[OOC] Warhammer 40k: Kill-Team Epsilon, a Death=][=Watch RP - Currently closed!

[Jb]

@Wraithblade6 Perhaps, but if they're too off-the-wall then you can forget it; we're still Astartes after all.

[Wraithblade6]

@Jbcool Oh of course I'd play a space marine. I'm surprised nobody is coming from the Dark Angels.

@Wraithblade6

I meant don't make your Astartes exceptionally over the top, Dark Angels are fine though, as are their successors.

[Jb]

Right, Xmas is over, and I think we've enough for a Kill-team (and more once all the sheets are in). So, come New Year, we'll get everything 'on the road'.

The Emperor protects.

[Hank]

Christmas is a two-day national holiday in my country, so I'm going to need a little more time. I do hope to be able to submit my sheet before the new year begins (as I'm already more than halfway done).

EDIT: Nevermind, managed to finish it now. Submitted!

@Hank

Could it be... a fellow leafposter?

[Hank]

@Andreyich Mainland Europe, as it so happens.

[Andreyich]

Damn. Not a single Canadian to to found.

[KabenSaal]

Vlka Fenryka, reporting for duty

[Jb]

@KabenSaal Then get a CS to me.

To anyone else, this RP is FULL, if anyone drops out or their character is killed (it's possible) then I'll reopen it.

We'll begin soon.

That is all.

[Wraithblade6]

@Jbcool Am I still allowed to submit my Dark Angel? I can do it soon today.

[KabenSaal]

So, how are you on the gender of space marines? Entirely rigid, or flexible?

@KabenSaal

[Wraithblade6]

@KabenSaal As much as I believe that both genders count as "human" and can't see any logical issue with geneseed acting any different in a female body, it has never worked in the lore of this world. Perhaps this is because female soldiers irl were controversial in the era that the warhammer game was created, or perhaps it's simple shovanism, but I feel like there would have to be a serious reason why a female human would end up transformed into cannonfodder for war, barring the implantation process actually succeeding.

[Jb]

@KabenSaal Pretty much what Wraith said on that subject.

@Wraithblade6 Yes, you can still submit it.

[Jb]

Let me just reiterate for the third time; this is going to be a lore-intensive, Astartes-based RP. If you lack knowledge of the Marines, or think that they're just Guardsmen with power armour and RP them as such - and are not willing to research the Astartes/Deathwatch - then do not bother going beyond this point.

I'm going to be putting the time in to provide such, and I feel that the equal return is acceptable.

May sound 'elitist', but there you are.

P.S.

I am always about to answer questions and so forth, but also don't be afraid to give ideas of your own - I MAY be elitist, but I'm not a tyrant!

Okay, we await two profiles and away we go.

[Jb]

@Wraithblade6@KabenSaal The point is that a female Astartes would be a male Astartes in all but name. The transformative process would narrow the gap to so close that there'd be no real point in bothering to define male or female.

That's why.

[Wraithblade6]

@Jbcool

Maybe elitist, maybe a tyrant...

@Jbcool

Just my two cents, but this is generally my opinion on the matter. The difference would be so negligible that it wouldn't be worth breaking canon.

[Jb]

If you do just think of me as The Emperor of Mankind, that'd be fine.
