The one thing that you may not be ready to hear is that im aware of all of those restrictions, yes every single one of them. Ive been playing 40kRPs since 2011. So lets deal with them one by one. [quote=@Ollumhammersong] [@Steel Legion] Alright, A few things. Your character will not have earned themselves any sort of title this early in their career. [/quote] The title is Beastmaster of the Blackened Anvil. Do i really need to prove that there are many anvils and some of them are blackened? The name is meant to be almost a location similar to how Leonardo Di Vinci basically translates to Leonard of Venice. If you arnt allowing titles why did you include them in a name generator? [quote=@Ollumhammersong] As for the picture you used, Salamanders are known for their coal black skin and red eyes. A genetic quirk unique to them specifically. [/quote] A fact that i fully accommodated in the picture. See how his face is blackened by ash? There arnt allot of pictures of salamanders. I chose this picture because it represented a marine in a transitional state between flesh colour to charcoal black. [quote=@Ollumhammersong] You are not going to start the game with master-crafted anything even if they are consumable grenades. Stick to frag and krak for now. Specialty equipment may be made available based on your assignments.[/quote] Im sorry but all salamanders are craftsmen and artisans. They are known to craft all of their own equipment and thus a scout crafting 3 inferno grenades in a chapter defined by flame weaponry is not out of the ordinary. Especially as all marines not only are genetically related to Vulkan but also evolve to become more like him over time. [quote=@Ollumhammersong] Nor would your character have a personal menagerie of pets. barring the Space wolves no chapter, least of all the Salamanders have a history of going to war alongside animals. They hunt them for sport and for trophies certainly, and if you want to give yourself some kind of hunting trophy earned from a trial where you fought a drake than sure, within reason i'll happily allow that. [/quote] The White Scars are on record as having trained falcons. Yes the space wolves train fenrisian wolves. Im pretty sure that Raven Guard get ravens, being that inquisitors are also known to have ravens and eagles as pets. This is my attempt to incorporate the known trait of compassion that salamanders have into a real world example such as someone who would tame and master animals rather than just kill them straight away like a psychopath. [quote=@Ollumhammersong] And i'm sorry but there's no way i'm giving anyone a Grynix. They are not native to nocturne and your not an inquisitor or a librarian so there would be no reason your character would have ever seen or heard of these much less tamed one somehow.[/quote] Fair enough, i was only really looking for a feline-type animal. What about a Phyrr cat? [quote=@Ollumhammersong] And marines don't use personal stub weapons of any kind. Feel free to take a bolt pistol as a backup weapon. [/quote] Incorrect. Failed space marine aspirants are issued with stub weaponry and are used as indentured servants. They are often used to repel borders when an Astartes ship is attacked, being that they are not true space marines. So this proves atleast that such weapons exist. I was mainly trying to avoid making the claim that i have both a boltgun and a bolt pistol, however im ready to admit im wrong in this case. My character is not a chapter serf. [quote=@Ollumhammersong] As as far as his profile. Marines don't choose a specialty. They train to be devasators-> close assault-> tactical in turn. They have to learn to fill whatever roll may be required of them, and are assigned to a role in a battle company based on what they're good at and where the openings are. [/quote] And that is basically what im saying my character has chosen to do. Not all space marines are tactical, some are exclusively assault marines for example. This means that the tactical marines are a bit of a jack of all trades master of none, whereas someone making a character for this RP for example could choose to be an assault marine with knife/pistol and this would be a perfectly valid choice. In conclusion, i hope you didnt read this in too impertinent a tone. Im sure that once we're over this stumbling block we can get onto some really interesting RP.
