Warhammer 40k: The Eternal Fight for Freedom - Imperial Guard (Penal) RP

@Jbcool Question, can you play as a penal legion cavalry man? I'm writing up a fan-made IG regiment of horse raised from a feudal world turned prison world which has an insane number of horses/mounts on it. If not, I'll just write in that the guy lost/ate/killed his horse or something.

Race:

Human Lich - Lichs are those Undead who haven't succumb to the affects of undeath and have managed to keep their sanity, minds and appearance. They need not eat, sleep or even breath to survive due to their curse of undeath but still eat and sleep either out of habit or to blend in. However, it comes at a cost of severely damaged nerves to the point they feel neither pain nor pleasure or physical touch, direct light of any kind can hurt them and any magical attacks will deal tremendous damage to their souls have been claimed by the Abyss. They cannot revive the blessing of any god and any blessing they may acquire will damage them regardless of how positive it is; any holy-based attack or ability will cause great pain and is one of the few things that elicit any feeling at all to a Lich.

Reputation:

If there was a need for inspiration for the world's greatest tragedy, Shiroe's former life would have been it. Born to an apathetic mother and a drunkard father who would beat Shiroe when they weren't shouting at each other, it would seem that life was determined to fuck Shiroe up. Few is any friends, failing grades, no physical achievements, no talents, no money, to say that Shiroe had been dealt the worse hand possible in the game of life would be an understatement.

Despite this, Shiroe didn't let it break him. While many would presume that a child like him would fall into depression and commit suicide or become a recluse with angst and edge in their shadow, Shiroe was a never ending fountain of positive vibes with an upbeat personality. There have been more than a few people who have concluded that Shiroe must have some mental illness which causes all of this, but he has none to speak of besides a mild case of dyslexia and a rather poor memory. The boy knew his misfortune and bad luck, he knew all his shortcomings and failures but he accepted it and made it his mission to be the foundation and pillar of a building instead of the shiny exterior or the crowning monument in front. He worked his ass off trying to make money and get into good schools with mixed results, but none of his teachers could ever really hate him for his poor grades and attendance.

In one last stroke of misfortune, Shiroe would meet his end on the same day he was born on his 18th birthday. While withdrawing some hard earned cash to buy himself a small cupcake for his birthday alone, a group of robbers held up the bank he was in. Everyone got to their knees except for Shiroe who instead walked up and punched one of the robbers in the chest. It was a stupid move of course and he was shot soon after but it gave the tellers enough of a distraction to call the cops. Shiroe believed that his life was worth little but he could still make use of it in one last, movie-cliche move. That day, only one civilian died in the robbery and it was Shiroe. The mayor of his town commerated Shiroe's actions and finally, in death, he was hailed as a hero like one he always.

Upon ascending to the afterlife, Shiroe wasn't confronted by any goddess, but instead the God of Death, who was impressed with how stoically the young man faced his hollow gaze with eyes of pitch black. Said eyes soon teared up and burst into a waterfall of sadness as Shiroe told the god of death the tragedy of his life as if recounting a children's story. With the god of death being a sobbing mess, Shiroe asked the god straight up to become a necromancer, a grave heresy in most cases. When asked why, Shiroe simply responded with "I just want friends who can stay with me".

Next thing he knew, Shiroe was standing in a field in new clothing, with a book in hand and a note that said "Best of Luck in your new Unlife."

Personality:

Despite his life, Shiroe is a very positive and outgoing person that just exudes an aura of relax and friendliness. Almost nothing fazes him, no insult, no slander, no lie can really affect him. Even someone stabbing him would only cause Shiroe to question the stabber with an almost disappointment tone thanks to not being able to feel anything as a lich. Full of optimism, Shiroe accepts whatever misfortunes comes to him with a smile and seeing as he is still quite unlucky to this day, he smiles a lot. He's a bit odd and eccentric, but his motives are rarely ever foggy due to a good moral compass

Hardworking as ever, Shiroe wishes to become a masterful necromancer one day and seeks out various books and tomes and other materials in his quest. His natural lack of academic skill has followed him to his new life so he often requires someone else to check his own work and make sure he's not reading the book upside down, a phenomenon more common than it really should be. While many see necromancy as the diving into of dark magics and death, Shiroe sees it as a celebration of life saying "In order to understand death, you have to first understand life".

Skills:

Shiroe is beginning his path of magic and thus knows the system of how to cast spells properly even if he cannot use most magics being a lich and a necromancer. As one might expect, there is a focus for him to use dark and necromancy spells but in an ironic twist, all of the necromancy and death spells which Shiroe knows are derived from healing spells. For example, <Reborn Binding> is actually a bastardized resurrection spell which binds the monster to the caster. <Invocation of the Dead> is just a regeneration spell for the undead and <My Will Be Done> is based on a stat buffing spell but can only be cast on creatures and people who have had <Reborn Binding> cast on them.

Also skilled at the fine art of "Face Punching".

