## Overview

Master Chief is a Spartan warrior who saved the world from aliens and sharks but has fallen upon rough times, so he moves into Hippo's house. He made his debut in "Every Time I go to Chipotle This Happens" but didn't speak or become a main character in the following episode "Master Chief gets Bullied Over his Waifu".

Master Chief had a voice generated via a text-to-speech program, but eventually he was given a new voice which was provided by theboldone.

## Personality

Master Chief tends to act the most traditionally masculine of the main cast. Due to his history of a being space solider, he often comes off across as tough, cool, and stoic. This makes him a direct contrast to Astolfo, who is incredibly feminine and eccentric. Master Chief often has to play the 'straight man' to the wackier antics of Astolfo as well as Hippo. Because of this, he's often the target for their teasing/roasting.

Master Chief appears to enjoy hanging out, playing video games, and going to fast food joints like most of the main cast. While he tries to be laid back and play it cool, he will eventually snap if he's egged on enough, whether it's a violent retaliation involving use of his trademark weapons, or him having an over dramatic reaction. He has a habit of saying "Shut it" as his personal way to tell people to stop talking whether it's because they're annoying him or because they turned out to be right.

Master Chief tends to deny his attraction and relationship with Astolfo, even if it's obvious that they were together. He's likely trying to protect his manly image due to Astolfo being a femboy. It's clear he doesn't like the idea of people thinking he's gay (though it's more likely Master Chief is bisexual all things considered). This is why he can sometimes be too rough with Astolfo, why he's willing to shoot Astolfo, why he refuses Astolfo's help, and why he denies Astolfo a hug.

After becoming rich, Master Chief took on the persona of "Johnny117CheckThePecs". He changed his entire demeanor to acting like a tough guy, albeit in a much more obnoxious (and douchey) way, such as emphasizing his muscles, his attire, and the fact that he's (supposedly) "100% straight". Though (thankfully) this didn't last long.

Master Chief has a very high opinion of himself, going as far as to say he is with out flaw in "Don't Trust the Mailman", or comparing himself to a PS5 when he sold out. He considers himself a perfect male role model for Yellow Jacket to follow. He doesn't like the idea of being a femboy, and while he seemed to enjoy wearing Astolfo's clothes by the end of "Master Chief Becomes a Femboy (The Anime)", this was likely a side effect of Astolfo's clothes having feminizing properties. Master Chief never did anything like this again and he even punched Walter White in the face for daring to suggest that he become a Femboy again.

While Master Chief is often the most level headed, he will impulsively do what he feels he needs to do in order to get what he wants. He didn't hesitate to suplex Astolfo in hopes of winning Jiko's affections, turning to a life of crime to pay off a ticket, or hunt down Jiko for Pizza Hut just so he could pay rent.

## History

Prior to the Hippo Saga, Master Chief was abducted by the government as a child, when he was forced to fight over-taxed space farmers, fight off land sharks, and stop an alien invasion. Unfortunately afterwards he couldn't find any work due to a four year gap in his resume when he was cryogenically frozen in deep space. And his military pension was cancelled after he went AWOL to chase his imaginary, AI girlfriend, Cortana.

After moving in with Hippo, Master Chief had to find a way to pay rent, so he went GameStop in hopes he could get rich selling his used games. He ended up trying to sell Astolfo and a copy of Lego Indiana Jones 2 for store credit to the bisexual cashier. But upon the cashier threatening to spam Master Chief's inbox, they escaped and Astolfo agreed to pay his rent because he couldn't live without Master Chief. However, Master Chief declined, stating he didn't need Astolfo's "Simp bucks".

He reluctantly continued his job hunt when he needed to pay to fix the washing machine, and after Astolfo painted his armor pink he applied for a job at Femboy Hooters. Master Chief and Doomguy competed for the job, but he lost because he wasn't confident enough.

At the conclusion of *Master Chief gets Robbed at his Sleepover*, Chief is recruited to Walter White's drug operation in exchange for a "gamer amount of money" in order to pay for the ticket Chief had been fined for breaking Astolfo's Iphone 3 by the Anime Police Girl.

During the events of "Simping Bad", Master Chief has a completely different demeanor and changes his personality (likely due to his attraction to Astolfo giving him an identity crisis and the money he was making), now calling himself "Johnny117CheckThePecs". His business with Walter White was successful as Master Chief can now afford expensive clothes. However, due to Walter White simping away all their money on an E-girl (who turned out to be Anime Guy) Master Chief was back to square one.

In You Buy a Catgirl GF off Amazon, Chief orders a catgirl girlfriend on Amazon named Jiko who initially rejects him as she already has a boyfriend to Chief's dismay but immediately comes around when she informs him that she will break up with her boyfriend if Chief gives her free stuff. Chief ends up breaking up with Astolfo and even moved out in favor of a potential relationship with Jiko, but this went nowhere as it turned out Jiko was after Anime Guy.

