[Storms and Shadows] - A Black Crusade inspired 40k Chaos RP.

Just plodding on with the next post, between work and such. I will try and move things in the IC along quite quickly, so that we don't spend a month in the tutorial, as it were

Yo I think Ima have to drop out atm. Dont want to hold this up- sorry!

@Flagg

I might be in the same boat. i'm working late and often this month, thanksgiving is coming up and I already tried to write a post but had to delete it because it was shite.

At best I can't post until Wednesday

@Ollumhammersong

Alrighty guys, thanks for letting me know. I'll press on with the game, and if you want to hop back in at a later date, I'm sure we can sort something out :)

[Storms and Shadows] - A Black Crusade inspired 40k Chaos RP.

From what I can tell, we're just waiting on IC posts from @Flagg and @Ollumhammersong, and then I'll crack on with moving us down to the planet!

@Bloodrose I"m guessing I can assume Natalia has permission to board?

@levinfist

I'm going to wait until everyone has gotten a chance to get their character aboard the Ascension before my next post, but yes, Natalia can board.

Sheesh, a girl leaves for a week and everything moves on without her :P

Finally!

Kotys is a lady that looks of far higher birth than she actually is. She is lithe, slender and athletic, with prominent cheekbones and plenty of makeup to cover up whichever aspect of herself she deems unfitting of her that particular day. Beyond what was granted to her by birth, many of the more common signs of slaneeshi corruption display themselves across her. Her skin is marked with the Prince of Pleasure's symbol- its location etched into the skin just below her belly buttom, her tongue is unusually long and slightly forked, her eyes are particularly bright and abhumanly coloured, and despite wearing no perfume she always seems to have a pleasant odour, but there are no clawed arms or horns from her jaw.

In terms of how she acts, Kotys seems to have been born for the specific kind of shady politics that is oh-so-useful in the Imperium. Cunning, extremley manipulative and with few qualms for petty crimes such as blackmail, fraud, bribery, intimidation and politically motivated assault, Slaneesh's influcence has only increased her political acumen, not entirely overtaken it.

Besides political ability however, Kotys manages to tick most of the boxes when it comes to a folloewr of Slaneesh. Hedonistic, overindulgent, lustful and indulgent to a fault, Kotys' victories are marked by wild parties, many of which don't end until bodies are being carted away.

Born on Skuberrmia, Kotys never really had much of a choice to be a good, Emperor-fearing citizen. In the muck and dirt of the planet she was raised, her parents Slaneeshi cultists much like she would grow up to be. With her parents increasingly focused on debauchery rather than actually raising her, it was only the fact that Kotys was unusually intelligent and lucid that managed to carry her through her formative years without an overdose.

Once she was old enough to flee the nest she began to cultivate a reputation for herself, slowly creeping into first the peripharies, and then the lower boundaries of the politican machinations of the planet. Although hardly a VIP, her work has bourne small fruits- she can claim quite honestly to have a small following, and her 'office' is at least large enough to house the many colourful characters that come through its doors.

That being said, Kotys rapidly tires of being such a small fish. She wishes to place herself on the map of Skuberrmia, and the best way of doing so, at least in her mind, is to do something truly impressive- to drag the spotlight onto her by force.

@Lady Selune

The lovely lady is approved! Feel free to add her to the CS tab :)

Great posts, so far, everyone! It's really nice to see the party take shape.

Minos Bull-Head

Name/Titles: Minos Bull-Head, also called 'the Cleaver'.

Denomination: Khornate

Appearance: Centuries of conflict and his dedication to gathering heads for his brass-clad master have bought change upon Minos that he can't say he does not welcome.

Where once stood a noble and handsome Astartes, now is a creature both more and less than he ever was as a transhuman.

Standing near eight-and-a-half feet tall outside of any form of armour, Minos' once proud visage was twisted and warped by dark energies into the likeness of a bullock - his entire body sprouting crimson fur that had gradually began to grey over time, his face lengthening with a crack of bone and flesh, now snouted in the way of a raging bull, and a pair of large horns jutting from his cranium that he has tipped with bronze.

This entire head is usually covered by a 'helmet' of black iron uniquely formed to fit his head and leave only his mouth, eyes and horns uncovered.

