The Spirits Within: Oakridge Chronicles

_{T R A N S P O R T Saturday 6 June-Unknown Time Mid-transit from Doral to front line operations}

---

The incessant roaring of the transport ship carrying him and the group of Doral recruits to the front line rattled and shaked as the low altitude transport began hitting turbulance. Those unprepared sat there wide eyed and in shock in the disbelief that their life had brought them to this point of active combat, those prepared had a mixed reaction of concern and even some mild excitement. And then there was Mike.

Mike beamed gleefully out the window watching the world go by as transport brought them closer to the most fun he was most likely ever going to have in his entire military career. His gleefull attitude was suddenly interupted by the overwhelming shaking of the soldier next to him, as Mike looked him over he realized that the boy couldn't be any younger than him as the boy was shaking literally in his boots wielding his almost brand new rifle. Realizing that the boy and frankly everyone in the ship could use a little pick me up, Mike nonchalantly turned his mics on and shoved his hand into the boys face.

"'Allo 'ere, names Mike."

The boy, slightly confused, took the Mike's hand and gave a weak shake. As the boy looked Mike over seeing his gear and weapons and the strange comm device locked onto Mike's neck and quickly realized who and what Mike was,

"Your a Guardian aren't you?"

"Aye lad, 'at I am. Tell me lad, where ya from?"

"Doral, I was picked when the Army came to recruit us. To be honest this is the first time I've ever held a gun before, let alone a combat rifle."

The boys face grew ever more somber as his head hung low as he made himself realize what he exactly was just about to get himself into. After seeing the boys reaction and the general state of the ships occupants Mike jumped up and walked himself to the middle of the ship and spoke to the ship as a whole.

"How ya all doin' on ta' ship tis evenin?

Summary

Mike is as giddy as a school girl to be on the transport ship heading to the front lines, but notices that some of the other soldiers are not as thrilled as he is. Mike uses his spirit Bua to boost the soliders confidence

The Spirits Within: Oakridge Chronicles

I am currently in the works of writing a post to help with some things. Im just finishing up with the most recent posts and ill have something up ASAP. Afterwards I will do my best to keep to the standards at hand

Ignore.

Ive added more info to my sheet so what do you think boss man?

Ignore.

Sorry for all the character jumping but this is who I am working on. Mind you this is only a WIP and I will finish as able.

Name: Inquisitor Thaddeus Skane

Age: 114

Gender: M

Role: Inquisitor

Ordos: Hereticus

Appearance:

Personality:
Skane is a highly religious man holding fast and true in the tennants set forth the Emperor and held by his Ecclesiarchy. He holds little love for any who deviate from the path that the Emperor has set forth and has a tendancy to see even the most minor slight as heresy in it's highest form. Skane repesects strength, both physical and will and tends to surround himself with those that are willing to do anything nessicary to ensure that the Imperium and the will of the Emperor are upheld.

History:
If you spend enough time with Inquisitor Skane and he will regale you of the Emporer's will and how it has blessed him in his many years of service. Skane no longer remembers his life before the Schola Progenium but the day he was chosen to be taken to be among the Emperor's missionary's was the day he would say his life began. Life in the early years proved more difficult than he would have first thought but Skane dedicated the entierty of his life to exemplify everything that the Emperor embodied.

As his time in the Ecclesiarchy continued he found another muse for his life, combat training. It wasn't long that Skane found that his prowess with a powersword quickly outshined those that he trained with which caught the eye of the higher ups within the Ministorum, who quickly chose him to be a Cruasder to serve an inquisitor. It wasn't long until he found himself in the service of Inquistor Stown of the Ordo Hereticus. For for almost seventy five years Skane served faithfully and without fail to protect Stown with his very life.

During an investigation of suspected heretic activity on a distant Forge World it was discovered

Philosophy: Skane is of a Monodominant mindset and is prepared to above all else to purge anything that stands in the way of the God-Emporers way.

Skills & Abilities:

Retinue Members: [NPC servants for inquisitors, NPC members of a Chamber Militant's squad. Give a level of description for each that you feel appropriate. Let's keep the number of retinue members between 1 and 4.]

Equipment:

Ignatus Power Armour

Storm Shield

Power Sword

Inquisitorial Rosette

Relationships with Other Characters:

Ignore.

Oh...well that's something I'm gonna have to change lol. I made my inquisitor an inquisitor Lord since when I read the description of it it basically described it as a fluff title set to recognize service

Ignore.

I know that there is a ranking system cause there are ranks like master and so forth. It was just a thought I had.

EDIT: how weird would it be for Inquisitors to take Arbites as a retinue?

Ignore.

Now for the inquisitor if we wanted to give him a higher title the back story would have to fit right?

