Alright, in brief, this idea revolves around the Vanissan's Blades, a regiment of the Imperial Guard who can trace their lineage back to the Great Crusades and Horus Heresy (in the form of the Imperial Army, then). These rather noble roots mean that the regiment is rather proud of its past, forming its regimental layout after the Imperial Army regiment of their past, which would be 8 divisions. In essence, players will be from these divisions, playing the part of various members of the regiment, from the elite Grenadier forces, to the regular line forces, officers, NCO's, and the like. The regiment itself is being fleshed out more as I'm writing this, but here's a few things about them for informative purposes.
-Named after a minor saint, Saint Vanis, who was fabled to be the last man of the Imperial Army regiment that died holding a forge world against the traitor marines during the Horus heresy.
-A smaller regiment than others, it is compensated with much higher quality equipment, armor such as carapace far more common than normal.
-They carry a pride about their swords, even the lowliest trooper having a sword in exchange for the knives that are normally issued, the higher the rank of the soldier, the higher quality and potential his sword.
- 8 Divisions within the regiment, the current plan for the layout is a Command division, Grenadier Division, Mechanized division, 2 regular Infantry divisions, a heavy weapons/engineering division, and a recon division. This is the current layout, though it, and all information on them thus far, is subject to potential change.
So, would anyone be interested in an RP following the story of these Guardsmen, from the information given so far? More will be disclosed as its come up with and fleshed out, but for now, figured if anyone would be interested.
