[i]It all happened so quickly. One moment, the sergeants were barking orders for the troops to form up for disembarkation, the next, chaos. Alarms started blaring, the speakers repeated the same monotone evacuation warnings, the ship was shaking and people were climbing over each other to get in the life pods. On the one hand, you were lucky. You managed to make it onto one of the life pods. On the other hand... you're separated from your unit, dropping onto a planet you know little about with people you know even less and you don't even know what the hell happened. All you know is that you're safe... for now.[/i] [i]Emperor preserve us in the days to come.[/i] --- So, here's the premise: You are a passenger on the [i]Kestrel of Luggnum[/i], an Imperial troop transport, either a member of the Imperial Guard or a member of an Inquisitor's warparty. The ship suffers critical damage from an unknown source and everyone is forced to evacuate to the life pods. The PCs all end up in the same life pod and it is launched into the unknown. More information will be revealed as the RP progresses, but for now, I want to keep the party in the dark. [hider=Infirmation on the planet Sisk]Sisk is a feudal world. This means that the planet is ruled by a land-owning noble caste, and its technology level is barely beyond gunpowder. The Imperial presence in the system is largely centered in several orbital void stations. The planet's surface is hospitable, but unpleasant. Moors, swamps and forests dominate the landscape. Sisk is also known for an uncharacteristically high mutant population. The human population live in walled cities and fortified towns to protect themselves from roving bands of mutant cannibals. Sisk mutants are identifiable by the extra joints they possess in their arms and legs, giving them a distinct and disturbing gait.[/hider] --- Character sheets: Name/Rank: (Your character's full name and rank, if applicable.) Age: (I will accept nothing under 18. Minors don't belong in the Guard.) Gender: (Duh) Organization: (What groups does your character belong to? If IG, include regiment.) Appearance: (Pic or paragraph, your choice. Or both if you want.) History: (At least a paragraph.) Personality: (Same as above.) Equipment/Wargear: (List it now or forever hold your peace.)

Other: (Anything that you want to add that doesn't fit in the other categories.) Rules and Guidelines Rules: #1: Don't be a jerk. Or you will get BLAMMed. Forum rules. #2: Please have a working knowledge of the 40k universe. If you're already here, than you've most likely already succeeded at this rule. I've seen [s]and been[/s] the kinda guy who mucks with 40k canon out of ignorance so it becomes more of a 40k fanfic, and its usually gone wrong. Please don't be that person. #3: Please post at least 1 paragraph once every two days to keep things going. This is the only rule I am willing to be flexible with, but only if you follow Rule #4. #4: If for whatever reason (work, personal issue, too many RPs at once, absence, laziness) you cannot meet the 1 post every 2 day requirement, LET ME KNOW ASAP. This is so I know you have an excuse and aren't just leaving and/or so we can work something out. #5: If for whatever reason (same as above) you do not want to continue in this RP, LET ME KNOW ASAP. Well, not exactly ASAP, but just let me know. #6: NO SPEEDPOSTING. OR YOU WILL GET BLAMMED. I've seen [s]and been[/s] this kinda guy enough times to know its not cool. #7: No Godmodding, Mary Sue/Marty Stu crap, etc. I WILL call you out on it. #8: Have fun. That's an order. (Bonus points if you can tell me where this comes from.) #9: To make sure you all read the rules (the important ones are #2, 3 and 4), I ask that you add the following phrase to your Character Sheets, either at the beginning or the end, it doesn't matter. [center][i][b]Ave Imperator. Morituri te salutant.[/b][/i][/center] Guidelines: -If you want to include inter-character romance, go ahead. Just keep it PG-13. Forum rules. -I would like all your characters to be believable/realistic/not ridiculously overpowered. If I think you aren't following this (or breaking rule #7), I'll let you know. -Feel free to post casual conversation on the OOC. It doesn't have to be 40k related either. -If you want to bring something to my attention (say I haven’t reviewed your CS yet) you can always PM me. This may be more reliable than the OOC if we're stocking it with open chatter. -I want this to be a fun RP, so have fun, and try to follow the rules. --- +++IMPERIAL RECORDS OF HIS MAJESTEY’S HOLY INQUISITION+++ +++WARNING: CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS. CLEARANCE INSUFFICIENT FOR FULL RECORDS+++ +++IMPERATOR PROTEGIT+++ [b]Name/Rank[/b]: Interrogator Rayvius Skalterion [b]Age[/b]: 36 [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]Organization[/b]: The Inquisition, Ordo Xenos [b]Appearance[/b]: [hider=Access File][img=http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/039/a/d/robot_eye_by_veneq-d5ub6qg.jpg][/hider] [b]History[/b]: Rayvius Skalterion was born on the world of . At the age of 14, he was taken to the Mechanichus Seminary of , though he was ill suited for the life of rules and religious contemplation. He entered 's world of data hustling and cogitator cracking, and slowly became arguably the planet's best cogitator wizard. In the year , he was befriended by Inquisitor Henerius Case electronically, seeking assistance in an investigation. After Rayvius rendered aid above and beyond what was required, Inquisitor Case offered him a position in his retinue. Taking to the work, he became Inquisitor Case's Interrogator. [b]Personality[/b]: Ray is an informal person, rarely referring to someone by title, rank or honorific and often applying nicknames to his colleagues; he simply calls his Inquisitor Mentor 'boss.' He generally shows a disregard for the rules, especially the little ones he considers pointless. The reason he hasn't been kicked out of the Inquisition is because he loves what he does and he's damn good at it, and Inquisitor Case appreciates the kind of drive he possess. He enjoys puzzles and will often shut out the rest of the world to solve them. Normally, if he faces an obstacle he cannot overcome, he simply tries harder, though with Inquisitor Case's advice, has learned to step back and take a break, which more often than not, refocuses him on the task. Ray is not much of a fighter, and doesn't relish the idea of taking someone else's life, but he has done it before, and will do so again. [b]Equipment/Wargear[/b]: Laspistol with 2 extra clips. Augmentic Eye, implanted (left eye), customized to show data feeds, built in comm-bead. Mind Impulse Unit, implanted (spine). Interface Mechadendrite, implanted (left arm). Inquisitorial electoo (left hand). Modified Storm Coat. Flak Armor, custom fitted. Bodyglove, black. Portable Cogitator, customized, reinforced environment-proof case. Lho-stick case with built in lucifer. [b]Skills/Abilities[/b]: [u]Cogitator Whiz[/u]: Rayvius knows cogitators inside and out, how to hack into one and do whatever he wants with it. [u]Basic Combat Training[/u]: Ray has received basic combat, hand-to-hand and firearms training, but is by no means a fighter. [u]Binary Literate[/u]: Rayvius is familiar with the Mechanicus language of Binary. He cannot speak it and he cannot understand spoken Binary, as it is spoken far too fast for unaugmented ears, but he can read and write it, though far, far slower than a true adept. [b]Other[/b]: Ray likes smoking lho, but hates drinking amasec. He also thinks he looks better clean-shaven. He enjoys Holo-dramas and holo-simulations, and has quite a few stored among his personal files on his portable cogitator. --- [b]Name/Rank[/b]: Inquisitor Henerius Case [b]Age[/b]: [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]Organization[/b]: The Inquisition, Ordo Xenos [b]Appearance[/b]: [hider=Access File][img=http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110830095400/warhammer40k/images/4/4e/Servoskull.jpg][/hider] Few people have met Inquisitor Case in person, including many of his agents. He instead prefers to communicate with then via a series of Servo Skulls.
