MAIN GAME THREAD There are worlds in the galaxy where they know nothing of the Imperium, the Emperor, or the terrors in the stars. These worlds are inhabited by the descendants of lost colonists, survivors of some ancient civilisation torn down by the ravages of time and hardship. Zarhud is one such primitive world, a frigid moon orbiting a dull gas giant in some forgotten system, isolated from the galaxy by ignorance and the vastness of the void. It possesses great icecaps, endless steppe, dark forests and deep, foreboding seas.  On Zarhud, life is dominated by the passage of the great orb Kuuri across the sky. When she is low in the sky the season is warm and relatively pleasant (for a death world), but when she rises the days shorten and the life-giving sun Juumil is blotted out. In this frigid darkness the terrible creatures of the ice roam freely, the hills echo with the howls of the beastmen, and the sky alights with strange energies. Living on Zarhud is a hard and unforgiving trial, an existence with only the promise of a glorious death and a kind afterlife to look forward to.  All sane people stay close with their tribe and family lest they meet a terrible fate on the long nights, but not you. On the last Kuuri's Night you were not safely at home in your tent or hut. Maybe you were exiled, or ambitious, or bold to the point of foolishness. Perhaps a seer foretold a great destiny if you left, or a great disaster if you stayed. Whatever the reason, you made your way to Snaegr's Eye, the great dead city that stretches over the horizon and up into the sky. There you joined the great throng of supplicants and saw the Sky Giants, great and terrible heralds of the gods who seek out new champions from among the misbegotten people of this world.  Under the gaze of the gods, you struggled to prove yourself worthy of serving them, competing in challenges martial, intellectual and spiritual. You faced fiendish puzzles, ferocious beasts, tests of endurance and clashed with your own kind repeatedly. In the process you were broken down and remade greater than before, thriving where others failed and withstanding the terrible experiences that rendered others mad. In the end you and your fellow champions were deemed worthy and so the Sky Giants transported you to the afterlife, destined for greatness and glory at the gates of eternity...  Well, not quite. As you eventually learn, Chaos Space Marines occasionally come to this world to relax and watch gladiatorial blood sports. After surviving the entertainment you and the other winners were herded aboard a lander and packed aboard the Bottomless Maw, a ponderous macrofreighter that periodically arrives at Zarhud to collect minerals and promethium (there is an extensive network of mines and refineries on the planet in the uninhabitable regions). Instead of glorious immortality, you are held captive as slaves and sold off to the highest bidder.  Your future is not entirely disappointing though, you are to serve the great Lady Alicia di Marchessa, a Rogue Trader turned pirate. She (or more likely a subordinate) took an interest in the small army of Zarhud fighters for sale and bought you all for a pretty amount. From what you can gather, she's aggressively pursuing wealth and power even to the extent of raiding Imperial shipping and worlds, and is indeed accruing a large retinue of renegades and mercenaries drawn to her success. Though vast, her ambitions are tempered by enough cunning and intelligence to keep her alive, though evidently not enough to have kept the Inquisition from discovering her dealings with Chaos reavers. You and your fellow Zarhudans have been incorporated into her growing war machine, to act as specialist ground troops, your unique skills and talents allowing you to succeed where more 'civilised' pirates and heretics would flounder. However, merely knowing how to survive in the wilds and wield any sharp stick as a deadly weapon isn't enough to thrive on the galactic battlefields of the 41st Millenium, so your new masters have put you through a fierce and comprehensive regime of training and education. Through unforgiving weapons drill and martial instruction, you have learned the forms and functions of most of the weapons the galaxy has to offer. Tomes of knowledge have been imprinted in your minds by impatient scholar-adepts, giving you a broad working knowledge of modern human society. And of course, the status of the Imperium has been made clear to you; it is a dying tyrannical empire worshipping a dead man they call a God, fit only for predation and plunder by those strong enough to dare it.  You are now aboard the Dauntless-Class Light Cruiser Pillar of Friendship, one of Lady Alicia's many vessels. She's not here herself of course, in fact you haven't actually seen her in person at all. You do know exactly what she looks like though, thanks to the masterful artwork all over the ship depicting her in various scenes of conquest, wealth, or repose. The Pillar of Friendship has been sent on an audacious mission: To raid and pillage a feudal recruiting world of the Celestial Knights chapter of Space Marines. You are to be supplied a sparse selection of equipment and dropped onto the planet, pursuing targets of opportunity while the Pillar sits in orbit receiving loot and captives. At the first sign of a Celestial Knights Battle Barge entering the system the Pillar will break orbit and flee, as it is in no way capable of facing a real Imperial response, so try not to get left behind! SO WHAT'S THIS ACTUALLY ABOUT? This is a low-power (initially) all-human Black Crusade campaign set in the wilds of the Koronus Expanse and beyond. You're not starting with plasma guns and power armour, you're a bunch of sword-toting feral worlders handed ex-Guard flak armour and lasguns. You need to kill a lot of rich and important people before you stand out from the rest of the slavering horde. There will also hopefully be a bit of investigation and social interaction, probably moments before you murder everyone in the room and torch the building. Can I be a Space Marine? No. Can I be a Heretek? Yes! Either a Zudharan who had a gift for technology and was crammed full of gadgets, or an ordinary low-tier Heretek already working for Alicia who has been assigned to the squad. What the hell is all this weird equipment? To facilitate proper murdering-people-with-swords action I made a bunch of generic melee weapons and a bunch of ranged weapons which may or may not be balanced at all. But where's my plasma gun? Instead of taking the default Equipment and Acquisitions you start with whatever you carried off Zudhar, and whatever modern accoutrements you were granted by your most beneficent and kind masters. By all means replace them with heavy bolters and power weapons at the first opportunity! Just keep in mind these heirloom items are prime potential Legacy Weapons and may be upgraded considerably if you know the right heretek or sorcerer, and if you kill something really cool with a primitive weapon it stands out a bit more to those who pay attention to that sort of thing. If you actually want more Low-Tech weapons, ask around, the ship is full of them. How much Chaos? The Zarhudans worshipped a pantheon of which the four Chaos Gods were a significant part, so any level of fervour from indifferent to zealot makes sense. Alicia's Fleet is broadly 'renegade', they work with rebels, xenos and Chaos warbands so they're a very diverse bunch. There is even a significant minority of Emperor worshippers, though they hold that the Imperium as an institution is corrupt and oppressive and should be cast down.

