Someone needs to make a summary of the various death, near-death, and what-the-gently caress Warp experiences so far because I've lost track of them all.

First encounter with Abraxus, second encounter with Abraxus, drop pod DDay, psider, Travis the assasin, iloveyou virus, tyranids, fighting the first Magos, waking Athena, getting literally nuked, going through the Webway, fighting the second Magos, getting literally beheaded by the Magos, iloveyou virus, third encounter with Abraxus/Gorgon, getting literally killed in the Warp, being thrown to Krieg, talking with the God-Emperor in 30k, waking Hera, face-melting meeting with the God-Emperor in 40k, and negotiating with Anna.

I'm sure I missed some.

So I found a thing http://sortinghatchats.tumblr.com/post/121904186113/the-basics

I think Ohone would probably be Gryffindor primary/Ravenclaw secondary

quote:

Gryffindor Primaries trust their moral intuitions and have a need and a drive to live by them. They feel what’s right in their gut, and that matters and guides them. If they don’t listen to and act on that, it feels immoral.

We call Gryffindor morality “felt” but that doesn’t mean they’re all impetuous, emotional hellions. Gryffindors can still be intelligent, deliberate creatures who weigh their decisions and moralities carefully. Reasoning, intellectualizing and debate can be support for a Gryffindor’s felt morality– but those things can never make a fully satisfying morality in themselves. Some things are just wrong, no matter what pretty words you use to explain them.

Ravenclaw Secondaries plan. They collect information, they strategize. They have tools. They run hypotheticals and try to plan ahead for things that might come up. They build things (of varying degrees of practicality and actual usefulness) that they can use later– whether that’s an emergency supply pack, a vast knowledge of Renaissance artistic techniques and supplies, or a series of lists and contingency plans. They feel less at home in improvisation and more comfortable planning ahead and taking the time to be prepared.

I think Fabiyan might be ...

quote:

Ravenclaw Primaries have a constructed system that they test their decisions against before they feel comfortable calling something right. This system might be constructed by them, or it might have been taught to them as children, or it might have been discovered by them some point later in life. But it gives them a way to frame the world and a confidence in their ability to interact with it morally.

Ravenclaws do not lack an intuitive sense of morality or gut feeling about things, but they distrust those instincts and have a need to ignore or to dig down deep and dissect those internal moral impulses. Living within their built moral system is as important to a Ravenclaw as to a Gryffindor; it’s the source of the morality that differs between them–what they trust.

Hufflepuff Secondaries toil. Their strength comes from their consistency and the integrity of their method. They’re our hard workers. They build habits and systems for themselves and accomplish things by keeping at them. They have a steadiness that can make them the lynchpin (though not usually the leader) of a community. While stereotyped as liking people and being kind (and this version is perhaps a common reality), a Hufflepuff secondary can also easily be a caustic, introverted misanthrope who runs on hard work alone.

Ohone:

quote:

INTJ: The outside contractor

INTJs are solid, competent personalities who may seem aloof and even arrogant, but who are typically highly skilled in any field which interests them. INTJs are confident in their skills and knowledge, self-assured, and imaginitive; their exceptional problem-solving skills make them ideal architects, auto mechanics, and tools of the evil empire. While it requires the driving will to conquer of an ENTJ to imagine the Death Star and the evil genius of an ENTP to invent its devastating weapons systems, the skill and technical prowess of the INTJ is what makes the whole thing work.

The INTJ sees life as a problem to be solved. For that reason, the INTJ is the person a company brings in from the outside to streamline production processes and identify redundant assets for termination. The INTJ's combination of analyticial problem-solving skills and complete and utter disregard for the morality or consequences of his actions also make him ideal for the job of hatchet man, CIA operative, and helpdesk operator.

RECREATION: INTJs are often baffled by the strange and incomprehensible recreational rituals of other people, such as going to parties, watching television, and having sex. Instead, they prefer to spend their leisure time installing twin missile launchers in their cars to deter tailgaters and playing chess with megalomaniac CEOs of the Tyrell corporation.

COMPATIBILITY: Silly person, INTJs don't have relationships! They may, however build their own friends.

Fabiyan can be

quote:

ESTJ: The Bureaucrat

Like ESFJs, ESTJs value continuity and order. They have outstanding organizational skills, and are meticulousand detail-oriented. Unlike ESFJs, ESTJs are followers and joiners; they are happiest when they belong to organizations, the larger and more mind-numbing the better. ESFJs often have an abnormal obsession with being normal at all costs.

