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.

As the door behind the marines opened


What door?

If you mean the massive door that I mentioned, well that won't be opening from within, if you mean just some random door that hasn't been mentioned but is still there and they've all come from...then fair dinkum.

Certainly not the mutants you have to look out for though.
I think what has happened here is that most of us were believing that he was an average Weirdboy, but you've made him into some form of ultra-Weirdboy who doesn't need to be around other Orks to function. That is what I have a problem with, as you've essentially created your own lore within the lore to turn your character into something that - by your own admission - doesn't exist in the Greenskins of 40K.

If I came into a 40K RP of your own devising, hypothetically, and made him...let's say...a Tzeentchian psyker who didn't need warp energy to 'do his thing' because of a special section of DNA he had discovered within the Thousand Son progenoid gland, unlocked the secret of, and now meant he could pretty much use his abilities at will without any risk from the warp or effort.

You see where I'm going?

I'm well aware that it's not the exact same thing, just the fact he's an Ork makes it different, but you could have just made him another type of Ork - or even a Weirdboy still, we'd have come across other Orks eventually, until then he could simply maul people by the fact he's about as bodily powerful as most humans even without his powers.

As I said, I'm not going to make you alter anything or do anything, in fact I' say we've made/are making progress.

I'm going to make a post tomorrow anyway, so either kill Vedius before then or do something else. The choice is yours.
@Za Warudo@Mach2@Big Dread@Dogematix

Okie dokie, @Stitches has completed their CS, and I imagine their comrade won't be far behind; so, I'll either get the intro post up tomorrow or the day after - scouts honour!

Thank you all for waiting, I can accept that it does get boring and so on, and that interest does wane, but hopefully it'll all be worth it...or I'll try to make it so.
Just to clarify a couple of points here.

Nowhere did I ever state that this was a Chaos RP, in fact in the OP I specifically said that characters did not need to be aligned with Chaos.

However, we are currently in a place where the warp is literally Bleeding into the Materium.


How so? I never said it came through a warp rip, only that it had entered the system; could well have just drifted there. While there would be residual warp energy about, I wouldn't say it was bleeding into the materium.

We are talking about Literal magic.


No we're not, psychic phenomena - at least in 40k - is far different from 'magic', something closer to fantasy where a wizard can conjure things out of thin air. The Eisenhorn Trilogy is a good example of this, the protagonist having to focus each time he even so much as nudges someones mind, becoming psychically strained when using more powerful examples...then again, he is a quite low level psyker, so who knows?

2.) Over the past several hours, he's manifested 5 spells. Yes, psykers are limited. On average, a properly trained librarian can cast two to three spells reliably within the time frame of discharging his bolt pistol in a single burst. He would need to focus himself again, in somewhere around two to three minutes.


But Urgrugg is not a trained librarian, as far as I'm aware, and he has used some large spells...

On this point, since you called be out for not asking sooner, how would you categorise Urgrugg? What sory of psyker level would he be in the Imperium and - although I'm pretty sure you've already answered this - how is he able to manifest his psychic powers without access to the gathered Waaagh! energy of other Greenskins? I'm nearly certain you gave an answer, but I can't find it.

All mentions of the table top game don't matter; I'm stating now that what we're doing here is coming from the lore alone - if I had wanted this to be a table-top RP that focused on using the codices and such for measurements and standards of power, then I would have deliberately put this RP into the sites Table Top section instead.

Is that seriously what's wrong? Everyone is mad because my character can put out a lot of damage? It's 40k. Everyone has the potential of massive damage output. Hyper-advanced technology does that.


That is true, but at this very moment nobody has any hyper-advanced technology, nor are they likely to find it aboard this hulk, so we are stuck with a load of characters that your own - from what I've read so far - could simply blink out of existence without much effort. This may not be the case, but currently he is the most powerful one in the RP, everyone else at least a tier down or possibly two if you want to think of it in RPG terms of power.

I'm not going to force you to do anything you don't want to, that's not the sort of GM I am, and if you wish to destroy Vedius with a psychic demolisher shell then I give you full permission to do so; I would think about what you'd do after that though.
@jbeil Yes, that's what I meant, absolutely...
Happen to be room for a Crusader in this debacle?


Send me a sheet and we'll see! :)

I don't see it being a problem though, as long as you gel with everyone else.

@BCTheEntity@Kratesis@jbeil

Gather up the scum...we've got heretics to torture.
@Ollumhammersong@Wraithblade6

I'll get us out into the wider space, then we can get going, we'll just carry Drunk along with us. Until he returns.
So... I'm gonna just flood the place with genestealers. There's nothing I can think of otherwise that would result in the two marines not just getting pasted.


Okay, with all due respect, it is things like this that make me want to GM your character out of existence. He appears to have near-infinite power(s), apparently from all over the goddamn spectrum of psychic powers, is also capable of close-quarter fighting because of both being an Ork AND due to his force weapon.

The very fact that you can't find a way to NOT paste two Astartes - the Emperor's most capable warriors - without flooding a place with genestealers should really give you some indication that you've gone too far.

Feel free to write a rebuttle, in fact I would be happy if you did, as to why I shouldn't just plant the entire Preceptory of Sororitas right on his head.
@Jbcool I got to thinking. I'm not sure how much a Fallen would know about the Emperor's Children as far as the Heresy. The Dark Angels blew up their homeworld after the battle on Terra, so probably word had gotten out about the traitor legions. Xepherial might not trust Vedius due to history.


I don't think they'd know too much - Caliban was obscured by warp storms until Lion arrived to break the news; either way, Xeph would be pretty foolish to shoot his only ally at this point IMHO.
@Wraithblade6@DracoLunaris@Zelosse

It was clear that the Mandrakes, in spite of all their Warp-born powers and shadow play, would be not use against even this novice Kill-team in an extended engagement. They had come and they had fought, they had sucked the life and terror from over a dozen victims, and now they had no true reason to remain and obstruct the Astartes any longer. After all, Dracon S'rath now knew of the impertinent Mon-Keigh threat to his ship, no doubt he would send more ferocious adversaries for these petulant weaklings before long.

With quick hisses and last strokes at the Marines, the Mandrakes vanished as swiftly as they had arrived, even the corpses of their slain comrades simply dissolving into the shade and shadows used to cover the escape of the still living.

Moments of silence followed, only the rush of air and the constant wailing of broken minds shattering what would have been a perfect peace...

You should not have come here, Mon'Keigh...” came a hissing and sibilant voice from beyond the doorway of the chamber “...you have interrupted my experiments with your arrival, and I do not suffer fools to live.

There were several more slave pens to traverse before Kill-team Epsilon could reach the corridor and junction therein, but whether they could – or would – reach it or not was another matter entirely.
