Not sure if anyone else has had these theories too, but here you go. For the record, I don't obsessively study everything about the Bungie universe. Sometimes, a random thing just pops into my head, and things start to click. Anyways, here's what theories I have so far on the namings of the characters on here. If anyone else has theories on these/other characters, feel free to say them!

343: Guilty Spark

Now, we all know Bungie loves the number 7, right? (If you really didn't know that, you shouldn't be a member here.)

Idk why they named it guilty spark, (I mean, really, there isn't always a reason behind everything you name. If I call someone Fred, it's because I can.) but I'm pretty sure where they got the number 343.

7^3 (7 to the 3rd power) = 343. It's as simple as that
What better thing for Bungie to put for Spark than for the lucky jackpot number, 777?

Spartan 117: The Master Chief

This one is more of a theory than anything else. Like the last one, the naming of Chief could be for any reason, so I'm more concerned about the number.

My theory is that the number 117 may be based from the missing colony on Roanoke Island.

-History-
In 1587, a group of 117 English settlers (led by Sir Walter Raleigh and John White) founded a colony on Roanoke Island, off the coast of what is now North Carolina. After going back to England for supplies, John White returned to Roanoke in 1590 to find no trace of the colony that he left behind. The fate of the Roanoke colony still remains a mystery. The only clue was the marking "Croatoan" on a tree.

Perhaps Bungie took an interest in this mystery, like many people do.

This may also have relation to the quote, "Spartans never die, they're just missing in action."

The 343 one has been known forever. It is also likely that MC is 117 only because 007 is James Bond.

I can't say I'm the best, but I can say I'm better than you.

Yea, I figured a lot of people knew about Spark's number.

Either way, I'll go ahead and keep it up there so that the people who didn't know before will know it now.

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Should anyone care about Bungie's sad obsession with the number 7? No (only the extreme fans).

Tag-em and Bag-em.

i thought they named him guilty spark because of the betrayals hee did (like the stuff it says in the terminals you find in campaign idk...n yea the thing bout master chief is probably correct

Spark is 343.
Then Installation 05 has Penitent Tangent 2401.

They're all powers of 7- all the Halo rings.

Soo you're implying that MC's last name is white?

LOL

The Spark one is obvious at this point.
The MC one is easily possible.

Also, anyone notice that there were 7 rings? And that 7 is in the service tag S117? Why is Bungie obsessed with 7 to the point that they'd jump off a bridge to get a sticky note with a 7 on it?
