I'm okay with this design.
A second human-esque species is fine, considering all of the varied species that already exist. They don't all need to have "alien" designs.
They should though. You can see they have gills, so they should have a lot of aquatic influence on their physiology. Having a human-sequel shape is fine, but it needs to be distorted more. He's even wearing a human shirt fitting his body comfortably.
There's nothing that states that alien species can't have a physic similar to a Human.

Aside from the sheer improbability of it.

>Sci Fi with with God like species
> Improbability

We know barely anything about the Yohnet to make such a claim yet.

I'm talking about the improbability of life evolving on another planet (a moon actually), presumed semi-aquatically going by the gills, would look so much like humans. The covenant are a tad more probably, with each having their own gate and facial structures. The only exception were the forerunners, who are the sort of alien cousins of humans.

Like I said, we know next to nothing about the Yohnet. I think it's best we wait for more more info about them before we start screaming improbability.

Looks like a blind batarian.

Would be cool if the FoR theory about the Covenant simultaneously fighting off another alien empire was true though.

When the Yonhet initially came in contact with the Covenant, they were viewed as militarily insignificant

as well as posing no real military threat to Covenant empire.



Those two statements are separate and spaced out for a reason.
Try not to poorly format your post  then.

It's not poorly formatted. When you separate statements they're supposed to be taken as separate statements. Never mind the fact that context clues alone should tell you I'm not talking about the blind batarians when I'm referring to a competing alien empire.

Had I done this

You would be correct.


However I didn't so it's not my fault you misunderstood. Next time try apologizing if you wrongly assume someones intentions or politely ask for clarification if you have a hard time understanding.

Still sounds implausible, given that the Fringe species were never conquered because they didn't pose a militaristic threat.

I separated both of those statements for a reason.
What I say still applies. The Covenant Fringe were just that, a fringe.

In the FoR it was theorized that the reason the covies weren't going ham on humanity even though they easily could have was because most of their forces were actually diverted to fighting a war against a competing alien empire. I was just stating that it would be cool if that theory was actually true and there was a competing alien empire that was now able to push through covenent controlled space and interact with both the UNSC and the now broken covenant.

I'm inferring that the Sharquoi are confirmed as a fringe species now from this.

Actually, it was The Impossible Life and Possible Death of Preston. J Cole, in Halo: Evolutions.

I know, but nothing we have indicates to that theory being revived.

343 is putting their own spin on the franchise and creating more lore that doesn't effect the rest

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Wait, you mean that isn't a picture of a Batarian?

Looks interesting, so these guys work for the covenant?
