Description This one takes a little explanation. Project FREELANCER in it's early days. I figure they would recruit only the very best of the best soldiers of the UNSC. Whether they were marines, ODSTs, or any other branch. Which is why Wash and Maine(the blurry one) are in ODSt "dress blues" and everyone else is either marine or navy. For whatever reason their "blues" look identical.

The idea here is this was a photo of the first soldiers to graduate from traing into fullfledged agents, but just prior to the AI experiments that tore the group apart turning friends into hated enemies. So everyone here is very optimistic looking. They knew they were the best and that they were going to be the ones to win the war against the Covenant. So Wash dosen't have his trademark scars and Wyoming has a little bit more hair on his head than in Luke Mckay's design. Also I don't believe in showing Maine/Meta's face unless someone from Rooster Teeth says what he looks like, so I blurred him out after I drew him. This pic goes with a fanfic that my girlfriend is currently writing. Please check her out at her page: [link]

Left to Right: North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, Texas, New York, Wyoming, and Maine right behind Wash and Tex.

The story is that, shortly after the graduation ceremony, the Director of Project FREELANCER, Dr. Leonard Church took this photo of his top recruits. Of course at the last second Maine decides to be funny and gives Wash bunny ears just as the camera flashes blurring his face.

:EDIT: My girlfriend has put up her story to this pic. So here it is. I hope everyone enjoys it. So here is part of our collaboration Memory Wash- The Graduation [link]

You are. This was done around when they were still doing season 8 or had just finished, before they started revealing faces. South was based on Luke Mckay's original design and I based North's look on her. On one hand we now know what the FREELANCER's look like. Unfortunately it makes my version very out dated.

My thought was, because carolina is the daughter of the director, she was left out because these were the graduation of the soldiers they picked for the project. Carolina was always going to be in the project due to her father so there was really no big transition for her so she just stayed out of their picture


Just a quick, weird head canon I had for your drawing

This was based on the idea that Maine and Wash were good friends before all the A.I.s and crap went down. So Maine is being a goof and moves at the last second the picture is being taken and becomes blurred.

True, but I when I did this picture it was a long time before we knew exactly when he had his injury. So this was done with the idea of the picture being taken before things started going wrong.

Sorry for the late reply. Carolina not being there was when I did this the only info there was on her was that she had two AI and died, so not really much for me to go on, so I didn't really think about it. If I were to redo this pic now it would reflect the cannon version of FREELANCER.

Perhaps my only complaint is I would've liked it had Maine's face been more hidden and unrecognizable. Here, i can tell what he looked like. I am all for the idea of hiding what he used to look like, but its execution was slightly off

This provesthat Wash and Meta were best friends before Meta went insane. Although I would've thought Tex was an ODST as well do to her agresive behavior.

I like the old photo feel to it, as well as blurred-out Maine. It's very... Appropriate.
