator scene.

: I can't see the Prophets clubing. They probably have dinner parties,
: soirees, polite gatherings of the higher levels of culture. The Arbiter is
: a nice spoken lad, well brought up. I wonder if he ever got an invite?

: The upper crust.

I think some lesser prophets could be like barkeeps and stuff like that. Maybe like the guys "in the back" at a club.

: Well thats what I think. Anyone here ever wondered what the Covenant would be
: like when they're not glassing planets? What do you think each species
: would be like if they let their hair down?

Well, I think Engineers would basically just keep to themselves and chitter away about technical crap that nobody but them cares about and maybe make occasionally daring moves, but then embarass themselves. They're basically the people in the club that want to fit in, but can't and so they keep to their group.