 I can still remember the day that it rained fire. The gods sent their emissaries to us in great ships from the sky. The smoke and flames filled the air until everywhere you walked felt like the heat of the forge. Many were gathered from all the tribes in the land, and from lands far off. I had never known that so many people could exist, let alone so many different tribes. They pitted us against one another. The weak fed on the weak until only the strong were left. I was blessed that I faced Ridzhakk in the end. Far too long had his people harried mine. He was a small man, insignificant in the end. All his bluster was for nothing at the end of my spear. The few who were chosen brought us all upon the great arks to travel the road of the gods. There, we learned of our new master. We would be ourselves but would do battle for her. Each of us were given weapons and trinkets suited to our skills. I was taken to their smiths to learn what secrets would help me surpass my trade as I had known it. They split me open and placed metal within. When they did I truly awoke to the universe. These great machines that surrounded me... I could speak to them, hear them whisper back. I am told that there is only one god. There is a tribe who would have me fall to my knees before an enthroned corpse. But not the others. They would have me stand and die like a warrior. I've learned much from all of them, but I see the path I must walk. I will walk with the true gods, the path of blood and steel of my own making. pre:Name: Rinlaan Ironforge Archetype: Heretek Alignment: Unaligned Pride: Logic Disgrace: Regret Motivation: Perfection Characteristics: WS: 46 (25+16) [+5 Motivation] BS: 32 (25+10) [-3 Motivation] S: 41 (25+16) T: 37 (25+12) Ag: 35 (25+10) Int: 58 (25+18) [+5 Archetype] [+5 Advance] [+5 Pride] Per: 26 (25+ 6) [-5 Pride] WP: 33 (25+ 8) Fel: 29 (25+ 4) [-3 Motivation] Wounds: 15/15 Infamy: 22 IP: 2/2 CP: 5 Skills: Common Lore (Adeptus Mechanicus) Common Lore (Imperial Creed) Common Lore (Koronus Expanse) Common Lore (Tech) Dodge Forbidden Lore (Archeotech) Linguistics (Low Gothic) Logic Medicae Parry Scholastic Lore (Astromancy) Security Tech-Use Trade (Armorer) Talents: Armor Monger Cold Hearted Combat Formation Die Hard Enemy (Adeptus Mechanicus) Mechadendrite Training (Utility) Technical Knock Total Recall Weapon Training (Las, Plasma, Primary, Shock) Traits: Haunted (Opponents get +10 when using Intimidate vs character) Mechanicus Implants The Old Ways The Quick and the Dead Gear: Best Dagger Common Flak Armor Best Hand Weapon (Axe) Common Laspistol Common Medicae Mechadendrite Common Maglev Coils Mind Impulse Unit Best Medi-kit Advances: 900/1000 Medicae 200 Intelligence +5 250 Dodge 200 Combat Formation 250 Vicissitude fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Jul 20, 2016 |

