[hider=Atrias: Just a marine that likes the Guard more than his Brothers]

Name: Atrias 

Chapter: Atrias belong to the Imperial Fists Space Marine Chapter 

Chapter Demeanour: Courage, sacrifice and Steadfastness. The Imperial Fists treat their Primarch's (Rogal Dorn's) final actions as an example of how they should act. Dorn's final moments were of courage and supreme sacrifice. This example drives the Imperial Fist to push on where others would yield, leading to victory against all odds, though it is often at the cost of many lives.

Personal Demeanour: Atrias, like other imperial fists, is steadfast and courageous, motivated by Rogal Dorn's example. Atrias believes himself to be weak and a coward compared to his brothers despite his age and experience and thus strives continuously to prove himself (often at the cost of his own health) and will never accept failure as an option. Atrias has extreme respect for Imperial Guardsmen and his fellow battle-brothers and will often go out of his way to render aid to his comrades believing it his duty. Atrias often gravitates towards squad mates or others around him that he deems as "honourable," preferring their company over other (less honourable) warriors.

Speciality: Tactical Marine (capable of serving as an assault marine or devastator)

Rank: Veteran Tactical Marine

Power Armour History: Atrias wears a set of MK.VII "Aquila" Power armour nicknamed "Immortal" due to its ability to never be destroyed completely, regardless of the state of its wearer. "Immortal" always seems to be repairable. It has survived countless battles and suffered damage that would render most suits inoperable (most notably being: stepped on by gargant). The Immortal armour has been passed around in the chapter a significant number of times (often due to the violent death of the operator.) While the armour itself hasn't had an illustrious career, it certainly has seen its fair share of action and has been used by hundreds of other battle-brothers who each had their fair share of achievements and honours, the armour itself having seen combat against nearly enemy in the galaxy and will likely continue to do so long after Atrias's falls.

Description: Atrias looks a lot like a standard space marine, with Caucasian skin and, of course, his impressive size. The only visible differences are the cybernetic right eye he received during his time as an assault marine, the other being a few tattoos that would fit more on an imperial guardsman, including an Astra Militarum tattoo on his right shoulder. His natural eye is brown, and he has short black hair. His attire is often quite simple, usually only robes. 

Atrias's armour is much like standard Aquila armour with a considerable amount of dents and scarring, painted as per standard Imperial fist colours aside from the helmet, which has been half painted Astra Militarum green and has the numbers of an imperial guard regiment painted on the green side. He has also painted a red line across his helmet's right eye to symbolize his eye's loss. 


Skills: Atrias possesses a jack of all trades skill set, he's spent a great deal of time tirelessly practicing all of his potential roles, regardless of his current position, he still trains as a devastator and an assault marine, keeping his skills sharp and tested is a focus of his. Besides his training, he is notable for being a proficient duelist and marksman, slightly more so than most of his Battle Brothers. Atrias also possess an intense ability to not accept defeat, often ignoring retreat orders and pressing forward regardless of the threat to his life. Atrias is also surprisingly compassionate towards normal humans and will (when paired to a standard human unit) match his own speed and pace to them, preferring to keep them alive than make quick (and terribly dangerous for non-Space Marines) progress.

History: 

Atrias was recruited into the Imperial fists from a hive world's underground. He was initially a gang enforcer to a violent group but was captured in a raid before being brutally tested by the imperial fists along with other captives. His acceptance was as brutal as could be expected, having to duel a space marine he barely held his own, and while not succeeding in the fight, he showed his skills as a warrior. Many of his friends and fellow captives died in testing, leaving him one of 3 to actually succeed in the trials and become a neophyte.

As a neophyte Atrias was nothing special, he became a scout and performed adequately, not impressing his superiors much but succeeding in surviving till the end of his indoctrination. After receiving his final implants and ascending into a full space marine, his early tenure was mostly uneventful until his promotion to assault marine. As an assault marine, Atrias finally began showing significant signs of skill during an Ork incursion. Atrias had single-handedly defeated an Ork Warboss and his entire Nob entourage, though his fight was brutal and bloody, he made it through the battle. Alive. But without the use of one of his eyes (and an Ork Choppa lodged in his helmet.)

Atrias was promoted shortly after his success against the Orks to a tactical marine, and he was assigned to a garrison in a backwater, Ork-infested planet. At first, Atrias was a hot-headed and brash warrior, charging any Orks he could find with little thought of the imperial guardsmen behind him. During his time in the Garrison, he grew fond of the imperial guardsmen he had been fighting alongside, often slowing (and eventually completely stopping) his brash and borderline suicidal charges. During this time, he started to prefer spending his time not with his battle-brothers but with the guardsmen. This (while unusual) was not stopped by his superiors and led Atrias to start approaching combat with a slower and more considerate approach. 

After spending a great deal of time on this assignment, he was eventually recalled to his warship, and he ultimately achieved the rank of a veteran but was quickly transferred to the Deathwatch due to his lack of cohesion with his battle brothers.


Equipment and Armament: Atrias has the standard tactical marine loadout, his only additions being his "Immortal" armour, chainsword and a medkit.