Master Chief isn't seen again until "Anime Girls VS Pizza Hut" in which he's wearing new white power armor covered in brand logos, now working under Pizza Hut as a member of the Pizza police. He and his unit attempted to bring in Jiko for "trying to out pizza the hut". They end up getting thwarted by the two, leaving Pizza Hut with a ruined reputation and Master Chief with out work again.

Astolfo offers master chief to move back in with him, but Master Chief refuses. In the following episode (How to get a goth GF w/ a Dump Truck on Tinder), it's revealed that Master Chief was so bitter about that defeat that he ended up burning down Astolfo's home, prompting Astolfo and others to have to move in with Tahu. Ironically, Master Chief seems to have moved into Tahu's apartment as well (likely from being unable to pay rent due to losing his last job).

Master Chief isn't seen again until "Why is my Home School Teacher so Cute" where he's now in an apron making breakfast for Hippo (Likely owing him after burning his house). He also attempts to teach the delivery boy how to be a man.

After Hippo's home was repaired, it seems Master Chief has moved back in, as after Indiana Jones punched Astolfo hard enough to spill his hair dye all over the floor (as well as Master Chief's armor, ding it pink again), he is seen trying to clean it up in the following episode. Due Master Chief's armor being pink again, Turskit would end up inviting Master Chief to her All Girls Slumber Party (Which he attended, albeit seemingly against his will).

## Relationships

### Astolfo

    Master Chief plays the straight man to Astolfo's silly antics and is often the biggest target of Astolfo's non-stop teasing and flirting.

We first see Master Chief and Astolfo interact in Master Chief gets Bullied Over his Waifu where their exchange heavily implies that the two of them are in a relationship (or at least are having relations) as Astolfo teases Master Chief about what they had done together the previous night. which Master Chief denies.

Master Chief denying his relationship with Astolfo is a reoccurring joke through out the series, despite how strongly implied they are to be a couple. This is likely because Master Chief can't accept that Astolfo is male yet he's still attracted to him, as Master Chief is implied to prefer women. While he could be bisexual, Astolfo seems to be the exception as Master Chief has never shown attraction to other males. The only time he doesn't deny Astolfo being his boyfriend is in Simping Bad, but he continues to insist that he's "100% straight" (As Master Chief wants to protect his macho image).

    Astolfo is always teasing Master Chief and even antagonizing him, which had lead to Master Chief reacting violently and getting easily annoyed with him (Such as saying that DOOM has a better sound track than Halo, or painting his armor Pink to get him a job at Femboy Hooters) . Master Chief often reacts violently to this by roughing up Astolfo and or even attempting to shoot him, but Astolfo is more than strong enough to turn the tables. Master Chief acknowledges Astolfo's strength and never under estimates him, which might explain why he never holds back against him.

Astolfo often tries to act cute and affectionate to try to manipulate Master Chief, but most of the time it doesn't work (At least not in public). Despite how much they get under each other's skin, the two of them do seem to enjoy hanging out with each other and and care about one another to the point where Master Chief allows Astolfo to sleep in the same bed with him.

However, this did not stop Master Chief from attempting to sell Astolfo to GameStop for store credit, or even attempting to replace Astolfo with a new cat girl girlfriend. This eventually results in Astolfo and Master Chief splitting up with Master Chief moving out. While Astolfo is willing to allow Master Chief to move back in with him again, Master Chief denies the offer.

The fact that Master Chief offered Astolfo to "pretend to date him again" shows he still likes him, but still denies his true feelings. Astolfo is certain that Master Chief still loves him, as when Tahu points out that Master Chief burnt Astolfo's house down, Astolfo responds by saying it was a "misguided romantic gesture".

The two continue to hang out as friends regardless, even if their relationship hasn't changed much.

### Hippo

Master Chief is another of Hippo's room mates who pays him rent to live under his roof.

The two of them seem to have a similar relationship to that of Hippo and Anime Guy/Unnamed Room Mate, with the two casually hanging out but also some times clashing, as well as Master Chief playing the straight man to Hippo's antics. Hippo tends to bring up and even make fun of the fact that Master Chief had an AI girlfriend in Cortana and lost everything trying to pursue her. While Astolfo and Hippo tend to roast Master Chief and get on his nerves, Master Chief seems more patient with Hippo (though this might be because Hippo is his land lord).

But Hippo is willing to help Master Chief with advice (like suggesting he sell used games at GameStop for extra money or suggesting Master Chief ask Jiko what her gender was when Chief was having a melt down of uncertainty) and give him positive encouragement every now and then (Like when he encouraged him to be himself at Femboy Hooters). While Master Chief did try to burn down Hippo's house (as stated by Jiko in "How to get a goth GF w a Dump Truck on Tinder") Hippo never held a grudge against Master Chief for doing so (though whether it's because of Hippo's chill attitude or because of Hippo simply doesn't know is unknown).

