@Jb As long as it makes sense. I am not against changing if you feel it is too jarring for the setting. The link seems to have expired though, could you post a new one and I'll join?
@Jb

Thanks for the feedback. It makes sense and I will make a few tweaks. For his history, I just like the idea of a Cadian colony of Fenris. The Space Wolves recruit from there so humans are at least able to survive and I feel like it would be feasible for a colony to be established there, even if the population is minimal after Magnus' attack. Also, it's in the Great Rift right now and, iirc, there are roaming bands of Chaos Spawn so I like that Lyvon would have exposure to, and reason to fear, the forces of chaos as well as psykers. I just feel like overall it brings a lot of pieces together. It's just neat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Would it be more acceptable then to just phrase things so that Ahriman's discrete attack on their colony was partly due to Psychic Awakening? Like it disturbed the relic in a way he could sense and he came to reclaim as part of his efforts to reverse the Rubric. There doesn't have to be a significant link to The Fall Of Cadia.

For the second part that is fine too. I will tweak that to make it more appropriate.
Right, sorry I missed the part where you explicitly said to put the character sheets up here. My bad :/ Here is my character sheet at the moment though. I have mostly gotten into WH40k through just playing the wargame, which I have only started quite recently, and some the TTRPGs. My knowledge of the lore mostly comes from friends vomiting it at me which never sunk in super well. So let me know if I made any egregious mistakes. The general arc I have for this character is him overcoming some lingering PTSD issues from the attack in his history.



@Jb

Yeah, that helps thank you. I was not entirely sure if we were just playing narratively, where we describe what our characters do like what I guess is more normal for this site (I honestly do not know, it has been a really long time since I was lost on here), or if we were going to be using a ruleset from the TTRPG games with dice and mechanics and all that. Your response answered me though so 'tis all good. I will get started on my character. Should I just post that here for approval before it goes onto the main character tab or send it to you in a DM or something?
I would be very keen to join this RP if there are spots available. A couple of questions though:
You posted the discord link, is this taking place entirely on discord once things are set up here?
Is this a freeform play-by-post or are we using rules from one of the WH40k RPGs?
Yeah, that's a couple. All I've really got burning my mind for now
Sorry I haven't posted yet. I've had no electricity for the last couple of days and doing anything on my phone is... painful. Anyway things have returned to the status quo so I'll be posting soonish like.
@TheMagician The thing with Bounty Hunters in this particular RP is giving them a reason to not be bounty hunting any more. The Rebels and the Empire both hired Bounty Hunters and mercenaries in swathes during the Galactic Civil War, but they were always as hired hands and not as members of the rank-and-file. This RP will very much focus on the rank-and-file, so they're a bit difficult to get in.

Clawdites are fine, though. There's not huge amounts of information on exactly what their shapeshifting abilities can do, but I'm happy to discuss your character's limitations with you either here or via PMs.


Awesome. I totally get what you mean about Bounty Hunters so he won't be that. Maybe a refugee from the Zolander oppression on his home planet instead. Anyway I think the limitations in the wiki (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clawdite/Legends) seem to be pretty balanced.

Shifting form causes discomfort and requires constant maintenance so distractions would cause him to revert to his natural form. He would be unable to change his mass or be able to resemble anything non-humanoid.

Also I'm really not keen on having him being some OP shapeshifter dude swapping between radically different forms with ease. I'm more thinking just some general shifting of features so that he can look human for at most an hour at a time but nothing much more intense than that and nor would he be able to look like an exact copy of someone else. Definitely nothing Prototype style either (shifting his hands into claws or blades type of thing).

I'll start working on a character sheet later and today once it's up you can let me know what you think. Unless something I've said so far seems a bit iffy.
