Hope this is okay. ^^;

• Name/Rank: Trooper Alexis Radclyffe
• Age: 19
• Gender: Female
• Organization: Imperial Guard (Praetorian Guard 39th)
• Appearance: [url=http://moerin-satsuki.deviantart.com/art/WIP-Praetorian-Guard-457606209]Rough sketch, but you get the idea.[/url] Chestnut hair, brown eyes, fair complexion. She wears the traditional red jacket of the Praetorian Guard, and stands at about 173cm/5'8".

• History: Born on the Hive World of Praetoria, Alexis grew up in abject poverty and squallor. Wishing to get away from the overpopulated, polluted and near-hellish conditions of her homeworld, she signed up for the Imperial Guard as soon as she could.

She is still unsure as to whether this was a good idea or not.

The past year has mostly consisted of her having discipline, combat procedures, weapon maintenance and uniform etiquette (often literally) beaten into her. For reasons she is not quite sure of, it always seemed like her commanding officers had it in for her and were even more willing to issue punishments to her for the most minor infringements than her fellow troopers; then again, she's never gotten along well with anyone, especially authority figures. This isn't solely due to her personality either, as unknown to her Alexis is actually a Blank, a rare type of mutant who possesses no presence in the Warp; to put it in the most simplest terms, she is soulless, and others (especially psykers) treat her with inherent suspicion and fear that they can't really explain.

As she's not been with the Guard for long, Alexis hasn't seen too much combat. The only aliens she has ever came into contact with are the Orks, and she has had no real experience with the forces of Chaos. During the only campaign she has previously been a part of, she was quickly assigned the place of her squad's special weapons trooper; although this was mostly out of the subconscious hopes of those in command that this would lead to her being taken out quicker. Her harsh training served her well, however, as most of her squad came back alive (some worse for wear, but it could have been worse), and have now been assigned to the [i]Kestrel of Luggnum[/i] to be sent off to their next combat zone.

• Personality: As a guardsman of Praetoria, Alexis has had iron discipline beaten into her, and does not fear death as she fears what her commanding officers would do to her if she died even more. As such, she is usually very serious and rarely if ever smiles, although this is also partially due to how people have treated her during her life. Despite the best efforts of her superior officers, she still shows a certain disdain for authority figures that stems from being part of a hive gang as a child; whilst she still follows orders dutifully, she will occasionally let slip a sarcastic remark that usually results in a beating for insubordination (she [i]really[/i] should know better by now, but...).

• Equipment/Wargear: 
•• Standard issue lasgun; after a confusing rant from one of her commanding officers about how you should treat your lasgun like a woman, Alexis has decided to name it "Betsy".
•• Flamer; Alexis was the special weapons trooper for her squad, and as she has only seen combat against Orks, naturally the weapon she was equipped with was a flamer. In addition, she has two extra flasks of promethium to use as fuel.
•• Two combat knives, although one is usually attached to her lasgun as a bayonet.
•• Flak Armour, in the style of the Praetorian Guard; it is kept impeccably clean, as not taking care of one's uniform properly results in a beating.
•• Pith helmet
•• Three frag grenades
•• Three krak grenades

• Skills/Abilities: Aside from standard combat training, Alexis is trained in the usage of special weapons such as flamers, grenade launchers, melta guns and plasma guns, although she is most experienced with flamers. Her most notable ability is one that she herself is not aware of: she is a Blank, a psychic null with no warp presence. Whilst this provides her with great resistance to psychic and warp-based threats (including immunity to all direct psychic effects), as well as weakening anything related to such things in her presence, this comes at the cost of her being seeing as a soulless abomination by others. Her mere presence provokes irrational fear, hatred and hostility from others, the effect being notably stronger from psykers.

• Other: It's in her picture, but... [b]AVE IMPERATOR, MORITURI TE SALUTANT![/b] *clicks heels together and salutes*

EDIT: Almost forgot to mention, but let's just say I'm not exactly the paragon of physical health so there might be times when I'm not capable of posting. I apologize in advance for that.
