Subject: Is This Allowed?

I want to write a story and i really love Halo.

Now i don't actually want to write a story about Halo but i do want to use certain things such as Spartans and the covenant and i guess some other things.

Am i allowed to use this in a story but i just change the names so not call it the Covenant but something else.

Is this allowed?
Is there any copyright on that?

Basically create my complete own story but set in a sort of world as halo!

Death and Destruction! Ooh-Rah!

I have, I know people who have.

I mean, do you want to publish it? or just use it as a hobby?

Depends how it turns out in the end.

If it is really good and people like it than i would consider finding a way to publish it.

Will this be allowed still?

Well, yes. And no.

Do you wish to create a Halo story, perhaps on another planet or, timeline?

I want to create my complete stand alone story that is all made up by me, no halo story included.

All i want to use is some stuff like Spartans and the covenant but implant these in my own sort of way.

Plus rename them and things like that.

I be looking back at this tomorrow going to sleep now.

ps: i know if i create a halo story in different timeline and planet i wouldn't be able to publish it.

Um...I think you should consult with Bungie, first. Because you are using the Spartans and The Covenant, and that's copyright.

How'd you find me?

Well the names are, but if he changes them so the characters and the species in his story are similar, but not the same, I think it's fine.

Ok. Well yeah, the species are the same nearly but i change them in ways like names and other things.
