==Biography==
===Old Town Native===
Born on Earth on December 18, 2503, Kyser Connolly was a resident of , part of the larger in the provincial Ohio located in the United Republic of North America. His upbringing was fairly typical of a young, well-off Earth resident living in the Cleveland suburban-urban mix.
He had his two loving, married parents, Thomas and Heather Connolly, and a tough older sister named Salter. They lived out of a suburban three-story home a lengthy thirty-minute drive from the Cleveland city center but did not own a family car, favoring public transportation instead. The Connolly parents worked for a software development company specializing in civilian-oriented technology. Salter and Kyser attended school and things were generally good. The Connolly family lived a stable, sufficient lifestyle. The concept of war, like the , was a far-off concept.
Salter and Kyser went off to college, graduated, married themselves off to loving spouses. Their parents eventually retired to a countryside retirement village near Chicago and Lake Michigan. Salter worked her way into clinical work as a small-time pharmacist in downtown Cleveland. Kyser joined the Greater Cleveland Police Department and worked his way up in his local precinct. His wife, Joy Duceppe, worked as an operating room nurse.
Life was rather quiet, uneventful, with exception to a hiccup regarding the news that Joy Duceppe had a high chance of infant mortality due to family genetics and bodily difficulties. While easily correctible, between their long work hours and the news that Salter was already planning a pregnancy in the near future, the couple simply decided to dodge the issue. The was raging at this point, and little by little, word came out about colonies being glassed by aliens every few months. First, it was , then a dozen more were attacked and scorched.
The fear of the was becoming more real every day. Even when the worlds burned were some of the furthest-known colonies in Earth's sphere of influence, the threat was alarming. Something in Kyser's life needed to change and so he acted, first returning to college to receive higher education in criminal law then he turned around and applied for a direct commission as an officer in the reserves. After completion of his training, and evaluation, he was assigned to the Ohio National Guard and Army Military Police Corps.
From there he occasionally did work for the UNSC Army but continued to prioritize his regular life as a police officer. Life carried on, simple enough. Years passed and more planets were glassed and refugees moved to Earth, running for their lives. Life occasionally got rough but it was still home, Kyser lived his life well and took care of his family. And then in October 2552, the Covenant found Earth.