His Astartes physiology too meleded with that of his God, his form becoming infused in such a way that his mass almost doubled - and yet there is not an inch of fat on him - his original power armour unable to contain him and so discarded on some battelfield somewhere. He fights without protection on his torso, save for a branded Mark of Khorne burnt into his chest, trusting in Khorne and his own thickened hide and flesh to keep him safe.

Lastly were his once-human legs, twisted and warped into hoofed limbs, these and his loins covered by ramshackle carapace armour coloured crimson by the blood of innocents.

He fights with no firearms, but carrys two chainaxes of ancient providence, neither one having ever broken or let him down... yet.

Personality: In spite of his bodily form, and of his chosen deity, Minos is far from a stupid brute or frenzied killer.

No, Minos likes to believe he embodies the memories of those legendary figures of Ancient Terra - Akhilles, Alaksander who men called the Great and so on - seeking out the enemies champions and either besting them or hoping that his skull finds its way to the side of Khornes throne.

To this end he is not really a team player, though can (and has) fought alongside others on numerous occasions; it is unfortunate that most of them eventually came to the attention of his blades.

No, he is no strategist or battlefield tactician, but he is not yet a ravening monster either. Indeed he remains calm and collected for the most part, combat only sharpening his focus even further, nevertheless needing to isolate himself after prolonged conflict lest he dispatch those around him.

Overall he lives by his own 'code', though even he could not tell you what it is exactly, going where Khorne bids him and accepting his outbursts of violence as they come.

Biography: Minos began his life as Minosian Etrokalos, inductii of the XII legion, his memories of that early life and his first assemblage on Bodt fading in and out just as all his other memories do with exceptional alacrity.

Great detail will not be given here, but needless to say - as a member of the 'Bloody 13th' expeditionary fleet - Minosian was a part of the transformation which overtook the World Eaters legion and forever fractured them from the once-noble War Hounds to a thousand splintered warbands of crazed psychopaths.

The Horus Heresy camy and went, Minosian shed the blood of friend and foe alike, fully embracing the new patronage of the legion by what he saw as the ultimate warrior deity.

Millennia ultimately passed, entire lifetimes of war consumed within the Eye of Terror, which eventually led to the former World Eaters ascending from a mere pawn of the Blood God to a more gifted champion in his name.

After being transformed by his patron, and uninterested in any form of following, Minos (as he was now styling himself) made his way back into real space and, with Khorne's help, a worthy challenge of his skill.

He has been attracted to the service of Eromulus Krynne because of their desire for the gauntlet, a gauntlet washed in the blood of thousands, an artefact worthy of dedication to Khorne, and so he has made his way to Skuberrima and the Screaming Vortex.

Perhaps, finally, he may find a fight worth having, and if not... well...

Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne.

Other: Not currently, but I may think of some later.

Okie dokie, again this is a very rough prolfile, but functional if accepted; I will again probably edit it later, but the base details won't change.

@Jbcool

I like it! Minos is accepted.

In terms of the Butcher's nails, I'll leave that to your discretion, JB.

Was going to be a Khornegor (Khorngor?) Either way, but not a bad idea about a Bestigor. I'm more deciding on the type of Beastman (huge, normal size etc), rather than denomination etc.

@Jbcool

I know precious little about 40k Beastmen, but I can do some digging, if you're stuck for ideas.

Lo and Behold

Tis I

@Ezekiel

[Storms and Shadows] - A Black Crusade inspired 40k Chaos RP.

@Gallows@Bloodrose cool if our dudes just sort of... walk in from the shadows like the epic edgelords Alpha Legion and Night Lord they are?

@Andreyich

[Storms and Shadows] - A Black Crusade inspired 40k Chaos RP.

@Bloodrose Possibly too late, but if it's alright with you, I'm going to give my character a complete make-over. It won't be anything drastic, just so he fits in with the whole... this, better than he does now; also means I can watch everyone else post.

@Jbcool

Works for me, compadre! Just gimmie a knock when he's been re-done, and I'll take a look.

The Introductory IC post is up! Feel free to start moving your characters to Krynne's ship, everyone. Then we can begin!