 Do you know what happens when you push a tree branch too far? It breaks. Or it snaps back right in your face. Rarely, though, both happen. Take, for instance, a scout from a minor tribe. Ambushed far from her home, alone and wounded, she crawls through the bracken for a bit of shelter. It doesn't take long for the hounds to find her. Her blood is a trail as bright to them as a flash of lightning across the roiling skies. More wounds, more blood, and soon she's dragged out from her warren in chains with a collar around her neck. Fear makes every sense achingly intense. The jokes begin soon after. She's grunting and covered in mud so the obvious connection is made. The scout is nothing but a hog ready for slaughter. It's right about when they start to make jokes about taking their knives and making her squeal that the fear shifts and turns to anger, an anger that builds on itself until it fills her heart and her head and her hands. The first of them dies laughing. The rest die screaming. Before long there's nothing left but the anger as it spills away, emptying her of whatever she once held to be true. The rage was all that saved her. It's all that matters. When she doesn't let that fire kindle within her, Olga, as she has been called, is very quiet. Some would call it simmering or smoldering, but she's very introspective for someone so out of control in battle. Very few could hope to stand before her. Perhaps that's why she was pulled onto the ships. Maybe the Lady Alicia needs a weapon like the Ladyhog. pre:Name: Olga the Ladyhog Archetype: Renegade Pride: Martial Prowess Disgrace: Betrayal Motivation: Violence Alignment: Khorne Characteristics: WS 46 (25+18) [+3 Archetype] BS 36 (25+ 8) [+3 Archetype] S 41 (25+16) T 41 (25+16) Ag 37 (25+12) Int 21 (25+ 4) [-5 Pride] [-3 Motivation] Per 35 (25+10) WP 35 (25+10) Fel 31 (25+ 6) Wounds: 13/13 Infamy: 22 Infamy Points: 2/2 Corruption: 10 Skills: Athletics Awareness Common Lore (War) Dodge +10 Intimidate Medicae Operate (Surface) Parry Scholastic Lore (Tactica Imperialis) Survival Talents: Ambidextrous Catfall Flesh Render Frenzy Jaded Quick Draw Rapid Reload Sure Strike Two-Weapon Wielder (Melee) Weapon Training (Chain, Flame, Las, Primary, Shock, SP) Traits: Adroit (WS) The Quick and the Dead Untrustworthy The Old Ways Gifts: Collar of Khorne Equipment: Best Dagger Common Flak Armor Best Machete Good Chainsword - Venom Drip Common Chainsword - Venom Drip Common Autogun Best Fire Caster - 4 Fire Flask - 2 Tox Flask - 2 Dream Flask Medkit XP 1000/1000 Frenzy 250 Flesh Render 250 Two Weapon Wielder (Melee) 500 Mad Moxxi fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Jul 20, 2016 |

Solomon, Psyker Assassin Journal Entry "This loving sucks. I thought going to Snaegr's Eye would lead to glory, ascension in the eyes of the Gods but the Sky Giants laughed at us all when we completed all their trials. It was all a big loving show to them. I remember reading the surface thoughts of the head Sky Giant, they didn't even think any of the psykers among us was worth making into "one of their brothers". gently caress them, I'll gut one of those overgrownarrogant pigs myself one of these days." Journal Entry "I hate working in the manufactorum. It's so hot and boring, like imagine one of the blacksmith's forges back home but making up an entire city on Zarhud. They have me making shell casings on the factory line. I work ancient machines for 14 standard hours a day and stamp sheets of metals into shell casings for their slug weapons. What booze the crew has been able to brew in off times is disgusting but the sensations are strong enough to keep things from being totally boring. My foreman is a real dick and I got a decent idea on how to get his job." Journal Entry "By Slaanesh that was good. Convinced the foreman with a lil telepathic bullshit that the mosquito that kept biting people in the manufactorum was talking to him, telepathically telling him "SUCK MY DICK" every time it flew by. Oh god he went nuts trying to kill the thing. He rode us even harder to make himself feel better after we all laughed at him so I need to figure out another way to dispose of him." Journal Entry "Well I'm the new foreman now. Roasted him at a cardgame telepathically to the point he thought the overseer was mocking him more than usual and he got himself killed stepping up to the warpsmith. Gonna enjoy that good Amasec and never have to stamp a shell casing ever again! Just need to drive these fucks to meet their quotas but that shouldn't be too hard. I mean I can read their minds when they are acting up and handle whatever issues they come up with. Worse comes to worse I'll break one of them as an example and they'll stick to it. There's nothing quite like ripping someones thoughts, dreams, and life experience from their shattered mind at will. It is divine." Journal Entry "Well poo poo I got sold to some Rogue Trader Lady something something. I mean its not like I don't know the name but gently caress this bitch for real, who the gently caress puts paintings and statues of themselves all over the ship like we don't know who you are. Anyway my plan for deluding the taskmaster into giving me all the training off and letting me gently caress off didn't work as they apparently knew of the tricks I could pull. Got my rear end shoved into a cell that blocked my powers and they left a dog on a leash just barely out of reach for a couple of days then asked me if I was ready to train yet. Yeah I'm ready to train now. I took to the lasguns they showed us easy day. Did you know that technology has machine spirits and that the machine spirit of a powerpack, as opposed to the spirit inside the bullets I have to machine the gently caress out of, are adaptable and reliable as gently caress? Reusuable ammunition, even able to be recharged by cooking them! Cooking them! That's awesome and so much more convenient then stamping the metal 3-4 times, necking the casing, loading the powder and slug. Then you have to press each slug into the magazine and that hurts your fingers. Nah gently caress all that I'll take that laspistol and really long lasrifle in the pile with the scope. Let me get that big rear end axe too, that'll treat me right." Journal Entry "Ok looks like we're gonna be first in to raid some "Feudal World" of this Adeptus Astartes chapter called the Celestial Knights. Basically raid, pillage, and otherwise gently caress up the place before the big guys get back. Now I know what those Sky Giants really were, and they were dicks. From what little I know of the "Angels of Death" they must be just as bad. Lets hope I don't see any but if I do, well I'll put a lasbolt in their too small to be real heads. Seriously how their bodies get so big and their head so little its loving comical! Anyway I'll write some poo poo later.

