I don't make boards, ever. I could not find a section of forum dedicated to the books. So I decided to post this in the most active area.

** What I need is as much description of of the MC's physical character as the books give. Facial features, hair color and style etc. Based on these facts, not your personal view, I will make a portrait of the MC as accurate as I can and post it for everyone to see.

"The picture in the file showed a typical six-year-old male. He had touseld brown hair and a sly grin that revealed a gap between his front teeth. A few freckles were speckled across his cheeks. Good-she could match patterns to confirm his identity."

he's also taller than the other six-year-olds by a full head and stronger too. but ill manered and rude.

That is a great description of his younger self, but I was hoping to make a portrait of his current age.

Sixty-something I believe he is.

You are wrong BRASH, they can freeze him and keep him young.

Lol. I love the coments by the kids and those who know flawed english ^_^

Based on the books, I was sure his age could reach to the 60s. 34 seems more appropriate though.

Yup. During the time Halo and Halo 2 take place, he is 41 years old.

he stands like nearly 7 feet tall in his Mjolnir armor. They never really gave much detail to what his older self looks like. they told you about hiim when he was 6 though.

That's good enough. I was sure they mentioned something about him having crew black hair. I think when he was in uniform and asked to speak with ONI.

Master Chief John -117 has very pale skin (because he likes to be in his armour) and as J 117 correctly pointed out, is 41 years old.

Ok, Really pale skin, bald, and caucassian. And On the halo2 trailer, the early one, for anyone who knows anime, doesnt he sound a little like spike from Cowboy bebop?

Spike has a more boyish voice, but that depends. The Japanses version's actor has a deeper voice. MC is so gruff that I can't picture an adaquate view of him. I really think the original voice was synthesized.

No, Steve Downs did MC's voice.

Has anyone actually seen a pic of Steve D.? I've searched several articles on him, but none had a picture.

Ehhhh.....no. The Master Chief is, in the year 2552, 41 years old. He was born in 2511, and recruited into Project: ORION/SPARTAN-II in 2517, at the age of 6.

Ok, didn't read above and didn't realize that this had already been corrected.
