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.
Do you like to fight and die in the God-Emperor's name? Do you like being issued with only the barest amount of protection and a flashlight for a weapon? Do you seek glory, fame and honour in a galaxy where everything can and probably will kill you?!
Well then, look no further!
I'm looking for brave Guardsmen and women (we're pro equality when it comes to dying) to fill the ranks of a combined regiment and shed some foul enemy blood in the name of the holy Emperor.
Do you feel the call to battle? Interaction with a cast of odd characters in a galaxy where even planets turn out to be vast daemonic entities?
I read that Beastmen in general were shunned and barred entrance to the Imperial Guard. More than regular abhumans, since people feared them corrupted by Chaos.
They did serve during the Emperor' time, but not anymore. (Tyvm crazy Ecclesiarchy and religious nuts)
Then you'll also know that they can be recruited, as with any other Abhumans, they're just usually formed into suicide squads and sent into the teeth of the enemies guns...or teeth.
Can everyone PLEASE READ the OP before doing anything else, our battle against the Greenskins is done, as this RP picks up at the end of the last one - basically we're just all lining up outside the re-taken capital city in an 'end of campaign' assembly.
@agentmanatee Right, looks like both your leg and arm bionics are of the 'common' type - Luke Skywalker-esque replacements that function alright but give no additional benefits as far as strength etc go. Perhaps somewhat more durable though to weapon strikes, shrapnel etc.
If you want them to be skinless robo-limbs then that's fine, or they can be well enough crafted that they blend in with the rest of her.
Ninke can be in the assembly if you want, or she can be in a medicae tent somewhere when the RP begins. It's up to you.
Bleddy Hell, I do promise you won't have to keep reminding me...eventually; I've got a night shift today, so if you'll give me until tomorrow (or just continue without me for a post or so) then I'll get one up ASAP then.
@agentmanatee I know at least one of her limbs, I think the arm, was replaced with a 'normal' bionic replacement AKA no better or worse than her original. As for her leg, well, I'll need to roll for that methinks.
@NecroKnight I'd prefer the 'standard' Abhumans, like Ratlings or Ogryns, but I've no problem with a Felinid. She will be looked down on, but if you can handle that then it's fine. As with my other RPs, this is a 'high casual'/Advanced RP, so if there's a distinct lack of semi-colons and commas in your posts...you're most welcome.
Looking forward to seeing how you explain their presence.
- 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.
- Romance, violence and so forth are expected and accepted, let's just keep it to a 'adult' level without it getting X-rated!
- Our tale takes place in the most up-to-date period of 40K timeline, the beginnings of the 42nd Millennium.
- 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.
- 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.
- This will be a 'high casual - advanced' RP, correct spelling and the like is encouraged (although I'll let less obvious mistakes slide), and at least a paragraph per post. An entire novel is welcome, but not necessary.
- A decent grasp of the 40K lore is welcome, but newcomers are entirely welcome as well.
- This RP, for reference(s) sake, could be compared to Band of Brothers, Sharpe/Hornblower, Dirty Dozen as well as many more.
- We will be playing as a composite regiment I.E. one composed of elements from decimated contingents, allowing for variety and, hopefully, more interesting role-playing.
- All elements of the Imperial war machine can/will be represented (minus Astartes etc); Mechanicus, psykers, Naval contingents and the like.
- This will not be a purely military RP, there will be battles and combat, but it will ultimately not be the entire story. Thank the Emperor.
- While I do have plans for the narrative, I'm all too happy to listen to suggestions from participants, questions and anything else.
If you've read the IC part of the first post then you should be fine, but a quick summary is this...
- The Vernum System was under attack by the forces of Warboss Mug Thrakta.
- A crusade was called by the High Lords, under the command of Lord General Militant Egough Van Deer, to cleanse the system.
- The final battle has taken place on Vernum Primas, the captial planet of the system, and where the last RP was set and began/ended.
- ALL the regiments (or what's left of them) that took part in the Crusade, which has lasted some twenty years overall, are now being assembled on the trench-crossed fields outside Vernum Primas to recieve commendations and so forth; this will all be covered in my first post.
Most players will be beginning here, and that's fine, as your regiment/warband/troop is likely to have fought the Orks in other battles of the campaign - so feel free to make those up yourselves - before being bought to Vernum Primas for this parade.
In Character Info:
For a full two decades the armies of the Imperial Guard, just one branch of the cumbersome Imperial machine, have sought to bring to an end the rule of Warboss Mug Thrakta within the Vernum System of the Imperium; arriving from out of the warp one day, followed by millions of his greenskinned boyz, Thrakta immediately set about enslaving those that did not resist - setting them to work constructing crude hab-units and towering edifices to the Ork gods, as well as weapons and armour for his ever growing legions - and destroying those that sought to impede or halt his progress across the system.
The Imperium does not take kindly to any incursion, let alone to losing a system vital to the production of armament, and without so much as a second thought an armada of ships and a faceless muster of Guard regiments were gathered together into a hammer that would strike Thrakta from this world. With the support of Astartes detachments, Naval support and superiority, it took millions of lives and twenty whole years to push the Greenskins back to Vernum Primas - the capital planet of the system, and the last Ork stronghold to take before cleansing operations could begin to wipe out the scourge forever.
On that planet the forces of the Emperor's Imperial Guard stormed the Capitol, enveloping the Orkoid menace in two rings of fire-power – one within and one without; hard was the fighting, and thousands were the lives lost, such formations as the Hirisit 482nd and 88th Cadian Mechanized Infantry taking over fifty-percent casualties in the whirlwind of close-quarter combat and urban fighting that ultimately saved the entire Vernum System from becoming a new Ork dominion.
Lord General Militant Egough Van Deer has assembled every remaining soldier on the very trench marked fields that were only a day ago soaked with blood. Each regiment, decimated or no, has been called to attention and assembly upon these fields, and after this 'victory parade' it can only be a matter of time before each and every man and women are once more sent to die in the God-Emperor's name once more...
Out of character info:
Welcome, one and all, to the grim darkness of the future where their is only war!
So, there you go; we shall begin as our regiment is fused into one, outside the walls of Vernum City as the victory parade takes place – it won't be long before we're all awarded medals and sent on the next campaign so no worries there.
The reason I am rebooting this RP is that, as correctly stated by a former player in this RP (which can be found here, we never really got into the 'meat' of the role play and everything that came with it. Character development and so forth. I seek to remedy that.
We'll begin with characters preparing for the victory parade – more an assembly really – and then get going with greater things. Straight back into it, as it were.
Any questions can be asked to me, and I shall be happy to provide answers.
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.