Xiulan, the pretty pyromancer "Just call me Julia, barely anyone on this ship can say my name, ugh. Anyway, I am a pyromancer, at a young age, I was taught these arts from my mother and her mother before her. I was entranced by the beauty of fire and it matched my own. This led quickly to finding Slaanesh and all the wonders that following my Prince bring. By the way, fire is great at torching would be suitors, a terrible problem when I became of age; haha. Then, I survived those trials through my charm and skill and got picked up by our Lady here. Now that we're on this ship, the ratings learned quick not to touch or anger me with their presence. I became fast friends with the heretek, Fernanda Skult, as she could, one, say my name, and two, hold a conversation. Before the mission, she gave me this injection that put the feeling of pure fire into my bones; it felt great. What a great gal, I'll bring her a trophy or two when I get back. Hopefully the rest of the squad will be at the least alright to work with." Xiulan raises a glass, and drinks to Slaanesh that he may watch her rise to glory. She puts her hair up using a vicious looking knuckle guard and or hairclip and gets her affairs in order. "Well, its time for me to go. It was night talking to ya. Let's go out when I get back from this mission, shouldn't take too long." pre:Xiulan, aka Julia Human Psyker Pride: Grace Disgrace: Greed Motivation: Perfection Dedication: Slaanesh WS: 41 25 +16 BS: 24 25 +4 -5 ST: 35 25 +10 TN: 30 25 +8 -3 AG: 42 25 +12 +5 IN: 28 25 +6 -3 PE: 35 25 +10 WP: 51 25 +16 +5 +5 FL: 53 25 +18 +5 +5 Infamy: 22 Corruption: 6 http://orokos.com/roll/419983 Wounds: 11 Traits: Quick and the Dead The Old Ways Psyker Talents: Psy Rating 3 Weapon Training (Primary, Flame) Warp Sense Iron Jaw Bulging Biceps Skills: Awareness Psyniscience Common Lore(War, Koronus Expanse) Language(Low Gothic) Trade(Remembrancer) Forbidden Lore (Psykers) Deceive Dodge Charm Psychic Powers: Manifest Flame Fire Bolt Flame Gauntlets Advances: 950/1000 Unarmed Warrior -500 Willpower Simple -250 Fellowship Simple -100 Charm -100 Gear: Laspistol Best Quality Vicious Weapon Best Quality Fire Caster Best Quality Dagger Psy Focus Best Quality Giant Spider Silk Robes 4 Lasclips 4 Fire flasks, 2 tox flasks, 2 dream flasks Implants: Skeletal Petrifaction Acquisition: Skeletal Petrifaction HukHukHuk fucked around with this message at 09:15 on Jul 22, 2016 |

