@Ellion

Yes I am still alive and in this roleplay.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Out of curiosity, what sort of rumors and stories of the Squads activities have managed to spread? I don't want to read all the posts since Andrew vanished in order to make his return somewhat more realistic (In that he doesn't know all the details) but what would he have heard about (Misinformation, tall tales and outright lies included. Don't tell me what is what).

Treasure Hunters - A Warhammer Fantasy Adventure

Well, Fortune's back on deck at least.

Treasure Hunters - A Warhammer Fantasy Adventure

As he scrambled up the side of the ship, fighting against the waves, the wind, the biting cold that was sapping his strength and the slippery planks underfoot, Fortune feared that this might have been the end for him... and he was somewhat annoyed that the story of Fortune De Vigny would end so soon, dying to save a maiden was... acceptable.

These morbid thoughts died the moment something strong started to pull the rope up, aiding his own efforts greatly. Fortune didn't look back as he heard the sound of wood crashing against wood below as he climbed/was pulled up onto the deck... and received a clipped ear from the grumpy dwarf that had helped to save his life. While a little degrading, Brokk had pulled his ass out of the fire and there were more important things currently on Fortune's mind... such as the very large Norscan raiders that were still on the ship and freezing to death as his icy wet clothing clung to him tightly.

He also had to deal with the issue that his sword and shield were currently below deck, out of harms way... Which would require him to get passed the raiders in the way.

Not wishing to be unarmed right now, Fortune looked down at the weapon that a nearby dead Norscan had dropped... It didn't look demonic (and if it was he suspected that this raid would have gone in a completely different direction to begin with) and right now any weapon was better then none at all; At least he could die fighting. Attempting to (and failing) to fight the shivers that were running through out his body and causing his jaw to chatter, Fortune seized the axe and took a moment to try and get a feel for it's weight. For someone who was used to using a sword or a spear, a battle axe was a weird weapon to try and wield and it to both himself and anyone watching that he was somewhat clumsy with the weapon... but it was better then nothing if he was backed into a corner.

"Thank you for saving me. I'm going to go and get my sword and shield. Happy hunting to you." Was all he said to Brokk as Fortune darted away towards the door that would lead into the ship, taking care to not slip or trip on the slippery surface of the water, blood and corpse covered deck. He was tried, sore, actively fighting (and slowly losing) against the elements and he was wielding a class of weapon he wasn't familiar with without armor to help make up for gaps his mistakes would no doubt cause... At least if he could get his sword and shield he could at least give a halfway decent fight.

Are We the Bad Guys? - A WH40k RP [Mature]

For the Greater Good.

Are We the Bad Guys? - A WH40k RP [Mature]

Fio'Ui.

Name: Fio'Ui Fi'Rios Gal'leath (Fio'Ui to new people. Gal'leath to friends)

Age: 23 Tau'cyr's

Gender: Male

Race: Tau Fio (Earth Caste)

Religion: Tau'va (The Greater Good)

Appearance: Fio'Ui Fi'Rios Gal'leath seems to almost be a stereotypical image of a Fio caste Engineer/Researcher. Fio'Ui stands rather tall for a member of the Fio caste with a pair of broad, strong shoulder to top off a stronger body frame that only thousands of years of selective breeding can achieve. While physically stocky and stout enough to handle the straining workload of manual labor, Fio'Ui's talents in engineering and researching alien technologies are where he serves the Tau'va and thus he is not as physically fit as those who have dedicated themselves fully to the physical duties that the Tau'va requires.

Back home Fio'Ui tended to wearing clothing of Tau make that were simplistic and basic but highly functional and well taken care of, but since he was 'borrowed' from his home Sept by a passing Rogue Trader he has been forced to adopt Gue'la attire into his wardrobe.

Fio'Ui shaves his head regularly so that only a single scalp lock remains, decorated with two plainly decorated ringlets. His eyes are a dark red to contrast his dark blue skin, a shallow line running down from his forehead to where a Gue'la's nose would be.

Personality: Raised from birth to understand and believe in the values of the Tau'va, Fio'Ui knows with all of his heart that in a galaxy filled with barbarians, darkness and backwards superstitions that the Tau will enlighten the galaxy with the light of the Tau'va and that it is the duty of every member of the Tau Empire regardless of Caste, Sept or Species to aid in spreading the light of the Tau'va as far as possible. A natural optimist (The unenlightened may dare to call him naive), Fio'Ui is one of those people that tries to look on the bright side of a given situation no matter how bad it might actually be.

