Mulling over some character ideas at the moment. Potentially wanting to roll with a Battle Sister but as there currently no Hereticus inquisitors I may decide on something else.

@Commodore Robot

We can always figure out a reason for a Battle Sister to be involved, even if we dont get a Hereticus inquisitor.

40K: The Holy Ordos

So, I've been having an idea for a Deathwatch Black Shield who wields a power sword imbued with the soul of a demon that serves Malice (Malal). Of course, nobody else would know right away and I'd write it such that the character thinks it's the emperor or some such, but I think it'd be pretty cool to work with. It would be interesting to see how long he could last, and of course being an unwitting servant of Malice he'd be pretty useful fighting Chaos troops. Since it's a bit out there, I'd like your permission before going forwards.

EDIT: I'd have to look into the lore a bit more, though, before committing - as I'd need to decide if he'll be a psyker or not and I can't remember if psykers can BE Black Shields.

@NickTrano

I'm not against the general idea, but a few questions: 1) not sure if Malal has daemon servants (but I'm not against a daemon weapon) 2) since we have a number of death watch marines in the works already, I wonder if you could do a similar idea just with the character being an Inquisitor, part of a retinue, or some other badass warrior type?

Ignore.

@FlaggI will do my best to fix the things like typos, etc. As for serving with Ravenstein my intention was that he had been recently selected, possibly in preparation for this meeting?

@Lord Coake

Okay- sounds good. Again, go hog-wild with making him a standout genius.

Ignore.

@Lord Coake

Looks good! Please post in the Character tab.

Can you fix the paragraphs in the dialogue section and some of the typos a bit? We actually need a literal xenos-tech genius for the upcoming plot, so feel free to turn up the Good Will Hunting-in-grimdark-future-genius dial to eleven on this guy. Maybe he caught the eye of Ravenstein's agents when he got an Eldar/Ork/other xenos weapons system working in the heat of some battle or other?

Also- mention how long he's been working for Ravenstein. 30 might be a bit young for him.

Ignore.

Hello, per the other interest check, I was exploring the possibility of a member of the Deathwatch from one of the chapters not traditionally associated with the Inquisition or the Deathwatch, with the attendant political baggage. I was reading up a bit and Ordo Xenos inquisitors from the more radical factions apparently favor arrangements with these chapters; in essence, the Inquisitor is covering their back with a Space Marine and the Space Marines are covering their backs with political favors from an Inquisitor.

I have a lot of chapters in mind, all of them non-traditional and with baggage and secrets, as I think that the chapter's political machinations, insofar as they exist, need to be tossed in the pot here.

@HeySeuss

Sounds great. Would work well with my character, at least, who is decidedly non-traditional. What did you have in mind specifically?

Ignore.

@FlaggWell thats fine if we leave cannon characters out I just think it adds neat flavor to him since they tend to be involved with the REALLY crazy stuff as opposed to the just moderately crazy stuff

@Themerlinhawk

I dont know much about the Dead Cabal, but I suppose it's fine with me.

Ignore.

@FlaggSo I'm thinking maybe the Character is a member of the Dead Cabal and maybe he's on lone from Inquisitor Ramaeus because she suspects the True Engine might have something to do with the dark pattern (This is wildly not the case I'd assume but when you have inquisitors running around looking for a xenos artifact of unknown specification, it never hurts to be safe.) Thoughts?

@Themerlinhawk

That would be fine, I suppose, but I don't really see the need for him to be involved in the Dead Cabal if he's a Deathwatch marine anyway. I guess my point is I'd rather leave canon characters out of it if possible?

Ignore.

@FlaggFor character sheet applications: do we post the sheets here for you to review, or do we PM them to you?

@Lord Coake

You can post them here.

Ignore.

-double post-

Ignore.

@Flagg Well, anything to not actually GM another RP; count me in.

@Themerlinhawk I'd imagine it'd be something like... "because the Inquisition asked them to."

I'd say you're probably better off without Grey Knights or too many other lone Inquisitors and their retinue, also this'd probably be a job for the Malleus and Hereticus, so I'm unsure as to why Ravenstein is a member of the Xenos? I suppose The Engine could be a Xenos artefact, so I'll reserve (the Emperor's) judgement on that for now.

@Jbcool

I agree about the Grey Knights. If we have one involved in the RP, it will be as a secondary character to a Malleus Inquisitor.

Also, this mission can reasonably accommodate Inquisitors from any of the three major Ordos- it involves daemons, xenos and heretics.

Well, I'm definitely interested. I've got an idea for a retinue member/acolyte if anyone's interested in playing the inquisitor he serves under.

@Lord Coake

Great! You're more than welcome to serve in the retinue of Lord von Ravenstein if he seems to be the kind of dude you'd like to work for (CS forthcoming). If not, there will be other inquisitors in the mix hopefully!