 Kaas Firbolg My life has ever been stained with blood and death. The tribe of my fathers was slaughtered by the Beastmen. My brother and I, children in their 4th year, were found in the ruins of our settlement when one of our neighbors came to scavenge the remains. Twins are said to be marked for greatness by the Gods, and the same is said of sole survivors. Believing us specially marked by the Fateweaver, they adopted us instead of killing us for food. I do not remember the tribe of my fathers, and their names have been forgotten to history. This is the first Great Shame I have suffered. Our adoptive tribe, the Iuss, were fierce warriors. When Kuuri hung high, the peoples of Zarhud huddled around their campfires and whispered fearful tales of the Beastmen. When Kuuri was low and the season of wars was upon us, it was the Iuss who were whispered of in hushed tones. The Gods smiled upon us; our seers were the wisest, our warriors the strongest. The deeds of my brother and I were sung at every feast, and for 20 years, it seemed that we had overcome the Great Shame of forgetting our fathers. But the Gods do not forget dishonor. The seer's screams awoke most of the tribe. We found her thrashing madly in the ceremonial hut, held down by her sisters. Blood poured from her eyes and ears. In the moments before she died, her eyes snapped open again; she pointed at us in the doorway and whispered two things. The first was the name of the dead city, Snaegr's Eye. The second was my brother's name, and two last words: "blade-chosen." And so we ascended to the sealed cave, and my brother entered. When he returned, he bore the Thousand-Cursed Blade. The legends say that it contains the spirit of a great Iuss warrior who lost faith and fled on the eve of what should have been his greatest triumph. Enraged, Khorne struck him dead and sealed his spirit within his infamous weapon, cursing him to serve eternally as a tool of greater warriors instead of as a warlord at Khorne's side in the afterlife. The blade cuts with terrifying ease, but any man who lifts it is filled with the echoes of Khorne's boundless fury and the impotent rage of the spirit trapped within. My brother wanted me to believe that he could control it, but I saw in his eyes that he was already losing himself to the fury. Together, we journeyed to Snaegr's Eye. We cut a bloody swathe through our foes there, and we were told that the time had come for us to ascend to greatness. And instead, they sold us in chains to some depraved star-sailor. This is the second Great Shame I have suffered. Now she sends us to rob a world belonging to the Imperium's Space Marines. I am none too fond of their kind after the treachery we experienced in Snaegr's Eye. My brother is a shell of who he used to be; he loses himself more and more to fury and madness every day. I worry that I will be forced to put him down myself. They will surely abandon us here if the Space Marines return; I have seen the cowardice in their eyes. Cowardly vultures, all of them, picking at the wounds in the Imperium's carcass and fleeing when it twitches and groans in response. I will not be dishonored a third time by failing here. I will plunder this planet, I will escape their retribution, and I will bide my time. I will have my revenge one day, and then they will all tremble. pre:Name: Kaas Firbolg Archetype: Apostate Alignment: Unaligned Pride: Martial Prowess Disgrace: Wrath Motivation: Vengeance Characteristics: WS: 46 (16 +5 Pride) BS: 31 (6) S: 41 (16) T: 42 (12 +5 Advance) Agi: 35 (10) Int: 30 (10 -5 Pride) Per: 29 (4 +5 Disgrace -5 Motivation) WP: 31 (8 -2 Disgrace) Fel: 53 (18 +5 Archetype) Wounds: 13 (-1 Disgrace +2 Motivation) Infamy: 22 IP: 2/2 CP: 0 Skills: Awareness Charm +10 Command +10 Commerce Common Lore (Imperium, War) Deceive Dodge Forbidden Lore (Daemonology, Warp, Xenos) Inquiry Linguistics (Low Gothic) Parry Scholastic Lore (Beasts, Chymistry, Occult) Stealth Survival Trade (Armourer) Talents: Air of Authority Double Team Hatred (Adeptus Astartes) Lesser Minion of Chaos Mimic Peer (Planetary Warlords or Governors) Radiant Presence Total Recall Unshakeable Will Weapon Training (SP, Primary) Traits/Mutations/Other: The Quick and the Dead Serpent's Tongue The Old Ways Acquisition: Venom Drip (Flail), +0: (+10 Average -20 BC +10 Single) Gear: BC Flail (Chain Whip) w/ Venom Drip BC Shield GC Autopistol (4 Clips) BC Dagger GC Flak Armor (+5 Charm) XP Spent 900/1000 (K: 1 N: 2 S: 0 T: 0) Parry-200 Survival-200 T +5-250 Double Team-250 pre:Name: Murik Firbolg Characteristics: WS BS S T Agi Int Per WP Fel 28 09 22 31 20 20 18 31 11 Wounds: 6/6 AP: 8 All Skills: Awareness Deceive Dodge Stealth Linguistics (Low Gothic) Talents: Cursed Heirloom Double Team Frenzy Weapon Training (Primary, Flame) Traits/Mutations/Other: Brutal Charge (2) Fanatic Natural Armor (4) Gear: Thousand-Cursed Blade (BC Great Weapon, Bloodthirsty CH) Fire Caster Flak Armor Dachshundofdoom fucked around with this message at 04:30 on Jul 20, 2016 |