Belongings:

• Book of Souls - The necromancy tome which has been acting as a Dummy's Guide to Dark Magic for Shiroe whose blank pages will only show its messages to undead eyes.
• Scythe Staff - A magical staff based on a scythe meaning its actually just a scythe with some etching and bones on it and unlike most staffs, can be used in combat. In theory.
• Slime familiar - A small, cute slime familiar of Shiroe's that changes colors on its mood but is usually blue or green and is about the size of a steamed bun.
• A Brick - Literally just a brick. Used to hit monsters who get too close.

@Spriggs27@Lucius Cypher Decided to try my hand at making a character. Basically he has the typical edgelord OC backstory with some extra grimdark except having none of the typical edgelord angst, nihilism, etc.

Warhammer Fantasy - Call of Chaos

I thought about how to put this and I have some sour news which I must say is much to my shame.

The level of energy I had for this when I first made it is not nearly as strong as it is now and you may yell at me for as long and loud as you wish for it. I just thought it would be better for me to come out and say this instead of just cowering in the shadows and hoping for it to fade.

That said, I am not going to just leave and call it dead since some of you seem to be quite interested in this. As such, this NRP will still be open and I still will try to do some things with it although it would be best not to wait on me for the first IC post. I will still review NSs and stuff and I am looking for a co-GM. I am going to say it right now that if you want to become co-GM you should know that you will likely be the one pull the weight of the RP.

Sorry for my silence but yeah, that is the situation as of right now.

Also, as for the map, we'll be using the Warhammer Canon map but you aren't bound to the nations and their borders (you could be the Empire of Sigmar but be in Bretonnia's canon position for example), just don't put an Arabic themed nation in the middle of where Kislev would be and you'll be fine.

Humans are Insane

We create beings and even other universes and control every aspect of them and can destroy/alter them however dramatically we want at out whim (comics/movies/games/books/etc)

Warhammer Fantasy - Call of Chaos

@BCTheEntity Again, I'm okay if you more or less use an existing faction, put a twist on a canon one or make up an entirely new one. My only request is that you don't use canon names so no Karl Franz of the Empire or Greasus Goldtooth of the Ogre Kingdoms and such. You're free to diversify as much as you want. Do I encourage it? Yes. Is it mandatory? No since it saves time on the NS creation.

Wal-World: Dead Stock – [Walmart Apocalypse Adventuring RP] [ENDED]

Yeah, I might just lay this to rest seeing as it seems no one else is all that interested.

@Mercenary Lord@Aeonumbra@Paradoxial Its been nice RPing with you and being your GM, any feedback you'd like to give would be much appreciated. Thank's for playing and see you all another time in another place.

Warhammer Fantasy - Call of Chaos

@BCTheEntity Looks good, you can move em over.

@POOHEAD189 Beautiful as always,, you're good too!

@wxps350 Yup the elves can move into Chars

@Madrigal I'd like to request that you change the name of your leader since in the OP I did say "no having Karl Franz lead the Empire" which extends to other races as well. Also, please do remove the mentions of Sigmar and other stuff such as that since to my knowledge there are no Sigmar worshipers in any nation of this RP.

@BangoSkank Skaven also got stuff under most major cities like the empire alone I can think up of Altdorf, Nuln, Marianburg and Middenhiem. Whats preventing full scale invasion most of the time is that the Skaven are too busy fighting among themselves and there's also an unspoken truth where the Empire's leadership refuses to acknowledge the existence of the Skaven hives under the cities since they fear the masses will panic while the Skaven believe themselves to be truly unknown to the world above and often assassinate anyone who speaks of them publicly.

It would be different if the factions were played with, or turned upside-down. Say, a Sylvania where the ruling aristocracy are werewolves instead of vampires. Maybe an Empire where halflings are the norm, and average humans are the minority. Heck, even name swaps, new heroes and characters would go a long way.

@Aristo

All of those things you mentioned are perfectly feasible and acceptable provided they're well written, apologies if the OP or what I said previously didn't say that. And I did mention that I would heavily prefer to see name changes and new characters for certain.

@Willy Vereb@Aristo@POOHEAD189@BangoSkank

I'm using the canon WFB map since its gives everyone a rough idea of where to be, allowing people to skip over a part of an NS and also prevents the classic NRP thing of having wildly different cultures next to each other since its a pet peeve of mine to see notGermany, notChina, and notMexican all right next to each other and having very little in similarity.

If you really want an original map, then go find me one that could actually be used. I also trust most people to be good enough to be able to write NSs without worrying about location unless they really want Araby to be in where Kislev is or something in which case that's another issue entirely.

Warhammer Fantasy - Call of Chaos

@Willy Vereb If I said that then I use GM power to modify it ay my whim but I don't remember saying "this is strictly going to be Free Form". I'm using the WFB map becuase I'm lazy and I really don't want to be bothered with making a new world map so I'm using WFB map plus I know its just notEurope in that map, its where most of the factions currently are so I decided that I decided it would be best to just get a map focused on that area instead of overwhelming with a world map.
