_The decadent furnishings of the ship spoke volumes of the guardsmen embarked upon it. As the ship sped through the warp, the guardsmen within prepared for another easy routine assignment. None of them had any idea how wrong that was_

This is a warhammer 40k RP in which you are all guardsmen of the newly created Scintillan Fusiliers 25th regiment. If you've never heard of the scintillan Fusiliers please research it just enough to get the gist of the regiment. Now to explain the story. 

 Your regiment was formed less than one Terran year ago. Being the sons and daughters of the capital planet Scintillan's nobility, the few war zones you have been to have been the same that most Scintillan regiments are deployed to, simple low risk mop ups, quick and simple engagements that end with minimal casualties. Though your training was superb ( though rather standard and orthodox ) you have never been deployed anywhere truly challenging or dangerous, and your most likely very happy about that. Now your regiment is on its way to another routine mop up operation. The planet you have been pointed at is held by the tau. However, due to strain across other more vital parts of their growing empire the forces originally posted on the planet have mostly been moved to more vital warzones. Your regiment is in charge of eliminating the remaining skeleton crew of tau and occupieing the planet.

Name :

Appearance:(I would prefer description over a picture but either can work)

Reason for joining the guard : This one's important. As a noble's daughter or son you probably didn't join out of a " duty to the emperor " Keep that in mind. Maybe your here to rebel against your parents wishes. Maybe your low on the inheritance ladder and need a way to set yourself up as a comfortable administration desk officer. Or maybe you want to earn prestige as an officer. It's up to you. 

Equipment: You all have a Lasgun, Laspistol and knife. Two of you can have one extra specialty weapon, one of you can have medical gear and one of you can have a vox, and the sergeant can replace his Lasgun with a chainsword if he wishes. Keep anything else within reason. 

Backstory:(This can be included in the reason you joined)