 Brulgem, The Dire Bear Zarhud held many secrets for the local population, with their "Sky Giants" and other such goings on. One such secret was the mineral and promethium refineries that existed in the frozen tundra on the north pole. Brulgem was part of that secret. The people on the rest of the world thought it was too cold up there; no one who had ever ventured up that far north ever returned. The truth was much more grim. Those areas were very much habitable. Indeed for generations a whole society of worker slaves lived and died up in the north, providing resources for the macro-freighters, and Brulgem was no exception. Once everyone reached the age of nine they began receiving painful rituals to bulk up their bones to make them more able miners. The worship of Nurgle was almost exclusively pushed upon the miners; both to make them more hardy, and to instill in them that all was right, and no change would occur. So until the age of six-teen Brulgem worked in the mines, expecting death by age twenty-five, as almost everyone does. Thankfully for Brulgem, he had gotten quite the reputation as a fighter, and his accuracy with a bow. So the minders recruited him from the mines to instead watch the wastes. Every so often some desperate fool, or even whole tribe, would try to make their way to the north. To keep the population unspoiled, the forces of Chaos had put into place small outposts. Whenever one of the primitives made it too far north, forces would mobilize from the outposts and end them. To keep up the rumors that the north could not be inhabited. And so this was brulgem's life for five years. He of course was taught about the details of the galaxy outside. He was even given modern equipment with which to help him in his combat, such as a weapon known as a "heavy stubber" which had fired a bunch of small, stone-like projectiles at great speed. He very much liked this heavy stubber. As for the greater war in the galaxy, all that mattered to Brulgem is that this Imperium was the enemy to Father Nurgle, and that was enough for him. When the macro-freighter arrived and word went out of the blood sport, Brulgem originally went to watch; the games were treated as a great spectacle for worker race as much as for the Marines. When Brulgem learned those who won would be taken to join the war against the dreaded Imperium, Brulgem joined; which was almost unheard of from the mining peoples of the north. He quickly became a crowd favorite, his skills honed in the mines and hunting the other tribes put to great use. He didn't much care when he was sold off to some rogue trader, so long as the rogue trader was bringing war to the enemies of Nurgle. pre:Name: Brulgem, The Dire Bear Archetype: Renegade Alignment: Nurgle Pride: Fortitude Disgrace: Destruction Motivation: Vengeance Characteristics: WS: 38=25 +10+3[archetype] BS: 40=25+12+3[archetype] S: 35=25+10 T: 48=25+18+5 [pride] Ag: 38=25+16-3[pride] Int: 38=25+16-3[pride] Per: 26=25+6-5[motivation] WP: 33=25+8 Fel: 25=25+4-4[Disgrace] Wounds: 13+2[motivation] Infamy: 24=22+2[disgrace] IP: 2/2 CP: Skills: Athletics awareness Dodge +10 parry Intimidate Common lore (war, imperium, screaming vortex) Scholasitc lore (tactica Imperialis) Operate (surface) Linguistics (low Gothic) trade (armorer) Tech use Survival Talents: Jaded Quick Draw Rapid Reload Weapon Training (Chain, Flame, Las, Primary, SP) Weapon Training (Bolt) Catfall Marksman Double Team Hip Shooting Bulging biceps (Skeletal) Iron jaw (Skeletal) Cursed heirloom Nerves of steel Fearless Traits: The Old Ways The Quick and the Dead Gear: Best Dagger Common Flak Armour (4 AP All, 5 AP vs Blast) skeletal petrification Common Chainsword Good Stub Rifle /w read dot laser sight (free weapon upgrade) Best quality impaler crossbow -10 bolts and six harpoons Best quality fire caster -4 Fire Flasks, 2 Tox Flasks and 2 Dream Flasks Medikit Heavy Stubber /w spread limiter (CURSED HEIRLOOM) Bloodthirsty: when kill must make WP or else shoot corpse.

