Halo: DogTag Origins Page 7

Share

Took 2 weeks but it is finished, this page and this comic.

It took longer because I had to restart on this page from scratch a week ago, while working on the line art I decided to save just to be safe but while it was saving my house had a blackout and therefore the entire photoshop file was corrupted so I technically drew this page twice over haha.

Anyways as you can tell by now the ODST (name Gunnery Sergeant Louis Darby.) saved Wasp when she was just a child on the planet of Nesoi, he took care of her for 3 days (Nesoi's day is 17 hours long.) while getting her to a evacuation station.

That was the last time he saw her and her him. But he left an enormous impression on the young Wasp, she wanted to make something of herself, she aspired to be like the man who saved her and was kind to her while her home turned into a crematory. Even at 6 years old Wasp wanted to become an ODST when she reached the allowed age to join the UNSC forces in the fight against the Covenant. But her thought out future was changed when months later ONI agents collected Wasp and offered a position in the SPARTAN III Program. She accepted the offer.

When she became apart of Fire Team Quiver years later she modeled herself after ODSTs as much as possible, ODST helmet, gear such as combat knives and other tools ODSTs always keep. But after 2545 a major moment in her life and that of Fire Team Quiver she realized she wasn't an ODST, she never will or ever could be an ODST she was something more and she needed to strive to be what she was.... a SPARTAN.
Her old ODST gear, irreparably damaged from combat she adopted the standard MJOLNIR of Spartans.

Years after the end of the war with Fire Team Quiver now apart of the SPARTAN IV Program, Wasp saw that on board the UNSC Infinity was a man with the same name, blood type, birthdate and other information as the ODST who gave her his dog tags. Louis Darby had survived the war and was stationed on the UNSC Infinity and now the team lead of ODSTs. She has anxiety on whether to meet him, to show how much he meant to her and how he influenced her in her life. Her fellow team members encouraged her to meet him and so she did.
Wasp gave back Louis his dogtags as a sign of thanks and that she had made it in her own eyes.
