I believe that if it's not-for-profit that it is alright to use, but, I may be wrong.

Dude, if your not selling it, then you can do whatever you want with it. But the second you make a penny off of it...that's when you get in trouble.

Not completely true.

If you take any kind of credit for someone else's intellectual property, you risk legal pursuit. Even if you don't take any such credit, there is the possibility for cease and desist orders.

If I were you, I'd be a little more creative than using someone else's characters for your own video game. Unless you're making a Halo fan game like Halo Zero, chances are it won't fly.

If I made a non-profit game using the halo characters and music, would this be allowed? I'm wondering since I've been thinking about his for a while but I keep getting confused.

If you get permission then you can. That's how Halo characters found their way into Unreal Tournament. Otherwise no deals.