Hasaba Hasaba was born to the Salkenet, one of a number of small semi-nomadic Zarhudan tribes native to the cold forests and ice-covered wastes of the planet’s southernmost inhabitable regions. While Zarhud is far from hospitable, these lands are among the most dangerous survivable regions – the snow and ice, which disappears for only a few brief weeks in a year when Kuuri is low in the sky and the sun is at its brightest, makes agriculture impossible, and even what rare edible plant life survives in the cold only bears fruit in the warmest parts of the year. The only source of food the tribe can rely upon year-round, therefore, is meat – taken most often from the great herbivores that strip the needles from the trees and the moss from the rocks. Survival in these conditions is a precarious matter. During the winter months, when the nights are long, the tribes of the southern plains can only hide in volcanic tunnels warmed by their planet’s geothermal energy, their hunters emerging to go on week-long hunts, braving the cold and the many predatory beasts. In the summer months, the tribe can move freely again, grazing their beasts of burden and harvesting nuts and berries from the forests – though the ever-looming threat of Kuuri, waiting to blot out the sun, ensures that they do not stray too far from their mountain caves. It should not be a surprise, then, that the death of a tribe required no exceptional misfortune. The Salkenet were dealt their death-blow before Hasaba had even become a man, though they persisted for many years afterwards. The Salkenet were destroyed during Hasaba’s fourteenth winter, when the first hunting party of the winter, dispatched with 5 hunters and the tribe’s most blessed shaman, disappeared completely. For five nights after they left the caves, Hasaba’s dreams were wracked with terrible nightmares – of a terrible four-legged winged creature, strangely manlike, devouring the five hunters. On its own, this might have been a survivable blow, but the failure of the second hunting party – sent out 10 strong, with the tribe’s two other shamans accompanying them, returning with no meat and only the two youngest hunters, was enough to finish them. Too much knowledge – of how to make new arrows while on the hunt, of how to tell the destination and health of the great prey-beasts by their spoor, how to lure away man-eating predators without sacrificing men or meat, and all their shamanic traditions – was lost. No other tribe would lend their men to a tribe so obviously hated by the gods. Hasaba had no such vivid dreams as before – only a vision of blackness, and feelings of weariness and hunger. The Salkenet survived the winter by eating the beasts they used for their milk, fur and strength in the summer months. Then they had to repeat this the next year, and the year after that, and the year after that. In their fifth year of hunger, they had no more herd-animals to eat. Hunting in the winter months had become almost suicidal by their lack of shamans and lack of knowledge – by the end, only 5 members of the tribe were of the right age to be able to hunt. By the fifth year, Hasaba was one of the oldest and most experienced hunters – though by the standards of any other tribe, he was only an apprentice. His dreams had become worse with time, and sometimes seemed to invade the waking world – he would see pale figures at night out beyond the caves, when there was no light to see them by, and hear incomprehensible whispers from strange creatures perching upon the altars of the gods. In a better time, and with a better tribe, more knowledgeable men might have recognised this as the signs of shamanic talent, and Hasaba might have been trained to commune with the gods. But by the fifth year, Hasaba only feared that he was going mad from despair and hunger, and that revealing his dreams and visions and the voices that he heard would make him a target to the rest of the tribe. By the end of the fourth winter, the infirm members of the tribe were being sent to die in the tundra. By the beginning of the fifth winter, the weak, the useless, and the elderly were being killed in the caves by the starving tribe. It was the only way that they could provide for the tribe. By the end of the fifth winter, even that justification had been forgotten. Hasaba, though, had not been there to see the end of his tribe’s terminal decline. Halfway through the final winter, he had taken up his skinning knife, his bow and his hunting spear, and headed off into the blizzards that raged and screamed at night. Beyond this, there is not much to say. The next time he was seen by another human, he was far north of his home tundra, following a band of warriors travelling to the tournament at Snaegr’s Eye, somehow having avoided all the arrows and bolts they loosed at him to drive him away. He acquitted himself well at Snaegr’s Eye, though more by surviving his trials than by winning glory. He survived to see the end of the tournament, and was chosen to join the Sky Priests in their ship. But once he boarded the ship, and for the first time passed beyond the material world, it was no longer possible for Hasaba to keep himself awake, and shut his eyes against the visions, and pretend to be deaf to the voices. pre:Name: Hasaba Race: Human Archetype: Psyker Alignment: Unaligned He venerates all the Chaos gods and more, as his tribe did.

Howland Rime, Wizard Warrior just another day at the office Meti's Canticles of the Sword posted:“A brain is useful only up until the point when you are faced with your enemy. Then it is useless. The only truly useful thing in this cursed world is will. You must suffuse your worthless body with its terrible heat. You must be so hot that even if your enemy should strike your head off, you shall continue to decapitate ten more men. Your boiling blood must spring forth from your neck and mutilate the survivors!” Personnel Intake Log Aleph-Beta-Fourteen-Gamma posted:Personnel ISN: 354672641643 There are some on Zarhud who pray for the winter. When Kuuri embraces the surface of the world, the greatest tests are possible, and the fiercest foes walk amongst mortals. So it is for the wizard warriors of Mount Tomash, blessed by the gods with second sight and mystical power. They love the dark time so much that the frost always follows them. The others on their world hate and fear them, for they are arrogant and contemptuous, and constantly remind their lessers of their weakness with their very existence. Still, when beasts too terrible for one of the tribes to kill is ravaging their herds, they send a messenger up to the mountain. They draw lots, of course, because the wizards divine how to kill the monster from the messenger's entrails. This is somehow never mentioned to the young men of the tribe in the drawing, but, the messenger is remembered. (If only for the lost calories. This is a death world, after all.) It is only rational that such folk should make a pilgrimage to the place where the gods' own annointed ones would touch the earth. The throngs! The sights! The glory! And, of course, the fights. The best warriors and mightest will-workers on all of Zarhud, come to compete for honor beneath the eyes of the gods at the hands of their heralds. And Howland had held his own, for every opponent they had set him against, for every challenge they had put in his way. As he boarded the holy conveyance of the victorious, he reflected on the fact that this was truly the apex of mortal achievement. It was a little depressing to find out that he was entertainment. Even worse, that he was property. The nerve-teasing education machines made drat sure that he knew what it meant to be a small cog in a big wheel. Fine, assholes. He could play. This is just a bigger arena, and Howland kills monsters. pre:Name: Howland Rime

There's a lot of really cool stuff you can get even with that, let me know if you want suggestions. I decided to take a Cameleoline Cloak, since I thought Hasaba needed to be better at stealth (since stealth is based on Agility, and he only has 30 AGI) and surviving being shot at (since he has fewer wounds than any of the other PCs). Is that sensible? Also, the rules for the composite bow mention the Barrage and Powerful Draw rules. They're not included in the core book - what do they do?