Ignore.

I have also began work on an inquisitor from Ordo Hereiticus, BTW what's an average age for Inquisitors?

EDIT: But I can also retool if need be, I still have the crusader I can toss together

The Spirits Within: Oakridge Chronicles

Will start working on a post ASAP

The Spirits Within: Oakridge Chronicles

_{Jonathan Michael O'Malloray
◆ 23 ◆25, October◆ 6'1"◆ Guardian}

_{I D E O L O G Y}
Mike lives by one rule and one rule only, live life to the absolute fullest and letting the rest fall where it may. Mike looks at everything; war, life, friends, even the Spirits themselves as a means to have the biggest "party" with the last call being death itself. Being the youngest of twenty and the only son of a farmers family, Mike has become a sort of protector of women which is odd since he more often than not tends to be a bit of a womanizer himself. Having to grow up fast has put a lot of stress on Mike to be the man he is supposed to be and so Mike has gained an unnatural love of liquor leading him to be a raging alcholic. While it never impedes his duties as a Guardian it does have a rather nasty effect on his social life.

_{B A C K G R O U N D}
The story of Jonathan O'Malloray begins much farther back than even the conception of his birth. It begins with Alan O'Malloray living the life of a farmers son deep in the Anatolia wilderness years before the break out war with the Mordrem, a story that begins with true love and settling down to raise a family. Alan married Lillian and began birthing a litter of darling girls. Life for Alan couldn't be better for Alan, that was until the Mordrem attacked. On the eve of Libra's greatest tragadey came the birth of the one thing that Alan dreamed of for so long, his first born son, a son that he names Johnathan Michael.

Spending the first several years of Jonathan's life tending the land life, the war, everything seemed to pass right over the Anatolia farmlands as Alan's gaggle of children grew up strong and tending the fields. By the time Mike reached the age of ten a Mordrem attack forced the family to leave their home that was deep within the newly designated Dark Zone. As the horde of children and their parents trudged along the cold of Anatolia winter Michael learned the most important song of his life, the song that would later show him his role as a Guardian. The Song of the Misty Mountain. A song that speaks on the loss of a home and promise to one day return to it.

At the tender age of eleven Michael's father sent him and the entire O'Malloray brood off to join the ranks of the Oakridge military acadamy to become stronger and give the "softbloods at Oakridge a taste of true Anatolian might". While his sister's went off to become officers, medics, and other various other important pieces of the war effort, Mike and his newly found Spirits took on special training of a Guardian. It became clear that Mike took to combat early on shunning the more fancy equipment for body armor and a slew of knives and axes, the more stabey the better.

But Jonathan's true prowess came not from his strength but from his voice. Jonathan's spirits began truly manafesting in the songs that he sang when he found that his spirits not only aided himself but gave those around him the same amazing effects. Because of the attention his deep Anatolian baroque and haunting melodies Mike quickly became known around Oakridge as Johnny Charisma and as his fame grew so did his ego.

Now on the day of Operation Downfall is set to take place Mike prepares for the biggest party his life has ever known, taking the mission in Doral to see what trouble he can get in to.

_{W A R F A R E}
On the basest level Mike is an all out brawler, wearing nothing but the bare minimum of armor and wading out into combat wielding only a series of knives and axes, one in particular having different attachments for a spear, axe and hammer. While in the field he dawns his heavy duty chest plate bare chested wearing cestes on either hand and heavy steel toed combat boots.

The only thing that is not hand to hand related is the microphone and earpieces locked around his neck. Not only do they tie into his comm system but it also amplifies his spirits by projecting his voice beyond natural limits

_{◇ Bua - Holy ] - [ Empower, Frenzy ] - [ Posion, Curse ] Bua generally manifests itself during time great celebration, or when Mike has been drinking too much. It generally clings to songs of merriment and togetherness and as such tends to gravitate to all of those that Mike is close with. Bua generally revels itself as a glowing radiance that often envelopes Mike and his entire party.}

_{◇Fios - [ Holy ] - [ Protect, Dispel ] - [ Terror, Imperil ]Fios is perhaps the most fickle of Mike's spirits, being a spirit of knowledge it generally shys away from most combative scenarios. It generally gravitates towards songs that speak of knowledge, and often mimics Bua but not as bright.}

_{◇Eire - [ Holy ] - [ Empower, Protect, Immune ] [ -Exotic Effect ]Eire was Mike's first Spirit and shows itself only during one song, The Song of the Misty Mountain. This is considered Mike's most powerful spirit in the fact that it grants not only himself but all within earshot immunity to the elements as long as he keeps singing. However this also prevents him from doing anything else so within combat.}
