I did post fool. Still waiting on shit to get real

Knighthood: Of Gods and Titans (season 2)

@Monochromatic Rainbow

Urthar leapt out of the way as a rather large swarm member slammed the deck where he’d been standing just a second ago. Tucking the staff under his left arm he made use of his wings as they battered the smaller swarmlings aside putting him in position to let go with a void bolt wave into the oncoming horde. Using his wings again he repositioned as he half flapped, half climbed across the deck. Still making use of the human form he pulled his wings in front of him as a rather potent wave of raw void energy rolled over him. Looking up and peering through a slit in his wings he took note of the being standing on the railing of Blackwing. It sported three faceless heads that seemed to shift back and forth between between different faces, some human, some animal, some totally alien.

Trexian'Zhan

All three heads turned to take in Urthar. Turning simultaneously they fixed on him before displaying the heads of three predatory animals that all roared at him in different voices.

Oh, I will enjoy killing you Priest. I can see you’ve gone native. Galendar has even corrupted your form.

Urthar grimaced from behind his wings as he leapt backwards and unsheathed the Scythe. The blade of pure nothingness cleared the area around him smoothly completely erasing all matter living or otherwise that it came in contact with. There was a loud pop as air pressure equalized from the sudden absence of any air molecules where the blade had cut.

Yelling in a voice that required more than one tongue to speak Urthar taunted the Collector. “Come let us see if you are as powerful as you seem to think you are. I shall enjoy consuming your essence”

With that Urthar opened a void maw and the beast on the otherside of the cut in the fabric of reality seized the collector in razor sharp tentacles dashing the aberrant against the ground before receding into the tear as it closed.

The Collector rearranged its shape so it could stand without effort. It will take more than that

Rathanael Orphelian

Name: Sword-Brother Rathanael Orphelian

Age: 482

Gender: Male

Role: Chamber Militant: Deathwatch Astartes Kill-Marine

Ordos: Xenos

Appearance:

Appearance

Rathanael maintains a cleanly shaved scalp which leaves his three service studs clearly displayed above his left eye. A single puckered scar runs from above his lip and down over his chin and down the front of his neck and various scars dot the rest of his body beneath his Power Armor. Rathanael’s armor is Mark VII despite his status and it is adorned with the marks of past battles as the armor has been repaired countless times.

As one of the Black Templar Sword-Brethren Rathanael’s armor sports the Crux-Terminatus on the left shoulder as well as the Devotion Chains which serve to remind him of his service to the Emperor and to his Chapters endless crusade to rid the galaxy of the enemies of the Emperor.

Personality: IC, see history section

History:

Rathanael earned his place as one of the Sword-Brethren of the Achilus Crusade in the Jericho Reach during the Thetus Crusade where he fought on the front lines to cleanse the Hive World of the Genestealer Xenos taint:

“I’d say that Rathanael earned his place among the Sword-Brethren. He’s the hulking Astartes that comes ploughing through a mass of Genestealer cultists with a sword and a Bolter right as they are closing in on a group of Imperial Guard. It was never in exasperation either. As soon as he’d pulled someone's ass out of the fire it was ‘Go there, brothers need you’ then on to the next catastrophe to put it. Rathanael never saw anyone as useless. Every time you came into contact with him it was always because he had a new plan or a better use when this guy showed up.”

“Afterward I got to see there ceremony for granting him Terminator Honours. It’s something to aspire to in service to the Emperor. Of course for Rathanael it was just a matter of enacting the Emperor’s Will there was never a question about what had to be done and he did it.”

-Valran, Black Templar Neophyte

In the Achilus Crusade Rathanael proved again that his stoic presence was a constant boon to his Battle Brothers fighting tooth and nail in every engagement and doing his best to prove just how valuable he was to the Crusade:

“You see something that needs to be done and you make it so. The motivation is simple. Enact the Emperors Will and destroy the enemies of the Empire. There are those who would question me due to my use of any advantage available, but in the end whatever the cost: pay it for victory”

-Sword-Brother Rathanael, After the final retreat to the edge of the Iron Collar aboard the Ophidian Gulf

Rathanael’s service within the Achilus Crusade earned him the interest of the Deathwatch and shortly thereafter he was sent to serve with the Deathwatch as a member of a Kill team which would run missions into the deeper parts of the Jericho reach. After a fateful encounter with the Dark Eldar Rathanael was sent to a Dead Station within the System of Planets in the Reach known as the Dark Pattern. There he would spend the rest of his time serving as a member of the Dead Cabal: a group of Deathwatch Marines whose sole concern was the Dark Pattern in the Jericho Reach.

“In the end it doesn’t matter how brave you are, how skilled you are, how much firepower you have. Either it’s the Emperor’s will that you live. Or you just die. There are things out there with nothing but ill intentions towards the Imperium of Man and they are poised on the edge of launching an attack upon the very core of what we are. We must be ready and we must stand strong for the enemies of our Beloved Emperor are coming for us.”

-Dead Cabal Vigilant Rathanael

Philosophy:
Radical. While not wrapped in the politics of the Inquisition; Rathanael utilizes Xenos tech on his Deathwatch missions when the mission requires it of him.

Skills & Abilities:

Rathanael has extensive training in hand to hand combat however he has spent the majority of his time serving as a Tactical Marine and as such is well versed in all forms of Astartes combat. Rathanael’s training was completed in his time with the Deathwatch where he had the opportunity to serve as a Devastator Marine. In addition to his combat abilities Rathanael is also an avid scholar of Xenos lore as he feels that a large part of winning fights is knowing the enemy. With his transition to the Dead Cabal much of Rathanael’s focus has largely switched to the Dark Eldar and the Necron Dynasty of the Jericho Reach.