Very sensible, with all that Stealth and Survival you'll be making everyone else look clumsy and confused. Powerful Draw and Barrage are rules I made up to make the Composite Bow useful next to all the lasguns and autoguns. They're described at the the bottom of the first post along with some other rules.

With the 2d10E. MadMoxxie, Khorne smiles upon your love of wanton destruction and disregard for social niceties. You won the Collar of Khorne Reward. Khorne infamy test, gift roll: 2#1d100 7 9 By spending an Infamy Point you become immune to magical spells for the rest of the 'session'. If a psyker casts Doombolt at you, it bounces off. If a daemon tries to possess you or use a special ability on you, nothing happens. If an ally tries to heal you with biomancy, that also won't work. If a psyker telekinetically hurls a boulder at you, that will hurt, and if a daemon stabs you with what passes for a physical weapon that will also hurt. But besides that it's a pretty good "Murder Enemy Witch" button.

Okay you horrible psyker-obsessed munchkins, here's the lucky band that gets to go adventuring: Mad Moxxi: Olga the super mad melee monster Vicissitude: Rinlaan the super smart scientist/medic Dachshundofdoom: Kaas the aspiring galactic warlord Jo Joestar: Hasaba the extremely dedicated survivalist HukHukHuk: Xiulan the pretty pyromancer VIva Miriya: Solomon the magic assassin It's a little psyker-heavy but I think it should be okay so long as nobody pushes  People who didn't get chosen have priority to fill in gaps that may arise. Main thread will go up in a bit. Remember to give your heretic the default human things if you missed it: Starting Skills: Common Lore (Any Two), Linguistics (Low Gothic), Trade (Any One) Starting Trait: The Quick and The Dead Skellybones fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Jul 22, 2016 |

  App in case someone leaves, for Bonelord's consideration. But regardless of if she's ever used, may I just get my 10 CP mutation rolled? Too tired to write coherent bio sentences right now, but her family got sick, she killed them, then walked out to the tournament to die, but kept winning until she was one of the finalists who got scooped up to be space-slaves. pre:Name: Paz, Who Death Forgot Archetype: Renegade Alignment: Nurgle Pride: Fortitude Disgrace: Regret Motivation: Violence Characteristics: WS: 51=25+18+3[archetype]+5[advance] BS: 34=25+6+3[archetype] S: 37=25+12 T: 51=25+16+5[pride]+5[advance] Ag: 30=25+8-3[pride] Int: 23=25+4-3[pride]-3[motivation] Per: 35=25+10 WP: 41=25+16 Fel: 35=25+10 4 6 8 10 10 12 16 16 18 Wounds: 13 Infamy: 22 IP: 2/2 CP:10=5[disgrace]+[motivation] Skills: Common Lore (Imperium) Linguistics (Low Gothic) Trade (Chemist) Athletics Awareness Dodge Parry Scholastic Lore (Tactica Imperialis) Common Lore (War) Operate (Horse) Intimidate Parry +10 Survival Medicae Talents: Jaded Quick Draw Rapid Reload Weapon Training (Chain, Flame, Las, Primary, SP) Weapon Training (Bolt) Combat Sense Sure Strike Double Team Ambidextrous Flesh Render[K] Iron Jaw[N] Traits: The Old Ways Adroit: WS Fear 1 (Disturbing) Warp Instability Undying Mutations/Gifts: •Pseudo-Demonhood (Nurgle)(Fear(CB) (1 Disturbing), Warp Instability, Undying) Gear: •BQ Chainaxe[Any acquisition at +0 total availability (no downgrades)] –Venom Drip[free weapon upgrade] •BQ Dagger —Balanced —Razor Sharp •Flak Armor •BQ Shield —Shield •Lasgun w/ 2 charge packs —Reliable •Fire Caster w/ 4 Fire Flasks, 2 Tox Flasks and 2 Dream Flasks. —Spray, Flame •BQ Composite Bow w/ 40 Arrows and 10 Explosive Arrows —Reliable –Powerful Draw —Barrage •Medikit Advances: 1000/1000 250:[K]Flesh Render (Allied) 200:[K]Athletics (Allied) 250:[U]+5 WS (simple) 100:[N]+5 Toughness (simple)(true) 200:[N]Iron Jaw (true) XP:50 Liquid Dinosaur fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Sep 15, 2016 |

That's a cool Nurgle. 10 Corruption Mutation: 1d100 58 Pseudo-Daemonhood, Intelligent Cyst or Warp Eater. Assuming you like Pseudo-Daemonhood: The character gains the Fear 4 (Terrifying), Warp Instability, and Undying Traits.

When we update our character sheets, do we update both the IC and OOC versions?

I'd imagine you adjust your stats in the initial game post and link to it in the future.

Yeah you update that first one in the game thread. Vicissitude, Solomon is talking to the NPC heretek, not you

This is a little easy encounter to see how easily you maul a bunch of random idiots. In the unlikely event that they beat YOU up, you'll just wake up later, possibly with cybernetics.