ESTJs thrive in occupations which best utilize their organizational skills, such as driver's license bureau worker, junior bank teller, postal employee, COBOL programmer, or any other profession which involves long periods of mind-crushing tedium, preferably involving counting things. Quiet and courageous, they can perform difficult tasks other personality types are not well-suited for, such as denying health insurance benefits to crippled children with leukemia. They also make excellent extras in Hollywood movies.

RECREATION: ESTJs enjoy the company of others, and are often fixtures at office parties, where they cut loose by working the photocopier that the naked ESFP is sitting on. They also enjoy lining up sharp pencils on an otherwise clear desk.

COMPATIBILITY: ESTJs make good companions for ESFJs; the ESFJ lays down how it's going to be, and the ESTJ happily bounds along like a puppy dog. A big, orderly, tidy puppy dog that loves to count things.

You could feel him kiss your back. “So I was thinking.”
“Mm?”
“We might be in a better position than I thought.”
You turned, smiled at him. “I like the position we’re in now.”
“With Anna gone, Huron has a weaker hand.”
“Ah.” You sighed. “Work talk.”
“Sorry. Got to thinking.”
“No, it’s fine. Go ahead.”
“Warbands of the Great Enemy are fragile at the best of times, right?”
“Well. Some more than others. The Blood God is the most likely, for example.”
“But still, they lose their leader, they’ll turn on themselves.”
You considered it. “Mm … possibly, yeah.”
“So, we take out their leader.”
“Go in, all guns blazing?”
“Sure. This ship is faster than anything they might have, and with more firepower.”
You frowned. “It’s risky. Will we have the Craftworlds as back up?”
“You know them. It’s hard to get them to commit to anything.”
“Still. Our ship versus a quarter of the ships of the Maelstrom?”
“Most of them are committed to Ceres. There’s only a small group acting as their leadership fleet.”
“Mm. So, run through their lines, punch out Huron, and all the forces chasing us turn on each other.”
“Yeah. It will make it a lot easier to pick off the survivors, as opposed to fighting a united front.”
You blinked. “It’s … an aggressive move. Audacious, even. You don’t usually go for the high risk choices.”
He shrugged. “We don’t have time to fortify things the way I would like, and they aren’t marching into my prepared traps.”
“I suppose. I don’t picture any problems actually fighting their leadership fleet, but getting through or around the bulk of their forces has me nervous.”
He nodded. “That’s fair. We don’t have to commit to it immediately, or at all. Just an idea I had.”
You pulled him close. “I like your ideas.”

Slice of Life: The Three Amigos. Location: The Empiricist, Eastern Fringe, Ultima Segmentum.

Athena, Sebekh and Ohone stood overlooking a vast operating suite. Thousands of surgical arrays like jellyfish hanging over operating slabs manned by just as many figures in blue robes. Each bed was home to an unconscious human body, moved onto the slabs for surgery and then moved off the slabs to the recovery wards.

"The nanoserum is working better than anticipated. The menials are averaging seventy-two to ninety-four minutes before they are able to return to their labours. I've been keeping track and subsequent to enhancement, the menials are reporting feeling refreshed and able to perform extended shifts without additional fatigue after only three hours of sleep. The subsequent reduction in fatigue has had the added benefit of increasing morale amongst the menials by approximately 32.9324%, especially among those menials with children." Ohone reported with a smile. She seemed happiest when working on research projects of a beneficial nature.

"I'm glad your pet project has proven to be so successful. My Chronokineticists have been reporting figures that support your assessment." Sebekh nodded his appreciation as he reached into the suites below, connecting with hundreds of the camera feeds and diagnostic outputs and watching precisely what was being done. The combination of nanobot-driven internal enhancements and larger surgical modifications took less than ten minutes per body. A fact that impressed him considerably. His student was advancing in skill in mere weeks what would have taken another centuries. He mused on what he would have been capable of at this moment had he been given the same advantages when he was as young as she. He made a note to ask Athena about temporal transmission of large volumes of data.

Almost as though she knew he was deep in thought, Athena nudged him. "I'd be surprised if you hadn't been elbow-deep too, Sebekh. What's this project you earmarked in the research database marked 'Perfecti'? You've put more project hours into it than almost anything else lately."

Jolted from his thoughts he caught himself immediately and turned to face her with more than a little bit of a prideful smile. "I'll show you later. I think you'll approve."

"I also noticed we're heading fringeward. Any particular reason?"

"Again, I'll show you later." His grin broadened.