Retinue Members: Rathanael’s Kill Team was left behind in the Reach when he was sent to assist the inquisition.

Equipment:

Devotion chains: The same set he was given when he became a Neophyte of the Black Templars

Power Sword: A gift from his Chapter for the duration of his time serving in the Reach

Storm Shield: An acquired item from the Armories of the Deathwatch. After one too many close calls when closing with the enemy Rathanael took up the shield as an additional precaution.

Terminator Armor: The set given to him by his Chapter, currently in the possession of the Inquisition for keeping until such a time as he has need of it serving with the Inquisition.

Mark VII Power Armor: The grim history of battle is scrawled across Rathanael’s power armor both in engraved script of and in the signs of damage the armor has nobly sustained over the years.

Astartes Pattern Storm Bolter: Rathanael may prefer melee combat however he is not fool enough to go without a ranged weapon.

Astartes Pattern Bolt Pistol: The gun in question was the first firearm issued to Rathanael by his chapter. It has served him well over the years.

Astartes Combat Knife: Standard Issue for all Space Marines

Krak/Frag Grenades: three of each.

Relationships with Other Characters:To be determined

Ignore.

Knighthood: Of Gods and Titans (season 2)

A massive green aberration shot across the deck carving a path of gore and vicious death. The creature’s lethal maw had gorged itself on the blood of the weak it had been targeting. Any Knight that put up a fight it had simply avoided allowing the waves of drones to pile on them before moving in for the easy kill.

The creature was hardly afraid of the Knights even the stronger ones, it was just such a waste of time to enter into any sort of protracted battle with them. With an almost ecstatic shiver the creature thrashed its lower body through the blood and gore staining the deck of blackwing as it flicked the mess over the nearby drones and onto the nearby Knights as it impaled another pirate on its scythe like appendage.

The lesser races were far too enjoyable to slaughter; it was almost as though the blood and viscera were a morbid spa treatment for the aberrant champion. Assessing the deck it picked its next target and pounced drilling its scythes into the already dying Knight. Tearing open the female elf’s rib cage it gorged itself on her still beating heart as the life blood spattered the deck around the Aberration. The cries of the dying aberrant spawns caused the champion to raise its head from its bloody feast. Noting the Nephilim butchering aberrant drones the green aberrant turned and suddenly moved across the deck at blinding speed.

Knights and pirates alike were hurled from the path of the aberration. Its vicious claws sliced through flesh and armor like paper. Any who tried to stand in the way of the frightening champion of the aberrations was turned into a bloody stain on the deck of blackwing. With a horrendous howl it launched itself through the air at Shiba. The aberrations tail snapped back and forth propelling it through the air in a living missile of vicious clawed and teeth bearing death.

I am your doom Nephilim

A titanic Aberrant hit the deck of Blackwing and began crushing anything that moved. Aberrant spawn, pirate, Knight it didn’t matter. It was a bringer of sorrow and a crusher of hope as its mass of tentacles that served as the lower half of its body turned pirates and knights alike into bloody pulps. None lasted more than a few seconds as it ripped apart armored Knights. Sword, magic and firearm alike did little to the monstrosity as it shrugged off blow after blow. Tearing into the ranks of the unprepared guests it lashed about like an alien oceanic creature. Killing by the dozens it splattered Knights and Aberrant spawn alike with indifference.

As Izual transformed the Aberrant snapped its head towards the awakened Hellspawn. With a snap of its vicious tentacles it hauled itself across the deck towards Izual with smooth movements unsettling movements. Brushing aside the tendrils of darkness with its own appendages it approached the Hellspawn and tilted its featureless head as it stared down at the being confronting it.

Like an implacable tide it raised its mass of tentacles and brought them down in a wave not unlike an alien tidal wave. As they whipped through the air they tore other aberrant spawn out of the air without any sort of regard for other beings around it. The creature was like an ancient ocean given form as it brought about an implacable end. The tentacles whistled through the air, sounding a death knell.

The advance of the death dealing duo was suddenly checked by the impact of a pair of Aberrations that were exactly the same in their appearance. Standing at a towering twelve feet tall the aberrations sported heavy masses of unnatural muscle on their already massive frames. With a fluid movement the two broke off and moved to position themselves on either side of the mech. It was as if the pair moved with a single unified mind.

As the twins moved it became apparent that there was a difference between the two of them; however it was incredibly subtle. One of them was right hand dominant while the other was left hand dominant. It manifested only when they split apart and took up positions on either side of the mech.

The right hand conjured a void bolt while the left hand advanced to meet the mech. Conjuring a blade of what appeared to be a violet crystal to sheath its hand in a blade it drove forward as at the exact same time the right hand unleashed the deadly magic at Gibraltar’s back aiming to fell the mech from behind as the vicious magic was sent right at the knee joints of the mech in a flat plain of void energy.

@Alina13Fresh blood yay!!! *cough* i mean sounds cool. I'm sure everyone will be happy to see a new face

Small Deities

@Wind Wild

Alright, in that case I have to rethink the character a bit, ill come back to this eventually.

@dragonmancer

So my thought on the character is a Dragon Demi God would be dope. I think Wind's issue is that the Gods and all the fun mythical creatures are kept on the more secret side hence why myths are prolific but no one goes "Hey dave did you see that Minotaur flipping cars on the I-5 this morning?" So it would certainly be neat to see a Dragon Demi god and if his dad is Typhon that is cool too just bare in mind that Typhon is probably bitch smacking the character for fun every night. Also running around in the Mortal world in dragon form is probably not going to happen since the Gods keep their kids on a rather short leash. If you want some ideas take a look at Mikah in the character section. He only pulls out his Krakeny goodness in his dreams, occasionally in the celestial realm and sparingly in the mortal realm
