Girl Looks Like A Spartan *IMGs*

It started with the formation of Team Wort.


MLG 2X Ultra Pro Allstars
(That's me in the Turquiose and Blood Red. Ain't I purty?)

We're doofuses.

ANYWAY. I am a crafty individual. It all started when I was a wee ankle-biter who loved to doodle. Wait, you thought I was smart? HAH! The guys will tell you I'm probably the dumbest of the bunch. I have been referred to having the brain the size of a goldfish and have been completely banned from ever driving the Warthog on multiple occasions. I still try to, but they jump out and run in fear for their lives.

So yeah. I'm crafty. And one night my crazy, crafty, goldfished sized brain came up with this idea. This totally awesome idea. This idea that made all the other brilliant ideas in existance at that very moment meaningless...

I was going to create an "authentic" Halo/Team Wort themed jacket.

The guys once again thought I was crazy. That was ok. I had a PLAN. I began gathering my resources...

The Spartan patch included with my copy of Halo: Reach Legendary was only the beginning. With something to use for size and style references I started work on an offical team patch. This got the guys excited, and this was the end result.


I'm in the process finding a good way to get that MADE into a patch.

But the patches are meaningless without a jacket! I needed somewhere to wear these almighty emblems of epic awesome. So the search for the jacket began. The jacket proved to be elusive, but I had high hopes since military-esque jackets were in style at the time. And Black Friday was quickly nearing...

Throughout the seach I continued my plans. This jacket would need my name, the Spartan number I adopted with Halo 3, and the call sign I adopted with ODST.

CRYSTAL - Z053 "SABRE"

And then, days before Black Friday, I found it, the perfect jacket. So for Christmas last year, I got myself a Military esque jacket, with the above emroidered onto it and the Spartan patch sewn onto the right shoulder. I was so friggin happy. (And totally showing off.)

...But I wanted more...

One night just a few months ago, during a thunderstorm, lightning struck me... Figuratively. I was going to make Campaign Ribbons for every single Halo game. A full set for every member of Team Wort. The guys questioned me at first, but heads promptly imploded at my awesomeness upon further explanation.

Unfortunately, my goldfish mind hadn't considered what they'd look like. At all. Thankfully that's what my boyfriend is for. Phoenix came up with the below mockup. There's a reasoning behind each one I'll let him explain. Onto the pretties! (Which I had to modify slightly due to resources and construction options.)


The mockups. Genesis of greatness.


Top Row from Left to Right: Halo Wars, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo: Reach
Bottom Row from Left to Right: Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3

And of course, the whole thing with Team Wort and the Shortbus was so epicly A-MA-ZING that I could not resist.


A special award for four very special students.

Four sets of each took me about a month to do. Now all of Team Wort will look spiffy and cool.

But I like to think that I look the best.

Oddball? Takes one to know one.


Completely adorned!

I am a Genius. *giggles*
