Yeah, Fates kind of bucked the trend, but you do that series of a few chapters before hand, the handy dandy tutorial chapters we all know and love, right?
Ansgar Staudinger


Well, color him impressed if a large party hadn't gathered already! Seemed to have just about every area covered, from cavalry style folks, judging by the one woman's armor even if it was aerial in nature, to hardy close range fighters. And with the archer approaching, that covered range. The mage could work at a distance too, so it seemed they had their bases covered. A well rounded group could adapt better than a focused one, even if that focused one was more effective in one or two given situations. The one fellow, one of the ones from his homeland, just from the opposing nation, spoke at length about having faced the things before and seemed to be taking a leadership role of some sort or another. Fine by him, really, Ansgar thought. He wasn't one for leading anymore, hadn't been for years. The questions about supplies drug an idle shrug from the soldier, he wasn't one for keeping up with supplies. Scrounge up some food, get a drink down his throat, and he was set for the evening. But he made a remark on the matter though, as the group gathered up rather nicely. "Unless we need to pack copious amounts of drink, I'm not much good for scrounging supplies. Not in a city, at any rate."

If they were back on Airi island, finding supplies would not be nearly as hard. Bandits stockpiled for some reason, when they routinely raided and wiped each other out when they weren't turning on anyone foreign to the island at all. That was his experience with the place, at any rate, being one such outsider that refused to bend the knee to the first bandits he stumbled across. He'd earned quite a few scars while on Airi, and he regretted none of them. But he did not readily pick out others that made it brazenly clear that they hailed from Airi, so he was not readily concerned. Besides, not like he had any valuables beyond his lance and the clothes on his back. The one kid who had introduced himself mentioned packing supplies and the idea about swimming, alongside a choice bit about getting back home. Seems quite a few of them were from the south, that might complicate things if any of them had been high up enough to hear reports about what happened during his flight. "Way I see it, home is where the heart is, sappy and poetic as it might be. And long as my heart isn't gouged out and mounted on a pike somewhere, that'll be a bit south of wherever I lay my head. Asides that, most folk call me Ans, short for Ansgar. Certainly a pleasure. Already got my worldly belongings on me, so I ain't in a rush."

Oh his name would certainly be reported, and I suspect the General would be very unkind about Ansgar, considering that Ansgar had gone and killed the man's daughter, even if it was in self defense. So, likely, the fact he disobeyed orders, murdered his superior, and ran would be the general things reaching her. Certainly not even half the story, but hey, to the victor, goes the ability to write history. And the General was in a better position to write history than he was. Certainly can be embellished if you want, since the stories reaching other ears would be out of his control completely.
@Chieri

I was actually debating, mentally, whether to suggest your character maybe having heard rumors or stories of what mine did, considering the fact they both hail from the same nation. The 'murder' of a general's daughter might have gotten some attention after all! That certainly wouldn't create any tension at all, none whatsoever!
Hmm, been thinking on how much folks backstories might end up playing into the plot, certainly got an interesting potential for quite the dynamic group.
@Rithy

Well, the main problem being it doesn't seem like she has a plan, so certain allies might act in ways that might not help. And don't discount Ansgar's Carapace, its better than the standard issue t-shirt!
@Rithy

At the moment, he's not the one standing in front of a mob of armed civilians/cultists that already murdered and trampled the guardsmen guarding the place. So I would argue that point.
@Rithy

Oh, glorious sacrifices for the good of the Emperor! I should be lucky that the opportunity arises.
Being the only normal in the group is fun though, it creates an interesting perspective, doubly so when he has to face something the others are equipped for, not him.

And don't get too close too fast, he does have an awful lot of explosives. Might want to listen to your own siggy there, especially if he is expecting things to not get better. Might as well go out with a bang, right?

His warddrobe still needs more bats to fit, even if he does wear enough dark colored clothes though! He is the guardsmen they deserve, but not the one they need.

Ansgar Staudinger, Batman of W40k. The comparison alone is made of win, even if it doesn't mean the best xD