Interestingly enough, in "Master Chief gets Bullied Over his Waifu", Master Chief suggests that Hippo "Activate the rings" (A giant ring shaped super weapon that can destroy all sentient life with a nervous system on the planet) in order to defeat Astolfo, though Hippo declines doing so. It is unknown if Hippo really does have the authority or power to activate the rings at will (and if Master Chief gave Hippo that authority/power himself). Though even if he did, Hippo would likely never do it because it would also assure his own destruction, and he likely just doesn't feel like doing it).

It's also worth noting that Hippo knew more about Master Chief's past than even Astolfo did, as he knew about Master Chief losing his military pension after going AWOL to chase after Cortana (who was now "off being evil in space"). It's likely that Master Chief told him all of this himself at some point, as they are seen hanging out. He was also seen carrying Hippo and letting him sit on his lap in "Master Chief gets Annoyed at Gamestop" (Including in the end where there's still an empty seat available) which could further imply them being good friends.

### Yellow Jacket

    Master Chief first met Yellow Jacket when he was working as a delivery boy. When he stopped by with a delivery, Master Chief called him "An impressionable beta-male" (and to be fair, he wasn't wrong) and desired to turn him into a "chiseled sand god". Yellow Jacket just went along with it and didn't question anything (even seemingly forgetting about the delivery he was there to make).

Unlike other characters, Master Chief seems to actually want to help Yellow Jacket be more macho, even if just for selfish reasons. In the episode "Guys I Lost the Fight at Waffle House :(" he warns Yellow Jacket to escape from the "All Girl's Slumber Party" to avoid the humiliation of being seen as "one of the girls".

## Trivia

* Master Chief is seen next to Unnamed Roommate in "Every Time I go to Chipotle This Happens" just before "Master Chief gets Bullied Over his Waifu" where he became part of the main cast of characters.
* Master Chief shares a lot in common with Tahu. Both try to maintain their macho image, both are willing to pull out guns and start blasting when things escalate, both tried to flaunt their fake designer shoes (and the fact that they were wearing Gucci), both wear gold chains around their necks, both have given advice on how to be manly, and both seem to have some insecurities which they deny. Both of them are even attracted to Astolfo (Though Master Chief denies his attraction to Astolfo while Tahu openly admits it). Though they're still opposites in that Master Chief is level headed and plays it cool while Tahu is hot headed and aggressive
* Oddly enough, Master Chief and Tahu have yet to directly interact with each other despite their similarities.
* Two characters have tried to make Master Chief into a femboy. The first was Astolfo in "Master Chief Becomes a Femboy (The Anime)" and Walter White in "Simping Bad" (Though of the two, Astolfo was actually successful).
* Master Chief's power armor has been painted pink twice. The first time was when Astolfo painted his armor pink in "Master Chief Becomes a Femboy" and the second time was in "Indiana Jones raided my panty drawer" when his white armor gets splashed with Astolfo's pink hair dye, dying his armor pink in the process, and it has remained pink since.
* Master Chief has suplexed two people (that we know of), Astolfo, and a Grandma in a Walmart parking lot.
* Chief is wary of the furry community. In "You Buy a Catgirl GF off Amazon", he warns Astolfo not to make fun of the furry community, stating that If they can afford a $2000 fur suit, they can afford a $10 pipe bomb in his mail box. Later in "Don’t Trust the Mailman", he gets paranoid about a mysterious package that Turskit is about to open and stops her to ask "Wait! Who sent that? Was it the furry community? Are they still after me?" It is unknown if Master Chief has negative history with furries or if it's just paranoia.
* While two soldiers in blue spartan armor appear in Lego halo battle (deleted scene), it's unknown if either of these two are Master Chief himself as it's never directly stated and neither of them speak. Master Chief has never worn blue through out the entirety of the Hippo Saga either.
* Master Chief is seen using some of his actual weapons and vehicles from the HALO franchise in several videos. He uses his MA5B assault rifle and the Anskum-pattern plasma grenade in "Master Chief gets Bullied Over his Waifu". He also tries to shoot Astolfo with a M90 shotgun in " Master Chief Becomes a Femboy (The Anime)". He is also seen driving his M12 Chaingun Warthog in "Master Chief gets annoyed at GameStop" and later a Karo'etba-pattern Scout Bike in "Don't Trust the Mailman".
* In "Anime Girls vs Pizza Hut", he is using the MA5B assault rifle that functions like a M6 Spartan Laser, as instead of bullets, it fires a powerful laser beam and requires time to recharge between shots. It's likely that Pantsahat simply didn't have a toy accessory/model of the M6 Spartan laser, so he reused the MA5B assault rifle toy accessory from previous episodes as a substitute.
