[hider=Kurt] Name: Kurtis (von) Inri Age: 101 Chapter: The Ultramarines Chapter Demeanour: Organisation, and focus upon the "greater" picture of all events are values placed above all but devotion to the Emperor. They are quite haughty however rightfully so for by means of the Codex Astartes their Chapter has at least limited dominion over all the others. Personal Demeanour: While in truth cold and dutiful he always keeps about a bright smile, verbose speech and makes a show of himself and the Chapter. He will always place the ambitions and wants of himself and the Chapter above the needs and wants of others unless it will somehow damage the Imperium as a whole. While he will often be daring in his actions he will always makes sure that if someone has to die it be another Marine - Kurt wants to sit on Calgar's throne some day. He is not willing to "let things go" until all is to his perfect satisfaction. Speciality: Scout Rank: Scout Sergeant Power Armour History: He's a scout, never got any and only received the suit of carapace all scouts do. It has seen only what he has. Description: 7'2 to the nanometre, he carries himself with an aristocratic gait and looks more like a depiction of one of the many nobles of the realms of Ultramar than one of it's Warriors. His hair is a golden blond, chin, cheeks and nose all strong yet not imposing as though sculpted. The only thing to make one believe he's not from a fairy tale are his brown eyes, something which he recognises when dealing with normal humans and which he tries to at least somehow hide. His carapace armour is like that of the rest of the Deathwatch Scouts only differing with whatever impromptu camouflage is added. Skills: A sharper shot without targeting assistance than many marines [i]with,[/i] can perform acrobatics even when greatly encumbered, armed and unarmed CQC. History: Kurt was born on one of the many worlds of Ultramar to the noble von Inri family. He grew up shaded by his brother who always was subservient and praiseworthy of their father. There were many minor affairs of state and such and no matter the choice it seemed that praise was the way to go if one wanted to obtain the inheritance. The lad couldn't stand it and ran away several times, going so far as wrestling one of the Guards for a uniform - which he fit in quite well thanks to being tall even at an early age. He was almost fourteen when the ship bearing the wondrous omega, grail and aquila arrived, and the arrivals did not disappoint. The Ultramarines paraded gloriously whilst keeping an eye out for potential recruits - only as a punishment for recent rebelliousness he was that day forced to stay inside. Naturally, out of civic desires the boy broke out and ran to see the glorious men of Macragge. His father noticed him and ran towards him fearing he would do mischief only for the lad to give him a good kick in the right shin and then strike the man down. Surprised, the Captain present approached them to ask what happened - he simply couldn't believe that some show of uncivility would be present at the parade. When he got the story from both the boy and his father the decision was made; Kurt was taken in to (hopefully) become a Scout. While he had hoped it would just be an advanced school with slightly more focus on learning all things martial, Kurt was surprised to have a very arduous path ahead. At each point of receiving the gene-seed he had the symptoms of rejection. Although he was able to survive and was stronger with each part added, his combat abilities were greatly hampered by this. Due to this he adapted to take on a more specialist role with a sniper rifle or some other longer ranged weapon where he could more or less mask his pains which would be debilitating in close quarters combat. However on one occasion when fighting Eldar he was forced into it; screaming banshees came from seemingly nowhere and quickly sliced up most of his squad. Kurt in desperation pulled upon his mono-knife and with a duck went to stab the xeno; the powered blade sliced right through his but the blade had gone right into the throat of the Eldar from the force it had upon it. Seeing an opportunity he turned and placed the blade into the Eldar about to assail his Sergeant. At this point the Sergeant himself turned and let out all of his bolts in his pistol into the remaining hostiles. Surprised at their luck the two ran to evacuation. When they were in safety the events were recalled as a great heroism rather than a stroke of luck; something the Scout was more than happy to accept. It was at this point that a decision was reached; he was to receive his black carapace. Kurt was scared, fearing full rejection rather than just some problems in acceptance of the organ but he took it seeing it as his duty to the Emperor. He was quite sickly on the first day after receiving it but soon stood strong like the full Marine he now was. However he quickly told them that he did not want the Power armour that the other Scouts were to receive; he wanted to continue on as a Scout Sergeant to train the other initiates. Besides, whereas before he could barely enjoy the benefits of his implants now he was fully functioning and now he wanted to be the Scout he failed to be prior. He fit in quite well with his new position; rather than taking the fancy power weapons and pistols that the other Scout Sergeants had he carried the gear of the other Scouts; the same boltguns shotguns and sniper rifles. After all, while he performed the necessary function of a leader for him this was a "redo" of his Scout years. He saw this as preparation for the day in the future when he would become Captain, and eventually Chapter Master. He served dutifully and well until he saw another opportunity for improving his reputation. One of the Battle Brothers who was serving in the Death Watch returned and another one was to be sent. He instantly volunteered himself and is now en-rout to join the Epsilon Warriors. Equipment: phobos pattern bolt pistol, gladius, mono-knife, carapace armour, both cameleoline and traditional camouflage. He will alternate between a shotgun, sniper rifle, stalker pattern boltgun or some other weapon, and will carry as many explosives and such as he can to improve his chances. [/hider]
