Master Chief (Halo)

Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, also known as simply the Master Chief, is the main protagonist of the Halo franchise.
He is an Spartan-II commando of the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command who became one of the most important UNSC heroes during the Human-Covenant war.
With over thirty years of active duty, he has become one of the most decorated war veterans in the United Nations Space Command, earning every known UNSC medal except the Prisoner of War Medallion. His goal is to save humanity from hostile alien races.
He is voiced by Steve Downes, David Wald in Halo Legends, and Alex Pccinelli in Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn. He is portrayed by Pablo Schreiber in Halo: The Series.
==Personality==
John's personality is more explored in the books than the games, so the players can more imagine themselves as the Master Chief, which is what he is intended to be, but he does have a personality. In the games he is stoic, taciturn, and lucky. In the books he is the same, but is known to be more expressive and open-minded. He can be pretty negative, and described as being a pessimist often times. He also has a close friendship with Cortana, who possesses a deep personal loyalty to him.
==Powers and Abilities==
Master Chief/John-117 is an enhanced human, especially with his MJOLNIR armor, and has been augmented in a number of ways designed to increase battlefield performance. Said augmentation include: superhuman strength, reflexes and stamina as well as virtually unbreakable bones.
==Appearances in other media==
===Fortnite===
Master Chief famously appeared in the viral battle royale game, Fortnite, appearing in the game as a guest character in 2020. He is not a playable character, but rather an outfit that the player could buy from the digital shop using V-Bucks from December 11 to December 18, 2020. Memes have been created about this character regarding how ignorant little kids may be unaware that Master Chief is from a well-respected video game series, Halo, making fun of little kids by making skits of people saying that "the guy from Fortnite" was stolen by Halo Infinite, the upcoming 6th installment in the Halo franchise set to come out in 2021. 
===Halo Legends===
The Chief appeared in an anime series titled Halo Legends which was overseered by 343 Industries and (unusally) developed by multiple studios, meaning not every episode has the same animation. It delves into the Halo lore and then shows more about it than just Master Chief, such as his friend Frederic-104, as well as original stories of new characters and settings. 
===Ready Player One===
Master Chief makes a brief cameo appearance in the 2018 science fiction film Ready Player One, adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name. Multiple Spartans can briefly be seen fighting the IOI's Sixers with Halo 4 MA5D Assault Rifles, assisting the High-5 in their final fight. 
===Robot Chicken===
Master Chief appears in the infamous Adult Swim stop-motion animation series Robot Chicken, where he is parodied and made fun of. Comically, his personality is a complete opposite to his original personality, as Master Chief is shown as incompetent and distractable. Due to this, Cortana and Sergeant Johnson are not able to effectively cooperate with him, as shown when Chief has an uncomfortable conversation with Cortana instead of focusing on the battle, and forgets to bring his gun to the battlefield in a critical moment. Master Chief supposedly died from an Elite that only got him due to his inattentiveness during the short with Cortana, "Halo Dick", set in Halo 4.
===Super Bomberman R===
Master Chief appeared as a playable character in the Nintendo Switch launch title Super Bomberman R, the first entry to the series in over 6 years. He doesn't officially appear in the game until it was ported onto the Xbox One in 2018, and Master Chief is only playable on that console. 
===Brawlhalla===
Master Chief appeared in the indie fighting game Brawlhalla, where he can battle agenst the many Legends and other crossover characters, with the help of a Forerunner Monitor.
==Trivia==
*Named eight greatest video game character ever by Electronic Gaming Monthly.
*An achievement called "Splatster Chief" worth 15 Gamerscore is unlocked under the requirements, "Complete all levels of Septic Avenger", in the 2008 hit video game Saints Row 2.
*A medieval take on Master Chief's armor is in the 2008 video game Fable 2, called Hal's Outfit. Hal was an ancient hero who was known as the Master Chief, and everything about him appears to be a Halo reference. Hal's Outfit can be obtained from a code you'll receive if you manage to find the collector's edition of the game.
