Bio
Greetings,
I am Jb; Briton by birth, roleplayer by my own hand, and lover of literature. I am also an amateur historian, a receiver of a Bachelors degree in Ancient and Medieval History - quite a useless degree, actually - and would like to think that I'm a fair, honest and open guy.
As far as RP'ing goes, I'm pretty open to most things really, all you need to do is ask! :)
So, if you've ever any questions for me, wish to speak about RP's involving myself or run by myself, or simply feel like a chat, don't be afraid to get in touch.

Another Idea that I may explore is possibly controlling a small Eldar strike-team that is attempting to rescue a "Classified Asset" that is in the sector, trying to use the war to cover their movements. Being that the Imperium are blowing the shit out of everything, they aren't stopping to ask questions or investigate anything.
No.
Honestly, something that I'd suggest in this is saying "You can have 1 character that nobody is allowed to kill without your permission, everyone else you control are as expendable as you'd expect." I mean, if you are temporarily controling a Guardsman who gets thrown into a fist-fight with 5 Space Marines, it's pretty safe to say that poor little Guardsman isn't getting out of that with his breathing privileges intact. However, if you are playing a squad of Space Marines beset by a horde of Cultists, then it should be for the players to decide which will come out on top.
Agreed, and good idea.
Damn you, Flagg, but I am interested.

So we are going to be high ranking officials of the IA/SM/SoB/... who will be more of bickeing bastards trying to get a piece of Gol'kut by sending other people to their deaths?
Did forget to mention that you can post from multiple PoVs, what I mean is that your 'main/primary' guy might be a Guard Colonel or such, but you can post from the view of a Guardsman on the ground etc as well. Main character(s) are just the one(s) that will be used for the 'central plot' and all the bickering/politics/etc that go with it.
I'd say that the highest ranks for a player would likely be higher-tier officials E.G. Regimental Guard commanders, Space Marine Captains, etc. So not one guy in control of all the Guard on the crusade, or all the Astartes, but you get my drift.

Interested. I'm currently interested in taking the Imperial Guard or my own Homebrew Marine Chapter.
I assume a Titan Legion/Knight House are out of the Question?
No homebrew, that goes for anyone and anything, and as for titans and the like, it hasn't gotten out of hand enough (yet) for them to be neccessary. Although it may well come to it by the end.
Imperial Guard, that's fine.
So we are going to be high ranking officials of the IA/SM/SoB/... who will be more of bickeing bastards trying to get a piece of Gol'kut by sending other people to their deaths?
[...]
Would it be possible to play something like a disguised space marine from Alpha Legion helping the Consortium or some prominent priest of Mars send to find a piece of archeotech that is supposed to be hidden on the Gol'kut?
Short answer, yes...to all of it; we'd need to discuss via PM, but I see nothing wrong here.
[...]
I do like the idea that we'll have to make alliances within our own army in order to not get dicked over.
You know, matt, sometimes you come up with some great stuff - this is one of those times!
I'd have to say that I also like that idea, and I can dig it.
Bump for 40K!

Would you be opposed to an inquisitorial team being controlled by someone?
Eeeeh, it would depend; I'm not opposed to it, but I'd need details before I approved it.
I actually had something similar in mind.
O rly?
Please, tell me more.

Can I have the Gol'Kut Consortium, then?
Oh, you'd like that would you?
Let me tell you a couple of things, and we'll see if you still feel the same..
1) You're likely to lose.
2) If I see any Canon defilement, I'll ask you to stop and leave the RP; this mainly depends on just how far you go in defiling it.
3) You can be part of the Consortium - a general, an admiral, a scientist, a mentally deranged preacher, it's up to you! - but I shall be at the head of both sides of the RP (as GM, so more of a guiding influence over the whole thing really.)
If you can deal with these, then feel free to fight for the enemy.

Death=][=Watch
A WH40K Deathwatch RP
A WH40K Deathwatch RP
Accepting new players
Summary:
- A jaunt of daring and do within the Warhammer 40,000 universe and setting.
- Characters can come in most shapes and sizes, their age, experience and so forth pretty much up to the participant; that being said, I will immediately reject any God-like beings or over the top characters. (Yes, even Astartes can be over the top sometimes!)
- Violence is mandatory, but don't overdo it.
- Our tale takes place in the most up-to-date period of 40K time line, the beginnings of the 42nd Millennium.
- All Chapters will be considered, just remember that some may be more welcomed than others.
- I do not require perfect grammar, nor character sheets as long as my arm, but what I do require is effort put into both CS's and IC posts. Keep them a decent – or above decent – length, and make sure spelling etc is up to snuff. Not hard with a Spell-checker.
- The Astartes are the best-of-the-best, but even they are ultimately mortal, so I want to see some grit and 'realism' in this – no marine running off on their own, no overkill, and so on.
- Character sheets will be accepted based on merit alone, not 'first come first serve'; the more odd/powerful your character, the more exceptional your character sheet will need to be.
- At the beginning of the RP your characters have just arrived at a Deathwatch fortress, ready to take their oath and begin fighting for the Ordo Xenos and the Emperor, I've not decided which fortress yet and it will likely be an IC discovery.
- I fully expect, and intend, for characters to evolve over time during this RP. An example might be that someone loses a limb and seeks a bionic replacement, whether they get one will be both up to me as GM and the participants as a whole; character sheets will then be edited to show any changes, as with a TT role-playing game, and just remember that every action will likely have some form of reaction.

