An Unholy Mass: Warhammer 40,000 RP

Accepting new players!

Summary:

- A tale of perversion, corruption, and HERESY 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, each character begins at the bottommost rung of the Chaos hierarchy, and I will immediately reject any God-like beings or over the top characters.

- I expect, nay, I actively encourage Chaotic behaviour; human sacrifice, perverse sexual acts, the killing of innocent...but let's not get too over the top with it. Hence this RP shall be rated 'mature'.

- Our tale takes place in the most up-to-date period of 40K timeline, the beginnings of the 42nd Millennium.

- All humanoid races will be considered - including Abhumans and the like.

- As the RP progresses, you may well be given 'gifts' by the Dark Gods (they being...me), remember this and enjoy.

- Just to reiterate an earlier point; no super-human killing machines, characters are to begin as the lowest of the low, although only in the Chaos hierarchy. Otherwise they can be anywhere from a Guardsman, to a Cultist, to a member of a Planetary Governors personal retinue and so forth. 

-Those that wish to RP a traitor Astartes will need to have both an exceptional CS, and high casual/advanced writing skills. I'm not going to restrict this class, but I wouldn't encourage it either.

- 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. 

- The tale shall begin in a location known only to those who know where it is and serve the Ruinous Powers (I'll set it up once the IC gets started), where we can gather the group, interact and so on. If you have any idea(s) of your own that might spice things up, please feel free to talk to me, though I make no promises that said idea(s) shall be implemented into the RP.

- 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.

Introduction/Info:

 "The Hive World of Ephron V is a most typical world of that type; it is a vast structure of metal, flesh and faith that sprawls over the entire central continent of the planet and bursts skyward like some human termite mound. On the uper levels the decedant higher classes feast, fornicate and generally act like monarchs, the middle levels of the Hive being home to employed workers - clerks, labourers, factory workers and the like...as well as the central Arbites Precinct - those that may not fit into the highest of the hierarchy, but still make a decent Throne from their efforts and devotion to the God-Emperor. Yet, below all these, getting gradually worse and desititute as the level number drops from the tens to the singular digits, are the crushed and unwashed masses of forgotten and lost souls that live and mostly die in the very darkness where they were born. No-one knows, and no-one really cares.

It is with apprehension that the upper class now quiver, for their are rumours abroad that groups have began forming in the lower levels, strange figures making their way among the dross and dispossessed, and groups seen chanting to idols in the lowest recesses of the Hive. Unsure of what this means, or to what they are preying, various expeditions have been sent into the lower hive, many never being seen or heard from again, others returning with talk of business-as-usual where the mutants and castoffs of the Ephron society are concerned.

Little do they know, or could even percieve, the truth of the matter!

Chaos is there on Ephron, and they should be very, very, afriad."

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 group of individuals who have, in their own ways, dedicated themselves to the worship of one or more of the Chaos Gods; you might be a powerful figure in your every day life, or you may be the poorest beggar in an Underhive somewhere, it really does not matter! What matters is that you have turned from the faith and light of the Imperium and the Emperor, toward the temptation and ensnaring options of what-could-be, if only you travel the path before you.

To begin with, as stated above, we will have a short 'gathering of the clans' - basically getting everyone together in one place, a location I shall reveal to everyone when/if I get enough folks to begin the IC portion of this RP. Your characters will be alerted to this 'meeting' depending on who they are, where they are any so on, but leave that to me. After this little get together, and hopefully some interaction, we shall proceed with our nefarious and dark activities in the Imperium.

You can be more-or-less whomever you wish to be, although I would advise a lower ranking character - a Planetary Governor would draw quite a lot of attention if he suddenly went AWOL from his post, don't you think?

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_.. 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

- Sort your squabbles out in private. If you persistently disagree with another player or they're grieving you, involve me. If necessary, I will get the moderators involved.

- No godmodding (controlling someone else's character).

- Try to post at least once a week- though more if you can, let me know if you can't post soon, and please try for at least three paragraphs.

- One character per player.

- My decisions are final.

Character Sheet

Please submit your character sheets via a Private Message to me, NOT the Character tab; once accepted, you may then post them to the tab.

I am going to make this both a test of your writing prowess, and an exercise in imaginative creation. Therefore, I would like everyone just to write a series of prose that details everything you would usually find in a character profile - name, looks, and so on.

You may feel free to include, or indeed to not include, what non-integral parts you may feel like; you may wish to keep something back, for example, or to reveal their personality through RPing.

It may also be as long or short (though not too short) as you wish.

In essence, it is up to you.

I look heartily forward to seeing what you can create.
