Is there a canon Noble 6?
By this I mean, concerning gender and appearance.
I understand that the basic, default 6 is a placeholder for us, the player, to go forth and create him/her, now it's slightly irritating me.
I want a canonical "proper" 6.
Can the Universe forum find me one?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cmdr DaeFaron I'd personally prefer female Noble Six, just to balance and have a female kickass main char.[/quote] Same here. Halo needs a few kickass women in more prominent roles in the game. There are plenty of 'em in the books, but the games...meh, they've been a bit lacking. I always play the campaign as female Six. Plus I like the voice actor for female Six more as well, I think she did a better job than the male did. I'm pretty sure there is no official canon appearance or gender for Six, if there was then he/she probably would have appeared on the Noble statue that came with the Legendary Edition of Reach. Plus I'm pretty sure they said something about them not creating any real canon or backstory for Six because they wanted the player to do that and didn't want to limit it by having an official canon appearance for him/her.

This whole "choose your gender" crap is for RPGs, not FPSs. Why people care about character customization in a FIRST PERSON SHOOTER(or in any FIRST PERSON game) is beyond me. If I considered Reach canon, I would say Noble 6 is a male, and he would wear the default armor with the UA attachment for his helmet(like in the VGA trailer).

I'd say the default one we saw in the VGA first trailer. Grey armor, default with I think para kneepads? And the UA Mark V(B) helm. That's just me though, who knows. I'd personally prefer female Noble Six, just to balance and have a female kickass main char.

Ya, his name was Thom, and he died months before Reach

Regardless of how you edit his/her armor the storyline is mostly identical(how correct the canon of that storyline is is up for debate but I digress). But I would assume that the male version with default armor would be the most "canon" you're going to get. [Edited on 04.28.2011 9:05 PM PDT]

I've noticed the figures all seem to include the UA attachment, even though no other recent media (that I'm aware of) has included it. I prefer to stick to what's shown in the game, simply because it was created solely by Bungie, but It'd be nice to get some confirmation one way or the other. Not that it's really that important in the grand scheme of Halo canon, though,[/quote] Then possibly it is agreeable that canonically N6 wore all default armour with an undisclosed helmet attachment? Seems to be the way it is panning out.

I think its technically whatever Noble Six you created until further notice.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The Captain097 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Nameless Oracle Just like with ME default male is the canon one.[/quote] Exactly[/quote] Bioware has said that default Shepard is not canon, only default. The only 'canon' for Shepard is they follow the broad outline of the games that are going to be the same for everyone.

If action figure realisation means anything canonically, then N6 is male, wears all default armour with the first helmet attachment.

I remember one Weekly Update that showed noble 6 in default armour running, it was when Bungie was showing the characters to the community. Ill go with that.

Reach =/= canon
-
im sorry but what is a canon
-
In answer to your question...there is no canon Noble 6, he/she is whatever you want him/her to be. And I like it that way, it adds a nice touch to the Halo series. So yeah, the canon Noble Six is whatever you want. [Edited on 04.28.2011 6:01 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RKOSNAKE The canon Noble Six has the default armor except for the helmet, which has the up armored variant.[/quote] This. They did that with Thom as well, I think that the default Mark V[B] armour is symbolism for the role that B312 is taking on. Therefore it's the "canon" version.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BumperJohn 117 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Shellhead [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BumperJohn 117 Male with default armor /thread[/quote] Wasn't that Thom? Since N6 was a "Lone Wolf" I imagined his/her armor having the tactical/recon chest piece, giving him/her self reliance. [/quote] Bungie showed N6 as a default male in the VGA video. That's my reasoning[/quote] Bungie have said that the reason 6 is default is so that the players can mould their own 6. What I want to know is, is there an established canon Noble 6.