In Character Info:
The Deathwatch Space Marines serve the Ordo Xenos of the Imperial Inquisition as its Chamber Militant, the warriors of last resort when the Inquisition needs access to fire-power greater than the Imperial Guard or a team of its own Acolytes or even Throne Agents can provide.
Across the galaxy there are innumerable hostile alien civilisations that threaten Mankind, from the green-skinned Orks, to the monstrous Tyranids, sadistic Dark Eldar, spectral C'tan, and undying Necrons. It is the sacred task of the Deathwatch to stand sentry against all of these terrible xenos races. They are ready to act when such ancient evils rise to threaten Mankind once more. The Space Marines of the Deathwatch form the first, and often only, line of defence against these inhuman horrors.
Unlike other Space Marines, the Deathwatch are not truly a separate Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes; rather, they are a collection of Veteran Space Marines drawn from all of the different extant Chapters who serve together in the Inquisition's service for a discrete period of time.
To be chosen by one's Chapter to serve in the Deathwatch is a great honour for any Space Marine, as only the most elite and experienced members of a Chapter are ever chosen for this extremely hazardous tour of duty, the specifics of which must be kept secret by Inquisitorial order and sacred oath even from a Deathwatch Astartes' home Chapter.
Deathwatch Space Marines do not usually form the standard tactical groups like squads and companies generally used by the Adeptus Astartes. Instead, they operate as small special forces units in close-knit groups of specialists called Kill-teams.
If a xenos threat is particularly dangerous, several Kill-teams may be assigned to deal with it, but if the threat is still too much for even the Deathwatch to handle, the Inquisition will be forced to turn to a full Space Marine Chapter or to multiple regiments of the Imperial Guard to deal with it. In general, if a group of Deathwatch Kill-teams cannot deal with a xenos incursion, that means that the Imperium has a major conflict on its hands and must deploy a full range of its military forces to meet the threat.

Out of character info:
Welcome, one and all, to the grim darkness of the future where their is only war!
As part of a group, you shall be forming a newly recruited Kill-team of the Emperor's (or should I say the Inquisitions) militant arm, the Deathwatch; you have been chosen because you are exceptional, steadfast in your faith and loyalty to Terra, and above all capable of taking on missions that even your average battle-brother would likely be unable to complete successfully.
Nevertheless, no marine works alone – with your battle-brothers you will be forming an elite unit to act as the last resort against Xenos, heretics and threats from both within and without. Your faith must be strong, and your trust in one another unwavering. Even the simplest doubt can lead to Chaos.
To begin with, as stated above, we will have a short section where you all take the oath to the Deathwatch - basically getting everyone together - on an unyet decided Deathwatch fortress, from there we shall go ahead with a narrative I have prepared and see where it takes us.
I expect everyone will have some knowledge of Warhammer 40K, but for those that might lack a little, I have always found warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Warhammer_.. and warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Deathwatch to be one of the best places to look. Just make certain that the information has a source, otherwise it is very likely fan made and therefore not canon.

Rules
1: Have fun
1.5: You can be a Sister of Battle if you want to. This isn't a sexist RP.
2: No Power Playing or Over Powered weapons. It doesn't matter if you're a Space Marine, if your head is removed, your dead. And this also means you can't have a Lascannon in one hand and a Plasma Cannon in the other and go in 'Kick-ass'.
3: The mods have the final say and will enforce these rules. Mods have the right to decline your apps.
4: Actually bother to put thought into your posts. Use proper spelling and grammar. Im not a grammar or spelling Nazi, but it is better if we can read your posts rather than wonder what 'I shut heem in da fase wit a boltr rond.' means
5: No Meta-Gaming. If you don't post yourself picking up a dead mans Flamer, you won't have one. Pure and simple.
6. Classified.
7: Type 'My life for the Emperor' in your app if you read these rules.
8: You can't win every fight. This is sort of part of PowerPlaying, but if you go up against a Hive Tyrant, armed with nothing but a knife, you WILL lose.
9: Don't disrespect other RP-ers. You can have conflict in posts, but no OOC disrespecting.
10: Breaking one of these rules will result in a warning. Breaking them again or failing to apologise will result in a ban. These rules aren't hard to follow.
11: You can and WILL run out of ammo.
12: Your previous rank can't be a high rank. The Ultramarines Chapter won't let you join the Deathwatch if you are their 1st Captain or a High rank. Eg: High Chaplain, Master of the Forge, etc.
