So guys, I was just checking through the newly released character profiles, and realized both Mickey and The Rookie are from the same city on Luna, otherwise known as the Moon. So I guess the point i'm making is, why do you think Bungie made this obviously intended decision?

Maybe they are childhood friends and Mickey turns on you at the end. Kind of cliche though.

Im surprised no one can come up with a single good reason...

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

Could just be an error. I'm kind of curious why they released some info about the Rookie and let other info be classified. "Cool, so he doesn't have a name. Well, I'll pretend he's me. But I'm not from Luna, nor do we have the same height, bloodtype, weight, etc..." lol

It's fully possible that a random series of coincidences could put two people from the same city in the same elite military unit. For all we know, Dare could be their mother. O.o

I mean I just find it odd that both characters are from the same city, when Bungie had the entire universe to use. Unless its an error, there has to be some reason Bungie intentionally made them have the same home town...

mikie was the rookies chiled hood bully who stole the rookies chips?

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Well, mickey is the youngest of of the ODST's. Him and the Rookie (the word "rookie" indicates he is young) are friends. They enlisted together. Maybe where they are from is a common earth settlement.

Edit: these are my thoughts.

I'm pretty sure there are millions of people that lived in that one city; Just a coincidence.

You people are taking any small detail and exaggerating everything. Not everything is a super crazy insane plot.

There's no such thing as coincidence when it comes to fiction.

I just realized how awesome wrecking the enemy team with a Focus Rifle from atop the Spire is. It's magical. It's like Concussion Rifle vs Sword/Shotgun.

Well why worry they are from the same place just like a friend would be born in the same place no reason to point things out

Perhaps its to help create some background history between the characters and common ground for the characters to interactive within.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

"Rookie" doesn't indicate youth. It indicates how recently you joined up. In this case, it most likely refers to him being a new member of the recently-overtaken squad.

The AR is an awesome weapon, RESPECT IT AS SUCH!!!

there is probably a reason, or maybe they(Bungie) just decided to have two guys from the same place, It's not entirely implausible is it?
