[u][b]Warhammer 40K: Task Squad[/b][/u]


[img]http://s2.postimg.org/p7thbhhyx/22k.jpg[/img]



[i]The subsector "Magna Four" consists of motley collection of hive planets and agriworlds, coupled with the occasional new settler world as the thinly spread Imperial forces valiantly attempt to either spread the Imperium's boundaries or regain lost ground. Yet it is a subsector frought by war, conflict and lethal intriguing from both within and without. Many of the worlds are struggling with internal conflict, either in the form of criminals or upstart independence seekers, or a combination of the two. Another plague is the alien; violent masses of orks frequent the sector, ravaging, pillaging and destroying anything they can get their hands on, while the mysterious Eldar have also been spotted, sabotaging and waging their own secret war in the sector. And last but not least, the insidious presence of chaos threatens to corrupt the noble spirit of the sector, always lingering on the outskirts; and sometimes even found within.


Fearing that the imperial forces in the sector is not enough to keep the peace, Planetary Governor of the Hive World "Soliaire 2", Alphelius Marximus; a reclusive yet legendary old conqueror figure and rumored to be more than 400 years old; has called for the formation of elite task squads to strike like a spear into the hearts of some of these threats, preferably killing them while they are still in their infancy!

The people who make up these Strike Squads come from all walks of life. Guns for hire, elements of the official Imperial Forces, Psykers, adepts of the Mechanicum, ex pirates, pardoned criminals, missionaries, zealots, clergymen, pilots and men of the law. They have all come, whether lured by the promise of monetary rewards, a chance to serve the Emperor or simply to find a purpose in life.

To lead these squads, Planetary Governor Alphelius Marximus has summoned members of his own private household. One of these household members is Sherpa Silverlain, who has promised Alphelius swift results, or die trying...

[u][b]Description:[/b][/u] The idea of this roleplay is to create a squad of 3-6 active players to venture through the subsector to hunt down targets. It can be a little reminiscent of a bounty hunter game, as our Task Squad will be tracking down specific foes and dealing with them however way they like.

The master of the squad, Alhpeous' householdmember and leader; will be Sherpa Silverlain(also my character). The roleplay will start on the Hive World of Soliaire 2, in the visitor wing of Alpheous Marximus own massive palace on the planet where the team will gather and be briefed before heading off on their first assignment.



[hider=Examples of imagined missions]

[u][b]Hive World "Solaire 2: "Revolution in the depths."[/b][/u]
In the slums and lower levels of the Hive World of Solaire 2, the destitute masses have been flocking to a new, fledgling movement called "Freedom's Cry", lead by a bloodthirsty yet charismatic human bandit known as "Rolf the Righteous" who has announced his own independent state in the lower sections of the northern hive world, waging a ruthless and violent war against the Imperial authorities. Proving very elusive, he has become a designated target for the Task Squads, and is to be either captured or killed through any means possible. But preferably killed... 

[u][b]Frontier World "Orsamar": "Killing Warboss Skomug Shoo-Loota"[/b][/u]
Orsamar is a barren world coveted for its mineral resources, yet also plagued by marauding Ork tribes. While normally too busy squabbling among themselves, one petty Warboss has been dangerously successful in uniting the warring tribes(usually by beating their heads in) and is deemed a potential canditate to create a planet-wide Waaagh. The upstart warboss in question is named "Skomug Shoo-Loota", notorious for stealing the shoes or boots of defeated enemy champions or generals, including the priceless ornate leather boots of one disgraced Lord General "Friedrick von Hausen". He is to be terminated before he manages to gather enough tribes to start a full-blown Waaagh at all cost!

[u][b]Agriworld "Lithia": "Riders in the Night"[/b][/u]
Strange events have plagued this normally docile world. Isolated settlements and farms have suddenly gone completely dark, and when their neighbors or authorities came to check in on them; they found entire towns and villages completely empty, the original inhabitants having vanished completely. There are no signs of fighting, no blood, no craters and no gunshot signs. Far from an isolated occurrence, it has been happening all over the planet, and similar cases have even been said to find place on other nearby worlds. Even some of the planet's own garrison force has gone missing, with no communication or message to indicate what happened to them. The team's objective will be to discover what strange force has been presumably abducting the farmers, and if possible; put an end to it.

[u][b]Requirements[/b][/u]
- Ideally being able to post at least 2 times a day on a regular basis. Exceptions may apply if waiting for someone else. Breaks are permitted if announced in advance. Real life happens and we know this.

There are no hard requirements insofar lore is concerned. We welcome members who might even be completely new to the Warhammer universe. The most important asset any member to this roleplay can bring is an positive attitude and cheerful spirit. A roleplay is made by the people who participate in it, and it is my desire as a GM for this to be a great experience for everyone who chooses to enter it :)

[b]The powerlevel[/b] of this roleplay will be relatively high, but there will be no Space Marine characters in this roleplay. That said, you may still create any character you wish other than that, even a non-combat character designed around support. Agents of the Officio Assassinorum, Sisters of Battle or members of other elite forces except Space marines are still allowed.

If you have any questions, please post them in the thread below. If enough players join, I will create the thread. A character template will be provided down below, but feel free to discuss your character ideas in the thread itself if you are not sure, just want inputs or share ideas.
