Isaac is a strong willed person, he would do anything to save a living being even if that means sacrificing his own life in order to do it. Isaac is duty bound to follow the codes of the military however if he believes that the order of a commanding officer would in danger lives he would speak up about it. In all reality Isaac has a good heart and would listen to anyone’s problems he can be very loyal to people, even though this may lead to his own downfall. Due to the nature of his military upbringing Isaac has toughen up considering his past.
Isaac is a fun easy going person who is easy to get along with and a good person at heart. Isaac strongly believes peace with the other aliens and has no problems with them at all, however he still has strong beliefs on humanity and wishes to see his own race do well in the galaxy. Isaac is a person who doesn’t give up, even when he was refused into the Alliance due to a heart condition he tried again and it wasn’t until he showed his natural gifts in biotic abilities was he given a chance to show what he was worth.
Isaac is a social person and enjoys being around with other people rather than being alone, he sometimes tends to keep his own problems and feelings to his self while listening and helping other people to the fullest of his abilities. When in the heat of battle Isaac is calm and looks into the situation before jumping in. While Isaac likes to have company he can go with days being alone if it needed to be. Isaac hates the reapers for what they had done to his homeworld Earth and he would like to see them pushed back to dark space or actually defeated and never come back though to be honest he is afraid of them and what they can do.
history
Isaac was born in Brisbane Australia, to his parents they believed that they had a normal healthy baby however as Isaac grow older it was made clear that they didn’t. Isaac suffered from a heart condition which made his youth a little bit painful. Isaac’s heart condition meant that he couldn’t afford to play sports in case his heart would break down in the heat of the game. So Isaac spent the first few years in and out of hospital while his parents worked around his condition making sure that it didn’t affect what Isaac wanted to do. School life wasn’t a problem for Isaac he kept up with the rest of the class even though some weeks he spent it at the hospital and he didn’t know he had biotic abilities until well into high school.
When Isaac turned eighteen he decided that he would try and apply to become an Alliance member just like his father was. At first Isaac passed his tests however when it came down to medical the Alliance refused him because of his heart condition. This didn’t stop Isaac for trying however a year later he tried again however he was about to be refused until Major Robert Daniels approached Isaac. It was the Major who helped Isaac’s entrance into the Systems Alliance. Thankfully for the faith Isaac was shipped out to boot camp to begin his training into the alliance navy. Isaac soon discovered that he had an natural gift for biotic’s which seemed good for his training.
Isaac soon graduated as a Second Lieutenant. Isaac soon was shipped out to the Citadel where he was placed as part of the security detail. On a routine patrol Isaac discovered a smuggling ring of illegal goods her intercepted them with his team and they opened fire. Isaac’s team was heavily wounded and so was Isaac. Down to his last ammo Isaac charged with his biotic abilities lifting the small group into the air. This was the moment where the rest of his team could open fire upon the smugglers. Isaac didn’t want to kill them but they gave him no choice. Isaac served on the citadel for a few years before being promoted to First Lieutenant and was ordered to return back to Earth.
Isaac discovered that he was being recruited into the N7 programme and after a few weeks of incredible training Isaac saw himself graduating and becoming an N7 marine. Isaac soon was shipped out to the Olympus a dreadnaught for a couple more years to serve as a boarding party team member with other N7 marine’s. Isaac was asked to become the chief security officer on board the frigate Okinawa. It was here that Isaac stayed until he and his friends were given shore leave. Isaac chose Melbourne even though he didn’t realize that Earth was about to be invaded. Isaac is now a Staff Lieutenant fighting in London.

Smack! Isaac was knocked back a little by Victor’s punch, however Isaac was still standing up straight he wasn’t about to lose this match he could very well win a lot of credits to warrant an perfect shore leave. Tomorrow would mean his long shuttle ride back to Vancouver but for now Isaac was in this boxing match that his friends had put him in, just for credits. Isaac smiled as he moved back into a fighting stand and with his right hook he punched the guy in the jawline hard hoping that Victor would at least be a little hurt by this. Blocking the next jab from Victor Isaac made a fake right punch before pushing all his power into a left jab.
