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.

Colour me interested.
What's your take on non-humans in the Imperial ranks?


This is the Galactic Empire at its heyday - there are no non-Humans in the Imperial ranks (Thrawn aside.)

@JackalopeLove@Amaranth Eeeexcellent...if you'd like to get started on a Character Sheet, then please do.
@Amaranth@JackalopeLove@tech@Emnosym@Louis Dabout[@BlingtheWing]

I'll need actual confirmation that you're around, then we can get Character Sheets written and and get this thing going.
@Big Dread Excellent, and I applaud you! My own schedule is fucked, and I would appreciate the help.

As to your question...

We're just taking off from Earth's atmosphere, the President of the Planetary Council (like an 1800's UN) has just given a 'congratulations and good luck' speech, and our orbiting 'wagon train' of colony ships (probably two dozen civilian ships and a few of mixed nationality military ones) is about to set off for the stars. Each colony 'wagon' is self-contained, but we can communicate through screens much like those from Star Trek.

Imagine this, but IN SPEEEEEEEEESS.

Does that answer the question?

P.S.

Overall, imagine space like the frontier or the prairie, with Earth as the Eastern United States - whatever lays beyond that prairie is unknown, and we are the pioneers.
Bump.
@Amaranth@JackalopeLove@tech@Emnosym@Louis Dabout

We have enough people here to form our rag-tag squadron, if everyone is actually here and active enough; if not, then we'll sadly have to wait for folks that are.
@Lady Selune I take it that we won't be seeing your Dialogus any time soon?

@Kratesis@BCTheEntity@Andreyich@jbeil

Thank you for waiting, all!

After we've disarmed and locked up the 'Governors' Guardsmen - feel free to have a bit of a scuffle, then shove them into the gunship under guard - my next post will get us off this bloody platform (I'm starting to feel like Tolkien and the Shire) and into some 'proper' sleuthing and dank grimdark RPing.

The Confessor asked a pertinent question, and it just so happened that Kliment had seen such a device before – a long, long, time ago in a sector far, far, away. It was only after the sizzling stench of roast flesh and burst brain matter cleared from his nostrils that the Inquisitor regathered his thoughts and with them the wherewithal to yell a warning to those nearest him.

“Cover your eyes, cover your eyes!”

His ears heard the tell-tale clicking of half-a-dozen implanted devices, and through his closed eyelids he could still make out the dying flickers of a mass suicide. Once more the malodorous whiff of bubbling eyeballs and sludgy grey matter caused his nostrils to recoil; although he was a man, albeit a supremely powerful one, who had overseen the death of entire planets, and who fought beside the Sororitas regularly, he had never taken to the smell of crisp tissue and body fat.

“Is everyone alright?” He queried as he uncovered his eyes, “is ever-”

Almost to a person there were no serious injuries, and those Sisters with helmets had nothing to fear, but there was one casualty – one who had been standing nearby and should not have been – who now lay upon the ground and was revealed as something other than what (or whom) he should have been.

“God-Emperor...” muttered the Inquisitor, brushing aside the suddenly frail hand that sought to cover the face of the fallen Planetary Governor, “what have you done with Von Behner?!”

Staring back at him from beneath the half-melted mask was someone who was as much the Governor as he was a High Lord of Terra. Though they had been wearing the face of Von Behner, or a likeness at least, the heat projected from the suicide of the prisoners had scorched the synthetic flesh and revealed just another piece in the puzzle.

Before he could pounce upon the prostrate interloper he already knew what was about to happen, and sure enough that now familiar click saw the skull light from within and skin run like wax. All that was, or had been, the perfect mimic of the Governor was only so much sloughed carcass now.

“Aaahhh!”

Kliment raised his bolt-pistol at the closest Guardsman and waved a hand toward the remaining soldiers gathered nearby, “arrest them! Take their weapons and arrest them.” There may be a slight scuffle, a couple of persons may die, but the Inquisitor had had enough of playing games.

Immortality Through Faith.

It was a phrase that was not singular to this planet alone, one that he had heard before, and just like that – surrounded by armed combatants but without any fear of them – he felt a sudden tingle of fear run down his spine.
@Kratesis@Jbcool We gotta get going, guys.


Indeed, and I'll get a post up shortly - tomorrow at the latest.

Again (as usual!) I can only apologise - I work in fast food and, thus far, work has been...well...non-stop. Easter holidays and all.

I'll get this moving a lot more once that's over, but for now I'll stick to trying to get a post up.
@Emnosym@JackalopeLove@tech

If any/all of you are still interested in this, you can write a character sheet whenever you'd like; anyone else is welcome too.