Inquisitive by nature, when Fio'Ui encounters the unknown and new (normally in the form of alien technology) he allows his desire to understand and uncover its secrets a great deal of leeway in order to sate his curiosity to the benefit of the Tau Empire.

History: ((OOC Note: Due to the nature of Tau names and how they evolve, I will just be referring to Fio'Ui as Fio'Ui even through his name would have changed as it grew up to avoid confusion.))

Born into the Fio caste on the recently established Sept world of Fi'Rios, Fio'Ui was raised alongside the other children of the Fio caste and given an education in both the Tau'va and the skills required so that he could serve it to his fullest potential regardless of where his talents turned out to be. As he grew older and was introduced to the different variety of classes and skills, Fio'Ui found that he had a talent for engineering and research, which started him on the path of the engineer proper.

In time, Fio'Ui found himself working on a research team that investigated and when possible reversed engineered alien technology. This was a role that Fio'Ui excelled at, even if his successes were limited by the fact that most of the alien technology was that of the Be'gel (Orks) that had inhabited Fi'Rios before they were purged and the planet colonized.

One day a voidship of a Rogue Trader visited the planet, offering business and trading opportunities. One such opportunity was several strange pieces of ancient alien technology that the Trader wanted to be brought back into working order which was offered to Fio'Ui... after he had awoken with a splitting headache on board the Traders ship after it had left Fi'Rios. Once he had adjusted to having been abducted, Fio'Ui began work on the alien relic with a team made up of humans with the odd alien who was given a similar offer like the one he was given.

Things very quickly started to get... weird. Those around him working on the devices started to change and not for the better... Some of them started to witness visions or see things...disturbing things. It's a horrifying thing to watch a Gue'la claw out their own eyes with their finger nails before biting off their tongue and drowning in their own blood while screaming in some painful, alien tongue that didn't seemed to be designed for a Gue'la's body to physically speak. Others started to mutate at an almost unheard of rate, the most astonding and disturbing of which was an arm growing out of a man's chest and being full grown and functional within minutes!

Those afflicted with the mutations or visions and didn't kill themselves were taken away by the Trader's men at arms and never seen again.

The relics were clearly the cause of the insanity and mutations, but how they were doing it was a complete da'noh to Fio'Ui and that bothered him. He suspected that the relics gave off some sort of radiation or strange energy signature that poisoned and mutated those around them. Some of the Gue'la muttered things about demons and 'Chaos' as the cause under their breaths but Fio'Ui would not be swayed by superstitious mambo jumbo.

He knew in his heart that for the safety of the Empire he could never return to Tau space. He had been exposed to whatever was causing the mental degradation and mutations just as long, if not longer then most on the ship and just because he hadn't exhibited any side effects or signs of infection didn't mean that he wasn't as tainted by it as the Gue'la whom had clawed out his own eyes. Whatever it was could not be allowed to reach and infect the Empire. But there could be more relics and technology like this out there and the rest of the Empire didn't know about it...

For the Tau'va, Fio'Ui swore to uncover as many of the secrets of these strange relics as possible with what time he had left so that he could send the information gathered back to Tau space so that they might be educated and warned about the dangers of this strange tech before more Tau encounter it. While the Gue'la seemed to be filled with backwards superstitions, the fact that there seemed to be numerous cults across a number of planets that worshiped this strange and poisonous energy suggested that these sorts of things were wide spread and only somewhat uncommon... For the Tau'va, answers had to be found where they could and Fio'Ui was going to pursue this knowledge with his dying breath!

Skills:
Tau Engineering: A lifetime of being trained to be an engineer.
Research/reverse engineer Alien technology: While he hasn't had as much of a chance to practice this as he would like, Fio'Ui does seem to have a knack for it.
Science Minor: While not as adept as someone whom has completely dedicated themselves to this field, Fio'Ui does have a working knowledge of various scientific fields in relation to his engineering.

Equipment:
His Engineering tools: Most are of Tau make, but there have been some human additions added on recently.
Two sets of plain but sturdy clothing.


Misc: In order to unwind and distress after a long days work, Fio'Ui likes to listen to a wide range of music depending on his mood.