Isaac danced around the ring for a moment, he was clearly enjoying this fight a little bit too much though if someone told him years ago he would be standing here Isaac wouldn’t believe him at all. Isaac saw an opening in Victor’s defensives and made several jabs to the ribs and one final uppercut into the jaw. Isaac watched as Victor fell to the ground hard, though getting back up would be a good idea at this point. The appointed alliance referee began counting as he noticed that Victor wasn’t getting up. The counts ended and Isaac was the winner of the match, which made him feel that much better about tonight heck now him and his friends could raid the bar a few blocks away and brag about the match.
“Staff Lieutenant Maxwell has defeated Corporal Victor Reynolds!” The referee shouted out. Isaac spat out his mouthguard into the bucket as he turned towards his two friends Henry and Lawrence. “Well guys I do believe that drinks are on us.” Isaac explained with a huge smile on his face. Exiting the ring Isaac was given the prize money. “You sure you don’t want to stay for another couple matches Isaac?” Isaac just shook his head as he grabbed his towel to whip the sweat from his face. “No Charley not tonight have to get on the shuttle. I’m being shipped of Earth tomorrow, won’t be seeing this place for quiet sometime though I’ll be back to win more credits next shore leave whenever that is.” Isaac explained as he waved goodbye to his old friend. Isaac now needed a shower before getting himself to that pub for the drinks he promised Henry and Lawrence
Melbourne Australia
2059 Hours
Isaac entered the local pub a few moments latter wearing his civilian outfit which consisted of just a black t shirt, jeans and a leather jacket. “I knew you’d get that guy Isaac you have a mean uppercut there.” Lawrence came up with a smile, he patted Isaac on the back and handed him a beer. “Yeah where the heck did you learn to fight so well anyway?” Henry asked with a grin as he managed to find an empty table as the pub was packed tonight. “Isaac smiled at the words of his friends, they all served together on the frigate warship Okinawa. They all worked under Captain Chang whom Isaac didn’t get along with though Isaac hopped that he could get transferred to another ship maybe a cruiser though he knew that he always couldn’t choose where the alliance would drop you.
Sighing at that very thought Isaac took a few sips from his beer and looked at the credits that he had one, splitting it three ways he gave Lawrence and Henry their share as they were the ones that forced him into that damned match. “Admiral Robert Daniels taught me basic self-defence back in boot camp, the guy had so much faith in me without him pushing me to the brink and back I wouldn’t be in the alliance today. So many close calls but here I am drinking with you two after a win.” Isaac explained with a smile. “So enough with the past let’s drink we’ve got to go see Captain Chang tomorrow.” With that the night turned into drinking and talking about other things rather than the past or the military.
Several hours passed and the three friends exited the pub with high spirits on their faces after spending a good time on shore leave though they now needed a good night’s sleep before they had to get up to take the shuttle back to the Okinawa. As Isaac began walking back to the hotel room he noticed something in the distance something that didn’t seem right to him at all. In the distance Isaac spotted buildings being engulfed by red and orange flames. At first Isaac thought it was fireworks but another one hit closer to the group of friends, it was on the second hit Isaac saw the explosions for what they were. “We’re under attack!” Isaac heard shouting and people running in pure chaos.
It didn’t take Isaac or his friends long to reach the alliance outpost in Melbourne to see people running around. Isaac found the man in charge Major Bailey. Bailey explained what had happened and they were ordered to flee to the nearest shuttle as they needed personal to their correct assignments, though Isaac just wanted to take the fight to the reapers he hated them so much right now. It took the group an hour to reach the transport station they saw a shuttle that was heading to Vancouver and made a quick dash to board it, they were lucky to get on it as they shuttle was about to leave.
Several Days Ago
Sahara Desert
0900 Hours
The small Kodak shuttle flew across the desert, Isaac himself yawned slightly as he looked back at his two friends who were still asleep. Their pilot Private Dmitri Sawyer sat back comfortably in the pilot’s seat as the shuttle continued to fly towards London. They had to change course as they heard that Vancouver had been attacked and there would be a way to get on board their ship from there. Isaac wondered why they didn’t just fly upwards into space so they could board, however they had wounded that needed to get to London. Isaac sighed as he stood up and stretched for a moment.
“Everyone we have incoming brace yourselves!” Dmitri yelled as he turned back to flying the shuttle. Isaac sighed again as he sat back down, he wasn’t about to stand up if they got hit that would be completely stupid. Dmitri manoeuvred the shuttle around the incoming fire from the enemy, suddenly however they were attacked and Isaac looked around wondering if he could do something to help. Isaac looked back at Dmitri for a split second before he felt the impact of the enemy’s firepower then he saw nothing as blackness sneaked in. The shuttle made a nose dive and flew into the ground. Isaac woke up a few hours later, he looked around as he tried to summon enough energy to actually stand up.
