Four years ago, you posted this RP. I made a character, and then chickened out. Here I am again, making a character in secret. What is it that draws me here?

40K has that charm from being A) a very detailed and fun setting that has room for nearly anything you want, and B) a setting that has the same effect as when you're at a disaster zone: you know it's dark and bloody as heck, yet you can't bring yourself to look away. 

Personally, I'm torn between the choice of Astropath and some kind of poor put-upon translator who wants to promote peace and cooperation but whose wishes clash quite harshly with the daily realities of the 42nd Millennium...
