Kaithe DameHello again, id be interested in porting my character Sgt. Lions of the 458th "Shields of Iconne".
Name: Watch Sergeant Gavin Lions
Age: 45
Gender: Male
Role: Sergeant
Summary:
Galvin Lions is am Imperial Guardsmen from the 458th Shields of Iconne. Originally just a PDF soldier, he was drafted by lottery and sent off to one of many warzones and campaigns across the sector. After his regiment was reduced to a mere 300 men, the 458th would be rolled in with several other decimated regiments to form a new mixed formation to be sent off to another warzone aboard the Fortune's Dominion. From this exprience he has gained an intense hatred of Chaos and recidivists.
Appearance:
A muscular stocky-built man with a piercing gaze that is hereditary.
The armor of the 458th Shields of Iconne is modeled after the Cadian tradition with upgradable inserts that can be added over time. It is of plasteel construction and departs from the Cadian tradition in that it bears a large circular armored belt buckle bearing an image of the principal shrine of the shrine world of Iconne, this is polished steel to a shine. It depicts a giant greek plinth the size of a hive which bears a gigantic copper statue of Sanguinius, primarch of the Blood Angels. It is said that Sanguinius set foot on the world during the time of reunification.
The armor is itself light grey in color and the fatigues are khaki. The belt and pouches are made from treated grox hyde. The boots bare a white surface on the upper side which is polished for parade duty. The helmet worn is also of Cadian lineage, with a bright gold Aquila on the front, it contains a microbead.
Records:
Sgt. Lions came from a family of pilgrims. Visiting the holy sites eventually they settled into a life on the shrine world of Iconne. Finding a job there was no mean feat and started them along a path of both toil and learning. Eventually learning the rotes of maintenance of enough of the hives systems to be considered useful they were promoted to lay tech adepts. Many of the trinkets and religious icons they have, have been passed down generation after generation. Sgt. Lions is a 3rd generation Iconnian. During many a long cold vigil there is only the night and his book on imperial saints to keep him company.
Gavin Lions was selected by lottery for service in the PDF of the Shine world of Iconne. Primarily concerned with repelling Orkoid incursions Guardsman Lions maintained a watch station outside the hive city armory near the base of one of the bridge towers. Though not particularly respected, his role was nonetheless valuable when it comes to chasing out cults and hunting the chaos twists that live in the ventilation ducts that feed the hive. His job does come with some perks, being generally better than average rations and access to the armory he defended with his life.
Personality:
Gavin Lions is a dependable friend to his fellow Guardsmen and a ferocious enemy to anything that might threaten them. Something of a father figure due to his comparative age, he can often be found putting himself in between the enemy and his squad. It was due to this tendency when observed by officers that he was first given armory access to a power fist.
He is, like most of the 458th, especially pious and a keen observer of the imperial faith, as such he regularly attends mass whenever the regiment priest is holding one. He also collects trinkets to add to his weapon attached by chains, these all represent his faith and a few are from the warzones he has faced.
Sgt. Lions is a determined and implacable combatant. Choleric as a leader, he is decisive and leads from the front taking charge of situations personally, and never afraid to do what he orders his men to do. His men are ever ready for action and familiar with the rigors of battle.
Skills:
- Advanced survival training (fieldcraft)
- Advanced mechanized warfare training (armored fist training)
- Power fist proficiency training.
- Shotgun Marksman training. (armored fist training)
- Las weapon Marksman training (command squad secondment)
- His hobby is reading up on the imperial saints and collecting trinkets of faith.
Equipment:
Sgt. Lions has been entrusted with a power fist from the Regiments armory. The fist itself is a relic though this is not to say that it is some gleaming example inlaid with gold, instead, it is covered with scrapes and pock marks, the paint long scuffed off revealing the silvery grey adamantium underneath, a testament to its continued use on the battlefield by successions of imperial servants. The names of these officers form victory roles only known to the administratium or particlerly long lived guardsmen such as Sergeant Zeke.
His sidearm is a bolt pistol, having been rebuilt from parts of other broken bolt pistols recovered from the battlefield by Gavin and others, carefully restored by the indentured tech priests. The oldest parts of the housing appear to be from a completely different design baring bronse inlays and red paint, this is combined with more modern looking grip. The pistol itself is intact belt fed bearing a larger than average magazine capacity. The disadvantage is that the round swings freely below the housing and make noise thats difficult to quiet. The pistols machine spirit is pernicious and is also quite common to malfunctions needing constant mollifying with oils and rag.
Both his lasgun and his bolt pistol have been decorated with gold plated chain with many figures of the imperial faith, Aquilas, vials of holy water and small trinkets attached. It is the tradition of the 458th Shield of Iconne to decorate their weapons to appease the saints who look down on us. This fact provides confidence and faith to the guardsmen and is a widespread practice in the regiment.

When the 458th found itself shipped offplanet to one of the imperiums' many front lines. This was only to be expected as it was inkeeping with the tradition of Iconne to tithe regiments after PDF training. Gavin was promoted to Sergeant when the 458th were mobilized due to a shortage of manpower.
The "Shields of Iconne" are a regiment raised on a Shrine world. The regiment is a source of pride for the planet and designated a high utility unit specializing in artillery. The 458th were first deployed against the chaos cult "The Bone Star" which was threatening the major hive world of Faux I through use of termites to burrow into the hive infrastructure and deploy troops behind the front lines. The battles were sporadic and brutal but eventually, along with other Cadian tank regiments, the 458th managed to turn the tide in their favor through ingenuity and rapid re-deployment. The 458th took a beating and was reduced to a mere 300 men, but those who survived could boast of denting the reputation of Chaos. The purity of the regiment being beyond reproach (atleast on paper) due to its relation to the Shrine World. Gavin now hates chaos and other "backsliders" with almost the same ferocity as the Cadians.