Isaac’s first attempt to stand up didn’t go to well, he crashed down onto the ground. Groaning loudly Isaac discovered that a long metal railing had been thrashed into his stomach. Summoning up all the energy that he had left inside him, Isaac managed to stand up it was here h noticed his friends had been killed in the crash he was shocked and horrified by the sight of Henry and Lawrence however he needed to move the reapers could come back or hell the husks could arrive at any moment. Isaac carried no weapon on him during his shore leave, he didn’t know he would be thrown into a war. Isaac moved slowly to check on the pilot Dmitri who he found to be dead, the other passengers were the same.
Isaac sighed to himself as he walked slowly towards the exit of the shuttle he was glad that the door worked, he didn’t feel like pushing the door open. Isaac soon climbed out of the shuttle and into the harsh desert of the Sahara. Isaac had no clue on where anything was in this desert he hadn’t been here before and with everything looking the same he doubt that he could find anything at all and so Isaac began walking in one direction, was he going in the right direction? Isaac really hoped that he was going in the right direction or he would be dying here in this desert without even helping out the human race repel this threat form Earth.
Several hours had passed and Isaac still walked, he managed to pull out the railing that had plunged itself into his stomach though he was still bleeding badly and if he didn’t seek immediate medical treatment Isaac would surly die. It was a few more steps Isaac began to feel it and it wasn’t long before he crashed down onto his knees. Isaac was hot from the heat, bleeding and dying of thirst as he collapsed completely. Isaac departed from the world of the living for the second time today, it was amazing how he managed to sort of cheat death it would seem that Isaac’s role in this world was not over yet and Isaac was yet to truly discover what that role was.
Two Days Latter
Sahara Desert
1548 Hours
Isaac woke up and immediately jolted upwards from the bed he was laying in, he looked around and didn’t know where he was at all. “Don’t worry my friend you’re in a safe place. Hidden from any dangers. My brother and his team found your body half buried in the sand it was amazing that you’ve recovered that was two days ago. You’ve been there ever since. Here take some water you’re probably need it.” A man in alliance uniform approached Isaac handing him a bottle of water. Isaac took the water thankfully and took large gulps from it. After almost finishing the water Isaac looked over at the man. “Where am I? Where there any other survivors?” Isaac asked though he sort of knew that there wasn’t.
The man smiled at Isaac’s words. “Amongst friends. We are the Alliance resistance for Egypt. Cairo was destroyed in the reaper attack and so we fled here. We have over a thousand civilians and three thousand military personnel living underground and hiding from the reapers. We attack them with any chance we got. Our scouting party spotted your shuttle going down and my brother who was leading the party rescued you from near death you should be lucky.” The man explained. “I need to make my way to London to you have a spare shuttle that I can use? I need to get back to the SRV Okinawa to get back into the fight.” Isaac explained. “We do have a spare shuttle but you need your rest. You won’t make the journey in your current position allow our medical team to patch you up.”
With those words Isaac drifted back to sleep. It wasn’t until a couple of days later did Isaac fully recover and he was walking about, he even went on a few scouting trips just so he could help his new found friends in Egypt. On his fifth day the man who now had introduced himself as Abu took Isaac to where they had a spare shuttle. Thanking the man Isaac climbed into the shuttle and started her up, he was glad that he took a few lessons a few years back on how to fly this thing or he would be in more trouble than he was already. Smiling at that very thought Isaac took off in the shuttle he plotted the course to London and hopped that everything was alright there, he wanted payback for all the deaths that the reapers had caused.
Present Day
Outside London
0745 Hours
Isaac hopped that he was going the right way and that his navigation skills were actually working for him, he sighed at that very thought as he continued to fly the shuttle towards what he believed was London City. The shuttle however had other ideas it began to shake violently and drop. Isaac was a little bit worried right about now as he tried to keep the shuttle in flight. “Come on don’t fail me now. We’re almost there.” The shuttle didn’t listen to Isaac at all, it had a mind of his own as it came crashing down to what was known to the locals as no man’s land. Now Isaac had to walk his way to the city and avoid any husks that may be around.[/blockquote]
