Chaos Descending: Warhammer 40k Dark Heresy Roleplay

[POOHEAD189]

I suppose I could be an Adeptus Arbites.

Yankel Ulkhoff

Hider

Full name: Yankel, Berögny Ulkhoff, Guildmaster
Age: 69
Physical Description: 4 feet tall, possessing a short mohawk and a moderately sized beard, his hair is blonde, and his eyes brown. He has a mecha-dendrite coming from his back. Due to the many injuries he has sustained he has many cybernetic enhancements, which while limiting mobility increase his already great Squat strength.

Picture:


Civilian Gear: He will carry an engraved Ripper Pistol and a (defunct, though still useful for the mono-blade) Power-Axe, and tools along with some sort of civilian clothes.

Combat Gear: He will wear Guild Carapace (basically ordinary Carapace armour) over his clothes, a standard Guardsman issue Hazardous Environment kit, and carry a heavy stubber as his primary weapon.

Bio:

He used to be a Guildmaster on the fallen Squat world of Imbach. When the world fell to the Orkoids, he barely managed to escape, along with other Guild Members, at the sacrifice of no non-guild members coming with them. Due to the Eldar not aiding Imbach, he has a great grudge for any and all xenos. After escaping, the Imperium took in the services of the guild. Unlike the Squats who had their homes destroyed by Tyranids, Johan sees the Imperium as great saviors of humanity and is very optimistic of it's future. He himself was assigned to the Inquisitor he is currently serving when he was 35, and much less experienced. He provides more unorthodox mechanical expertise where the Mechanicus may be lost or refuse to help due to "tech-heresy." However he is not wholly experienced with some more advanced mechanicus devices and wishes to learn from them. In his personal quarters, he has many relics from his homeworld, most of them dysfunctional, but he wishes to restore them.

Time with Inquisitor: 34 years

Now, I assume like most DH campaigns we have a dedicated "base."

With the Assassin now called for I think I'll refrain from joining.

[Sophrus]

@Brink

sorry man, i didnt mean to push you out of the game.

[Squad 404]

Hm. I was thinking of making a Vindicare myself. Oh well, guess I'll be getting out of this one entirely.

[Sophrus]

i kinda feel bad now...

[ClocktowerEchos]

Jesus, is the spot of being an assassin so coveted? >_>

[dereken]

Can my ratling also be an assassin and a psyker?

Disclaimer: That was a joke.

[Sophrus]

@Brink, @Valor

Actually. I think I'll bring back a different character I did a while ago.

Plz come back lol.

@ClocktowerEchos

It's more akin to the fact that we've got a small picking pool and a lot of us don't want to play duplicate characters.

[Brink]

@Sophrus Don't worry it's fine, you didn't push me out. Essentially it's what Valor has said, small pool of potential characters and I'm not keen on so many duplicates.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Valor@Brink If either of you are still interested, some possible roles you could take are:

- Chiurgeons (Healers)
- Acolytes
- Savant/Sages
- Penitents (Repenting Heretics)
- Priests/Excorists (which aren't the same as Confessors at least to me)

Also, why is playing a duplicate so bad for you guys? Just because they take on the same role and mantle doesn't mean they're the same person or whatever. Psykers have a wide variety of disciplines they can use and there's more the the Sororitas than just Sisters of Battle; its all there if you're willing to go look for it (which isn't that hard) and also willing to make a character that isn't a carbon copy of someone else's.

Here's something that could be of use:

[Andreyich]

Err, is my Squat approved?

[Sophrus]

Well, im switching up anyhow. this old character i didnt get to use for long at all, and i think he will be more fun.

pyromaniac/demolition expert.

Notable Events: Oskar was pressed into the penal legion after an altercation with his platoon's Commisar. The Commisar was beaten nearly to death and then set on fire, normally this would earn execution on the spot but Oskar was sent to the penal legion where he fought against a major Ork offensive and was the only survivor from his regiment.

x2 Melta bombs
Entrenching tool
Combat drugs
Auspex Scanner
Carapace armor (stolen during a former mission)

Time With Inquisitor: None- Fresh transfer.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@AndreyichI'd assume so but wait on the GM for that, he gets final say in CSs.

@SophrusReminds me of a character I made for an 40k RP that was also based around an Inquistor's retinue. Ironically enough he too was a penal legionnaire

Also, there's a lot of new transfers, not complaining or anything, just noticed that.
Makes sense in a way though, Karthis only really became a "true" Inquisitor recently.

@ClocktowerEchos

i would be happy with joining earlier if you wanted to RP something in that direction. i just did it for convenience.

@Sophrus

That's fair, guess it'll just mean more stuff to talk about IC as everyone is still getting used to each other for the most part

Trimmy trim

@ClocktowerEchos

Oh. I'm aware. I've been rolling a few things around in my head. I love the Warhammer 40k universe. The main issue for me is that in my roleplaying career I've been "Groomed" into playing a character that isn't going to accomplish the same thing as another one since it'd be encroaching on their RP'ers "Turf" so to speak.

Being honest, the "Basic humans only" rule is extremely limiting. The last roleplay I was in with the Warhammer 40k universe (Which ironically involved an inquisitional retinue) I was playing an Ork Shoota Nob.

@Valor

Ahh well if that's the case my apologizes although we have changed it a bit to allow for abhumans. Still, if you want to leave then I guess I'm in no spot of forcing you otherwise. Good luck in whatever you do next ^^

[The Emperors Blade]

@Valor hereticus inquisitor going to imperial human worlds having xenos races is bad
