Soon after the decision to migrate was made. After years of difficulty, eventually a two city world formed. Almost everyone on the planet would migrate between the two cities before nightfall in order to stay in the light. However, in one of these cities, heresy was brewing. Rouge traders and even Xeno scum would inhabit the city during the year of night. Over time more and more people would begin to be swayed by their influence and stay in the city for the night. When the people inevitably found out about this secret, they sought to punish the wicked. Before they could finish destroying the scum, an Inquistor arrived. After discovering that the Imperial Guard and PDF were already destroying the scum in the name of the Imperium, the Inquisitor graciously spared the innocent and only wiped out half of the planet with nuclear fire. After the dust settled and things warmed up again, the Governor sent some militants into the wastes to insure there would be no evidence of heresy left on Ferrum. After discovering signs of mutants, the Governor decided on a whim to send in a unit of Guardsmen to mop up. After six Terran months, the Guard returned, they were hardened and seemed to be far more perceptive than when they left and yet they had failed. Mutants were still roaming the wastes and thus began the tradition of the Patrol. Soldiers who went out into the wastes and returned achieved something of a heroic status. A mix of propaganda and the promise of greatness allowed Ferrum to achieve a force of all volunteers.[/hider][hider=Short Backstory]Octavian was born on Ferrum and raised with the stories of the Patrol and their deeds. When he was 12 he joined the Imperial Youth Brigade which trained young people in survival and basic combat. At 16 he joined the PDF and after training he served up until his 18th birthday. When it arrived he began his patrol that would last for twice the normal length. Almost immediately after being dropped deep inside the wastes, he lost the single most important item to him, his compass. For a Terran year he fought and survived the harshness of the wastes until he finally managed to make it out. In recognition of his miraculous survival and exceptional fortitude, he was given the honorary title of "Long Patrolman". After a year of serving in the Imperial Guard units attached to Ferrum, he was transferred to the Ferrum Imperial Patrol. Soldiers in the Patrol were often called Rangers or Scouts but neither is quite right. The Patrol fights to win not to show how big their balls are, although they are quite large. Ferrum's production is almost solely devoted to producing the Ferrum-71 Autogun that is issued to members of the patrol. Which is the only rifle that has the capability needed by Patrolmen out in the wide Galaxy. [/hider][hider=Being Requisitioned]Octavian had served in countless conflicts already by the time he first came in close contact with a Psyker. After a moment the Psyker realized that he was a Blank and jumped back in disgust. He was arrested just before being requisitioned by the Inquisitor. Octavian hates being away from the Patrol but he knows that the Inquisition serves a greater purpose. He is ready to do whatever is asked of him, be it reconnaissance or assassination.[/hider][/indent] [/hider]
